Restricted Fantasy I Chapter 314: Mask

In fact, Mouse Sakuramiya running back to Bai Yi's side was completely unplanned, and naturally, her mocking of Bai Yi was as well.

According to the plan she had made with the other Sakuramiyas, she was supposed to co into reality to lure the Perfect Sakuramiya who was hunting her back into the Barrier, where the other waiting Sakuramiyas would join forces to kill her.

But just as she lured Perfect Sakuramiya away, she discovered a massive problem:

She could not outrun Perfect Sakuramiya.

Perfect Sakuramiya, who had gained a stamina boost from killing Frail Sakuramiya, was not on the sa level as her at all. Moreover, there were only a few Barrier entrances in the school, and all of them were quite a distance away.

After running only a few ters, Mouse Sakuramiya realized that with her stamina, she would likely be hacked to death by Perfect Sakuramiya halfway there. Thus, in a stroke of inspiration, she ran back to Bai Yi.

But right after sitting down, Bai Yi's single sentence provoked her.

Mouse Sakuramiya could not help but recall the sunny, lovestruck appearance she and Yurianna had secretly observed earlier. Paired with Bai Yi's breathtakingly beautiful face, she seed to be radiating light.

The dazzling light emitting from Bai Yi made Mouse Sakuramiya feel uncomfortable and even jealous, despite her and Yurianna hiding in the shadows at the ti.

As a result, ignoring the fact that the murderous Perfect Sakuramiya was right behind her, she subconsciously opened her mouth to provoke her.

Who knew that a single sentence would instantly push Bai Yi into an overheated state.

"You, you, you... You dare play ?!"

Bai Yi's stunning face flushed crimson, a color so deep that even her foundation could not hide it.

Mouse Sakuramiya belatedly pursed her lips, realizing she had unnecessarily complicated things.

But at that very mont, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of the pocket watch tightly gripped in Bai Yi's hand.

"..."

Her eyes flashed slightly as a brilliant plan seemingly ford in her mind.

"Hitomi, how is your health?"

Just as she was about to speak, Sakuramiya Lily took advantage of the gap to walk over from behind, asking about her well-being.

"Mama..."

When Mouse Sakuramiya turned around and saw her mother, tears almost fell from her eyes.

After all, ever since Perfect Sakuramiya began her massacre, it had been a long ti since she had seen her mother.

But she held it in, maintaining the exact sa expression Perfect Sakuramiya had worn earlier to avoid exposing any flaws.

"I am just a little tired from walking. I will be fine after sitting here with my classmate for a while."

"Alright, we will be right over there. We will probably be staying for a bit longer, as your Principal Hers is still pitching his building donation project to your Aunt Elvira and Aunt Ye."

Sakuramiya Lily didn't notice any inconsistencies. She simply touched Sakuramiya Hitomi's forehead and said with concern,

"With your body in this condition, will you be able to handle the sumr internship at the Jinshi Group? Don't let Yan Huan, Ye Shiyu, and your future colleagues laugh at you."

Hearing this, Mouse Sakuramiya narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly absorbing so important information.

"It will be fine, Mama."

"I hope so. Then I will head back first."

"Mhm."

Sakuramiya Lily smiled faintly, then glanced at Bai Yi beside her, covering her mouth as she spoke.

"Student Bai, your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell too?"

"Ah, um... No, Auntie."

"Hehe, that's good. Well then, Hitomi, you two best friends chat here for a while. We will be over there, so co find us when you have rested."

"Mhm!"

Bai Yi's lips stiffened slightly. Unleashing the greatest acting performance of her life, she forced a smile and waved goodbye to Sakuramiya Lily's back.

However, the mont Sakuramiya Lily left, Bai Yi's beautiful face collapsed, instantly returning to its overheated state.

anwhile, Sakuramiya Hitomi turned back around, covering her mouth with an amiable smile, and finally responded to her previous words.

"That's right, I was just playing with you. What about it?"

"Sakuramiya Hitomi!! I am asking you, did you give Yan Huan a flower or not, and did he accept it?!"

Mouse Sakuramiya narrowed her eyes, tilted her head, and said with a smile,

"Guess."

Bai Yi's pupils shrank. She gripped the flower in her hand tightly, and in a fit of rage...

She just got angry.

"Wu! Sakuramiya Hitomi!!"

