Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Now that the positions have reversed, it's Tianyu Guang's turn to stall for time.

During this time, it is necessary to keep a close eye on her and see what other tricks this cunning snake might play.

Kuroba An took a leisurely sip of the drink in his glass, shook his head in dissatisfaction, and said...

"Hmm... it's just so-so. Compared to the wine that made us feel so good the other day, it's far inferior in taste."

"You came out just to have a drink?"

“How could that be? It’s been so long since we last met. It seems like we haven’t talked face-to-face like this since we became one, my dear sister.”

"I'm not your sister!"

"Why won't you admit it? Our relationship is clearly closer than that of twin sisters in the human world..."

"That's because you ate me! Otherwise, how could I have merged with such an evil creature as you!"

This is how Kushinada-hime's memories are influencing Ama-hime.

There was no reason for Hikari Amagi to hate Orochi, since Orochi hadn't done anything to her.

The only reason that Amane Hikaru hated Orochi was because Orochi possessed her older brother, causing her brother to be expelled from the family and sent to Tokyo.

But this is only a temporary separation; she will eventually bring her brother back to her side.

Therefore, her deep-seated hatred and fear of Orochi actually stemmed from the original Kushinada-hime.

"You were the one who cut off the heads of my other comrades first, so I risked my last breath to bite you back. This is just karma. Did I make you a god? No, it was the humans who took it upon themselves to worship your and my 'corpses' as divine bodies that merged you and me together."

Then the corpse would eventually decompose and decay, and then the divine essence would be transferred to the human bloodline, continuing to this day through human reproduction.

"Tsk...!"

"Back then, you and I could only rely on humans to continue our existence. Fortunately, we met a brother and sister who were willing to accept us. Now you have gained your freedom... but what is the price?"

The price was that she herself was replaced by humans, while the snake on the other side had no personal freedom, but could coexist with Kuroba Akira.

This is actually an attempt to undermine her personality and weaken the influence of Amayu Hikaru.

However, her spirit could not be shaken by any words.

"Why are you still able to come out? I am the subject of the faith, and here you have no means to replenish the faith. You should not have any means to descend to the mortal world, let alone possess your brother's body."

"Well, I guess that's what you call a coincidence. I never thought I'd have the chance to come out."

"Forget it, no matter how you got out, you're just a weak worm like an earthworm now. What can you possibly do?"

This is a fact.

The two sides still have a hopeless gap in combat strength.

Even though he stole a portion of the Inari God's faith and was able to appear in the world, at this moment, Kuroba An was still not strong enough to contend with Ame no Hikari in terms of strength.

"I could kill you even when you had eight heads, so killing you again with only one head left wouldn't be difficult."

"Anyway, you're not going to kill me and Mingjun together, so you don't need to hiss at me like a stressed kitten. I'm just here as a 'persuader'."

Black Feather Darkness curved her hair into an extremely alluring smile.

That was a sly smile she had never shown in front of Kuroba Akira.

Snakes are among the most cunning creatures.

Do you know what your brother... the most remarkable quality of a wise ruler is?

Kuroba An lightly touched the corner of his lips with his index finger and said.

"It's this mouth."

"..."

"So all I need to do is make good use of this weapon, and there are also legends about my kind in this world, who are even more eloquent."

It tells the story of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who used cunning words to tempt Eve to disobey God's command and eat the forbidden fruit of knowledge, causing humanity to lose its original innocence.

"No one can convince me to give up, not even my brother!"

Amane Hikaru had already made up her mind.

As she journeyed back through her memories, what sustained her was her will to return to her brother's side.

I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely... want to go back to my brother's side.

It started as such a simple wish, but then the desire within it kept expanding, and it became no longer enough to just see each other once.

After suffering so much, how could I be satisfied just by seeing my brother?

Yes, I deserve more and to taste the sweetness after bitterness.

Therefore, I want to keep my brother by my side forever.

I want to be with my brother forever.

Willpower turned into obsession, and obsession twisted the mind, eventually leading the younger sister to evolve into the ultimate yandere.

"I didn't mean to persuade you to give up; I'm just here to tell you some facts."

"..."

