I am a reincarnation player.

Yuki did not return to the table, but instead lay lazily on the bed, looking at the diary in his hand.

That's right, this is the diary he saw when he just crossed over. For those three blood-red words, he "wasted" nearly ten years of his life.

He wavered countless times, thinking that it was the sequelae of soul crossing and that he was hallucinating. In fact, he was really shaken in the end, learned a set of worthless skills, and was ready to return to normal life after confirming the condition of Sakurajima Mai.

Then I came to the reincarnation game, and those times suddenly became extraordinary.

Ask yourself, without ten years of preparation, there is a 100% chance that he will not be able to survive the bloodthirsty red moon. That kind of difficulty is aimed at taking my life. It is precisely because I am beyond normal people and cannot be considered an ordinary newcomer that I have a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, Yuki trembled all over, feeling the irony that he was living in someone else's script, and that his desperate struggles and hard work were just a joke.

If he were an emotional person, his three views would have collapsed at this moment, but precisely because Yuki's greatest gain in those ten years was calmness and rationality, even when faced with such a thing, he would still think based on clues and evidence.

A pre-planned scenario? No, that's highly unlikely.

From the zombies under the red moon to the witch god, no enemy would let him go because of coincidence. He couldn't even try that. He couldn't just stick his head out for someone to chop off, and then the moment the knife touched his neck, expect a miracle to happen and he'd somehow survive.

Every time he tried his best, accumulating countless corpses, and walked step by step to where he is now.

"Future Diary is the future interfering with the past. The more it aligns with reality, the further back in time it is, and the more direct the relationship with the user, the more likely it is to be realized."

Yuki was used to deducing from his abilities, so it was impossible to describe it in detail like in novels. Even if it was him, the most he could do was to interfere with a specific event that was bound to happen.

"Think about it, what was bound to happen and then be tampered with?"

Yuki frowned, his eyes completely lost in memories. After a few seconds, he sat up straight with a "whoosh".

Yes, I remember.

The first thing was the strange scene when I left the castle and unlocked the characteristics. I was wondering why Hayasaka and senior got the characteristics directly, but I had an option of "whether to unlock".

This is a warning, because after unlocking the feature, the plot of Bloodthirsty Red Moon is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, completely out of control.

The principle of high risk and high reward was broken. After killing the tyrant, Yuki wondered why there was no reward. Now, looking back, he finally got the answer.

The moment the feature was unlocked, the Wheel of Fortune started to work, triggering the defense mechanism of the reincarnation game. In order to prevent me from using my harvest to safely survive the bloodthirsty red moon, they even changed the dungeon rewards.

In other words, if I hadn't unlocked the feature and exposed my true nature, would things have been much simpler?

An unbelievable answer. Yuki pondered along the chain and found that it would really be simpler without the characteristics.

Hesitation means defeat is used on Thomas, but it is actually not very helpful in solving the dungeon. If you get normal rewards such as Tyrant, or even two more reinforcement points, you can get through the dungeon more safely.

Even Li Dan’s inexplicable hostility was related to the game. He still couldn’t figure out why that person wanted to kill him.

Knowing the answer now is of little use. The key point is that the choice to unlock the feature was a decision that Yuki had to make based on the information and assumptions at the time.

"He's warning me? So Mirai Nikki can't actually write a script that would make me instinctively choose to refuse?"

"A similar thing happened during the settlement. They said the reincarnation game wanted to kill me. Why did they give me the option to cancel the tracking? So it was them who did it?"

"So, the one that truly had traces of a script was the bloody disaster. I was closest to death that time, but it was precisely because of that risk that I was able to reach the outpost early, and thus, every step was faster."

Yuuki talked to himself, connecting many things together, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Fear and self-doubt cannot solve any problems. Only rational analysis can get the answer. Combined with the description in the future diary, he almost figured it out.

Unlocking the features and passing the first copy are inevitable, so the future diary will be effective. This is Taichi helping me secretly, but He cannot interfere with my choice.

All choices are based on one's own judgment of the situation at the time. It can only be said that this thing provides the opportunity to choose, but then again, do we need to thank him?

"Without him, I wouldn't have encountered all this trouble. No, would I even join the reincarnation game? Without ten years of preparation, my chances of survival as an ordinary newcomer wouldn't be high. After all, I've never even killed a chicken before."

"But the timeline isn't right either. The Future Diary records past events from the future. Could it be that it's in a different timeline than mine?"

"The future is the past, the past is the future. Only the strong are qualified to control time."

"So is Taichi in the future or the past? Is he with me? This doesn't make sense. If he's not there, why would I be targeted?"