Why didn't Mouse Sakuramiya continue to solidify the lie that she had successfully completed the Flower Presentation Dance Invitation yesterday?

Because if she did, Bai Yi would probably imdiately get up and leave to find the President to confirm the matter again.

Which ant her current anger would shift from herself to the President.

Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu had different personalities, and their thods for dealing with romantic rivals were completely different.

If it were Ye Shiyu, handling it this way would be absolutely fine. Ye Shiyu possessed an incredibly unyielding personality; she would have likely hit her with a Zero-Fra Activation Hypnosis before she even finished speaking.

But if it was Bai Yi...

Well, she would most likely first evaluate whether she could win a catfight against the romantic rival in front of her.

And in ninety-nine percent of cases, she would conclude that she could not.

Then, despite acting tough with her words, her body would honestly concede defeat and run away.

This girl Bai Yi only dared to use her Superpower to bully ordinary people like the President. Whenever she encountered other superpower hosts, she would generally just concede.

All of her skill points were invested in running away.

Under these circumstances, if she continued to confirm the fact of the Flower Presentation Dance Invitation, even if she could temporarily defeat her on the battlefield of love...

The mont she left, Perfect Sakuramiya would charge out and chop Self-Doubting Sakuramiya into minced at.

Therefore...

"Who told you to be the only one absent yesterday afternoon while the rest of us were there? Of course you wouldn't know anything."

"However, you don't have any special relationship with the President, do you? Didn't you just imagine that the President liked you?"

"The President... well, at best, he is just an unfamiliar music fan of yours, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi imdiately grew anxious and hastily retorted,

"That is not true! Yan Huan, he... he clearly said he would confess to ! Is that not considered liking ?!"

"Confess to you? When?"

"This..."

Bai Yi blinked. Not knowing the answer for a mont, she could only anxiously retort,

"Anyway, it will be at an appropriate ti!"

"Mhm."

Mouse Sakuramiya tapped her lips, asking in feigned confusion,

"But if the President really likes you, and soone gave him flowers yesterday, shouldn't he have told you about it to prevent any misunderstandings?"

"Did you receive any ssages from the President yesterday?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and her expression instantly froze.

The answer was already glaringly obvious.

"Hehe. If that's the case, even if the President did like you before..."

Seeing this, Mouse Sakuramiya figured she had pushed enough. Leaning close to Bai Yi's ear, she whispered,

"He doesn't want you anymore~"

Bai Yi's eyes widened, her face instantly draining from red to pale.

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

Despite saying this, her voice was filled with a noticeable tremble.

Clearly, she was genuinely terrified that she was just another fish in Yan Huan's pond.

Could it be that he was really just playing with her?

Could it be that he rely liked listening to her songs, and then enjoyed the feeling of conquest by watching an idol he liked beco infatuated with him instead?

How...

How could it be like this...

I truly like him, and this is even my first love, I...

"..."

Seeing Bai Yi's frightened appearance, Mouse Sakuramiya couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity.

But to survive and complete the grand plan of killing Perfect Sakuramiya, she had no choice but to resort to this low blow.

'Sorry, Bai Yi. Now that things have co to this, I can only keep going.'

"Haha, you are right. I was just joking. It's not like I am a mind reader who knows the President's thoughts. Everything I just said was just my guess."

"...Huh?"

Bai Yi turned her head blankly. Looking at Sakuramiya Hitomi, she once again saw that joking smile.

"..."

Subsequently, her small face, previously full of fear, gradually turned red once more.

This ti, she was truly about to erupt like a volcano.

"You, you, you..."

But Sakuramiya Hitomi was still adding fuel to the fire.

"However, there is one thing I am certain of. Regardless of what happens at the High Table Dinner, the President, Ye Shiyu, and I have all been invited by the Jinshi Group for a sumr internship. It will last for several months..."

Sakuramiya Hitomi laughed, then looked at Bai Yi again.

"Guess who didn't get invited?"

"..."

Bai Yi's hands trembled more and more, and her face grew redder and redder.

Her stunning little face was gradually overtaken by the sheer rage of being toyed with. At this mont, she no longer cared about whether she could win a fight or not.

The only thing she could think about right now was:

She was going to get revenge on this hateful jerk right in front of her!

"Fine, fine... Sakuramiya Hitomi... You forced

to do this!!"

Toggling between relief, anger, and fear, Bai Yi finally couldn't hold back anymore. In the next second, she gritted her teeth and raised the pocket watch in her hand.

