Added 2025-10-02 18:06:19 +0000 UTCChapter 36: Reward! The Furious Chuunibyou Gil! A World of Jet-Black Bullets!
【The Sixth Holy Grail War has now concluded】
【Fate world ended】
【Ding! This round’s contestants—none answered correctly】
【This video has ended】
【Timeline settlement in progress—】
【Character settlement in progress—】
【Reward settlement in progress—(Note: The grand prize goes to the video’s protagonist, distributed in the way most fitting for them)】
【Reward: Fate World, Gilgamesh — Enkidu’s Chains of Heaven, the shackles of tragic fate are released (gender may be chosen freely)】
As the reward was announced, silence fell across all realms.
It wasn’t that the reward was bad.
The Chains of Heaven, that legendary weapon forged by the gods themselves to counter Gilgamesh, had always borne countless restrictions and shackles.
Those shackles had once caused Enkidu’s tragic death.
Now, with them broken, it was undeniably a good thing.
But… what was with this “choose gender freely” part?!
Everyone knew Enkidu was without gender. Now they were being assigned one?
What kind of bizarre reward was this?
Wait—everyone suddenly remembered, the reward always manifested in the way most aligned with the winner’s wishes. Could it be… this was Gilgamesh’s wish?!
Hiss… Thinking deeper was terrifying. I treated you as a brother, and you—wanted to f me?!*
……….
[Oregairu World]
“This… this counts as a reward?!” Hachiman stared at the screen in shock, his dead-fish eyes conjuring all sorts of indescribable scenarios.
“Has Hikigaya-kun already fantasized about becoming a girl in the future? In that case, please don’t appear before me again. Those DNA-filled eyes of yours make me feel physically ill. Thank you,” Yukinoshita Yukino said icily.
“Of course not! It’s To—” Hachiman clamped a hand over his mouth mid-word. But Yukino’s widened, horrified eyes said it all.
Ahhhhh! Even if he dove into Mount Fuji, he could never wash this clean!
……….
[Fate World – Fourth Grail War]
“Humhahahahaha!!! Such a reward was beyond even this king’s expectations!” The oldest Hero King roared with laughter.
As the most ancient Hero King, no reward could move him. In fact, on some level, such things were an insult.
Does the King need charity?
And yet—
“Good. Very good!” Gilgamesh laughed, reaching to claim the reward.
But then, as if struck by realization, he immediately donned golden armor. With a single sweep, his golden hair flared skyward. He leapt atop a conveniently placed streetlamp, arms folded, gaze aloof and majestic.
Only once this absurd ritual was complete did Gilgamesh press to claim the reward—quietly setting Enkidu’s gender to—
But a moment later… nothing happened.
For the first time, confusion flickered in his crimson snake-like eyes. Where is he?
The almighty Eye of Heaven confirmed it: his dearest friend’s existence was real.
But… not here?!
“You mongrel!!! How dare you steal the King’s most precious companion! Damn you, filthy mongrel!!!” The ancient Hero King’s fury shook the heavens.
……….
[Absolute Demonic Beast Front – Babylonia]
“Gil…” Enkidu, their form clearly altered, looked hesitantly at the Gilgamesh seated upon the throne, face stern, pretending to work diligently.
“What is it? Changed bodies and now you can’t face your king?” The Wise King spoke with forced indifference. “Your gender wasn’t chosen by me. Some mongrel seized the chance while I was distracted.”
Enkidu’s face blossomed into a gentle smile. The beautiful green figure stepped forward, taking the clay tablet from Gilgamesh’s hand. “I don’t mind. I only worry that if you keep working like this, one day you’ll suddenly collapse from exhaustion.”
“Hmph.” The Wise King snorted, but his eyes held a joy he had never shown before.
Siduri quietly smiled and slipped away, leaving the two undisturbed.
……….
[Magical Girl Illya World]
“Aiya, seriously, I can’t believe I didn’t get them!” Young Gil pounded his fists in frustration. The female version of Enkidu was his absolute favorite!
But soon he broke into a gleeful grin. “Still, watching that guy get openly cuckolded—he must be livid by now!”
