I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

Kurumi, instantly understanding, clenched her fists tightly, then, realizing what was happening, dejectedly slammed her fists to the ground.

Damn it, she's still a virgin, how come she understood it so quickly?

It's all that bastard, Lezi Shen's fault.

"In short, I can guarantee that my sister Matou Kurumi's consciousness was asleep all night yesterday."

Rose raised his hand meaningfully to assure her, then looked at Kurumi with a smile: "So, Kurumi-chan, do you have a solution? That assassin is very troublesome, and none of the Archers are as simple as you think."

Of course I know it's not simple.

That Red A was probably just pretending to be stupid; he might not have even used his full strength when besieging Lezi Shen before, and the others are probably similar.

The straightforward Lancer and Saber just kept working hard.

but.....

Kurumi sighed. What could she do?

She was cornered at the time, so... why did that person have to target her first?

She's only been in this world for a few days, she hasn't offended anyone, has she?

at last.

The girl raised her head and looked at Rother seriously: "So what about you, the great god Sama? Or His Majesty the Lord of Cinder? Who exactly are you?"

What exactly does the concept of eternal reincarnation and the homeland that can never be returned to refer to?

"Hey, you believed that?"

Rother gasped, exclaiming in surprise, "No way, San San, you actually believe that?"

He stroked his chin and leaned closer, asking suspiciously, "Was San San a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer before?"

Kurumi Tokisaki blushed and retorted, "It's clearly you who's unreliable, giving the impression that anyone could be anyone."

Oh no, they guessed my embarrassing past...

"Wait, I remember San San had a clone before..."

Rosser seemed to be thinking.

"Never mind, I won't ask anymore. Can you tell me about what's happened to you these past few years?"

Kurumi Tokisaki immediately changed the subject, her expression turning serious: "You can probably tell from your words, right? I was the one who signed the contract with you!"

"Bang~"

Faint noises could be heard coming from inside the room.

But neither of them paid any attention to the eye contact.

Quiet.

for a long time.

Rother lazily sat back down and petted Saber like a cat: "You figured it out, didn't you?"

Kurumi herself was stunned.

Is it true?

She tried to travel back in time to World War V, but ended up going to the earlier period of World War IV instead...

In other words, is that so-called game world actually the future of this world?

"No, it's just one of the future possibilities."

Rosser spread his hands: "Don't you know that time is an illusion? The so-called time system is actually giving this concept a concrete anchor point, that is, 'now'."

Only with the "present" can we distinguish between the past and the future.

Since it's in the past, it's naturally a fixed phenomenon...

He flicked his finger, scattering a stream of brilliant, silvery light that rippled down like a shimmering brook.

I don't even want to act anymore.

Kurumi thought to herself.

I was just bluffing, saying that everyone knows I can't do magic.

"The end of this river is the present, the places it has flowed through are the past, and where it may flow in the future is the future!"

Therefore, the past cannot be changed, the future is uncertain, and it holds countless possibilities.

Rosser's words were casual.

Countless illusory tributaries instantly appeared in the living room, each a possibility of the future, spreading infinitely, layer upon layer, even giving people a strange sense of reality, as if it were truly a long river of time.

Beautiful and lofty.

Not to mention from the perspective of the viewpoint.

Even after secretly tasting the glowing dish, Mai Sakurajima, who was squatting to the side watching the show, was drawn to it.

"So-called past vision is nothing more than seeing the trajectory of the past, and so-called future vision is nothing more than seeing a certain tributary. There's nothing special about it."

Rosser downplayed it.

But from the perspective of both Earthlings and Mai Sakurajima, they kept shaking their heads.

No, no, no, this is already very special, very outrageous.

"The possibilities of the future are infinite, while human power is finite. Therefore, even the eyes of the Hero King, who is a Caster-class hero with Grand rank qualifications, can only see a very small part of the future."

The young man smiled and reached out his hand, gently grasping it as if he had grasped the future: "A true strong person is one who makes the future collapse in the direction they desire, shaping it into the future they want."

Then, his next sentence made everyone tense.

"So here's the question: Is it possible to change the past, which is something humans often imagine—that is, to make a river that has flowed through the past change its course at a certain point in the past to make up for regrets? The answer is... yes, it is possible."

Rosser snapped his fingers.

The pale silver light that seemed to materialize the passage of time in the void then began to change course at a past point, flowing out into another shimmering channel.

It seemed as if history had been altered, but...