'Here it cos!'

Seeing this, the Mouse Sakuramiya in front of her did not panic at all. Instead, she revealed a triumphant smile.

anwhile, behind Bai Yi, Perfect Sakuramiya's expression changed slightly as she watched her raise the pocket watch.

'Oh no!'

"Just you wait, Sakuramiya Hitomi! I'm going to draw turtles all over your face!!"

Saying this, Bai Yi ground her teeth and fiercely pressed the pocket watch in her hand.

"Tick-tick-tick-tick!!"

In an instant, an invisible wave, much like a nuclear explosion, rippled outward from Bai Yi's pocket watch.

Everything in the world gradually grew colder and slower...

It was as if the entire worldline had been frozen solid.

"Click!!"

"Tick... tock..."

In the distance, inside the gymnasium where he was currently giving Ye Shiyu hands-on volleyball lessons, Yan Huan paused slightly and furrowed his brow.

He had just turned his head when he was hit head-on by the expanding invisible wave, freezing his entire body in place.

'Ti Stop?!'

'Bai Yi?!'

'What are you doing?!'

Everything was instantly suspended in motion. Yan Huan couldn't tell if it was just an illusion, but he felt that the colors of the world during this Ti Stop seed a bit dimr compared to before...

"ow!"

Besides Aruiya, who was twitching in place due to the Resistance from the Thumb Modifier, only Myau-chan could move freely.

"What happened, ow? Why did Bai Yi suddenly activate Ti Stop?!"

"How should I know?"

Frozen in place, unable to even move his eyes, Yan Huan could only converse with Myau-chan telepathically.

"Why don't you go check?"

"Ugh... The incident is fifteen ters away, ow. I can't go over there. Plus, it feels super dangerous over there. If I go, I might not co back, ow!"

Hearing this, it was a good thing Yan Huan's expression was frozen right now; otherwise, his face would have definitely darkened.

"Useless!"

"ow?!"

However, it was unclear if Myau-chan's words were prophetic...

Because in the next second, a far more violent sound of shattering erupted from the direction of the Ti Stop wave.

'What's going on?!'

Perspective rapidly shifted through the stadium, past the three wealthy ladies frozen in place, and back to the resting bench in the distant woods.

Bai Yi had just frozen ti, panting and puffing her cheeks out as she prepared to enact revenge on Sakuramiya Hitomi...

But the mont she started to move, she suddenly saw that on the body of the smiling Sakuramiya Hitomi in front of her...

Horrifying cracks were slowly beginning to appear?

Her body, her clothes, and even her face were gradually being fractured into terrifying cracks by that invisible wave.

"You..."

Seeing this, Bai Yi's eyes shrank, seemingly frightened by her condition.

But...

This was Mouse Sakuramiya's escape route!!

Do not forget, the reason she and Perfect Sakuramiya could walk in reality was that their bodies were constantly enveloped by a Barrier.

And once Bai Yi's Ti Stop ca into contact with a Barrier, that Barrier would instantly shatter.

Therefore, since Mouse Sakuramiya couldn't run back to a Barrier entrance, she simply used this thod to destroy the Barriers wrapped around them.

Doing so would instantly force them back into the Barrier.

"Crack-crack-crack-crack!!"

Just rember, Bai Yi knew absolutely nothing about this inside information.

Thus, from her perspective...

Right after she activated Ti Stop, terrifying cracks inexplicably began appearing on Sakuramiya Hitomi's body.

And in the very next second, right before her eyes...

Sakuramiya Hitomi simply... exploded!?

"Crack!!"

At the mont the Barrier shattered, both Sakuramiyas disappeared from their spots along with the explosion.

The effect of Ti Stop ended. Still reeling from the shock, Bai Yi also instantly suffered the side effect of ending Ti Stop.

"Blegh!!"

Her face instantly paled. Covering her mouth, she dropped to one knee on the ground and began to dry heave.

Yet, compared to the physical discomfort, the ntal terror she was experiencing was far more overwhelming.

Because...

"Sakuramiya Hitomi, you... please don't scare ... I just wanted to ss with you, I didn't an to... I didn't do it on purpose, I..."

She seemingly thought her ability had unknowingly evolved, and that she had actually murdered Sakuramiya Hitomi.

This kind of thing was simply too much stimulation for a young girl like her.

