Chapter 687

【For the first time!】

【She felt disgust toward her own curiosity and initiative.】

【Behavior that might not have counted for much in the past could now potentially put her own sisters into irresistible danger.】

【It wasn't until the man's lazy voice rang out and he waved his hand to return to the house that she suddenly woke up.】

【No, I can't give up.】

【Even if there's a glimmer of possibility, I must grasp it.】

【Covering her mouth tightly, Ichika Nakano suddenly crouched down, secretly crawling on the ground, inching her way out.】

【Damn it, my chest is too big, it hurts from the friction.】

【With her brain pulled tight like a string and carrying immense fear, the girl moved out bit by bit; the few steps it took to come here now took a full seven minutes.】

【Blood flowed rapidly under immense pressure, causing her consciousness to feel blurred, and in a daze, she seemed to hear the final conversation of the few people.】

【"Miss Yingdao noticed it too, right? Do we need to dispose of her?"】

【That should be the purple-haired foreigner; this 'dispose of,' it couldn't mean what she thought, could it?】

【Ichika Nakano, lying on the ground, had a blank mind, her breathing stalled, and immense fear swallowed her.】

【Like an ant waiting for judgment.】

【Until the girl's voice rang out: "She's just an ordinary person, forget it."】

【Then another lively female voice: "Mai-chan, little Shu is so amazing, really amazing, hehe, I want to make little Shu into a card, look forward to my new board game, what should I call it? How about 'Heroic Spirit Kill'?"】

【Until the voices gradually grew faint and drifted away.】

【Ichika Nakano scrambled up, using a speed she hadn't even imagined, and rushed out of the forest, running for her life toward the direction of home.】

………

Reality.

A certain noble academy in Tokyo.

Listening to the laughter of her classmates around her, Ichika Nakano clenched her fists until they made a popping sound.

Too stupid.

Why was I so stupid in that world?

I had clearly approached that world proactively; I could have just walked out and met him, competing to be the heroine.

And yet I ran away?

Ichika Nakano gritted her teeth.

How could she not have some admiration and longing for that lord who saved the world time and time again?

Powerful, handsome, interesting, bad-hearted........

From a female perspective, these were never flaws.

If there was a chance to become that young man's lover, no woman would miss it, right?

Even if she were facing that senior, Mai Yingdao, whom she admired, she couldn't give up.

Besides, in the Sky Curtain, she was the senior, okay?

And yet.......

Watching herself in the Sky Curtain, disregarding her image and fleeing for her life, Ichika Nakano was almost crying with anger.

A mere life, what's there to worry about? Can't you show some backbone?

…….

【The abandoned factory was not far from the apartment where the Nakano family lived.】

【Running back in almost one breath, Ichika Nakano, who had never imagined she could run so fast and so far, only noticed her own disheveled state when she reached her front door.】

【Leaning against the wall, feeling the burning in her lungs, she breathed heavily, drawing in oxygen from the air.】

【She vaguely heard her sister, Nino Nakano, making a fuss inside the house, repeatedly emphasizing what an incredible thing had happened—that was the shattering of the moon.】

【According to the news she searched, this special phenomenon was global.】

【Even on the other side of the hemisphere, where it should have been daytime, the image of the shattered moon appeared.】

【That wasn't some special phenomenon at all.....】

【That was a god raising a sword to slash and extinguish the concept of the moon!】

【At this moment, the girl named Ichika Nakano felt a strange sense of superiority over her sisters.】

【Even vaguely, she felt some regret.】

【Was I too much of a 'Lord Ye who loves dragons,' missing out on something? If I had walked out then, would things have become different from then on?】

【I could clearly feel that those few were all very good people.】

【For a moment, Ichika Nakano pushed open the door with complex feelings.】

【"Ichika, back so early? Eh, what's wrong with you?"】

【Nino Nakano, who was wearing a black butterfly hairband and excitedly talking about something, turned back and suddenly noticed Ichika's disheveled state, and even the tears in her clothes, and her pupils shrank instantly.】

【It couldn't be........】

【Nino Nakano became nervous all of a sudden.】

【"Nothing, it's just that there's nothing going on at the agency for now."】

【Ichika Nakano rolled her eyes and looked into the living room, where Yotsuba was exercising and Itsuki was secretly taking out a meat bun to eat, and asked casually: "Where's Miku?"】

【The five sisters all had quite curvaceous figures and their appearances were almost identical; if it weren't for their different hairstyles, it would be hard for them to tell each other apart.】

【Well, Itsuki was different; Itsuki was fuller, so she could be identified at a glance.】

【Nino Nakano was stunned: "It seems she said she was going out to buy the latest Warring States picture book..."】

【"How many minutes has it been?"】

【Ichika Nakano's expression tightened.】

【"About... about an hour or so?"】

【"Where did she go to buy it?"】

【"Just at the community entrance downstairs."】

【Nino Nakano looked at Ichika, whose face had suddenly turned ugly, and said hesitantly: "Public security in Fuyuki City has always been good, no need to be so worried, Ichika, maybe she got absorbed in reading, you know... Ichika....."】

【Watching Ichika rush out, the three sisters looked at each other, their expressions slowly becoming solemn.】

【Although Ichika was mischievous and liked pranks, she would never joke about the safety of her sisters.....】

【Suddenly, the three sisters stood up in unison.】

【"Wait for us, Ichika."】

………

"The Sky Curtain wouldn't show too much irrelevant content... so Miss Nakano, it's possible something really happened."

Exchange Zone.

A group of veterans analyzed: "Among the seven Servants, let's not talk about Brother Luo Shu's group; the Lancer group, the Rider group... even if Assassin didn't need to silence witnesses, they wouldn't do such a thing. Is it that one?"

"It should be."

Others nodded solemnly: "Abigail Williams."

At first, some people thought the yandere loli was very appealing.

So what if she has the Chaotic Evil attribute?

There are plenty of charming bad women in literary works.

But when those miserable limbs of children in that underground cavity were presented so vividly before their eyes, the flowing blood, the human skin hanging on the walls, the hollow skulls and internal organs drifting along the blood...

The impact was unbelievable, too cruel.

Even that "Madara," who claimed he wanted to create permanent peace and who sounded like a big villain from the start, erupted with a burst of killing intent.

His greatest ideal once was to protect children and relatives.

When everything was lost, it turned into creating peace and preventing tragedies from the root.

He just lost hope in human nature, he didn't turn into a beast.

How could he accept such cruel things?

If even Lord Madara in the exchange zone was like this, other people with positive, sunny personalities naturally couldn't stand it even more.

Now, no one treated that girl as a young girl anymore; in their eyes, she was a twisted, terrifying, and powerful monster.

It instantly cured a bunch of yandere fans.

"So why did she catch so many children and skin them?"

"Cultists, nothing is strange for them to do; perhaps it's a sacrifice to her god?"
