"Actually, the darker the color and the higher the brightness, the more times they have been refined, and the closer they are to maturity. In other words..."

Kevin's cat-like eyes, which gleamed with an eerie light, contracted sharply; his primal instincts, hidden in his animalistic nature, made his hair stand on end involuntarily.

The more Spirit Crystal are refined, the more times the Spirit represented by the Ring Particle will be killed!

"Izayoi Miku, died 5 times..."

"The Yuyutsu Sisters, died 3 times..."

"Natsumi Kyouno, died 6 times..."

"KOTORI Itsuka, died twice..."

"Yoshino Himekawa, died 3 times..."

"This Nia Honjou, and I've died 7 times..."

"These are my hunting records, surprisingly so..."

Immediately, the coldness and sinister aura that Tokisaki Kurumi had shown for a moment were instantly concealed, and the gothic girl turned her gaze to the glutton and the master at the classroom window, her expression somewhat displeased.

"It's a pity that I haven't yet achieved the first kill on my prey list for the number 1 spirit, Tobiichi Origami; the number 10 Tohka Yatogami; and the number 6 spirit, Mukuro Hoshimiya, who 'Daoist Canon somewhere. What a shame..."

"How about helping me eliminate them, and using the Tree of Sephiroth to forge a perfect Divine Body for me? These eliminated ones are going to die anyway, so what difference does it make who gets the Spirit Crystal?"

"If the Mother Goddess who manipulates our fate can do it, why can't I?"

Nonsense, you've already taken down anyone you could handle. The remaining three are all overpowered. The last one to emerge, Tohka Yatogami, even managed to kill her own mother, Mio Sumiya. Aren't they all formidable opponents?

After making a sarcastic remark, Kevin glanced at Tokisaki Kurumi, who seemed to have turned somewhat ruthless. He immediately saw through her bluster and then lowered his head, letting out a soft sigh.

When dealing with someone who is arrogant or tsundere, you shouldn't look at what they say, but rather at what they do.

If Tokisaki Kurumi truly didn't care about the lives of these spirit sisters, why didn't she approach them discreetly, cultivate a good relationship on the surface, and then secretly eliminate them at a crucial moment?

As a result, this seemingly cunning and cold-blooded goth girl spent half the semester alone, even going to the rooftop to eat her lunch.

Perhaps the real reason is that she doesn't want to face the elven sisters she killed and who were reborn.

After all, according to her memories, this seemingly cunning and sinister gothic girl was actually a good girl who aspired to become a "Hero of Justice," wanting to save the world and change the tragic fate of her sisters.

Therefore, her inner guilt is the reason why she chose to distance herself from her classmates.

Perhaps those elves who were killed and reborn are lucky; at least they can forget their past misfortunes and Affliction.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi, who is somewhat unique among the spirits, has to remember every minute and every second that her hands are stained with blood, and that sense of guilt is impossible to wash away.

Kevin turned his head and glanced at Tohka Yatogami, who was playing around with Mana Takamiya and the others downstairs. He noticed a fleeting longing in Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes and sighed helplessly.

The urge to possess is ultimately suppressed by the fear of losing it.

If you haven't gained something, you don't care about losing it, which is why you can be decisive and take action when you realize your next goal.

Kevin suddenly felt a little sorry for Tokisaki Kurumi. He couldn't help but retract his claws and gently stroke the back of the girl's hand with his paw pads.

"Hey, I told you not to look at me like that. You were definitely cuter as a kid..."

"That's cute? That's just naive! They're completely fooled because of information asymmetry!"

"Looking back now, I feel like our meeting and Hatsune Miku's attack felt like a clichéd, poorly written script!"

Kevin rolled his eyes and retorted, deciding to temporarily skip the tragic drama of Tokisaki Kurumi and first gather information to consider a solution to the predicament.

"After school this afternoon, come with me to Amamiya City for a walk and help me find my body."

"I still think you look better the way you are now. How about we stay that way, Your Judgment Angel?"

Tokisaki Kurumi stroked the cat's head, a smug smile spreading across her face.

In a way, both of them were tricked by the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, so at least in terms of their allies, they have a natural affinity.

Furthermore, with the experience of Saint Fath as a foundation, after Kevin frankly revealed his identity, the rapport between the two began to gradually improve.

"My body should stay with the Holy Grail. It may be the key to deciphering the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Whether or not you can rewrite your destiny depends on it."

Are you sure you don't want to keep up?

Kevin's tone was low and seductive.

Tokisaki Kurumi hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on Kevin's claw with some regret, indicating that the cooperation between the two parties had been established.