………
【Blue-Hair: “What a shame. They should’ve given a reward that lets you change forms at will—like an office-lady boss, a pure junior, a cool senior, a married woman, or even a petite loli!”】
【Sakata Gintoki: “Hiss… bro, your idea is dangerous… but I like it!”】
【Sanji: “Count me in!”】
【Mystique: “…Is that really how this ability is supposed to be used?”】
【Kyousuke Kosaka: “So it’s like unlimited trial cards versus a fixed role? I think I’d rather stick with fixed roles…”】
【Haruno Sakura: “Ahhh! There’s a pervert in the group chat!”】
【Tsukuyomi Komoe: “Blue-Hair! Sensei doesn’t remember teaching you to be this bad!”】
【Blue-Hair: “Wrong, Teacher Komoe, this was all Kamijou’s idea.”】
【Kamijou Touma: “Damn it! No it wasn’t!!”】
【Satania: “Um… what is a loli anyway? Last time, some old man called me that and invited me to his house to see goldfish.”】
【Gabriel: “…As expected. This filthy world really should just be destroyed.”】
【Hanma Baki: “Alright, alright, enough bickering. Hurry up and start the next video already.”】
……….
[Baki World]
The room was scarred with inhuman marks, clear evidence of a fierce battle that had shaken the very air.
“Kaoru… no, Kozue, thank you,” Baki murmured from the tatami, slipping in strange words even he didn’t understand.
“It’s fine. As long as Baki is happy,” Kozue, drenched in sweat, still showed no signs of exhaustion. In fact, she shifted as if ready to resume the fight once more.
“Ahem… next time. The video’s about to start.”
“…Oh.”
……….
Meanwhile, the screen began to shift, a new round of footage slowly emerging—
【World of Black Bullet】
【A Dirge of Blood and Tears — The Last Hope】
...........
[Black Bullet World]
“They… they actually chose us?!!” On the streets, protesters froze, their eyes suddenly igniting with hope.
Wonderful. With divine aid, surely they could finally wipe out the Gastrea once and for all!
In an instant, the people of this bleak world raised their banners higher, voices united in righteous fury.
“Die! Die! Die!”
From within the safety of their monolith barriers, they roared defiance across the sea at the monstrous horde.
……….
[Code Geass World]
“A dirge of blood and tears, the last hope?”
Lelouch, draped in royal robes upon his throne, gazed coldly at the words on the screen.
What was the “last hope”?
Had that world already fallen into true despair?
Were these monsters… or some other unknown existence?
Or perhaps… someone like him?
He closed his eyes, long fingers drumming softly on the armrest, thoughts concealed behind his mask of calm.
……….
[Black Bullet World]
“Rentaro! If we fight for the world, everything will turn out alright, won’t it?!” Enju Aihara’s crimson eyes shone with hope as she saw their world had been chosen.
“As long as we keep fighting, everyone will accept us!”
“Y-Yeah…” Under the dim light, Satomi Rentaro met the girl’s hopeful gaze and found himself unable to speak further.
---/---
Chapter 37: Should We Fight for the World? Shocked Reactions Everywhere!
Across the multiverse, everyone keenly sensed that this video felt different.
Could it be… this time, the question was about fighting for the world itself?
【This round’s question—Should we fight for the world?】
【Only three contestants may claim answer slots】
【Now beginning buzz-in—Ding! Selected: Uzumaki Naruto, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Emiya Kiritsugu】
Fight for the world? That was the question?!
A Dirge of Blood and Tears, The Last Hope.
For a brief moment, many across the universes seemed to understand something.
Their lips curled upward, and sinister smiles broke out across their faces.
Interesting. Too interesting!!!
——
[Bleach World – Hueco Mundo]
“Heroes who fight purely for the world… do such people truly exist?” Aizen put away the Hōgyoku, his gentle features carrying an unreadable expression.
He too wondered—just how dark could human nature become?
——
[Naruto World]
“Hahahahaha! I got it! I really got it! This is great, awesome! Sakura, did you see that?!” Naruto shouted, ecstatic.
But Sakura ignored him completely, turning toward Sasuke.
“Sasuke-kun—”
“Get lost.”
His three-tomoe Sharingan continued to evolve as Sasuke cast a cold glance at her. Terrified, Sakura collapsed to her knees.
Right now, Sasuke wanted only one thing—the truth behind those broken memories!
Uchiha Itachi… what were you truly fighting for?!
