In the background of certain events, there are always reasons for people to be blamed, and for those who seek to find the truth, they must endure a lot of pain!

A year is such a long period of time, and instead of finding answers, I now find myself enduring what seems like an infinite stretch of time.

"Where am I?"

I always feel like something is following me from behind, yet there is nothing around me scary enough to startle me.

Sunflowers flourish around me, their petals gently brushing against my body.

"I am truly in agony, what will be the outcome?"

Gentle sunlight and incredibly fresh air surround me, yet they give off an inexplicable oppressive feeling, making me feel weak and paralyzed, as if taking another step forward might lead to dreadful consequences!

"Am...I in a dream?"

"Wake up, Lord of Hell..."

A piercing cold pierces through my body to the core, in that moment, it feels as if the air itself has stopped.

...

"No, I think you should yield!"

Natasha's eyes as deep and clear as the sea instantly made Xinya feel a bit slackened, she made Xinya instantly feel somewhat slackened, as if...

"As if I would spare them."

"Wait, I'm talking to you!"

Xinya's tone was calm as she spoke, no amount of coaxing from Natasha would sway her, instead she firmly assured her.

"These Western Alliance people, they won't escape the justice dealt by our fists today!"

With that, Xinya's hair seemed to catch fire, and she marched straight up to those people.

"Hey--!"

...

In a restaurant in a certain part of the Imperial Capital, there was a cold and damp basement where a fair-haired, blue-eyed woman was berating a young man, chained to the wall, with an extremely magnetic voice.

"The Allied Forces never surrender, we will eventually exterminate you damned beasts, the descendants of Nazis!"

"Uh, friend, I believe you have no intention of having a civilized conversation with us, do you?"

The woman slightly undid the collar of her military uniform, revealing the slightly pale skin below, causing the guy to involuntarily swallow, but he managed to keep his composure.

"Stop these fancy tricks, my endurance is beyond your imagination - die, Nazi scum!"

"Well, this young man is quite ruthless with his words..."

Snap!

The lady, who moments ago was enchanting, immediately turned into a stern and intimidating killer.

Even the beautiful and melodious voice of the young girl instantly changed, becoming a complete demoness.

"If you don't want the person waking you up tomorrow morning to be God, then tell me now, where are those people?!"

The woman ripped off her military cap, clearly in a terrible mood, almost tearing at the man's clothes as she roared.

But her actions were clearly ineffective, so she needed to keep her cool!

"Hey, I was just thinking, was our approach a bit foolish?"

"Boss, I think you've hit the nail on the head, we shouldn't waste our time on a fool."

The soldier closest to the woman responded very quickly, providing an answer that made her smile contentedly.

She looked favorably upon his reply and reached out to pat his shoulder approvingly.

"Your answer is excellent. After we win the war, you will definitely get one third of the credit in my achievement!"

"Thank you, sir."

After a brief commendation, the captured Alliance soldier seemed a bit impatient.

"Let me remind you once again, send this guy to the construction site and let him enjoy his life there."

"Oh, sir, this seems like an unnecessary step. I think someone who is not afraid of death should have better options, and it would also be safer for us..."

"You don't understand."

Impatiently, she dropped the military cap in her hand and criticized the soldier who had just spoken.

"If something happens to him here, I cannot afford that blame. But if you send him to the concentration camp, it's different. Off you go!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

"Waa… my lady, spare us, please!"

The two who had insulted Xinai at the beginning were instantly beaten to a pulp, but the one who acted was not Xinai, but...

"Hey, ladies, causing trouble everywhere, Dad will have a headache!"

"..."

"What's wrong, dazzled by my handsome appearance?"

Xinai and Natasha looked at the person named Yuanhui at the same time, grinned at each other, and said in unison.

"Disgusting!"

"Hey hey, why am I getting blamed when I'm helping you out?"

Yuanhui brushed off the dust (actually a lot of disgust) on his sleeve, feeling bored and disgusted with these no longer beautiful performances.

Perhaps the word 'brilliant' could be used...

"I guess, your thoughts are not the same as those of normal people, right?"

"..."

