Please Don't Treat Me Roughly

　　Ryota saw Mori's body which had turned to ashes.

　　He held back his anger only when he couldn't sense the opponent's soul force reaction at all.

　　The flames burning on his body also dissipated, and his lofty aura gradually died down.

　　However, Ryota had not relaxed his body just yet. He turned around suddenly, came towards Kurumi at an extremely fast speed, and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

　　He held her tightly, with no intention of letting go.

　　"..."

　　Kurumi's heart suddenly trembled, she was slightly confused, and her face was slightly unnatural. But she quickly forced herself to calm down, and asked as if nothing had happened:

　　"Is there any problem?"

　　"You are Tokisaki Kurumi, right?"

　　"Ara ara… you have identified the wrong person."

　　"Your watch eye is exposed, and you have admitted the wrong person... Who are you kidding!"

　　Ryota glanced at the other party speechlessly.

　　Talking nonsense with open eyes?

　　"...There are very few people who know my eyes. It seems you know me well?"

　　Kurumi saw that she couldn't dodge, so she acknowledged her identity and asked casually.

　　"That's right,"

　　Ryota nodded and replied: "I got information about you from somewhere else, but the information is a little wrong, you are a little different from my impression. Forget it, don't talk about it."

　　After a pause, he got to the point: "Tokisaki, may I ask a few questions?"

　　"If I say no, will you let me go?"

　　Kurumi glanced at her gripped wrist.

　　"No!" Ryota said firmly.

　　After finally being caught by her, how could he give up such a good opportunity to ask?

　　He had many doubts.

　　"It's really hard... It's okay, but I don't promise to solve your doubts."

　　"No, I think you should be able to, because you probably know the answer to what I'm about to ask."

　　Ryota sorted out the doubts in his heart, then asked: "First of all, the first question, are you a Spirit?"

　　Hearing this question, Kurumi suddenly froze in place. Looking at Ryota's face, surprise appeared in her eyes, and her expression was slightly confused.

　　After being stunned for five or six seconds, she regained his senses, shook her head slightly and said: "There are no Spirits in this world, Ryota."

"You know my name?"

　　"Didn't you ask a young lady to tell you a word before?"

　　Kurumi answered very naturally: "This kind of thing has happened before. I still know your name."

　　Ryota asked: "I'm not that famous, am I?"

　　"I found out from somewhere else." Kurumi slightly curved her lips, "Didn't you also find out my information from somewhere else? Nothing strange, right?"

　　"...Okay."

　　Ryota saw her reluctance to answer this question, so he changed his question:

　　"Who was the person who entrusted you to tell me the previous sentence? What does that sentence mean? What does it mean time is running out? And do not despair, what does it mean..."

　　"Wait a minute, don't worry, come one by one, I will tell you slowly."

　　Kurumi shook her hand slightly, and suggested: "Before that, can you let go of my wrist first? Your movements are too rough, and they hurt me a bit."

　　Hearing this, Ryota didn't respond, and still held her tightly. He had absolutely no intention of letting go.

　　Just kidding. Psyker third stage, her wrist hurts after being grabbed, that's a lie!

　　"Ryota...?"

　　"No!"

　　Ryota resolutely refused, and said: "If I let go, you will run?"

　　"...Why do you think so?"

　　"intuition."

　　Facing Ryota's serious eyes, Kurumi could only give up the idea of temporarily escaping.

　　Not that she couldn't break free. However, she somewhat refused to do that to Ryota.

　　"Okay, take it if you want."

　　Kurumi sighed softly, stopped resisting, and answered the question just now: "The identity of the person who entrusted me to deliver your message is rather special, and it's inconvenient for me to reveal it. As for what the words mean… I don't know either, I can only tell you my guess. "

　　After sorting out her language, she continued: "She told you not to give up hope, probably referring to the Military Commander System. Once you despair and cross the threshold of negative emotions, you may not be able to continue the Military Commander System."

　　"Military Commander System... You know this?" Ryota was slightly surprised.

　　But he suddenly remembered that Kurumi seemed to know Ming Hong, so it was no surprise.

　　What matters is not how much she knows. Otherwise, how did she know this information?

　　"I found out from somewhere else." Kurumi replied.

　　Ryota: "..."

　　He shot himself in the leg. The girl in front of him actually took what he just said as an excuse.

　　Kurumi continued: "As for the description that time is running out, I presume it refers to [Red Advent]. Since the appearance of the [Red Advent], the frequency and scale of its appearances have gradually increased. If the source is not found and dealt with as soon as possible, the world will be completely chaotic in the future, and only psykers can survive. You don't have much time left. "

　　"But this is the business of all humanity, right?"

　　Ryota's doubts didn't disappear: "It's useless to tell me yourself."

　　"No! Succeed." Kurumi suddenly said firmly.

　　Ryota was surprised, and asked: "Why do you think so?"

　　"Intuition."

　　"..."

　　Ryota showed helplessness and said: "Tokisaki, can you stop talking like me?"

　　"But this is my answer."

　　Seeing Ryota's hesitant expression to speak, Kurumi frowned again. But after realizing that she was laughing, she froze again.

　　It seemed that she had not been this happy for a long time.

　　"Forget it, let me ask directly."

　　Ryota stopped the investigation process step by step, and immediately threw out his guesses:

　　"You are from the future, right? We've fought together in the future, so you know me? And the person telling that story is the future me, right? In the future, because of despair, there will be great changes, so I sent his friend, that is, you, to let you go back in time and come to warn me, right?"

　　"..."

　　After listening to Ryota's conjecture, Kurumi was stunned. Then she burst out laughing, and covered the corner of her mouth with her hand, trying to maintain the graceful posture of a woman.

　　"Am I wrong?" Ryota asked slightly dissatisfied.

　　To be honest, he was quite satisfied with his guess.

　　As a result, Kurumi laughed it off.

　　"Sorry, because what you said was very funny."

　　Kurumi adjusted her expression and attitude slightly, and asked:

　　"If your guess is correct, do you think that the me in front of you now has returned from the future, or am I at the right time?"

　　"You know me, and you know about conveying words."

　　Ryota said seriously: "So you came back from the future."

　　"Pffft..."

　　"Hello!"

　　"Ah, sorry…"

　　Kurumi stopped smiling and complained slightly: "But why do you always make me laugh..."
