"My previous words were merely an excuse to keep Mr. Gu Yu here. He needs rest, and he absolutely must—you must share that sentiment, right?"

"...You're right, big brother is indeed too tired."

Kiana's expression darkened as she recalled Gu Yu's sudden fainting spell in front of her last time.

She really wanted her family to give Gu Yu a medical check-up, but at the same time, Kiana also knew that even if Gu Yu had beaten up Otto once, that man would definitely not let the two families return to their former status so easily.

Over the years, after Shaniat and Kaslana declined in power, Otto had already planted many spies and moles within them.

Kiana couldn't possibly eliminate all these spies at this time. If she did, the two major families would immediately fall into chaos after the spies were removed.

If, under these circumstances, she were to conduct a physical examination for Gu Yu—within ten minutes, Gu Yu's examination report would be placed on Otto's desk.

Otto is petty; he was beaten up last time, so he'll definitely hold a grudge against Gu Yu because of it.

Kiana didn't want to reveal Gu Yu's information to Otto because of her well-intentioned but misguided kindness, which would allow Otto to devise a plan against Gu Yu.

But that's precisely why she didn't want Gu Yu and Rita to get too close.

Selfish motives are one thing, but another reason is Rita's loyalty to Otto, which is evident to everyone in Schicksal.

Gu Yu was unaware of the woman's dangerous nature; if he were to get involved...

"But—even if my older brother needs to rest, I can't let him stay by your side!"

Kiana watched Rita on the hospital bed with extreme vigilance, then gently moved Gu Yu's body into a slightly more comfortable position before saying something rather irritating.

"I don't know what happened between you and your older brother, but even if he trusts you, I will never trust you!"

"It doesn't matter, Lord Shaniat. It's your business to take Mr. Gu Yu away, and it doesn't matter if you don't trust me."

Seeing Kiana's wary expression, Rita smiled, shrugged, and then continued.

"But we don't need to have any conflict regarding letting Mr. Gu Yu get some rest, do we?"

"Now, at least let him get some rest, okay?"

"Ok."

After moving a chair to the bedside, Kiana looked at Gu Yu's sleeping face and tenderly stroked Gu Yu's cheek.

"Big brother...you should take better care of yourself too..."

………………

After regaining consciousness, Gu Yu didn't think about anything and directly drew the Control Card Box Sword and slashed at the front of him.

【Clang!】

With a crisp sound, Gu Yu's control card box sword, just as he had expected, touched a weapon.

"Hey, partner. Your flaws are getting smaller and smaller."

After easily blocking the attack with his sword, the man in black sneered at Gu Yu.

"That day is getting closer and closer."

"Stop talking nonsense, you want to fight again, huh?"

After grabbing the card that automatically popped out of the card box, Gu Yu looked at the enemy in front of him with a solemn expression.

This guy's health regeneration speed is getting faster and faster...

No, in the end, was he really injured in all those battles?

Recalling the scenes she saw after each battle, Gu Yu always felt that she might have made a mistake.

"While I'd gladly oblige if you wanted to fight me, I'm not here to pick a fight today."

After tossing the sword and card holder aside, the man in black helplessly shrugged and shook his head.

"With such murderous intent all day long, be careful you don't scare away the cute girls outside."

"...Stop talking nonsense."

With a hint of annoyance, Gu Yu put the card back into the card box and stared at the man in black in front of her, voicing her inner question.

"What's going on? You're not just bored, so you dragged me in here to chat, are you?"

"It's just a question."

At that moment, the man in black suddenly appeared beside Gu Yu.

He looked at Gu Yu, and suddenly a serious expression appeared on his face, which was rare for him.

"It seems like you've been fighting non-stop ever since you arrived in this world."

"There are many battles you could have chosen to avoid. But for the sake of those who are unrelated to you, you still choose to stand up in the end."

"Think it over carefully, partner."

"Was it all worth it?"

If it were Gu Yu who had just transmigrated, she might have been confused by this sudden question.

However, when he recalled the smiles and cries of people who had survived the disaster on the streets of Chongqing, he instantly found the answer in his heart.

"After I fought and defeated the enemy, many people were laughing. I think that must be true."

"You ask me if it's worth it? That's a strange question—to bring so many smiles to so many people in one battle, it's definitely worth it, isn't it?"

"Heh... Interesting."

At that moment, Gu Yu suddenly felt the space around her begin to collapse.

Before his consciousness faded into darkness, he seemed to hear the man in black speak in a cold tone.

"So……"

"Just cling to your ideals and drown!"

Chapter 290. This World Is Doomed

After returning to reality from the realm of consciousness, Gu Yu felt a soft touch as if it were touching her cheek.

Then, after opening his eyes, he saw Kiana looking at him with a face full of heartache. He immediately got out of bed and gently removed Kiana's hand that was stroking him.

"How long have I slept?"

"...Only three minutes."

Kiana, who was already used to Gu Yu's shy behavior, sighed helplessly.

"Big brother, do you sleep so badly? Can't you sleep a little longer?"

I do want to, but the problem is that I don't know if I'll wake up when I go to sleep every day... How can I sleep peacefully like that!

His file couldn't possibly tell Kiana something like that.

After all, apart from those few girls chosen by the Honkai, no one else could understand how terrible it felt to have another personality stirring within them.

"Miss Kiana, please understand Mr. Gu Yu."

Rita, lying in her hospital bed, said to the two of them with equal helplessness.

"It's not that Mr. Gu Yu doesn't want to rest, it's just that..."

"This is the headquarters of Destiny."

"...Oh right, no wonder."

Without needing to say more, Kiana immediately understood the meaning behind Rita's words.

The headquarters of Destiny was well-built, and naturally it also had a reception room.

It's safe to say that if you dare to rest here, the rooms are definitely better than any other hotel in the world.

But the prerequisite is that you dare to do it.

Gu Yu and Otto Apocalypse, the leader of Destiny, have a conflict, and both of them know it.

In this situation, if he could truly feel at ease sleeping here...

When they wake up, they probably won't even know how many pieces they'll have turned into.

Oh, the probability is even greater that he will never wake up.

Rita originally intended for Gu Yu to stay with her, but of course she never thought that Gu Yu would fall into a deep sleep like this.

But now that Kiana is here, there's no need for her to pretend to be temperamental and leave this weary boy in this place.

Regardless of what she was thinking, Rita felt that the most important thing at this moment was to let the boy rest for a while.

therefore……

"Lady Kiana, I suddenly feel that it would be better for Mr. Gu Yu to leave the Schicksal headquarters with you, wouldn't you say?"

"Same here. Well then, big brother—"

After naturally taking Gu Yu's hand, Kiana grabbed Gu Yu's right hand without saying a word and dragged him out towards the door.

"—Don't disturb Miss Rita's recovery."

"Oh, okay—just remember not to do that again next time."

After saying those words without understanding why, Gu Yu felt like she had said them just a few minutes ago...

“I understand—and you are the only one who has no right to say that to me.”

After giving a curt reply, Rita closed her eyes slightly.

As Gu Yu followed Kiana out of the medical room, she suddenly felt that something was not right.
