Kurumi after using Zafkeil, and the twelfth bullet, Yud Bet had ended up in the middle of Tengu City in the middle of the night. Kurumi and despite travelling back to thrity years ago, Tengu City looks the same in the night as it has looked in the present. Wait, she thought to herself, why didn't I go back to the time she was first summoned, why am I not in the China, Mongolia border and instead Tengu City. Kurumi was super confused about why this was the case. Kurumi then saw news about the Great Kanto Spacequake and realized that Shido's powers were not enough to get her far back in time to before the Spirit of Origin was summoned and this made her scream with anger. Why this and not the preferred time she wanted to get to. Why did she end up here. She wanted to go back to when the first spirit was summoned so the disasters that had befallen upon the world would never occur and she would not have to kill innocent people including her friend and be turned into a spirit by Mio herself.
Suddenly, Kurumi then saw a young man who looks exactly like Shido run with a young girl with long pale blue hair like Ms. Murasame wearing a hoodie and shorts running through the streets in the far distance. When she saw the man who looked like Shido, she thought to herself, Wait, what's Shido doing here? Shido died in the present, why is he in the past with this girl. This made Kurumi even more confused, but reality is stranger than fiction though.
However, a group of men with some cars blocked their path and Westcott was also there with his sinister sneer. Kurumi then watched what was happening and realized that the whole situation must involve this girl.
Westcott then says with a sneer, "We have your sister Mana"
Kurumi when hearing this was even more confused. Mana?, what is she even doing here in the past too. Mana was the biological sister of Shido in the present and the girl who killed multiple clones of her for DEM. Why would she be in the past too, has Kurumi ended up in an alternate timeline or something. This could explain why she was with DEM in the first place.
The girl then said with a serious and stern face, "if I agree to go with you, will you let go of Mana?"
Westcott with a malicious face replied, "Sure"
The man who looked like Shido then looked at the girl and begged "No"
The girl then replied with a sad smile, "It's Okay, I was never supposed to be in a place like this in the beginning." and she then continued with an even sadder smile, "And I while it lasted, you made me happier than I couldn't imagine."
This made the man who looks like Shido gasp, Kurumi on the other hand believed that this girl could be very important and her relationship. The girl then sadly walked towards Westcott and his goons, but the man who looks like Shido was clenching his fists with rage and he then muttered bitterly, "I can't let things end like this." and he then turned to Mio and he then snarled, "I WON'T LET IT!" and he grabbed the hand of the girl who looked at him as she saw him run to her with a face of shock and they the both ran away together. The girl was confused and shocked.
"SHIN WHAT ARE YOU...?"
Wait, Kurumi thought to herself, His name is Shin. Is this woman Miss Murasame, because Miss Murasame called Shido Shin in the present. This scene and the past are now even more confusing to Kurumi. If this was her past, then this man who looks exactly like Shido is probably her past lover, Shin.
"DO YOU REALLY THINK HE'LL LIVE UP TO HIS PROMISE!?" yelled the guy who looks like Shido named Shin, "HE'LL KILL MANA THE VERY MOMENT HE HAS HIS HANDS ON YOU!"
The girl then asked, "WHY TAKE ME!?"
"WE HAVE LEVERAGE WITH YOU HERE!" Shinji yelled, "SO HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO MANA W...!"
Shin was unable to continue his sentence when a bullet went through his chest and his eyes were wide and blank as his heart stopped pumping. The girl who looked like Miss Murasame, then watched with horror at the sight of Shin, her lover dying right before her eyes. Kurumi had also witnessed the horror of Shin, dying right before her eyes too and it made her shocked. The blood of Shin came out of his body as if it was the last droplets of ketchup being squeezed out of a bottle and Shin himself flopped down on the ground as if he was a marionette falling down after all the strings that kept it moving and functioning were all cut by sheers. Kurumi was shocked to see this, but she then saw Westcott with a smoking gun in his hand and realized that he was the murderer and that he needed to die so she can save Shin.
The girl then fell to her knees and she then said scared and fearful "Shin."
Westcott and his goons had arrived and Westcott then irritably said, "I had every intention of upholding my end of our agreement." Kurumi hearing Westcott say that knew that he wouldn't have done such a thing. There's no way that man would have honored his agreement, She thought to herself, But why did he kill that guy who looks like Shido and what's so important about this girl?
The girl then rolled Shinji over and saw his dying face as he gasped for his dear life seeing the girl with his eyes. The girl was mortified at the corpse of Shin. Kurumi when seeing this started remembering seeing Sawa's corpse for the first time and how distraught and mortified she was. The girl then made a scream of sorrow and anger and it then caused a spacequake that pushed away Issac and his goons who fled the scene and Kurumi had also left. Kurumi after witnessing the events play out then moved out of the way quickly to avoid dying. This made Kurumi remember herself going inverse mode after losing Sawa and being betrayed by Mio which she stopped by using the fourth bullet.
Kurumi had then realized that this was Mio, the first spirit and she caused all of these tragedies and created the spirits, because she probably wanted revenge against the world for the loss of Shinji, someone who cared for her and loved her dearly. Kurumi felt that way after she found out she killed Sawa whom was a great friend to her. Later on, after the devastation, Kurumi saw Mio crying over Shinji's corpse. Kurumi then believed that Mio caused the devastation she caused because she lost him. The same way she committed the sins she committed. Kurumi then decided to use Zafkeil and go back in time a few minutes before the killing of Shinji and kill Westcott.
Kurumi grabbed her flintlock and she then aimed it at herself as she then used the twelfth bullet on herself to go back thirty minutes in time to undo the death of Shinji and prevent Mio from suffering Hell.
Thirty minutes ago
Kurumi after going back in time 30 minutes before Shinji's death went back to the same scenario that had occurred before which was the time Westcott and his goons confronted Shinji and Mio. She then flew up to the top of a building where she oversaw the whole confrontation.
Westcott then says with a sneer, "We have your sister Mana"
Kurumi then grabbed her flintlock and she then aimed it at the man himself as she believed that it would save Shinji from death. Mio was about to say what she was about to say, but Kurumi fired the gun and the bullet had hit Issac in the head and Issac had fallen down on the ground as if he had suddenly become a lifeless doll. The death of Westcott freaked out Shinji and Mio, who then screamed. Mio was so panicky and scared that she ran into Shinji's arms like a scared child.
The thugs then saw Kurumi with a smoking gun and they started firing at her, but she killed one of them. The other thug started calling for backup to fight Kurumi, but Kurumi killed him. This incident and Kurumi freaked out Shinji and Mio who witnessed the gang fight.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled Shinji and he then looked at Mio, "LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
Shinji then grabbed Mio's arm and the two then ran away from the chaos. Kurumi then saw them and she then chased them. Unfortunately, her time had run out and she was now being teleported to the present.