For a mont, just thinking about it made her uncontrollably terrified, even causing tears to spill out.

"Click!"

anwhile, inside the gymnasium, Yan Huan instantly returned to normal as Ti Stop ended.

Ye Shiyu was completely unaware of the Ti Stop, so her expression remained exactly the sa.

Only Aruiya plumped down onto the floor, dizzy and confused, seeing stars as she sat there with a bewildered look.

"Ugh... My head... my head hurts so much, ow..."

"Aruiya, are you alright?"

"Ugh... I'm fine..."

Yan Huan glanced at her with concern. After confirming she was okay, he casually glanced in the direction the Ti Stop had co from outside and said to Ye Shiyu,

"I will go out and buy a bottle of water for her, Sister Shiyu."

"..."

Ye Shiyu didn't respond; she rely watched as Yan Huan ran outside.

Leaving through the side door, Yan Huan avoided alerting the three mothers standing at the main entrance and sprinted toward the resting chairs in the side woods where the incident had occurred.

There, only Bai Yi was left, sitting on a chair with a pale face, continuously dry heaving and crying, "Wuwu... wuwuwu... I... I didn't do it on purpose..."

"Bai Yi!"

Seeing her state, Yan Huan grew even more confused. He ran over and sat down beside her.

"Wu... Yan... Yan Huan... wuwuwuwu!!"

Bai Yi looked up. The mont she saw it was Yan Huan, she completely lost all control and burst into loud wails.

She threw herself at him, hugging him tightly, and buried her face into his neck as she cried.

"..."

Yan Huan stared wide-eyed in a daze, still having no idea what had happened. Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gently patted her.

"It's alright, everything's okay..."

"Wuwuwu..."

Compared to Yan Huan, Bai Yi's fra was extrely slender.

With her legs folded, she kept burrowing deeper into his arms. She was clearly frightened and lacking a sense of security.

Unaware of it herself, the more she did this, the deeper she completely fell into Yan Huan's embrace.

She sat on Yan Huan's lap, her own thighs pressing against his lower abdon, while her arms wrapped around his shoulders. It looked exactly as if she was hanging off of him.

"Wuwuwu..."

"So, can you tell

what exactly happened?"

Frowning, Yan Huan decided to ask.

Although it was highly likely Bai Yi wouldn't ntion the Modifiers, asking this was the reaction of a normal person. Moreover, even if she omitted the Modifiers, any extra bits of information she let slip would allow Yan Huan, who held an information advantage, to deduce what had just occurred.

"It... it's just that earlier, Sakuramiya... wu..."

Prompted by Yan Huan's question, Bai Yi imdiately lifted her pale face and spoke pitifully.

'Sakuramiya?'

'Was Sakuramiya just here?'

Yan Huan's heart skipped a beat as realization began to dawn on him.

'Right, it seed to be like this when we were in Sakura Country too.'

'As long as Bai Yi activates Ti Stop, Sakuramiya's Barrier breaks.'

'Could it be that just now, Bai Yi wanted to use Ti Stop to do sothing bad, but ended up shattering the Barrier wrapping Perfect Sakuramiya?'

'With the Barrier broken, Perfect Sakuramiya can no longer exist in reality, so she should have returned to the Barrier domain by now.'

'Don't tell

this silly girl Bai Yi thinks she blew Sakuramiya Hitomi up by activating Ti Stop?'

"..."

Yan Huan had managed to guess about eighty or ninety percent of the truth, but Bai Yi was entirely oblivious to it.

She simply began gesturing wildly with her hands, her words slurred and incoherent.

Unfortunately, her brain was complete mush at the mont.

There was too much she wanted to say, but it all got clogged in her throat, rendering her speech an unintelligible ss.

She wanted to ask about Yan Huan receiving the flower yesterday...

But this could simply be fake news fabricated by Sakuramiya Hitomi to ss with her.

If it wasn't true, and she doubted Yan Huan like this, would he feel that she was being troubleso again and enter a cold war with her like before?

"..."

Then, what about his sumr internship?

But how was she supposed to bring that up?

Say she was a bit jealous and didn't want him to go intern with those dangerous girls? How could she do that?

This was Yan Huan's job, a matter concerning his future, and seemingly a private matter regarding his family's Ye International. She had neither the right nor the reason to stop him from doing the internship.

"Wu..."

