Naruto World, Konoha Village.
"It's over."
After watching all of this, Sasuke's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun slowly. He fell into a brief silence and raised his hand.
At this moment, his hand did not possess the Six Paths Yin Power, nor was he as powerful as the Sasuke in the video.
"Hahahaha!!! Hahahaha!!!!"
Sasuke put his hand over his face and couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with irony.
This is the future, the future of the Ninja World—it's too hilarious, it's just too hilarious no matter how you look at it.
The so-called history of the Ninja World was actually a history created by Black Zetsu to save Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, and this fellow even schemed against the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan.
In a sense, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were both existences who had been schemed against by Black Zetsu.
"However..." The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and a very cold Chakra emerged from his body. He stared at the multi-anime projection screen and said coldly, "The Ninja World is not a story written by you. A guy like Itachi... you don't understand him at all!"
After learning the truth about everything, although Sasuke still held 'resentment' toward Itachi, he only allowed himself to judge what Itachi had done; others had no right to judge at all.
"Black Zetsu must die. This guy is a scourge as long as he remains in the Ninja World."
A mysterious light flickered in Sasuke's eyes. He also felt a killing intent toward Black Zetsu, but right now, he wanted to deal with Danzo even more.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!*
Just as Sasuke was thinking that, people dressed as Anbu appeared. They looked at Sasuke and said calmly, "Hokage-sama requests your presence."
"Hm?" Sasuke frowned slightly. He looked at these people dressed as Anbu; their aura was extremely cold, like emotionless machines.
Because his brother had also been in the Anbu, he instinctively felt that these guys were different from the Anbu he knew.
However, since it was an invitation from the Hokage, Sasuke naturally intended to go. After all, he still had some favorable feelings toward the Third Hokage, who, knowing that the Uchiha were planning a coup...
...still thought about solving the problem peacefully. From this point alone, Sasuke felt he was different from Danzo.
*Swoosh!*
At this moment, dozens of Anbu appeared. One of them stopped Sasuke and said, "These guys aren't Anbu; they're Danzo's subordinates."
"What?!"
Sasuke was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the members of the Root Organization and the Anbu began to fight fiercely. Both sides had probably received 'death orders' to capture or protect Sasuke, and they were hitting each other very hard.
However, there were more people on the Anbu side, and after a short while, the Root members were immediately taken down.
Apparently, the Third Hokage had already anticipated that Danzo would move against Sasuke, so he had dispatched a large number of Anbu to protect him.
"Danzo!" The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes spun. He knew why Danzo wanted to capture him—it was nothing more than feeling that since Sasuke knew the truth, he had to be silenced.
However, rather than having the Anbu protect him, Sasuke felt he could use the power of the Uchiha to deal with Danzo!
The power of his Mangekyo was enough to kill this insidious villain!
Naruto World, an unknown location.
Uchiha Madara, resurrected by Edo Tensei, stood up silently. Looking at the hate-filled Obito, he said calmly, "The Eye of the Moon Plan has failed. What do you intend to do next?"
Uchiha Madara knew Obito's personality, so he was very clear about what choice the other would make next.
Either act together with him to kill Black Zetsu...
...or, knowing what he had done, leave his side completely, heading off to who knows where.
And then there's... killing or sealing him.
He was currently just an Edo Tensei body, but even so, someone like Obito couldn't possibly defeat him.
Only if Senju Hashirama were resurrected would there be someone with the strength to suppress him.
If he hadn't seen Black Zetsu's betrayal, Uchiha Madara would have gone to kill Sasuke and Naruto so they wouldn't stand in his way in the future.
But now... Madara felt inexplicably weary. He wanted to kill Black Zetsu, and after that, he didn't want to bother with the affairs of the Ninja World anymore.
"You bastard..."
Obito naturally wanted to kill Madara, seal him completely, and then go after Black Zetsu. Once Black Zetsu was dead, Obito would choose to commit suicide.
But Obito also knew the strength gap between him and Madara, so he took a deep breath and said, "I..."
"Forget it, your answer is irrelevant."
Suddenly, Uchiha Madara didn't want to hear anything more from Obito. With a slight wave of his hand, he threw Obito aside. Blue Chakra erupted from him as Susanoo appeared, smashing a large hole in the ceiling, and he charged out.
