The brain works sluggishly, trying to piece together the fragments of what happened before the coma.
After exhausting everything to repair the city and resurrect the dead, he was extremely weak, as if his very soul had been drained. Before he completely fell into darkness, a blurry figure seemed to approach him. It was a girl.
So you were picked up?
This realization brought him a slight sense of relief, but it was quickly replaced by intense vigilance.
He tried to mobilize his magic, but his body was completely empty, unable to even stir up a ripple. The power of the Giant of Light was as dormant as if it had never existed.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness enveloped him, and even turning his neck made him dizzy.
He lifted the soft, fluffy blanket covering him; its pale blue color and simple geometric pattern were definitely girly.
He struggled to sit up and looked around. The room wasn't large, but it was exceptionally tidy, even meticulously organized.
The desk is by the window, with neatly arranged textbooks and several literary classics, and a simple desk lamp.
The wardrobe door was closed, and next to it was a small bookshelf with books neatly arranged in categories.
On the low cabinet against the wall sits an adorable rabbit doll and a vibrant potted green ivy.
The entire space exudes a tranquil, self-disciplined, and girlish atmosphere.
"It really is a girl's room."
Genichi Hanyu muttered to himself, a hint of understanding mixed with helplessness.
He threw back the covers, and when his feet touched the cold floor, a wave of unsteadiness made him sway, forcing him to grab the edge of the bed to steady himself.
This body is like a rag doll that has been hollowed out and forcibly reassembled.
He took a deep breath to suppress the surging dizziness and, supporting himself against the wall, slowly moved to the tightly closed door.
Grasp the cold metal doorknob and gently turn and push it open.
Outside the door is a small entryway connecting the kitchen and the living room.
Almost simultaneously, the door to the kitchen across the street was also opened.
Eyes facing each other.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
A young girl was standing at the kitchen doorway.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and light gray sweatpants, and had a slender figure. Her long, smooth brown hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands falling beside her fair cheeks.
Her eyes were clear and bright, and at that moment they held a hint of surprise, which quickly turned into a clear expression of relief.
"you're awake!"
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, carrying a natural gentleness.
She walked over quickly, holding a glass of water in her hand.
"How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? You've been asleep for almost a whole day, I'm a little worried."
Looking at the beautiful yet concerned face before him, the name Shiina Mahiru instantly popped into Genichi Hanyu's mind.
At school, she was known as the "Angel," excelling academically, possessing a gentle personality, and being an expert in housework—the object of countless boys' affections.
Unexpectedly, she picked me up.
"You saved me?"
Genichi Hanyu's voice was still hoarse as he leaned against the door frame, trying to keep his balance.
Her gaze swept over Mahiru's slender arms, and it was hard to imagine how she had managed to bring back a man who was much taller than her.
Shiina Mahiru shook her head slightly and handed him the water glass in her hand: "It's not a matter of saving you, it's just that yesterday evening, I happened to be shopping at a nearby supermarket and saw you..."
She paused, as if recalling the scene, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Your face was as white as paper, your breathing was weak, and we couldn't wake you up no matter what we did. You looked very bad."
Genichi Hanyu took the water glass, and the cool glass surface gave his weak fingertips a tingling sensation.
He took a big gulp, and the sweet water moistened his parched throat, relieving the discomfort slightly.
He put down his cup, looked directly at Mahiru, and said in a serious and admonishing tone, "Shiina-kun, thank you for your kindness. However, next time you encounter a similar situation..."
He paused, then emphasized, "I think you'd better call an ambulance and take him to the hospital, instead of bringing a strange, unknown adult male back to your home where you live alone."
His words were blunt and almost cold: "This is too dangerous. What if the other person is a bad guy, or has any ill intentions after waking up? You're a girl, and you might not even have time to call for help. It will be too late to regret it then."
This was a realistic and rational judgment; he didn't want to put this kind girl in potential danger because of his own situation.

Shiina Mahiru listened quietly, without any sign of offense or fear on her face.
Her clear eyes met Genichi Hanyu's serious gaze, unwavering yet filled with a strange certainty.
"You're not a bad person."
Her voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear, carrying an undeniable certainty.
Genichi Hanyu was slightly taken aback.
His gaze passed over him, as if piercing through the wall to see a scene further away, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible shock and awe: "I saw it all."
"The aftershocks of their battle—the enormous giant of light in silver, red, and purple, and the pure white mechanical monster—destroyed the streets, then repaired the buildings and resurrected the dead, before finally running out of energy and turning back into humans."
Her gaze refocused on Genichi Hanyu's pale face, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "You're the one who brought those dead people back, aren't you?"
She took a deep breath and gave the most crucial reason, "It must have taken a huge price for you to be that weak."
Should I take you to the hospital?
Shiina Mahiru shook her head, her tone tinged with lingering fear and determination. "I wouldn't dare, Yuzuru-kun, or should I call you that giant? Your existence is too special. What if some organization discovers your secret and takes you away for research?"
Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes; clearly, the possibility terrified her.
"So I had no choice but to bring you back. At least here, you're safe for now."
She looked up at him, her eyes honest and firm.
"I trust my judgment, and I also believe that the person who fought to the death to protect everyone will not hurt me."
