No! I’ve reached my limit! I’m going to press it!

Inexplicably, the sound of a certain boki going off echoed in the young man’s mind.

He instinctively activated the Magical Crest from the Emiya family, preparing to chant the incantation and unleash an ability akin to a certain pink cat’s third bomb—Time Reversal.

As long as he deployed his Reality Marble and enveloped the entire St. Freya Academy, he could effortlessly rewind the time of the whole island to any point he desired.

Half an hour ago, a day ago, or even a month ago, all were possible.

Enhanced with the knowledge of the Fifth Magic, the Emiya family’s Reality Marble was just that kind of unreasonably powerful force.

I’ll get the teacher who taught Seele’s class today fired, replace them with someone dedicated and conscientious, and restart this entire day.

Yes, that’s all I need to do.

The young man mused, his mind already set on rewinding time by half a day. Blood imbued with a dense divinity surged within him, generating magic power of an exceptional quality.

As long as he unleashed the Great Magecraft known as a Reality Marble, all time within the locked area would begin to flow backward.

However, before activating it, he decided he might as well test Seele’s reaction to this situation first.

Clearly intending to accumulate experience and then reload his save file like someone playing a galge, the young man merely kept his magic circuits activated for now.

“Good morning, Seele.”

Relying on his mastery of time magecraft, the young man was as steady as a rock. He didn’t let go of Ana’s hand; he simply released the handle of the suitcase and waved to Seele in greeting.

His completely composed appearance left even Miss Dark Seele momentarily stunned.

What the hell? How is this guy so calm?

Buddy, you’re being caught in the act of cheating right now!

You were out picking up another girl and got found out by the prize cabbage you’ve already won over. One wrong move, and word will spread to all the other prize cabbages in your basket.

When that happens, even Raiden Mei, all the way in Mexico, will return at the speed of light to serve you a grand shuraba.

And then you’ll be typing GG amidst a chorus of cheers and laughter!

“Why aren’t you in class? Are you not feeling well?”

The young man, who had instantly perceived that the girl who had obviously skipped class was not the normal Seele, furrowed his brow slightly.

Then, he released Ana’s hand, walked until he was less than half a meter in front of the girl with a hint of red deep in her eyes, and then took one more step forward.

The distance was undoubtedly extremely close.

“Seele” could even feel the faint warmth of his breath as he approached.

A moment later, a seemingly precious gem floated out from the shadow at his feet and landed gently in his hand.

“You don’t look sick. Did you take leave simply because you were fatigued or not feeling at your best?”

“If that’s the case, try using this.”

Like a doctor of immense skill, Li Zihan gave a very academic introduction of the power stored within the gem to the girl whose body was currently occupied by “Seele.”

“Magic power is the materialization of life force. Absorbing it should help you regulate your physical condition.”

The way he introduced the power in his hand truly made him sound like a seasoned physician.

“If there’s anything else that feels off, don’t hesitate to find me and tell me about it.”

Feeling that his reaction was slightly different from what she had imagined, Seele’s lips twitched.

This reaction… it’s so proper.

He doesn’t look at all like someone who was just caught two-timing.

This guy… could he… actually be a blockhead?

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

“Seele,” clearly mimicking a certain well-behaved child, accepted the gem from the young man’s hand and offered a faint, bashful smile.

Then, as if she had noticed something, she glanced back at Miss Ana, who seemed to have been completely cast aside and left out in the cold.

Her suspicion that Li Zihan was hitting on yet another girl began to waver.

He just ditched the girl he was in the middle of hitting on to fuss over another very pretty girl.

That move is so…

Utterly death-courting!

Even if she didn’t tattle on him to Raiden Mei or Bronya, he was definitely in for a thrashing later.

“But, I’m feeling fine.”

The girl who had simply skipped class smiled sweetly, then looked again at the other girl who had held her attention for so long.

“Um, Big Brother, who is that big sister?”

“I’m Ana, Ana Schariac.”

The girl, who was clearly oblivious to the strange atmosphere hanging in the air, hastily announced her name after standing there like a telephone pole for so long.

She looked a bit clumsy, not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Well, whether she’s smart or not has nothing to do with me.

“Seele” watched the young man, who really might be a total blockhead, from the corner of her eye, her brain working rapidly.

This guy is either a genuine blockhead, or he’s faking it.

If he’s faking it, then I’ll have to find a way to serve him a grand shuraba right here and now, making Little Fool his only pillar of support during the ensuing chain-reaction pile-up.

But if he’s a real blockhead…

Then it’s time to throw a few straight balls.

The girl pinch-hitting for Seele looked at the young man, who gave her a rather favorable impression overall, and the corners of her lips curled into a slight smile.

Sorry, Mei-jie, Bronya-jie, and you too, Paramecium. For the sake of Little Fool’s happiness, you’ll all just have to step aside.

“Um, little sister, and you are?”

From “Seele’s” perspective, the not-so-bright Ana was now eagerly questioning the girl who seemed to share a very good relationship with the Director.

“Seele, Seele Vollerei.”

“Seele” quickly supplied her own name, and then, with her deceptively clear eyes, she asked, “Big sister, what is your relationship with Big Brother?”

My relationship with the Director?

Ana was stunned, and her expression grew increasingly troubled.

What was her relationship with Li Zihan?

Lovers? Her confession had failed.

Friends? They didn’t seem nearly close enough.

Family? That was even more absurd. Their families were likely unrelated even five hundred years ago.

“Probably… a superior and subordinate,” Miss Ana, who was indeed Li Zihan’s subordinate, mumbled after a moment of thought, pouting like a kitten that had lost out on its milk.

“Not his girlfriend?”

A smile blossomed on “Seele’s” lips.

That smile was precisely that of a huntress who had just entered the woods and was about to bag the biggest boar in the entire forest.

“Seele, what are you asking that for?”

The young man, ready to rewind time at any moment, looked at the Seele who had just asked a decidedly off-key question. He continued to play dead, preparing to activate Bites the Dust.

“Big Brother, didn’t you ask me about that matter before?”

Miss Dark Seele, wearing White Seele’s skin, bounced over cutely until she was right in front of Li Zihan. She tilted her head up adorably to look at the young man who was a head taller than her.

“I can give you my answer now.”

“What answer?”

The young man, who had absolutely no memory of asking Seele any such question, was slightly bewildered.

Without any warning, the girl’s thin lips, right in Ana’s line of sight, pressed against the young man’s.

“I agree to go out with you.”

Then, their lips parted, and those words drifted from the dainty girl’s mouth.
