    “Hmm...?”

    After blankly reading through Frey’s diary, Kania suddenly came to her senses and lifted her head.

    “I-Is this...?”

    Her surroundings had changed within moments, as she realized she was no longer in Isolet’s house.

    “......???”

    It was a place that she was very familiar with, the garden of the Starlight Mansion.

    “Why am I suddenly here...?”

    With a perplexed expression, Kania looked around.

    “.....!”

    She lowered her head absentmindedly and widened her eyes as she heard crackling in her hands.

    – Crack... Crack...

    The sound came from a translucent window that appeared in the diary she held.

    [The Ending Credits Are Now Playing] [Discover the heroic stories of Frey Raon Starlight. As a result, clear up all misunderstandings to allow him to lead a happy life.]

    “Huh?”

    Kania’s expression gradually hardened as she read the contents of the window.

    “W-Were the writings regarding the ‘Prophecy’ true?”

    Kania eventually mumbled with a completely stiff expression.

    “...Uh.”

    She stared at the front door of the Starlight Mansion with trembling eyes.

    “I-I have to go in, right?”

    The diary’s contents began to appear in Kania’s mind, urging her to enter the mansion.

    “U-Umm..”

    As such, Kania hesitantly walked to the mansion’s front door.

    “Oops.”

    She was startled and took a step back as her hand easily passed through the front door.

    “........”

    A chilling moment of silence followed.

    “...Gulp.”

    As Kania swallowed dryly in the silence, she shut her eyes and stepped forward.

    – Swish...

    As she walked in, she saw a very familiar sight. Dark-colored wooden floors, a cozy sofa, and vintage decorations.

    However, even though the synergy of these items were meant to create a comfortable and exquisite atmosphere, Kania started trembling as she saw this familiar room.

    It was because the Starlight Mansion was not a place of comfort or coziness, but her prison instead.

    “...Uh.”

    “...Young Master.”

    Kania took a deep breath after trembling for a while.

    “Were you really... a Hero that protected everyone?”

    She clutched her fist as she wore a hollow expression.

    “Then, all the evil deeds you have done so far...”

    She murmured in a low voice.

    “...was it necessary for you to do that?”

    Of course, no one answered her questions.

    – Clatter, clatter!

    “...!?”

    Instead, noises could be heard from the kitchen.

    – Shaaaah...

    Kania could only mumble and frown as she stared with red-shot eyes.

    “That is...”

    It was because she saw a familiar black aura emerge from where the noise was located.

    “...Wait, could it be?”

    It was then that Kania realized. She was now at the point corresponding to the dates written in Frey’s diary.

    – Squeak...

    Thus, Kania looked on with equal amounts of familiarity and bewilderment as this mysterious event played before her.

    “.....!”

    In utter shock, she watched as her own self came out from the opened kitchen door.

    – Thud, thud.

    A version of herself who wore a cold expression held a tray containing sandwiches and coffee towards the room that the original Kania was already in.Vissit (.)c.om for updates

    “Persistent jerk...”

    Then, she stopped briefly and mumbled something in disgust.

    “...Why won’t that jerk eat?”

    Then, she began to go up the stairs slowly.

    “.......”

    While observing her other self’s actions in a daze, Kania couldn’t help but follow as if she was under a spell.

    – Knock, knock, knock.

    “I’ve brought your meal, Young Master.”

    As Kania followed, she saw her other version started to knock on a very familiar door.

    “Let’s finish this quickly...”

    And then, shortly after.

    “Come in.”

    As Frey’s voice rang out, Kania was taken aback because it was the first time she heard his voice since the final battle.

    “Here are the sandwiches and coffee you ordered, Young Master..”

    “Hmm.”

    Even as it caused him so much pain, Frey ate her poisoned and cursed food with so much nostalgic happiness. Throughout the Special Quest, Kania could feel his desperate desire for salvation with even more intensity.

    [...Her food is still the most delicious dish in the world.]

    “Ughh...”

    Those words continued to pound in Kania’s head and the painful realization caused her to lose her strength and plunge to the floor.

    – Swish...

    “...Huh?”

    As time passed, Frey, who had been sitting at his desk without falling asleep, glanced at the clock and got up from his seat.

    [3:30 AM]

    The clock, which was decorated with magic crystals, indicated that the current time was early in the morning.

    – Squeak...

    Kania stared blankly at Frey, who was opening the door and stepping outside cautiously at such a late hour.

    “All right.”

    With a complicated expression, she got up from her seat.

    “The reason I infused poison and curses into Frey...”

    And then, Kania slowly followed Frey from behind.

    “It was because every night... Frey...”

    “Tried to force...”

    She opened her mouth, but her words trailed off.

    “.......”

    With an even paler expression than before, Kania continued to follow Frey’s steps.

    “Ughh.”

    Kania stopped in her tracks as well, when Frey abruptly halted in the darkened hallway.

    – Squeak...

    “A-As expected...”

    Kania murmured in a trembling voice as she gazed intently at the door that Frey opened.

    “...You are going to my room.”

    Without fail, Frey visited Kania’s room every late night.

    “Hmm... Hmm.”

    “..........”

    Frey entered Kania’s room, as he held his breath and cautiously observed her state of consciousness.

    “...All right.”

    Frey proceeded to unbutton his clothes.

    – Click.

    – Swish, ssk...

    He carefully climbed onto the bed and slipped his hand inside Kania’s top while she was lying still.

    “T-That’s right...”

    Kania’s expression gradually hardened as she witnessed the scene before her.

    “I knew it... I knew it, but I have to endure it...”

    Kania continued to watch as mixed emotions crossed her face.

    “Although I always fantasized about revenge... I was worried about my sister... so I endured it.”

    She began to unleash the feelings that she had always held in..

    “No matter how much it was desired, that’s... huh?”

    She suddenly looked perplexed.

    “I didn’t give you enough life force all this time, so it was tough for you, right? Hang in there, Kania.”

    Frey spoke as his hand was still inside her shirt.

    “I’m about to improve your sister’s healing ability. And, in this cycle...”

    Instead of doing something Kania had expected, she heard a surprising statement from Frey.

    “...I think I can finally give you a Happy Ending.”

    Frey’s hand gently caressed her back while his other hand covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

    – Shaaaah...!

    Shortly thereafter, an unknown energy began to infuse into her body.

    “Cough! Cough...!”

    “Akkhhhh!!”

    At that moment, Kania felt intense pain, as if her insides were being twisted. Consequently, she collapsed and vomited the blood she had been holding in the entire time.

    “Ah... Ugh...”

    “...Huh?”

    However, her expression quickly changed to one of astonishment as she witnessed her different persona begin to regain her vitality, despite only lying on the bed.

    “U-Ugh...”

    Meanwhile, even as he was gasping his head while trembling in pain, Frey continued to infuse his own life force into Kania’s body until the very last drop that he could give.

    “...Ughh.”

    “T-This is...”

    And shortly after...

    [Achievement Unlocked: Unwavering Spirit]

    As Kania watched the scene in inevitable agony, a translucent window mockingly appeared in front of her.

    [The number of times Frey had forcibly violated others across every regression: ]

    “W-What is this...?”

    A highly provocative message appeared on the system window, almost as if it was meant for Kania to read while she trembled in disbelief.

    “Yo-...”

    Soon, she completely stiffened, even while forgetting all the pain she had experienced thus far.

    “Young Master......”

    Her eyes were completely fixated on the only two words left on the translucent window.
