"Kyosuke Kosaka thought for a moment, unable to describe it well, 'Fainting is just an outward manifestation. Once that thing is completely depleted, I'm afraid I won't be able to travel through time anymore.'"
"So, you want to stay and gather as much information as possible, then go back when you're discovered and hunted, minimizing the number of trips and avoiding waste, right?"
"Ibirui immediately understood his thoughts and analyzed them incisively. Upon hearing this, Kousaka Kyosuke looked embarrassed and lowered his head in shame, saying, 'Although I am sorry to everyone at Blue Rose and Brian, but…'"
Before he could finish speaking, his head was forced to rise uncontrollably, not allowed to show this cowardly and remorseful posture.
"Kousaka Kyosuke looked up and saw Evilue holding a mask against his chin and lifting it up. Her face showed no anger or disappointment, only a hint of helplessness and resignation, as if she knew she couldn't do anything about him."
"Your method will work too." Ibiruai paused, "but there's one condition."
"Mmm." Kyosuke Kousaka was overjoyed and listened attentively, feeling a warm glow in his heart. He felt that being teleported to the vicinity of Evilue was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him.
"He was prepared to be scolded for being heartless, since Evilue and Blue Rose's teammates had a deep bond and he couldn't bear to watch them panic after they couldn't find him."
"However, the other party was so understanding and forgiving that he was truly flattered."
"If it were someone like Kirino, forget about forgiveness. Just the fact that she didn't yell and throw a punch at me would be a blessing in disguise."
"Sounds like she's a younger sister who's not the same type as me?"
Komachi and Kei stopped in their tracks, looking surprised and uncertain. They knew that Kousaka Kyosuke was a good older brother who was no less than their own. How could someone with such a brother be unreasonable and violent?
"Slander! Slander! It's all slander! Ahhh, you bastard Kyosuke!"
At the same time, on the street, Kirino Kousaka was furious. Even if she used to do that all the time, she had changed now and hadn't touched him for a month.
"How can he hold a grudge like that? It's infuriating!"
Seeing her temporarily forget about her rival and love because of her anger, the other three girls looked at her with deep eyes, knowing that she was only being restrained on the surface.
However, this is good.
Kirino continues to maintain her natural and free personality, which also reduces one opponent, a win-win situation... Unfortunately, Evileye won both parts by herself, which is truly enviable and makes people jealous.
“This…” In a house some distance away, Izumi Sagiri blushed, thinking that she had not been grateful for her brother’s efforts before and had been too willful.
Thankfully, she didn't act like Kirino Kousaka, who would beat and kick her brother at the drop of a hat. From now on, she'll have to be careful not to be too shy and to treat her brother even better.
Having learned a bad example, Izumi Sagiri hugged her body pillow, nodded, and vowed to be a good little sister.
Of course, she couldn't be a good younger sister like Komachi and Kei; what she wanted to be was someone else entirely.
"Humph!"
Inside the courtyard, Brian, wielding his knife, smirked. Seeing that his cheap apprentice still remembered him, he naturally felt happy and was more motivated to continue his training.
As for the Blue Rose, it was completely silent.
They could roughly guess what Ibiruai's request was.
"Ibiruai's request is to put aside the exploration of the undead in the Magic Kingdom for now and accompany her to a place, a country that has long been reduced to ruins."
Logically speaking, this could be considered Kousaka Kyosuke meeting his parents-in-law, but considering the scene in Evilue's hometown, no one would naturally make fun of this scar.
Traveling day and night at the speed of two fourth-tier mages, they arrived at their destination several days later.
"What came into view was a scene of ruins, with some undead, rotting corpses lying haphazardly on the ruins. Their hands and feet had been torn off, some were eaten to pieces, and others were cut in half at the waist."
"Most of them no longer have complete corpses. Only low-level skeletons that emerged from the ruins of the Magic Kingdom and are scattered all over the world are wandering around the ruins."
"It is obvious that the native undead here naturally engaged in a chaotic battle after encountering the skeletons of the Sorcerer Kingdom, and were soon defeated and became dust in history."
"..."
"Ibiruai stood outside the ruins, gazing into the distance for a long time, then put on a mask, and without a word, rushed into the ruins, unleashing a massacre with all his might."
"His ruthless and merciless demeanor was even more terrifying than when he fought Entoma."
"Although Kousaka Kyosuke doesn't know any of the inside story, he can vaguely figure out something just by looking at it."
"Ibiruai is strong, but it is ultimately beyond its capabilities to single-handedly and relentlessly attack low-level skeletons that have spread throughout a country, even if there are not enough skeletons to fill the entire land."
"Kousaka Kyosuke, who was standing by, naturally did not stand idly by. After a moment of shock and a brief period of confused thought, he immediately rushed in to help his savior out of the predicament."
"The two fought from day to dusk, panting heavily, before finally clearing away the ruins."
With a snap, the last skull was smashed. Ibiruai looked around at this place that had changed beyond recognition and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka hesitated several times before finally mustering his courage and asking cautiously, "...Can you tell me about it?"
"Ibiruai seemed not to hear, and remained silent for a long time before raising her hand and pointing to a dusty, ruined palace not far away with a slender, white finger."
“I was born there more than two hundred years ago,” she began in a muffled voice.
689. Evileye, who will eventually trample Kirino.
"From birth, I have been the princess of this country."
"Ibiruai's voice at this moment revealed no emotion, joy or sorrow: 'When I was about seven or eight years old, my father told me to study hard so that I could protect the country and its people in the future. My mother complained that it was too early.'"
