Chapter 3: Miss Shiori Is in Despair (Continued)

How should I put it? Under the guidance of some jerk, Miss Kurumi seemed to have embarked on a rather strange path.

"There's nothing to thank me for. That was the result of your own hard work."

The young man who had been teaching Tokisaki Kurumi how to become a pig farmer in the world of Re:CREATORS shrugged.

"By the way, what are you planning to do next? Keep looking for Itsuka Shido?"

"There's no longer any need for that."

Having seen a story about herself in the world of Re:CREATORS, Miss Tokisaki shook her head. Why waste time devouring supernatural ability users when running a factory was so much easier?

"If that's the case, we'll probably have to act separately for a while."

The young man, who had deliberately created spatial quakes to draw the attention of AST or Ratatoskr before making contact with them, shrugged.

"In that case, this humble lady shall take her leave."

The girl, clearly anxious to make up the time needed to fire The Twelfth Bullet, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

She actually quite wanted to travel with this great hero who gave people such an overwhelming sense of security. After all, according to the description in a certain setting draft by a Creator who had already been sacrificed to the heavens by the Scythe Hero, he possessed the power to end civilization in an instant.

Unfortunately, she still needed to gather time.

"Goodbye." Li Zihan made no attempt to stop her.

The girl in a black-and-red Gothic dress curtsied to the young man, then turned into a mass of shadow and vanished from the empty world.

Before long, only the modernly dressed young man remained in the enormous crater caused by the spatial quake, humming an unknown tune as he waited quietly.
