Is this okay?

……

Meanwhile, the forum.

Kaneki Ken: Wow, things have developed to this point. Mo, is there anything you want to say?

Kazuma Sato: Although we usually joke around a lot, this time my conscience is really bothering me. Mo, what about you?

Stranger: Ah! Kurusi! Why do I feel like I've done something wrong? I was doing good from the beginning! Damn it! I can't accept this!

Homura Akemi: So even you have moments when you can't take it anymore.

Stranger: This is an unplanned situation, unacceptable!

Mana Ouma: Maybe we should give up. It's not really necessary anyway. Let's get serious from now on, since there's nothing to lose.

Stranger: Yes, there's no loss in giving up, and we can still get along harmoniously.

Altair: Isn't this great?

Stranger: But I refuse!

Sawa: What?!?

Stranger: The thing I hate most about strangecold is giving up halfway, because then all the work done before will be in vain!

Misaka Mikoto: It doesn't matter how you do it, okay...

Ningguang: Your efforts are completely unnecessary, okay? Stop worrying and just give up.

Stranger: Impossible! I, Strange Cold, am absolutely not the kind of person who gives up. No matter what, I have to reach an end! Whether it's good or bad, as long as the journey continues, I won't stop! I won't stop!!!

Homura Akemi: Actually, it's not a big deal if you stop.

Xiaoyuan-senpai: Why don't we talk about how to prevent things from getting worse?

Riku: In this situation, it's best for a third party to intervene and take down Amo in one fell swoop. That way, all of Yakumo Yukari's troubles will be gone.

Shu Ouma: Oh! As expected of Riku, having a brain makes all the difference. So, the question is, who is this third party?

Stranger: Let me make this clear first! The last mission is for Yukari Yakumo, so don't waste it!

Lani: My king always has some inexplicable obsessions...

Melina: ...

Kazuma Sato: Wait! SpongeBob realizes things aren't so simple.JPG!

Kaneki Ken: Oh! Even Squidward noticed.JPG

Shu Ouma: Hmm? Could it be! Mr. Krabs also cast a suspicious glance at him.

Tatsumi: Ta-da! Even Patrick Star noticed!

Madoka-senpai: Hiss!! ! Plankton has seen through everything.JPG

Kazuma Sato: Hehehehe...

Ken Kaneki: So...so...so...

Shu Ouma: Hehehehehe...

Xiaoyuan-senpai: hiahiahiahia...

Tatsumi: Hehehehe...

Homura Akemi: ? What are you laughing at?

Stranger: Something feels off, but I don't realize it. Lost in thought.

Ouma Mana: Little brother! Tell your sister!

Shu Ouma: Let me tell you offline.

Ouma Mana: Oh? Oh oh oh oh! Hehehehehe...

stranger:????

Why do I feel like there's a death star shining above my head?

Kazuma Sato: Brothers, assemble!

Tatsumi: Here I come!

Shu Ouma: Ohhhhh!

Kurumi Tokisaki: What's this all about? It's so interesting. I want to know too.

Sawa: Shall we go check it out? It looks interesting.

……

While Leng Mo was still completely bewildered, the others had already gathered together.

In another hotel in the same city.

Kazuma, Kaneki, Tatsumi, Shu Ouma, Mana Ouma, Kurumi Tokisaki, Mikoto Misaka, Sawa, and others all gathered together.

When Tokisaki Kurumi and her two companions arrived at the agreed-upon location, they found that the others had already arrived.

She looked at the smiling person with a puzzled expression.

"Is there anything you can't say inside the tire?" Kurumi Tokisaki looked at Kazuma strangely.

Upon hearing this, He Zhen's face lit up, and he explained with a grin, "Isn't it because A-Mo hasn't realized it yet?"

"So what's going on?"

"Didn't Amo say that the last mission was to be reserved for Yakumo Yukari?"

"Hmm, and then?"

"Doesn't that mean Amo can't possibly attack us now? But we're different. We don't care who gets the last mission. In other words, Amo is currently in a situation where we're hitting him and he can't fight back. He can only defend himself."

At this point, Kazuma's face contorted into a comical expression, and Kaneki, Shu Ouma, and Tatsumi beside him also joined in the amusement.

How could we possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

There was only one thing they needed to do: shut down Leng Mo!