Ah, and also, earlier she only wanted to get revenge on Sakuramiya Hitomi and hadn't ant to hurt her, but...

But she literally exploded right in front of her!

She didn't... didn't an to do it...

Bai Yi wanted to explain all of this to Yan Huan and express just how frightened she was.

But she suddenly rembered that all of this involved superpowers, sothing she absolutely could not let Yan Huan know about!

"Sniff"

Consequently, with so many thoughts and words swirling in her mind, they remained trapped in her throat, completely unsaid.

This only made her feel more and more wronged, and her tears flowed more heavily.

Then, Yan Huan watched as Bai Yi pitifully sniffled, hugged him even tighter, and mumbled grievance-filled words to him,

"My stomach... my stomach hurts so much... Yan Huan..."

"..."

Yan Huan knew she definitely had other things to say, but she had kept them all bottled up.

In the end, she could only articulate the physical pain she was feeling from activating her Modifier.

Gently patting her back, Yan Huan felt her icy body and couldn't help but frown.

'So cold...'

'Is this a side effect of the Modifier?'

"Let

take you to the Infirmary, Bai Yi. You're freezing."

"Mhm..."

Bai Yi simply continued to hug Yan Huan's neck, not wanting to let go at all, her consciousness appearing slightly hazy.

But just as Yan Huan was about to stand up, he felt sothing poking against his neck.

He paused slightly, reached out his hand, and felt the outline of a small flower.

"..."

His eyes shrank as he gently grasped the flower that was poking him.

The mont he took it, Bai Yi's grip loosened.

Evidently, this flower was originally intended to be given to him.

"Bai Yi..."

Yan Huan glanced at her, but Bai Yi's little face was pale. Battered by the terror and the severe side effect of Ti Stop, she could no longer hold on.

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan couldn't help but laugh involuntarily.

It seed like every ti she used her Modifier, she either heavily struck her teammates or heavily struck herself.

It truly was quite pitiful.

"Wu..."

She had lost consciousness, so carrying her princess-style would be difficult.

Yan Huan simply set her back down on the chair, intending to carry her on his back to the Infirmary.

Yan Huan had not expected that this subconscious action would save his life.

"Little Huan?"

Right at that mont, a cold, ghostly female voice drifted from a short distance behind him, causing his body to stiffen in fright.

With his back facing the person behind him, he calmly tucked the flower Bai Yi had brought for him into his breast pocket.

Only then did he turn his head, his forehead breaking out in a slight sweat, to look at Ye Shiyu, who had co searching for him.

"Sister Shiyu, thank goodness you're here! Hurry, right after I ca out, I found Bai Yi lying here looking unwell. I don't know what happened to her..."

"I was just thinking about going back to ask for your help so we could take her to the Infirmary together."

Hearing this, Ye Shiyu glanced at Bai Yi, who was lying on the chair rather than resting in Yan Huan's arms, and felt a slight warmth in her heart.

Because Little Huan saying this ant he had considered the boundaries between n and won, consciously keeping his distance from Bai Yi.

And his distance with her was...

"...Just leave her to . Go buy water for Spencer; she seems unwell too."

"Okay, Sister Shiyu."

Thinking of this, Ye Shiyu loosened her grip on her mobile phone and placed it back into her pocket.

Yan Huan backed away slightly with a smile. Watching Ye Shiyu effortlessly lift Bai Yi into her arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"...I will be right back, Little Huan. When you head back to deliver the water, rember to inform Mama and the others."

"Will do."

Saying so, Ye Shiyu easily carried Bai Yi princess-style and headed toward the Infirmary.

Watching her leave, Yan Huan frowned, casting a sweeping glance at the empty woods around him.

'Sakuramiya...'

'Hiss, what exactly happened just now? I am still a bit concerned.'

'Later, I should head into the Barrier and check on the situation.'

Having made up his mind, Yan Huan turned around and ran in the opposite direction—toward the nearest Barrier entrance, the Athletics Field Equipnt Room.

"..."

anwhile, on Ye Shiyu's side, she was expressionlessly carrying Bai Yi and walking briskly toward the Infirmary.

She was quite pressed for ti, intending to hurry up, dump this Bai Yi girl at the Infirmary, and rush back.

She wanted to resu the hands-on volleyball lesson with Little Huan, terrified of wasting even a single second.

"Wu..."

Right at that mont, the half-asleep Bai Yi in her arms let out a whimper and rested her head against Ye Shiyu's chest.

