Kurumi, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, suddenly had her pupils contract when she heard this, and stared at Byakuya in disbelief.
Nia, who was standing nearby, was equally shocked after seeing Kurumi's performance.
How would he know about something like this?!
"I know about you, I even know who the Primal Spirit is, because it turned you into a spirit and made you kill your friend who failed to become a spirit, right?"
"..." x2
His next words shocked the two of them. Kurumi didn't say anything, but her expression was enough to show her agreement.
He looked as if he had witnessed it firsthand...
Eh?
Could it be...?
"Night Lord, you wouldn't happen to be the Primal Spirit, would you?"
If that's the case, then everything can be explained...
"No, but I have an ability to know certain special things. I can't tell you anything else for now, but just remember what I said before."
Of course, Bai Ye is not, and even if he were, he would never admit it.
Even if Kurumi were to actually kill him and Nia, she probably wouldn't be greatly affected, so that statement was just meant to scare her.
Because he knew that Kurumi was extremely cautious about this matter and would never risk attacking them...
"Hehe~ Night-kun, you really surprise me. I didn't expect you to be the key to solving this problem~ But since you know, that makes things easier~ Both of you, give it a try! Zafkiel: The Tenth Bullet (Yud)!"
But at that moment, Kurumi raised her head, summoned the giant golden clock, and fired two shots at both of them simultaneously.
Upon witnessing this, the two frowned slightly but did not dodge. After being hit, Kurumi also pointed the short pistol at her temple and fired a shot.
Erya sensed that the spiritual energy bullet was not destructive and seemed to have a special effect, while Baiye could not dodge it.
However, it doesn't really matter whether you hide or not.
Anyway...
"Huh?! Why...why can't I access the memories?!"
Kurumi wouldn't get the news.
[Spirit Resistance: Can prevent the mind, body, and memories from being controlled by spirits, and also prevents any information from being detected by spirit abilities]
Perhaps it's the system's "anti-theft function," which is why he has extremely strong resistance to the mental power of spirits.
Even Nia's abilities can't detect him, so it's quite normal that he's immune to Kurumi's Tenth Bullet!
(Some commenters suggested that Nia should be able to investigate information about spirits, but in reality, she can't know whether Tohka and the others were human or spirits before, as she can't use that knowledge on pure spirits. The reason she can access information is likely because their powers have been sealed.)
Chapter 12: Kurumi: I was tricked by a bad man~ (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review)
"If I didn't have confidence, would I have come here to find you? I know your abilities, but I can also resist some of the power of the elves, so it's impossible to forcibly obtain your memories from me. And even if you devour us, you are no match for the Primal Elves."
Seeing Kurumi's reaction, Bai Ye continued to speak calmly, appearing very composed.
Even though Kurumi looked like she was about to attack him at any moment after seeing his appearance, she actually did not take any action.
Although he and Nia combined are no match for Kurumi in terms of strength, he has a weakness in Kurumi's hands.
For Kurumi, who had gone through so much trouble to find information about the Origin Spirit, it was absolutely impossible to risk losing this lead.
“I know you’re not a completely bad person. You initially just wanted to eliminate evil monsters, but you were used. You’ve only killed scum in the past and never intended to harm innocent people.”
So at this moment, he struck while the iron was hot, and began to speak softly and sincerely.
Threatening someone like Kurumi is ineffective; showing genuine emotion is more appropriate.
"...Sigh, it seems that Night Lord is the most unfathomable person~ I understand, I will not attack you, but on the contrary, I hope you can tell me about the identity of the Primal Spirit."
After hesitating for a while, Kurumi finally sighed and gave a somewhat bitter smile.
Kurumi is not a beast. The reason she does so many crazy things is because of her inner convictions, her convictions in matters of the heart.
She has always fought alone, and has always been regarded as a calamity and evil spirit.
So now, suddenly there's someone who understands and appreciates her, and honestly, it's a rather subtle feeling.
Moreover, if devouring Erya would lead to irreversible consequences, she certainly didn't want to take that risk.
"Okay, but I can't fully trust you yet, so it will take some time. If nothing bad happens by the time you graduate high school, I will tell you his identity."
"...As expected, Lord Ye came prepared~ But I searched so hard only to return empty-handed, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. If I told you all my cards at once, it would be very difficult for me too."