*Rumble!*
A large number of stones fell. Obito regained control of his body, cursed Madara under his breath, and then entered his intangible state.
By the time he got up, he found that the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara had already disappeared. This made Obito's expression very unsightly. Finally, he vanished from the spot, heading to an unknown destination.
Detective Conan World.
"It's over. By the way, this Ninja World is really interesting."
After watching No. 5, Kudo Shinichi showed a mysterious smile. Sitting on the bed with his arms crossed, he lamented, "How is this a Ninja World War? It's basically just a family fight. What does it have to do with Ninjas?"
Looking at the previous videos, it seems that except for Might Guy's battle with Six Paths Madara...
...whether it's the fight between Naruto and Sasuke, the battle between brothers Itachi and Sasuke, or Black Zetsu's conspiracy and the like...
...they're almost all 'family infighting.' Other Five Great Ninja Villages were mentioned, but the only one actually fighting seems to be Konoha Village.
And in the end, didn't that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Black Zetsu say it?
Naruto and Sasuke carry the Chakra of the Six Paths Sage's sons. In a sense, they are descendants of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's grandchildren's generation.
So isn't this just a family fight? Furthermore, Kudo Shinichi made a bold deduction: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is a person from beyond the heavens, and she created the White Zetsu to oppose some terrifying existence.
Then the existence she wants to fight must be something similar to herself. Maybe an Ōtsutsuki Clan will pop up later to invade the Ninja World or something.
"Although the story feels a bit cliché, the plot twist is still eye-opening."
Kudo Shinichi lamented. Although he had guessed most of the plot, he really hadn't expected the twist at the end, because the scene of Uchiha Madara being backstabbed by Black Zetsu was truly shocking.
One second, Uchiha Madara was in high spirits, thinking he had become the Deliverer.
The next second, Uchiha Madara had his heart pierced by Black Zetsu and became Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, changing directly from male to female.
And his inner monologue before being swallowed by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya also made one sigh; who would have thought that a person like him was also an existence seeking peace.
It was just that on his path to peace, he was deceived by Black Zetsu and thus took the wrong road.
"So, what's the next video?"
Kudo Shinichi was still quite expectant about what kind of wonderful story and twist would appear in the next video.
One-Punch Man World.
"It really was wonderful."
After Saitama finished watching No. 5, The Deepest Hidden Existence, he praised, "But I don't think this Black Zetsu did anything wrong. He devised all those plans just to save his mother."
"Huh?" Tatsumaki looked at Saitama in disbelief. "But he wanted to destroy the entire Ninja World to save his mother! You can tolerate that?!"
"What are you talking about? I haven't finished yet."
Saitama looked at Tatsumaki speechlessly. He waved his hand and said helplessly, "While one can understand his reasons, if he actually goes through with it, someone will definitely come out to stop him."
"If I encountered this, I would definitely find a way to stop him. Not to mention Naruto and Sasuke—they would surely understand him, but they would definitely stop him as well."
Genos nodded slightly, agreeing with Saitama's words. He silently took out a small notebook and recorded Saitama's words.
I see. Even if Sensei encounters such a thing and feels pity, he will still step in to stop the other party. I've learned something.
"Hmph~"
Tatsumaki gave a somewhat tsundere snort. Then, looking at the darkened screen, she complained, "But this title... I feel it shouldn't be called 'The Deepest Hidden Existence,' but rather 'Black Zetsu's Quest to Save His Mother'."
"The entire war, or rather the entire incident, revolved around Black Zetsu saving his mother."
Yes, from the beginning where Black Zetsu was 'created' by Madara to the outbreak of the war and Black Zetsu backstabbing Madara, most of the plot hinted at the imminent appearance of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Tatsumaki was also prepared for a scene where Ōtsutsuki Kaguya suddenly appeared and started a killing spree.
However, what she didn't expect was that although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya appeared, the most captivating one wasn't her, but that Black Zetsu.
