Chapter 67, Chapter 16: Kill them

"Are you kidding me?! Ouch..."

As Yuki Ayaka straightened up with a somersault, she was only halfway through her cursing when she bumped the back of her head on something hard with a pain, and quickly covered her head in agony.

Fuwa Ryuu, whose elbow was suddenly bumped: "...?"

She didn't expect that just because she came over to reach something in the bag by passing by Oriyuki Karin, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, Oriyuki Karin suddenly sat up.

Seeing that Yukiko Karin's eyes were welling up with tears from the pain, she asked, "Are you alright?"

"No, something terrible has happened!" Oriyuki Karin suddenly turned around and grabbed Fuwa Rui's waist, wailing, "Ah—Rui-nee! You have no idea how awful you are! We were fighting so well! And then you suddenly sent me back!!!"

Fuwa Ryuu remained silent for a moment.

This girl... just traveled back from another time?

So her method of time travel was simply sleeping?

No wonder everyone thinks she's gotten a bit carried away by writing too much fanfiction...

but……

"Isn't it a good thing that we don't have to get involved in the fight?"

Fuwa Rui is a very dedicated cosplayer, but outside of her work, she advocates slacking off whenever possible. The situation of leaving work early, as Oriyuki Karin mentioned, is a huge boon for her.

Karin immediately looked up, pouting at her: "No way! Ryuu-nee, think about it, the other side has Rimei, Ryosaku, and Hanami! Our side only has Bone Bro, Rika, Panda, and me, who haven't fully evolved yet."

Rimei, Lusuo, and Hanami face off against early-game champions like Yigu, Lixiang, and Panda...

Although I'm sorry, even Fuwa Ryuu feels that this game is a bit risky.

Karin was also extremely worried: "We were already losing to the other side! Now we've inexplicably lost one member, how are we supposed to fight now... Oh no, are we going to die here? Ah..."

Fuwa Ryuu: ": "

Honestly, with Oriyuki Karin's fighting prowess...

Fuwa Ryuu felt that there was probably not much use for her if she stayed there.

But I can't say that. If I do, Ayakari will definitely keep nagging me for ages.

She looked at the outfit that Shiki Ayakari was wearing, the custom-made outfit that everyone had arranged for her as the daughter of the Otsuki clan at today's gathering.

"So your identity this time is that of Yuuta Otsukoshi's daughter?"

Karin nodded: "Yes, the daughter of Kotori and Rika."

Because no one believed her every time she said she really wore it, and they just thought she was talking nonsense, so Shiki Akarin simply let loose and didn't bother to change her wording at all. She directly described the situation before she came back from a first-person perspective.

Just then, Ringo, a prop master who was passing by with a cup in his hand, heard this and stopped to praise, "Hisashi, you've already figured out the plot of this script? Amazing."

She even gave Yuki Ayaka a thumbs up.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Fuwa Ryuu: ": "

"It's okay, I believe you," she said, trying to comfort her.

Karin immediately hugged her again: "Waaah... Ryuu-nee, I knew you were the best!"

Bu Po Liuyi remained silent.

She had just heard Yuki Ayaka say this to Shiori Kirigakure from the voice acting team because the latter had bought her her favorite milk tea.

And... she could tell that Oriyuki Karin only thought that what she just said was to comfort her, and didn't really think that she believed her.

Fuwa Ryuu: "..."

Well, never mind.

Because she was so indignant, Karin Ooyuki vented her frustrations in one long, unrestrained rant.

The criticism focused on Gojou and Natsumi.

"These two guys are the strongest? They're such useless! I spoiled the whole brain-draining thing for them when they were in vocational school, and it's been ten years! Ten years and they still haven't managed to take down a brain-draining creature! What are their brains for?!"

"All you ever do is tear down colleges and universities! If you're so capable, go and destroy the villains' stronghold! Go and tear down all those rotten oranges! You're all muscle and brains, but you only use your brains to toy with students and obsess over grand principles! You're always messing around with all that nonsense. If you had that much time, the two of you would have unified the entire world of sorcery!"

"It makes me so angry! Every time! In the original story, every time something goes wrong, it's because there's a traitor among the sorcerers themselves! When it was Brother Jie's time, he could easily find out when and where Brother Gu was on a mission, and then he could just wait there for him! And it's still the same now that it's Brain Degeneration!"

"It's Yingji Juvenile Academy again, and Eighty-Eight Bridges again! Every time they get ambushed and cause trouble while we're on missions! What's the difference between them and the distillery next door? They're all riddled with holes!"

