[Ao]

Earlier in Shido's personal dimension.

After their fight, the Yamai sisters are now sitting on the beach, broken.

Their spirits couldn't get over how he overwhelmed them.

Shido knows that if he let them be, they might hurt themselves because of the depression that they walk right now.

They are overconfident in their lives so if someone stronger defeat the sisters, being broken is the only effect.

Kurumi might not be broken but she feels inferior right now.

Since earlier, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

It might be just an idea or instinct but if Shido tries to kill her, she might never get resurrected.

However, she didn't expect that not only she will feel despair, but also, enlightenment that this guy is not a human.

Slowly, her surrounding is being back in time before Shido fight the sisters.

Time Manipulation— No, time control and it's an absolute one.

A power that is superior to her time manipulation.

As someone who knows this, she knew that she doesn't stand a chance if they fight because Shido has a superior power.

She falls into despair.

All of the words she tells to him suddenly back to her mind like those memories you don't want to remember but your brain still recalls.

Fortunately, she immediately calms down but her self-esteem is already low.

She doesn't know what to do.

The only reason why she is here is because of the promise that he—

When she remember this, all of her confidence got back.

Yes, he promised to give his life so he will give it right? 

Right?

After the time got back to start, the sisters don't know what happened to their future so they are confident again while arguing with each other.

Shido is with her and currently looking at her.

"Thank you for the wait. So how's my performance?"

"You're a monster."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"Then can you give me your life now?"

"Before that, I will ask you. What's your purpose? Why do you want my life?"

Shido knows but he wanted to hear it from her and to learn her level of determination right now.

"My purpose… the reason for all of this is simple. To gain the Reiryoku sealed within your body, go back in time, and kill the First Spirit."

'Prevent the spacequakes from ever happening and saving millions of lives in the process.'

Shido thought after she finished talking.

Even though she didn't confess but despite killing almost 10,000 people, her justice is still in her, never disappearing and still growing despite the twisted methods she has done.

Well, the people she brutally murdered were would-be rapists and animal abusers that's why she is not regretted killing them.

After she answer, Shido thought for a bit before giving his answer.

"Unfortunately, I truly can't give my life to you."

"I see… then—"

She summons her guns.

"I know I can't defeat you but I would rather try and die in your hands than give up my goal."

Suddenly, Shido raises his hand telling that he surrenders.

"I wouldn't give my life to you but I can help you to go back in time."

Realizing this method, Kurumi got to her knees.

"Yeah… that power."

Her expression is like something she couldn't believe in something and her tears started to drop.

"Why?! Why? Why I didn't meet you soon? Why do you need to be born this late? WHY?!!!"

Killing 10,000 people for the activation of his 12th bullet: Yud Bet and still not activated.

Despite killing criminals, her sin cannot be forgiven anymore.

Shido knows this and tells her since she remembered what happened to Origami's past.

In the original story, he was able to change the history within 5 years gap but how about the 30 years gap?

Now that his theory is not a theory anymore about the plot can't restrict him anymore, he can now help all the people like Kurumi, who wanted to change the past.

Even though it will end to worst, he can just reset back and have another way to solve it.

Like the way, he will do now.

Instead of fighting them, he decided to follow the story.

Let the Yamai sisters fight for his affection.