Looking back now, Tatsumaki found that the middle of the video was full of foreshadowing and hints, such as the Uchiha stone tablet, the fact that Infinite Tsukuyomi was created by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the conversation between the Six Paths Sage and Naruto and Sasuke, and so on... Just like the previous videos, this one is worth rewatching; a second viewing will surely have a different flavor.
"But more than that, I'm more curious about what surprises the subsequent videos will bring." Saitama stood up at this moment, preparing to make a hot pot to eat while watching.
Initially, seeing Mami Tomoe get her head bitten off, even Saitama, after a moment's thought, didn't plan to eat hot pot while watching the videos.
Now, after several videos, Saitama felt that eating hot pot while watching these videos was a good choice.
After all, Tatsumaki had been coming over every day to visit and mooch meals lately, and she had given some money for Saitama to handle the grocery shopping.
So after these few days, Saitama no longer rejected Tatsumaki as a neighbor; after all, she just gave too much.
"Yes." Genos also nodded, expressing his anticipation for the next videos, as they could bring him many benefits.
For a long time, Genos felt his fighting style was too crude; he was the type to go all out with full firepower, where either the enemy died or he did.
Now, after watching so many videos and seeing so many powerhouses fight, Genos suddenly felt that he also needed to incorporate some techniques into his combat.
After all, he wasn't like Sensei, who possessed god-like power.
Magical Girl Illya World.
"Oh~ it's over~~~"
magical ruby swayed in mid-air and looked at the somewhat dejected Illya. "Illya-chan, if your mother were sealed by your brother, what would you do?~~"
"Ah!!!! Stop talking!!!!"
Illya imagined that scene and immediately couldn't accept it, because both her brother and her mother were important existences to her.
If such a thing really happened, Illya probably wouldn't know what to do.
"..."
Miyu watched the emotional Illya. She didn't speak, but instead watched Illya 'argue' with magical ruby.
She gave a rather helpless smile. However, if her brother were to seal someone, no matter the reason, Miyu would support him unconditionally.
After a few minutes, Miyu looked at the multi-anime projection screen and reminded, "The next video is about to come out."
"Eh? So fast?"
Illya still wanted to explain to magical ruby more'seriously' that her brother would never seal their mother because he respected her very much.
Has the multi-anime projection already started the next video? That really is quite fast.
"Yes, the subtitles have appeared."
Miyu nodded slightly. Looking at the multi-anime projection screen, she said with some surprise, "But this title seems to have appeared once before."
"Eh?"
Illya looked at the multi-anime projection screen, her expression slightly stunned.
The video began to play, and first, the familiar text emerged.
No. 4, No Game No Life Zero.
Many people were slightly stunned when they saw this title, because hadn't No Game No Life been played before?
But soon, everyone noticed the 'Zero' at the end. Could it be? Is this a battle from the past or the future??
Just as everyone was curious, the images appeared.
It began with a chess piece landing on a black and white chessboard. Against this background, a male voice slowly rang out.
"When I was young, I always felt that this world was very simple. There were no games that couldn't be won, hard work would be rewarded, and everything was possible."
In a small room, a white-haired boy was playing chess. There was no opponent in front of him, as if he were playing against himself.
"The world was so simple and clear: victory, defeat, or a draw."
As the voice fell, the chess piece in front of the white-haired boy moved. A blurry figure in front of him had pushed the piece.
At the same time, a lighthearted male voice rang out in the background.
"As long as you take the correct action, as long as you choose a superior tactic, as long as you employ a more clever strategy!"
As the white-haired boy frowned at the chessboard, the initial somber male voice rang out again.
"Even if the opponent was called the strongest, I felt that I would surely win next time. What a naive and childish child..."
Just as these words fell, the scene shifted slightly. Outside, a giant dragon burning with crimson flames appeared. Above its head was a magic circle, and it opened its mouth wide, spitting out destructive energy like the end of the world.
*Vwooom!*
At this moment, as if the world were being destroyed, the white-haired boy returned to the 'real world,' shocked by the blinding light.
An explosion occurred, and a terrifying blast wave surged toward the white-haired boy. At this critical moment, a hand pulled him back.
Then, the screen went black once more.
The background narration resumed, saying calmly, "That's right, this is me."
The white-haired boy slowly opened his eyes and saw something flying across the sky. Then, he realized he was pinned under a charred corpse.
