Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran's eyes widened.

She could see it clearly; the smaller one had completely disappeared.

Tsukiya is gone?

Before An Ran could think it through, she noticed that the entire time loop was vibrating after the two bodies merged into one.

In order to maintain her balance, Anran had no choice but to retreat.

She cast a scout spell over there.

Unable to see the condition of the two people still inside, the feedback was information about a time loop.

It's collapsing!

This process lasted much shorter than Enron had imagined.

In just over three minutes, the time loop completely collapsed.

The strange power contained within poured out, rolling over An Ran's body like a mudslide.

An Ran, who had been swept away by the current, finally managed to regain her balance.

The tattered clothes weren't the problem; it was that a small part of my body had dissolved.

Fortunately, Virginia, who was exposed to the opposite side of Enron, did not notice anything unusual.

Otherwise, she would probably have a lot of questions in her mind.

Virginia kept her eyes closed.

A faint red glow floated around him.

The light did not completely envelop her graceful figure; instead, it accentuated her exquisite curves, making them even more eye-catching.

An Ran cast another reconnaissance spell.

This time she finally saw Virginia's complete information.

Name: Virginia (Zichya)

[Level]: Level 221

Not only has the level changed, but other attributes have also received a huge boost, and many new talents and skills have been added.

This includes a skill called [Life Forging].

This is an active skill.

The name suggests a connection to Virginia's "blacksmith" profession, but it is actually a very special recovery skill.

In Virginia's eyes after her advancement, everything in the world, whether living or dead, is something that can be forged!

Transforming the "bad" into the "good" is, in a sense, a form of restoration.

Once a target is selected, [Life Forging] can quickly restore 15% of the target's maximum health and temporarily and significantly increase the target's physical and magical resistance.

Although its recovery ability isn't particularly strong, the additional effects make the target more durable.

This is essentially a disguised way of increasing maximum health.

It's far superior to those simple recovery potions.

Anran never expected that the evolved Virginia would possess some of the characteristics of a healer.

Considering that Tsykia and Virginia's attribute panels can be converted, An Ran immediately became excited.

Given her relationship with Tsukiya, she should be able to enjoy some special services!

With that in mind, An Ran was no longer so concerned about Virginia's exposed figure.

Building muscle is much more fun than working out with women!

After waiting for a while, Virginia's eyes finally trembled.

An Ran excitedly leaned over.

"Virginia!"

Anran greeted her the moment she opened her eyes.

To Anran's surprise, Virginia was not as composed as she had imagined.

Her gaze darted away slightly.

Instead of responding to An Ran, he first put on a coat.

Only then did Virginia say, "Thank you."

"?"

An Ran felt a little puzzled.

In her mind, Virginia was a high-ranking and powerful figure.

She should have a stronger, more ruthless personality.

But now, even if you said she was Ciqiya Anran, she would believe it.

An Ran quickly asked, "Where did Ciqiya go?"

"what."

Virginia paused, a look of awkwardness on her face.

"Actually... there's something I didn't want to say... but I can't hide it now, so I'll just say it directly."

An Ran felt a vague sense of unease rising in her heart.

Could it be...?

“Zichia has disappeared,” Virginia sighed. “We were originally one person. To go any further, the only possibility is for us to merge into one. So Zichia…”

An Ran's face darkened.

No wonder he saw that scene just now.

In an instant, countless images of Tsykya flashed through An Ran's mind.

From the first time we met.

We said goodbye during a phone call not long ago.

It doesn't seem like too much time has passed.

It seems they haven't experienced much.

But the images flooding her mind were enough to fill Anran's mind.

"Pfft-"

Just then, Virginia suddenly burst out laughing.

An Ran recognized the voice.

Isn't that Tsukiya's laughter?

The voice didn't quite match Virginia's "imposing" figure.

As she laughed, Virginia's body shrank, and she completely transformed into Tsukiya's shape.

"Ok?"

Anran stopped thinking.

"What about the Virginians?"

If Tsykia is still alive and well, then wouldn't Virginia be the one who sacrificed herself?

Thinking about it this way, An Ran did not feel happy.

I'm still very reluctant to leave.

Ciqiya saw through Anran's thoughts: "Alright, alright, I know what you're worried about. Virginia is fine too."

Why don't you just let her out?

Then Tszky transformed back into Virginia.

"..."

Ciqiya said, "We are the same person."

Do you think I don't know you're the same person?

Anran couldn't help but want to complain.

Ciqiya chuckled: "You don't actually think that we, the same person, would have different personalities, do you? If that's the case, then what kind of 'same person' are we?"

"..."

"actually……"

Virginia smiled mischievously, mimicking Tsykya's mannerisms.

"Virginia's tough and cold personality is all an act. When I'm bored, what I like to do most is talk to myself and praise myself. It's so funny! Hahaha..."

"..."

An Ran was at a loss for words.

Are you angry because you were tricked?

That's true to some extent.

But her anger stemmed more from—

How did two people become one?!

Damn it, this is a downgrade! Give me back the other person!

Tsukiya reverted to her alternate form: "Hehe, isn't it fun to be one person doing the work of two?"

You think too much.

"Let's get out of here first," An Ran sighed.

Tsykya did not object.
