Extra Chapter 314.16 Story Beheading
Tamaki Yumiko speculates that the "Witch" and the "Cave of Nothingness" are some kind of "fictional reality" that can only be presented in this fantasy realm.

Although I don't know what they correspond to in reality... But there must be something corresponding to it, and it has had a major impact on reality.

The reason was what she saw next: after both sides of the alien war disappeared, the police quickly arrived at the scene and took Yukinoshita Saya away for questioning.

The interrogation lasted all night, and Yukinoshita Saya was not released until the next morning.

During this period of time, although the witch retracted her figure to the sky, she continued to throw her long knife and continued to kill herself.

The strange black hole also quietly reappeared on the way, getting closer and closer to Yukinoshita Saya, and becoming larger and larger.

Yumiko watched Saya gradually lower her eyelids due to fatigue on the train, and saw the vast void only a few people away from her.

The Cave of Nothingness at this time is actually no longer suitable to be called a "hole".Because in this scene, the only thing that can be seen normally is a little distance around Saya.Most of the remaining space has collapsed.

The empty space is like a huge mouth, which has gently held the entire scene between the canine teeth, and seems to be ready to bite it down at any time——

Yumiko looked at the nothingness around her, becoming more and more confused: If the witch is Saya herself, then what is the end of this hole of nothingness that seems to be caused by the collapse of space——

"Ah——" Ayano suddenly asked strangely, "What is that man doing?"

Yumiko didn't know how to explain it for a moment: "Uh..."

But soon, Ayano understood and showed a look of disgust: "Is this the so-called tram pervert?"

Yukinoshita Saya suddenly raised her head and looked at the two of them.

Yumiko was a little dazed for a moment.

Because what she didn't expect at all was Saya's twinkling eyes at this moment.At the bottom of the black abyss, fireworks lit by sparks were burning and crackling.

But she soon realized that "Saya" was not looking at herself, but at what was behind her...

Isn't there just a hole of nothingness behind her?

--"call".

The Mouth of Nothingness suddenly pounced forward like a living beast, instantly devouring the pervert and everything around it.

The next moment, only Sha Ye was left in the whole scene.

She was gently held in the mouth of nothingness, but she lowered her eyelids and seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

——But soon, the knife came from the void.

……

Next, Saya was beheaded again outside the station.

Then, she entered the campus and was pulled back in the corridor by the hot girl who bullied her before, insisting on apologizing.

For some reason, the witch stretched out her huge arm from the clouds again and slashed at the hot girl, but was blocked by the Mouth of Nothingness, which was now several orders of magnitude larger.

However, Yumiko noticed that the fireworks in Saya's eyes were becoming more and more brilliant.

After the second battle between the Witch and the Mouth of Nothingness ended over the campus, the scene changed again and came to a dark night.

Yukinoshita Saya was squatting in front of the management room of a certain apartment.

Tamaki Yumiko looked up at the empty apartment, but she was a little stunned - she seemed to be very familiar with this place!

Isn't this place his residence?He, he, he is——

Just when Tamaki Yumiko was racking her brains and felt that she was only one step away from remembering that person, in the scene, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the management room.

Tamaki Yumiko naturally wanted to turn her head and look around, but suddenly a piece of snow flashed across her field of vision.

The next moment, the scene in front of him had changed.

After seeing the scene that reappeared in front of them, Yumiko and Ayano looked at each other, both a little surprised.

--patio.

They actually returned to the "starting point" of Yukinoshita Saya's stage, the courtyard on a snowy night.

"Yumiko Yumiko, what's going on?"

Yumiko was also a little dazed.

But she quickly reasoned: "Uh... well! It's okay! It just happened that the place where the next thing happened was back at the old house!"

But the next moment, from the courtyard entrance, a familiar phantom appeared.

Her aunt and sister, who were still young girls, were holding Yukinoshita Saya, who was still a baby.

The phantoms of her aunt and sister went to the forge as before, and clashed with the swordsmith again.

Yumiko and Ayano stood at the door of the forging house, watching this scene reproduced perfectly.All the actions and words of the phantom were exactly the same.

"Ah, it's being played back -" Ayano suddenly said.

The famous detective Yumiko, who had made the wrong deduction again, remained silent and felt a little burning on her face.

But in fact, Ayano didn't care, just asked: "Yumiko, what should we do next?"

The detective racked his brains but couldn't think of any good solution: "Just... watch it again?"

So, the two of them continued walking along the same route as last time.Yukinoshita Saya's miserable childhood once again appeared in front of the two of them.

The seasons alternate.

The dull tapping sound of the forging hammer, with its echo, always echoed in the sky above the dark old house.

This time, Yumiko and Ayano finally didn't feel sick or vomited.

But it was not until they arrived at the dojo, where Yukinoshita Saya smiled after cutting off the swordsman's head, that the two of them exhaled a long-suppressed breath in unison.

Then they went through scenes one by one: the playground at dusk, the streets of Shinjuku, the kendo dojo, the interrogation room of the police station, the tram, and the school corridor.