——
【Merlin: “Arah should we fight for the world? That really is such a sharp, weighty question. But if you ask big brother here—of course we must! The world is so beautiful; I could never bear to lose it.”】
【Merry: “You sure it’s not just because you’re afraid you’ll have nothing fun to watch?”】
【Kyubey: “The annihilation of the universe is irreversible. Is the ‘world’ here truly referring to the world?”】
【Riku: “Perhaps… it means fighting for humanity itself…!”】
【Emiya Kiritsugu: “No matter who it’s for, once chosen, you fight for the world.”】
【Uzumaki Naruto: “Heh, saving the world is such a cool thing—of course I’ll do it!”】
【Fujimaru Ritsuka: “You can’t just stand by and do nothing. Even if the pressure is crushing, it has to be done.”】
【Mash: “Senpai, I’ll follow you forever!”】
【Chaotic Evil Gudako: “? Why the hell do we have to save the world? Which bored idiot made up this quest?”】
——
At the same time, the three contestants’ answers lit up on the screen—
【Fujimaru Ritsuka: “Fight for the world.”】
【Emiya Kiritsugu: “Fight for the world.”】
【Uzumaki Naruto: “Fight for the world.”】
【Ding! This answer will be matched against the collective consciousness of the Black Bullet World. The correct answer—‘Yes, we… must fight for the world!’】
——
【
This is a world where doomsday has arrived.
This is a world where order has collapsed.
This is a world that sings a dirge of hell itself—
Colossal monoliths rise to the heavens, emitting strange magnetic fields, scattered through the cities as though fending off some great horror.
On the coastline, ragged and bedraggled young girls stared blankly into the distance, their eyes void of hope.
And at the edge of the sky, an uncanny band of light slowly spiraled, as though bearing witness to it all...
】
——
【Eren: “Don’t tell me… does your world also have Titans? No, wait—if that were the case, wouldn’t those walls have been built without a single gap?!”】
【Reiner: “Eren, calm your lychee. Don’t get too egg-cited.”】
【Eren: “Reiner! How can I lychee at a time like this?! This could be something just like our world! What if they’ve found a way to defeat—or even wipe out—the Titans?!”】
【Conan: “It should be some sort of powerful monster. If humanity could actually resist them or even win, they wouldn’t have fallen into such a state.”】
【Orochimaru: “What interests me is… what’s with that band of light in the sky?”】
【Red A: “Hiss… does that mean your world also has magic?”】
【Tendou Kikunojo: “That band of light’s been there since long ago. And magic? Of course we don’t have it. If we did, those monsters would’ve been dead long ago!”】
【Smoke Mirror: “Hiss… now that’s real fun. Fascinating, far too fascinating!”】
……….
[Fate World]
At the very first moment the video appeared, the being known as Humanity’s Evil lifted its head. Its expression was unreadable—confusion, suspicion, and a haze of doubt.
That stench—unconcealed, suffusing an entire world—needed no guessing.
That world also held…
“An origin-twin…? Or a parallel existence?”
……….
[Chaldea]
“Senpai?!” Mash stared at the light band spiraling across the heavens in the footage, eyes wide with shock.
“This is…” Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned deeply. That light—it was far too familiar.
But in a world completely different from theirs, how could it exist?
“This is impossible!” Doctor Roman trembled, staring at the screen, his entire body quivering.
Unlike Ritsuka and Mash, Romani knew this phenomenon all too well.
It wasn’t just that their world had the light band—more importantly, it was once the Noble Phantasm he had controlled himself!
But why… why was it appearing in that world?!
……….
[Avalon]
“What a… development. Not in a thousand lifetimes would I have imagined this.” Merry nearly pressed her face to the screen, pupils quivering with feverish excitement.
“Why? Why would such a theatrical scene unfold here? This is… this is simply too marvelous!”
“Interesting! Far too interesting! I can’t hold back any longer—!!”
……….
[Fate World – Fourth Holy Grail War]
The enraged King suddenly froze, eyes widening in disbelief. He looked again—and the result was the same.
“I see now… the King understands! Humhahahahaha!!!”
“A world where human history itself has ended, where mongrels writhe in their ugly desperation—what then?! In a world even the future cannot glimpse, how shall mongrels struggle?!”
Delight—pure, unrestrained delight!
Kotomine Kirei silently closed his Bible, empty eyes locked on the screen without wavering.
What was it… that the King had seen?
---/---
Chapter 38: A Post-Apocalyptic Romance World? Bewildered Onlookers
【
Morning cicadas sang, warm breezes drifted in, and brilliant sunlight poured into the room.