"Ugh~ It feels like I've been tricked by a bad man~"
Kurumi chuckled and made a light comment, then glanced at Nia beside her, her expression once again revealing a somewhat complicated look.
Neither of the two individuals provided any information about the Primal Spirit.
But there was a difference; she saw some of Er Ya's memories, but she couldn't see any of Bai Ye's memories at all, only a blank space.
In other words, his information did not originate from Niya's "omniscient" abilities.
It is indeed a unique item.
Well, it'll be less than a year and a half at most. Anyway, I don't really have any information about the Primal Spirits right now, so I'll just keep looking for information in the meantime.
"Alright then, I'll keep my promise. But please keep yours too, Night Lord, otherwise, I think I might do something drastic."
So Kurumi smiled and left those words for Byakuya, then smiled and disappeared into the endless darkness beneath her feet.
Anyway, what Bai Ye said makes a lot of sense. Even if she absorbed Er Ya's spiritual power, she might not be able to defeat that mysterious and unpredictable Origin Spirit.
Let's gamble our hopes on the future...
Sigh, I hope this long-cherished wish will one day be fulfilled.
"Phew, it's finally over for now. Niya, are you alright?"
Seeing Kurumi leave, Byakuya breathed a slight sigh of relief and then revealed his usual relaxed expression.
Of course, he also knew that Kurumi was likely still observing from the shadows.
But it's okay, Kurumi keeps her word, and they won't be in any danger for the time being.
"Nothing's wrong, my foot! You knew perfectly well how dangerous she was, and you still ran out here!"
However, Niya on the other side looked very angry and walked over, grabbed his cheek, and started pulling on it angrily.
"I have no choice, my girlfriend is in danger, I can't let her face it alone."
"...Hmph, that's easy for you to say. If you really cared about me, you should have explained things clearly sooner. By the way, your abilities aren't the same as mine, where you can know everything, are they?"
"It's not that convenient. I only know a limited part of it. But do you think we look a bit like a married couple?"
"...Tch, so how many women would you need to look like your spouse?"
Chapter 13: Ah, an interesting woman (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review)
Erya rolled her eyes at Bai Ye's usual teasing.
However, she naturally doesn't have that kind of thought right now.
This was actually her first time facing a Pokémon other than the Primal Pokémon, so she was naturally a little nervous.
Kurumi's ability is also a very overpowered time manipulation ability. If you really continue to chase her, even if you are not killed by her, it will take a long time to escape, which will be extremely annoying.
But now, it seems they have truly become "allies" with her for the time being?
To be honest, she's not entirely sure if there's still any danger.
"Haha~ Just kidding, but I really think you're most like me~"
However, Bai Ye seemed quite relaxed and even had the mind to continue teasing.
"You... I even suspect that you only approached me and started dating me because I'm an elf."
Erya paused for a moment, then continued to complain, but this time when she looked at Bai Ye, her gaze was somewhat complicated.
She used to think a lot about this, but after dating A-Ye, she basically stopped thinking about it because she found him very interesting.
She was afraid that if she overthought things, she might discover something terrible...
But now, it has been discovered that the other party is likely also an elf, and has always known her identity.
This sense of loss made her feel "betrayed" and she could no longer trust him as before...
Did you agree to date me only after you confirmed my identity?
"..."
But at this moment, Bai Ye smiled and asked a question in return, which made Er Ya slightly surprised.
Then he reached out and gently patted Erya's head, his smile brighter than ever before.
"I thought you were attracted to my interesting personality, which is why you started dating me~"
……
……
……
"You're quite self-aware, young man~ But this head-patting gesture is really effective on little girls, it's not very effective on older women like me~"
After pausing for a while, Niya also showed a relaxed smile, then directly nudged Baiye's abdomen with her elbow and teased him with a playful laugh.
He laughed happily and relaxed.
Indeed, I was initially curious about A-Ye's identity, which is why I started paying attention to him.
But falling in love with him and dating him was a choice I made myself!
Although I like anime and manga, I still live in the three-dimensional world.
However, it was he who showed her that even in this dirty three-dimensional world, there are souls as pure and interesting as those in the two-dimensional world.
Now, she's starting to love this three-dimensional world a little bit too.
