[Shepherd: "So after all this time, how are those two new members doing now?"]
[Magic Old Man: "There are chat logs above."]
[Shepherd: "Too long; didn't read."~]
[Magic Old Man: "—So lazy!"]
[Fallen Angel: "Although it's surprising, I've accepted it. But this is also because both of them come from worlds with high combat power, and they have more experience, so they accept things faster—."]
[Fallen Angel: "However, one new member is unwilling to disclose her identity, so I haven't released any anime related to her."]
[Shepherd: "I guess it's @Spirit of Time."]
[Spirit of Time: "Mr. Rosen guesses so accurately? Could it be that you two have already secretly communicated?"]
[Fallen Angel: "How dare I… No, how would I? I protect group members' privacy very well, it's just that besides me, the… mainly he is also like me."]
[Spirit of Time: "Oh? Also from a world where information is received? Suddenly I feel like I've been seen through by two people."]
[I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Um… Mr. Rosen is a boy."]
[Spirit of Time: "I know, I'm just using it as a metaphor."]
[Spirit of Time: "But speaking of which, the chat group's functions are quite complete, especially the Delegation travel function. Does that mean if someone encounters danger, the chat group can issue a commission for everyone to travel to other worlds?"]
[Du Dao: "Yes."]
[Du Dao: "But it's not just that. If the chat group doesn't issue a mission, and a group member needs help, they can also bypass the group commission and issue a private commission to travel. And the rewards for private commissions can be chosen freely, so it doesn't matter if there are no points."]
[Spirit of Time: "Is this… a bug?"]
[Shepherd: "No, it's just a reasonable use of a loophole in the rules. Besides, the chat group hasn't prohibited it, which means it's tacitly allowed."]
[Shepherd: "If you have any troubles you can't handle, I happen to be free."]
Seeing this.
Tokisaki Kurumi suddenly fell into a dilemma.
After all, she indeed had a long-cherished wish that she had to fulfill.
That was to go back to the past, kill the Origin Spirit, and change the future that had already happened.
Because of the Origin Spirit, her good friend Yamaida Sae was turned into a monster by the Origin Spirit, and she was even tricked into killing that monster herself.
In other words, she personally killed her best friend.
After realizing this, Tokisaki Kurumi almost collapsed, but she still forcibly calmed herself down with the power of the Spirit of Time.
Since then, Tokisaki Kurumi launched a frantic attack on the Origin Spirit, but she was exiled to the Neighboring World.
A few years ago, she woke up from the Neighboring World and returned to her original Earth.
However, thirty years had passed since that incident.
Because Tokisaki Kurumi's Spirit of Time possessed an ability that could allow her to return to the past.
But it required a massive amount of spiritual power as a price.
Therefore, Tokisaki Kurumi had been constantly entrapping people for several years.
In two years, she had already killed ten thousand people.
However.
Even so, the time of these ten thousand people was still not enough for her to create a "Time Bullet" to return thirty years ago.
For this, she continued to entrap people, attracting those morally corrupt humans to devour.
In the past,
Tokisaki Kurumi would never ask for help.
Because after the Origin Spirit incident, she no longer trusted anyone.
However, she also knew that accumulating enough spiritual power required devouring more lives.
But she didn't know when it would end.
After all, while she was devouring time, the time in the real world was also passing.
The longer the gap, the more spiritual power was consumed.
It seemed to have become a dead loop.
However, the existence and functionality of the chat group made Tokisaki Kurumi consider whether to ask for help.
On one hand, the group members from other worlds would not have conflicts of interest with her; on the other hand, these people… seemed quite easy to fool.
Of course, it could also be interpreted as enthusiasm.
But what made Tokisaki Kurumi hesitate was the talk of "information leakage."
Because Gabriel had chatted with her privately and sent her anime related to Date A Live.
After watching it, Tokisaki Kurumi felt that most of the plot was non-existent.
For example, there was no high school student named Itsuka Shido in Tengu City.
And the plot where she interacted with Itsuka Shido in the show was even evaluated by her in her heart as "an otaku's fantasy before death."
After all, how could she easily fall in love with a man?
Furthermore.
The plot where she activated Zafkiel at school also made her very confused.
After all, spending such a huge price just for the time of hundreds of students in a school was simply not worth it.
[Spirit of Time: "If I need help, then please take care of me, everyone."]
Although Tokisaki Kurumi needed assistance now.
But she had only just joined the group and didn't know the personalities of the other group members yet.
.....
Although the chat group's functions were real, who knew if these group members had other intentions?
What if she invited a world-destroying madman? What would she do then?
Tokisaki Kurumi decided to observe for a while longer.
It would be best to subtly probe this man named "Rosen" to see his attitude towards her.
There's always tomorrow.
She had waited for thirty years.
She didn't mind waiting a bit longer.
Seeing what Tokisaki Kurumi said, Rosen smiled slightly.
Having seen the plot, he clearly understood Tokisaki Kurumi's inner thoughts.
It was nothing more than worrying that the group members would be unfavorable to her, and also that she didn't want others to know her dark history.
After all, both killing her friend with her own hands and killing ten thousand humans were very difficult for normal people to accept.
However, Tokisaki Kurumi's heart was still inclined towards kindness.
After all, in her heart, she would always use the idea that as long as the Origin Spirit was killed, everything would change, and those she killed would not die, to numb the guilt in her heart.
Thinking of this, Rosen knew that although Tokisaki Kurumi was forty-five years old after more than ten years, her psychological age was still similar to that of a teenage girl.
On the other hand.
Rosen also really wanted to go to the Date A Live world.
After all, his life tree might be able to improve in that world.
At the very least, he could absorb a few new Sephiroth.