Finally, Tamaki Yumiko stood in front of the familiar apartment door again.

When she heard the knock on the door, her heart suddenly reached her throat, and she felt that she was really going to think of that person——

Then the next moment, everything jumped back to the Four Seasons Courtyard.

Tamaki Yumiko covered her face in frustration.After repeating the truth three times, the two finally coincidentally did not step into the last scene, but stayed in the corridor.

"Isn't this trapped again..." Ayano muttered in a low voice.

Tamaki Yumiko also shook her head and sighed: "This won't work."

"Strange... was there such a cycle on Saya's 'stage'?" She frowned, and she was most puzzled by this.

Tamaki Yumiko was a little irritable.

Not only because of Saya, but also because she seemed to remember something after repeatedly witnessing it.

The person who lives in this apartment is the most important person to her, the person who saved her, the person...whose name is "Gray".

But why does Saya appear here? ? ?

After many repetitions, Yumiko also noticed - at that time, when the knock on the door rang, Yukinoshita Saya suddenly raised her head.

She looked at the person coming, the light in her eyes was as bright as desire, like a flame.

"Something must have happened later!!!" Tamaki Yumiko bit her finger subconsciously, "The story is absolutely impossible at that point, it was obviously cut off abruptly—"

"Wait - 'cut'." Yumiko suddenly realized something.

Once she said the word "cut off", Tamaki Yumiko naturally thought of the incident that had repeatedly reinforced her impression recently - the phantom of Yukinoshita Saya on the "stage" was being beheaded repeatedly. .

Every beheading happened at the moment when sparks flew out of Saya's eyes.

And the last time, when Saya's spark ignited the fireworks, no knife flew over to behead her, instead...

A very ridiculous idea suddenly occurred to her.

The witch not only decapitated herself... but also "decapitated" the story.

Tamaki Yumiko shuddered unconsciously.

"Ah, speaking of which, Yumiko, have you noticed-" At this time, Ayano was also frowning and thinking, "Every time Saya is killed, something happens."

"Did you notice it too? Yes, yes!" Yumiko nodded quickly.

She was about to tell what she saw the spark, but Ayano had already said it.

"Yumiko, that was the sound of the chain being pulled and the padlock hitting each other." Ayano closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then said in a rare affirmative tone, "I'm very familiar with that sound."

"...Huh? Voice?"

Yumiko was a little surprised.

...It turned out to be the sparks she saw.In Ayano's case, it's the same voice?
"Ah? Isn't it? Isn't that the kind of sound Yumiko heard?" Ayano looked at her, a little confused.

"...No, no problem, you continue." Yumiko decided decisively to put aside this unimportant and small difference for the time being.

She pressed, "So?"

"So..." Ayano had obviously been thinking about this question for a while, and answered without hesitation, "There is a lock in Saya's heart... a lock that the witch is not allowed to open."

Then her eyes suddenly became bright: "Aren't you curious? What is behind that lock? What will happen when you open that lock?"

"Open that lock?" Yumiko was stunned for a moment before reacting, "You mean, you can do it-"

Ayano nodded, raised her wrist, and displayed her pseudo-spiritual flower.

"——'Heaven's Lock'." She said with some pride, "Don't forget, I can open anyone's lock, right?"

So Tamaki Yumiko stared at her until Ayano felt a little scared: "Yu, Yumiko..."

Tamaki Yumiko sighed and relaxed.

"...That's it, Ayano, when I call you later, you can use your witch power." She warned, and then emphasized, "Use your full strength!"

Ayano nodded obediently: "I understand - but for whom should I use it?"

Tamaki Yumiko pointed to it: "To her."

Ayano looked up at the sky in astonishment.

The ruthless gaze swept over them calmly as always, as if they didn't care about the thoughts of these ants at all.

So they stepped into the next scene together.

Just as there was a knock on the door, Yumiko raised her spirits, and sure enough she felt some kind of tingling feeling coming over her.

...The witch is coming again.

But this time, it’s not about killing people or cities, but about killing the timeline.

While thinking, she shouted loudly: "Yyano!"

Ijuin Ayano raised her wrist.

The crisp ringtones instantly echoed through the sky, overlapping one after another.

The girl disappeared from where she was.

Instead, what appeared from mid-air was her witch form: a giant net made of countless golden chains.

The thousands of miniature maiden statues that make up the lock ring lament and sing, mournfully.In the song, the golden net rose from the ground, shining with beautiful light, and rose toward the endless deep sky.

then……

Yumiko felt keenly that the gaze from deep space shifted for a moment.

Other than that, nothing seems to happen.

But the important thing is this "nothing happened"!
She knew she had succeeded, and with her accelerated heartbeat, she turned back as fast as she could.

The Mouth of Nothingness disappeared.

Appearing at the door was an ordinary-looking young man.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Tamaki Yumiko was in a daze.She still couldn't remember the past that this person had experienced with her.But looking at this person, she felt a sense of grievance in her heart and wanted to open up and cry.