“I am the opposite of the same god, so I know what you want to do, and knowing that I do is the same as knowing that the wise ruler does.”

Amane Hikaru frowned.

Your brother already knows?

But he just acted as if he knew nothing about it...

"Actually, if I wanted to fight you with violence, staying in Sapporo might have been a more advantageous option, because I can also receive faith... but it's still not as good as you being worshipped by the Amamiya family. That's why Myojun decided to come to Tokyo to find other ways out, since there are many gods here who are much more powerful than you and me."

"...And then what they finally found was that cat? Hmph, what good is being old if you're a useless ancient god who can't even transform into a human?"

Amamiya Hikaru didn't think that Kuroo was anything special. Although he inherited a very ancient god's name and could do unique powers like Yomi Reversion, so what?

All she can give her brother now is the insignificant, trashy ability of 'eloquence,' and she herself even has to possess an animal.

"Yes, but she is the only solution that the wise ruler has found... and the wise ruler is willing to give his all for her."

"Give it your all...?"

In an instant, as if realizing something, Tianyu Guang rushed straight to Heiyu An, grabbed his collar and questioned him.

"You...! What did you do to my brother?!"

Kuroba An merely licked his lips and said with a pleased smile.

"Oh, this is really delicious... a memory of a wise ruler."

"You...! You ate my brother's memories?! How could you do such a thing?! My brother will be bleached and become mentally disabled!"

Memories are equivalent to personality; consuming memories is equivalent to erasing personality. Kuroba Akira, having lost all his memories, will become an empty shell without any thoughts.

No, that's not right.

If that's the case, then the older brother wouldn't be able to speak normally.

Not to mention that after arriving in Tokyo, the brother managed to hook up with so many girls, which is something that someone with intellectual disabilities couldn't do.

Is the snake lying? No, at this point, she has no reason to lie to herself about something like this, so…

"Why don't you look in your memory? You should already know the truth."

"..."

Hikaru Tenyu began searching through memories from not long ago.

Memories of seeing my brother for the first time after arriving in Tokyo, and memories afterward...

"Is the brother I have now... a brother from a parallel universe?"

"That's right, he was a wise ruler who lived a different life, and in his world, 'his sister was never born'."

"...!!!"

Bai Yuming has no younger sister, so naturally he has no memories related to her.

"Now, it's time for your question, sister~ Because you consumed Mingjun's 'memories of the first half of his life,' this body, after becoming an empty shell, has been connected to Mingjun's memories without his sister. What will happen then?"

"...How could you do such a thing...!"

Tenyu Hikaru trembled.

She had realized just how disgusting a trap the snake had set.

They were there entirely to ruin her plans.

No... is this what my brother wanted?

Brother...do you really not want to be with me?

Willing to sacrifice the memories of being with her...

"Waaaaah... No! I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to! This is too much! Too much! Too much! This is too much! How could you do such a thing! What's the point of everything I've done if this happens!"

Tenyu Hikaru's emotions collapsed instantly; she clutched her head and uttered hysterical complaints.

The only bystander at the scene, Tsukimi Rimi, couldn't understand why her seemingly omnipotent younger sister had suddenly broken down emotionally, so she started to think back to what her older sister had said.

Kuroba An consumed Kuroba Akira's memories of the first half of his life, and then took over Kuroba Akira's memories of not having a younger sister...

"what……!"

Tsukimi Ryou also figured out the logic behind it.

Akira Kuroba's memories before arriving in Tokyo were eaten by a snake, and then a new, different Akira Kuroba inherited those memories. This process was essentially resetting the starting point of his 'rebirth'.

To use a game as an example, if you delete the old save file and then copy the new save file to the same save slot, then starting a new playthrough will result in...

In the end, Kuroba An revealed the truth mercilessly.

"Sister is about to reveal the answer~ If you kill Mingjun and then rebirth him, his memories will not continue. Instead, he will revert to 'the state of Mingjun when he first came into this world without his sister'~"

"That is to say, he will forget you every time he is reincarnated."

"Your experience with him will not continue."

"If you think this is acceptable, then come and kill, kill as many as you want."

"Anyway, you can't find a brother who treats you like a sister anywhere anymore."
