I don't want to be an elf!

They were in a miserable state, their clothes were torn into shreds, and bullet holes were clearly visible.

However, no one backed down.

Their eyes were firm, and they stood with Osamu Dazai wordlessly, showing their determination.

"Yes, Miss Tokisaki, we can still fight."

Dazai Osamu raised his chin and said proudly.

"As long as we have one person standing, this battle will not end!"

Chapter 97 Nightmare's Curtain Call

Such awareness is really commendable.

Even if Nakahara Chuuya, the strongest combat force in Yokohama, is lost, the remaining superpowers united are not a force that can be ignored.

It's a pity that no matter how they struggle, they can only be buried with Yokohama in the end.

Once Tokisaki Kurumi takes action, it will only cost a little more to get rid of these superpowers.

However, she did not need to do so.

The main task has been completed, and she can return to the settlement space at any time and leave this world.

The reason why they are still here, waiting for the guardians of Yokohama to come to the door, is just to complete the side mission of defeating Nakahara Chuya by the way, and then leave a perfect ending for this show.

Then, it was time for the stage to end.

Facing the superpowers under the throne who were preparing to attack, Tokisaki Kuangsan made a thought, and the Tengman wrapped around other parts of his body also turned into sawdust under the agitation of spiritual power.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I admire your willingness to sacrifice for your homeland from the bottom of my heart."

Tokisaki Kurumi got up from the throne.

With the departure of the host, Grapevine Man could not continue to graft Tokisaki Kurumi, because he also lost the ability to use the time-eating city.

After she left the Fujiman Throne, the Scarlet Domain covering Yokohama disappeared.

The warm sun shines again, bringing life to the city.

However, the supernatural beings in Yokohama did not relax at all, but tensed up even more.

Just before they thought that the final decisive battle was about to break out, a sly smile appeared on Tokisaki Kurumi's face.

"Before we fight, let's negotiate a deal."

"There is nothing to talk about between us, Nightmare, you need to be responsible for Yokohama's losses." Sakaguchi Ango said without accepting it.

"It's time to return peace to this city." Fukuzawa Yukichi said solemnly.

"Miss Tokisaki, I won't do this kind of business with you again." Mori Ogai shook his head with a chuckle.

"It's hard to wait for such an opportunity, do you think we will let you go?" Eyepatch Three snorted coldly.

"Today is the day when the doomed judgment comes!" Bandage Three shouted loudly.

"Don't be so anxious, at least listen to my request before making plans?"

The phantom of a huge clock appeared behind Tokisaki Kurumi, exuding an ancient and heavy aura.

Holding two guns, Tokisaki Kurumi looked at the supernatural beings around him, and said with a sweet smile: "As you all know, I need to absorb a lot of time to drive the twelve bullets, go back to the past to complete one thing, and Now, 99% of the time needed to drive the Twelve Bullets has been collected."

"It seems that we are not too late." Osamu Dazai said, "At least we can save 1% of the people."

"This is the content of the transaction I want to propose." Tokisaki Kurumi said, "If you choose to refuse, I will continue to use the city of eating time to absorb time, but if you choose to agree, I can also promise not to absorb it anyone's time."

"So how do you make up that last 1%?"

"Use my own life." Tokisaki Kurumi said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. Even if I use the last part, the rest is enough to fight the phantom."

The crowd fell silent.

Some people showed surprise on their faces, never thinking that the cold-blooded and bloodthirsty nightmare would sacrifice themselves.

Some people are puzzled and don't understand why Tokisaki Kurumi chose such an ending.

Some people's expressions turned dark, as if they understood why she did this.

But no matter what, it was a deal they couldn't refuse.

Everyone here knows that her purpose is to go back in time and kill Phantom. If she succeeds, the world will be reset, and nothing that happens in Yokohama now will happen in the new world.

Even if she failed and was killed by the phantom after going back to the past, there would be no loss for Yokohama and the supernatural beings in Yokohama.

In other words, as long as they agreed to Tokisaki Kurumi's deal, not only did they not need to risk their lives to fight, but they could also save the last 1% of people, and Tokisaki Kurumi, who was the culprit, would also disappear.

No matter Tokisaki Kurumi succeeds or fails, they are the ones who profit.

They have no reason to refuse.

If they still stubbornly want to fight Tokisaki Kurumi, not only are they likely to lose their lives, but after the time spent in the battle, Tokisaki Kurumi will definitely have to absorb more time.

Only accepting this deal is the best decision for everyone.

"Miss Tokisaki."

Mori Ogai smiled, but his expression was helpless: "I have to say, every time you throw out the chips, they are so tempting."

Obviously, the boss of the port mafia wants to accept this deal.

He has been with Kurumi Tokisaki for the longest time, and he understands best how difficult it is to deal with her powers. He doesn't want to be an enemy of her unless he has to.

The president of the Armed Detective Agency and the sub-director of the Supernatural Secret Service looked at each other, but they were a little uncertain.

"Dazai, Ranpo, what do you think?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

"President, accept it." Edogawa Ranpo said, "I know this is very unfair to those who have died, but for the future of Yokohama, this is the best choice in the worst ending gone."

"Well... I think this deal is harmless to us." Osamu Dazai scratched his face in embarrassment, "Although I just said something cool, but really If we fight, we will definitely lose.”