"But the world in reality is just a worthless game. In fact, this world is not just chaotic; it is full of variables, irrational, unfair, and completely meaningless."
The white-haired boy looked at his destroyed home. As if sensing something, he turned his head and saw a Little Girl who looked human but was equipped with machinery.
The two stared at each other. Although they didn't speak, they were observing one another.
"Even if it is like this..."
The white-haired boy picked up a Chess piece from the ruins and ran toward the distance.
The background narration continued.
"Next time, next time for sure..."
The man's voice was filled with determination, as if saying that even so, he would win next time!
Outside the video, in the No Game No Life World.
"Eh?"
The Blank Siblings, who had just won a large sum of money from a woman, looked at the video with some confusion.
"Shiro, doesn't that woman look a bit like you?" Sora scratched his head, looking at the mechanical Little Girl appearing in the video, appearing somewhat puzzled.
"Brother, that white-haired boy looks a bit like you too. And why are you doing the voice-over?"
Shiro also chimed in with a slight jab; the male voice in the background narration was clearly her brother.
"What is going on? Is this the past? Or could it be! This is our reincarnation?!"
Perhaps due to a wild imagination or because he came from another world, Sora's thoughts were always so whimsical.
After all, the title was No Game No Life Zero. In the previous No Game No Life video, he and Shiro had challenged a being called a Flügel.
Now, this No Game No Life Zero—could it be talking about their 'past lives'?
"Impossible." Shiro looked at Sora and retorted slightly, "Believe in science, Brother."
"Believe in theology too, since gods actually exist," Sora countered.
Although the two were bickering, they prepared to settle down and watch the video. Whether it was from the past or the future, it was enough for the siblings to watch seriously.
Compared to other videos, they wanted to see information related to this one even more; perhaps they could obtain some important information in advance.
In the No Game No Life World, inside the Human Race library.
"This is..."
Jibril frowned as she looked at the white-haired boy and the mechanical girl. She furrowed her brow as an image flashed through her mind, and she murmured to herself, "Is this an Ex-machina race? And I seem to have seen this individual before."
That's right, Jibril seemed to have seen this Ex-machina girl because the other party seemed to have left a very deep impression on her. However, because so much time had passed, even she had to flip through her Remembrance for a moment before saying with some surprise, "She seems to be called Shuvi, a stray Ex-machina."
With past memories resurfacing, Jibril looked at Shuvi in the video and murmured, "So, is this battle appearing in the video the Ex-machina's campaign to subjugate the Dragonia?"
Jibril revealed a smile, her expression gradually becoming that of a fangirl. Is this a plot from the past?
This made her look forward to what story would be told. She hoped she could make an appearance, though—if the protagonist was this Ex-machina named Shuvi, she might truly have a chance to appear again.
"Hehehehe!!!!" Jibril laughed quite obsessively.
She didn't care about the white-haired boy at all because among the Human Race, other than being interested in blank, other humans remained insignificant in her eyes.
The video continued to play.
After seeing through the perspective of the white-haired youth, most people already knew how difficult human life was in this world.
At this moment, the white-haired youth, who was Riku, appeared cold and heartless on the surface; he could execute all sorts of missions and even let his companions die.
But when he was alone, he would vent his emotions frantically, filled with self-reproach and guilt.
However, he soon pulled himself together and began his operation. He was currently heading toward a certain city of the Elf race... "What a massive building..."
Riku walked on a path made of flowers, marveling at the size of the structure. He then placed his hand on a flower, as if sensing something.
"?!"
Soon, Riku seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around to look behind him, his hand gripping a weapon.
In the end, Riku saw nothing. He was extremely alert, but he still thought to himself hopefully: 'Was it a hallucination?'
Swish—!!!
A flash of white light zipped past.
Riku reacted immediately, shouting internally, "It's not!"
Boom—!!!
An explosion rang out instantly. A powerful shockwave accompanied by debris rushed toward Riku, ultimately only blasting away a portion of the flowers on the ground.
Riku fell to the ground, a short sword in his hand. His pupils shook as he looked at the female before him who looked about ten years old—it was the same female who had appeared at the beginning.