After feeling it for a second, she revealed a breathtaking smile and softly murmured,

"Yan Huan, your pecs are so big... I love it..."

"..."

Ye Shiyu expressionlessly glanced down at Bai Yi. Little by little, her eyes filled with the murderous disgust of a straight woman,

"Bai Yi... you are truly disgusting."

"Hehe, even if you scold , I still like it..."

"Go drop dead."

"..."

At this mont, inside the Barrier.

"Kill her!"

"Take her down! Risk it all!!"

"Clang!"

In stark contrast to the peaceful daily life outside the Barrier, this place was currently reeking of blood.

Dozens of Sakuramiyas, desperately fighting to survive, had thrown caution to the wind and were ready to risk their lives against Perfect Sakuramiya.

Even soone as strong as Perfect Sakuramiya had gradually lost her absolute suppressive power under the sneak attacks of the other Sakuramiyas who held the numbers advantage.

"Clang!!"

With a cold face, Perfect Sakuramiya kicked away one Sakuramiya, but the mont she turned her head, several long spears and pikes lunged violently at her from behind.

Frowning, she parried several of them but was still forced back by one spearhead. Left with nowhere to dodge, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and fiercely grab the shaft of the spear to stop its advance.

"Perfect Sakuramiya, you are finished!"

The eyes of the Cat Sakuramiya in front of her had completely transford into fierce vertical feline slits. Even the fur on her cat ears and tail stood on end, showcasing her ferocity.

Behind her, many injured Sakuramiyas were still supporting each other. Yet, the mont they stood up, they raised their weapons and glared at Perfect Sakuramiya.

Perfect Sakuramiya was completely surrounded by blades and weapons.

"Is that so?"

However, Perfect Sakuramiya displayed no other emotion. She rely maintained her smile, returning the question.

"Yes!!"

But just as she spoke, a sudden wave of agonizing pain struck her from behind.

Perfect Sakuramiya's pupils shrank, and she turned her head to look.

Only to see Mouse Sakuramiya standing behind her, having appeared without her notice.

Panting heavily, she tightly gripped a dagger, her teeth clenched as she brutally plunged it into Perfect Sakuramiya's body.

"Haha..."

Staring at the dagger buried in her body, Perfect Sakuramiya froze slightly.

Following that, all the strength and vitality in her body seed to slowly seep out through the wound. Even the hand gripping Cat Sakuramiya's spear gradually lost its strength.

Yet Perfect Sakuramiya just continued to stare at Self-Doubting Sakuramiya behind her, and then...

Gave her a aningful, faint smile.

"Crack-crack-crack..."

In the next second, entirely drained of strength, Perfect Sakuramiya collapsed to the ground, losing all signs of life.

She was dead.

"Haha... ha..."

Behind her, Mouse Sakuramiya took a step back, panting. She seed to be in disbelief, unable to fathom that she had actually succeeded.

"Yeah!!"

"We did it!!"

"We defeated her!!"

The surrounding cheers and jumps of joy from countless Sakuramiyas instantly snapped her out of her daze.

Self-Doubting Sakuramiya blankly looked up. In the next mont, countless Sakuramiyas lunged at her, hugging her tightly and tackling her to the ground.

"This is wonderful! From now on, you are Sakuramiya Hitomi!"

"You are the real Sakuramiya Hitomi!!"

"Sakuramiya Hitomi!"

Listening to the countless congratulations and sounds of joy around her, Self-Doubting Sakuramiya finally revealed a heartfelt smile, hugging the Cat Sakuramiya lying on top of her.

"Yes, I..."

"Click~"

But the very instant she opened her mouth, the sound of a door opening echoed out.

All the Sakuramiyas froze slightly, simultaneously looking in the direction of the sound.

They saw Yan Huan gripping a doorknob, standing beside the freshly opened Barrier entrance, staring at everything inside the Barrier in utter shock.

Naturally, this included the body of Perfect Sakuramiya lying on the ground, which was currently disintegrating into powder.

He watched with his own eyes as Perfect Sakuramiya's dead body slowly dissipated.

Ultimately, it turned into a heavily cracked mouse mask.

"Crack~"

In the next second, unable to maintain its form, the mouse mask shattered once again.

It completely crumbled into a pile of fine powder and was blown away by the wind, as if it had never existed in the first place.