Fuwa Ryui listened to her cursing for a long time, wanting to leave but unable to. At 1.8 meters tall, she looked pitiful next to Oriyuki Ayaka, who was only 1.5 meters tall.

Because he was so emotional, his voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of some other members of the club who quietly gathered around. Eventually, it resonated strongly with some of his fellow members, and it turned into a rant session.

However, the criticism gradually deviated from the original topic of Yuki Aka and Karin, turning into pure criticism of the original characters, then into criticism of the original plot, and finally into insults against iivv.

After getting tired of criticizing, the original initiator, Shiki Ayaka, also withdrew.

She seemed to have gotten some satisfaction from yelling, but it didn't quite feel that good. Because all her yelling didn't actually hurt those two guys an inch!

Karin felt this wouldn't work, so she made a decision.

If she continues to travel through time and discovers that Bone Bro and the others are gone, or that Brain Flower is still alive—she'll definitely give Gojo Satoru and the others a shock.

As for now... all she can do is pray from afar that Etobun Yuta won't become Ash before evolving into Bone Bro.

well……

──

After the Curse Returns to the World, after Yuta Ootsuki and Karin disappeared, Ootsuki and Panda's attention was drawn to Rika's frantic screaming and digging.

Before they could figure out what was happening, a thick vine pierced through the panda's body with a soft "plop."

Upon seeing this, Yuuta's eyes widened in shock: "Panda!!!"

There was no response; the only response he received was the sight of the panda being thrown to the ground and never getting up again.

Of course, Lu Su wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. With the speed of a swallow, he rushed in front of Otsuku Yuta and swung his fist with his only remaining arm, aiming the wind straight at the back of Otsuku Yuta's neck—a very important but also very vulnerable part of the human body.

Even a powerful sorcerer like a sorcerer would not fare well after such a punch.

However, his fist did not land on Yuta's neck, but was caught by Yuta's backhand.

He wasn't the type with great strength, but fortunately, at this moment, Lu Su was only using the body of a female sorcerer. After Yi Gu You Tai poured enough sorcery into his hands, he gained the upper hand.

Unaware of what had happened to Oriyuki Karin, and having witnessed the panda suffer a severe injury, Yuta Otsuku's anger reached its peak.

"Rika, kill them," he said calmly.

His tone was extremely calm, but the magical power around him surged so violently it could even be described as violent.

"I will—kill you all!"

His eyes blazed with fury, and as he spoke, he gripped Lu Suo's fist and threw him to the ground.

Lu Suo's body spun rapidly in the air, looking for a foothold, when in the next second, Yi Gu You Tai's sword flashed.

The sharp blade was enveloped in a shimmering black light.

No, or rather... Yuta Etsu was completely enveloped in black light.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Numerous knife marks appeared on Lu Suo's body as he tried to escape Yi Gu You Tai's attack range, but to no avail.

As if a certain restraint had been broken, Yuta Otsukoshi unleashed all his power and speed.

As he swung his sword, streaks of blood flew out from Lu Suo's body. After being slashed several times, Lu Suo could only widen his eyes and look towards Hua Yu.

"Hua Yu..."

Hurry up and come help!

Hanami was naturally going to help, but just as she rushed over, Otsuku Yuta had already cut Rōsō's body in half with a single sword strike.

“You…” Until this moment, Lu Suo still couldn’t believe that he would be defeated by Yi Gu You Tai like this.

Without saying anything more to him, Yi Gu You Tai kicked his upper body away.

The severed body slammed into another wall across the street, creating a huge dent in the wall.

Turning his head, Yuta Otsuku, whose head was splattered with blood, looked sharply at Hanamichi who was rushing towards him. His resolute eyes seemed to say—you're next.

When Yuta was being cut in half at the waist, Rika on the other side also stopped her frantic digging search for someone after receiving his order.

"Kukanaru...Kukanaru...the child...the child is gone..."

Turning her head, she glared resentfully at Rimei, her scream so shrill it seemed to tear the sky apart: "It's all your fault!!! Give Kuuka back!!!"

Rime was also momentarily confused by the sudden disappearance of Oriyuki Karin, but she still understood some of the situation and knew that the child from the future should have gone back, but the cursed spirit in front of her did not know that.

Seeing Rika's irrational and frenzied state, like a mother who had lost her child, Rimei, though appearing quite calm, had a bead of sweat slide down his forehead.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous, it could even be fatal.

What exactly is going on with this cursed spirit?

He stared intently at Rika for a moment, then took a half step back, frost flowers forming at his fingertips as he adopted a fully defensive stance, the ground beneath his feet already covered with a layer of ice.

Sure enough, the next second, Rika's figure rushed towards him at lightning speed.