'It's an Ex-machina!'
Riku recognized the other party's identity and appeared exceptionally shocked. He didn't know why she would appear here.
"Assessment." This female Ex-machina, Shuvi, said in a cold tone, "Commencing status analysis."
The scene from years ago flashed through Riku's mind. He kept telling himself internally: "Stay calm. This race always acts in groups and shares consciousness with companions. The cluster should be nearby, which means..."
In Riku's eyes at this moment, this cute-looking girl was actually a terrifying existence who could take his life with a casual strike.
He had to find a way to survive.
"Conclusion." Shuvi reached out and placed her hand on Riku's mask.
Riku silently lowered the weapon in his hand, thinking repeatedly: "Showing even a hint of hostility here means going against all Ex-machina. I shouldn't resist."
He accepted the situation; no matter what happened next, he would endure it.
Then Shuvi took off his mask and looked at Riku seriously, saying, "Brother, I can't take it anymore. Let me become a real woman."
"Huh?!"
Riku looked completely bewildered, not understanding the situation at all. Then Shuvi leaned in and covered his lips with hers.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
In the Magical Girl Illya World.
"No! How shameless!!!!"
Illya immediately covered her eyes and shouted loudly, "Doesn't she feel shy at all?!!"
Just like last time, although Illya said that, she still watched the entire scene through the gaps between her fingers.
"Oooooh~~~ This girl is so bold~~~"
magical ruby twisted her body in mid-air; even she felt this scene was exceptionally stimulating!!
Too stimulating—boldly offering a kiss upon their first meeting and even calling him 'Brother'.
This is just great!!!!
"..."
Miyu's face turned slightly red. She had originally maintained her expressionless state, but upon hearing this Ex-machina girl call Riku 'Brother', her small face turned red for some reason.
"Miyu, what do you think?!"
Even as Illya said this, her gaze remained fixed on the multi-anime projection screen. She felt this scene was very strange.
It was just so strange. She didn't know why she wanted to take another look—just one more look! Then she'd stop.
"I don't know." Miyu shook her head, her small face red as she looked at Riku and Shuvi in the video. After a moment of thought, she continued, "That being called an Ex-machina should be a robot. Her every move is just like the robots in legends."
"Although I don't know why she's doing this, seeing her like this, perhaps she has her own deep meaning."
"Is... that so?"
Seeing the kissing scene disappear, Illya also returned to normal somewhat. Then she said curiously, "But those two are a bit similar to the previous Blank Siblings, both in appearance and voice."
"Yes."
Miyu nodded; she thought so too. She just didn't know what kind of relationship they had.
The video continued to play.
Shuvi climbed off Riku. She looked down at him and said very calmly, "Error. Unable to comprehend."
'I'm the one who shouldn't be able to comprehend!' Riku complained internally, his pupils trembling. He completely failed to understand what was going on.
"Speculation." Shuvi stood up and continued, "Speculation: Does this situation fail to satisfy you?"
"Excuse me." Riku held his knife and looked at the Ex-machina Shuvi, saying, "I'm not the kind of pervert who gets excited by being watched by your kind."
Shuvi said calmly, "Inquiry: Who are you?"
"Stop playing dumb." Riku looked at Shuvi and said, "You're part of the cluster, right?"
"Negative."
After understanding Riku's meaning, Shuvi replied calmly, "This unit has severed its connection with the cluster."
"Severed connection?" Riku was clearly very surprised. He continued, "So you're an independent individual?"
"Confirmed."
Shuvi nodded in affirmation.
Riku continued to inquire, "Then let me ask you, what business does a wandering Ex-machina like you have with a human like me?"
Riku didn't think the other party was here for a stroll. Her purpose was extremely strong; she had seized him as soon as she arrived and even kissed him. She was clearly looking specifically for a 'human'.
Shuvi replied calmly, "Explanation: I have come to investigate the unique human language, the thing you call the 'Heart'."
"Heart?" Riku was somewhat puzzled.
"Reason." Shuvi continued calmly, "This unit attempted to analyze whether the Ex-machina possess a heart. Due to theoretical loopholes, many contradictions arose. The unit was disconnected and scrapped. Since then, this unit has resumed independent observation."
