I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Even after the domain is removed, the effects within it will persist for a period of time. The longer you stay within the domain, the longer the effects will last.

Although the area has only been open for a short while, the effect is estimated to last for about half an hour.

With this in mind, Zhu Yu felt relieved and left Verlaine where he was.

Just then, Zhu Yu bumped into Rimbaud, who had rushed over. After circling Rimbaud's wife a few times, Zhu Yu went to find Dazai and the others.

How could I not brag to my friends that I'm suddenly older than them!

Open your friends list and click "Follow".

Zhu Yu quickly found Taizai on a small, high mound.

He had just finished putting down his communicator and reporting the situation to Mori Ōgai—the planned strategy hadn't been used, and Verlaine had been "dealt with" in such a dramatic way.

Mori Ōgai: "...Ah, I see, haha..."

Dazai: "Yes, that's right."

"Dazai, hello."

A player called out impatiently from behind.

Zhu Yu rushed towards him excitedly, straightening her back before she could even stand up straight, and proudly waved her hand above her head: "Look, I've grown up."

"I'm older than you now."

Before he finished speaking, Dazai narrowed his eyes, suddenly pressed down on her head with one hand, and gestured back and forth with the other hand to measure the height difference between their heads.

"Hey, but she still doesn't seem to be as tall as me~"

Dazai spoke in a deliberately soft voice, then smiled triumphantly, a wicked glint in his eyes.

Zhu Yu silently looked up, as if struck by lightning...

Chapter 158 Harsh Words

Harsh words hurt people's hearts.

Zhu Yu decided to pretend nothing had happened.

After circling around Hirotsu Ryūrō next to Dazai and saying hello, she decided...

Let's go find Chuuya.

*

Although the monitoring results suggest that Verlaine seems to have surrendered and has no intention of fighting any further.

However, Mori Ougai did not dare to gamble on that slight possibility, so Nakahara Chuuya, as a backup, arrived at the battlefield with Adam as originally planned.

After they jumped out of the helicopter and landed successfully, they discovered—

The atmosphere at the scene was almost too harmonious...

The members of the Port Mafia bent down to pick up their weapons, occasionally turning their heads to chat with the people next to them.

How are your injuries?

"Hey, thanks to Mr. Kawakami, it's all better now."

"you also?"

"Hahaha, yes..."

Upon seeing Chuuya Nakahara suddenly appear, the Port Mafia members who noticed him immediately turned serious and greeted him.

Adam looked around in surprise: "Mr. Chuuya, this unit detects that this group is in good health and relaxed..."

"This kind of thing can be seen without testing..."

Zhong was also shocked by this unusual post-war "landscape," and his lips twitched.

He managed to get a rough idea of ​​what he found below through his binoculars. Everything changed after Zhu Yu made his move, turning the tide of the battle.

He didn't realize it until he was actually there...

Is her new power really that effective?

After politely declining his subordinates' invitation to sleep on the ground, Chuuya and Adam headed straight for Verlaine's location.

When he found Verlaine, he had just finished talking with Rimbaud and reached a reconciliation, and his face was full of gentle smiles.

Upon meeting his gaze, Verlaine's eyes immediately lit up, but he still nodded reservedly and said, "Brother, you've come."

To be honest, every time Chuuya met Verlaine, he was always in a cold and ruthless state, shouting and killing at others. Suddenly seeing him so gentle and relaxed made Chuuya feel a little uncomfortable.

He barely suppressed the awkwardness welling up inside him and deliberately asked with a stern face, "Have your thoughts changed? Is it war, or...?"

The other party is a transcendent being; it would be best not to offend them, but if they insist on making an enemy of the Port Mafia, then they must be killed at all costs...

This was Mori Ōgai's original idea.

He was monitoring everything on the battlefield and naturally noticed Verlaine's change in attitude. Originally, taking advantage of his illness to kill him would have been the wise choice... but suddenly Rimbaud, the Transcendent who had long been "dead," appeared by his side.

A transcendent of the two united fronts?

Let's not say anything more... let's see if we can resolve this peacefully first.

After all, judging from the content of Rimbaud's conversation with Verlaine, the other party probably didn't want to see Chuuya and Verlaine both suffer heavy losses.

Mori Ougai felt his hairline was receding.

Chuuya's words conveyed Mori Ōgai's stance.

"Hmm? Are you referring to taking you away?" Verlaine's gaze was full of tolerance, as if he were looking at an ignorant child. "Of course I... won't give up on this matter."

"Cough cough."

