However... he had never experienced spring in such a city before. After all, it was too magical, as if the entire city belonged to them.

If life is going to be this plain and ordinary, and I get to spend it with my sister... what am I even thinking?!

Kyle had told himself this during many nights, but if this is what life is like... who would want to live every day running wild?

Yet Kyle believed that as long as his sister was by his side, he would have the courage to keep going!

To distract Kyle, his sister would occasionally try to chat with him about various useless things.

"Well, in the past, the neighbors used to say if someone wasn't outstanding enough and not considerate, they were talking about me, right?"

"I don't know."

"Haha, if reflecting on the past is as simple as that, then I must be a worthless person, never considering others in anything I do."

"That's not true... Sister, you're not a worthless person."

After a long silence, Kyle finally spoke up, finding a bit of comfort only in moments like this.

"Alright, it's late, we need to stay vigilant at all times. It won't be good if we fall asleep."

Sister lightly pinched the scars on his shoulder, instantly dispelling any drowsiness, but worry quickly crept into Kyle's eyes.

"Sister!" Kyle reached out his hand and softly called out.

"Yes?"

"Sister, I have..."

"Let's stop here!"

Just as Kyle was about to muster up the courage to express his innermost thoughts to his sister, the surrounding space immediately became desolate, with the scene undergoing a complete upheaval.

"Well, now we enter a world where only desires exist."

...

Thinking about something very unpleasant, could it be Liao Xiu who orchestrated the recent ambush on us?

"If that's the case, then I'm the one to blame for this ambush!"

Firstly, Edward's abilities are not enough to control the Evil Entity of top-tier grievances. Even if it's most likely that Dad could enslave some torrential Evil Entities, the one who attacked us was an entity with independent consciousness, whose appearance should be directly related to this sudden downpour.

"Hmph, no wonder Dad could so easily defeat some stronger Imperial troops, turns out he relied on some foul powers to achieve that."

But now I'm heading up the stairs towards the top floor, and the burning noise is getting clearer and clearer.

This place doesn't seem to be a sealed space, but... the underground level!!!

"What is this place?"

I actually have some impression of this world, as if I've seen it somewhere...

"Of course, you've seen it. This is the paradise of the dead, the pain world that you all created... Let's make it simple for you to understand, basically, it's hell!"

"Who's there?"

I still haven't figured out the current situation, especially the girl talking to me. Her voice sounds a lot like Yukari's, but in essence, she sounds much more immature than Yukari.

Ah, the Evil Entities are getting increasingly brutal recently, with even a torrential one possessing an absolute wise body.

"It won't be good if this continues!"

...

"We've hidden for so long just to find an opportunity to strike back, the timing needs to be searched for and waited for slowly."

Chiyori emerged in a light red blouse, only to find Yuanhui outside in the midst of a heated dispute with Ren. So she swiftly redirected the conversation to a more serious topic.

When Yuanhui turned to see her attire, he immediately shifted his gaze to the rain scenery, attempting to divert attention.

Perhaps noticing Yuanhui's uneasy expression, she quickly adopted a playful look and remarked, "Hey, where were you lost? How should I put it... Doesn't my outfit exude femininity?"

Meanwhile...

"...Look at your shameless figure, truly a moving piece of flesh... Ouch!!!"

Ren, angered, approached Chiyori but was met with a severe punch to the head.

"Hmph, next time, organize your thoughts before speaking. In a dorm where neither of us can showcase competence, you should consider your own worth!"

Poor Ren, without competence to help him, engaging in a physical brawl with Chiyori is like a duel between a child and an adult.

The outcome… predictable.

"Good child, off to bed!"

"Okay."

Helpless in matching Chiyori's strength, Ren finally relented.

“Damn it, my warrior ability is completely useless here!” Ren complained before leaving.

...

"Oh? Isn't this a limited-edition chocolate?”

Sister suddenly ran forward with a delighted laugh, picking up the gorgeously packaged chocolate excitedly.

"I wonder how it tastes... Huh?"

As expected, the chocolate had gone bad, even the smell was quite unpleasant, she didn't even want to touch it with her hands.

"What a pity..."

