Because there are two of them, and he only has one, and he is unwilling to let go of either of them.

Surby was more greedy than anyone else.

Chapter Twenty-Four Ding!

Suer understood the cause and effect perfectly without any prompting, but there is often a great gap between knowing a principle and practicing it, and this is the case with knowingly committing a wrong.

Having gone through life and death together, worked together for the same goal, and even paid the price, letting go of either Xin Ke or Jibril would cause Suer immense pain. Such pain, magnified over a long life, would become an unbearable torment every time she thought of it.

If regret can be avoided, then why watch it happen?

"You're spacing out again!!"

A low, accusatory voice came from beside me, sounding somewhat angry. The movie on the screen was nearing its end, depicting the lives and individual development of the protagonists after defeating their powerful enemies.

Only at this moment did Jibril, who had been focused on the plot, have time to turn around and look at Sull's reaction.

"...Jibril?"

Ignoring the accusations from the Skywing race, Suer simply gazed at her before calling out to her again.

"Go back to your original self... I'd rather see the real you."

Jibril was surprised that Sull would suddenly make such a request at this time, nor did she expect him to say such words. She just silently looked at Sull's face, which was somewhat dim under the light of the screen, but his eyes were still as deep as ever.

"...Fine~, there's no point in pretending to be that weed anyway... She's ugly, with such long ears... and has a terrible personality... If I were to pretend to be her, I'd have to force myself to say all those shameless things... It's pointless... I've wanted to change back to normal for a long time..."

Suer's gaze was neither scorching nor aggressive; he simply looked at her calmly, like a quietly flowing stream. Yet, it was this very gaze that made Jibril feel uneasy. She had never had a human body, and her skin was slightly itchy, which made her bones uncomfortable. No matter how she positioned herself or sat, she could not feel at ease.

She muttered to herself quietly while wiping her face with her hand, using this action to escape Suer's gaze and avoid looking directly into his eyes.

When Jibril lowered her hand completely, the face she had transformed into, that of Shinko, disappeared. Sitting next to Sue was only Jibril herself, and even her golden hair had turned back to her unique pink. Compared to the previous humanized Shinko image, this was Jibril's humanized form.

He smiled at her, and without saying anything more, Sue simply extended his right hand to Jibril. After she placed her palm on his, they interlocked their fingers and rested on the seat.

When Jibril glanced over casually, she saw a translucent hand clasped together with Sue's hand, which was resting on his left leg, just like her own.

"Humph~"

Despite the lack of prior agreement, both Xinke and Jibril let out a soft hum in unison at that moment, making Suer almost want to laugh.

The movie ended without any surprises, just like all popular adventure stories: the male and female leads lived happily ever after, and the second male lead, having lost an arm, wandered the world – a cause for celebration!

As the black-and-white curtain call appeared on the screen, the theater lights came on, blurring the text. The rest of the audience, discussing the plot, got up from their seats and left, occasionally casting strange glances at Su Er.

Sue remained seated, still holding their hands. They had to wait until everyone else had left before departing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to the cinema security why a blonde beauty had walked in with him, only to emerge as a pink-haired beauty.

People with outstanding looks will attract attention wherever they go. On their way here, Sue and Jibril were even mistaken for cosplayers, and many people came up to ask for photos with them.

"Why not use magic?" Jibril blurted out abruptly. "It would be easy to make them not notice us or change their thoughts and memories. We're not going to kill them anyway; it's just a small matter."

"...Didn't we agree to experience the life of an ordinary human? If things don't reach the point where you have to use magic to solve them, just bear with it for now," Su'er complained. "If you're thinking of 'ding' and activating Wind Spirit Moon Shadow every time something happens, what's the point of playing the game?"

"That's really interesting!" Jibril perked up as soon as the topic came up. "In reality, I'm so powerful that I can crush any enemy in this world with just a wave of my hand. So why do I have to level up little by little in the game? Even if I reach the maximum level, I still can't kill anyone instantly?"

"This must be a problem with the game!!"

Queen Jibril spoke with a confident and righteous tone, and her assertive manner left Sur speechless for a moment.

Yes, Jibril is the kind of person who uses cheats when playing games. After learning how to use the internet, Sue introduced her to online games so that she could experience modern entertainment. However, he didn't expect that by letting Jibril play games on her own, she would learn how to use cheats without any instruction—for the reasons mentioned above.

Why force someone with an underdeveloped brain? She probably can't win the game without using such extraordinary methods.

Xin Ke arrived at the scene immediately and mocked them.

"Huh? You, who directly attacked the game server and caused the game to be temporarily shut down, have the right to talk to me?" Jibril sneered disdainfully, exposing Xinke's true colors in front of Suer without hesitation.

"I call that making reasonable use of the rules! Do you understand code?! Since the code exists, then doing that is reasonable!" Xin Ke retorted directly, not even through telepathy.

Sur was dumbfounded—what were these two guys up to?!

He knew about Jibril's thrill of instantly killing opponents in games using cheats, but what about Xin Ke—when did she start learning computer languages?

No, why would you attack the game server?! And with such a righteous reason!

Xinke! When did you become like this?!

Wait, weren't we always soul-connected?! When did you sneak off to play games?!

Never in his wildest dreams did he learn of this secret at this time. Su Er felt that Xin Ke's always serious image was shattering in his mind.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Better Next Time

Also, what's the difference between attacking a server and cheating?

In terms of sheer aggression, directly attacking the server and making it unplayable for everyone is far worse than cheating! How dare you accuse Jibril!

