Machete Style Anime

Through the open door, she quickly glanced around the room and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Everything is normal; there shouldn't be any extreme thoughts."

But it was just a sigh of relief.

After all, sometimes behaving normally is the biggest abnormality.

"Mom, let's go downstairs."

"what?"

Anna Kasugano, who had been lost in thought, didn't react for a moment. When she came to her senses, she saw her youngest daughter looking at her with concern.

"Mom, are you okay?"

At this point, what else could she say but that she was fine?

You can't exactly tell your youngest daughter, "I've noticed you've been behaving strangely lately, and I'm worried you might do something foolish," can you?

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about a new dish. Now that Xiao Qiong is out, let's go down for dinner. Dad is already waiting for us."

"Ah."

Kasugano Sora nodded slightly and followed her mother downstairs to the living room.

As they entered the living room, Anna Kasugano, who was walking ahead, exchanged a subtle glance with her husband.

No problems have been found yet.

"Be extra careful these next few days, in case anything happens to Xiao Qiong."

Kasugano Sora remained very quiet during the meal, which made the couple increasingly worried.

Just then, a sound came from the entrance hall.

Anna Kasugano was just about to get up to open the door when she suddenly heard the sound of the lock being opened.

At that moment, all three people present realized who the newcomer was.

Because their attention was focused on their eldest son who was about to enter, the couple did not notice the fleeting look of surprise in their youngest daughter's eyes.

"The future has returned; my plan can now be implemented."

……

……

……

There is no magic in the world that makes people stupid when they are in love. The so-called stupidity is just because the girl or boy loves the other person wholeheartedly, and will pretend not to notice even if they discover problems.

Kasugano Sora had already guessed the truth when Kasugano Mirai suggested that he might meet a girl he liked in Chiba.

The reason she didn't expose him was partly because her family background had exposed her to many bizarre things, making her more accepting; and partly because of her burning love for Kasugano Mirai and the guilt and self-blame for accidentally pushing him down the stairs.

Because of these reasons, she accepted the existence of other girls.

but!

The fact that something exists by default does not mean that it is not cared about.

Therefore, ever since her beloved left, she had been planning to do something big, and the reunion of her best friend's parents helped her complete the final piece of the puzzle in her plan.

According to Eriri, there are two days left to prepare for the banquet.

"The fact that he's coming back now shows that he didn't even waste time preparing."

"Including the family reunion on the last day, I have three full days to refine and adjust the plan based on the actual situation."

As if she had thought of something too embarrassing to say, a blush gradually crept onto the girl's cheeks.

The Kasugano couple noticed the blush on their youngest daughter's face, but they attributed it to their eldest son coming home, completely unaware of the surprise their daughter had prepared for them.

Kasugano Mirai walked into the living room and looked up to find her father, mother, and younger sister all staring at her intently. Startled, she asked, "Dad, Mom, and Sora, why are you all staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Ike Fumi's face darkened.

He was very satisfied with his eldest son in every way, except that his occasional unreliability and shamelessness left him speechless.

Of course, the latter is actually an advantage to some extent, so strictly speaking, what's truly frustrating is the occasional erratic behavior.

Unlike her husband, Kasugano Anna and Kasugano Sora are different.

Women and men see things from different perspectives, so the results will naturally be different. The same thing might seem romantic to a woman, but effeminate to a man.

The two women in the family actually quite like Kasugano Mirai's occasional silly antics.

After all, a lively character is better than a perpetual iceberg, right?

"You're back so early, have you eaten? If not, Mom will prepare your bowl and chopsticks."

It must be said that, in some ways, most mothers in the world are the same.

When my son rarely comes home, the first thing he always asks is if I've eaten.

Although Kasugano Mirai prepared meals for his girlfriends before leaving home, he was in a hurry and didn't touch a single bite.

Last night I fought bravely on the battlefield, and this morning I cooked on an empty stomach and then took a tram for more than an hour. Now that my mother has asked me this question, hunger has suddenly surged up.

