Chapter 2432: Chapter 1631: Girls’ Night Talk (No Games to Buy, No Gacha to Pull) (2)

With a cheerful tone, Hei Chuan Chi Yin finished speaking and then closed her eyes, turned around, leaving Sakurajima Mai alone in bewilderment. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

This...... this isn’t right!

Actually, Sakurajima Mai could understand Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s feelings quite well; she had been saved by Duanmu Huai more than once. Sakurajima Mai still remembered the time when she discovered she was forgotten by the world due to adolescence syndrome. At that time, she finally came to the outside of Duanmu Huai’s apartment, fearing that this last glimmer of hope might disappear with it.

If Duanmu Huai hadn’t seen her then, Sakurajima Mai might have truly disappeared from this world.

Also, during that time on the snowy mountain, it was Duanmu Huai who saved her.

Moreover, Sakurajima Mai admitted that she had a certain special feeling towards Xiao Ai, which is why she chose to move next to Duanmu Huai.

However, Sakurajima Mai felt that her thoughts were different from Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s.

Hei Chuan Chi Yin was willing to sacrifice everything for Xiao Ai, but is this the right path? Sakurajima Mai didn’t think so, which is why she went to Duanmu Huai’s house every day to make dinner for the siblings and eat together. Sakurajima Mai hoped that when Xiao Ai lost control, she would remember that there were still herself and her sister waiting for her at home...... in this way, maybe she would have some attachment.

Especially in that world, after seeing Duanmu Huai’s slaughter against those evil spirits, Sakurajima Mai became more worried. Violent, cruel, merciless, at that time Xiao Ai seemed to unleash the part she had been suppressing entirely, without reservation. One can imagine if this were in the modern world, and if Xiao Ai did the same......

"Ha......"

Thinking about this, Sakurajima Mai silently sighed. Now she understood that she and Hei Chuan Chi Yin were completely on opposite sides. Hei Chuan Chi Yin clearly intended to devote herself wholeheartedly, but...... this didn’t mean she didn’t have advantages.

After all, the bond between me and my sister is very deep, which is already quite an advantage. Moreover, Xiao Ai has praised it before, saying my potato stew tastes good......

As she kept thinking, Sakurajima Mai fell into a deep dream.

The subsequent filming went smoothly, although the mountain remained shrouded in fog, the three never experienced traveling back in time again. However, while Hei Chuan Chi Yin was investigating local customs, she discovered a peculiar record — it was rumored that in the past, this place was threatened by evil spirits and the village was on the brink of destruction. Then, through sincere prayers from the villagers, the deity revealed itself, and three heavenly maidens appeared, annihilated the evil spirits, and restored peace......

Yes, at that time, when the three of them saw this record and the remaining images in the local museum, their expressions were quite complex.

Additionally, even the film’s plot had a subtle change after the trio returned from the past. Initially, the plot described two female protagonists as reincarnated sisters, whereas Duanmu Huai played a local evil spirit boss. But after they returned from that world, Duanmu Huai’s character was redefined as one of the three heavenly maidens, sealed here by the villagers, transforming into an evil spirit.

The story’s ending also changed from a typical boss killing to the reincarnated sister murdering her two sister reincarnations, allowing the souls of the three heavenly maidens to reunite once again.

Well, congratulations, congratulations......

Well, the plot is quite eerie too.

By the way, because only the three of them went to eliminate the evil spirits at that time, the villagers hadn’t witnessed the specific battle scene personally. So, in the legendary story record, they created a grand drama. One of the heavenly maidens wielded a sword, beheading the evil spirit, while the other two waved divine fragrance powder, reducing the evil spirits’ bodies to ashes......

During the film’s shooting of this scene, Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin couldn’t hold back, knowing the legend said the heavenly maidens emitted golden powder with every move, but they knew they were just using insect repellent spray...... However, they couldn’t say this to the director.

Though they were indeed present on scene.

As for the sword Duanmu Huai brought back from that world, he naturally kept it. Actually, Duanmu Huai always wanted a handy weapon; of course, if he had to choose, the Chainsaw Sword would be best. Unfortunately, there’s no technology in this world to create a Chainsaw Sword, but since he was lucky enough to obtain this sword, he simply used it.

Of course, Duanmu Huai couldn’t just openly walk around with this sword on the street. Japan has "Gun Knife Law," which states that carrying a blade without a valid reason would be punishable by up to two years of detention and a fine up to 300,000 yen.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t carry it at all; as mentioned, as long as you have a valid reason, you can carry it. Duanmu Huai is an artist, so he could register the sword as an art piece. Even if the police asked about it, saying it’s used for filming or photography, no one would say anything.

Naturally, Duanmu Huai specially took a guitar case to store it, as the "Gun Knife Law" requires avoiding public sight, so just putting it in a golf bag or a box where the sword isn’t visible will be fine.

Putting it in a guitar case is also a method.

During filming, Duanmu Huai also video-chatted with Banai and Chitanda. It was evident that their food tour left them quite satisfied......well, as long as you’re happy.

The shooting went very smoothly, and as the summer vacation came to a close, filming wrapped up, the crew disbanded, and actors returned to their respective homes. Only post-production work like directing and editing remained.

Duanmu Huai didn’t leave immediately; instead, he visited the shrine deep in the mountain again.

Chao Yun Shrine.

During their time travel, it was a quiet but clean and tidy shrine. But when the three returned to modern times and followed their memories to find it, what was left was nothing but ruins. The shrine was completely covered by overgrown plants, with nothing remaining.

"You’re here."

As Duanmu Huai stood with a guitar case, gazing around the shrine ruins, Sakurajima Mai approached.

"Chi Yin and I will take the next train; what about Xiao Ai?"

"I want to wander around nearby, taste some food, and write a bit."

"Such a pity; it would be nice if we had time to accompany you on your stroll. Speaking of......"

While speaking, Sakurajima Mai glanced at the guitar case Duanmu Huai carried.

"You’re still carrying that sword... is there really an evil spirit in the modern world?"

"I don’t know, better safe than sorry; to be honest, I’d quite like to go back there again."

"Why?"

"Hmm......to decompress?"

Duanmu Huai wasn’t kidding; for him, though he experienced many interesting things after reincarnating into this world, Duanmu Huai found listening to the dying screams of heretic souls and aliens the most gratifying.

Feeling a life being destroyed in his hands, another threat to humans gone, nothing brings more pleasure than that.

Despite trying many things in this world, like making movies, Duanmu Huai felt – hmm, he was still most suited for the promising job of being a Judge.

Just eliminate all heretics, aliens, and demons in the name of humans, simple, direct, clean, and thorough, joyful and fulfilling.

If it hadn’t been for Hei Chuan Chi Yin and Sakurajima Mai being dragged into that event with him, Duanmu Huai would have really considered agreeing to Butterfly Kanaya’s request, to see what’s going on with the Demon Slayer Team and kill a few evil spirits.

Looking back now...... maybe it was just a minor accident.

Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze from the shrine already surrounded by weeds.

"Alright, let’s head to the station."

Arriving at the station, Duanmu Huai saw Sakurajima Mai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin onto the train, waved them goodbye.

But Duanmu Huai himself didn’t leave; instead, he just sat quietly in the station as time slowly passed, until night fell.

Finally, when the last train slowly arrived, Duanmu Huai stood up.

According to the folklore, the last train carries passengers to the isekai’s Ruyue Station.

So, does this station really exist?