Genichi Hanyu remained silent.
He never expected that this seemingly weak angel would not only witness the latter half of the battle, but also clearly see him exhausting his power to resurrect the dead, and make such a calm and bold decision.
Her trust was not based on ignorant naivety, but on the shock of seeing it with her own eyes.
This trust, heavy as it was, weighed on his already weary heart, yet it also brought a touch of indescribable warmth.
In this unfamiliar, fragrant little house, a regular high school girl saw through his deepest secret and offered him shelter.
Although it wasn't necessary, Genichi Hanyu couldn't bear to reject a girl's feelings.
The impact of 131's disappearance.
The image of Genichi Hanyu transforming into a rain of light and disappearing into the city skyline was like a cold needle piercing Yukino Yukinoshita's heart.
"Xianyi!"
She gasped in shock, her fingertips slamming heavily onto the cold control panel, leaving a shallow dent.
The massive energy signal representing Tiga on the screen completely disappeared, leaving only the faint reaction of Galactron's remains and a chaotic city model.
Yukino's breathing became rapid instantly, and an unprecedented panic gripped her.
She knows Genichi Hanyu too well!
That deep red, almost unblinking timer, the price paid for forcibly repairing the city and resurrecting the dead, was an overdraft that exceeded all limits!
Where is he now?
"Immediately locate the last known coordinates, retrieve all available surveillance footage from the surrounding area, deploy all drones, and have the ground search team search inch by inch!"
She whirled around and yelled into the communication channel, "Connect me to his private line! Now! Immediately!"
The jarring busy signal became the main theme in the command room.
Once, twice, ten times...
Genichi Hanyu's special communicator, which he never parted with, remained unreachable.
This unusual situation plunged Yang Nai's heart into despair.
Either the communicator is completely destroyed, or he doesn't even have the meager magic to keep it running!
"Damn it! Damn Gaia! Damn monster!"
Yukinoshita grabbed her hair in frustration, ruining her carefully styled look.
She forced herself to calm down, but her fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Genichi Hanyu absolutely cannot afford to have anything happen to him.
He is the key to maintaining the balance of this world, the sharp sword to deter those greedy tycoons, and the irreplaceable life partner that Yukino Yukinoshita has chosen!
"elder sister?"
A cold voice came from the door.
Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly awakened by Galactron's commotion.
Seeing her sister's unprecedented loss of composure, and the shocking post-battle scene on the screen, her icy, clear eyes instantly turned serious.
"Xuan Yi..."
"They've lost contact."
Yukino's words were concise and to the point, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hoarseness.
"The moment he deactivated his transformation, the signal completely disappeared, and communication was cut off."
Yukino Yukinoshita's face also paled slightly.
She immediately said, "Use all available resources to find him."
Soon, the entire Chaldea and even the higher-ups of Sakura were alarmed.
With Yukino Yukinoshita in command, she mobilized the Yukinoshita family's vast intelligence network and manpower, weaving a giant net that covered the entire area where the incident occurred and its surroundings.
Yukino Yukinoshita, using the information she obtained and her calm analytical skills, attempted to sift through the chaotic information at the scene to find clues.
At the same time, Suoh Yuki, who had received the urgent communication, suddenly had a sharp, knife-like gaze, and his body exuded a low pressure that kept strangers at bay.
She even wanted to go directly to those tycoons for a heart-to-heart talk, but Yukinoshita Haruno forcibly stopped her, as now was not the time to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Erina Nakiri of Totsuki Culinary Academy also utilized the resources of the Nakiri family; their vast food and beverage network and logistics system became another important information gathering network.
However, hope was quickly dashed by reality.
"Report! All public surveillance systems within the target area and a three-kilometer radius were overloaded and destroyed immediately upon the monster's energy impact. The subsequently repaired equipment was not connected to the network for unknown reasons and did not store any video footage from the critical period!"
"Report! Low-altitude drone search found no abnormal signs of life! Ground search teams have searched sewers and vacant buildings but found no trace of the target!"
"Report! No sightings of individuals matching the description have been reported at any of the Nakiri family's restaurants or supplier networks!"
Each cold report struck like a heavy hammer against everyone's heart.
Genichi Hanyu seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The area where he last disappeared seemed to have been erased by an invisible hand, leaving no trace of his existence.
The surveillance cameras were sabotaged in a perfectly timed manner, and after being repaired, they mysteriously went offline again, leaving not a single trace of footage.
Time passed second by second, and the sky outside the window changed from deep blue to pale white, and then gradually brightened.
A whole day and night have passed.
The atmosphere in the command room was as oppressive as solidified lead.
Yukino's eyes were bloodshot, and her tightly pursed lips had lost all color.
Yuki Suoh had her eyes closed, but the chill emanating from her body made the temperature in the command room drop several degrees.
Yukino Yukinoshita continued to quickly browse various data streams, but her fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, showed a slight, almost imperceptible stiffness.
Erina Nakiri's delicate face was full of fatigue and worry, and she didn't touch the exquisite tea and snacks in front of her.
Hope is like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Just when everyone was on the verge of collapse, and even Haruno was about to lose control of Suoh Yuki's impending, destructive anxiety—
