Chapter 83: Already used to it.

Seeing Mika collapse after mistaking Zhong Shuixi’s superpower and being defeated, Yukina’s eyes widened in shock.

“Hehe,” Zhong Shuixi, pulling the dagger out of her own body, dragged her blood-soaked body and slowly walked toward Yukina. “The bothersome person is finally down. Now no one can stop me!”

To get rid of the person who constantly interfered, Zhong Shuixi had inflicted many cuts on her own body.

Although her newly acquired superpower allowed her to amplify the pain she suffered tenfold and spread it to nearby targets, this didn’t mean she felt no pain at all.

Blood streamed non-stop from the wounds. The unbearable pain was like countless ants gnawing at her bone marrow.

But Zhong Shuixi gritted her teeth and persevered. For the sake of her Senior, she would continue no matter the cost.

“Yukina, have you prepared what you’re going to say to Senpai when you meet him next?”

Seeing Zhong Shuixi, covered in blood, insistently walking toward her, Yukina was terrified.

“Xiaoxi, listen to me, things aren’t what you think!”

“It’s come to this, and you still want to argue? Senpai would be so disappointed to know his sister is a liar! You disgust him!”

No matter how Yukina tried to explain, she couldn’t convince Zhong Shuixi to change her mind.

If she told Zhong Shuixi that her brother had reincarnated as a witch and returned, could she resolve the misunderstanding?

Yukina was hesitant, but at this point, hiding it was meaningless.

However, just as Yukina was about to speak, Zhong Shuixi suddenly swung the dagger and stabbed herself again.

The sudden pain made Yukina unable to speak. She could only slump to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, watching the completely corrupted Xiaoxi walk toward her step by step.

‘Crap, at this rate, I’m really going to die!’

‘Brother…’

At this moment, Yukina thought of Charlotte. If Charlotte were here, she could easily protect everyone.

‘I’m sorry, brother. I probably won’t be able to live with you anymore. Please live happily alone!’

Thinking this, Yukina despairingly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

However, just then, the sound of a ceiling shattering came from above. A figure crashed dramatically in front of Yukina, scattering a large cloud of dust.

This made Yukina quickly open her eyes in shock.

Zhong Shuixi, who was approaching Yukina, stopped immediately, looking highly alert.

When the dust slowly cleared, Zhong Shuixi finally saw who the figure that had suddenly descended was.

Long silver hair, a petite body, an undeveloped chest, and a strange broomstick longer than her body.

Undoubtedly, the figure was Charlotte, her distant cousin, who had suddenly transferred to their school today.

‘It’s all because of her! All because of her that Yukina put her caring Senior out of her mind!’

‘Unforgivable! Unforgivable!’

Thinking this, Zhong Shuixi’s body trembled. She tightly gripped the blood-stained dagger in her hand, glaring at Yukina and Charlotte, the “adulterous pair.”

“Brother…” Seeing Charlotte suddenly appear, the now-desperate Yukina let out a faint exclamation of relief.

“Eh?” Hearing Yukina’s voice, Charlotte immediately turned her head and saw Yukina weakly slumped on the ground.

Charlotte was utterly shocked.

She quickly scanned her surroundings, seeing Mika lying motionless like a corpse on the floor, and Zhong Shuixi, covered in blood, holding a blood-stained dagger, staring at her with an unbelievable expression. Charlotte’s face was filled with surprise.

“Yukina, what happened here?”

“Brother, Xiaoxi is…” Yukina tried to explain the situation, but the intense pain shooting through her body made it difficult for her to speak in one go.

Charlotte quickly knelt beside Yukina, placing her hand on Yukina’s body, and cast her all-purpose Holy Magic.

However, Holy Magic had no effect.

“Huh?” Charlotte looked surprised.

‘That’s wrong.’

It was then that Charlotte noticed that Yukina had no wounds on her body. Her HP was full. She didn’t need any healing.

‘But why is she looking so pained?’

There was no time to think. Charlotte simply placed her forehead against Yukina’s and instantly used Memory Magic to read Yukina’s memories from the last ten minutes.

Seeing Charlotte suddenly leaning into her face, almost kissing her, Yukina was startled. However, she had no strength left to resist, or she would have kicked Charlotte away long ago.

Thanks to Xiaoxi’s pain diffusion, Charlotte could act so shamelessly.

“Eh? So that’s what’s going on?” After reading Yukina’s memories, a subtle change came over Charlotte’s expression.

“Yukina,” Charlotte said, “don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you get hurt!”

Saying this, Charlotte showed a look of firm resolve. She stood up and stared intently at Zhong Shuixi.

“Hey! Why are you making that expression? You caused Yukina trouble and were the reason Senior died. Don’t you feel any remorse?”

The emotionally broken Zhong Shuixi swung the dagger and stabbed her own shoulder hard.

Seeing this, Yukina screamed, “Dodge quickly!”

However, Charlotte didn’t dodge. She stood there like a pillar.

But strangely, Charlotte’s face didn’t twist in pain. She continued to look at Zhong Shuixi as if nothing had happened.

“Eh?” Zhong Shuixi looked utterly bewildered.

She pulled out the dagger again and frantically stabbed her own shoulder repeatedly. Blood poured out from the rapidly expanding wound, completely soaking her school uniform.

Zhong Shuixi was certain that all her pain diffusion had been transferred to Charlotte’s body.

Such intense pain would make even an African elephant collapse unconscious.

Yet, Charlotte still looked completely unfazed, standing in front of Yukina, as if to say, “Hmph, is that all you’ve got?”

“Why?”

Seeing this, Zhong Shuixi’s face was filled with panic.

She raised the blood-stained dagger and pointed it at Charlotte, asking in disbelief, “Why can you still stand there? Are you a monster who can’t feel pain?”

Charlotte wasn’t incapable of feeling pain. It was just that this pain, to her, was like accidentally cutting her finger while chopping vegetables. She could endure it with just a little effort.

After all, when she was learning magic, the magic circuits constantly pulled at her fragile body, tormenting her for days and nights, preventing her from sleeping.

After enduring such long magical training, Charlotte had developed an incredibly strong pain tolerance. Even if she were violently stabbed, she wouldn’t make a sound.

“Xiaoxi, have you played enough?” Charlotte’s tone was tinged with anger.

After all, she was her former junior whom she had once cared for. Although it had been fifteen years since they last met, seeing her like this now made Charlotte quite angry.

This girl truly didn’t understand the danger of what she was doing.

If she didn’t stop her now, she would regret her actions for the rest of her life.

For some reason, Charlotte saw a shadow of Yuffie in Hiiragi Mizuki.

“You’re pointing such a dangerous thing at your best friend. Xiaoxi, do you know you’re doing something you’ll regret for life?”

“Shut up!” The emotionally broken Xiaoxi started screaming hysterically.

“What do you, an outsider, know? For Senior, I have to do this! If I don’t, Senior will never rest in peace!”

Hearing this, Charlotte paused slightly.

‘She’s doing all of this for me?’

‘Am I that important to her?’

‘You idiot Senior!’

“Brother! Stop her quickly!”

At this moment, Yukina suddenly shouted from behind her.

Charlotte snapped out of it and looked forward, seeing that Zhong Shuixi had raised the dagger and suddenly stabbed it into her own heart.

If she stabbed her own heart, the pain diffused by her superpower would instantly stop the hearts of everyone nearby.

No matter how tough Charlotte was, once her heart stopped beating, she would die.

“You traitors, you’re all going to die!”