“Good morning, Satomi, I’m coming in,” said a voluptuous black-haired girl in a tight black outfit as she pushed open the door.
“Morning, Kisara,” came a drowsy reply from the tatami floor, where an odd pair—one black-haired young man and one orange-haired loli—stirred awake.
Tendo Kisara didn’t even blink at seeing them sleeping together.
“By the way, where’s Tina?” Kisara looked around but saw no sign of the other girl.
Just then, the blanket beneath Rentaro shifted. To Kisara’s shock, a blonde loli crawled out from under it!
Her hair was a tousled golden mess, her fair skin flushed, and her eyes sparkled with joy—while her innocent lips spilled words far from innocent!
“I—I’m calling the police!” Kisara whipped out her phone, glaring at Rentaro as if he were garbage.
“Wait, wait! I just had a little late-night chat with Tina in ‘night mode,’ that’s all!” Rentaro shouted in panic.
“Night mode my ass! You giant pervert!”
“Ugh, Tina beat me to it!” the orange-haired girl, Enju, groaned regretfully.
】
……….
【Blue-Hair: “Damn it! Someone’s already putting theory into practice?!”】
【Sakata Gintoki: “No… come on, anyone who makes a move on girls that young is just human scum.”】
【Sanji: “Aaaaaah! How dare you lay a hand on such adorable ladies! You rotten bastard! You perverted copper-smelter!!”】
【Emiya Kiritsugu: “…And what exactly does this have to do with saving the world?”】
【Rimuru: “Even in another world, stuff like this gets you executed for crimes against humanity. Sir, please turn yourself in immediately.”】
【Satomi Rentaro: “It’s not like that! You’ve got it all wrong!”】
【Kasugano Sora: “Scum.”】
……….
[Fate World]
Kotomine Kirei silently turned his gaze from the screen toward Gilgamesh.
He said nothing, but the emptiness in his eyes conveyed everything: So this is what you’re into?
The Oldest… Loli King?
“Fools!!!” Even Gilgamesh, the Ancient Tiger himself, looked flustered under that gaze. The King roared, “Keep watching!”
……….
[No Game No Life Zero World]
“Riku, what is a ‘copper-smelter’?” Shuvi tugged at him curiously.
“Uh…” Riku’s face turned crimson. He’d never heard the term, but after seeing that scene, he didn’t need it explained.
Damn that Satomi Rentaro, to pull something like that!
Wait…!
Riku quickly lowered his head, meeting Shuvi’s eyes.
Shuvi… surely doesn’t count as a loli, right?!
……….
[One Piece World]
“AAAAHHH! That guy is too envi—no, too hateful!” Sanji dropped to his knees, raging at Rentaro’s conduct.
To live so closely with three lovely ladies at once—Kisara with her perfect figure, the mischievous Enju, and Tina too!
“If it were me, I’d happily live in a villa, eating fine food and drinking good wine, as long as I got to stay with such beauties!”
“Pervert, drop dead!” Nami smashed him with a punch, sending him flying.
……….
Marine Headquarters
“Pathetic.” Akainu snorted, turning his scarred face away.
This… disgusting nonsense was actually worthy of the multiverse broadcast?
Utterly laughable!
……….
[Crown Time Temple]
“…Could it be I was mistaken?” Goetia’s expression twisted in doubt, questioning his very existence.
But no—the footage clearly showed…
He clenched his jaw. Better to keep watching.
……….
【Scene shift】
【
Amidst ruins—
A group of little girls sat patiently on stools, as though waiting for their teacher to begin class.
And indeed, that was exactly the case.
Satomi Rentaro and Tendo Kisara stood at a blackboard, introducing themselves to the children.
“I’m Satomi Rentaro. From today, I’ll be your teacher.”
“My hobbies are observing insects, collecting plants, I also like microbiology… and I know some martial arts. Do you have any questions?” Rentaro’s words stuttered awkwardly—clearly, this was his first time teaching.
But the girls didn’t mind in the slightest. Their jewel-like red eyes sparkled with excitement, and when his words ended, they all raised their hands at once.
“Me! Me! Me!”
“Okay, you on the right,” Rentaro pointed, startled by their enthusiasm.
“Teacher! I heard you and Enju are living together with marriage as the goal. Is that true?” a blue-haired girl asked curiously.
“Of course it’s true!” Enju turned around and declared proudly.
The pink-haired girl next to her looked instantly jealous.
