Just then, he heard the sound of the door opening.

"The door is open? Could it be Sister Jing? No way, could a thief have broken in... Damn it."

With her head spinning, Xuehui turned her head and looked at the figure that had already entered the living room, her eyes widening slightly.

"You...have you always been wearing a kimono?"

"I'm used to it. Yukiteru-kun, is that all you want to ask me?" Saeko Busujima asked, looking at Yukiteru with a slight smile, whose chest was pierced by a dagger.

"Hmm...you're not going to do anything to me, are you?"

Not for now...

"That's good, I think so too." Xuehui nodded, slowly closing his eyes. "Miss, trespassing isn't a good habit. Remember to apologize to me when I wake up..."

After speaking, Xuehui fell silent, his breathing gradually slowing down, as if he had entered hibernation.

Stepping forward, seeing the blade completely embedded in her body and the absence of any blood, Saeko Busujima placed her hand against her chest to sense the situation.

"I've never seen this protective spell before. I don't know what you're planning to do, but you're certainly bold."

She stood up, clapped her hands, and two men in suits walked in and stood respectfully behind Saeko Busujima.

"Take him to the car, and be careful not to bump into him."

"Yes!"

The two bodyguard-like men carefully carried Xuehui's body and walked out of the house.

Saeko Busujima, who remained inside the house, walked around to make sure no switches were left on before leaving Yukiteru's house and slamming the door shut.

However, Xuehui's phone was left on the sofa in the living room...

Remember to close all doors, windows, and turn off the gas pipes before you leave home!

Chapter Eight Dialogue

Yukiteru, who had completely lost consciousness, was naturally completely unaware of all of this.

He is now in another place.

"It feels similar to last time, all white, just much smaller than last time." After settling into solid ground, Xuehui looked around and commented.

"After all, this place was temporarily set up to lock me up, how could they possibly give me a luxury room?"

Turning around, Xuehui finally saw the person he was going to meet.

The demonic flames emanated from her black dress, but her current appearance lacked the eerie and alluring charm she had shown in the dream. Instead, she resembled an ordinary girl who had been locked up.

Should I say, "Long time no see"?

"Indeed, it's been several months. But do you really want to see me?" Sitting in a pure white chair, Homura Akemi looked calmly at Yukiteru.

"If you weren't thinking about taking my body, I might be quite happy to see you like this every day." With this assurance, Xuehui felt much more at ease, walked up to the girl, and sat down in the chair that had instantly appeared behind him.

Are you here to erase me?

Looking at Yukiteru sitting opposite her with a smile on his face and an air of confidence, Homura Akemi asked without any emotion.

"To be honest, when I first learned of your existence and purpose, I did have such thoughts. After all, it's better to eliminate unstable factors as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Yukiteru observed Homura Akemi's expression: "Aren't you... afraid at all?"

"Afraid?" As if she had heard something amusing, Homura Akemi raised her head and chuckled softly. "Afraid? Do you know how many cycles I've gone through? I've experienced even the saddest things. What's there to be afraid of about death?"

Yukiteru was momentarily speechless. He realized that although Homura Akemi had transformed into a demon, her past experiences could not be erased, making her a truly tragic figure.

Looking at the silent Yukiteru, Homura Akemi sneered and said, "What, are you feeling sorry for me and can't bring yourself to kill me?"

"It's not that bad, but I need to think carefully about this solution."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xuehui deliberately kept her in suspense. Regardless of the final outcome, this should be the last conversation between the two of them.

"What's there to consider? Although I only bypassed your system's detection and interfered a little, I know very well that the system has no fewer than ten ways to kill me. Do you want my ability? You probably can't achieve that. My ability to stop time after becoming a magical girl is the embodiment of my soul. If you erase me, that ability will also disappear."

Shaking his head, Xuehui denied the other party's guess and said, "I don't care much about abilities. After all, I now have my own abilities, although they have a lot of staying power."

"Oh?" Homura Akemi's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. She knew that the other party had awakened his ability, which was the source of the current situation. Although she was residing in Yukiteru's body, she could not see the outside world unless he used his own ability. The only three opportunities she had were enough to let her sense a not-so-low level of energy in this world.

"Curious? Well, there are no side effects to using it here, but I can show you."

As he spoke, Yukiteru activated his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, his deep blue eyes emitting a ghostly light fixed on Homura Akemi.

When Yukiteru's eyes fixed on her, Homura Akemi frowned and instinctively spread her wings to shield herself. After the initial sense of danger subsided, she looked at Yukiteru and asked, "Strange eyes. If you had touched them just now, I feel like I would have disappeared from this space."

Xuehui closed his eyes, feeling a slight reduction in fatigue compared to reality, and explained, "The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can materialize the death lines of objects, and destroying them will destroy the object itself. There's a saying that goes, 'I'll kill even a god for you to see.'"

"Not bad ability, but it's all exaggerated."

Nodding in agreement, Xuehui did see a few scattered death lines on Homura Akemi's body when he first used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but those death lines disappeared when her wings covered them.

