"Kill me?" Makima whispered. "Of course you can. But..." Her fingers gently pushed the gun away. "Can you do it?"
Scathach's pupils shrank slightly, and her voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Humph, do you think I can't do it?"
Meanwhile, Xiao San was lying in his bed, feeling relieved at the rare moment of solitude... he was a little tired from the last overly enthusiastic demand for love.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system interface. The quest progress bar flickered, displaying "Chainsaw Man World Quest 25% Completed."
"There's still a long way to go." Xiaosan whispered to himself.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, and Xiaosan looked at his hands. How many people had these hands hurt without him even realizing it?
He thought about how he had had relationships with so many women... Although it was all for the purpose of saving others, saving the world, and being able to return home safely, the guilt of "cheating" and "playing with too many women" came over him like a tide, almost suffocating him.
"I'm sorry..." Xiaosan said to himself, but he didn't know who he was apologizing to.
A shrill alarm blared in his head, and Xiaosan felt his temples throbbing. The system's mechanical voice was cold and merciless:
'Warning: Mission target dead.'
'Mission failed.
'System punishment program activated.'
"Wait!" Xiao San tried to stop him, but it was too late. Intense pain exploded from deep within his brain, and he felt like the whole world was spinning.
When Xiao San opened his eyes again, the sight before him took his breath away. The sky was like a shattered mirror, a strange purple light seeping through the cracks. Buildings were twisted into impossible angles, and a vortex of time and space drifted through the streets.
"What...place is this?" Xiaosan muttered to himself, his voice producing a strange echo in the distorted space.
Kozo wandered aimlessly along the shattered streets. Familiar images occasionally flashed through the vortex of time and space: Scathach brandishing a gun in the training ground, Denji's shy smile, Hayakawa Aki's furious eyes...
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the images, but only grasped nothingness.
Xiao San stood in the distorted space and time, his voice unexpectedly calm: "System, tell me how to make amends."
The system interface responded quickly:
Plan: Merge the Chainsaw Man world with the main world
Effect: Repair the space-time rift and save the current world
Side Effect: Cognitive Restructuring
"Cognitive reconstruction?" Xiao San frowned. "What exactly do you mean?"
The translucent system interface expands the detailed explanation: Cognitive reconstruction is to modify the memory of all relevant personnel.
New memory: The world of Chainsaw Man is already connected to the main world
Deleted memories: events related to the space-time rift
Effect: Everything will seem logical
Takashi's fingers unconsciously rubbed his chin. "So... everyone will think that the Chainsaw Man world and the main world have always been one?"
'Correct,' the system replied, 'as if they had never been separated.'
Xiao San looked at the fragmented scene around him and asked, "If we choose integration, will people be happy?"
The system was silent for a moment: "It is impossible to predict individual happiness. But one thing is certain: the world will return to stability. The choice is in the hands of the host."
Xiao San took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He thought of Scathach's trusting eyes, the shy smile of the electric, the angry expression of Hayakawa Aki... and Makima, the woman who brought him into this game.
“Let’s do it,” Xiao San decided. “Merge the two worlds.”
'Confirm the command and start the fusion process.'
Xiao San felt his consciousness begin to blur. In the last moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear Scathach's voice.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiaosan opened his eyes and was greeted by the familiar ceiling. He reached for his phone by the bed, the screen displaying the familiar year and time... His laptop lay quietly on the desk.
"It seems...successful?" He murmured softly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the screen of his mobile phone.
Suddenly, a strong smell of burning filled his nose. Xiao San frowned, stood up, and followed the smell to the kitchen.
The scene before him made him laugh and cry: Altria was waving the spatula in a panic, her golden fur was covered with flour, and her apron was covered with oil stains.
"Saber..." Takashi San said helplessly, "What are you doing?"
Altria turned around so suddenly that the fried egg flew off the spatula, "Master! I-I'm preparing breakfast."
Xiao San looked at the mess in the kitchen: the overturned flour bag, the burnt frying pan, and the strangely shaped fried egg on the floor...
"I remember..." Takashi San tried hard to suppress his laughter, "You seemed to have said that you were good at cooking?"
Altria's face flushed instantly, "In my time, it was true, but these kitchen utensils..." Before she could finish her words, the microwave oven suddenly made a "bang" sound.
Xiaosan quickly turned off the power, but he was still a step too late... black smoke came out of the microwave.
"Forget it..." Takashi San sighed, "I'll make breakfast."
He put on his apron and began to clean up the mess. Artoria stood aside, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Master..." Altria whispered, "I'm sorry."
Xiao San turned around and saw her aggrieved expression. He couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, just learn slowly."
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Kozo really enjoyed this daily routine. 'It's good to be back...'
Chapter 108: 107 Shura Field (I): Master, Aho-King, Makima, and Horikita Suzune's Big Brawl
Altria nestled in Takashi's arms, her golden hair falling across his chest. She raised her head, a puzzled look in her emerald eyes: "Master, you seem quite free today?"
Takashi's fingers unconsciously stroked her hair. "Well, today... nothing special."
His eyes were a little dazed, as if he was trying to recall something. Altria was keenly aware of his abnormality and asked, "Are you really okay?"
Xiaosan tried hard to recall, but could only catch some fragments.
like......
By the way, Ms. Mai, we need to deal with that matter.
But the rest...
"Strange, have I forgotten something important?" Xiaosan said to himself.