"..." Riku looked at Shuvi, his gaze becoming sharp. He thought to himself: 'Through observation, you intend to analyze the heart alone? And hope to rejoin the cluster?'
Through just a simple conversation, Riku roughly understood why Shuvi had come looking for him.
"Request." Shuvi reached out and placed her hand on Riku, saying calmly, "This unique language involves physical intimacy, a hypothetical act of exchanging hearts. Please engage in reproductive behavior with this unit."
Swish—!!!
Riku pulled out a short sword and held it to his own neck, saying sternly, "I refuse!"
Looking at the resolute Riku, Shuvi said calmly, "Proposal: It is also acceptable for you to follow your desires and ravish this unit. Although this unit does not possess a p*ssy."
"I won't do that." Riku appeared somewhat helpless, then he added with a jab, "By the way, so you really don't have one."
Shuvi silently stepped back, clearly not intending to force Riku.
Seeing this, Riku stopped holding the short sword to his neck and slowly stood up.
"Deployment."
However, Shuvi moved. The two Tail-like cables behind her expanded into a barrier-like existence, enveloping Riku and herself.
"Game, 001, Chess." Shuvi looked at the shocked Riku and said slowly, "Showdown. Requesting a game. Condition: If this unit wins, you will take this unit back and engage in reproductive behavior."
Riku gripped a Chess piece, his expression appearing quite shocked. At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, saying with some emotion, "Of all things, it's Chess."
"How could I possibly win against an Ex-machina capable of computational analysis?"
The screen shifted slightly to a young Riku playing Chess.
Riku's own voice sounded somewhat hesitant: "But... what if... I actually win?"
Riku's chances of winning were almost zero, but he was still thinking about what would happen if he did win.
"Answer." Shuvi looked at Riku and said very calmly, "You can take this unit home and engage in reproductive behavior."
"Hey!" Riku complained helplessly, "Isn't that the same thing?!"
"Fine then."
Despite his words, Riku sat down helplessly. He looked at Shuvi and said, "It seems there's no other choice. Let's play then."
"Confirmed."
Shuvi nodded. She looked at Riku and said calmly, "Starting the game according to the set conditions."
"Ah." Riku naturally understood the game settings. He said seriously, "One round to decide the winner, but as for the conditions!"
Riku showed a rather 'kind' smile at this moment. He looked at Shuvi and said, "I want to make a few changes!"
The scene flashed by. Afterwards, it was unknown who actually won; all that was known was that in a'snowy landscape'...
Shuvi was running while carrying Riku and his mount.
"Aaahhhhh!!!"
Riku let out a scream, clearly quite unaccustomed to this level of speed.
After they arrived at their destination, Shuvi dropped the person and the pet on the ground. She said calmly, "Arrived."
"With this mobility of yours, did you really not use spirit power?!" Riku's voice was full of disbelief. A seemingly weak Little Girl had actually carried him and his mount for so long.
And her speed was actually that fast?! This was simply cheating.
"Affirmative." Shuvi nodded. She calculated calmly, "Using spirits could shorten the time by 55,782 seconds. Supplement: this unit is an Analysis Unit, collectively known as an Auditor. Within the Ex-machina race, its performance is below average."
Riku's voice sounded a bit bitter as he said, "Constantly at war with such absurd races, it's impossible for the world not to be destroyed."
The scene flashed again. Riku and Shuvi arrived inside a cave.
On the way back, Riku asked, "What's your name?"
"Cannot comprehend." Shuvi was puzzled, not understanding what Riku was talking about.
Seeing Shuvi's attitude, Riku explained, "I'm talking about a name. Don't you have one?"
"Understood." Shuvi's tone was very calm. "Individual identification number UC207Pr4f57t9."
Riku turned his head to look at Shuvi, his voice even more speechless. "Does that even count as a name? No, say a name that sounds like a human's."
"Question." Shuvi looked at Riku and said, "The condition after this unit's victory is to stay by Riku's side until the heart analysis is complete. Is it necessary to conceal that this unit is an Ex-machina race?"
Riku stopped in his tracks. Holding an object similar to a torch, he looked at Shuvi and said, "Didn't I say that the so-called 'heart' refers to the boundary where mutual understanding can be felt?"
