Miss Kaguya wants me to marry into her family

Shiina Mashiro returned to her studio. From time to time, people came to visit her studio. The girl sat there quietly painting, with published comic books beside her.

After a long time, she stopped painting. On the paper, a young man was sitting under a tree in the yard of a villa. Sporadic sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves and fell on the page of the book the boy was reading.

Shiina Mashiro held the paintbrush in a daze, staring at the picture, not knowing what to do next.

In the voice actor recording studio, Nanami Aoyama finished the dubbing of the script with great emotion. The colleagues around her applauded the girl and praised her. Nanami Aoyama smiled and bowed to express her gratitude, with confidence on her face.

When the crowd dispersed, she sat alone in the recording studio, and suddenly felt a little melancholy. This should have been a time to share joy with others, but she didn't have anyone like that...

At the work release conference, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat at a table, in front of her was a long line of people waiting for her autograph. She looked at these expectant faces, but suddenly she felt dazed;

She moved her gaze to the seat next to her, and suddenly remembered that there was a boy who once sat next to her, but where did he go now?

In the amusement park, Sento Isuzu stood there somewhat dazedly, looking at the crowd of tourists below;

In the shallow sea, the two sisters Nanaka Furukawa and Chisa Furukawa stopped on the beach. The ocean was still breathtakingly beautiful, but they always felt that something was missing. The beautiful seabed seemed to have become a little boring because of the lack of something.

After filming a commercial, Mai Sakurajima stared into the distance in silence, holding the beverage she endorsed, she opened the lid but did not drink it;

Unconsciously, a few tears fell from her eyes...

There were some truths that she didn't dare to think about.

In the luxurious mansion, Kaguya Shinomiya stood by the window with her black hair draped over her shoulders. She stared blankly outside the house. Hayasaka Ai walked closer to her. She was no longer Kaguya's personal maid, but still her best friend.

Hayasaka Ai looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and saw a transfer report in the latter's hand;

She knew that Kaguya wanted to find someone, but even with the power of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, she couldn't find out where that person was...

Hayasaka Ai covered her heart, a heart-wrenching feeling reverberating;

She remembered that the boy once said that if he disappeared one day, there was no need to care too much, because that was a fate he had already prepared for.

Hayasaka Ai didn't dare to think about what kind of fate that would be...

I just know that my heart is in so much pain that I don't know what to do...

The boy was gone;

Nothing seemed to have changed;

It turns out that everything has changed.

……

On the roof of the villa, a black cat squatted facing the artificial lake in front;

The black cat Anze hasn't walked for more than a month. Until night falls again, it looks up at the starry sky, thinking about going to follow its owner's footsteps.

However, it didn't know what to do or even what was happening.

The master is always like this, never discussing anything with others, always bearing the burden alone silently without saying a word.

Anze lowered his head, feeling sad;

It understood, because the master could only choose one person to carry it, and he didn't even have anyone else who could go with him.

He suffered all his life.

It wants to do something;

But, what else can I do?

The master has solved all the problems, but now the only one missing is himself!

As night fell, the black cat felt more and more sad.

It is sad, sad that it knows some things but is powerless to do anything, sad that it doesn't know many things but has no way of knowing, sad that it wants to do some things but has no way of knowing.

The black cat looked towards the courtyard with a look of sadness;

The person who could take care of it tenderly, the person who once gave it companionship and made it no longer lonely, is no longer here.

The night was slightly cool, with invisible ripples spreading. The black cat gradually blended into the night...

hum~~~

An Ze stood up silently, with an incomparable force surging in his body. Just by simply stretching his body, the surrounding space made a faint tremor!

"You... broke through?"

An unbelievable voice came from a different space, and the figure of the evil demon queen Caroline emerged, looking at the black cat in shock;

The power fluctuations from the latter that frightened her revealed that this cat had reached a level that was beyond her reach - the emperor level!

An Ze remained silent, not showing any joy, but instead a look of doubt.

After a moment, it opened its mouth and spit out a shining bead.

"Fairy spirit!"

Caroline exclaimed in surprise and looked at the bead in front of the black cat with surprise. This was something that was rumored to be coveted by countless demons!

There was an even stronger look of doubt in the black cat's emerald eyes. Due to the unexpected breakthrough, its strength jumped from ordinary king level to emperor level, and it thus sensed the unusual fluctuations in its body.

It had obtained the spirit of the demon when it was young. It only knew that this thing was extraordinary and was coveted by countless demons, but it did not know its essence. Even its master could not find out the truth!

There seems to be no specific record about this thing.

Now that it has reached the emperor level, an unexpected situation has occurred.

"My memory seems to be..."

It closed its eyes and began to explore carefully. In its mind, it seemed as if there was a picture that it had never noticed before...

Finally, it opened its eyes, but fell into silence.

"W-what's wrong with you?"

The evil demon queen Caroline looked at the black cat nervously. She was extremely disappointed and nervous at this moment, because her life and death were actually controlled by a cat...

The black cat remained silent, but a deep sadness was revealed in his eyes:

"I just remembered some things and understood some secrets..."

It released its mental power and touched the fairy's soul, which suddenly became brighter and lit up in the night sky. It quickly enlarged and became a large translucent virtual ball of light.

"This is!!"

The evil demon queen couldn't help but cry out in shock. She widened her eyes and looked at the figure of a young man quietly floating in the ball of light!