Disheartened, sister discarded the chocolate and gathered some canned goods instead.

Although these could temporarily fill their stomachs, eating them for an extended period would make them sick.

Finally snapping out of it, she realized her body was getting cold. However, Kel felt too embarrassed to bother his sister and continued enduring the cold.

"..."

"Why are you shaking?"

"It's... it's nothing!"

Kel stubbornly denied her words, enduring the cold air to avoid giving her any leverage.

Glancing at her, despite finally having a chance to converse, Kel frowned, huddling up.

"Humph!"

Seemingly out of the blue, sister stealthily hugged him from behind, a warm sensation instantly radiating from her to Kel.

"Uh... Sister?!"

Kel's heart nearly jumped to his throat, wondering why she was doing all this for him?

Before Kel could make a decision in his mind, sister playfully stuck out her tongue and teased him, “Aww, what's wrong with showing a little love to your brother once in a while?”

"L-love?"

"Yeah, seeing you so cold, I'd feel guilty if you catch a cold tomorrow morning!"

"Oh, I see, thank you... Sister."

I see, sorry, my mind is full of disgusting worms!

Thinking about this, Kai felt a slight sense of relief.

Indeed, they were about to reach the easternmost part soon. Previously, they had been evading wild beasts in the city, but the pursuit from the Alliance army was another concern altogether. After all, the Alliance army did not possess the keen sense of smell like the wild beasts.

"Well, sister, why don't you go back to the room first, I'll go find a warm blanket."

"Go and come back quickly. Remember, only search on this floor. If something happens elsewhere, I'll have a headache!"

With that said, Kai moved the wardrobe blocking the door, cautiously slipped through by himself, leaving his sister temporarily behind.

"Now, where should I start looking?"

...

"..."

"I say, is this really a good idea?"

"Is it... well, it seems like this was your idea, right?"

Chiyori calmly got up and walked back, with no intention of looking back.

"Well, we shouldn't rush things now. It's not beneficial to hand Juxi over to him too early."

"Right, I know, so..."

Her hand reaching for the window stiffened, and Chiyori, now trembling, didn't know what to say. After all, this was an organization set up by 'children,' and Chiyori was filled with worry...

Watching Yuanhui fade into the distance, she slowly closed the dormitory window, then turned around and called out,

"Off to bed, be patient!"

The damp and cold weather in the desolate land had turned from cloudy to heavy rain...

"The Queen of the Night?!"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

Yukari dodged the opponent's attacks while inquiring about the owner of the voice.

"Hehehe, your blow back then was too heavy. I'm still in pain up to now!"

With that, the shadow touched the still unhealed blood-red wound on his shoulder and condensed the released black light into countless unclear arrows.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before long, a new wound appeared on Yukari's shoulder due to the dense arrows.

"What do you aim to achieve by tying us up? To kill..."

"Tsk, killing is a trait only humans have. If you hadn't acted first, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."

"As long as you're happy!"

With that, Yukari put away her ompetence sickle. She found this strange individual not worth her interest, but... there was something about this person that irked Yukari, always being annoyingly persistent.

"Hey, release them all, and we'll call it even between us?"

"...Hehe, can't do that. I'm expecting an important visitor. Could the Queen wait by the riverside in solitude? Anyway, I'll hand the people over to you."

After giving so many instructions unilaterally, she lost interest.

"Alright, I'll give you half an hour."

...

"Haha, what kind of attire is this?"

Chiyori scrutinized Yuanhui in the dining room early in the morning, but Reng didn't find anything odd about his outfit. He straightforwardly made Yuanhui wear those clothes.

Ryoichi struggled to hold back his laughter, but Frande, being a teacher, was not so forgiving.

*cough* *cough* *cough* “Doesn’t he look a lot like someone from the past?”

“...”

“Hehe, who knew, the teacher is actually quite fun. I used to think that a big old guy like you would never have a sense of humor,” Chiyori smirked teasingly from the side.

“Yeah, why did I even say those things? I have no idea myself.”

"Hmph, he even told me that if I want to become a true god in the future, I have to work hard,” Yuanhui snorted lightly before shrugging, indicating that Frande's joke was not well-received.