"Take it as soon as you see it... is it?"

The two think tanks in the Armed Detective Agency said so, even if Fukuzawa Yukichi was a little unwilling, he could only focus on the overall situation.

As for Ango Sakaguchi?

The Japanese government did not express their attitude from the beginning to the end, but under the threat of destroying the city, their failure to express their attitude just shows that their attitude is that they do not want to be enemies with Tokisaki Kurumi.

Now, Tokisaki Kurumi proposed such a harmless deal, and Sakaguchi Ango had no reason to refuse.

The leaders of the three major organizations in Yokohama all nodded.

They accepted the deal.

Eyepatch Three and Bandage Three also acquiesced to the deal.

Just like Edogawa Ranpo said, this is the best choice in this bad ending.

"Then, I have one last gift, and a trivial request."

Tokisaki Kurumi hooked his fingers slightly, and several figures appeared in the shadow space.

As they fully emerged from the shadows, everyone was surprised to find that these people were not nightmare clones, but members of the group.

Except for the monster-like Lovecraft, James who was executed by Koyo Ozaki, and John who was let go, all other combined abilities are all here.

Some of them were tied up, some fell into a coma, and some were awake but motionless because of fear.

"The members of these groups should be quite attractive to the government. Whether the government wants to absorb them or use them as diplomatic hostages, I don't care."

Tokisaki Kurumi said lightly, and by the way, threw the mystery novel in his hand to Ango Sakaguchi: "In addition to Mr. Nakahara, there is also Mr. Edgar from the group. I will give it to you."

"It is indeed a precious gift." Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses, "Then what should we give?"

"I have a subordinate named Quan Jinghua, who used to be an assassin of the port mafia, do you know?"

"Ah, the famous 35 Killer, a familiar face on the wanted list." Ango Sakaguchi raised his eyebrows, "I haven't heard anything about her in a few days. It turns out she was transferred to your command."

"I hope you can revoke her arrest warrant and give her a new identity so that she can return to a normal life."

"Humph......"

"Do you disagree?"

"No, I'm just surprised you've made such a small request."

"Then I'll take it as your agreement."

"I will properly arrange the future life of that girl, don't worry."

"Thank you very much." Tokisaki Kurumi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "In this way, even if I can't kill Phantom after returning to the past, Kyoka can live a normal life."

Everyone became more and more silent.

No one thought that Tokisaki Kurumi's last wish was to arrange a way out for her subordinates.

Such behavior simply does not fit the image of the nightmare in their minds.

Among all the people, there is only one person who vaguely understands the reason why Tokisaki Kurumi did this.

"Perhaps, she is really a...gentle person."

Even though countless Yokohama citizens fell in front of his eyes and witnessed Tokisaki Kurumi's crimes, such thoughts still appeared in Atsushi Nakajima's heart.

In the bottomless darkness belonging to [Nightmare], the part belonging to [Tokisaki Kurumi] is still shimmering.

"Then, gentlemen, this will probably be the last time we see each other."

The girl showed a sincere smile, raised her flintlock gun, and pressed it against her temple: "This is the end of the story belonging to Tokisaki Kurumi."

[Confirm to return to the settlement space]

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the girl's body gradually became transparent and lost her entity.

As if blending into the space, dots of light flicker in the forest like fireflies, and go with the wind.

She disappeared.

The girl named "Tokisaki Kurumi", the existence named "Nightmare", disappeared in front of everyone.

It was like the dream was over.

With the disappearance of Tokisaki Kurumi, the surviving clones also entered the same state.

The avatar that got lost in Yokohama, the avatar that guarded John, and the avatar who skipped work to catch fish in the entertainment venue, all saw the system prompt at the moment Tokisaki Kurumi chose to return.

【End of play】

Soon, they all disappeared like bubbles, leaving no trace.

"The main body has disappeared, and our avatars have no reason to exist."

Among the crowd, Eyepatch Three's body also began to become transparent.

She watched her hands gradually disappear, but she didn't feel any shock or panic, only a look of indifference that she knew earlier.

"Thank you for your hard work and dedication, the Special Agents will always remember you."

At the end of his life, Ango Sakaguchi finally let go of his vigilance and prejudice against her, and bowed solemnly to her.

Eyepatch Three wanted to say something, but was speechless.

The smile was the last expression on her face before disappearing.

"Hey, wait, so you're going to disappear too?"

Realizing something, Atsushi Nakajima, who was a little sad because Tokisaki Kurumi left, widened his eyes and looked at Bandage San beside him.

The members of the Armed Detective Agency also realized this one after another, and their expressions became a little sad.

Although we didn't get along for a long time, everyone more or less fell in love with this silly kid.

What's more, she has already been admitted as a member of the Armed Detective Agency.

Now being told that Bandage [-] is about to disappear, everyone feels reluctance to give up.

"You will always be a member of the Armed Detective Agency." Fukuzawa Yukichi said seriously.

"Your kitten, I will take care of it for you, don't worry." Osamu Dazai patted her on the shoulder.

"Snacks, I will burn them for you every year." Edogawa Ranpo said.

"It's so hard to get a girl, alas, what a pity." Yosano Akiko said regretfully.
