"This city!?"
"What's wrong, Eucliwood?"
"Nothing."
With the help of maps, taxis, and various horny creatures, Kurumi and Yuu arrived at the city where everything began, never lacking for food or drink. Yuu, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, stopped and curiously looked around, realizing she had never been there before. When Kurumi asked her about it, she quickly wrote in her notebook.
"Well then, you wait here for a bit, I'll be right back."
Kurumi looked at the already dark sky and said to Yuu that she was going to see where the protagonist was, so she could gauge how much time was left before the plot began.
Kurumi was very uneasy about leaving directly, so she left a clone near Yuu to clean up pests at any time.
"Finally found it."
After searching for nearly an hour, Kurumi looked at the Aikawa nameplate in front of her with some emotion. Her shadow spread out, enveloping Kurumi, and quickly entered the house.
"This is!? Aikawa Ayumi, a girl?"
Kurumi looked at the cute girl in the photo with some surprise. Her gray hair and eyes, good figure, lively temperament, and that name all made Kurumi feel different. If her memory served her right, the protagonist should be male. Kurumi re-entered the shadow, searched the entire house, and found a pile of strange things in the warehouse.
"It seems this is it, no doubt."
Comparing some special features from the original work, Kurumi finally confirmed that this house was the protagonist's house, and there were no other people present, meaning there were no traces of a male living there. Judging by the photos, she was an only child, so there were no brothers.
"This world is truly insane (doing it beautifully)."
Kurumi, feeling helpless about this gender-bent world, finally spoke her mind.
"Right, I should go back quickly now! If no one is in this house, it means the person has gone out to buy things, and the plot might start today."
Kurumi entered her shadow and began to move towards Yuu's location. When Kurumi arrived, her guess was indeed correct.
"It's just beginning, enjoy it! Main body, hehe."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Kurumi asked her clone, receiving a joyful smile in return. Kurumi still looked at our 'Asian Dance King' passionately dancing in front of Yuu. She was already a girl, so the humorous scene from the original work wouldn't appear, but she didn't expect it to be corrected.
"Twisted her hand."
"Mm! She twisted her hand."
As if set up, our 'Asian Dance King' twisted her wrist while doing a Thomas flare, which looked painful.
"Yuu, isn't that girl interesting?"
Kurumi watched Ayumi walk away, stepped out of her corner, and said to Yuu.
"She is indeed an interesting person."
"Well then, let's go help her!"
"Can we?"
"Yes, of course, you've already seen it, haven't you? The strong aura of death on her. She'll probably die a violent death tonight."
Through her year in the Underworld, Kurumi could already distinguish the aura of people nearing death. Hearing Kurumi's words, Yuu fell silent for a moment. She certainly knew how to save Ayumi, but she hesitated, as becoming a zombie meant eternal loneliness. Her friend, Night King, had collapsed because he couldn't bear eternal life.
"Kurumi."
"I'm listening, go ahead!"
"Is eternal life really that painful?"
"That question, Yuu."
"You need to find the answer yourself. When you no longer feel lonely, then you will understand."
Kurumi did not directly answer such a question. She herself had transmigrated from a human with a lifespan of only a few decades to a god with an infinite lifespan. This huge difference made even the carefree Zeus lose sleep for two or three days at the time. But in the end, she figured it out: as long as she lived each day happily, only looking at the present, and dealing with the future when it came, that was Zeus's current mindset.
"Are you ready to save her?"
After hearing Kurumi's words, Yuu stood up and walked in one direction. Kurumi smiled as she asked, and when she received Yuu's answer, Kurumi's smile grew wider.
"What a beautiful strike, piercing right through the heart."
By the time they saw Ayumi, she was already a corpse, and the culprit, the twin-tailed Kyoko, had already fled. Kurumi said coldly, looking at Ayumi, whose blood was flowing everywhere.
"Help with the transport."
"Aye, aye! I understand."
Feeling the increasingly close alarm, it seemed the police would arrive soon. Staying there would be troublesome, so Kurumi's shadow rolled up the three people (one corpse) and quickly disappeared from the house.
Kurumi stopped at the nearest cemetery and looked at Yuu, who was repairing Ayumi's body. Kurumi couldn't help but caress Yuu's little head, it must be very painful! It was just that she was used to it, so her expression was blank. Yuu had to bear the corresponding pain to heal the other's wounds.
"Don't worry! I'm fine."
As if seeing Kurumi's pity, Yuu showed Kurumi the words on her notebook. Kurumi could only smile and step back, no longer disturbing Yuu, who was doing serious business.
A very strange scene unfolded before Kurumi's eyes. Yuu whispered something in Ayumi's ear, and faint white smoke began to rise from Ayumi's body. Then, in Kurumi's perception, most of Ayumi's bodily functions began to recover, and she woke up, half-dead and half-alive.
"Is this the legendary living dead? I've learned something."
Kurumi couldn't help but comment, looking at Ayumi, who was still confused and looking around.
In another world, Medusa woke up, looking around in confusion. Hadn't she died? Shouldn't she have entered the Underworld? Where was this place?
With a belly full of questions, Medusa stood up and surveyed her surroundings.
"You're finally awake."
Suddenly a voice came, and Medusa looked towards the sound. A familiar person appeared before her.
"Athena, so you saved me. Where is Pegasus?"
Medusa was not stupid; she instantly knew who her savior was, but where had her cute little pony gone?
"No need to look, she gave up her phantom beast body for you and reincarnated."
"What? How could this be?"
Struck by the sudden news, Medusa's mind was now blank.
"I suggest you go find your sister first! You know Poseidon's personality."
"...Thank you."
After a moment of stunned, Medusa thanked Athena and hurried out of the temple. Athena looked at her back helplessly. Her sister's fate was already obvious; going now would only be to retrieve two corpses. Poseidon would never allow anyone to betray her.
"Take care."
Athena softly said to the direction Medusa had left, and then went to arrange for Pegasus's reincarnation as a child. She would give the other party an absolute weapon: 'God-Slaying Power'.