“No way! She’s just a freeloader!” Rentaro protested. “Ahem, let’s switch to the other teacher.”
Kisara stepped forward without hesitation, introducing herself confidently, then called on another girl at random.
“Teacher! I heard your chest is so big you can’t even see your feet—is that true?” a white-haired loli blurted.
“H-Huh?!” Kisara recoiled, blushing furiously.
“Is Kisara-sensei dating Rentaro-sensei?”
“Will you two get married?”
They weren’t crude jokes, but pure, innocent questions straight from the heart. The children were simply curious~~
】
……….
【Sanji: “Aaaaaah! My eyes! I can’t take this anymore! Is this guy the protagonist?! He’s too enviable!!”】
【Origami Tobiichi: “So, using the apocalypse as a cover, he builds himself a crystal harem? Shido, do you want that too? I can turn into a little girl if you like.”】
【Itsuka Shido: “No way!!”】
【Kyubey: “…Girls, would you like to become magical girls? I can grant your wishes.”】
【Natsuki Subaru: “So that’s it—this is basically like the pure slice-of-life world I landed in!”】
【Satou Kazuma: “Damn it! Why didn’t I reincarnate in that world?! Even if Aqua came along, I wouldn’t mind!”】
【Misaka Mikoto: “If this were a manga, it’d be a romance drama in doomsday skin. But… aren’t those kids a bit too young?”】
【Conan: “Could it really be that simple? Then what do ‘A Dirge of Blood and Tears, the Last Hope’ actually mean?”】
……….
Across the Multiverse,
Many spectators, realizing this was some sort of post-apocalyptic romance world, didn’t show disgust or impatience.
After all, watching others fall in love could be entertaining, and the kids really were adorable.
Hearing their blunt, wolfish words had even made the audience laugh—such pure children were rare these days.
And yet… something didn’t feel right.
……….
[Detective Conan World]
“Could it be they all took that drug too?” Conan glanced suspiciously at Haibara Ai.
“Yes, yes. I crossed over, gave all the kids the drug, and turned them into lolis,” Haibara rolled her eyes.
“I was just joking. But those kids are oddly precocious,” Conan admitted awkwardly.
“Precocious? Or strange?” Haibara’s voice grew oddly heavy.
“Eh?”
“They’re seven or eight years old, yet their minds are so simple. Why is class being held in the middle of ruins? Wasn’t there a city at the beginning?”
“And compared to Satomi and Tendo, aren’t the kids’ clothes far too plain? Why are they so overwhelmingly excited just to meet a teacher?”
“And why… are they all girls?” Haibara’s eyes narrowed at the screen.
Yes… why indeed?
Conan suddenly realized—it might not be as innocent as it looked.
……….
[Fate World – Chaldea]
“Could it be… I was overthinking?” Doctor Roman fell silent, staring at the screen.
His instincts screamed that world was hiding something monstrous. But the reality seemed ordinary. Aside from that strangely familiar light band, nothing was amiss.
“I hope… it isn’t what I think.”
……….
[Black Bullet World]
“Monster! Get out!!!”
“Damn Gastrea! Because of you slaughtering everywhere, my family—!!”
“Get out! You’re not welcome here!”
“Begone, monster!!”
“Can’t you see?! Even God wants you wiped out!”
“That’s not true… I’m human too!”
When Rentaro arrived, he was met with furious shouts and one child’s desperate protests.
And there, amidst the chaos, he saw her—broken, devastated.
“Enju…” Rentaro began, but stopped at the sight of her eyes, brimming with blood and tears.
“You lied, Rentaro.” Her face was drenched in sorrow. She choked out through sobs, “You promised… you promised if I fought for the world, everyone would accept me.”
“Even so… even so, do I still have to fight?!!”
---/---
### Chapter 39: The Truth! Is This Hell?!!
[
The pitch-black night sky.
Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara were riding in a helicopter, searching for the “Five-Star Legacy.”
“Wait… what is that?!”
The pilot suddenly stiffened, staring down in shock.
Amidst the dark night, a monstrous spider was sprawled across a vast web that drifted with the wind!
“It’s a Gastrea! It actually wove its nest into the shape of a parachute to drift through the air. It can really fly into the sky using that principle…” Rentaro’s eyes widened at the scarlet-eyed creature.
]
---
[Eren: “So it’s finally here? A monster invading the human world! Gastrea? Looks like they’re monsters that attack humans too.”]