"Gulu~"

Hearing the cooing sound, Kasugano Sora smiled and said, "I didn't tell Mom before I came home, so she didn't include your portion when she cooked. It will take a little longer to cook now. If you're hungry, you can eat mine first."

Even setting aside their current romantic relationship, considering their past sibling-like relationship, sharing a meal wouldn't be unacceptable.

Besides, Kasugano Mirai was really hungry. After sitting down at the table, she took the plate of food from her younger sister and began to eat heartily.

Anna Kasugano and Ikefumi Kasugano were relieved to see their youngest daughter smile for the first time in recent days.

Then, the couple looked at each other, their feelings subtly complicated.

"A daughter is like a bird that flies away from home once she grows up!"

Prequel: Nightmare's Redemption (Part 1) [8k]

"...Ah, Kurumi, you're back."

"It's a real shame. I was hoping to be your good friend for a while longer."

A girl with long, flowing, silver-white hair and delicate, angelic features slowly turned around, a gem-like object shimmering with red light floating in her palm.

Upon seeing this, Tokisaki Kurumi subconsciously took a step back, her eyes trembling violently, and her spiritual power began to erupt uncontrollably.

"That thing...that thing..."

Despite the different colors, it looks exactly the same as the spirit crystal she once absorbed!

"Mio... what... what exactly is going on?"

The trembling voice revealed the profound impact the owner had suffered.

"Why...why did Sawa and her classmates...?"

Everything was because of that incredibly familiar figure lying in a pool of blood behind Mio Takamiya.

"Could it be someone you know?"

Upon seeing Tokisaki Kurumi like this, a hint of apology flashed in Takamiya Mio's eyes.

Wanting to revive her lover doesn't mean she has no heart.

Although she suspected that she was using Kurumi Tokisaki, she genuinely treated her as a friend.

That is why the girl in front of me is the only one among all the girls who became elves whose real name and appearance I know.

But now, she knows that the two of them can never go back to their previous relationship.

"I'm so sorry for doing something I deeply regret."

Kurumi Tokisaki covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from losing control and screaming because she couldn't accept the truth.

Scenes of acting as a partner of justice and sweeping away evil in the past surfaced in my mind, corresponding one by one with the scene before me, gradually forming a clear and distinct thread.

Suddenly, I felt an unprecedented urge to vomit.

It was so intense, so nauseating, so...uncomfortable.

Through the change in her eyes, Mio Takamiya knew that the intelligent girl in front of her had already discovered the truth.

"Kurumi is very smart."

Her answer brought Tokisaki Kurumi an even deeper sense of despair.

"So, all the fifty or so elf monsters I've defeated in various places so far were actually humans in disguise, is that right?"

As a sheltered young lady, Tokisaki Kyo is kind-hearted by nature.

Before she became an elf, when she encountered a child's cat that had climbed up a tree and couldn't get down, she would risk climbing up the tree to rescue the kitten. Even when she accidentally fell, she would hold the kitten in her arms to ensure its safety.

This kind-hearted girl is now suddenly shocked to learn that the elves and monsters she killed in the past were actually humans just like her.

"Ah ...

The girl's heart-wrenching screams echoed from this rooftop.

The creaking pain all over her body caused Kurumi Tokisaki to collapse to her knees on the spot. Despair was slowly eroding her heart, and her consciousness was gradually becoming blurred.

But her sixth sense told her that if she ignored it, the consequences would be very serious.

Driven by her survival instinct, she slowly raised the weapon she was holding in her right hand.

"...Clockwork...Clockwork Emperor...Fourth Bullet..."

boom!

As the gunshot rang out, the girl, who was on the verge of a reversal, returned to normal, but the pain she had just endured, which was more desperate than the abyss, still lingered in her heart.

Gasping for breath, she stared intently at Takamiya Mio, whom she had once considered a good friend, her eyes now bloodshot.

Even when she looked at him with such a dangerous gaze, the latter remained completely calm.

timid?

trembling?

Guilty?