Noticing Suer's gaze, Xin Ke looked back and snorted coldly before saying, "Those ignorant humans can only pathetically accuse me of cheating when faced with operations they can't understand. The stupid officials also followed their lead and banned my account, even though I had no data problems at all. Since they love to be so impotent and furious, then let them be angry all they want."

So you just attacked and destroyed the server?

Suer was dumbfounded.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, more than once~", Jibril sneered from the side, "Every time the official servers of that game are opened, this weed attacks the servers. It's been shut down for more than a month now, right? Most of the players should have left."

"This is the price they pay for offending me! The Nielbaren family is not to be desecrated!" Without any remorse, Xin Ke proudly raised her head.

You're quite proud of yourself!

"Hacking is illegal, isn't it?" Su Er muttered listlessly.

"How could that be? This is knowledge that already exists in human society. I didn't use any superhuman power, so it makes sense to me." After rolling her eyes at Suer, Xin Ke shrank back into her body.

It seemed they were about to start preparing for the next movie; if you listened carefully, you could already hear the footsteps of the staff outside.

Suer ran very fast, and the ticket checker was still staring intently at his back. He clearly remembered that this man had walked in with a beautiful blonde woman, so how did he come out as a different pink-haired woman?

Fortunately, in a world where there are no supernatural forces on the surface, people don't usually think about strange things in their daily lives as supernatural or ghostly. Moreover, in a public place with many people coming and going, it saved Su Er some trouble.

Because they had dinner first, it was quite late when they finished watching the movie. However, the city lights still illuminated every corner of the street. If you didn't look up, it would be hard to believe that it was almost midnight. Even the number of people on the street hadn't decreased much.

Only when we left the busiest commercial street and started to approach the residential area did the night finally begin to feel like night. Apart from Sue and Jibril, there was no one else on the street, and even the houses on both sides of the road were dark.

Spring nights aren't exactly hot, but they are rather cool.

“This country always has all sorts of fireworks displays in the summer. Hmm, wouldn’t it be even more romantic if we could look up and see lots of fireworks going up right now?” Sue said earnestly. After he finished speaking, Jibril looked up at the sky with him.

There was nothing there; even the distant starlight seemed to have hidden itself tonight, dimmed to the point of being almost invisible. The sky was like a black box—it would have been better if there were fireworks exploding in the sky, so that it wouldn't seem too monotonous.

Suer couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In Japan, a country where setting off fireworks requires prior notification, Sue naturally had no intention of causing trouble for the police in the middle of the night, even though Jibril didn't care about such a small matter.

“Then we can just wait until summer to go see it,” Jibril said casually, and seeing her nonchalant expression, Sue couldn’t help but laugh.

Sure enough, he was more familiar with this expression when it appeared on Jibril's own face; there was no sense of incongruity about it anymore.

"What are you laughing at?" Jibril asked, displeased.

"Nothing, nothing," Su'er said, trying to explain himself, but his laughter grew louder and louder. Xin Ke also transformed into a different form amidst his laughter, and now the three of them were walking together on the street.

It's not that Suer is socially anxious, but he does have a feeling that it would be nice if the three of them could just walk around the street openly like this, and it would be best if no one else bothered them.

“Isn’t everyone in this country admiring cherry blossoms in the spring?” Xin Ke said casually.

"Isn't it past cherry blossom season already? It's almost summer, isn't it?" Su Er scratched his head. "It's okay, we have plenty of time. We can go see them next year."

“It doesn’t matter. Although I’m not interested in this kind of flower, I can go with you if you want,” Xin Ke said with a shrug.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Er knew he was an old tsundere.

Xin Ke preferred flowers with strong fragrance and more vibrant colors, so Su Er wasn't surprised that she didn't like cherry blossoms.

"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, this world is hard to get bored with," Sue said with a smile, but then he noticed Jibril suddenly squeeze his hand tightly. "What's wrong?"

“I remember you said before that there are monsters in this world?” Jibril’s eyes flickered.

“Yes, that’s right. They’re hidden in human society, but in my opinion, they’ve been tamed by humans. It wouldn’t be wrong to say they’re humans who can transform or have superpowers,” Suer said after thinking for a moment. “But I’ve heard that many of my old friends have survived to this day… If you’re bored, you can try to find them.”

“I don’t think they’ve all lost that freakish aura, have they?” Sue guessed, and Jibril knew who he was talking about.

Before she returned to this era with the three of them, she did indeed see the monsters who came to her door.

“Good,” Jibril nodded in satisfaction. “This world is certainly not so boring anymore.”

She remembered that green-haired guy.

"Don't cause any large-scale destruction, okay?" Sue couldn't help but remind her, worried that Jibril might do something dangerous in a moment of impulse.

"Don't worry, don't worry~~", Jibril waved her hand with a grin, then suddenly took two quick steps forward, turned around and looked at Sue and Xinke, saying, "So this is what you call a date?"

Jibril raised her hand, which was still intertwined with Sul's, and waved it, which looked somewhat like a provocation. Fortunately, Xin Ke didn't say anything except for a dissatisfied snort.

"A date?" Suer hesitated.

Today's date was indeed completely different from the sweet and romantic date he had imagined, a date where both parties were incredibly shy.

But how can this not be considered a date?

“Of course,” Sue said confidently, “this is definitely a date.”

Next time, he would make sure to create a more harmonious and romantic atmosphere between them.

We need to truly become a family.