[Naruto Uzumaki: “Uwaaah! Is that still a spider?! So creepy—why is it that huge?! How do you even fight something that big?!”]
[Saeko Busujima: “That world doesn’t look completely overrun yet. And they still have helicopters. They must be using firearms to bring those things down.”]
[Chitose Karasuma: “No, that would waste far too much ammunition.”]
---
[
The next instant, a fierce gust tore through the cabin.
Rentaro spun around in alarm.
“Enju! Wait—Enju!”
To his horror, the orange-haired loli leapt from hundreds of meters in the air!
The roaring wind howled past her, but her expression was cold and resolute.
]
---
[Shirou Emiya: “Hold on—?! What’s going on?! Why did she suddenly jump?!”]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: “…Could it be…”]
[Naruto Uzumaki: “Aaah! She doesn’t want to live anymore?! Jumping from that height in one go?!”]
[Yukari Yakumo: “Doesn’t look like despair to me.”]
[Orochimaru: “Either a fool… or a true powerhouse. But for such a child? How baffling.”]
---
[
The girl plummeted like a meteor.
In the darkness, her eyes suddenly glowed blood-red.
Her body shot straight toward the flying Gastrea—
“ROOOOAR!!”
The monster shrieked, only to be slammed down by the crushing force of the girl’s dive.
Rentaro hurriedly slid down on a rappel line to the ground. By the time he landed, the girl was already facing off against the terrifying beast.
A body dozens of meters tall.
Every leg like a sharpened blade.
Eyes burning with malice and killing intent.
And against it, the girl looked no more than a fragile doll.
“Shhhhk!”
Dozens of webs fired at her like cannon blasts—
But to everyone’s shock, her figure flickered like a phantom, slipping past every single strike.
Her right leg braced.
The ground split beneath her heel.
She launched herself like a bullet straight at the Gastrea—
One devastating whip kick shattered the monstrous spider apart in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, the battle was over. The girl stood without a scratch.
From the monster’s torn abdomen, a white case tumbled free.
Mission complete.
]
---
[Sanji: “Damn it! Not only beautiful, but that strong too?! Just what kind of insane luck does this Satomi guy have to make Enju-chan choose him?!”]
[Iskandar: “Magnificent! A splendid battle! Little girl, have you any interest in becoming one of my retainers?!”]
[Artoria: “That was… a beast’s instinct.”]
[Satania: “Awawawa! With that power, Great Demon Lord Satania acknowledges you! Become my vassal, Aihara Enju!”]
[Orochimaru: “That reaction time, battle sense, and sheer striking power… it rivals a Chūnin, perhaps even a Jōnin. To see such skill from a mere child—astonishing.”]
[Eren: “So this is that world’s secret weapon against the monsters… but hasn’t this already surpassed the boundaries of humanity?!”]
[Vice Admiral Tsuru: “So the adults are just auxiliaries… and the true fighters are the children?”]
[Hashirama Senju: “No… no matter what, sending children this young onto a battlefield is too cruel. Not even in our chaotic era did we go that far.”]
---
[
The battle was over.
But the imagined joy and admiration never came.
Instead, the deep darkness seemed to breed only despair and twisted emotions.
“Enju!” Rentaro Satomi called anxiously.
“Rentaro… I beat it. The mission’s done. How about it… I fought, right?”
The scarlet in the girl’s eyes faded away, leaving only a faint shimmer in her gaze.
In the silent night, her small figure looked so lonely and fragile.
“…Yeah.” Rentaro couldn’t even bring himself to meet her eyes.
“I protected my classmates, and everyone at school…”
Tears streamed down, unstoppable. Aihara Enju sobbed in pain.
The hurt in her body was nothing compared to the agony in her heart—
unaccepted, misunderstood, mistrusted.
That child’s heart, once pure as a blank sheet of paper, was now layered with sorrow.
She threw herself into the boy’s arms, crying with all the anguish of her soul.
]
---
[Sanji: “Ehh?! Why is this adorable lady crying? Is she hurt?! Bastards! How could anyone bear to make such a cute girl cry?!”]
[Aizen: “Not physical pain… but mental torment. Gentlemen, we are drawing closer to the truth.”]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: “Could it be… they’re being forced to fight?”]
[Merry: “Hehe, who knows? Maybe the truth goes far beyond that.”]
Across the multiverse, even the dullest spectators realized something was wrong.
