It felt like a fire was burning in my throat, and my eyes instantly turned red.
The doll princess revealed her most vivid and sorrowful expression, a grief more poignant than any falling pear blossoms.
It was at this moment that the man's scarlet eyes swirled and unleashed their power, the illusion from another world piercing her mind.
Unable to control her weakened state any longer, the girl collapsed backward, overwhelmed by a wave of sorrow.
When her companions rushed forward, there was no one there.
"……here it is?"
Standing on a calm stretch of water, Ais, dressed in a snow-white dress, walks barefoot and gazes into the distance.
She must have entered a dream.
And here, is a dreamlike space.
"Long time no see, my princess."
A gentle voice sounded behind her, and she turned around, no longer wearing armor and carrying a sword.
There, Eugene, having shed all pretense, revealed an unprecedentedly radiant smile.
Is Ais in 310 going to turn into a yandere?
The water shimmered like a silver mirror; apart from the ripples at one's toes, it was impossible to distinguish between the sky and the earth.
If Ais hadn't known that she had personally ended his life, she wouldn't have been certain that this was not reality.
She felt unusually light; she had no sword, no armor, and even the weight of her dress was imperceptible.
And ahead, the man was just as clean.
They stood in this dreamlike world, gazing at each other across time, their eyes seemingly transcending the boundaries of time.
"Long time no see, my princess."
A simple greeting stirred up a storm around Ais.
Her golden hair danced like fluttering silk, and hot tears uncontrollably streamed down her beautifully shaped eyes.
Long time no see, long time no see.
She should have never heard those words again in her life.
Although she didn't know the reason, Ais's heart was indeed filled with joy and excitement because of the gentle and calm "480" voice.
The emotion that could be described as the feeling of something lost and then found caused the girl's whole body to tremble slightly.
She took a step with her snow-white feet, instinctively moving closer to the man, but hesitated and withdrew halfway.
"sorry."
Ais met Eugene's eyes, which were no longer complicated. These were the words she had always wanted to say, and now, whether it was a dream or not, she had to tell them to him.
She felt that before these words and this sentiment were conveyed, she was not worthy of getting close to Eugene.
For the sake of a quirky and innocent little girl, he endured countless hardships to return to that day, only to be met with a sword piercing his chest.
Ais tried countless times to put herself in others' shoes, but each time, the immense grief and regret made it hard for her to breathe.
"why?"
Eugene smiled faintly and put his hands on his hips: "That day was not a mistake, not for me, not for us, not for the world."
"It is actually an opportunity to correct mistakes."
The more composed he was, the tighter Ais's heart clenched: "But, you did this for me..."
"It's alright. To that silly boy, he was already dead the day the princess fell."
"A piece of wood that should have silently returned to dust is extremely lucky to be able to burn once before it dies."
Eugene's words were sincere and straightforward, which made it impossible for Ais to say anything sad. She pursed her lips, and the emptiness in her heart was not filled in the slightest.
In the end, she couldn't forgive herself.
The only bridge connecting her and him was the sword that pierced his heart.
To risk one's life for something, this tragic way of entrusting one's will, if embellished with "love," is the most sublime tragedy in the world.
"I think I can never forget you."
Clutching her chest, the girl's embroidered brows furrowed, and her voice gradually choked with sobs.
"Thank you for showing me for the first time what love should be like and what miracles it can do."
"But you shouldn't have disappeared so quickly."
Suddenly, large tears splashed down, creating ripples. In this empty space, Ais seemed to be an emotional embodiment detached from her body, revealing all her thoughts without any concealment.
For the first time, I felt interested in someone else's sword; for the first time, I experienced breaking through the boundary between life and death; for the first time, I made progress.
The first time I tossed and turned, unable to sleep because of someone of the opposite sex; the first time I was completely deceived; the first time I came so close to death…
Although they only met twice, they were given many precious firsts.
Such an intense experience is unforgettable, unignorable, and unrepeatable.
I couldn't help but be moved...
If only you were still here.
Ais's emotions were shaking Shui Tian; the feelings that had been fermented by memories time and time again had expanded so much during this period.
In that case, perhaps I really will fall in love with you.
No, I should say I was destined to fall in love with you.
A breathtakingly heartbreaking scene unfolded before his eyes, leaving even Eugene, who had seen all sorts of beauties, in a daze.
His expression froze, his eyes widened slightly, as if he wanted to imprint this scene into his memory.
Tsk, if I bring up what happened today in the future, will she be so desperate that she'll hunt me down?
Since Eugene is the female protagonist with the highest difficulty in winning her over, he must make full use of his methods to make her fall for him in the most unexpected way.
He had planned this for a long time.
Since I casually made up a story about a future experience earlier, and since I've traveled through time, who hasn't had a past?
"...I'm sorry."
He sighed deeply, clearly moved: "Perhaps I was too selfish. I wanted to take those memories with me and disappear, but in the end, I couldn't hold back when I faced you."
"But thankfully, we're all young."
This statement is quite subtle.
Ais seemed to understand something and raised her head. Her pretty face was covered with tears, but her eyes shone with hope.
We are all young.
Yes, the past and the future are connected.
Where there is a future, there is a past.
Where I am, you will be too.
"Although it's a complicated and ill-fated relationship, I don't want to get out of it now."
Eugene's lips curled up again, revealing a mischievous grin that seemed to thrive on chaos.
"Come find me. My story with her is over. From now on, it's just you and me."
His figure gradually faded and blurred, a phenomenon that terrified Ais once again. She wanted to rush forward, but Eugene stopped her in place.
Remember when I told you not to dwell on the past?
"This time, it's your turn to seize the future."
The sound merged with the heavens and earth, and Eugene's figure gradually dissipated.
"Oh, by the way, you'd better hurry up, after all, I was quite popular with women when I was young."
"If you're not careful, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
No.
No matter what, I don't want to regret it anymore!
The flame in her heart reignited, and Ais felt her motivation soaring like never before.
I will find you, catch you, and never let you go again!
Even if it means using force, I will stay with you forever!
If you refuse, I will—
"Ais?"
"Ais!"
Wow!
Just when she was about to become yandere, a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, waking the girl who was struggling in her dream.
With wide eyes, Ais was astonished to see 4.1, surrounded by her fellow members of the Familia.
The unharmed Tionetiona, Riveria, Lefia, and the other girls waiting on the thirty-fifth floor all cast concerned glances at them.
According to their description, for some reason, Ais, who had been breathing evenly and fast asleep, suddenly started saying things that were hard to understand, such as kidnapping and stalking, and she also showed a strange, eerie smile.
"Hey, what did you dream about?" Having finally made it back here, Riveria's heart started clenching again.
Is this girl possessed by some kind of evil spirit?
After being scrutinized by the madam's wary gaze, Ais could only lower her head in embarrassment.
What can we do now?
If those secrets were actually revealed, they would probably scare Riveria half to death!
After all, elves, who are quite conservative in this regard, cannot accept such a wild and unconventional approach as a yandere/darkened character!
311 is coming! That woman is coming!
In order to take care of Finn and his companions who had escaped death, the Loki Familia chose to rest and recuperate in place for a while.