Seeing Chuuya's expression grow colder and the atmosphere become tense, Rimbaud immediately lowered his head and coughed twice, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but carrying a clear warning.

Rimbaud's gaze was sharp; he frowned and glanced at Verlaine, his eyes clearly conveying a single message.

—Paul, didn't we agree to respect Chuuya's opinion?

"...Of course I'd like to hear your opinion."

Verlaine paused for a moment, then silently changed his words.

But the struggle in her eyes still revealed a hint of reluctance.

"..." Chuuya looked at Verlaine suspiciously, "I want to stay in the Port Mafia."

Are you sure you won't take action against the Port Mafia?

It's hard to imagine that Verlaine, who seemed so self-absorbed to him, would suddenly change his mind; it's rather unbelievable.

There is a nine-tenths degree of distrust in him.

"......certainly."

Verlaine reluctantly agreed.

Chuuya stared intently at Verlaine's expression, his brows furrowing slightly, the confusion and wariness in his eyes not yet completely dissipated.

Finally, he slowly exhaled, the sharpness in his eyes fading slightly, but a hint of skepticism and wariness still lingered between his brows.

He quickly conveyed Verlaine's attitude to Mori Ōgai.

"younger sister?"

Verlaine looked up and immediately noticed the person who had come.

"Hello, brother."

"Hello, Rimbaud's wife."

Zhu Yu found Chuuya using the "track" function in her friend list. Unexpectedly, Verlaine and Rimbaud were also there, so she quickly greeted them.

Urgent! The countdown on the control panel is almost over!

"Chuuya!" She circled around Chuuya several times in a panic. "Look at me, look at me!"

"Look how much I've grown up now!"

For a moment, all three people present were stunned into shock.

Verlaine: My dear friend, did I hear something wrong? What did your sister call you?

Rimbaud: Looking closely now, I do seem to have suddenly grown several years older? Is it because my internal abilities are out of balance? But... why are you calling me that again? Paul might overthink it if he hears that...

Chuuya: [Kuko] How did she get so tall! Damn it... that damn mackerel is going to laugh at me again. No, none of that matters. [Kuko] She's also an experimental subject. Is there something wrong with her body?

Chuuya, realizing that she might have a health problem, hurriedly grabbed her wrist and asked with concern, "How are you feeling right now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, Chuuya."

To prove her point, Zhu Yu jumped around a few times and even lifted up Chuuya, Verlaine, and Rimbaud in turn, demonstrating with her actions that what she said was true.

The three people, caught off guard and suddenly lifted and then put down, were speechless.

Not only did she not receive the amazed looks she had expected, but she also repeatedly ran into obstacles, which made Zhu Yu anxious.

"Chuuya, now I am truly yours..."

——【Correction Completed】

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the girl, who was not short to begin with, visibly shrank in height. Her face, which had already matured, regained a slight baby fat. Surprisingly, her clothes changed with her body without becoming loose and dragging on the ground.

The miracle of time reversal unfolds here.

--"elder sister."

That sentence is finally finished, but unfortunately...

Players missed a golden opportunity.

Zhu Yu stared at the countdown to zero, her face ashen.

Actually, compared to Zhu Yu's grown-up appearance, the one in front of me, still carrying a hint of childishness, is the one that Chuuya is more familiar with.

Chuuya's expression froze for a full three seconds, but he was still amused by the other party's obvious disappointment and tried hard to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his face away, his eyes becoming unfocused.

"So... in the end, it's still the younger sister."

Ahem, if Verlaine is right, given that he's older than her...

She really is my younger sister.

Chapter 159 Continue

"But why did it change back?" Chuuya tried to keep his thoughts from wandering and asked seriously, "Will this have any impact?"

"Because it's time." Zhu Yu snapped out of her reverie, but still wasn't in high spirits. "The impact is huge..."

Chuuya immediately tensed up, his brows furrowing.

"I've gotten shorter again!"

Unscrupulous game developers, please restore the players' height information!

Chuuya: "......"

He was momentarily speechless, so he deliberately poked Zhu Yu's forehead with a stern face to tell her not to breathe so heavily when she speaks in the future.

The group pressed Zhu Yu for more questions, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no problems.

Just then, a flash of golden light streaked across the sky and slowly rose into the air.

Rimbaud looked closely and saw the signal flare explode in the air, turning into fine metal fragments that fell to the ground.

The orientation is exactly...

Directly above them!

In a flash, he recognized it—the falling debris was a special metal that could make Verlaine lose control; someone wanted to force Verlaine to go berserk and release the "door"!

Rimbaud's expression froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"
