Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

"Nice to meet you, I am... Tokisaki Gamizo."

"I am Tokisaki Bao San, and my older sister, Kuang Kuang, has always been taken care of by you."

"I am Tokisaki Kanzo, it's nice to meet you."

"Um, I am... Tokisaki Kazuzo, please remember me."

Adam almost burst out laughing when he saw their serious self-introductions.

He pointed to the beautiful girl with a ferocious expression on the steps: "And who is that relative of yours?"

"Oh no! It's the real one!"

Several Kurumi who had quietly slipped out to watch the commotion simultaneously let out strange cries, casting shadows beneath their feet, as if they were about to leave.

But Adam waved to them.

He then took several of Kurumi's clones into his own private world.

Immediately, he whispered something in her ear while holding her close, then patted her shoulder, signaling her to stay by his side.

Kurumi Tokisaki looked over with a cold gaze and almost laughed in anger when she saw her clone looking like an obedient little wife.

Although these clones of hers are called clones, they are all essentially Tokisaki Kurumi.

However, they are all Kurumi Tokisaki from the "past," and they can all reflect what kind of person Kurumi Tokisaki was to a certain extent.

Am I hopelessly infatuated with love?

She couldn't help but question herself like this.

Because this isn't the first time this has happened.

Not long ago, another clone was on a date with Itsuka Shiori and was moved by the kind and honest girl. In particular, when she said that she would protect her and save her, the even more embarrassing clone was almost moved to tears.

That one time was fine.

What happened this time?

Was I so obsessed with men in the past?

"Tokisaki Kurumi."

Upon hearing the man call out her real name, Tokisaki Kurumi put away the cold expression that had arisen from her self-doubt.

She forced a bright smile: "I understand. That child has shared his memories with me. I understand what happened on the other timeline. Your childish revenge is cute, but it's not without reason."

"Oh? Tell me your conclusion."

"We've settled our scores."

"Interesting, Tokisaki Kurumi is such a reasonable person."

His expression turned unusually serious: "To be honest, I'm a little infatuated with you."

Kurumi Tokisaki had seen that expression before.

—That was the greedy expression she had once shown when she coveted the spiritual power within Itsuka Shiori.

He wants to possess me!

at the same time.

Kurumi Tokisaki felt it, just like an ordinary person being tempted by a demon and falling into its clutches.

She understood a little why her clone had fallen for the other person's kiss so quickly.

"Succubus..."

The girl murmured softly.

The other party doesn't seem like an elf at all.

It's more like a demon that lures elves into hell.

Do you like to eat crabs?

"?"

Faced with Adam's earnest question, Kurumi Tokisaki was momentarily speechless.

She never expected that in such a serious setting, the other person would ask such a nonsensical question.

"Ms. Tokisaki Kurumi, please tell the truth, do you like crab roe?"

"..."

Could this person be planning to treat me to a crab feast? Is this how they're going to launch their romantic pursuit?

That would be underestimating yourself!

However, the crab roe has a delicate texture, is slightly sticky, and has a unique umami flavor, which she really enjoys.

"Of course I like it, so what?"

Adam smiled: "That's great, I just happen to be a Cancer."

"..."

Crab roe is a combination of the male crab's dedication and organs.

Nima.

It wasn't the start of a relationship, but rather blatant and vulgar flirting!

Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes grew even colder and more ferocious.

However, she suddenly noticed that although Adam's cynical eyes were fixed on her, his gaze was clearly looking in a more distant direction.

It's as if one wants to see things from a more distant perspective through their own experience...

Everything before Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes gradually began to change strangely.

This is an abandoned parking lot not far from the casino, which has now been restored to its former glory.

But after a brief moment of transformation, it turned into a bustling construction site again, with workers sweating profusely passing by her every now and then.

Time seems to keep turning back on her.

Kurumi Tokisaki turned around in horror and saw countless versions of herself standing behind her.

Some of them are her silly, childish antics during a bout of teenage angst.

Some of them depict her bloody appearance when she hunts humans.

Many of them depict her before she became an elf. In one of them, Kurumi is climbing a tree and carefully taking a black cat down from a branch. Below the tree, Sawa Yamada is looking up at the tree with concern.

"This is...my past?"

Kurumi suddenly turned her head, wanting to question Adam about what he had done.

But she saw that the boy, who was more like a time sprite than herself, was squatting in front of a little girl with pigtails.

Dressed in expensive, fashionable children's clothes, they are exquisitely beautiful.

That was six-year-old Kurumi.

Under Kurumi's clear, bewildered gaze, Adam reached out and pressed his finger against her soft lower abdomen.

The light and shadow of time have vanished.

Everything is back to normal.

Kurumi Tokisaki's expression changed.

She reached down and touched her lower abdomen.

There was a pattern there that hadn't been there before, like a flower with petals extending to both sides. The moment she touched it, a slight stinging sensation accompanied by a tingling feeling spread along her nerves throughout her body.

What it is?

What has he done to his body in the past?

"Come out—what!?"

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki was about to summon her clones, she was horrified to discover that all the time clones belonging to the past had disappeared.

It was as if her past had been completely stolen away.

"Zeffects!!"

The chilling sense of dread left her no time for verbal probing. She immediately summoned an angel, and a huge, golden Roman-style clock face appeared behind her. She pushed off the ground and leaped high into the air.

Two flintlock muskets fired in succession.

Despite being a flintlock musket, every time a bullet is fired, a shadow is immediately drawn into the muzzle, completing the reloading in an instant.

A hail of bullets rained down on Adam.

However, the bullets passed through him without any hindrance, as if passing through a phantom, carving countless bullet holes in the walls and the ground.

Adam commented on her attack: "It's not even worth a hair on Mio Takamiya's head."

"Takamiya Mio!!!"

Upon hearing this name, Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes turned bloodshot.

Just now, she received information from Nia Honjo.

—The murmured chapter order cannot be retrieved for the original spirit, Mio Takamiya.

"You know where she is!?"

Tell me, tell me, tell me!!

Faced with the berserk Kurumi, Adam remained silent, extending one hand, much like the Buddha's palm in mythology that knocked down the Great Sage.

The shadow of death rapidly unfolded before Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes.

She smiled silently.

He fired his flintlock pistol one last time, but it seemed to have missed, hitting Kuang Kuang who was watching from the sidelines.

"what?"

That bullet was the Zafkiel's Eleventh Bullet.

A bullet that can send the target it hits into the future.

With the past erased, only this bullet leading to the future can save me from this unprecedented situation!

That's why she even entrusted the right to use the Zafkiel to someone else!

Entrusted with everything, Kuang Kuang looked at his true form with a complex expression before disappearing from that point in time in an instant.

He went wildly into the future.

The weakened Tokisaki Kurumi no longer had the ability to resist.

But to her surprise...

This origami counterpart from a parallel world neither killed her nor, as he claimed, stripped her clothes off and played with her.

He simply closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to her, in that brief moment, Adam had already traveled to the future and spent over two sweet years with Kuang Kuang.

The supreme deity restrains itself.

It encompasses both the self in countless worlds and the self on the timeline.

He is a god without past or future, an eternally unchanging "point" in the dimension!

"You taste absolutely wonderful."

Adam opened his eyes again.

As if he had just enjoyed a delicious appetizer, his desire for Tokisaki Kurumi remained, though the eagerness he had felt earlier was gone.

"Your obsession with Mio Takamiya is truly profound. I can tell you... huh?"

Adam suddenly shut his mouth.

He looked with some surprise at the spot where Kuang Kuang had just disappeared.

There, light and shadow danced.

A figure reappeared there.