Kurumi stared blankly at the original riverbed, which had lost its silvery flow but still bore traces of a dried-up riverbed.

"Impossible, why would this be...."

she murmured.

"...The so-called change of history is nothing but self-deception and the creation of a new timeline. What has happened has already happened; it is nothing more than the destruction of the existing timeline and the birth of a new one."

Rosser said softly, "What you saw, what you experienced, that ruin, that dead world, is the altered remains."

"Congratulations, oh my god, the world may have been saved."

He clapped softly.

The Earthlings in the scene were horrified.

Does this mean they saw their origins?

And... is the so-called game really just the real world, merely the remnants of past world lines?

Kurumi Tokisaki sat there blankly, her eyes wide open, tears streaming down her face.

Her long-held beliefs were shattered, her convictions denied...

Rosser even leaned closer and whispered, "Hey, San San, I can sense those broken causal threads on your body. It's an astonishing number. Eight hundred? Three thousand? Or ten thousand?"

Killing so many people, bearing so much sin, tsk, it's truly terrifying. Is San San thinking that since history will eventually reset, everything will be as if it never happened?

He asked, puzzled.

Kurumi Tokisaki shuddered, her pupils contracting violently.

These words were like needles, easily prying open her hard shell and piercing her soft, encased heart.

Yes.

Kurumi Tokisaki, hailed as the most ferocious and evil spirit in history, desires not destruction, but redemption.

Even if she bears the deepest sins, she will change the past and achieve a kind of perfection where "there have never been elves and tragedies before".

Let the deaths of those who died because of the fairy, including the deaths of those she killed, become a redemption that never happened!

But Rother mercilessly exposed her.

To put it bluntly: I'm sorry, what's done is done. Changing the past is just creating a new timeline.

You kill people to gain spiritual power to change the past and make these people seem like they never died?

Dream on!

He also mastered the Time System, and even the Source of the Time System, so he definitely has the right to speak on this matter.

Changing the past is possible; otherwise, Goetia wouldn't be stupid.

But to make something disappear is just a pipe dream. What's dead is dead. Unless you can kick the root of the problem, punch the universe, and become an illogical being, you might as well give up and go to sleep.

What Goetia did was essentially create something new...

All of humanity in the past is actually in the Root, recorded in the Throne of Heroes.

The modification only involved a single worldline, and a single planet within that worldline...

In short, Kurumi's idea is far more outrageous than Goetia's; essentially, it means she wants to alter even the Root Vortex, making things appear as if they never happened.

She had never killed anyone, and none of this had ever happened.

That's pretty impressive, no wonder she's his favorite Kurumi.

"Well, that makes sense. With the ability to control time and cheat like that, it's only natural to think that way."

Rose looked at Kurumi with doting eyes, his tone light and casual, yet ruthlessly stabbing at Kurumi's heart one cut at a time.

Kurumi looked like a pitiful little thing in a storm, blankly covering her head and babbling incoherently.

The shattering of beliefs.

The principle of "persistence is undermined from the root" has been broken down.

I felt somewhat dazed, and began to ponder the meaning of life, the mysteries of the universe, the essence of the world, and the existence of humanity...

From the perspective of.

Many people trembled in fear. Was this a god? His finishing blow was too professional.

suddenly...

"Hakurei-kun, you're bullying Kurumi again!"

boom.

He tapped the boy on the head. Yukinoshita, who had just taken a shower, still had a few drops of moisture in her hair. Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, delicate and smooth, and so soft that it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. No wonder she was a magician, such an extraordinary species.

At this moment, he stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Rosser with displeasure.

This is getting more and more outrageous. Although I don't know what happened, it's probably another instance of questioning someone's inner thoughts and undermining their resolve.

Then she found enjoyment in it, for example, she was tormented repeatedly since the fourth grade of elementary school.

Seriously, why did I develop such a perverse sense of humor?

"嘁~"

The boy pouted.

"What's wrong with enjoying life while you can? A lifeless existence will decay with time, you know..."

"Full of fallacies."

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

Under the snow, he drove the road with ease, unmoved by any advice or persuasion.

She gently patted Kurumi's shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't listen to this guy's talk-no-jutsu... You can think of it as the devil's seduction. In short, he only tells half the truth. Just figure out what you really want!"

Having completely different experiences, Chise was more sensitive to being tormented by a certain scoundrel in various ways than Pochi.

I sensed early on that Kurumi was suppressing something inside; her outward charm, madness, or smile were all just appearances.

The real her... is probably a very pitiful person.
