Time in a collapsing world

"It seems your brother is back."

Ferdinand glanced at Yaeli who came in in a wheelchair, smiled as if bored, and got up from the sofa.

Yae Sakura's ears that had been alertly erect slowly lowered, and she quickly put down a mouthful of untouched juice and ran to her brother's side. After saying goodbye to Ferdinand, she wanted to push her brother away.

"and many more."

Ferdinand stopped the two of them, "There are some things... I want to talk to your brother."

"..."

Yae Sakura really didn't want to stay with him, because when they just chatted, this guy revealed his affection for her intentionally or unintentionally, and it was not real, just like acting, just to complete a certain task.

"No problem, just say it."

Yaeli said, patting Yaezakura's little hand to express comfort.

"Did you give my brother, Otto Apokalis, some LSD?"

"Uh-huh?"

Yaeli didn't quite understand, "How can I say that something happened to him and he just wanted to put the blame on me? Then wouldn't I be too unjust?"

"No, I just feel that my brother's relationship with you is a little too good."

Ferdinand kept an elegant smile, but secretly he had a headache.

He had heard from the servants that every time they helped Otto clean the room secretly, they would find portraits with Yaeguri hidden in the corners.

Moreover, these portraits are becoming more and more numerous as time goes by.

However, what is strange is that except for Yae Ri, there is not a single picture of Yae Sakura, Yae Rin or Kallen who are also Otto's friends.

How could Ferdinand not think about such a situation?

Although he didn't think highly of his younger brother, he was still a blood relative after all. No matter what, he couldn't just watch his younger brother fall and bring shame to the entire Apokalis family.

However, Yaeli did not understand the profound meaning of Ferdinand's words. He simply thought that a better relationship between friends was a good thing.

Could it be that Otto's brother disliked his friendship with Otto for some unknown reason?

Or... is this actually a fight within the big family?

However, since even the archbishop has said that he wants to spend more time with Otto, what is the use of Ferdinand's objection?

"I'll pay attention."

Talking nonsense to others and lying to ghosts, Yaeli still gave him some face in front of Ferdinand.

"As long as you know."

Ferdinand did not tell the archbishop about this, otherwise according to his character, Otto would not be easy in the future.

Yae Ri and Yae Sakura left the church and returned home directly without staying on the street.

It was Theophel who opened the door for the two of them.

"came back?"

This sentence was said by Yae Li who was standing outside the door.

"Ah."

Theofel nodded, "Li, I have something for you."

As he spoke, he took out a transparent sphere from his body, "Is what came out of my stomach yours, Li?"

"..."

Yaeli, who had just received the transparent sphere, stared at her silently for a long time, "Have you washed it?"

"No."

"...Tsk."

Yae Ri asked the curious Yae Sakura next to him to help clean the thing with water, and he pushed the wheelchair into the mansion and returned to the room.

"Brother, it's done...what is this?"

"I do not know either."

Yae Ri put the transparent sphere in her hand and played with it a few times, then pushed Yae Sakura away and closed the door.

Of course, Theofil was also locked out.

"Is this...a product of power?"

Yaeli didn't remember throwing this thing into Teofel's stomach. Could it be that the guy ate it greedily?

"Companion, are you curious?"

The Herrscher of Corrosion, who had been quiet for a while, said, and also gave Yaeli some advice, "Why don't you use power to liberate it? It's better than just watching now, right?"

Although it makes sense, what if this thing contains dangerous goods?

Moreover, there are many items that have been transformed by his power, and many of them have been thrown away without knowing where.

Except for the sphere on his neck, Yaeli didn't have much thought to figure out the contents inside the other spheres.

Yaeli wanted to throw this thing away, but the Herrscher of Corrosion, perhaps feeling bored, suggested: "Just take a look, what if it's a secret weapon hidden by your former companion?"

"Are you responsible if something goes wrong?"

"Harm~ Anyway, with your strength, you can take it back the moment you find something wrong after it is liberated, right?"

The Herrscher of Corrosion was strictly forbidden by Yaeli to talk to him when there were people around, so he was particularly active at this time, as if he wanted to release all the previous loneliness.

"Quick, take a look."

Being urged again, Yaeli also silently released his power slightly and transformed the transparent sphere in his hand into its original appearance.

In an instant, it was like a stream of clear water flowing through my mind.

This is a memory.

Yaeli suddenly froze, and subconsciously put down any guard, allowing it to easily integrate into his mind.

The blank past is filled.

Countless familiar scenes emerged, causing Yaeli's expression to change from dull to relieved, and finally to a heartwarming smile.

"I have to say that you made a great contribution this time."

"? Sure enough, is there some secret weapon inside?"

The Herrscher of Corrosion saw Yae Li's smile and couldn't help but be curious about the content inside.

"Well...it's just a small memory."

"Is it just a memory?"

The Herrscher of Corrosion was immediately disappointed.

Yaeli stretched out his hand to touch the communication device on his body and slightly improved it with his power.

From now on, the Herrscher of Corrosion's vision and hearing will be blinded, and whatever he hears or sees from inside will be false.

Yaeli didn't want him to be able to observe the situation outside all the time. After all, this guy must still remember some faces of the former civilization.

Originally, I wanted to deal with the Herrscher of Corrosion without stopping, but for the sake of "fighting side by side", I will temporarily imprison him.

Just after Yaeli manipulated the communication device, the Herrscher of Corrosion also started a soliloquy conversation with the illusion of Yaeli opposite him, and they were quite happy.

After using his power to isolate His voice, Yaeli came to the living room in a wheelchair.

"Brother, what should we have for dinner?"

Yae Rin suddenly attacked from behind and threw himself on Yae Ri's back, grinning.

"Isn't this what I should ask you?"

Yaeli tilted his head and said helplessly, "You have lived here longer than your sister and I. You must know which restaurant is delicious, right?"
