Sei Itō immediately opened the Rubik's Cube World and put all the combatants in front of him into the Rubik's Cube World, then he took the Magic Dispelling Tool and Magic Material that he plundered from the Environment Ministry's Hokkaido Branch, as well as various Psychic Wave Capturing Instruments that can be used by ordinary people, and left the Hokkaido Branch Building.
But in the end, Sei Itō, thinking that since he has already destroyed the Hokkaido Branch Building, what's the point of leaving the Hokkaido Branch Building behind? Sei Itō directly launched Decomposition Refining outside the building, destroying the Hokkaido Branch Building into ruins, then he left the scene under the cover of the night and disappeared.
Then in a forest halfway, he flashed into the Rubik's Cube World and appeared in the Ninja Village.
"You all performed very well in this battle," Sei Itō praised the combatants who were still waiting for him in the central square. Then when they looked excited, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "But you still have a lot of shortcomings, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people sacrificed in this simple attack and defense battle."
Hearing Sei Itō's words, the orphaned combatants all lowered their heads in shame. After all, among those who died, excluding the ninjas who were trained by ordinary people, they had the most siblings, a total of five.
As for the ninja clans like the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan, they have long been accustomed to life and death, so although their expressions were slightly gloomy, they didn't show it too obviously like the orphans.
Finally, the ninjas who were selected and trained from ordinary people, because the number of people was the smallest and the number of people who died this time, only one or two of them showed a little excitement. But it's also a normal human behavior.
"But it can't be denied that this is the first formal battle that most of you have participated in. Some of your performance is pardonable. " After a pause, Sei Itō said in a slow tone, "But I hope that you can seriously think about this battle, find your shortcomings to make up for them, make these problems disappear, and work hard to save your own lives and the lives of your companions in future battles."
"Yes." Everyone present responded in unison.
"Now let's disperse, three days later in the morning, we will hold a funeral for the victims," Sei Itō finally announced.
Following Sei Itō's words, the combatants began to disperse. They walked back to their homes in groups of twos and threes.
At this time, Sei Itō's figure flashed and appeared in the hospital where the injured were being treated. He offered his condolences to those who were seriously injured and could only be treated by Sei Itō.
In this way, after dealing with the wounded in the hospital, Sei Itō flashed out of the Rubik's Cube world. He took out his phone and contacted Yellow Springs of Jianshan. At this time, the sky outside had begun to gradually brighten. A bright yellow light appeared on the horizon, illuminating the sky.
"Hello." Jianshan YellowSprings' somewhat lazy voice came from the phone.
"Where is it?" Sei Itō asked.
"The hot spring hotel that we rented," Jianshan Yellow Springs said after he was slightly more awake.
"Got it. I'll be there soon." Sei Itō hung up the phone and waved his hand to summon a Mercedes-Benz. He drove toward Xishan Town.
After more than half an hour, Sei Itō's car entered Xishan Town and arrived near the hot spring hotel that he and Jianshan YellowSprings rented.
Then Sei Itō turned off the engine, got out of the Mercedes-Benz, and waved his hand to put it back into the Rubik's Cube world. Then he leisurely walked toward the hot spring hotel.
"Bang." After returning to the room, Sei Itō closed the door. The wooden door made a muffled sound when it collided with the door frame.
"You're back." Jianshan YellowSprings woke up after hearing the sound of the door and turned over. He faced the direction that Sei Itō came from and said.
"Mhmm." Sei Itō took off his clothes and answered as he walked toward the bed.
"Go take a bath first. The smell of blood on your body is too strong." Jianshan YellowSprings wrinkled his nose and said with a frown.
"Uh … sorry." Sei Itō was stunned when he heard that. He apologized, turned around and left the bed, and walked toward the hot spring pool.
Seeing Sei Itō walk away, Jianshan YellowSprings pulled the blanket on his body and closed his eyes to sleep again. However, after more than twenty minutes, Jianshan YellowSprings was woken up again by Sei Itō who suddenly entered the bed.
"Stop messing around. I want to sleep." Jianshan YellowSprings bent his arm and slapped Sei Itō's hand away from her chest, and muttered in a dissatisfied tone.
"YellowSprings, is there anything you can't let go of in this world?" Sei Itō, whose hand was slapped away, was not annoyed. He directly put his hand on Jianshan YellowSprings' abdomen, pulled her into his arms, and asked softly.
"What do you mean?" Jianshan YellowSprings opened his eyes and asked with a frown.
"Because we're leaving this world." Sei Itō said softly.
"That's why I asked you what you mean." Jianshan YellowSprings said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"It means literally, leaving this world." Sei Itō chuckled.
"Are you sure you're not crazy?" Jianshan YellowSprings turned her head slightly and looked at Sei Itō who was supporting his head with his arm.
