When Fang Zheng opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

The sun shines in from the window and falls on the ground. Scattered clothes can be seen everywhere, and there is a strong smell in the air...

"call……"

Standing up, Fang Zheng took a deep breath, and then looked at the sofa. At this moment, Kuang San closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. But it was no wonder, Fang Zheng had tossed the girl in his arms for most of the night last night. For the girl, it was her first time after all, and no matter how much mental preparation she made, she could not withstand Fang Zheng's violent attack. So many times, Kuang San screamed to the peak and fainted directly. Even so, Fang Zheng had no intention of letting her go, but continued to greedily enjoy the body in front of him until he woke Kuang San up from her coma again.

After repeating this process several times, Kuang San finally couldn't bear the beating and completely lost consciousness. Only then did Fang Zheng finally let her go...

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you are really amazing..."

Along with this voice, a series of laughter emerged. Fang Zheng turned around and saw several Kuang San wearing spiritual clothes walking out of the shadows. They looked at Kuang San who was sleeping on the sofa with complicated expressions, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I never thought that there would be a day when 'I' would be conquered by a man..."

"But isn't 'my' expression funny?"

"Huff, huff, huff... Mr. Fang Zheng was really a beast last night. I don't know how I managed to survive..."

Looking at the clones surrounding the original body and talking about it, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. This style of painting was so weird that he didn't know what to say. At this moment, Kuang San, who was wrapped in bandages and looked like she was cosplaying as a mummy, walked out of the shadows and interrupted the conversation of the other clones.

"Okay, 'we', it's time to take 'me' back and clean up. We can't let her meet Mr. Fang Zheng in such a miserable state."

"Huff, huff, I see... Then... see you later, Mr. Fang Zheng."

After saying this, the clones grabbed the original body and sank into the shadows.

“Haha…”

After entering the dark shadow world, the real body of Kuang San, who seemed to be sleeping, finally opened her eyes and let out a long breath. Seeing the appearance of Kuang San's real body, the other Kuang Sans around her couldn't help but chuckle.

"Good morning, 'me'. It looks like you've been tortured pretty badly by Mr. Founder."

"Isn't this your fault?"

Hearing the clones' words, Kuang San glared at them fiercely.

"We clearly agreed that once I take the initiative, we would rush forward and knock Mr. Fang Zheng down, but why didn't you act according to the plan?!"

"this……"

Faced with Kurumi's dissatisfaction, the clones looked at each other and answered hesitantly.

"Because Mr. Fang Zheng was so scary at that time."

"I've heard that men can turn into wolves, but that's simply Fenrir."

"Even if it's us, I'm afraid we will be swallowed up by the other side, skin and bones."

"We also need to think about our feelings, 'I'. After all, we are just young girls who have not experienced much of the world. Faced with such a scene, we will naturally hesitate."

"Besides, 'I' didn't take the initiative."

"I was pushed down by Mr. Fang Zheng at the very beginning."

"She was being toyed with like a doll, making shameless noises and even drooling."

"He even begged for mercy. This is the first time I've seen me in such a state of disgrace."

"When I think about myself becoming like that, I still feel a little uneasy."

Although the clones seemed to be making excuses, after hearing these excuses, Kurumi's expression became more sinister.

"So you would rather die with your fellow Taoists than with me?"

"this……"

Faced with the original's questioning, the clones blushed in embarrassment and lowered their heads.

"We are also innocent girls. Compared to such intense play, don't we want to be treated more gently? Just like a prince and princess..."

"'I' no longer have a chance, but 'we' still have one..."

“Ooooooo…!”

Hearing this, Kuang San immediately raised her eyebrows, and the clone who had just spoken out of turn said "Ah" and reached out to cover her mouth. She instinctively stepped back, but the other clones around her quickly separated, pretending to be "I don't know her and I don't understand what she is saying."

At the same time, Kuang San also slowly stood up, and the red and black spiritual outfit appeared on her body again. Then, Kuang San tightly grasped the musket in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a dangerous smile, she walked towards her clone step by step.

"So what do you mean? 'Me'? I'm the only one who got treated miserably, and you guys still want a gentle and beautiful memory? Don't be so self-righteous! You sneaky cat!"

"Wait, what is a stealing cat?"

Hearing this, the clone that was being stared at by Kuang San suddenly screamed.

"I am you too, 'I'! Think about it carefully. If I have the romantic memories of a good time that you don't have, wouldn't it be the same as you getting them?"

"…Do you think so too?"

