But what about myself?

No ties whatsoever. If they find out how quickly things have progressed with Yan Huan, I fear they might...

Really make sure I learn a lesson or two about their strength and means!

"...Actually, Aria still remembers you."

"Spencer... Right! Speaking of which, was the golden light that tried to take you away across time her ability?"

"Uh-huh."

Yan Huan nodded. He was also considering how to help the other hosts understand the world’s timeline shifts.

Originally, he thought he could explain it with Aria, but Bai Yi’s comment gave him a new perspective.

Indeed, if he could remember, maybe the other hosts could as well.

After all, if something has happened, there are always unchanging factors.

"You could try waking up memories of you in them, starting with those who were closer to you. Like Sister Shiyu, for example."

"Ye Shiyu?!"

As soon as that name was mentioned, Bai Yi quickly shook her head,

"Who was close to her! Hmph... that showy, repressive weirdo... By the way, you... you didn’t do anything with her, did you?"

Bai Yi blinked and quickly looked at Yan Huan, swallowing nervously as she asked.

As if she dreaded the possibility that the young man in front of her had really done something with Ye Shiyu...

If he had, the sky would truly fall for Bai Yi.

Hearing this, Yan Huan opened his mouth, not to recall but to bring up the Crab Coin task interface from the Demon Shop.

Inside, it recorded Bai Yi’s affection level for Ye Shiyu:

[Bai Yi: 62%]

Hmm...

Seeing Bai Yi’s "I can’t stand Shiyu" expression, if he couldn’t see the affection rating, he might have believed her.

"...No."

"Phew, that’s good..."

Hearing this, Bai Yi was finally relieved.

But then she couldn’t help giggling.

Indeed...

Ye Shiyu, who’d craved her adoptive younger brother for so long, ended up being beaten to it by her...

If Ye Shiyu found out she and Yan Huan were already...

Her usually emotionless face would certainly become very interesting, wouldn’t it?!

"Hohoho..."

For some reason, Bai Yi sported a strange smile, as if she had "won."

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan felt even more at ease.

He stroked his chin, raised a forkful of salad, fed it to Bai Yi, and said,

"Well, in that case, why not try contacting Sister Shiyu to see if you can awaken her memories...

"By the way, I’d like you to help find out about her student council election too."

Hearing this, Bai Yi, who had been smiling happily, froze slightly.

She bit into the salad tastelessly, about to refuse, when Yan Huan smiled and said,

"Think about it, if your relationship with Sister Shiyu is ’not good,’ and she’s the scariest among several hosts. If you can make her remember, it should be easy with An Le and Hitomi, right?"

"Ugh..."

That’s true...

Hearing this, even if Bai Yi was reluctant, she could only lean on her chin and ponder how best to approach it.

...

...

"Senior Sister Ye, you... you’re really running for student council president?!"

Morning, Yuanyue Academy, senior year division.

Sewing Club member and Ye Shiyu’s little fan, Mori Yana, arrived at the senior division early, seemingly having heard something.

And in front of her, clad in an autumn school uniform with long black stockings, Ye Shiyu nodded expressionlessly.

"Hmm..."

Yuanlina’s information, authentic.

Just as she was about to explain the reason, her gaze slightly shifted towards the door.

"..."

The door was deserted.

"What’s up, Senior Sister Ye?"

"...Nothing."

Ye Shiyu looked at the door for a long while, then retracted her gaze.

But perhaps it was just a misconception, as earlier it felt as though...

There was a familiar gaze watching her from there.