Why was the girl crying?
What was the truth?
Was what they were seeing even real?
Silence fell. Eyes turned to the screen, deep and searching.
---
[Fate World – Fourth Holy Grail War]
“What a child… so young, so lost in pain.”
Kotomine Kirei pressed a hand to his chest. For the first time, he directly experienced pain… and the strange pleasure it brought.
[Naruto World]
“How could this be…” A bad premonition gnawed at Naruto’s heart.
---
[
In a shopping mall corner, a heavy, mournful song echoed.
A girl—dirty all over, her eyes covered with a white cloth—held up a wooden sign.
On the sign: “I am a Cursed Child from the outskirts.”
Rentaro froze, staring with solemn confusion.
“Your eyes… what happened? If you’re a Cursed Child, you shouldn’t get sick, right?”
The blind girl stopped singing at the sound of voices.
At his question, she slowly pulled away the cloth.
The sight made Rentaro and Tina flinch in shock.
Yet the girl still smiled faintly.
“My eyes… were filled with lead. My mother hated my red eyes, so she abandoned me.”
Reaching out, she touched Tina’s cheek.
“You’re a Cursed Child too, aren’t you? You’re really pretty.”
“I can only survive by begging others… so other than this smile, I don’t know what face I’m supposed to make.”
Her expression never changed.
A metallic clink. The girl bowed, thanking—
but it was only the pull-tab of a soda can.
Two thugs laughed mockingly nearby.
]
---
[Kushina Uzumaki: “Because she hated them… she poured lead into her eyes?! What kind of sick logic is that?! That trash mother deserves to die!”]
[Rin Tohsaka: “Another one, just like the last—parents who are nothing but scum. Absolutely unforgivable.”]
[Artoria: “Unforgivable!”]
[Orochimaru: “I fear the truth runs even deeper. What are Cursed Children, truly? What link do they have to the Gastrea?”]
[Homura Akemi: “This world is already rotten.”]
---
[
In 2021, humanity lost the war against the viral parasitic creatures called Gastrea.
Driven into shrinking territories, people lived on with nothing but fear and despair.
Ten years later, hope resurfaced—in the form of girls who could control the Gastrea virus inside them: the “Cursed Children.”
They were mankind’s final weapon.
But scars from the past carved an unbridgeable rift.
---
In the bustling center of the city, faces twisted by hatred snarled with rage.
Banners were raised:
“For humanity—kill the monsters! Kill the Cursed Children!”
Driven out.
Exiled.
Because they carried the virus within, the girls were treated as tools, forced into endless battles.
Even when they hid in sewers, the world still closed in on them.
Why don’t you just die?
Why do you live?
Why must you exist alongside monsters?
Trampled.
Despised.
Hated!
All the fury of humanity was poured onto the Cursed Children.
]
---
…Is this Hell?
In that moment, countless watchers across worlds froze.
The screen chilled them to the bone.
Cursed Children.
Tools.
Monsters.
The ragged girls, the crying warriors—all the fragments now connected.
As a corner of the truth revealed itself…
No one could believe the world could be so cruel.
]
---
[A Certain Magical Index World]
“AAAAHHH!!! Those filthy bastards!!!”
Electricity crackled violently from Misaka Mikoto. In her eyes burned a fury like never before.
A girl bathed in light—yet forced to face a darkness she had never imagined.
This unreasonable world.
A world drowning in resentment.
A filthy world that would never change.

### Chapter 40: Hope? No, It’s Despair! Die as a Human
[
The city’s buildings loomed under the gloomy sky, oppressive in their silence.
Towering skyscrapers and colossal stone monuments whispered of loneliness and helplessness.
Under the blanket of dark clouds, the world seemed swallowed by shadow.
The howling wind lashed against windows like the melody of a breaking heart, leaving no peace.
On the streets, people marched with torches, shouting grief and despair—
yet never once did they face the abyss of fear itself.
Instead… they only pushed the children step by step into the pit.
When Rentaro Satomi arrived, a pale mist hung low in the valley.
Shattered corpses piled into a mountain of flesh and blood.
And at the deepest point…
lay a small, lonely figure, drenched in blood.

[Sengoku: “Such carnage… are you telling me this was the work of that child alone?!”]
[Orochimaru: “Hard to believe, but reality leaves no room for doubt. The only bodies here belong to Gastrea.”]