Facing the clone's explanation, Kuang San's expression became more sinister. She turned her head and stared around her like a demon. When the clones noticed the original's gaze, they took a step back and shook their heads.

"I don't have such an idea."

"Yes, 'I', after all, we are just your shadows. As long as it is something you wish for, we are willing to do it no matter what it is."

"Hey? Wait, wait a minute, we are all companions! Wasn't what I just said the voice of 'us'?"

Faced with the unexpected betrayal of the other clones, the other Kuang San's expression became more and more embarrassed. After hearing her questioning, the other clones quickly chose to distance themselves from her.

"No, even though it's 'us', it's a bit too much to compete with 'me' for a man."

"The mouth is the source of all trouble. 'I', this is your karma. It has nothing to do with 'us'."

"That's right. We have never thought about snatching Mr. Fang Zheng from me."

"On the contrary, you actually want to cheat on your own man. Don't you think it's a bit rude?"

Hearing the accusations coming from all around the clones, the face of the three clones in front of him turned even paler.

"You, you guys plotted against me! It was obviously you who were the first..."

“Click.”

However, before the clone Kurumi could finish her words, a gun was already pointed at her forehead. She turned her head tremblingly, only to see the real body in front of her looking at her with a "gentle" smile.

"You have already realized it, 'I'."

"...Yes, please be gentle..."

"wishful thinking!!"

"Bang!!"

When Kuang San came out from the shadows again, she had returned to her original appearance, except...

"Sister Kuang San?"

Looking at Kurumi who was limping, Shion couldn't help but blink in surprise.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

“Ah, Yoshino…”

Hearing Yoshino's question, Kurumi gave an awkward smile.

"It's nothing. I just twisted my ankle accidentally when I was walking... It's not a big deal... Don't worry."

As she spoke, Kuang San cried secretly in her heart. She could have used the power of the Four Bullets to reverse her time. In the past, Kuang San used this method to heal her injuries. But this time was different! If she used the Four Bullets, her body would be reset to before last night, which meant that after this, she might have to experience that kind of pain again... Although it was indeed a rare experience for a woman in her life, once was enough!

"Yoshino? Kurumi? You came just in time."

Just as Kuang San was sighing in frustration, Fang Zheng, who had changed his clothes, came out and nodded to the two of them.

"I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"About what we're going to do next."

Hearing this, Yoshino and Kurumi's expressions suddenly became serious and solemn.

When the two returned to the living room under Fang Zheng's guidance, Fang Zheng had already cleaned up the place. The traces of the fierce battle last night had disappeared without a trace, and everything had returned to normal. However... when Shion walked into the living room, she couldn't help but curl her nose in confusion.

"Wow...why do I feel like there's a weird smell?"

Hearing Yoshino's puzzled question, Fang Zheng and Kuang San couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem... maybe it's just your illusion. Okay, let's get down to business."

While forcibly changing the subject, Fang Zheng sat on the sofa and looked at the two of them.

"Shiono, I think you already know that what we have to do next is to use Kurumi's Twelve Bullets to go back to the past, and then completely wipe out the original spirit before it is born."

"Um……"

Hearing this, Shion nodded slightly. If it was the usual Shion, she would probably hesitate about this, but after reading Kurumi's memory, Shion no longer had any objection to this.

“But there’s a problem with that.”

Looking at Yoshino's expression, Fang Zheng knew that she had not thought about what it meant to destroy the original elves. Therefore, although Fang Zheng didn't want to say it, he still had to say it.

"You and Kurumi, if I'm not mistaken, both became spirits after being given spirit crystals by the original spirits... Yoshino, do you know what this means?"

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shion was silent for a moment, then her eyes widened.

"That... that is to say... if that elf lady disappears, I won't get the spirit crystal, nor will I become an elf..."

Having said this, Shiono clenched her hands tightly and looked at Fang Zheng anxiously.

"Then, will I disappear, Mr. Fang Zheng? I..."

"Don't worry, Yoshino."

Facing Yoshino's uneasiness, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"I have a way to allow you to continue to exist in this world, but... I need to ask for your opinion."

"My opinion?"

"That's right."

Hearing Yoshino's question, Fang Zheng nodded.

"If you refuse, then as you said, you will not get the spirit crystal, and you will not become an elf. You will continue to live in this world as a human, an ordinary girl. Maybe there will be a better future and tomorrow. So, what do you want to choose?"

"It's difficult. Can't I always be with you, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

“…That’s the second thing I want to say.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at Yoshino and Kurumi again, then he took a deep breath.

"After helping Kurumi fulfill her wish and destroying the original spirits, I will leave this world."

"……Why?"
