Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

For some reason, from a certain moment on, Ivy suddenly felt the backlash lessened.

Although it cannot change the current situation where the backlash is still strong, the relief is enough for her to move her body.

Ivy sat up from the bed with difficulty. Everything was dark before her eyes. She raised her heavy arms and, after a long effort, finally touched the bandage wrapped around her eyes.

"Ow..."

Mixed in with the sharp tinnitus was the cry of a small animal.

"...Kabu?"

Although her voice sounded weak and hoarse, she managed to get it out smoothly.

Kabu jumped onto the bed and helped her tear off the bandages in front of her eyes.

It was night outside the window, and moonlight poured in, shining on the cold, blood-stained quilt.

What happened?

The rigid mind works slowly.

Ivy didn't know what day it was or how much time had passed since she collapsed, but there was one thing she had to find a way to confirm.

That is why the backlash was slightly alleviated.

Because this feeling was completely different from the sensory deception that Ye Jiyan brought her. It was like being truly torn apart from her body, giving her a real sense of relief.

"Take me out..."

After trying to move his limbs and feeling the bone-eroding pain, Ivy could only seek help from the only companion in the house.

Kabu roared and used the magic of gigantism to transfer Ivy onto its back.

The room outside was also empty. The man and the beast walked silently in the silent corridor until Kabu brought her outside.

The cool air blew on her cheek, but it left a stinging feeling like a knife cutting her.

Ivy gritted her teeth and endured it. She raised her dizzy head and looked at the empty street.

"Go find...your master."

Kabu raised his head and sniffed the air.

It quickly locked onto Ying Youyou's position and began to run steadily in the night.

……

Walk along the street, turn after passing a big tree, enter the walking area along the lake, turn after passing the second bench, step onto the lawn, and get close to the lakeshore.

Yingyouyou was standing on the shore.

The night sky and the waning moon on the lake set off her thin and lonely figure.

"Ouch—"

Kabu called out nervously.

"Kab, don't come over here." Ying ordered again in a low voice. She always faced the lake and didn't look back.

Under the command of his master, Kabu could only stop, stand there anxiously, wagging his tail, and making anxious and nervous low howls.

Ivy rolled over to the ground, then fell down helplessly.

But the expected calls and support did not happen. It took Ivy several minutes to regain his balance amid the severe pain in his mind and body, and he climbed up with difficulty.

When she looked up at the figure on the lakeshore, even though her eyes were stinging, she still noticed that under Yingyouyou's feet... it seemed that she was stepping on a magic circle.

"Hina..." She tried to make a sound, "What are you doing here?"

The magic circle emits a faint white light, with complex patterns and dense runes. If you don't look closely, you can't tell what kind of magic circle it is.

But Ivy still felt uncomfortable. She felt that the magic circle was definitely a bad thing.

"Avi, are you feeling better?"

Before Ivy could answer, Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "That must be the case, otherwise... you wouldn't be standing here."

Ying kept looking at the lake, and Ivy couldn't see her expression.

"This way, we can confirm it."

"What Mr. Krillin said is indeed... right."

Ivy's pupils shrank slightly: "...What do you mean? What did you do?"

She raised her stiff feet and took a difficult step forward.

"do not come!"

Ying turned around and shouted again, her eyes filled with tears.

“Flame?” The bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger. The way Firefly looked was unfamiliar to her. Ivy said helplessly, “Don’t cry…”

"This magic circle is a delayed magic. After six hours, it will explode, and I decided to stand inside it." Ying wiped away her tears again, as if she was happy with her decision. She raised a bitter smile, "I didn't expect that after making this decision, you could stand up and talk before you really died... So I confirmed that as long as I die, you can live easily."

The sharp tinnitus could not cover up Ying Youyou's voice. Ivy shook his head: "What are you talking about? It's not like that..."

"That's it." Ying interrupted her again.

"That's it, Avi."

"You don't need to die." Ivy felt a sharp pain in his throat and tried to keep his voice clear. He persuaded, "The backlash is caused by many reasons, not just you. You can't change anything by yourself..."

"I can change that."

"Even without you, there are still Tokichi Meng and Manno Xi..."

"But only me! I should have died at the very beginning!"

“…!” Ivy’s body was shaking. She shook her head desperately and reached out to support Kabu so that he wouldn’t fall. “It’s not like that. Calm down.”

"That's it." Tears rolled down her eyes. Ying looked at the magic circle under her feet again, took out a sharp knife, and put it on her neck. "I shouldn't exist in this world. If I weren't there, you wouldn't be so miserable."

“Put down the knife and come over here, okay?” Ivy stretched out her hand and took two difficult steps forward. “I’m fine. Even if it hurts, it’s only temporary. Once I have the gem that can resist the backlash, everything will return to normal…”

"That's only temporary! The backlash won't disappear, and the gem will break again." The sharp blade left a very thin blood mark on her neck, but Ying Youyou seemed to feel no pain and continued, "But if I die, the backlash will be reduced forever."

The breeze mixed with the smell of blood rushed into Ivy's nostrils, leaving a pungent sweet smell that never dissipated.

The disturbing dizziness came over her like a tide. After only taking a few steps, Ivy fell to the ground uncontrollably. She struggled to support her body, and the bandage on her arm slowly seeped blood.

Ying smiled sweetly while shedding tears: "This way, I can help Avi, right?"

“No!” Ivy ignored the severe pain all over her body, grabbed the grass with her bloody fingers, and tried to crawl towards the lake shore. “What should I do if you die?”

"I don't want you to leave me, Hotaru...!"

“So… please.” Ivy stretched out her hand, her eyes filled with helplessness and anxiety.

Under the night sky, Yingyouyou's figure seemed so dark and distant.

"Listen to me again, okay? Don't leave me..."