As the school bell rang, the girl and the cat, having temporarily reached a consensus, returned to the classroom. The Yuyutsu Sisters, glaring at each other with sullen expressions, had no time to disturb Tokisaki Kurumi's peace and quiet.

Clearly, this match ended in a draw again.

As the sun began to set, another day of monotonous and tedious high school life was drawing to a close.

The drowsy students perked up at the sound of the dismissal bell, hastily packing their things to hurry home and fill their high school days with recreational activities.

"Kurumi, it's the weekend tomorrow, and we've decided to invite you over to our house to try our baked cookies! Let me tell you, when it comes to cooking, Kaguya is simply a genius! You'd better be prepared!"

"Correction: Kaguya burned down Mother's kitchen twice; he's a complete culinary idiot. Yuzuru will be the only winner."

"To reiterate, tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, at the Yamai House on 23rd Street, please remember to come..."

The Yuyutsu Sisters, who were always noisy, gathered around Tokisaki Kurumi after most of their classmates had left, and extended invitations based on their individual personalities.

Before Tokisaki Kurumi could even refuse, the two energetic sisters left their address, grabbed their bags, and ran out of the classroom.

"Since we're already searching Amamiya City, and we're just passing by, why don't we go check it out?"

Kevin, following the note with the address and phone number, whispered an encouragement to the owner Tokisaki Kurumi. The gothic girl, as if possessed, took the note and nodded slightly.

On the way, the cat looked up at the star-studded night sky and estimated that tomorrow would be a good day for travel, so it couldn't help but feel a little excited about the trip to the Yamai family.

Two twins competing to see who will be the older sister? This is quite different from the rather brutal survival competition I remember.

Yagami Yuzuru and Yagami Kaguya are spirits who split off from the same Spirit Crystal. They should have fought to the death for each other's uniqueness, but now it has turned into a game of make-believe.

Neither of the two children seemed to remember having the identity of an "elf," and their family and parents seemed to be symbols that did not exist in their original history.

As Kevin pondered the matter more deeply, for some reason, the cat's fur stood on end slightly, as if an eerie feeling was lingering in his mind.

Anyway, it's just a stroll, it should be fine. Even if there's a problem, Kurumi is still there, it's a minor incident.

Kevin gazed at the dark night sky, trying to console himself.

Meanwhile, at the Yamai family home, a woman with long, orange hair who was tidying up in the attic pulled a box with peeling red paint and a somewhat aged look out of the dust.

When the lid was lifted, inside were... two sets of clothes for a one-year-old baby... and underneath them, a yellowed hospital birth certificate.

Why is there only one? Did I lose either Kaguya's or Yuzuru's birth certificate? What an irresponsible Mother.

As the woman with long orange hair shook her head in thought, her heart suddenly clenched for some reason, and her gaze was fixed on the surname embroidery on the collar of the small dress.

The woman had a splitting headache, and fragmented images kept replaying in her mind, gradually piecing together a vague and incomprehensible scene. The mother of the Yuyutsu Sisters, her heart pounding, couldn't help but murmur the surname on her collar over and over again.

Yamai? No... that's not right...

It seems I've forgotten something very important. What is it?

The woman stroked the small garment intently, murmuring incessantly. As her memories were pieced together again, things that had been buried deep within her gradually became clearer.

Our family name should actually be "Fengdai"...

At that moment, the woman looked up, her face turning deathly pale. She stared intently at the birth certificate, her expression a mixture of Affliction and resentment.

P. S.: Thank you everyone for the swords and monthly tickets. I'm so happy to have readers still here. Thank you.

However, I'm sorry, I overestimated my mindset. For a week after the book was taken down, I didn't want to touch the computer to write.

Therefore, I will post five chapters on May 22nd. I will make up for the remaining five chapters by posting two chapters every day.

I should be able to pay it off by Sunday.

Chapter 750, Section 784: Not even a cat is spared!

The next morning, Tokisaki Kurumi Kevin, who was trotting along the alley, looked listless, staggering and yawning. His gaze toward his owner's beautiful profile was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

The gothic girl seemed to sense something amiss behind her, so she stopped, crouched down, and opened her arms to Kevin with a beaming smile.

However, Kevin shuddered, his fur stood on end, and he hissed and whimpered. He quickly jumped away, as if trying to avoid it at all costs.

"Don't be angry. It was just a little catnip last night, meant to help soothe your mind and body. I meant well..."

A tiny bit? It should be a billion bits! Even Stan, with his body fused with Honkai energy, was high all night and woke up feeling lethargic. Who knows where you got so much purified catnip essence!

