"Yu, come out with me this afternoon. Let's go see Reina."
After lunch, just as Nakano Yu was about to rest, Nakano Maruo called him.
Hearing Nakano Maruo's somewhat excited words, Nakano Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Alright. By the way, father, why do you sound so excited? Did something good happen?"
Nodding, Nakano Yu readily agreed. He knew that Nakano Maruo had suggested going to see Reina while they were in the Faroe Islands, but... at that time, Nakano Maruo had left in a hurry after receiving a call.
He remembered it was related to some new technological discovery. Now that he was so happy, it was probably related to that discovery.
Only... now he had Cut Break. Logically, Cut Break could cut anything, even conceptual things like Life and Death. Nakano Yu could cut them, as long as he could bear the burden.
Nakano Yu felt that he could perfectly withstand it, so he decided to give Maruo a small supernatural shock!
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu smiled.
However, if Reina were revived, then what about the technological resurrection his father was researching?
Honestly, Nakano Yu did not believe in technological resurrection. After all, the structure of the human body was too complex, and the technology of this world was not that advanced, still at the level of nuclear energy.
The only somewhat reliable resurrection in this era might be simulating AI with a similar personality and loading it into artificial intelligence or a computer.
However, that would only provide spiritual comfort; fake was fake after all. Maruo was aware of this, which was why he had always devoted himself to researching biotechnology.
Shaking his head, Nakano Yu stopped thinking about it and instead stood up and walked toward the door. Rather than waiting for Ebata to come pick him up, it would be faster to fly directly to Nakano Maruo.
Just as Nakano Yu reached the door, it suddenly opened, and then Itsuki cautiously peeked in and asked,
"Yu, are you going to see Mother?"
"Itsuki, do you want to come with me?"
Seeing Itsuki, Nakano Yu was not surprised at all. In the past two days, Itsuki had been coming to his door for no reason, and he didn't know why, but from her behavior it seemed she was struggling with something.
"Yes! I want to!"
Nodding, Itsuki answered without hesitation.
Nakano Reina, for the Nakano family, whether it was Nakano Maruo, the Nakano Five Sisters, or Nakano Yu, was an extremely important person.
For Nakano Maruo, Nakano Reina was the love of his life, irreplaceable.
For the five sisters, even more so, Reina was their mother, and that bond was deeper than blood.
And although Nakano Yu was not related by blood to the Nakano family, Reina was the one who adopted him, and Reina was the one who raised him through the years as he learned to walk and speak.
How could such a gentle and kind woman not be remembered by the Nakano family?
"Then let's go. Hmm~ Let's not call Ichika and the others yet; let's prepare a surprise for them."
Taking Itsuki's hand, Nakano Yu thought for a moment and said.
"A surprise?"
Hearing that, Itsuki looked confused. Weren't they just going to see Mother? Why did they need to prepare a surprise?
"Itsuki will know soon, but if we take Itsuki through the living room, it will attract Ichika and the others' attention. Let's go through the window!"
Said Nakano Yu, lightly lifting himself and Itsuki with Wind, raising his hand to open the window of the room and flying out with the girl.
"Oh? It's destroyed to this extent, how terrifying."
In Europe, in front of the sword trace that Nakano Yu had cut, splitting the continent, a girl in a western dress holding a parasol stood at the edge of that trace and murmured.
After saying that, the girl stepped on a small stone, lightly kicked it, and the stone fell into the bottomless abyss, without any sound of hitting the bottom for a long time.
"Ma'am! This area is sealed off, please leave immediately, or I will open fire!"
At that moment, a soldier in armor responsible for guarding the area was patrolling and saw someone standing by the abyss. He immediately raised his rifle and took a combat stance.
"Can you really... bear to hurt me?"
At that moment, the girl turned around and smiled at the soldier.
The girl's beautiful appearance and enchanting eyes made the vigilant soldier immediately relax, and the hand holding the weapon slowly lowered.
"Um... I, I didn't mean that... I..."
After a while, the soldier came back to his senses, blushed, and began to stutter.
Seeing that the beautiful girl was still looking at him, the soldier quickly straightened his appearance and ran toward her, his blue eyes greedily sweeping over her body.
"Ahem, beautiful oriental lady, my name is David. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
Seeing her East Asian face, the soldier awkwardly bowed and asked her name.
Looking at the soldier's ridiculous appearance, disdain and disgust flashed in the beautiful girl's eyes, but she still answered gently,
"Of course, my name is Tomie, Kawakami Tomie."
"Oh! Miss Tomie, you are from Japan. That is truly a beautiful country, capable of producing someone as beautiful as you..."
Hearing her name, the soldier lowered his guard even more, praising her, and then reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist.
"I really am beautiful, but Mr. David is a bit too impatient. If Mr. David can tell me where this crack comes from, then tonight..."
Avoiding his hand, Tomie said, stepping closer and running her delicate white fingers across his face.
At that moment, an intoxicating fragrance made his head spin, and he completely forgot the confidentiality agreement, telling everything he knew without reservation.
"Nakano, a somewhat familiar name..."
After listening, Tomie murmured.
After that, she took the soldier's arm and asked gently,
"David, you must have a video of that Nakano cutting this canyon, right?"
"That... The location of that gentleman is known to very few people. This incident was too big and sudden, even we don't have that... But! I have some very old footage on my computer of that gentleman massacring a Greek medical consortium!"
The soldier looked confused, but quickly changed the topic.
"Then take me to see it?"
Hearing about the massacre footage, Tomie became delighted and looked at him.
"Of course, and... you can also stay with me..."
Faced with her request, the soldier immediately agreed and led her toward the camp. What he didn't know was that there was no intimacy in her eyes, only immense disgust.
Back in Japan, Nakano Yu was talking with Itsuki in the car.
When they found Nakano Maruo, they realized he had not even left the garage yet.
Seeing them, Maruo decided to drive to the cemetery himself.
"Itsuki, why did you come?"
"Itsuki wanted to, so I brought her."
"We should have brought Ichika and the others."
"No way! We go every month!"
Soon they arrived at the cemetery where Nakano Reina was buried.
The cemetery was large and remote, not luxurious.
When Reina died, Maruo was not yet successful.
Later he did not move her, because her real body was already safe.
Arriving in front of the grave, Maruo sat down, while Yu and Itsuki stood behind.
Then Maruo said something shocking:
"Reina, I can revive you…"