The black cat looked at the boy in the light ball with great sadness, and murmured: "Master... you have kept it a secret from me."

"How could he be inside this demon spirit...what's going on..."

"Because this is the body left by the master."

An Ze said in a sorrowful voice: "I remember everything now. Decades ago, when I was young, I was adopted by my master. But I woke up by chance, and watched my master extract my soul with my own eyes!"

"What!? Is he crazy..." Caroline said in disbelief.

"To realize his plan, he must do this..."

The black cat has remembered everything. It saw with its own eyes that Anzhe extracted his soul, sealed his body into the fairy spirit, and gave it to the fairy clan for safekeeping. This was the secret that the owner wanted to keep forever!

However, Anzhe at that time had traveled through time and space, so he naturally knew that the spirit of the fairy would eventually fall into the hands of the black cat Anze!

Therefore, he secretly took action and ruthlessly sealed Anze's memory. At the same time, the power of the fairy soul made it wander outside for decades without dying!

Black Cat would never have thought that the fairy soul he had been guarding actually contained Anzhe's physical body!

Anzhe in the two time periods have actually always been together!

In the Nibelungen, Anzhe's future self did not tell the current Anzhe about this, because as long as the black cat did not find out, this matter would be accompanied by the sacrifice of the soul and no one would ever know about it.

After listening to Black Cat's explanation, Caroline finally understood why the Fairy Soul was something that would drive all the demons crazy. It turned out that the body of the peerless demon king was sealed inside...

"Is it worth doing this..." She couldn't help but say softly.

Anze was extremely sad, as he understood why Anzhe made that choice.

It reminded me of a sentence from the past:

"One day, you will love someone else more than yourself."

The black cat said softly, closing his eyes sadly, "My silly master..."

As if it was destined by heaven, Anze's strength improved day by day with the nourishment of the fairy spirit. It was actually because of the long-term emotional fluctuations during this period that he broke through and successfully broke through the seal set by Anzhe.

"So... is this his final ending..."

Caroline sighed softly, and looked at the figure in the illusory ball of light with a complicated expression;

The young man inside looked as peaceful and calm as always;

It was this guy who silently shouldered everything. After everything was settled, he hid all his fame and fortune, and just found a place where no one would ever know about it, and died quietly...

"Yes, this is his end, the end is [No One Knows]

Isn’t it ridiculous that the only ones who know what you did are a cat that can’t talk to humans and a monster that can’t be seen by humans!

You saved the world!!"

As he said this, Anze's expression was filled with sadness...

Caroline was speechless for a long time. Even though she was an enemy, she couldn't help but feel complicated.

After a moment of silence, she seemed to remember something and whispered:

"The legendary Demon King is immortal and can even extend the lifespan of others. If he can do this with the power of the soul, doesn't he have a backup plan?"

"Hmm? You mean..." An Ze was stunned for a moment, and looked at An Zhe in the light ball as if he had thought of something.

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and An Ze stepped forward, entered the fairy's soul, and came to An Zhe.

When its mental power swept over, it only felt that everything about the physical body in front of it was in a state of stagnation, as if it was in a state that even time and space could not affect.

The black cat's eyes suddenly lit up, and it felt an extremely faint fluctuation!

Is it the fluctuation of the residual soul! ?

Overjoyed, the black cat immediately sensed carefully and finally confirmed the situation!

"A trace of the master's remaining soul is unconsciously absorbing some kind of power to nourish his soul again!"

"……real?"

Caroline was surprised. Could she be revived by relying on a trace of her remaining soul?

Is it really possible to do such an incredible thing?

The black cat's eyes darkened at this time, "It's true, but this time... is too long, maybe so long that it's unimaginable... This is not the master's backup plan, and he probably wouldn't have thought that such a situation would occur."

At this point, An Ze was suddenly stunned. He suddenly recognized the source of the power that An Zhe's residual soul was absorbing!

——Endless dark domain!

That place... is a void where endless energy rages, where there is no concept of time or space!

This discovery immediately surprised it...

Its expression couldn't help but hesitate. It stared at the boy's body for a long time. Finally, it silently put away the demon's soul, and its expression became incomparably firm!

"Queen of the Evil Demons, I would like to ask you to help me find someone to pass on a message. After completing this task, you will be free." An Ze said seriously.

"……what you up to?"

An Ze took a deep breath and said firmly: "I want to enter the [Endless Dark Realm] and let the master's residual soul absorb the energy there and revive again!"

Caroline: “……!!”

As if she had heard something horrifying, the Demon Queen exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Any living being that enters there will definitely be lost!"

"So I'm asking you to find a girl. Only she has a chance to find me when I'm lost and bring me back from the endless dark realm..."

An Ze paused for a moment before continuing, "This is the only chance to save the master!"

"Who could possibly enter the endless dark realm and not get lost?!" Caroline asked doubtfully.

"Shana."

An Ze said confidently: "She would indeed get lost before, but... now it's different. The knife in her hand has merged with a trace of the owner's soul because it killed the owner. No matter how far away it is, the knife can sense the location of this world."

The demon queen fell silent. She stared at the black cat in front of her and said, "If she can't find you, you will never be able to come back, and your master will never wake up."

"No, she will definitely find me. She will definitely come to save her master." The black cat was extremely confident.

"...Okay, I promise you, I will pass on the message and then...tell her everything."
