There was silence in the living room.

It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

Aono did not speak, nor did he act.

It's just so calm, as if a breeze is blowing across the lake, staring at Tomie as he steps into the living room.

It is clearly a very quiet environment and picture.

But in Tomie's eyes, it was a completely different scene!

Corners of the room, such as the shadow of the sofa, the invisible dead spots under the dining table, the lush green potted plants...... and other subtle places that are not usually noticed, as if a large number of dense, tentacles or filament-like things are spreading.

Moreover, they ...... It's alive!

It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes, staring at the boss, which were bloodshot, peeking at himself with scrutiny and a cold attitude.

A subtle pinprick-like pain rises on the surface of the skin.

Aono, who was sitting at the end of the dining table, seemed to no longer be the familiar appearance of Tomie, her face blurred and distorted, and began to transform into a thing in mid-air, even encompassing her entire sight.

There were some distorted sounds in my ears, but because of the distortion, it seemed like some kind of meaningful language had been formed.

Even, it began to bring back those memories that were hidden in Tomie's mind and didn't want to think about it.

Shake.

Faced with this situation, Tomie couldn't help but tremble.

'Hallucination! ’

It's all an illusion! ’

Tomie reminded her more than once in her heart, but the great fear that words could not describe still penetrated into her pores and penetrated into her heart like a liquid.

"No...... No! ”

A soft and elegant beauty who screams.

Her steps were unsteady, and she actually sat directly on the ground, looking at her eyes full of fear, which could be called a complete "gaffe".

The Kanda Yukie next to him was quite surprised, and looked at Tomie in disbelief.

I still wonder if she deliberately pretended to be pitiful.

You must know that Tomie has always been a cunning and dangerous bad woman in Kanda Yukie's impression, and I have to admit that she always seems to exude a thorny rose-like demonic smelt, and has never shown her vulnerable side.

But now, Aono hasn't done anything!

Why did you fall to the ground?

You're here to touch porcelain, aren't you?

Kanda Yukie naturally had such doubts.

The little girl looked at Qingye with resentment.

"Sure enough, Aono-kun is cute or something, it's just a mistake, right? ’

'Hurry up and get that lovely Aono-kun back!' ’

"Woooooooooo......oo Woo...... Aono-kun, the big villain!"

Then.

Aono and Yukie Kanda both heard a slight sob, as well as a voice like a little girl being coquettish.

If Kanda Yukie was just "a little surprised" just now, then now she is completely "stunned" and can't close her jaw.

Because it's like a girl's coquettish voice coming from Tomieguchi, who is sitting on the floor!

In Kanda Yukie's eyes, he began to doubt life.

A pair of big Carslan eyes full of disbelief - 'You're not Tomie, who are you!?' ’

Ask yourself, before this, the girl had never associated the verbs and adjectives "sobbing" and "pitiful" with Tomie - this was almost like a muscular man, with two thighs covered with thick black leg hair, and wearing white and tender white stockings, just thinking about it gave people a strong sense of discomfort and incongruity.

almost subverted Kanda Yukie's perception of Tomie, and it didn't fit Tomie's previous character at all.

Aono: "......"

Aono, who was at the other end of the table, was silent for a short time, and the momentum that he deliberately prepared for Tomie disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Tomie will see those chaotic and incredible pictures, and the most important reason for this is Aono's "demigod body"!

Except for a few points stated in the panel description.

The description of "demigod" also means that Aono has begun to take another major step on the road to surpassing humans.

The effect is—

- When he becomes hostile to his enemy, he will be subjected to a great sense of mental oppression.

People who are a little more fragile in their minds are afraid that they will collapse directly.

But then again, even I, Aono, who exerts a sense of oppression, don't know what kind of picture the enemy will see.

Probably...... Wouldn't it be that pretty, would it?

At this point, Aono unexpectedly confirmed another point.

[The trait "Calm" has changed! 】

[Passive Attribute Weakened Active Attribute Enhanced!] 】

The description of the panel seemed a little cloudy, but Aono quickly understood.

