Why can't humans do it too?

"...Could you let me go back and see my family first?" Araragi Koyomi hid his gaze under his bangs. "I've been missing for several days...I just need to see them from afar."

"Pfft, so you've been locked up here all this time?" This time, it was Su'er who couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Sorry, sorry, go ahead. I didn't mean to restrain you. Xin Ke and the others were just trying to be kind... but I still suggest you be careful."

"After all, if what you just said is correct, then you and that vampire over there should still have three enemies hiding in the shadows... You don't want your family to be harmed because of you, do you?"

"...Yes, thank you very much."

“No need to thank me. In the end, I just saw my own shadow in you. My willingness to help you is nothing more than self-gratification,” Suer said clearly.

"So, do you have any suggestions?" Araragi Koyomi asked respectfully. There was no doubt that in his eyes, Su'er was no longer human.

"My suggestion?" Su Er turned to look at the ceiling and thought for a moment, "It's perfectly normal to feel curiosity, fear, or even rejection towards unfamiliar things, so... why not give them a try?"

Chapter 10 Gift

“You’ve lived as a human for over a decade, and you’re no longer curious about human life and daily routines. But this is your first time experiencing being a vampire, isn’t it?” Sue said slowly. “People are always curious and fearful of unfamiliar and uncommon things, especially vampires, a race that has only existed in stories in the past.”

"I can understand that feeling. It's like how an ordinary person would instinctively be on guard and feel fear when they see a burly, muscular man with a knife. Not to mention that vampires are far more terrifying than human thugs."

“There’s no need to be afraid. As long as you still adhere to human values ​​and ways of doing things, and always love your family... then what does it matter if you become a goblin now?” Sul said with a smile, as if an experienced person was imparting their wisdom to a younger generation.

"At least become an orc, right? Goblins are just too pathetic," Araragi Koyomi couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha, if you want to become an orc, you can ask them for help. I believe they would be happy to help you," Suer laughed heartily.

“Yeah, it should be pretty good as a practice piece,” Shinko said, giving Araragi Koyomi a slight smirk. The high school boy guessed that she was probably smiling.

"Anyway, it's good that you can still joke around, at least you seem to be in good spirits," Sue said, looking at Araragi Koyomi. "Experience your current body a little longer, and come back to us when you make your final decision."

"...Are you leaving?" Araragi Koyomi cleverly sensed the unspoken meaning in Su's words.

"Okay, Xinke will give you an address. Now, let's go."

"...I am extremely grateful."

Seeing that Sull had turned his head back to lie down, looking extremely tired, Araragi Koyomi solemnly bowed to him and Hinko Jibril, then silently looked at the blond vampire who was staring at him... Finally, he turned around and walked downstairs.

--------------

Suer returned home, or rather, to that long-lost room he had rented but hadn't lived in for a long time.

There was no effort spent on moving them; Jibril simply opened a passage and sent them there directly. Along with them was the vampire named Kiss-Shot.

Jibril's existence is now completely tied to the galaxy that has the power to travel through time. However, even though she tried her best to gather the collapsing galaxy before defeating Amaterasu, the energy was almost completely used up after locating and bringing Sul and Hinko back to the era in which they had left their mark and could feel their longing. Along with that, the power of Tet, which was used to achieve this miracle, also disappeared.

That galaxy has indeed continued in this larger and real world, as evidenced by the fact that Jibril still exists and has not disappeared, its size having changed from that of blood vessels to that of capillaries.

This is also why Jibril maintains a childlike appearance and a mental age close to that of a young girl.

If Sue wasn't mistaken, Jibril was carrying a bag of all sorts of sweets when she went upstairs with Araragi Koyomi. She even casually hid the bag of sweets behind her back, behaving like a child who didn't want to share, which was quite in line with her age.

Even Xin Ke fell silent... She lost interest in mocking such a Skywing species.

Using magic to instantly remove the dust and grime from the room, Jibril sat directly on the dining table, resting her chin on her hand and staring at Sue. Her eerie expression gave him a chill down his spine.

