I love time travel the most!

If they really became enemies, he might go crazy.

"That's truly an honor. But Natsuki-kun, don't underestimate yourself; you still possess extraordinary potential."

This can be seen from the fact that Subaru Natsuki's design in the IF Online game made Reinhard heartbroken.

"Don't be like that, or you'll get carried away." Natsuki Subaru patted his cheeks shyly, then asked with a serious expression, "Kobayashi, were you really not the one who arranged the attack by the Bowel Hunters?"

"I can assure you that it is absolutely not."

Kobayashi shook his head, then pouted unhappily and said, "I'm angry too! My pet was kidnapped! Was it a minotaur? Was it a minotaur? I'm a pure love warrior, don't you think I'm pathetic? Subaru, when you find out who the victim is, please give him a good punch for me!"

Subaru Natsuki's resentful words made him realize that Kobayashi was also a victim.

"Okay, then let's leave it at that."

"Oh?"

"After all, Kobayashi isn't the mastermind, and you've helped me so much, even saving Rem. I have to repay that kindness."

"Really? I was thinking of using a chance to be resurrected as an apology, but now it seems like that's no longer necessary?"

"Wait, wait a minute! Is it too late for me to back out now?"

"It's too late."

“How could it be——”

Natsuki Subaru knelt on the ground in despair, adopting a posture that looked particularly embarrassing to Gaffel.

However, what Natsuki Subaru was really thinking was that his feigned generosity had cost him a hundred million yen, which was more painful than if he had reincarnated eight times.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

"Alright, although I've sealed this place off with silk threads, the fire is too intense to sustain any longer."

Kobayashi used the silk thread to pry open the pile of stones, found the mangled female corpse underneath, and held it in her arms. Looking at Subaru Natsuki, she said, "It was hard work liberating the Sanctuary, but you still have some cleanup tasks to complete."

"Mostly rabbits..."

"Go, may the goddess of water bless you."

"Don't say such scary things!"

Ryuu took the unconscious Merry from Frederica's hands. The mansion, now without the support of the threads, kept dropping stones that blocked their view. A purple light array enveloped the four of them, and they disappeared as Natsuki Subaru shouted, mistaking it for a curse.

“I was born in the northern country of Gustich, which is a very cold land.”

“In countries with a large gap between the rich and the poor, it is not uncommon for poor people to abandon their children, and I am one of them.”

"I've had no parents since I was old enough to understand things, and I've made a living by vacuuming cement."

"Theft, kidnapping, fraud, and injuries are commonplace. Living like this every day... I don't know why I live, or what happiness is, because I simply don't have time to think about those things."

"The weather was particularly cold that day; the wind blowing from Lingfeng was so cold that the whole town seemed to freeze."

"In the freezing blizzard where even the breath I exhaled froze, I was caught red-handed by the shop owner while stealing."

"Although I left without complaining about being killed, because I am a woman, the man smiled lewdly and tore my clothes. I still remember his expression to this day."

"In the freezing wind, my clothes were stripped off... Just when I thought I would probably freeze to death before I was violated, I accidentally picked up a shard of glass."

"I didn't do it on purpose. I just stabbed the other person in the stomach as soon as I got the shard of glass."

"The man's screams and the helplessness after taking a life didn't move me. But in the cold wind, this is what I thought—"

"Blood and internal organs, they are such warm things."

"If happiness exists in this world, then it is the temperature that makes me forget the cold. For the first time in my life, I have had nothing since birth."

"...You can't understand, can you?"

The Intestine Hunter, who should have been dead, looked at the man who had ruthlessly dragged her out of the realm of death, disregarding her own wishes, and uttered incomprehensible words.

However, the answer she received was—

"I don't understand a damn thing."

The man looked at her with obvious impatience, as if complaining and scolding: "Why did you suddenly bring up your past? Are you trying to gain sympathy with your tragic childhood? Or are you trying to escape punishment?"

The fact that his leg was swinging rapidly when he stood up showed that he was in a very bad mood.

"It's nothing, just trying to resonate with people."

Elsa laughed.

Her face was pale and she was extremely weak. Her bloodthirsty side was completely hidden, while her intellectual and charming side was amplified infinitely, like a delicate flower that made people want to be close to her.

What's most infuriating is the deathly will in Elsa's eyes that even magic can't dispel.

He could tolerate insisting on the professional ethics of the gut hunters, he could tolerate taking Melie with him, and he could tolerate attacking their allies.

