This Is a False World / The World Reboots

"Then raise it!"

Kiana was disgusted; it was the first time she had ever heard of something so morally depraved and inhumane.

In retrospect, Yae Sakura killing him so easily was too lenient on him.

Burn him to ashes and scatter the ashes in the toilet!

Chapter Thirty-Two: This is a Fake World.

Kiana's proposal was even more radical than her own.

Yae Sakura calmed down.

"It's so good that you understand."

"I can't fully empathize with what you've been through, nor can I claim to completely understand your feelings. But in this kind of situation, I don't think any amount of venting is excessive. He doesn't deserve to be your father, and you don't need to treat him like one!"

That's enough.

I don't need anything else, this is enough. With the support of my friends, I feel better.

She looked back at herself, gazing for a moment at the calm after everything was over, a sense of unreality welling up inside her.

This was a nightmare that had plagued her for years.

Unfortunately, her sister...

Thinking of her deceased sister, Yae Sakura felt a pang of sadness, but she also knew very well that the past could not be changed.

Can I join you?

Yae Sakura's words came as a surprise.

After accomplishing what she most wanted to do, she was filled with uncertainty about the future.

But the only thing she was certain of was this.

She didn't want to stay here any longer.

She got along very well with Kiana, and she was able to take revenge thanks to Kiana telling her about the Frost Blade and the Kishin God.

Kiana Kiana's organization.

Slay more Kishin.

Not wanting more tragedies to continue, Yae Sakura had this thought in her mind.

Kiana looked at her.

This world only has one region, Yae Village. After all, this is not the real world, but only a Stigmata world.

Demon Slayers...

Should we continue on this path and slowly awaken Yae Sakura's memories?

But they couldn't even get over the Lian Shan.

"You want to join the Demon Slayers?"

"I've done what I needed to do. I want to leave with you, go outside, and stop tragedies like this from happening again."

Is this Yae Sakura's reason for joining the Demon Slayers and becoming a swordswoman?

Kiana lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

"Sakura, don't you ever feel this way? That we've actually known each other for a long time?"

Her revenge is complete.

There shouldn't be any more dangers in this Stigmata world. Kiana has gained a deeper understanding of Yae Sakura during her time in the Stigmata world.

She had no idea that Yae Sakura's past was so tragic, and yet, despite having such a tragic past, she was still a normal person in the future...

"We've known each other for a long time?"

Yae Sakura was stunned. She believed that Kiana wouldn't say something like that without a reason, and that Kiana must have a deeper meaning behind her words.

Know...

No, she was certain she had never seen Kiana before; Kiana was definitely visiting Yae Village for the first time.

She has a very distinctive and beautiful appearance.

You'll never forget it once you've seen it.

I had never met her before, but she felt very familiar, and from the very first glance, I trusted her without any reason.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling.

"I've been thinking about whether I should make things clear with you."

Kiana's expression was somewhat complicated. She looked at Yae Sakura and whispered, "I wasn't sure about your identity before. I didn't know if you were the friend I knew."

Instinct told Yae Sakura that Kiana's next words were important and might overturn her understanding, "... What do you mean?"

Her grip on the Frost Blade tightened uneasily.

What does it mean to say whether it's actually the friend she knows?

Could it be that Kiana... mistook someone for someone else?

She treated me as someone else, which is why she helped me and stood by my side?

I considered that this possibility.

Yae Sakura felt a tightness in her chest.

There's an indescribable feeling of unease.

"Don't be nervous, listen to me."

Kiana looked at Yae Sakura before her and said, "This... isn't actually the real world."

Yae Sakura, who had expected Kiana to start talking about a friend who looked a lot like her from a few years ago, was stunned. "... What?"

What do you mean this isn't real?

Yae Sakura, blinded by her surroundings, was quite confused. She was currently living in the Stigmata world as Stigma consciousness and was unaware of her situation.

Everything illogical here would be ignored in her mind; she would subconsciously overlook it even if she saw it.

"... Sakura, haven't you ever felt that this world isn't actually normal?"

Kiana spent three days with her here. The Stigmata world is different from the real world, and she has already encountered many unbelievable things in these few days.

But Yae Sakura was all ****.

"What are you talking about, Kiana?"

Hearing her deny the existence of the world, Yae Sakura was confused. "If this isn't the real world, then what is the real world like? And why are we in an unreal world?"

"The real world outside..."

Kiana thought of the devastated world outside and glanced at the scenery outside the shrine.

She instantly became a little more alert.

"I know you, the future Demon Slayers; this must be a part of your past."

Kiana wanted to tell Yae Sakura everything, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

Has the outside world been destroyed?

You're dead?

Are you currently just a Stigma consciousness?

My future self? This is just a part of the past?

Yae Sakura tried hard to think of something, but she couldn't come up with anything. She really had no recollection of anything Kiana had said.

"I can't remember anything."

She shook her head and said, "I have no recollection of any of this. However, I'm willing to believe you."

I don't believe these absurd and outlandish claims.

Instead, they believed in Kiana as a person.

She had originally planned to leave Yae Village, join the Demon Slayers, and hunt down more Kishin with Kiana.

Kiana said this isn't the real world, so she must have come here from the real world.

Whether it's the Demon Slayers or the real world.

Yae Sakura doesn't really matter.

Kiana thought that after she pointed out that this was not the real world, Yae Sakura would break through the illusion and remember something.

If only she could remember even a little bit.

It's also easier for me to explain it myself.

But to her utter surprise, even after she said this wasn't the real world, Yae Sakura still couldn't remember anything and didn't believe her.

This caught Kiana completely off guard.

Could it be that her judgment was wrong?

That's impossible!

"I know I'm just making things up, and it's normal that you don't believe me. Here's what we'll do: once you've settled things here, come with me to the mountain. I'm sure you haven't crossed that mountain to go anywhere else, because this world exists because of you. It's only this big village; you can't possibly go anywhere further. You'll see when we get to the top."

"... good."

Yae Sakura wanted to say no.

She was willing to believe it.

But Kiana was very serious.

This world...

Is it just a memory from the past, or is it all a fabrication?

Yae Sakura was still somewhat skeptical, and she lost all interest in cleaning up the shrine. Had she really forgotten so many things?

Can...

Chapter Thirty-Three: The World Resets.

Before long, Kiana, with Yae Sakura still in her clothes, rushed to the top of the back mountain.

Yae Sakura followed her upstairs.

Then I realized that I had never thought of coming here, or of crossing this mountain to go to other places.

No, it has happened before.

Long ago, she and her younger sister tried to escape this suffocating shrine.

"How is that possible...?"

Upon arriving at the place Kiana wanted her to see, Yae Sakura looked incredulous and took a step back.

It was placed in front of them.

It's all nothingness!

There aren't even any invisible walls or decorative elements.

A hazy, empty void.

There was nothing there.

Having avenged her great Yae Sakura's mind went blank. She stared in shock at what was in front of her, then, unwilling to give up, she stepped forward and reached out.

Kiana did not stop her.

Seeing Yae Sakura reach out but touch nothing, she wanted to go inside, but no matter how hard she tried, she remained in the same place.