It was like at this moment, in the face of Tomie's arrival, falling, and sobbing afterwards, Aono's heart did not fluctuate, no different from seeing a stone, just like his previous [calm].

This is a change that Aono produced after the subjective judgment that "Tomie is like an enemy and a friend".

But previously, when Aono and Kanda Yukie had breakfast, there were real mood swings - also not fake.

To put it simply, [Calm] has transformed from a passive skill that is permanently blessed to an active ability that can be controlled by Aono to a certain extent.

It is similar to the nature of [swallowing].

In addition, there are some subtle changes, and Aono is difficult to feel clearly for a while, so he will put them aside for the time being.

After all, there is still the situation at hand that needs to be dealt with.

Aono's gaze fell indifferently on the crying Tomie.

The girl is beautiful – even if it is emphasized more than once, but it still needs to be explained again.

Even if it's a low sob.

It's better to say that the beautiful girl with red circles under her eyes and staring at Qingye with resentment while carefully wiping her tears looks even more pitiful and pitiful.

It is only at this time that one can realize that Tomie is only "comparatively" mature, and his actual age may be younger than Aono.

Of course, the "people" in "cute" obviously do not include Aono.

He's the kind of vicious man who's the kind of enemy who will do whatever you want to do no matter how you are born - don't forget, the first time you meet Tomie, Aono "kills" her once.

But Aono's judgment was also a little confused.

This guy, is it really that Tomie?

"Hehe......"

Tomie, who was still complaining and sobbing one second, chuckled faintly the next second, no longer possessing that weak and pitiful temperament, and turned back to her due charm.

"Let Aono-kun see it."

The contrast is enormous.

Kanda Yukie even feels like she's a different person!

"Actually, that's why I'm looking for Aono-kun."

Tomie smiled a little bitterly, revealing a point or two of helplessness.

It's not that complicated.

As Aono, who has had the experience of communicating with many patients, he quickly understood Tomie's symptoms at the moment.

The cause started a month ago, almost the time Aono traveled to Nagoya City.

Tomie happened to encounter a lost fog and planned to go for a tooth festival.

- After absorbing Aono's blood, Tomie's tastes have become extremely picky, and she has lost interest in ordinary low-level creatures, as well as humans, and only those big guys from the Lost Lands or the Inner World are qualified to be her rations.

By the way, Tomie is on the same side as ordinary humans in the elimination of the unspeakable.

The reason is also very simple.

Tomie, who vaguely recalled those memories, hated them deeply.

She hated the X-cultists, and she hated all the suffering in the basement.

I also hate them on high, it is their existence that will make all this happen!

From this point of view, Kanda Yukie and Tomie have something in common.

Kanda Yukie lost her parents because of the X-cultists.

Tomie, on the other hand, lost himself - or rather, a girl named Rei Amamiya, who was killed in that basement! Walking out of the basement, there is only a new soul.

It was supposed to be like this.

However, in that lost fog, Tomie encountered a monster that was good at manipulating souls, spirits, and memories.

Even if he couldn't kill Tomie, it caused an indescribable alienation of her soul.

A personality was born in Tomie's soul.

She also became a psychopath, similar to the Vacuum Daoist.

"That's the way it is."

Tomie clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, sitting in front of Aono, unexpectedly very honest.

It can be seen that this should be the new personality that was born for about a month.

If it was Tomie before, I'm afraid it wouldn't have to ride directly on Aono!

Aono also noticed that in the process of narrating, Tomie, two people with different personalities, actually appeared alternately several times, but the two were unusually cooperative, very harmonious, and there was no state of mutual refutation of the vacuum Taoist.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Aono asked.

"I ......"

The freshman Tomie just wanted to speak, but his expression suddenly changed.

She smiled charmingly, and Aono could see who she was—because one personality had been born for a long time, and the other had just split off, so she was called by the main personality and the secondary personality.

From this sudden transformation, it can also be seen that even if another personality is born, the main personality is still in a dominant position and has a stronger control over the body.

