Trust Me

But she is stronger.

So she won.

She shook her head. "I don't think Sakura is the useless person you're describing."

"She's a useless piece of trash, incapable of doing anything, unable to change anything, incompetent, utterly worthless!"

What exactly are you talking about?

Yae Sakura, who had been scolded by a fox, couldn't help but step forward. She stared at the four-tailed fox in front of her, her eyes filled with a complicated emotion.

It is definitely related to itself.

And their relationship is very close!

What exactly are you?

The fox's scarlet eyes stared at her, a cruel smile spreading across its face, "What am I, Yae Sakura? Don't you know what I am? I am your resentment, I am your pain, I am everything you dare not face!"

Yae Sakura's... resentment?

Kiana silently turned around and glanced at Yae Sakura, who had taken a step back in shock.

I've been loitering in front of Yae Sakura so long, but she hasn't remembered anything.

The mere appearance of this thing caused such a drastic emotional shift in Yae Sakura; what she said seems somewhat believable.

"What are you saying? How is this possible? My resentment? How could I possibly..."

Yae Sakura couldn't believe that the monster captured by Kiana had appeared because of her.

"What? Have you forgotten what kind of person you are? In this eternal hell, you have long been twisted, and I am the monster you have twisted out!"

"That's impossible!"

Yae Sakura instinctively denied it.

She absolutely refused to believe that the fox had appeared because of her.

"Heh, see? It doesn't even have the courage to face the truth. Kiana, why are you helping her? Why are you helping such a piece of trash? She has already sunk into this eternal hell and lost herself!"

"Her Remembrance are with you, aren't they?"

Kiana was unaffected by it, and walked over to the fox, examining it closely. She said, "Her resentment... perhaps. You do indeed carry her aura. Her power is also within you. I see. No wonder Frost Blade can only unleash such limited strength."

The remaining power of the Frost Blade, the demonic power within Yae Sakura, and the power of Honkai —these elements combined to form the fox before us.

"Give Sakura her Remembrance back."

Kiana had nothing to worry about regarding the fox she had bound; any Honkai Beast was her natural counter.

"If I dare to give it to her, would she dare to take it?"

The fox stared at Yae Sakura's pale face, its sinister smile harboring ill intent.

Don't try to play tricks on me.

Kiana's tone turned cold upon seeing this, carrying a deep warning.

She has plenty of ways to cure it.

The fox was silent for a moment, then said, unable to laugh, "I'm not that kind of tasteless fox."

"Yae Sakura, do you dare to take her?"

It asked again, the same question, but this time without the malicious smile, and seemed much more believable.

Kiana said to Yae Sakura, "Sakura, are you ready?"

"... I'm ready."

Despite an overwhelming fear of what was to come, Yae Sakura forced herself to speak.

Don't even think about playing tricks.

Kiana warned the fox again, then slowly relaxed her control over it, allowing it to use some of its power.

But they still couldn't escape.

It suddenly exhaled a breath of black gas at Yae Sakura, which directly enveloped Yae Sakura, causing Kiana to frown.

She gave the fox a deep look, said nothing, and carefully observed Yae Sakura's changes.

Under the shroud of black mist, Yae Sakura's body trembled slightly. She closed her eyes, seemingly going through something, and looked completely out of sorts.

Kiana's brow furrowed deeper the more she looked.

What did you do to her?

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

The fox looked at Kiana and said, "If you want to know, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

The chains under her control tightened around the fox once more. Kiana hesitated only for a moment before placing her hand on Yae Sakura's shoulder and closing her eyes to try and understand what Yae Sakura was going through.

That was an extremely fast-moving torrent of information.

Over and over again, scenes filled with pain, despair, and bloodshed.

Her mother died, everyone around her died, her sister died, and finally, having lost everything, she killed her father.

Again and again.

It's like living in hell.

Everything here is fixed in place.

Trapped in the world she created, unable to escape, she could only experience everything with anger, despair, and numbness.

Various sounds echoed in my ears.

The various scenes flashed by extremely quickly; just by looking up, one could see Yae Rin's various deaths.

"Sakura? Sakura!"

It's strange that I don't have any Remembrance of myself or the outside world, but now is not the time to think about that.

She found Yae Sakura, curled up and covering her ears, trying to escape everything in this bizarre and fantastical world.

"Yae Sakura!"