[Ash Ketchum: “Too cruel! They actually left this little girl here all alone!”]
[Tsunade: “Haven’t you realized? These people don’t see the girls as human. To them, they’re monsters—tools, nothing more.”]
[Tanjiro Kamado: “No matter what, please, save her quickly!”]
---
[Demon Slayer World]
“Yes! Mister Satomi made it in time!” Tanjiro’s eyes welled with tears.
Looking at this girl, no bigger than his own sister, forced to face such terrifying monsters, Rentaro’s heart trembled.
But thank goodness… she lived. She survived!
Yet—
Tanjiro’s joy froze on his face the next moment.

Rentaro stood before the girl, his voice heavy.
“Why didn’t you run?”
“I… was caught,” Enju whispered weakly.
“Didn’t you say, if things turned against you, you’d escape?” Rentaro pressed.
“Mr. Satomi… where’s Mr. Kanzen?”
Her bloodstained face looked up at him, her right arm shredded to ribbons, blood soaking half her clothes.
That had been her partner.
“…He’s fine.” Rentaro faltered, averting his gaze.

[Naruto Uzumaki: “Why are you just standing around talking?! Save her already! Isn’t she your comrade?!”]
[Kakashi Hatake: “A hero… who sacrifices herself for the sake of the whole.”]
[Madoka Kaname: “She’s this badly injured, she should be taken to a hospital right away.”]
[Kisara Tendo: “…Hospitals don’t accept Cursed Children.”]
---
Across the multiverse, silence fell.
No one had expected this—that the Cursed Children not only lacked human rights, but that even heroes of battle would be denied aid.
Then what meaning was there, in that girl slaying all those monsters and holding on until now?!

[Fallen Angel/Gabriel Dropout World]
“Hey… Gabriel, this has to be a joke, right?”
Satania crossed her arms, laughing in her usual chuunibyou style.
“Even the great Demon Lord Satania couldn’t do something this cruel!”
Her anxious yet hopeful gaze turned to the most outstanding representative of the angelic world.
Gabriel said nothing. She didn’t even dare look into Satania’s innocent eyes.
“…Maybe.”

[Fate World – Fourth Holy Grail War]
“They actually placed the world’s hope on children…”
Kiritsugu Emiya’s face twisted with disbelief.
What were the adults of that world doing?
In the face of a global crisis, all they knew was to wave banners of rage?
“Such young, fragile children…”
Artoria’s eyes softened with sorrow.
She already understood that girl’s fate.
No need for fear—as a hero, even if misunderstood, one could die with pride.
Her saintly blue eyes lowered.
But the very next moment, the scene on the screen made the king’s eyes snap wide open.

[
At the boundary of light and shadow, the girl had reached the end of her path.
From the stump of her severed arm, hideous cells writhed outward.
The Gastrea virus infection rate had already surpassed 50%.
The more she used her power, the faster the infection spread.
No fear, no desperate struggle.
The girl calmly accepted the truth.
A faint sense of release crossed her face as she whispered:
“Please… let me die as a human.”
Her pale cheeks were stained with black blood, yet her eyes carried no ripples.

[Naruto Uzumaki: “Wh—why can she say something like that so easily?! She’s kidding, right?! She can live! What do you mean die as a human—don’t joke around!!” ]
[Makunouchi Ippo: “Damn it! Don’t give up! Believing in miracles is already a miracle in itself! You better live on!!!” ]
[Tanjiro Kamado: “No… no, this can’t be real. How can she say that so calmly?! Please, live! The world really is beautiful!” ]
[Shirou Emiya: “As long as you’re alive, there’s hope! You can definitely be cured!” ]
---
[Demon Slayer World ]
“What… what do you mean, die as a human? Every life is so precious!”
Tanjiro collapsed to his knees, tears flowing uncontrollably.
In that moment, he understood the girl’s plight.
Discrimination.
Fear.
Hatred.
Loathing.
His thoughts flashed to Nezuko.
Ever since she became a demon, everyone’s eyes held only malice—hunts, threats, terror, hatred.
And these girls…from the moment of birth, they had known nothing else.
No one trusted them.
No one loved them.
So for them… had life always been hell?!

[Fallen Angel World]
“I don’t want to die—I don’t want to die!!!”
“Satania may be stupid, but she’s not an idiot!”
The girl shouted with tears in her voice.
“I saw it! I saw the light in her eyes—she wants to live!!”
