Shiho asked Makoto:
"Is Akai Shuichi still alive?"
When Akemi heard this name, her body trembled violently.
She finally understood why her sister had suddenly wanted fried cabbage just now. It was all just to get her out of the way.
Akemi stared directly at Makoto, shaking her head desperately.
Makoto glanced at her, the corner of his mouth curling as he looked away.
His attitude toward the relationship between Akai Shuichi and the Miyano sisters was simply that of an onlooker enjoying the drama. The bigger the mess, the better.
"He should still be alive."
Makoto thought for a moment and said, "After his identity was exposed, Akai Shuichi probably ran back to the United States. He probably wasn't killed in the bombing."
Yu added, "But the FBI is now a hollow shell, isn't it, Senpai?"
In the real world, the United States had been crippled by Makoto, reduced to the size of a single city, let alone the FBI.
For all they knew, Shuichi might be working off the books somewhere, or he might have been killed by Anomalies.
Shiho furrowed her brow deeply, thought for a long time, then asked another question, "If I return to the real world, can I still come back here?"
After transmigrating to this world, she had been frantically learning the magic, history, and culture of this world, all to establish herself here.
Because she wanted to stay in this world and live here with her sister.
Akemi was not a player. She was a Reincarnator.
She had been brought to this world by Aqua, unlike Shiho, who had been chosen by the Reincarnation Game.
She couldn't go back.
And Shiho had been studying the Reincarnation System recently and learned that as long as the other players completed the main quest, she would be forcibly sent back to the real world.
At that point, she would be separated from her sister again.
"If you are the MVP, then you can freely travel between the real world and the other world." Ace put down his fork and wiped his mouth.
Shiho, Akemi, and the other players who had been chosen by the Reincarnation Game for the first time all cast puzzled looks.
'MVP? What was that?'
Ace briefly explained... after each instance, the system would select an MVP based on the player's performance in the instance, the person who had the greatest impact on the instance world's progression.
Makoto was basically always the MVP.
The MVP could freely travel back and forth between the real world and the other world. The others could not.
Shiho stood up, walked to Makoto, and was about to bow, but after thinking it over, she knelt down directly instead. She remembered that this was the custom for Chinese people.
"If I go back, please bring me back to this world later. I beg you."
She was a smart person. She knew very well that with her own abilities, she could never complete the main quest of 'unify the world', let alone get MVP.
The only thing she could do was latch onto Makoto's coattails.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she added another sentence, "I can sleep with you."
The dining table fell silent.
Yu and Beam exchanged a glance and simultaneously cast looks of admiration toward Shiho.
'Wow, a reasonable person.'
Makoto stared at the large version of Haibara Ai in front of him for a few seconds, then nodded.
In fact, even if Shiho hadn't made this request, he had planned to take her back.
If they really found Shuichi, he also wanted to see how Shiho would kill him.
It would be quite entertaining.
But since she had offered herself, of course he wouldn't refuse.
Why wouldn't you eat meat that was served right to your mouth?
He wasn't the type of useless male protagonist who, even when the Heroine was drugged with aphrodisiac, would just tell her to take care of it herself.
Akemi, standing by, was extremely conflicted. After struggling for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence, "Shiho... don't be like this..."
For once, Shiho, who had been obedient to her sister in every way since their reunion, rebelled.
"Sis, wait for me to kill that Akai Shuichi, then I'll come back to you."
She had already decided... after returning to the real world, the first thing she would do was look into Shuichi's situation.
If he really had died at the hands of an Anomaly, then fine.
If he was still alive, she would find a way to make his life worse than death.
Akemi's tears fell. Big drops, pouring from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks, hitting the table. She wiped them with the back of her hand, but couldn't wipe them clean. The tears only flowed more and more. She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"How could this..." Her voice was stuck in her throat, choked with sobs.
Damn. Her own sister wanted to kill her lover. Such a thing was too painful.
"Is it worth it?"
Megumin was gnawing on a frog leg. She thought, 'That man treated you like that, and you're still protecting him?'
Aqua, with greasy lips, mumbled, "Using a woman to infiltrate an organization, then running away when exposed. Even Kazuma wouldn't do that."
Even the idiot goddess thought Shuichi was a piece of garbage.
Kazuma said, "Hey, don't drag me into this. I would never do something like that."
They thought Shiho's desire for revenge was completely justified.
And yet Akemi, the victim, was still crying for him. The otherworlders' sense of morality was shaken.
Makoto gave Akemi a thumbs up. "In terms of being love-struck, I, Nishikawa Makoto, would call you the second strongest."
The man had abandoned her, yet she was still this devoted. Wasn't that love-struck enough?
But she's still not worthy of being the strongest.
After all, Sakura's position as the number one love-struck fool in anime could not be shaken by anyone.