Kevin rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, completely unmoved, while simultaneously swatting away Tokisaki Kurumi's outstretched hand with his claws.

"Tsk tsk, so cold-hearted. Last night we were sharing a bed, saying we'd never be apart, and now she's turning her back on me..."

Tokisaki Kurumi lifted her cheek with her right hand, stroking it with a sorrowful expression, revealing a look of impending tears.

"Come on! I didn't expect you to go after even a cat. You're worse than a beast! You're utterly depraved!"

Kevin was not only completely immune to this expression, but also scoffed at it; the content of their conversation was even more explosive.

He somewhat regretted revealing his identity prematurely, because this Nightmare Spirit was truly ruthless when it came to achieving his goals!

Having experienced countless battles with her fellow spirit sisters, Tokisaki Kurumi's heart is already riddled with wounds, making trust a luxury for her.

Therefore, this girl hopes to break free from her tragic fate with her own hands, and the prerequisite for doing so is power!

Enough to overturn history and challenge the power of the Original Elf Mio Sumiya!

Coincidentally, Kevin, this outsider who appears at just the right time, not only possesses the [Holy Grail] of the encoded world, but is also Godslayer who defeated the Final Herrscher.

Thus, the outcome was predictable: Tokisaki Kurumi coveted Kevin's god-slaying qualities and the Herrscher Core growing within him.

If she could absorb even a portion of Kevin's power, it would be enough for her to have a trump card against the Original Elf.

Therefore, Tokisaki Kurumi went so far as to purchase a large quantity of purified catnip.

After that, he not only made Kevin so excited that he was on the ground, but also did everything he could in one night, including licking his face, pouncing on him, biting his ears, stroking his fur, and forcibly possessing him (using the "Bullet of Nine" to connect the five senses).

Unfortunately, Tokisaki Kurumi ultimately failed to obtain even a scrap of Kevin's Divine Will.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi's greatest strength is her understanding of people's hearts. These covert projects, which included breast-baring scenes and cuddling, forced Kevin, who knew he was being offended, to simply let the matter drop.

I knew it! The encounter with Saint Fath was definitely staged!

Look at all those female confidantes I've met—which one of them was someone I liked from the very first meeting? Ha, women!

"Honey, there are a lot of places to check today, come in quickly."

Tokisaki Kurumi spoke softly, seemingly very reasonable, and Kevin, appearing sensible, obediently jumped into the girl's arms.

The owner then contentedly withdrew the pet hospital card from his palm.

After reconnecting his five senses, Kevin was thoroughly examined by the Nightmare Spirit before him, revealing his current weak and helpless state.

He didn't want to be bred and castrated without understanding why. Circumstances were beyond his control, so they pretended nothing had happened and continued to be good friends.

The cat, with tears in its eyes, clung tightly to the warmth behind it, unwilling to face the cruel reality of society.

Tokisaki Kurumi and stroked the cat's head, pulling the little guy even closer to her chest, seemingly trying to soothe someone's wounded heart through this wonderful feeling of suffocation.

Amidst this farcical situation that is both laughable and absurd, a person and a cat begin to implement a targeted investigation strategy.

During mealtimes, Kevin will visit every single pizzeria! Kevin guarantees that the Pizza Terminator will definitely show up at these target locations!

"Pizza, pizza... pizza! Hehehe..."

On the street, CC hummed a tune she had adapted herself, holding a pizza box, and tiptoed to take down the Cheese-kun Pillow she had redeemed with points coupons from the wall. Her pretty face was full of joy and satisfaction.

Immediately, the Green Haired Witch returned to the dining table. While munching on a piece of bread, she reached out her greasy left hand and groped towards the upright figure sitting opposite her.

However, the wallet of that handsome white-haired man, who looked like a marble sculpture, was now completely empty after several days of spending.

CC looked regretfully at a dark corner outside the window, her eyes narrowed slightly. She spread her right hand and whispered something.

"Give me your hand!"

The handsome white-haired man opposite her, who had a blank expression, obediently placed his fingers on the Green Haired Witch's hand.

"Good..."

CC stretched out her right hand and gently scratched the white-haired handsome man's chin with a look of satisfaction, as if she were treating a pet.

"If you weren't so obedient, I'd sell you into being a gigolo, and then I wouldn't have any qualms about it. This is really a headache..."

The Green Haired Witch munched on her pizza, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the job postings she had collected on the table, slightly distressed, and occasionally pinching the handsome cheek of the sculpture in front of her.

But CC clearly didn't notice that a cat cautiously jumped out of the backpack of the gothic girl at the back of the table and was approaching with gritted teeth.