"It shouldn’t be. This guy can't even speak a complete sentence clearly. It's a waste of time trying to reason with him!"

As too much time had already been wasted, it was best to have a little fun. However, developing this kind of relationship over something trivial... it made them feel embarrassed about their own standards.

Yuanhui raised an eyebrow helplessly.

“Oh dear, I intended to be a hero to rescue you, but who would have thought I would be misunderstood like this? It hurts my heart..."

"..."

This time it was Xinai and the others who were speechless, after all, they were facing a more disgusting man.

After his lament, he disappeared into thin air in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hey, that guy actually left after beating someone. What do we do now?"

With a puzzled expression, Natasha asked Xinai.

"Ugh, I don't want to be involved with someone like you. I just want to go back and take a hot bath, then have some fruit juice!"

"Don't blame me, that guy seems to look very similar to a senior friend. If that's the case, let him deal with the rest himself, or else I won't be able to handle it."

Xinai shrugged, then grabbed Natasha's arm and ran towards the crowd.

As they ran away, they shouted back.

"Hey hey, it's not us who will deal with this stupid couple!"

...

When will the loneliness and indifference of life be relieved?

Even if it's just once, I want to seek the answer that I have lost.

Why did the world get destroyed in the first place?

And what kind of stupid actions did the ones who caused the destruction do to lead to thinking about destroying the world?

"We will be leaving now. I will convey everyone's will to the Archangel, so please rest assured, everyone."

Chris waved goodbye to Yukari and then left Elena with Eliza.

"Well~ well, we do need a strong camp so we can stand up to Edward." Chiyori strongly agreed with Yukari's idea, even though they had both left and now it was too late to disagree.

"I didn't sleep well at all last night, I must make up for it somehow today."

"Why didn't you get a good night's sleep last night?"

Yukari teased me with a smirk.

"So, are you saying I can sleep now?"

I felt really deprived after not sleeping all night. Can you actually sleep on duty?

"Yeah, it's not like the captain didn't ask you to sleep. Whose fault is it?"

Even Ren, who had been silent, pitched in to blame me.

"If you had fallen asleep, it wouldn't be me on duty tonight."

"Nonsense, I don't want to stay up all night again tonight!"

That night...

"Achoo!"

I found myself sleeping outside under the eaves at night, as if I'd been banned from the warm indoors!

"Why..."

I grumbled bitterly about Yukari's decision.

"She shamelessly made me do the night shift the next day without even a day's break!"

What made me even more angry was that Yukari had enthusiastically hoped I would do the night shift again!

They truly are a bunch of hopeless people...

But if I think about it carefully, maybe I'm the one who's wrong?

If I hadn't caused so much trouble, maybe no one would be in danger.

And if no one was in danger, we probably wouldn't have had to move to this rundown old school building.

"It's really annoying, but can't I handle one week of duty?"

Besides, after a week, we superhumans should still be able to handle it, right?

...

On the third night, I came home very late, and they hadn't even left me any dinner, but I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't complain much.

"Hey, if you don't go on duty soon, your sister will blame you!"

As soon as I got home, I encountered Chiyori, who was drunk, wearing only a black nightgown, lying in the corridor and talking to me.

"I can't drink anymore, Hagrid... hic!"

"Why did you drink so much?"

I rubbed my head in frustration and then lifted Chiyori, who reeked of alcohol, onto my shoulders, scolding her in disgust.

"Drinking alone so late again?"

"... sob, no way!"

"..."

Even now, she was lying, but the alcohol scent all over her had already revealed the truth to me. She was really funny!

In the living room on the ground floor, the TV screen was still flashing with dazzling silver light. So, I temporarily left Chiyori on the sofa and went to turn off the power switch.

"Alright, now... huh?"

As I walked towards the TV and turned around, Chiyori was already sound asleep on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving.

Oh my, besides the night shift, now I had the high-level task of waking up a drunkard. I was really fed up with it all!

"Hey, if you want to sleep, go back to your own room!"

"No! No!"

"You're already an adult, can you stop being so capricious?"

"Well, actually... *hiccup*"

Chiyori told me the whole story behind everything...
