"Meow?"

Upon hearing this, Meow-chan immediately showed a guilty expression.

However, it still candidly explained,

"Well, it's because when the Evil God invaded at first, I fought Him once..."

"You even fought Him? How did it turn out?"

"Hehe, complete defeat, meow. I ran back here with my tail between my legs..."

"..."

This kind of expected answer, Yan Huan shouldn't have asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that, meow?! I'm telling you, it's precisely because I lost that I was able to save you today, meow!"

"Huh? What kind of logic is that?"

Meow-chan, not at all embarrassed, proudly explained,

"Heh heh, it's because I got beaten up by Him before and my main body got injured, so if I consumed fragments in advance, those fragments would be used to repair my main body, meow!

"I thought that at a critical moment I might need my incarnation to help, so I stored those fragments without absorbing them... am I far-sighted or what, meow?"

Yan Huan stared blankly at the Meow-chan in front of him, who was proudly raising its head. After a long silence, he pointedly said,

"Isn't there a possibility that if you had won, He wouldn't have invaded at all?

"And then, there would be no modifier host, nor would there have been the disaster today where we almost fell to our deaths?"

Hearing this, Meow-chan was dumbfounded by Yan Huan's question.

It stared blankly at Yan Huan before suddenly turning its head and said,

"Besides that, there's another bigger problem, meow."

"Your topic shift is way too stiff..."

While Yan Huan was complaining, Meow-chan turned to look back at Yan Huan, playfully asking,

"Now that you've done this to An Le, how will you face Spencer, Sakuragi Hitomi, and Tong Yingying afterwards?"

At this moment, Yan Huan's expression stiffened suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow a bit.

"Will you deny them after putting on your pants? Or... will you from now on keep a clear distinction in your heart between yourself and other women?"

"..."

Yan Huan remained silent for a long time, then gradually withdrew his gaze from Meow-chan.

Seeing him stuck for an answer, Meow-chan licked its paw, unhurriedly said,

"No need to rush the answer, meow, you can..."

"No, I should... give an answer immediately."

Meow-chan, licking its paw, paused slightly, looking at Yan Huan in front of it.

As Yan Huan gazed at the calm sea, he frowned, thought through, and said,

"Regarding An Le earlier, it was because I was indecisive that it became such a serious situation..."

"Indeed, meow... What's in front of you now are two paths."

Meow-chan nodded, agreeing with Yan Huan's view,

"Either you wrong their feelings, meow. Cut off all the existing relationships cleanly and choose An Le alone; or..."

Meow-chan didn't finish its sentence but left it at that.

Yet Yan Huan already understood its meaning.

"Ah..."

At that moment, the sea breeze was as usual, and the moonlight was soft.

Yan Huan slightly frowned but inevitably turned back to look at the wooden house behind him.

In that cozy wooden house, that cute girl was looking at him.

In her sleep, she slightly opened her mouth, seeming to have an unsettling dream,

"Xiao... Xiao Huan..."

Listening to her gentle murmur, Yan Huan lowered his eyes, gently reached into the warm bedding, and held her hand.

Feeling her body warmth, Yan Huan closed his eyes.

Unconsciously, the scene of sleeping together with Spencer recalled to his mind.

Next was the sense of safety pouring his heart out in Tong Yingying's embrace.

Lastly...

Was the heart-pounding moment upon receiving Sakuragi Hitomi's birthday gift for the first time.

"..."

The more he thought, the more conflicted Yan Huan's expression became, as if he already foresaw the pain of breaking away from them.

After a long, long silence, with Meow-chan sitting gracefully beside him starting to yawn, Yan Huan finally opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed to burn with a deep flame, but his voice was so low,

"Meow-chan... to solve the modifier, we need to have all the hosts renounce it simultaneously, right?"

"Indeed, meow... and as I said from the beginning, using the modifier to drive a wedge is infeasible..."

Meow-chan nodded, looking at An Le,

"An Le thought that by doing so, she could easily accomplish what we couldn't for so long... little did she know that it was like adding fuel to the fire, ultimately returning to the starting point..."

But at this moment, Yan Huan wasn't discussing the solution to the modifier per se.

Upon hearing this, he suddenly turned back to Meow-chan, firmly said word by word,

"So... I will save all of them."

"Meow?"

Meow-chan blinked its eyes, then immediately realized his intention.

It waggled its tail, helplessly yawned again,

"Truly a greedy man, meow~"

"..."

"Once started, there's no turning back, meow. This choice might bring even greater risks in the future!"

Yan Huan didn't speak but merely tightened his grip on An Le's hand in the bedding.

After a long while, he finally said,

"I know."

"Meow~"

Cute Meow-chan waggled its tail, then sat gracefully outside the sliding door, looking at the tranquil sea,

"Then, let's hurry and have a good rest, enjoy the limited rest time, meow...

"After all, many challenges still await you in the days to come..."

Saying this, it suddenly turned back, looking at Yan Huan, playfully said,

"Oh no, await us, meow!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan chuckled, nodded, and gently closed the sliding door, shutting out the moonlight from outside.
