[Spirit of Time: "Alright, this time I was indeed too reckless, but I didn't expect the Primordial Spirit to be so strong. I had no power to resist her at all. Luckily, I ran fast, and the Primordial Spirit couldn't cross time to pursue me."]
[Shepherd: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't run fast. The Primordial Spirit won't actually kill you, as it's not time yet."]
[Spirit of Time: "What do you mean?"]
[Shepherd: "Haven't you finished reading? The Primordial Spirit's goal is just to use your spirit crystals to revive someone. Before the timing is completely ripe, she won't attack the Spirits."]
[Spirit of Time: "I really didn't know that."]
[Spirit of Time: "But wasn't she summoned by those three magicians? Why does she want to revive someone? Is it one of those three magicians?"]
[Shepherd: "No, it's just an ordinary person."]
[Spirit of Time: "Could it be that Itsuka Shido?"]
[Shepherd: "You guessed it."]
[Spirit of Time: "I don't understand. The Primordial Spirit has done so much evil, just to revive an ordinary person?"]
[Shepherd: "Fallen Angel, you explain it. And briefly describe the situation with Tokisaki Kurumi, alright? Tokisaki Kurumi."]
[Fallen Angel: "Alright, boss!"]
[Spirit of Time: "Hmm..."]
Subsequently.
It took about ten minutes, and the other group members who hadn't watched the Date A Live anime also understood what had happened to Tokisaki Kurumi.
The chat group fell silent for a while, as the members digested the information they had just received.
And Tokisaki Kurumi was also feeling anxious while waiting.
After joining the group, she had always hidden her past, precisely because she didn't want others to know about her past actions.
Killing friends, killing tens of thousands of people—these are heinous crimes for anyone.
If it were others from this world.
Tokisaki Kurumi wouldn't feel anything.
But after spending some time together, Tokisaki Kurumi knew that the group members were partners she could befriend.
It was precisely for this reason that she didn't want to expose her past evil deeds to the group members who treated her as a friend.
Now that it was exposed, it was also because she didn't want to wait any longer.
Time passed minute by minute.
During Tokisaki Kurumi's anxious wait, her heart was in torment.
Even Gabriel stopped talking.
Tokisaki Kurumi desperately wished she would come out and liven up the atmosphere at this time.
[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Miss Tokisaki Kurumi, how pitiful..."]
[Hells Fubuki: "So you carried such a past, no wonder... I always felt like you were hiding something."]
[Dokushima: "It's truly remarkable to be able to endure something like this alone. If it were me, I would definitely find it hard to bear. I would probably turn into a murderer after my friend died."]
[Spirit of Time: "You... don't you think I'm a heinous villain?"]
The group members' reactions were somewhat unexpected by Tokisaki Kurumi.
It shouldn't be like this.
Why wasn't anyone criticizing her?
[Magic Old Man: "A heinous villain? Why would you think that?"]
[Spirit of Time: "Because I not only killed my best friend, but I also killed over ten thousand innocent people! Those people... weren't criminals in prison, but I killed them to collect time."]
[Ice Queen: "Only ten thousand people? I've killed hundreds of thousands. Do you see anyone calling me a bad person? Because I only kill those who deserve to die—mountain bandits, criminals, enemy soldiers. The more I kill, the more they fear me. They only see me as an unprovokable queen, not some murderous demon."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Your friend was accidentally killed because you were misled by the Primordial Spirit. As for those ten thousand people, although you used entrapment, they were all people with evil intentions. If you were an ordinary person instead of a Spirit, you might have been defiled by those people. In the Netherworld, such people deserve to die."]
[Spirit of Time: "But according to the law, their crimes don't warrant death..."]
[Shepherd: "Tokisaki Kurumi, you have to understand that laws are only for maintaining the bottom line. But for some people, if the law can't punish them, then unconventional methods must be used. So you don't need to blame yourself too much; those people you killed deserved to die."]
[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "That's right, so Miss Tokisaki Kurumi, you really don't need to feel any guilt."]
Tokisaki Kurumi had never expected such a result after revealing her past.
There was no expected blame or cold stares, only understanding and support.
Aside from her parents, whom she hadn't seen in decades, this was the first time Tokisaki Kurumi had received so much care from so many people. (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
For a moment, the girl was almost moved to tears, her eyes reddening.
But she quickly wiped away the traces.
Fortunately, she hadn't started a live stream, otherwise others would have seen her ugly state.
[Shepherd: "So let's discuss solving the Primordial Spirit problem. I happen to have time now."]
[Hells Fubuki: "Are you going to kill the Primordial Spirit? It seems only Rosen can do it."]
[Magic Old Man: "In that case, there's no need for us to go, we can't beat her anyway."]
[Fallen Angel: "Indeed."]
[Spirit of Time: "In that case, will it just be Mr. Rosen alone?"]
[Shepherd: "If you want to go, you can come with me. Consider it a trip."]
[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "I won't go, I guess. I can't help much this time anyway. If it triggers a mission, wouldn't I take away your rewards, Lord Rosen?"]
[Shepherd: "I don't mind, but it's up to you whether you come or not."]
[Spirit of Time: "Then Mr. Rosen, access has been granted to you. You can come over at any time."]
After receiving confirmation, Rosen didn't hesitate. He left a Divine Sense in the room so that Yotsuya Miko and the others, who would return later, would know he had left. He then stepped into the portal leading to the Date A Live World.
