It has six eyes, and also fiery red eyes.

The shadow of a dream is actually the source of light.

Dreams and shadows are like light, light and shadow go hand in hand.

Where dreams reside, light and shadow follow.

Having learned of the changes that had occurred, Su Nuo's life was once again thrown into turmoil.

In the world of sorcery, those stagnant old men, those sorcerers who consider themselves superior, fear him, yet constantly criticize him. But he doesn't care at all.

Who cares about the squeaking of those little insects?

Who cares about the struggles of ants?

Those actions that only added to the amusement were just a little bit of fun in life.

Finally, he had a clue about the only thing he cared about.

Su Nuo, therefore, felt a slight ripple in her heart regarding Xia's abnormality, but after observing for a long time and learning some of the truth, she no longer cared too much.

More than anything, it was what he was hoping for.

My own, my older sister.

After that connection deepened, the few moments of control I had over my body during the day have now become periods of time during which I can have some control over my body.

And everything about "summer" seems to be gradually being passed on to her.

Even more so, the two have merged again.

The missing corner has been replaced.

The small piece that was originally lost has returned to its original state.

Even more overwhelming is everything that has happened over the years—these memories, these images, these emotions.

A puppet is more than just a puppet.

The puppet is itself, another self, that tiny, insignificant part of itself.

Those suppressed emotions were released in an instant, seeing their own child grow up, protecting their own child as they grew up, witnessing their own child's growth.

Those bittersweet tears, those joyful smiles, that blissful happiness, those complex emotions—all surged into my heart in an instant.

Although it's called a puppet, it's still another clone, essentially existing as a separate entity.

Even more so, it's not a product like Mika, but a real, another body.

One soul, two bodies.

The integration between them is a gradual process.

Such a striking difference was nothing short of remarkable, surprising, and delightful for Sukuna.

After all, this was what he had been looking forward to.

After all, although it was different from what he had imagined, this unusual meeting still made him very happy.

Meanwhile, Xia, in another dream belonging to Le Aifu, returned to the world of her first reincarnation through that connection.

She became Xia again, filled the void of the past, and participated again in the turbulent growth of her younger brother.

Although it has become exactly as she remembered it, she no longer cares.

The feelings I couldn't let go of back then, the decision I made after so much agonizing, and the conflicting emotions I had back then—none of that matters anymore.

She was already very happy to see her younger brother again.

Being able to participate in her younger brother's growth again filled her with contentment.

What good is kindness? In the Jujutsu Kaisen world a thousand years ago, under such a corrupt feudal system, the sorcerers with extraordinary power and noble status were even worse beings than the sorcerers in the original story's timeline.

She didn't care about the distinctions between close and distant relatives, even if she became an evil being, a demon god considered evil, the king of curses.

Goodness and evil, these two opposing forces of black and white, how could she, who has no protagonist's destiny, truly believe in such things?

The only option left was gray.

It is a state of chaotic neutrality, perhaps slightly leaning towards goodness – after all, the original self under the five-star red flag had already laid the foundation and fundamental prototype.

In such a world, whether it's the world of Jujutsu Kaisen or the world of Hunter x Hunter, pure kindness is simply impossible.

Pure evil, of course, is also impossible.

Despite being the King of Curses, Su Nuo's existence was due to a series of coincidences and circumstances. How could the events that happened to him, as well as the circumstances and the world he was forced to live by, be purely evil?

Even if it is Lu Suo, that pathetic and hateful, cowardly brain that created all this, especially since it was originally evil?

As Su Nuo gained more and more control over his body in the summer, and the fusion between them became more and more perfect and harmonious, he almost stopped hiding it.

No longer hiding their emotions, no longer hiding their thoughts, no longer hiding the all-seeing look in their eyes.

As long as she is my older sister, that's enough.

As long as it's summer, that's enough.

"Xia" means companion, Xia means older sister, and is also a combination of the two.

Sister, Xia...

Rime seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere lately, but he had nothing but respect for both his master Sukuna and his companion, Natsu, who was second only to him in status. He wouldn't say anything else or think about anything else.

Therefore, he let such an obvious clue slip by so easily.

Rime simply ignored the increasingly awkward atmosphere.

Until one day, he discovered that there seemed to be something wrong between the Lord Su Nuo, whom he respected, and "Xia".

He even looked at himself again and again, seemingly lacking confidence. In response, Su Nuo casually slashed past his ear, cutting off a few strands of his hair.

And "Xia," or rather, Xia, sighed helplessly.

"Alright, little brother, Li Mei didn't mean anything by it. It was just out of kindness and concern. Don't go overboard."

After these words, Rime even broke his previously expressionless, icy demeanor, his incredulous look overturning any previous impression.

Well, I have to say, Xia still has such a wicked sense of humor.

In an instant, his eyes sparkled, and a slight smile appeared on his lips—a charmingly wicked smile, a result of a successful prank.

A camera (a cursed version) appeared in his hand, and with a few clicks, someone's embarrassing history was frozen in time.

Who says this wasn't intentional?

Su Nuo said, "As long as she's happy, what can I do? I can only cooperate."

So we'll just have to trouble Rimei.

He definitely wouldn't care.

Thus, the two felt at ease and no longer concealed what they had been hiding from Rimei.

Then, she looked at Rime with great anticipation, seeing a side of her that was different from usual.

In short, I'm just having a good time watching him make a fool of himself!