Yuki covered his head, almost going crazy. When he thought deeply, even the basic concept of "time" was confused.

He wanted to know the answer, but there was no answer at all. This feeling of anticipation and fear was too uncomfortable, because it involved Yuki's most core desire:

He struggled hard just to control his destiny, but now he doesn't know who is controlling his destiny, or whether he is controlling his own destiny!

Amidst the chaos of his thoughts, Yuki was only certain of one thing:

Why can Zhou find himself? Because he used the future diary, and this diary originally belonged to me. The causal relationship couldn't be stronger.

If this thing falls into the hands of the judge, all disguises can be stripped off in a second.

dong dong dong.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Yuki, with messy hair, turned his head, his red eyes flashing with coldness. Before he could speak, Sakurajima Mai walked in.

She was wearing a school uniform and black stockings, with a smile on her face, even though the man in front of her looked a little strange.

"Even under the crimson moon, this pig-head has never looked at me with such eyes. It's like he wants me to disappear immediately."

Mai was actually stunned for a moment, but she didn't mean to lose her temper. Instead, her smile became even gentler. She locked the door and walked towards the bed.

"Having a problem?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you, and you can't help me." Yuki's tone was cold and a little impatient. "Mai, go and rest. Let me think about it and maybe I can make some assumptions."

"Suppose that this can solve the problem?" The girl walked to the bedside, looked down at Yuki, her purple eyes full of tenderness.

"No, at least not now, but this matter must have a result." Yuki still lowered his head in thought, when he suddenly felt a pair of warm hands on his cheeks, lifting his head up.

Mai Sakurajima's face was very close, her fair skin and hanging black hair appeared in stark contrast, and in addition to gentleness, her eyes also had a bit of determination.

"Useless assumptions only add to your troubles. That's what you taught me."

“But this matter is a little different…”

Yuki gritted his teeth and was about to argue when the girl suddenly used force to hug him in her arms.

The power of the two sides is incomparable, but Sakurajima Mai seems to have surpassed Monster IV and become an epic player at this moment. Yuuki's face stepped into the center of the peak, his muscles tensed, and he didn't have the strength to resist at all.

"It's the same. No matter what secrets you have, they are the same to me." Mai leaned forward, and the man's breath on her chest passed through the school uniform and touched her skin. This feeling made her face slightly red, and she simply hugged Yuki's head and stroked it over and over again.

"In my heart, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you will defeat it. No matter how difficult the situation is, you will always be confident. Like the sun, you illuminate the way forward for me in this dark game. It seems that what I long for has already surpassed a sense of security."

His nose was filled with a faint fragrance and his face was covered with a warm touch. Yuki felt as if he had been injected with a sedative, and his muscles relaxed uncontrollably.

"Senior, I might be the reincarnation of a big boss, or be possessed by him. I'm not sure whether he will replace me." Yuki's face was immersed in the mountains, and his voice was a little muffled.

"I've noticed it a long time ago. You've been acting weird since you came back." Sakurajima Mai wrinkled her nose and didn't offer any feeble comfort or say anything like "I'm here for you". She just pulled Yuuki out of her chest, held his face, and looked straight into his red eyes.

"I've kept you thinking for so long, do you have any clues?"

A truly wise woman will not just comfort but guide her lover.

For some reason, this thought flashed through Yuuki's mind. His face was held in his hands, and his pupils reflected the gentle gaze of his senior. He felt like he had broken free from his shackles and was summarizing all his recent analyses from the perspective of an observer.

"No, at least there is no sign of that right now. No one or any force is deliberately manipulating this."

"Tell me why?" Mai guided softly.

"First, all my choices so far have been based on my judgment at the time. If I were deliberately manipulated, it would actually be safer. Second, my personality hasn't changed, and my memory hasn't been confused."

"Third, the interference so far has focused on protecting key nodes, which in a sense provides convenience. Fourth, the Inquisitor used a causal tool on Hayasaka, but the tracing back was ineffective. This proves that you have no direct connection with Taichi. If I have become Taichi, even a little bit, I will definitely find clues."

The logic became clear again and the expressions became more vivid.

Logically speaking, Yuki is gradually approaching the truth. Just like the revival of the witch god, Taiyi's traces will become heavier and heavier, and eventually replace him imperceptibly.

But no matter how hard Yuki thought, he didn't find any similar traces, so what confused him most was what Taichi was trying to do?

Sakurajima Mai listened quietly, the smile on her face becoming more and more gentle. She just liked Yuuki's rigorous logic. It was useless to just shout slogans. Only with reason and evidence could people feel at ease.

"Would you like me to provide you with a decisive piece of evidence?"

