Skadi, returning to infinity

The enormous, flaming axe fell, cleaving Skadi's body in two.

Its upper body flew a distance before landing on the ground, while its lower body slowly lay down.

Given her physical strength, Kotori Itsuka's spirit armor couldn't possibly harm her, let alone cut her body.

But she just let down all her defenses and let the axe fall on her.

"I'm returning this life to you."

Skadi smiled as she watched Kotori Itsuka drift over.

With her strong vitality, she would be perfectly fine if she didn't want to die.

Blood stained her long white hair, which was spread on the ground, red, just like her dress.

Skadi slowly raised her hand, exhaled, and then closed her eyes.

Stunned by what she saw, Kotori Itsuka had no idea what was going on.

She definitely wanted to kill Skadi, and she was absolutely determined not to hold back.

But after seeing that she was really dead, she felt a strange emptiness.

Will they finally get their revenge?

Or something else...

"You don't need to lie to me."

Biting her lower lip, Kotori Itsuka let out a cold snort.

"I'm sorry, but you killed me yourself once, so you shouldn't be so angry anymore, right?"

The two severed corpses lying on the ground turned into green light and were absorbed by Skadi, who reappeared behind Kurumi Tokisaki.

Aside from using the [Star Immortal Body] technique once, Skadi lost some energy.

She didn't even feel any pain—physical pain was something she was basically immune to.

Do you think I'll forgive you?

Kotori Itsuka turned to look at the "monster" with a complicated expression.

Just what kind of person is this woman?

"no.

Skadi shook her head, turned to the side, and looked at the sky.

"I just felt the need to do something."

"For example, doing things you want to do?"

Skadi smiled, and a gust of wind blew, making her white hair flutter like a goddess.

Chapter Twelve: Do you hate me? Then let's continue.

"Are death and life truly insignificant to you?"

Kotori Itsuka closed her eyes and asked in a peculiar tone.

"All I want to do is survive."

"Back then, I struggled to survive, so I did anything to stay alive."

"It's the same now."

"It's just that I no longer need to kill like I used to; now I'm more like a guardian."

Whether you believe it or not.

"Although I cannot give you a world again, or take you back to the way things were."

"But I can grant you elves, including the one you love..."

"Everything will come back to you."

I'll give you some time to think...

"You can refuse me directly, and after you refuse, I will arrange for you to enter the game of the gods and become an agent."

"There, you can find the meaning of life for yourself, find the reason to live..."

Skadi's voice was soft and gentle, but in Kotori Itsuka's eyes, it was all just pretense.

"Ha... Believe you? Believe you, the monster who destroyed everything I had?"

"Impossible, I will never forgive you in my entire life."

Upon hearing her say that, Skadi suddenly looked at Kurumi Tokisaki and smiled.

"Yeah, that's good. If they hate me for the rest of their lives, at least they'll have the motivation to live."

"If it weren't for this, you might..."

"The worst thing is not being able to find the will to live."

Kurumi Tokisaki turned her head away from her, seemingly unwilling to reveal her true feelings.

In the Type-Moon universe, she and Skadi spend a lot of time sleeping in the same bed.

But every time, she would wake up in the middle of the night, take out her two guns, and point them at her heart and head.

But she could never bring herself to do it, not because she didn't want to, but because she had been assimilated by Hai Si.

Even with her boundless hatred, she could only be Skadi's blood relative and could not bring herself to harm her.

However, a multitude of thoughts continued to entangle her, and Kurumi Tokisaki could no longer clearly define whether it was hate, love, or both.

"Huh? It's really funny that someone like you cares about others..."

"But that makes me find you even more disgusting."

"The executioner sympathizes with the person he killed, and even wants to do more for her..."

"Just thinking about it gives me the creeps, it's so disgusting..."

Kotori Itsuka's face was full of mocking smiles; she couldn't feel any goodwill towards Skadi at all.

That last axe strike was her genuine reaction upon seeing Skadi.

If Skadi hadn't subsequently revived completely without any injuries, causing her to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​continuing her attack, it would have been a different story.

Perhaps this place has already become a battlefield.

"If you hate me, you should show it."

Skadi walked past Kurumi Tokisaki and then stood in front of Kotori Itsuka.

She took Kotori Itsuka's hand and placed it on her neck.

"Strangle me hard, right here, kill me."

Staring at her with disgust, Kotori Itsuka forcefully shook off her hand.

"I'm sorry, I feel disgusted just looking at you."

The disgust in her tone was so obvious that anyone who didn't know better would think Skadi was a disgusting monster, and would never guess that she was...

Such a beauty.

This isn't the first time I've felt disliked...

"This won't be the last time either."

"But thank you for letting me know that hatred can be so direct."

Skadi looked at her thoughtfully.

In the IF route, she was born as a "monster," and even the Doctor wanted to kill her himself.

As her proxy, she has countless enemies, and there are always many who openly express their disgust towards her.

But perhaps because it had been so long since she had encountered someone who harbored such hatred towards her, Skadi actually felt a slight sense of nostalgia.

Although Griffith also harbored hatred towards her, that hatred was more of a form of jealousy.

Kotori Itsuka's emotions, whether pure or not, at least made Skadi feel genuine "hatred".

Are you a pervert or a masochist?

When Kotori Itsuka recited these Japanese words in a haughty voice, it sounded more like disdain than disgust.

"The arrogant attitude has become obsolete."

Skadi glanced at her, then suddenly smiled, revealing a happy smile.

Kotori Itsuka was taken aback when she was suddenly teased by her, and then looked at her with even more disgust.

"I have never seen a more detestable person than you."

"Ah."

Skadi remained calm despite her dislike.

"Itsuka Kotori".

"If you don't want to stay in this world, don't want to see me, and don't want to be an agent, I can send you to another world to live."

live."

"The environment there is similar to where you live, so you'll adapt quickly once you get there."

"If you don't want to, or if you have other ideas, you can stay here for now."

"It's fine to live with San San."

After Skadi finished speaking, she leaped off the roof.

When Kotori Itsuka reached the rooftop and looked down, she couldn't see her.

"Three three..."

"A very intimate term of address."

"It seems you've already sided with her."
