Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

[Alright, Chris, you don't know anything about defeat CGs, bondage and sadistic tentacles, or even pure love/NTR content. Go check out other sections now. Don't forget why you came to this website in the first place.]

After a brief period of self-hypnosis, Chris turned her attention to other sections. Having endured the torture of those strange texts, she felt she was ready to take on the illustration and video sections.

【Let me take a look at the illustration section... Pfft, phew, the test I expected, but it's absolutely impossible for me to back down at this level.】

Rubbing her cute nose, the white-haired girl with a rosy complexion looked at the content on her phone.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

"Excuse me, do you have any toilet paper? My nose seems to be cut."

After reading through the illustration and video sections, Chris, her face flushed red like a boiled crab, covered her nose and asked the black-haired girl next to her for help.

"Um?"

Hearing the voice from the side, Kohinata Mirai turned to look at the girl beside her, and immediately understood what had happened.

"Okay, wait a minute, here you go, Christina, you can take it and use it."

Then, she calmly took a bag of tissues from the drawer and handed it to Chris.

"Thanks, phew, I'm finally feeling better. Seriously, what is all this stuff? What were the people who created it thinking?"

After plugging the bleeding spot with toilet paper and banishing what she had just seen from the corner of her mind, Chris seemed to have fully recovered.

“Well, Christina, I understand that you’ve reached the point where you’re interested in that kind of thing, but it’s better to do it back in your room.”

Kohinata Mirai whispered a reminder to Chris.

"Wait, wait, you've misunderstood. I didn't specifically want to see those things. I just wanted to find information about my... well, my 'benefactor.' It's definitely not something I wanted to see!"

Hearing Kohinata Mirai's gentle yet caring reminder, Chris, who had just calmed down, became agitated again, trying to justify her behavior with reasonable explanations.

"Is that so? I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Christina, you're not that kind of person."

Seeing Chris's flustered state, Future smiled understandingly and said this.

"You, you know it, that's good."

Hearing the mention of the future, Chris, who had finally managed to straighten her tongue, breathed a sigh of relief.

P.S. The new Sky Striker card is surprisingly useful.

P.S. How come there are decks that seem to be celebrating the New Year every day?

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Like a Clam

"However, Chris said you're looking for information about your 'benefactor.' If that's the case, I have a suggestion. Chris, you should have already seen the place on the website where you can download games, right?"

After Chris calmed down, Kohinata Mirai said this.

"Ah, there is indeed a game download."

With Kohinata Mirai's prompting, Chris quickly noticed an icon on the webpage that said "Game Download".

Because of her preconceived notions about the website, Chris thought that the things downloaded from it might contain viruses, so she planned to browse other places first before downloading the game. However, she was so impressed by the content elsewhere that she forgot about this place for a moment.

"But why recommend this to me? Judging from the content in other sections, this should just be a regular, frivolous game, right?"

Chris asked the future in a somewhat confused tone.

"That's not the case, Christina. Actually, this game is the core product of this website. The other sections are just secondary creations based on this game."

In response to Chris's question, Kohinata Mirai simply shook her head and explained the concept to Chris in this way.

"Oh, is that so? So I was actually going back the same way I came!"

This was the first time Chris had ever heard this claim.

"Well, you can't say that. It's just a matter of the order of events. And no one says you can't get into the original work through fan works."

After thinking for a moment, he whispered this to Chris in the future.

"Never mind, as long as I play this game, that's fine."

No longer dwelling on the issue, Chris clicked to download the game, and soon a download progress bar appeared on her phone.

"So slow, no, it's so big! How can this game be so huge? What's inside?"

Although a download progress bar appeared, it moved much slower than Chris had imagined. Only then did Chris realize that what she had thought was just a small game was actually surprisingly large to download.

"Actually, at first everyone just wanted to make a small game, but after hearing about it, more and more people came to participate, and the scale kept growing until it turned out like this."

Future explained to Chris with a smile.

"...So what exactly did she do?"

Listening to the future's explanation, and looking at the game that would take a full half hour, Chris couldn't help but ask in confusion.

As Chris learned more about her, she discovered that Zero seemed to be far more popular than she had expected.

"Chris, you don't know? That's strange. Didn't you have the same 'rescue' experience as us? If you were rescued like that, you should know about that incident, right? It was a big deal back then."

Upon hearing Chris's question, Future asked with some confusion.

"Well, um... I'm sorry, I've only met her once by chance, and I don't know much about her."

Seeing the suspicion on Future's face, Chris couldn't help but feel nervous. She tried to cover it up by saying that if she knew what had happened before, she wouldn't need to visit this shady website.

"We met once by chance, and I know very little about each other?"

Future tilted her head and looked at Chris with a puzzled expression.

"We just met once by chance, so I really don't know what she did."

Under the watchful gaze of the future, Chris felt even more nervous, her tone tinged with panic, while she prepared herself to ask Zero for help.

"..."

Upon hearing Chris's words, Mirai fell silent, seemingly deep in thought, her gaze calm as she looked at Chris.

"Chris, when did you meet her?"