This also reflects that although his Magic Eye is a bug, it is not unbreakable. Abilities or items of the same level can potentially negate the effect of the Magic Eye.

"..." After considering for a moment, Xuehui asked, "Before you came to this world, what stage had things reached on your side?"

"Is this important? And why should I tell you?"

"There's no need to say it like that. After all, this might be the last time we meet. Wouldn't it be better to take some time to talk properly? If you want to know about things in this world, I can also exchange things with you, how about that?"

Xuehui thought about it and decided to continue to delay and observe to see if it was the right thing to do.

"The last time?" Homura Akemi murmured to herself, hugging her bent legs as she sat in the chair. "If you're willing to listen, I'll just say a little bit. In the beginning..."

Next, it's time for storytelling. Even if you already know some of the things, hearing them from the people involved always feels good.

Meanwhile, outside...

After an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of a huge traditional Japanese house in an affluent area of ​​Chiyoda, Tokyo.

Surrounded by luxurious villas, this large mansion stands out strangely, yet no one questions it, as if it were all perfectly natural.

The car paused for a moment, and the security personnel inside the mansion, having received the report, immediately opened the gates and let the car in. Along the way, the servants on both sides bowed respectfully upon seeing the car.

Finally, the car stopped at the end of the lane, the driver got out, went to the back seat, opened the door, and welcomed Saeko Busujima out.

On the other side, Xuehui, who was also unconscious and sitting in the back seat, was carried by two bodyguards and taken to a room in the house as instructed.

After arranging these things, Saeko Busujima changed her shoes and went to the dojo in the mansion.

Standing at the door, I knocked respectfully.

"Come in."

Carefully opening the door, Saeko Busujima entered the spotless dojo and knelt down before the only person sitting there.

"Teacher, I'm back."

The short-haired woman opened her closed eyes and asked calmly, "You brought him back? I sensed something strange about his presence."

"I don't know either. When I found him, he had already protected himself with a special technique, as if he was about to do something," Saeko Busujima replied respectfully.

"Is that so? Take me to see it." The woman said, standing up. She was wearing a traditional kimono, unlike Saeko Busujima's furisode.

Led by Saeko Busujima, the two headed towards Yukiteru Anchi's room.

The nameplate at the entrance of this grand mansion bears the words in sharp, bold handwriting:

The Two Elements House.

–––––––

Exams are over, and a brand new road menace is about to be born (laughs).

I have time this afternoon, so I'll focus on writing.

Chapter 9 Xuehui is missing

Led by Saeko Busujima, the two arrived at the residential area on the east side of the mansion and pushed open a shoji door to go inside.

The room was in a typical Japanese style, with tatami mats covering the floor. At that moment, Yukiteru was lying quietly on a made-up bed, motionless.

If it weren't for the faint breathing sounds that could be heard from time to time, people would have thought he was dead.

Kneeling down beside Xuehui, the woman placed one hand on Xuehui's chest and closed her eyes to sense the incantation on it.

"This is an unprecedented way of operating. All the vitality of the body is replenished by absorbing external free energy through a certain technique on it. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's like being in a state of suspended animation. Could it be because of his ability to summon spirits? I really don't know whether to say it's good luck or bad luck."

Thinking of this, she slowly withdrew her hand, opened her eyes, and revealed a pair of eyes similar to Yukiteru's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

"But this feeling can't be wrong. I really didn't expect that Mina's precognitive dream was real, a naturally awakened Mystic Eyes of Death Perception."

If Yukiteru were awake at this moment and saw this scene, he would probably suddenly realize that he had seen this person before. She was the woman he had met once in Roppongi. He hadn't paid attention to her because he only glanced at her briefly, and thus overlooked such a famous person.

Ryougi Shiki, the female protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai.

Of course, his current age is completely different, and his identity and background are also completely different. It's no wonder that Yukiteru didn't think about it back then, since in his subjective mind, this world has absolutely nothing to do with Type-Moon.

After observing for a while, Ryougi Shiki put away her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and said, "Let him lie here for now. Saeko, I'll leave the care of him to you."

"Yes, teacher." Saeko Busujima, who was kneeling to the side, nodded, then asked after a moment's thought, "Then...should we tell the young lady?"

How long until she comes back?

"Today is the young lady's classmate's birthday. She has been invited to a birthday party. Huang Quan sent word that she should be back after dinner."

Nodding, Ryougi Shiki stood up and said, "Then let's wait until she comes back and tell her. Also, the other observation subjects can be removed."

"I understand, teacher." Saeko Busujima nodded immediately, then went outside and took out her phone to make a call.

That night.

A luxury car drove into the mansion, and a little girl in a dress ran out and rushed into the house. On the other side of the car, Isayama Yomi, dressed in casual clothes, got out, looked at the girl, smiled, shook her head, and followed her inside.

"Mother, I'm back!"

With a big smile on her face, the little girl threw herself into Ryougi Shiki's arms.

"Are you having fun?" Looking at her daughter in her arms, Ryougi Shiki's unchanging expression showed a slight change.

"happy!"

At that moment, Yomi Isayama also entered from behind, bowed to Ryougi Shiki and said, "Teacher."
