Looking at Kurumi Tokisaki, who still remained skeptical of his words, I no longer wanted to waste time and directly transferred the memories related to Sawa Yamauchi's story to her.

The next moment, a flood of images surged into Kurumi's mind.

In the vision...

After being mistakenly killed by Kurumi, Sawa Yamauchi fell into the Neighboring World and merged with Kurumi's abandoned Inverse Form, becoming the White Queen.

At the same time, Sawa hated the world that had crushed them.

By a twist of fate, Kurumi herself fell into the Neighboring World and met Sawa, but she didn't recognize Sawa, who had merged with her Inverse Form.

Sawa expressed her desire to be with Kurumi again, but Kurumi repeated the events of the past. Finally, after being struck by Kurumi Tokisaki's Yud Bet, she made a heartfelt confession to Kurumi before disappearing.

———

Back to reality.

A long while later, Kurumi's mind once again replayed the scene of her killing Sawa. Her face suddenly turned deathly pale. "How could... How could this be..."

Immediately, Kurumi Tokisaki, her emotions spiraling out of control, muttered in pain and then vanished from the spot.

As expected, this painful scene once again deeply stimulated Kurumi's nerves.

I briefly explained the situation to Tohka and the others, then immediately went out to find the emotionally distraught girl.

....

The once-lively city gradually shed the heat of summer, entering a desolate atmosphere.

A gentle breeze blew, and the faint sound of a girl's soft sobs could be heard.

On a desolate patch of grass stood a solitary tombstone, on which was written: Tomb of My Dearest Friend, Sawa Yamauchi.

Before the tombstone knelt a beautiful young girl. She wore a black gothic dress, adorned with red bows and lace on the hem. She wore black gloves, red armbands, and a pair of black high heels decorated with red bows and lace.

Her overall image exuded a mysterious, gothic, and sensual feeling.

Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, her bangs covering her left eye. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes red, with a golden clock pattern in her pupils. A tear mole under her right eye added a touch of mystery to her beauty.

However, the girl kneeling before the tombstone had no trace of a sweet smile on her face, only an expression of pain.

Gazing at the striking black and white photo on the tombstone—so cute and playful.

Yet, the owner of this smile was no longer in this world.

The girl's eyes widened. She reached out, her hand trembling as she touched the photo on the tombstone, muttering to herself, "Why? Why did this happen??"

As her voice fell, the sky seemed to be enveloped in a haze, and raindrops began to fall.

"Why!"

"WHY!!"

"Is everything I've done... all for nothing in the end?"

"Can this tragic fate... never be changed??"

As if in response to the girl's cries, the rain fell harder. The girl knelt before the tombstone, tears mingling with the rain, streaming down her face.

The rain lasted for a long time, and the girl knelt before the tombstone all the while, until her tears ran dry and her eyes were bloodshot.

The girl's sorrowful and heartbroken appearance added a certain charm to her already captivating figure, making one want to cherish and protect her.

This girl, kneeling and crying before the tombstone, was none other than Kurumi Tokisaki, who had fled in a state of breakdown after learning the truth from me.

Ever since learning the future, Kurumi had once again come to the burial place of her dearest friend, Sawa.

Even though she tried to hold back her tears, she could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and cried out.

She vaguely remembered that ever since she was deceived by the Original Spirit and mistakenly killed Sawa, she had rarely cried.

She never thought she would break down and cry this time...

———

"Go on and cry, Let out all the pain you've suppressed in your heart!" Suddenly, a gentle male voice, tinged with a bit of heartache, sounded from behind Kurumi Tokisaki.

Hearing the familiar male voice, Kurumi immediately stopped crying and stood up, turning to look.

There stood a young man in a Raizen High School uniform, his incredibly handsome face looking at her gently...

'Hibari Kyoya...'

The moment she saw him, as if unable to suppress the grief and anger in her heart any longer, Kurumi snapped, blurting out...

"What are you doing here? Do you want me to kill you??" An icy aura erupted from her.

But in my eyes, a faint black aura seemed to rise from her petite body.

As if she was about to erupt at any moment!

'Is Kurumi-chan about to go dark??' My cheeks couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Meeting Kurumi Tokisaki's "kind" gaze, I spread my hands and sighed helplessly. "I came to persuade you, young lady, not to get stuck in a rut. You ran off before I could finish speaking at the school."

"Then what did you want to say?"

"Actually, if you want to change your friend Sawa Yamauchi's fate, I can help you."

"Oh~ Help me? I'm curious how you're going to help me?" Saying this, Kurumi Tokisaki, with her heterochromatic gold and red eyes, stared at me suspiciously.

Meeting Kurumi's scrutinizing gaze, at this moment, I seemed to see another soul within her.

That other Kurumi Tokisaki, clad in a white military uniform, with long white twin-tails, and heterochromatic red and blue eyes.

After regaining my senses, my expression turned serious. I looked at the beautiful face so close to me and began to coax her earnestly. "Hey, Kurumi, you've never believed my words, have you? In that case, I'll let your friend Sawa Yamauchi talk to you personally!"

'Let Sawa talk to me??' Kurumi's expression froze upon hearing this. Then, as if guessing my intentions, she sneered coldly. "Heh~ I understand. You're planning to make me invert, right?"

"But... let me tell you, that's impossible. In this world now, there's nothing that can make me invert!"

"Kurumi-chan is really confident~" I raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl before me with deep meaning, then mercilessly delivered the blow.

"If it were anyone else trying to make Kurumi-chan invert, it would indeed be hard. But for me, it's nothing."