Just before Chris's mental state was about to reach its limit, Kohinata Mirai asked Chris a question with a serious expression that made Chris's mental state even more explosive.

How am I supposed to know when I should have seen her?

Chris was in a state of confusion, and with such a huge information asymmetry, she had no idea how to answer.

Anyway, I should ask Lingyi first, tell her what happened, and see how I should respond. Lingyi, are you listening?

Faced with this predicament that overloaded her brain, Chris chose to request assistance from an external brain. So, she pretended to be thinking and mentally dialed Zero's telepathic communication.

"Huh? If you ask me, don't you feel even the slightest bit uneasy about using other people's images to create such shameful things?"

Have you ever thought about what the creator would think if she saw these unspeakable things? No, you haven't; you only care about your own enjoyment!!!

【What do you mean I don't understand? How can I not understand what she's thinking? I, I, I!!】

Just as Chris connected with Zero's telepathic communication, she heard long, drawn-out messages from the telepathic communication, filled with emotions like a volcano about to erupt.

To be honest, since this meeting, Chris had never seen Zero express such strong emotions as she did now, which completely overturned her impression of Zero as a quiet and composed person.

[Um, Zero, what are you doing? Do you have time?]

Although she was deeply disturbed, Chris felt that if Zero didn't give her advice, she would be completely overturned.

【…】

As if they had heard Chris's voice, the irritable voice that had been coming through the communication instantly disappeared.

[Zero Clothes?]

In an awkward silence, Chris called out again.

【Ah, Chris, I'm sorry. I saw something unclean and had a friendly conversation with some people, so I got a little emotional. Is there anything I can help you with?】

Shortly after Chris asked, Zero's voice came through the communicator, sounding as if she had returned to her usual calm state.

Well, here's the thing.

Chris then recounted her current predicament to Zero.

Is that so? Why do they all seem to enjoy causing me so much trouble?

After Chris explained, Zero understood her predicament and unconsciously rubbed her forehead to relieve her headache.

In short, just use vague and ambiguous statements to get by. I remember that what I did before was limited to Japan, so just say that you were rescued by me abroad and don't know anything about things in China. As for the time period, just say something like 2035 or a later year.

Despite feeling immense pressure, Lingyi couldn't neglect her work, so she offered Chris advice that wouldn't lead to any major mistakes.

Okay, I understand.

With Zero's advice, Chris felt more confident.

P.S. Goodnight.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Mysterious and Unpredictable

[It's been a bit long. Christina thought about it for a long time. Does it really take this long to recall something?]

While Chris was enthusiastically discussing countermeasures with Zero, Kohinata Mirai already had such doubts in her mind.

"Um, if my question is difficult for you, Christina, you don't have to answer it."

After thinking for a moment, she spoke in a slightly apologetic tone.

"After all, this isn't a particularly important issue. If it makes you uncomfortable, Christina, then forget about it."

In the future, he would add in this understanding way.

"Hmm? Oh, no, it's not that difficult, it's just that it happened a long time ago, and it took me some time to recall the details."

Upon hearing the words about the future, Chris was taken aback for a moment, then immediately spoke with a slightly urgent tone, as if she were being compelled by something.

"Is that so? I thought my question was a bit too difficult. So, Chris, when did you meet her?"

Seeing Chris say that, Future breathed a sigh of relief and asked again. She thought that Chris's silence meant that her question had touched on something that made Chris uncomfortable.

"This was probably six years ago. I was very young then. To be honest, if I hadn't seen the familiar photos here, I probably would have forgotten about it."

When questioned again, Chris was no longer as flustered as before.

"Ahem, the gist of it is that I encountered some terrible things abroad because of some issues, and she rescued me from that place. To be honest, I was quite surprised to see something related to her here."

Chris tried to recount the reasons why she knew Lingyi as naturally as possible, based on the information Lingyi had given her.

Six years ago?

After understanding Chris's story, Wei Lai seemed thoughtful, as if pondering the rationale behind Chris's words.

"Um, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Chris said, trying to calm herself down, unsure if there were any contradictions in her story.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I only found out now that Lingyi left the country after that."

In response to Chris's question, Future gently shook her head and said this.

"Yes, indeed, zero..."

Feeling that she had gotten through it, Chris nodded and prepared to say something casually.

"Uh, cough cough"

Just then, she suddenly felt something strange on her neck, and then her body coughed uncontrollably twice, interrupting her attempt to speak.

Chris, don't relax, and listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

Then, a familiar voice echoed in Chris's mind.

[Zero, what's with this all of a sudden?]

Feeling slightly dizzy from this sudden telepathic connection, Chris asked herself.

Don't worry about anything else, time is of the essence, just do as I say and get by.

Lingyi did not explain this, but instead quickly and precisely gave Chris a brief instruction on what she should do next.

"What's wrong, Chris? Are you feeling unwell?"

On the other side, seeing that Chris suddenly seemed a little off, Future asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing, I just choked on my saliva for a moment."

After shaking her head to calm the echoes of Zero's warning still reverberating in her mind, Chris explained in this way.

"Hmm, did you choke on your own saliva... Be careful, Christina."