Kiana struggled through the obstacles to reach Yae Sakura's side, and saw Yae Sakura gritting her teeth as she shook her.

"Kiana..."

"Wake up! Hang in there!"

She reached out and pulled Yae Sakura up from the ground, grabbing her arms and saying, "Don't let your obsession trap you, don't collapse here!"

"Obsession... I can't do anything, Kiana, you know that? I can't save Rin. It's right, I'm just a useless piece of trash..."

Even though she saved Rin from her father's clutches, Rin would also suddenly die for other reasons. No matter what she did, she couldn't save her younger sister.

"I want to save her, but I can't!"

It was definitely because of Rin.

Kiana gripped her hand tightly, looked at her earnestly, and said, "I'll help you!"

"I'll help you save Rin!"

Kiana's words were a shot in the arm for Yae Sakura, bringing new hope to Yae Sakura who was suffering from pain and confusion, and was almost suffocating under the pressure.

Kiana...

Yes, and Kiana too.

I can't do it alone, but what about adding Kiana? Kiana is an outsider; she can definitely, definitely rewrite the fate of this world, right?

Kiana took her hand back.

She had returned from Yae Sakura's consciousness space, and the expression on Yae Sakura's face had calmed down.

It seems they've really been calmed down.

Kiana turned to look at the large fox, pondered for a moment, and calmly used her Power of the Saintess to purify the fox, which was filled with ominous and negative emotions, before putting it back into Yae Sakura's body.

This belongs to Yae Sakura.

It is the power derived from her.

If I weren't the Finality and hadn't remembered these things, I could only use the strength of an ordinary person to navigate this Stigmata world.

The time and effort required would definitely be far greater than it is now. After all, it is expected that the strong will defeat the weak, but the weak will inevitably lose a lot of brain cells in the process.

As the fox was stuffed into Yae Sakura's body, the surrounding black aura also surged into Yae Sakura's body.

Kiana was so shocked by this scene that she took two steps back, only then realizing that all these things had appeared because of Yae Sakura!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Believe Me

Are these all Yae Sakura's negative emotions?

This resentment could feed several evil sword immortals!

Kiana watched this scene with a panicked look that kept darting towards Yae Sakura, who seemed oblivious to everything around her.

It's not fear.

But this scene was simply...

Kiana doesn't even know how to describe it!

However, thinking of what Yae Sakura had just seen about Rin's various deaths, and the scenes where no matter how hard Yae Sakura tried, she couldn't keep Rin alive, she couldn't.

I also think it's normal for Yae Sakura crazy.

Seeing the person he cares about most die before his eyes again and again, knowing he has the ability but being unable to save her, surviving one near-death experience only to have various unexpected events fall from the sky.

It's like the Grim Reaper has arrived.

If this happened to her...

Kiana felt she might be even more insane than Yae Sakura, and when she went insane, she might wreak havoc on more than just one Stigmata world.

"The most important person..."

She thought of Mei.

If she were in Yae Sakura's position, and Mei were in Rin's position, even if Mei wasn't the real one, she would probably still have the desire to overturn the world.

Then she thought of Ruan Mei, who had returned to that nameless planet for a new round of research, and wondered if she had made the progress she was looking for.

And the Nightingale...

The Nightingale?

The Nightingale?!

Oh no!!!

Kiana suddenly widened her eyes and glanced towards the sky, finally remembering that she had a friend waiting for her outside.

Jana was so surprised by the discovery of the Stigmata world that she the Nightingale was still waiting for her outside. She hadn't even confirmed whether the time flow in the Stigmata world and the outside world was the same, and she had stayed here for so many days!

What if the time ratio is 1:1?

The Nightingale must be terribly worried!

I'm really worried she's dead.

Thinking of the Nightingale waiting outside for her news, Kiana suddenly became restless.

The mindset is definitely different when you forget something and when you remember it.

She worried about the Nightingale outside, but she couldn't leave this Stigmata world now, leaving Yae Sakura, who had taken back everything, including those negative emotions, alone.

Yae Sakura's appearance is also changing.

Slowly, it returned to the form Kiana was most familiar with, even the long fox ears that had grown out due to the power of the demon returned.

Kiana slowed her breathing, nervously watching the person in front of her, afraid that she would make a noise and disturb Yae Sakura.

It didn't take long.