"If you're going to live with me, then disguise yourself as a human."
"Question." Shuvi roughly understood. She followed up, "Is the name to be freely set?"
"Whatever you want," Riku said perfunctorily.
"..." Shuvi was silent for a moment. She touched her hair and then said, "Answer: my name is Schwarzer."
"Too long, hard to pronounce, doesn't sound like a name." Riku put down the torch-like object and then said, "Rejected on those three points. You'll be called Shuvi."
"Confusion." Shuvi tilted her head. She asked in a puzzled manner, "Previously corrected to free setting."
"Sigh." Riku sighed inwardly. He looked at Shuvi helplessly and said, "Before we go in, can you change your way of speaking?"
"Loading." Shuvi closed her eyes. She said calmly, "Virtual Personality 1610."
"!"
Shuvi opened her eyes. She looked at Riku, her calm voice changing slightly. She moved her body and acted cute with malicious intent, "Big brother, do you like me like this?"
"No way!" Riku refused decisively.
"Objection." Shuvi looked at Riku and rejected his refusal, "The above relationship setting is very logical."
Riku sighed helplessly. "Do you think if I simply tell everyone you're my sister, we'll be able to pull it off?"
"Request." Shuvi looked at Riku and said indifferently, "Please provide me with the optimal solution."
Now Shuvi seemed to be at a loss as well; after all, this involved the issue of the 'heart'.
"Yeah." Riku was also a bit troubled. He said helplessly, "It would be very troublesome if they asked about your past. You're timid, reticent, don't say unnecessary things, and mechanical responses are also forbidden. How about that?"
While Riku was speaking, Shuvi silently closed her eyes, as if she were imitating something.
Then she slowly raised her head. Her voice clearly had a hint of emotion as she spoke, "I understand. Is this okay?"
"?!"
Riku was clearly shocked. He looked at Shuvi in disbelief and said, "Are you acting?"
"Acting?" Shuvi shook her head. She continued, "No, I tracked a persona consistent with the suggested settings and then imitated it."
"Fine." Although Riku was shocked, he still nodded and continued, "You must not leave my sight, and don't take off your clothes. Can you do something about those two Tail-like things?"
Shuvi looked at her 'Tails'. She said calmly, "I can't. These are my power source, the virtual spirit corridor connection nerves."
"Then there's no choice." Riku said with a bit of a headache, "Just insist they are decorations. Listen, I'll say it again: absolutely do not let anyone see your mechanical body."
"Mm." Shuvi grabbed her clothes and said very seriously, "I will only show it to Riku."
Outside the video, in the No Game No Life World.
"This..."
Looking at Shuvi and Riku, the Blank Siblings fell into a brief moment of deep thought once again.
"Sister! Tell me, you're Shuvi's reincarnation, aren't you?" Sora looked at Shuvi in the video, whose tone and temperament were very similar to Shiro's, and commented slightly, "I didn't expect you to be just as cute in your past life as you are now!"
"Imitation?"
Shiro looked at Shuvi in the video with a bit of curiosity. She spoke up, "Brother, could the persona she mentioned tracking be me?"
In fact, Shiro had also noticed that Shuvi's appearance wasn't exactly the same as hers, but after the other party suddenly tracked the so-called persona, she became almost the same as her.
Mm! That human named Riku also looked almost the same as her brother.
However, they weren't exactly alike; they could only be considered similar flowers.
It was like two flowers that bloomed looking identical, but in the end, they couldn't be considered the same person; they could only be said to be similar.
"It's possible." Sora looked at Shuvi and Riku in the video. As if he had thought of something, he murmured to himself, "This is probably footage from the past. Did humans have such a hard time back then? It's really unimaginable. How could he have shouldered such pressure?"
"And... why does it have to be Chess?"
Neither Sora nor Shiro had forgotten that they were pulled into this magical world because they had won a game of Chess against a being claiming to be a god.
Now, at the beginning of the video, the young Riku was playing Chess with an invisible presence.
Later, Riku played Chess with this Ex-machina race being named Shuvi.
This couldn't help but make one feel that this was a different kind of hint.
