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

Autumn frost, mist, and cold wind.

The golden fallen leaves were wet by the rain and stuck tightly to the soil. The shivering dead branches and leaves were condensed with transparent dewdrops, like silent tears.

This day was the day Ivy was discharged from the hospital.

The new and solid gemstone, carrying the backlash, hung around her neck. Yvie held up the pendant and stared down blankly.

The gem mining trip was a full week earlier than expected. But when Tokieda Yume and the others returned to the academy and heard the bad news, they knew... they had returned too late.

The tears that Ivy failed to shed seemed to reach Shizhi Meng's eyes. She cried heartbrokenly and couldn't calm down for a long time.

After Manno Yui locked Tokieda Meng in the next room, he returned to the ward.

Chu Yu was helping Ivy remove the bandages on her body. When she saw her coming over, she couldn't help but lower her head with some guilt.

"I'm sorry...if I hadn't left, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

It was Chu Yu's turn to look after the baby that night, but she saw a suspicious figure flash by outside the window. In order to check for danger, she chased after him.

He wanted to go and come back quickly, but he fell into the enemy's trap and was trapped in the forbidden magic circle for a long time without being able to escape.

Wan Ye Xi shook his head.

"You didn't do anything wrong. It was obviously part of the enemy's plan to get you away. Even if you didn't fall for it, they must have other ways to make you leave."

"……Um."

The enemy is no longer acting, and has even clearly begun to attack them. Inducing Ying Youyou's death is the enemy's first step in the plan.

But the second step of the plan had not yet appeared. Ivy speculated that the other party might be waiting for the opportunity like last time.

The first opportunity is when the necklace is broken, so the second opportunity... is now when I get a new necklace?

"Did Yuanjing's investigation yield any results?" Ivy asked in a low voice.

The two of them looked at her at the same time. Although there was nothing unusual about her voice, Wan Yexi still sat beside her and gently held her in his arms.

"There are results."

Manno Yu had already heard the result from Tokieda Yume. Now, she explained everything on behalf of Tokieda Yume, who was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

"That is indeed something that is very disadvantageous to you, but it is useless now..." Wan Yexi said, hugging Ivy tighter. "There are two lenses, one for locking the target, and the other for observation. The content of observation is the superposition of cause and effect over time. In simple terms... it is to see which people bring you the strongest backlash."

Obviously, the lens swallowed by the white demon dog forcibly detected Ivy and selected her as the target, while the other lens was worn by Teacher Krillin, who naturally saw... the cause and effect of Hotaru Yata at the club welcome party.

“Really?” Ivy said a little disappointedly. “No wonder she was so sure.”

Ivy had never told anyone the secret that Hotaru should have died long ago, and Teacher Krillin naturally didn't know about it.

But that guy was so smart. From initially doubting Ivy's identity as a time traveler to later arbitrarily acquiescing to this fact, he just saw the ridiculously high causality of Ying Youyou and deduced the reason, and then... led to Ying Youyou's exit.

……

But the academy did not know about Ying Youyou's ending. Before dawn, Ye Jiyan brought the rescued Chu Yu to her side, cleaned up the cruel scene, and found a place to bury Ying Youyou.

When they finished all this and went to school the next day, they heard that Ying had completed the transfer procedures and left the academy that day.

It is said that the one who handled all of this was the non-existent father in Ying's fake student file.

The enemy had already 'thoughtfully' cleaned up the mess for them, so that the game could continue smoothly.

"I'm fine, really." Ivy gently pushed Wan Yexi away and broke away from the warm embrace. She walked down the bed with a shaky step and stood up carefully.

After wearing the new gem that could resist backlash, my body became very light and I could hardly feel any pain.

But why...

The depression in her heart was not covered up along with the backlash? It was still so uncomfortable that it made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Are you really okay? It's okay to sit for a while longer." Wan Yexi held her, looking worried.

The two hands actually touched each other, bringing some warmth.

This scene overlapped with that night, and then quickly separated.

Ivy finally revealed a little helplessness and confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Sister...what should I do?"

"Am I really doing the right thing..."

Wan Yexi could see that Ivy had a plan, although she didn't know what the plan was.

She held Ivy's hand firmly: "No matter what you do, I will always be with you."

"Don't be afraid of failure. It can't get any worse than it already is, right?"

"Me too." Chu Yu also expressed his position, "I will always support you."

"...If you knew my plan, you might hate me." Ivy smiled, "But thank you anyway."

Wan Ye Xi shook his head.

"Weiwei, you think we are too far away. What do you think, Chuyu?"

"I will never hate you." Chu Yu was as serious as ever.

"Student Ye, say something too."

Ye Jiyan, whose name was called, withdrew his gaze from the scenery. He had been sitting in a dark corner looking at the scenery outside the window, and now he finally raised his eyes.

"I am willing to give you everything, including my life." Ye Jiyan showed a gentle smile, "Just go ahead and do it."

Ivy was startled.

"That's it." Wan Yexi's voice brought her back to reality. "We won't hate you. Just go for it."

"I won't either!" Shi Zhimeng, with tears in her eyes, pushed open the door and rushed out, "They did something unforgivable, we must take revenge! We must not let them go!"

"Ameng... okay, stop crying." Wan Yexi wiped away her tears.

No one blamed her because she was the only one who had the right to cry loudly.

As if she was taking over for them who were sad but unable to cry, Tokieda Yume shed all their tears.

“Chu Yu, do you know who framed you?” Ivy asked calmly, putting aside all the complicated and depressing emotions.

"I know. I have been monitoring him all along and I am very familiar with his magic." Chu Yu said his identity without any pause. "The person who led me away and trapped me was the gardener of the high school department, the librarian."

"Then he will be the next person we have to kill." Ivy made a quick decision. "But before that... I need to talk to Mr. Krillin alone."