“You can speak your mind,” Suer couldn’t help but say.

"Huh?" Jibril paused for a moment, then realized what Sue was referring to. "I was just wondering why you didn't just watch him suffer like that?"

This question instantly drew the attention of everyone in the room, including the vampire who had been huddled in a corner with his knees drawn up to his chest since he entered the room.

"Is there anything strange about it?" Jibril shrugged, completely unconcerned about the problem with her question, her short legs swinging back and forth on the edge of the table. "You were thrown into a hell of the weak as a mortal, and you managed to climb out. So why can't he? Besides, he didn't just fall into the abyss of fate; he gained the power to control his original destiny. It would be disgusting if he wallowed in self-pity because of that, wouldn't it?"

Jibril was unhappy about this.

"...I thought you went with him to buy snacks because you were on good terms," ​​Suer said, stretching out on her bed after a long absence.

"Is it something so difficult? I love my knife, but a knife is meant to be used, right?" Jibril asked, looking completely bewildered. "And you, you're not allowed to avoid my questions anymore, okay?"

“…When did I avoid your questions?” Suer muttered softly, then closed his eyes and sighed. “Actually, it’s not as complicated as you say, or I’m resentful of the different experiences he and I had.”

“When I was little, I always wanted to eat at McDonald’s and KFC like other kids, but my family wasn’t well-off, so I could only watch the kids eat through the glass with envy.”

"When I grew up and started working, my favorite thing to do was to take my relatives' kids to a restaurant for a big meal. Seeing them enjoy their food made me happy too."

"That's pretty much how I felt when I saw Araragi," Sue concluded.

"Just for that simple reason?" Jibril was still somewhat skeptical.

“Of course, what else could it be?” Suer was deeply saddened that his good intentions had been misunderstood. “Speaking of which, what’s the situation over there now?”

Suer was referring to the changes on Disboard's side. Of course, he didn't even know the name Disboard. It was a name that Tetu had specially given to that chessboard-like world.

They've been in a state of battle ever since Jibril was sent here by Tet, and only now can they finally have a proper chat about other things. Hmm, although Xin Ke probably already exchanged information with Jibril, he still doesn't know, does he?

“A boring world, everything is a game,” Jibril shrugged. “Oh, right, now that you mention it, Tet asked me to give you this.”

Chapter Eleven: Jibril! So exciting!

As she spoke, Jibril pulled a translucent hexagonal crystal from the small wing on her back, which indeed bore the aura of Tetu.

"What is this?" Suer asked curiously.

“I don’t know, Tet has locked it, only you can open it,” Jibril said, shaking her head, and simply tossed the crystal to Sull.

With a look, she gestured to Xinke to help her lean against the headboard. Xinke was also curious about what the divine being that had been born before her had to say.

The crystal, which had remained unchanged in Jibril's hands, began to emit a pale blue light in Sul's hands, with every exposed surface moving as if it were a precision machine with a pre-programmed trajectory.

"Wait a minute," Xin Ke suddenly reached out and blocked the crystal. She turned to look at the vampire who was huddled in the corner. A green light barrier blocked her and Su Er's group, completely isolating them from the sound and the scene.

Kiss-Shot, like a wooden doll, showed no further reaction, merely glancing up once before looking down again.

"Okay, let's continue."

Without objection, the crystal, which had paused for a moment, continued to unfold and quickly transformed into... a stage?

Yes, it is a stage, just like the stage in front of the screen in a movie theater. The curtains on both sides also prove that this is indeed a stage, and the 'actors' on the stage are also easy to identify.

The burly man was unforgettable after just two glances. His folded wings and even his eyes, which always radiated golden light, were vividly depicted—with light bands radiating outwards from his eyes.

Suer recognized the God of War at a glance. This divine being was sitting on his throne, and he was even more familiar with the other 'actor' opposite him.

Putting aside the tiny physical markings and habits, this small stage was small but complete, and the scene it presented was exceptionally detailed. Even though the halo above each Skywing was different and each had its own complexity, Sull still recognized it as Jibril at a glance.