"Forget it, I'll let you see it with your own eyes." Sei Itō said with a smile. Then, with a thought, he brought Jianshan YellowSprings, who was only wearing a pair of beige underwear, to the house in the center of the Rubik's Cube world.
"Welcome to my world." Sei Itō, who was shirtless, walked to Jianshan YellowSprings and smiled at her who was a little stunned by the sudden change of environment.
Jianshan YellowSprings, who was awakened by Sei Itō's voice, looked at Sei Itō and asked anxiously, "Your world!?"
"Yes, my world." Sei Itō took Jianshan YellowSprings's hand and entered the inner bedroom. He turned on the TV with the remote control for her to watch, then hugged her from behind and said, "This is the world we will live in in the future."
After a while, Sei Itō asked Jianshan YellowSprings who was watching the TV in a daze, "Then let me ask you again, is there anything you can't let go of in that world?"
"… After we leave, can we still return to that world?" After a moment of silence, Jianshan YellowSprings asked.
"Yes." Sei Itō answered with certainty, "It's just that there will be a time difference between the two worlds. Maybe a long time has passed here, but only a little more than a month has passed in that world."
"Phew, as long as we can come back." Jianshan YellowSprings was slightly relieved, then lowered her head and said softly, "Before we leave, I want to see Kagura."
"The last treasure …" Ito Sei said softly when he heard this.
Hearing Sei Itō's words, Jianshan YellowSprings nodded silently.
"If you can't let go of her, then just take her with you." Sei Itō said, "There are no evil spirits in this world, and all the living facilities are very complete. It's almost no different from that world, so she can live happily here. Not to mention, you can be with her normally. Isn't that good?"
"… I don't know if she'll choose to go with me." Jianshan YellowSprings was a bit moved.
"Then just ask her directly. If she agrees, we'll take her with us." Sei Itō straightened Jianshan YellowSprings's body and looked down at her face.
"… Okay." Jianshan YellowSprings hesitated for a while, then said while biting her lips.
"Okay, then we'll return to Tokyo today and see Kagura." Sei Itō decided. Then, he turned off the TV that he had just turned on and returned to the Spirit Eating World's hotel with Jianshan YellowSprings.
Next, the two of them hugged each other and rested for three to four hours. Then, they both got up and got dressed. After cleaning themselves up, they left the hot spring hotel and took a taxi back to Zara City. From the airport there, they took a domestic flight back to downtown Tokyo.
Then, the two of them took a taxi to Tsutomiya Kagura's home without stopping, preparing to see her.
…
"Let's go in," Sei Itō, who was standing outside Tsutomiya Kagura's residence, said softly while holding Jianshan YellowSprings' hand.
"Okay." Jianshan YellowSprings responded softly and walked over with Sei Itō.
"Ding dong ding dong." Jianshan YellowSprings reached out and pressed the doorbell.
"Coming." Not long after, a girl with a weak voice came from behind the door. Then, with a soft creak, the door that had been closed all this time was opened.
"Yomi!?" Tsutomiya Kagura immediately appeared at the door and looked at Jianshan YellowSprings with a surprised expression.
"Yoho, Kagura." Jianshan YellowSprings smiled lightly and tilted her head to greet Kagura.
"This is …" Tsutomiya Kagura, who had opened the door and was about to talk to Jianshan YellowSprings, only now noticed Sei Itō standing next to her. She asked with a confused expression.
"Hello, Kagura. I'm Sei Itō, Jianshan YellowSprings' boyfriend." Sei Itō let go of Jianshan YellowSprings' hand, raised his hand in front of Tsutomiya Kagura, and introduced himself with a smile.
"Boyfriend!?" Tsutomiya Kagura looked at Sei Itō in surprise.
"That's right." Sei Itō smiled.
"Kagura, are you not going to let us in?" Jianshan YellowSprings reminded her when she saw Tsutomiya Kagura in surprise.
"Oh, oh." Tsutomiya Kagura regained her senses and hurriedly stepped aside to let them in. She said to Sei Itō and Jianshan YellowSprings, "My apologies, please come in."
Sei Itō and Jianshan YellowSprings entered the room, took off their shoes at the entrance, and followed Tsutomiya Kagura into the living room. They sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"I'll go pour you some tea," Tsutomiya Kagura hurriedly said.
"I'll come as well." Jianshan YellowSprings stood up and said.
"No need, I'll do it myself." Tsutomiya Kagura chuckled.
"Let's have YellowSprings come with us." Sei Itō knew that Jianshan YellowSprings wanted to have a good talk with Tsutomiya Kagura.
"Then … okay." Tsutomiya Kagura hesitantly glanced at Sei Itō sitting on the sofa. However, she was full of doubts and wanted to ask Jianshan YellowSprings about it, so she agreed and walked with him to the kitchen.