Before Tomie's personality could speak, Aono was ready to hear a request like "please eliminate her".

Tomie has never been a good man and a woman, her subordinates are stained with the blood of many innocent people, she never cares about the death of others, but it is just the remaining good thoughts that belong to Amamiya Rei, so that she has not really become a tyrannical and bloody monster.

But just because she doesn't want to change doesn't mean she can't.

In fact, her mental state has never been stable, and she may become a complete madman at any time.

How could such Tomie allow another personality to share a body with her?

The superficial harmony may also be just a disguise.

Subsequently, Aono heard.

"Can you ...... Kill me? ”

The beautiful girl with moles in the corners of her eyes tilted her head, and her beautiful, amber eyes were dyed with a hint of pleading.

Aono was silent.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never imagined that he would hear such a sentence from Tomie's mouth.

"I mean."

"Kill me while protecting her consciousness."

The meaning of this is to erase the existence of the main personality.

"Why?"

Aono asked when he heard himself.

To be reasonable, he shouldn't ask such a question.

Shouldn't it be a good thing to eliminate the unstable Tomie master personality, leaving only that fragile, ignorant sub-personality?

Shouldn't he just think of a way without hesitation?

"Huh? I can understand that Aono-kun are you concerned about me? ”

Tomie paused, raised his eyebrows coquettishly, took the initiative to raise his little face, and got closer to Aono.

The faint, bloody scent of flowers penetrated into Aono's nostrils.

Coupled with the smile on that pretty face, it is full of lethality.

"That's pretty rare......"

"Aono-kun, people are very happy~"

I have to say that Tomie, who is the master of personality, is still the original Tomie, and he will not let go of any opportunity to tease Aono.

"Ahem!"

Kanda Yukie coughed twice, attracting Tomie's attention, and staring at Tomie "viciously" with "vicious" eyes that were not friendly at all.

Now she is more suitable for the title of "cute tiger in the palm" than "evil tiger in the palm".

Aono also used this to confirm that this was indeed the owner Ge Fujiang, and not some other existence that occupied her body.

Just looking at Tomie's attitude, I don't think I'm willing to explain the reason behind this.

But obviously, she is serious!

She wants to erase her existence!

Since she didn't want to explain, Aono wouldn't be overly prohibitive and spoke instead.

"I can try to figure it out, but it's not guaranteed to work."

"Hmm."

Tomie nodded slightly.

It seems to be thanking Aono for not getting to the bottom of it.

Aono suggested, "Split into another body to accommodate her existence?" ”

"I've tried, but no."

Tomie shook his head.

In order to give Aono an example, some fine strands of flesh began to spread out from her arms, entangled and growing rapidly.

It grows not only muscles, but also white bones, a little subcutaneous fat, and skin with pores......

"Snow painting, don't look at it."

Aono said to Yukie Kanda.

She had already expected what would happen next, and turned to the side with a pale face.

"Gurgling ......"

There was a bout of unusually nausea, and people heard physiological discomfort coming from their side.

There is a certain slimy flowing sound of mucus and a "click" sound of bones returning to their positions, intertwined to form an unusual symphony.

Even if you don't have to look at it with your eyes, Kanda Yukie can know that it is a picture that will reduce your sanity.

Soon, no more than five minutes, Yukie Kanda turned his head.

A coquettish woman who was naked leaned against Aono's side.

The skin is fairer than snow, and it is as delicate as a newborn.

The long black hair is like a waterfall, and it is still multiplying rapidly.

Her appearance, figure, and even her look are the same as Tomie, who is wearing casual clothes next to her.

In other words, this itself is Tomie's copied body.

Even though Aono's regenerative power comes from Tomie, it is almost impossible to achieve this point.

"Aono-kun, am I beautiful?"

Tomie deserves to be Tomie, so in front of Kanda Yukie, he sticks to Aono's side, stretching out his slender hand to caress Aono's face.

"Stop!"

Kanda Yukie stopped with a red face.

"Don't go too far, hey!"
