God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1156 - 333: A Step Away

"In the past, I was afraid to interact with real women, only guessing about them through fleeting words on the internet and stimulating fragments in AV...

"That's why I always thought that girls were either perfect angels or wickedly indulgent demons.

"That's why I cowered before someone as perfect as you."

Yan Huan counted on his fingers, revealing all his disgrace and shame,

"If only my family background were a bit better, perhaps I could be a match for you...

"If only I were braver, perhaps on your birthday that cold night, I would have taken the initiative to speak, and you might not have ended up like this...

"If only..."

But before he could finish, the perfect Sakuragi shook her head,

"That's not it, President, you..."

"Look..."

"Huh?"

Yan Huan looked at the hurriedly defending Sakuragi Hitomi before him, took a deep breath, and lowered his head,

"Just like you said, you held such a grand and perfect high-table dinner, only as a return for me taking you to see fireworks at that time...

"But... but... that time, I couldn't even afford the thousands-worth front viewing tickets for the fireworks, so I could only take you to the lakeside park nearby to watch the fireworks in the sky...

"Even though in my eyes, there were so many things not done right, but in your eyes, that moment was so perfect..."

Yan Huan gradually tightened his grip on the perfect Sakuragi's hand, trembling as he spoke,

"Thus, I came to realize... realized the reason behind everything:

"It's not that I am truly that perfect, worthy of every Sakuragi's affection; nor that I completed everything perfectly for you to do all this without regrets...

"It's merely because your affection for me added points."

Yan Huan tightly gripped the perfect Sakuragi's hand, and with the gentle breeze, a clear tear was taken away between their wounded hearts.

"So, perfect Sakuragi...

"I would like to ask you... to ask you, to give me back the real Hitomi...

"Even if we both know, she is not perfect..."

Following that sincere tear, Yan Huan looked up at the perfect Sakuragi before him, and said word by word,

"Let me also use affection to complete the remaining path to perfection."

"..."

The perfect Sakuragi, with tears streaming down her face, gazed at the resolute Yan Huan before her, and in that moment, through Yan Huan's equally tear-filled eyes, she caught a glimpse of her own reflection.

That reflection of herself, teary-eyed, holding flowers helplessly and frailly...

Yet, the President would still choose her resolutely, as if she was that perfect.

Just like at this moment, in her eyes, the boy covered in wounds was equally adored, equally perfect.

"...Wuwu...Wuwu..."

Thus, she seemed at last relieved and bowed her head.

Perhaps, when the perfect Sakuragi placed the barrier that would not refuse Yan Huan on the tip of her tongue, what she sought had been clearly understood...

"Alright, President..."

Immediately afterwards, she smiled, sobbing and lowered her head.

"Hoo..."

Then, in front of Yan Huan, she gradually crumbled into dust.

The flower Yan Huan gave her also fell to the ground.

"..."

Yan Huan watched in shock as the perfect Sakuragi in front of him turned into ash, just about to make a move...

Suddenly, floral scents pervaded the air around.

"Buzz..."

Yan Huan turned his head in bewilderment, only to see each flower in the surrounding sea of flowers defying gravity and floating away.

Then, their forms began to twist in mid-air, eventually transforming into masks. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Those flowers... were actually Hitomi's dead personality masks?!

Yan Huan's eyes widened as he watched those masks fly towards the sky.

At the edge of his vision, the sky made up of countless doors also began opening one by one, welcoming the return of each mask.

Once each mask entered, the doors slowly closed.

"Bang..."

"Click..."

For a moment, the sound of doors opening and closing filled the whole barrier.

As the number of pink flowers in the vast sea diminished, finally, the flower Yan Huan just gave to the perfect Sakuragi also floated upwards...

In the next moment, it transformed into an incredibly beautiful fox mask in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

The fox mask hovered in front of Yan Huan for a second, as if lingeringly gazing at his face.

But then, it didn't stay long and quickly flew straight up into the sky, entering the last open door.

At this point, all doors were shut tight, all masks had returned to the sky's gates.

"Rumble!!"

In the instant the last door closed, the entire barrier quaked violently.

"Ugh!!"

Yan Huan suddenly felt unsteady and fell to the ground.

Soon after, the direction of gravity unexpectedly shifted, turning from downward to the direction Yan Huan was facing on the ground.

Yan Huan widened his eyes, trying to grasp the soil beneath him.

But how could gravity be defied, so he helplessly watched himself slide forward.

Yet his gaze remained fixed upwards at the sky full of various doors.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but that sky...

seemed to be getting smaller in his eyes?!

Or rather...

Was he growing larger?!

Yan Huan didn't know, just watched as the sky seemed both further away and closer.

Until several dozen seconds later, the whole panoramic sky suddenly appeared before Yan Huan.

"What is this..."