"Back then, I didn't quite understand. But as long as I lived my life step by step, one day I would understand my father's high expectations for me and take on my own responsibilities."
"If everything goes well."
"She paused for several seconds at this point: '...When I was twelve years old, a terrifying force and magic, from nowhere, swept across the entire country in an instant.'"
"Right before my eyes, my father, my mother, and later I learned that the guards, and even the entire nation, everyone lost themselves under the influence of that sudden magic, instantly turning into the lowest level of the undead, the walking corpses."
"Without reason, without soul, without memory, it slowly awaits decay while aimlessly wandering the kingdom's streets and alleys, tearing apart any living thing that comes its way."
"And on that day," she turned, meeting Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze through her mask, "I became a vampire."
"Before this, she had never revealed her current race to anyone."
"Kousaka Kyousuke is not surprised."
"Back then, Evilai let slip that it was 'more than two hundred years ago,' and when he was mistaken for a vampire in the vampire village later on, the combination of these two pieces of information was enough for him to deduce that Evilai was a vampire, even if his reasoning ability was average."
"At this moment, what truly left him speechless was not the issue of racial segregation, but rather Ibiruai's difficult childhood experiences."
"All I know is to cry, hide in the ruins, barely clinging to life, not knowing what to do," Ibiruai said to herself, as if she didn't need his comfort.
"I waited here alone for several years, and no one came to rescue me, until I felt I couldn't continue like this, so I went out on my own."
"Leaving this country, going to other places, encountering all sorts of people... For over two hundred years, I have been searching for a way to turn the people of my homeland back into humans, but so far, nothing has improved."
"In the very end, she was targeted by Entoma, attacked and killed, her voice was taken away, and even her homeland did not escape the calamity. She became one of the insignificant victims of the undead from the Magic Kingdom's rampage across the world."
"Kousaka Kyosuke's lips moved. He thought of his ability to travel back thirty years, when the zombies on the ruins were still there and could still be saved."
"If he can rely on his extraordinary magical talent to reach the sixth level of magic, he might be able to turn the living zombies back into humans."
"It seems that Ibiruai's efforts over the past two hundred years have not been in vain."
"...Can I really be the answer you're looking for? Am I really capable?" Kousaka Kyosuke's throat tightened as he suddenly realized something, and his palms sweated.
"This responsibility is too heavy, so heavy that he dares not have confidence."
"He's just an ordinary high school student. Even if he's lucky enough to have these abilities and is determined to save the world, it's different."
"His decision to save the world was his own initiative."
"Nobody knows, nobody expects anything, so there's nothing to worry about whether we succeed or fail. Just do our best and have a clear conscience."
"But now, Ibiruai is looking forward to him."
"Could he really... become the hero who saves Evilua?"
"Kousuke Kosaka clenched and unclenched his fists, gazing at the girl before him."
"Evilue didn't speak. Kousaka Kyosuke only saw her nod slightly, and a soft 'hmm' that was almost inaudible drifted on the wind."
"Kyosuke Kosaka felt his heart ignite instantly. He was no longer afraid. He took on the responsibility, took a step forward."
"His body moved faster than his mind, and he reached out his right hand to remove Ibiruai's mask."
"Without the cover, as her stunning face was revealed once more, so too were the few tears that slid down her cheeks, tears of sorrow streaming down her face."
"I will... I will do it, Evilue!" Never before had Kyosuke Kousaka felt his heart flutter as he made such a solemn promise.
Ibiruai closed her eyes, letting the tears stream down her face, and slowly nodded: "Mmm, mmm."
"On the ruins, Kyosuke Kousaka and Ivilue were less than half a meter apart. Their shadows stretched long and overlapped in the afterglow of the setting sun."
"..."
Inside the red ball space, Kyosuke Kosaka stared blankly at the scene, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
My mind is in turmoil, and my head is spinning.
I long to reach out and stroke Ibiruai's face, to gently wipe away her tears of sorrow.
I long to take another step forward, without any hesitation, to pull her petite body into my arms and hold her tightly, never letting go as long as I don't get slapped or called a pervert.
"I want to...I want to..."
With one hand covering his head, Kyosuke Kousaka's ambitions grew like weeds. Never before had he felt such intense and passionate feelings and desires for a girl.
There was none for Manami, none for Ayase, none for Kuroneko, not even for Kirino.
He really wanted to do that, and he could see that his future self, and his past self, must have wanted to do the same.
But he dares not. He wouldn't dare in the future, and he doesn't dare now either.
"This is...love? Me...?"
With his mind in turmoil, Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head, his breathing rapid. As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is clear, and at this moment, he finally understood his own heart.
But he could also see that those involved are often blinded by their own emotions, and that his future self at this point probably hadn't yet realized the extent of his feelings.
"Ibiruai, who has lived for more than two hundred years, has seen through the coldness and warmth of the world. It is difficult to move her heart. The most crucial prerequisite is that there must be hope to help her save the people of her homeland."
Honami Ichinose murmured wistfully, "It just so happens that Kyosuke Kousaka has that potential, so from the very beginning he melted the biggest block of ice in her heart, and then slowly touched her feelings... How wonderful."
Although Evilue's initial motivation was to seek the benefits that Kousaka Kyosuke could bring, it had nothing to do with feelings. Their friendship developed later and was purely based on mutual affection.
Such a flawless love is both convincing and moving.
Honami Ichinose covered her chest with both hands, sighed, and her eyes were full of emotion and pure, innocent blessings for the beautiful, budding romance between the two of them, who were unaware of their own feelings for each other.