However, Jibril on this small stage appeared to be in great pain. Although the Skywing race does not have the physiological characteristic of menstrual cramps, she still seemed to be crawling on the ground in great pain. Moreover, her voice was different from the childlike voice that was unique to her young body. Every word Jibril spoke on the stage sounded extremely suppressed, as if it contained countless secrets and emotions.

I have become weak... my Lord.

boom! ! !

It exploded—not on this small stage, but on the other side, where Jibril, who had been bored and sat back down at the table after throwing away what Tet had instructed Sull to open herself, was now gone.

Jibril, who had been nonchalantly glancing at the small house, appeared in front of Suer the moment she heard the first sentence. She reached out her small hand to dodge the small stage, but Suer, who had been extremely weak since waking up, seemed to unleash a burst of inner strength at this moment and dodged Jibril's outstretched hand with astonishing speed.

To be honest, this sudden and unexpected outburst made Suer's already weak body even weaker. But he realized one thing: if Jibril took this thing away now, he would probably never know what was inside.

How can such a future be allowed?!

Suer's gaze hardened instantly. Yes, he had only managed to dodge Jibril's snatch for the moment, but at such close range, Jibril could reach out again in the next second—but he still had Xinke!

The bed beneath them lost its support and fell to the floor. Suer, who had suddenly lost her support, was pulled behind her by Xinke. At the same time, the voices of Jibril and Altshu continued to emanate from the small stage that Suer had been holding in her hand.

Whether out of curiosity, grief, or sorrow, Jibril went berserk as if she had been injected with adrenaline, and after uttering just one last sentence, Sull had no chance to speak again—"Don't tear down the house!"

Flash!

In just a few seconds, Jibril flashed around Sul at an extremely high frequency. To be precise, she was right next to him, above him, below him, to his left, and to his right, where he was holding the small stage. The flashing was so fast that it was impossible to see the pink-haired winged creature's figure clearly. All that could be seen was a ball of dancing pink and white light, and pieces of white energy feathers falling from the sky. However, before these feathers could even fall to the ground, they were smashed to pieces by the high-speed movements of the group.

Xin Ke has already given it her all.

In just a few words, she was able to discern what was being performed on this small stage. Without a doubt, it was the gift that the divine being born from Suer and the one before her had spoken of—the best gift!

Well done! Tetu!

Xin Ke secretly praised him, but it was one thing for Te Tu to show his kindness, and another thing for her to accept the gift completely.

I stake my life on Nirvalan! I will record everything that happened here!!!

She bit her lower lip hard. Although her semi-transparent energy body did not produce any sensation of pain, Xin Ke could feel it whenever she needed it, and right now she needed this pain to perk herself up.

Eightfold Technique—Open!

A pale green light curtain separated Kiss-Shot in a corner of the room. Although she had no intention of stepping into this unfamiliar room, the sight of the room outside the light curtain, which seemed to be swept by a tornado, made her eyes widen involuntarily.

Unable to hear any sounds from outside the light screen, and frankly unable to see what these strange beings were doing, Kiss-Shot was able to see them dancing and leaving afterimages in the room the moment they started fighting amongst themselves.

At the very least, the room was barely maintained, but everything inside was now in complete disarray. Tables and chairs were overturned, and small items such as water glasses were scattered all over the floor. Frankly speaking, it was no longer a place where normal creatures could live; it resembled a dwelling left behind by some cannibals, a scene of utter chaos.

Compared to Sue and Xinke, who were incredibly curious about what would happen next because of the unknown, Jibril knew better than them what would happen if this thing continued to unfold, and that was what she truly could not accept.

Fight.

She, Jibril, was giving it her all.

Chapter Twelve: Wings of Tomorrow

It wasn't an illusion; Jibril's halo, though a manifestation of energy, was spinning so rapidly at this moment that it created a whirlwind.

Even if Su Er hears it, it's fine, but only he can hear it, and it must be when he's alone. Everything that happens on this small stage must not be known to that weed, only!

Jibril couldn't even imagine how that weed would laugh at her, let alone how she would mimic its words and that mocking smile!