Leng Mo decided in his heart to leave the last mission to Yakumo Yukari, which meant he would not take action against anyone else, because he wanted to secure the last mission.

This puts Leng Mo at a level where he dares not make a move against others.

Leng Mo didn't dare to make a move, but that didn't mean others wouldn't.

As long as a fight breaks out, Leng Mo can use this excuse to stop him from making a move, and then watch him look angry but forced to fight.

I'm so happy! I'm absolutely thrilled!

This was the flaw that He Zhen and the others noticed, but Leng Mo himself did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

Isn't this incredibly exciting?

"I see……"

Once she understood the situation, Kurumi Tokisaki's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but mentally complain.

You guys are gullible too...

but……

"Aren't you afraid that Amo will give up and do whatever he wants?" Sawa looked at Kazuma and the others with a strange expression.

Kaneki chuckled and said, "You don't understand. We can't possibly waste this mission. If we lose the mission, Amo will be like a wild animal that has broken free of its reins, and no one can stop it then."

"But! As long as we don't give him the chance, we can mock him while enjoying his angry yet helpless expression."

"That's exactly what I want. I'm going to launch a sneak attack, but I won't. I'm just playing around! Hehe!" Kazuma said comically.

"Oh! As expected of a 'gate'! To actually come up with such a ruthless method!" Tatsumi cheered in shock.

"That's really nice!" Shu Ouma gave a thumbs up and smiled, and even Mana Ouma next to him smiled excitedly.

"..."

Sawa, Tokisaki Kurumi, and Misaka Mikoto were speechless in response.

This is absolutely disgusting, both frightening and psychologically damaging.

But the thought that the object of his affections was Leng Mo made everything seem more reasonable.

After all, if someone is blocked, they will be blocked again.

What kind of gate is immune to being blocked?

When faced with a gate, we must fight back in the same way!

Stop him! Show no mercy!

"Should we not participate?" Sawa turned to look at Misaka Mikoto and Tokisaki Kurumi speechlessly.

“Agreed.” Misaka Mikoto nodded without hesitation.

"That's what I think too..." Kurumi Tokisaki sighed with mixed feelings, who knows what kind of chaotic scene will unfold next.

So...

Night, a night without the sun.

Inside a hotel that looks like a residential house.

Yakumo Ran quietly opened her eyes and lay tossing and turning; she was probably suffering from insomnia.

I can't fall asleep no matter what I think about what happened during the day.

Frustrated, she sat up and looked out at the night sky, only to vaguely see crooked words between the window frames.

It's utterly tragic.

She realized she had to do something; she couldn't let Yakumo Yukari forbid her from taking action.

The best solution she could think of right now was to kill Leng Mo, even if it meant sacrificing Gensokyo.

Only in this way can the current situation be reversed.

Although I don't know if I can beat Leng Mo, I know that if I do it, I will never be able to become Yakumo Yukari's shikigami again.

However, if she did nothing, she couldn't forgive herself for doing nothing.

In the end, Yakumo Ran got up.

She looked at the night sky outside, her heart filled with sorrow.

She's leaving tomorrow at noon; it's a long day.

She can't sleep now and feels like there's something she can do.

So she got up.

She quietly began tidying up the things she had bought during the day and left the house without alerting anyone.

Just then, Yukari Yakumo opened her eyes, sat up on the bed, and turned to look in the direction Ran Yakumo had left.

"Lan, don't make things difficult for me..."

She was lamenting to someone, perhaps without even realizing it herself at that moment.

Without lingering after leaving the inn, Yakumo Ran took the leftover ingredients from the daytime to the outskirts of town and began cooking.

She knew what Yukari Yakumo liked to eat, and she also knew what Yukari Yakumo disliked eating.

"Perhaps this is the last time I'll cook for Lady Zi."

Yakumo Yukari worked more intently on the kitchen utensils in front of her than ever before; she had decided to make her move against Leng Mo.

Only in this way can Yakumo Yukari have more opportunities.

If the coldness and indifference are not eliminated, there will surely be future troubles.

sizzle sizzle...

The aroma of the food filled the air, and a look of sadness crossed her face. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.

"Lord Zi...you must take good care of Cheng from now on."

At that moment, her eyes were filled with sorrow.

She understood what Yukari Yakumo meant, so no matter what, she decided to sacrifice herself to give Yukari Yakumo a chance to live.