Altria sat up straight and looked at him seriously, "Do you need my help? If it's about the Master..."
Xiao San shook his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
At this moment, the TV suddenly broadcast a news report: "Today, demonic incidents are frequent. Citizens are requested to be extra careful."
Xiaosan's pupils contracted slightly, and vague memories suddenly emerged.
"Master?" Altria looked at him worriedly, "You don't look well."
Xiao San came back to his senses and rubbed his temples, "Maybe I'm a little tired."
In the afternoon, the sunlight gradually became dazzling. Xiao San stood at the window, watching the pedestrians on the street. Everything seemed so normal, yet it seemed to be hiding something.
He took out his phone and found some new names in his address book: Hayakawa Aki, Denji, Makima...
Altria hugged him from behind, "Master, do you want to take a break?"
Xiao San nodded, but he felt a hole in his heart. He felt like he had forgotten something important.
Xiao San stared at his phone screen, the number of unread messages making his scalp tingle. He clicked on the latest one:
Yukino: Onii-chan, are you free this weekend?
Then came Yang No's message: I found a great place! Please reply to me soon (?o?o?)
(Attachment: Positioning of a high-end restaurant)
Then came Lingyin's question: Why did you miss class... Are you sick? Do you want me to bring you notes?
What confused Takashi San even more was the missed call:
Machima: 3 missed calls
Jiye: 5 missed calls
Altria leaned over to look, "Master, are you busy again?"
"I'm not sure either..." Takashi San smiled bitterly.
"System." Xiao San called softly, "What on earth is this world like?"
But the system didn't respond. Ever since the world merged, the system had fallen silent.
Altria's stomach made a gurgling sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet room. Her face instantly flushed, and her golden hair drooped. "Xiao San, I..."
Xiao San couldn't help laughing, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
He remembered the tragedy in the kitchen and decided it would be safer to take her out to eat.
Walking down the street, Xiao San noticed a newly opened family restaurant. The dishes displayed in the window looked quite tempting, especially the mountain of hamburger patties.
"Let's do it here." Xiaosan pushed open the glass door.
Artoria's eyes lit up instantly... When the waiter brought the dishes, her eyes almost turned into stars. She couldn't wait to pick up the fork, but then she remembered the etiquette of being a "king" and tried to maintain an elegant posture when eating.
Xiaosan looked at her trying to restrain herself but unable to resist eating heartily, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"Master..." Altria suddenly leaned forward, half a hamburger in her mouth, "Would you like to try it?"
Xiao San was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Altria had already kissed him. The warm food passed through their lips and teeth, carrying her unique sweet scent.
"Is it delicious?" asked Altria with a blushing face, her golden ahoge swaying happily.
Takashi nodded: "Yeah, it's delicious."
The British King of Daimao was still a clingy and lovable little wife in front of Xiaosan, which made Xiaosan feel relieved.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open. A familiar voice came: "Xiao Sanjun? What a coincidence~"
Xiao San looked up and saw Makima standing at the door, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes. Behind her, followed by Ji Ye, who looked unhappy.
Artoria immediately became alert, her golden fur standing straight up, "Master, they are..."
Makima walked over gracefully, a dangerous glint flashing in her golden eyes. "Can you sit down?"
Altria looked at her warily.
Takashi felt a cold sweat running down his back, "Ah...this is Ms. Makima, and Ms. Himeno, both of them are my colleagues."
Even before the world fusion, Takashi San had learned from the system that Makima was killed by Scathach. Known Combat Power: Artoria Pendragon = Scathach (in Takashi San's eyes). So... if Artoria murdered Makima over a disagreement, there would be no remedy.
Altria nodded thoughtfully and moved a little further inside. But her eyes never left Makima, like a lion guarding its food.
Without a word, Himeno sat down next to Takashi, deliberately getting close to her. She glanced at Altria and said sourly, "Hey, Takashi, is this... your new love?"
Takashi San felt very uncomfortable: "No, no."
"This morning's meeting is very important." Makima elegantly cut the steak the waiter had just brought. "Takashi San-kun didn't come, and he didn't answer the phone..." Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Is there something more important?"
Altria suddenly held Kozo's hand: "Master, this lady seems to care about you very much." Her tone was calm, but Kozo could feel her hand exerting a slight force.
On the other side, Ji Ye also took his arm without giving in.
"Xiao Sanjun~" Himeno deliberately dragged out his tone, "Are you free this weekend? I found a nice restaurant."
Makima wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully and said, "Speaking of which, there is an important task in the afternoon that requires the assistance of Xiao Sanjun."
Takashi felt himself being pulled by two forces. He glanced at the food on the table and suddenly wished he could be swallowed whole like the hamburger patty that Altria had just fed him.
At this moment, the door to the restaurant was pushed open again. A purple figure stood at the door.
"Xiao San." Scathach's voice was as cold as ice. "Explain what's going on?"
Xiao San felt his vision go dark. This merged world... was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Xiaosan's daily records
Number of participants in Shura Field: 4
Cold sweat secretion: Excessive
Special Note: You need to buy quick-acting heart-saving pills
Today's wish: I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into
Special Note: Saber is also cute when she's jealous (but dangerous)
After Makima and Himeno finally left, Kosan breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could relax, Scathach had already sat down next to him gracefully.
She crossed her long legs and folded her arms across her chest. Altria, standing opposite her, immediately went on alert, her golden fur standing straight up.
