One hour and thirty minutes.
An hour and a half after leaving the Amuro Residence, Ikeda Sachi pulled down his baseball cap, got off the bus, and hurried through the streets of Kawagoe City in Saitama Prefecture.
He wondered if the police were watching him…
With his face hidden beneath a mask, Ikeda Sachi felt calmer than yesterday.
Or rather, all the raging madness was now hidden beneath a calm surface.
He picked a noodle shop to have lunch, intending to fill his empty stomach.
While waiting for the chef to cook, he focused his mind on his ability.
A perfectly replicated Japan appeared before his eyes, and his body seemed to turn into a spirit body, swiftly gliding through the burning city.
Originally, he had planned to drag that bastard Yuki Asahi into the space and torture him thoroughly, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Jian Yue to be there as well.
Pulling people into the space couldn’t target individuals—it was range-based—which was also why all those police officers had disappeared.
So, he didn’t start torturing Yuki Asahi right away.
After going through disbelief, screaming, and violently smashing everything in front of him, he finally calmed down to think about what to do.
First, he definitely couldn’t let himself be caught by the police or that so-called Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu—who knew what kind of supernatural powers they might use against him.
His own ability was so mysterious; other people’s probably weren’t much weaker.
At the very least… at the very least, he wanted to finish tormenting Yuki Asahi before getting caught!
His consciousness, in spirit body form, had just arrived at an apartment in the North District when Ikeda Sachi witnessed a heart-wrenching scene—two people actually hugging each other, and judging by the movement, it was Jiang Jian Yue who initiated it.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Instinctively, he shouted out.
***
“Ikeda!”
Yuki Asahi saw Ikeda Sachi suddenly appear in the room and immediately understood that this kid was behind everything.
Jiang Jian Yue quickly let go, looking warily at the floating spirit body, feeling a bit annoyed inside.
So it really was Ikeda Sachi’s ability.
Ikeda Sachi ignored Yuki Asahi and instead looked at Jiang Jian Yue, his eyes filled with an unerasable admiration and concern as he asked softly, “My Princess, did this bastard lay a hand on you?”
What nonsense, and besides, if anyone was “making a move,” it was me!
Jiang Jian Yue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Judging by the situation, Ikeda Sachi’s feelings for her hadn’t lessened.
Maybe she could use that.
“Is this your ability?”
Jiang Jian Yue didn’t answer Ikeda Sachi’s question, but asked her own.
“Yes, Princess, this is my ability.”
A sickly blush appeared on Ikeda Sachi’s cheeks, clearly excited to be speaking with Jiang Jian Yue, his body trembling.
“Explain in detail.”
Jiang Jian Yue had never seen such a… indescribable person before, and felt a physiological rejection, but still managed to force out the words.
“This is my Body Space, a completely replicated Japan, and the flow of time with the outside world is one hundred to one.”
One hundred to one?
Jiang Jian Yue quickly calculated in her mind: that meant only about a hundred minutes had passed in reality?
Calculating the time from when Ikeda Sachi escaped last night to when they finished lunch in the morning, it had been over ten hours…
Those police officers dragged into the space had already spent more than forty days?
“What about those police officers?”
Ikeda Sachi was slightly taken aback, a bit curious about how Jiang Jian Yue knew so much.
“They’re all dead.”
Yuki Asahi’s eyes flickered with anger, clenching his fists before suddenly lunging forward, throwing a punch at Ikeda Sachi—
But he passed right through Ikeda Sachi’s body.
Ikeda Sachi’s face twisted into a mocking smile as he cursed, “Idiot, in this world, I am God. Do you think you can hurt a God?”
Do you want to become a Shinmei too?
“Damn it!”
Yuki Asahi fell to the ground, slamming his fist hard into the floor.
“Can you let us go?”
Jiang Jian Yue realized Ikeda Sachi could still communicate, so she asked with a trace of hope.
“My Princess can leave at any time…”
Ikeda Sachi’s expression was originally filled with deep affection, but suddenly twisted into a sinister grin.
“But that guy can’t.”
Tch.
This was troublesome.
Jiang Jian Yue would never leave alone.
But this ability was too unreasonable, wasn’t it?
Her mind raced, searching for any way to break Ikeda Sachi’s ability.
Yuki Asahi got up and moved beside Jiang Jian Yue, speaking softly, “Senpai, maybe you should leave first?”
“Don’t get close to her!”
Ikeda Sachi was furious, his hair floating from anger.
The kitchen’s western-style knife suddenly floated in midair, stabbing straight towards Yuki Asahi’s back.
Swoosh—
Jiang Jian Yue raised her hand to block behind Yuki Asahi.
The western-style knife pierced her hand, passing right through.
“Ah!”
Ikeda Sachi’s pupils trembled. It felt as if the knife had pierced his own heart, tearing it apart.
“Why? Why would you do that for this bastard…”
Ikeda Sachi bit his lip tightly, his voice trembling as he shouted, “Could it be! Could it be you’ve really fallen in love with this guy?!”
Calmly pulling the knife from her palm, Jiang Jian Yue shook her head at the Golden Eyes looking at her with guilt and pain.
Her extraordinary wisdom came up with a solution.
“Yuki.”
Jiang Jian Yue took a deep breath and spoke softly, “Are you willing… to die with me?”
Yuki Asahi froze for a moment, then nodded firmly.
“I am.”
Good.
If she bet wrong, she wouldn’t feel guilty.
Fortunately, she hadn’t brought the bodyguards, or the burden on her hands would be even greater.
Her wound healed quickly, a wisp of white smoke rising.
Then, she stood on tiptoe, pressed down on the back of Yuki Asahi’s neck, pulled him in front of her, and kissed him.
“What? Aaaahhhh—”
Ikeda Sachi screamed a non-human wail, bloodshot eyes bulging.
A roaring sound exploded in Yuki Asahi’s mind, followed by a tidal wave of ringing—his lips trembled, nearly touching the girl’s pink lips, feeling the heat from her nose brush against his face, tickling.
Those blood-red eyes were calm as water just a breath away.
Yuki Asahi’s chaotic mind slowly calmed, feeling only the heavy pounding of his heart.
Is this acting?
Their angle of kissing happened to block Ikeda Sachi’s view—a classic “borrowed scene” from dramas.
But Jiang Jian Yue’s next move was the real performance—after a few moments, her hand slid down from the back of his neck, caressing his shoulder, then pressing against Yuki Asahi’s chest.
As her heels returned to the ground, Jiang Jian Yue rested her head on Yuki Asahi’s chest.
Cuddling against him like a small animal, she glanced at Ikeda Sachi, then spoke softly.
“We’re already adults now.”
“Didn’t sleep well last night.”
Her other hand gently touched the dark circles under her eyes, then rested on her lower abdomen.
“Forgot about safety measures…”
A cute blush spread across Jiang Jian Yue’s cheeks, her cold expression melting into a gentle smile. She looked up at Yuki Asahi with emotional eyes.
“Yuki, you’re going to be a father.”
“Kwaa—no! Nooo!”