What Xiaolin couldn't stand the most was when someone saved a person's life but then wanted to die; it felt like the other person was wasting his feelings.

The feeling of frustration is especially intense after spending a long time together and developing an emotional foundation.

Unable to contain his anger, Kobayashi grabbed Elsa by the collar, making her already exposed chest even more revealing, showcasing an incredibly alluring figure.

But he wasn't in the mood to appreciate it; instead, he tilted his head back.

then--

It slammed hard onto Elsa's head!

The powerful impact seemed to smash all the jumbled thoughts in her mind, and red swelling appeared on both of their foreheads at the same time.

Kobayashi stared intently into Elsa's eyes and spoke as Elsa's gaze gradually cleared.

"Elsa! You are dead, but I resurrected you! Your soul is tainted with my essence; you are mine now! If you die again, I will resurrect you again! Once you die, I will resurrect you once; twice, I will resurrect you twice! If I cannot resurrect you, I will seek out goddesses; if one is not enough, I will seek out two; if two are not enough, I will seek out many! If I still cannot resurrect you, you will enter the cycle of reincarnation—in the next life, and the next, and the next, until your soul is annihilated. You will always be mine! Remember this well!"

Veins bulged on his forehead, his pupils held a determined look, and he exhaled a breath full of anger.

This is the most sincere blessing, and also the most vicious curse.

But how should I put it...

Surprisingly suitable for gut hunters.

Elsa chuckled, "Oh my, is this a declaration of love?"

What you think is your freedom and has nothing to do with me.

"What an arrogant man."

"Leave me alone."

Kobayashi rolled her eyes.

For a gut hunter with mental problems, drastic measures should be taken, otherwise, who knows when she might do something strange.

Seeing Kobayashi's reaction, Elsa tilted her head in disbelief, then blushed, squinted at him, and slowly said, "Then... how about we taint something other than the soul with your scent as well?"

"what?!"

"I think I've really fallen in love with you."

"You love my intestines, don't you?"

Just as Kobayashi was about to leave her to rest, Elsa unexpectedly came up to him from behind.

A soft and warm body, wonderful touches, and a warm, ticklish breath on my ear.

"Even a gut hunter would be moved by such a confession. Just like animals imbue their own things with their scent, then it's not just the soul that needs to be marked, but the body as well."

"you……"

"I think I've found new happiness. Can you make me happy?"

Without giving him a chance to react, she pulled Xiaolin back onto the bed and straddled him, her plump and firm thighs making it impossible for him to move.

It has only just been resurrected, yet it possesses such exaggerated power; the regenerative ability of the cursed doll is terrifying.

Whether Kobayashi resisted or not is unknown, but Elsa found new happiness on this day.

Chapter 402 The seed of the Axis cult has been planted.

Although Elsa always said that she would never let go of happiness once she grasped it, she never expected that the Hollow Hunter's hole was deeper than she had imagined. It took Kobayashi three whole days to fill it.

It wasn't until I was completely exhausted and my vision blurred that I realized the other person meant that holding happiness and holding the future were different; the former meant something much more greedy.

The alluring woman was even more beautiful than before, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. Anyone would be astonished and would find it impossible to associate her with the terrifying title of "Gut Hunter".

However, the thought that I was the one who watered them gave me a strange sense of accomplishment.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Apart from Ferut, who kept complaining in his ear.

"Kobayashi, I asked you to save Melie, why did you bring Elsa back too?"

A little girl is still a little girl.

Even with a clear conscience, he still holds a grudge against Elsa for what she did back then.

"You say that, but you actually hope she can come back, right?"

"how is this possible?"

"Stop lying."

Kobayashi flicked her forehead and replied amidst a cry of pain and a resentful glare, "You know perfectly well that Melie and Elsa are like sisters. What if you only save Melie and then she becomes sullen again?"

"Tsk."

Ferut clicked her tongue in displeasure, but did not refute it.

The strange behavior of Melly occurred during the period when Elsa was missing. If Elsa had actually died in front of her, it would have caused her enormous psychological trauma.

"Actually, what I wanted to do more was save her."

"……Hello!"

The teasing words whispered in her ear immediately made the little girl break down. Wasn't this telling her that even if they didn't explicitly say they wouldn't save her, they would still be saved in the end? Shouldn't they at least care about her feelings?

"Alright, alright, stop being so emotional."