Mai suddenly spoke, confusing Yuuki.

He hasn't even mentioned these things to Rihe, and I guess senior isn't good at analyzing them.

"You said."

Mai Sakurajima suddenly raised her right leg wrapped in black stockings and pushed it forward between Yuki's legs, her fair face turning completely red.

"I don't believe that 'Taiyi' is a pig-headed boy!"

Oops, I forgot to suppress the gun.

Yuki was stunned. This was indeed the decisive clue, so after realizing that something was wrong with him, he immediately ran to harass the senior.

How could the Champion of Khorne, an existence that even the Lost Ones like the Sorcerer God fear, be restless and burning with desire all day long?

Besides, he didn't have any excessive thoughts just now. If Taiyi really wanted to take over his body, it would be impossible for him to not be able to control this instinct.

"That only means that Senior Sister's black stockings are beyond epic level, a true abyss-level item!"

Abyss? What a fool!

Hearing the familiar dirty words, Sakurajima Mai's face turned red. She bit her lips and gently pushed the man who could withstand the thunder of the witch god onto the bed.

what?

Yuki simply lay down and looked up, where he could see a rosy face, drooping black hair, and two white arms pressed against the sides of his face. Looking down, he could vaguely see a cleavage at the collar of his school uniform that was not too deep, but not too tight either.

"Senior, I can't handle your straight ball."

"Shut up, you pighead." Her purple eyes were full of charm. Ma Yi exhaled hot air and buried her whole body.

"Just kiss me."

.......

Tick, tick.

The clock in the living room made a crisp sound. The coffee on the table had already gone cold. Hayasaka Ai sat upright, staring at the clock expressionlessly.

"Haasaka~Haasaka~~"

A familiar call came from the depths of the room, but the maid did not answer. After a while, Kaguya walked into the living room, wiping her wet black hair.

"You're right here, and I asked you to help blow dry my hair. Hey, why are you staring at me?"

Kaguya was confused. Her maid was staring at her with a helpless and depressed look, so she simply looked around.

"Is Yuuki not back yet? Where did Mai-senpai go off to again?"

She called him that quite smoothly, which made Hayasaka sigh deeply, hold his forehead, and call him idiot in his heart.

"Miss, do you think I should dye my hair?"

"Huh? If you want to disguise yourself, why not just use the Fool's Mask? Didn't you just reach level 4 this time?"

"I just think blonde hair is unlucky."

"It's inexplicable." Kaguya walked over in her pajamas and sat elegantly on the sofa. "Hayasaka, you're a little weird today. What happened?"

"It's not my fault at all. Everything is as planned. But I don't know why, I always feel unwilling." Hayasaka Ai played with the golden hair beside her ear, rationality and depression flickering on her face.

If you don’t take care of the first day, how can I take care of the fifteenth?

Yes, if I were to stalemate with Mai Sakurajima, it would only benefit others. Not to mention those far away, Hiyori and Philen are potential threats, uh, including the young lady, but she herself has not noticed it.

This is a rational plan. Progress must be driven by someone so that one can plan their actions with fairness. However, emotionally—

I am so unwilling!!

Hayasaka Ai wanted to go back to bed immediately, right now, and then wrap herself in the quilt and roll around like crazy. She was so depressed that her heart was bleeding.

In the few minutes that were wasted making coffee, Sakurajima Mai took the initiative. They couldn't both go in and start a fight around the already troubled Yuuki.

"Haysaka, you are really weird. Did something happen between that bastard and Sakurajima Mai?" Kaguya waved her hand in front of the maid's face with a serious expression.

She firmly stood on Hayasaka's side. This little hill was indestructible. When it came to the interests of the maids, even the name was changed.

"Miss, do you want me to cause trouble?"

"Uh." Kaguya was suddenly speechless. She was the most awkward among the few people.

He wanted to nod, because this was what Hayasaka expected, but he also wanted to shake his head, because then Hayasaka would belong to him.

“I…”

"Okay, okay, you don't know how to comfort people at all. Actually, I have a suggestion to solve your awkwardness." Hayasaka Ai showed an unfathomable smile and leaned her head over. As she muttered, Kaguya's face suddenly turned red.

"Disrespectful! Shameless!" Kaguya jumped up, closed her eyes and stomped her feet. "What on earth are you thinking about? What do you mean by dowry? Even if there is, it's you who's giving it to me, okay?"

"Okay, I'm fine." The maid's blue eyes hid a smile.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I was just saying it casually, just sit here, I'll go find Philen!"

Kaguya walked away cursing, walking very fast as if she was running away, slamming the door shut. Hiyori's laughter and complaints could be faintly heard.
