Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

The English on the diary pages was crooked and blurry. Li Mo spent a long time comparing them, barely able to make out the words.

[Today is the seventh anniversary of us wandering together... Oh no, I mean, of us working hard to live together.]

[I saved up three months' allowance to buy him a game console. What brand was it again? I forgot, but the brand doesn't matter, he was very happy. Note: Next time, I can buy him something better.]

"Is this a diary left behind by a student from St. Freya... 2012? The current time in this world should be 2014. Two years ago. The owner of the diary and the person being described aren't mentioned."

"It seems to be all meaningless information."

Li Mo opened the second page, repeating the process of clearing away the dust.

[That guy is slacking off again. Every training session, he runs two laps less. If he doesn't train his body properly, what will he do when he faces the Honkai beasts in the future?]

[Hmph, whatever. This missy will be generous and run a few extra laps as extra training. It's to become a Valkyrie sooner, and not because I want to accompany this lazy guy.]

[Why is that guy so slow? I've already run three extra laps, and he still has one and a half to go. Mei was even calling for me to go back and eat...]

[Ugh… I'll just consider this repayment for the present that he gave me for Children's Day.]

[--2014.06.12]

"This missy"... plus that way of speaking, and Mei calling her back to eat.

"This year? Then why does it look so old?"

"The owner of the diary is Kiana, then who is the 'he' in the diary?"

"It seems like Kiana and 'he' were close during this time, so why is Bizarre Kiana targeting me?"

"Shouldn't she be going after 'him' instead?"

Li Mo thought a lot in a short amount of time. One possibility was emerging, the most likely one.

The "he" in Kiana's diary was the person lying in the black coffin, who looked exactly like him.

But the problem was, bizarre entities don't just target people based on their looks. If he simply looked like the corpse in the coffin, then there wouldn't be any reason for Bizarre Kiana from this world to target him.

Li Mo couldn't figure it out, but the good news was that these diary entries seemed to have been left behind by Kiana before she became a bizarre entity.

Based on the content of the diary, Li Mo could try to deduce why an originally lively and cheerful girl became a bizarre entity.

Li Mo opened the third page, carefully examining it.

[I returned to my old home. He was waiting for me there.]

[He made me a curry rice that was very familiar. I couldn't taste what it was like anymore, so I just gave a casual answer about the taste.]

[He seems to be very sad... but I can't comfort him like I used to.]

[I can't ruin his life anymore.]

[I hope he lives on.]

[--2017.01.21]

"I?"

Li Mo noticed the change in self-address. This meant that the incident should have happened by this time. Himeko-sensei gave Kiana her last lesson.

That was why she would say she was returning to her old home. It should be that Kiana, who was once again wandering, was returning to the small home where she used to be with him.

"But Kiana wouldn't stop. It's very likely that she just wanted to come back to see it. She's not the kind of person who would linger in the past."

"And the 'he' in the diary should have a close relationship with Kiana. But based on the current information, Kiana would become the Herrscher of the End. 'He' is just a normal person who isn't very strong. The two would only grow further and further apart and then go their separate ways, each pursuing a new life."

"Kiana didn't know that she would go so far, so the end result must be that 'he' would be ignored. It's difficult for people from different worlds to be together."

The stories of people from different classes getting together in movies and TV shows often didn't have a sequel.

If people forced it, the audience would know what the real ending should look like.

If a story is truly realistic, then the story would absolutely not be perfect. There would definitely be something that made people feel bad.

Li Mo analyzed calmly. Based on the clues he had gotten so far, he hadn't found any traces of the bizarre. Not even a single trace.

The truth was becoming more and more elusive, confusing people.

"The last one." Li Mo stared intently at the last diary page, which had a noticeable tear.

Li Mo slowly opened it. The moment he saw the content, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"How...how can it be this situation?"

"This...?"

The content on the diary caused even Li Mo's deadpan face to show a look of confusion.

[--2028.01.01]

[--2228.01.01]

[--5028.01.01]

[--10000.01.01]

[--100000.01.01]

[...]

"Damn it...!"

Li Mo frantically pulled out his pistol, completely disregarding how many bullets were left, and poured all his firepower onto the last diary page.

"Zzzzt... Zzzzt..."

The blue-purple flames blazed, burning the last diary page to ashes.

The bullets from this pistol didn't have flames, but if the target had traces of the bizarre, it would ignite blue-purple suppression flames.

Everything now indicated that there was indeed power from the bizarre entity on it.

A worn-out diary page, almost falling apart, that only recorded a time was already illogical.

That wasn't enough for Li Mo to panic and fire his gun.

The time at the beginning was suddenly jumping, yes, jumping.

Numbers that shouldn't have changed were like a bizarre entity that triggered a rule and started spinning endlessly.

Each passing second, the time span that it jumped was longer and longer.

The last date that Li Mo saw was 1000000.01.01, which was about one million years away from the first recorded date.

Kiana couldn't have lived to that time, but Bizarre Kiana could.

That meant that the last entry wasn't written by Kiana, but by Bizarre Kiana.

And by Bizarre Kiana a million years into the future.

She deliberately left the medium in a normal clue, waiting for someone to open it, to bring about a nightmare.

"Just what is going on... The times recorded in the diary are clearly not the present. They are the past, present, and future. That means the time of this world has been artificially altered."

"The only person in this world who can alter time is the Herrscher of the End, Kiana."

"But Kiana couldn't have done that, nor could she have become a bizarre entity and then the Herrscher of the Finality. So Kiana first became the Herrscher of the Finality and then got contaminated by the bizarre, becoming Bizarre Kiana."

"What is she trying to accomplish by altering the time of this world, manipulating time from a million years in the future or even further to return to this time... Is that even possible? This isn't even in the scope of the Herrscher of the Finality's time powers. It's more like the bizarre entity's ability to reset space and time. Or even both…."

"The bizarre entity's reset of time and space plus the Herrscher of the Finality's power to loop time... It's a completely unsolvable existence."

"And the last page of the diary was left by Bizarre Kiana. It was a carefully laid trap."

Li Mo's thoughts became bolder and bolder, and now he truly realized how terrifying Kiana, who was being contaminated by the bizarre, was.

It was difficult to prove this theory, but if it were true, Bizarre Kiana's ability to control time and space would be far beyond his imagination.

"...I have to leave this place quickly."

Li Mo threw down the diary page, picked up the cabinet full of medicine, and ran outside.

He was certain that Kiana had almost touched him just now. Because he had touched the diary page, Kiana could use that medium to come to his spacetime.

That was why Li Mo had immediately pulled out his gun and physically destroyed the last diary page, taking such great pains to do so.

He had been so close to Bizarre Kiana just now... If Li Mo had waited for the diary to show the time where Bizarre Kiana was, then Bizarre Kiana would have ignored the barriers of spacetime and come directly to Li Mo through the medium.

Faced with an ultimate bizarre entity that could even control time and space, even with Li Mo's ability to reset, he wouldn't dare to try to confront her.

Right after Li Mo stepped out of the infirmary, the content on the diary pages stopped being black text. Instead, they became blood gushing out, a bright crimson red.

In the fountain of blood, a slender, pale hand tried to emerge.

The date on the diary kept decreasing from a million years later, and Bizarre Kiana's hand had already emerged halfway. Not long after, Bizarre Kiana's head arrived in reality...

Her bare shoulders were exposed, and her flawless collarbone and chest, like white jade, were also emerging from the fountain of blood.

The date continued to decrease, eventually returning to the date recorded on the first page, "--2012.07.09"
