Seeing Homura Akemi lost in thought, Miyu next to her asked a question.
"."
Homura Akemi snapped out of her daze, looked around, and felt a tidal wave of emotions surging within her.
Recalling Subaru Natsuki's calm expression as he faced death, she couldn't remain composed for a moment.
"Miyu, this time, the Master should make sure the opponent doesn't die, right?"
"Hmm, it's that reminder mixed in with the knowledge being transmitted to us. What's wrong?"
"No, I think I understand what that means."
Even Homura Akemi, who possesses the ability to "rewind," now knows that secret.
The Master named "Natsuki Subaru"
That's the core of that intelligence!
Kill him, and time will rewind.
“Archer, Caster doesn’t seem to be following us anymore.”
Miyu didn't know why Homura Akemi had stopped, but she only glanced behind her and didn't see the figure chasing after her before speaking.
"She won't come after us. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll make contact with Lancer's team next."
"?"
Hearing Homura Akemi's confident tone, Miyu didn't react for a moment.
She had sensed that Homura Akemi was acting a little strange.
"It might sound unbelievable, but just now..."
"Time has reversed, right?"
Just as Homura Akemi was about to explain, a familiar voice interrupted her.
Subaru Natsuki, who appeared from around the corner carrying Son Goku, approached the two of them with a very serious expression.
"You do indeed possess memories from before your return."
"Hey, I didn't really want to die, but it was the only way at the time."
"I figured you wouldn't reveal your hand willingly, so I had no choice."
"So you deliberately provoked my murderous intent and induced me to kill you by rewinding time."
Having been tricked by the young man in front of her, Homura Akemi understood the cause and effect.
"??"
"what are you guys saying?"
Miyu and Son Goku were completely baffled, having no idea why the two were communicating in this way.
"Wasn't the outcome good? The town wasn't destroyed, and no one died."
"The future of Wukong becoming a giant ape can be easily changed."
Hearing Subaru's relieved tone, Homura Akemi fell silent.
To everyone's surprise, the other party was also an anomaly capable of "returning to the past".
"I think I know what your wish is."
"If it were Dragon Ball, changing Madoka Kaname's fate—before she became a god—should have been possible."
"After all, you just wanted to prevent her from agreeing to become a magical girl like Kyubey, didn't you?"
Homura Akemi's pupils were dart around; she hadn't expected that this guy would even know about "Madoka."
But there were a few words that really bothered her.
To become a god?
Madoka?
"What the hell do you know?!"
Without remaining silent, Homura Akemi spoke in a cold tone.
This time, she did not choose to run away with Miyu.
With Sun Wukong's abilities, there was absolutely no way he could escape.
Having witnessed the terrifying nature of this child before returning, Homura Akemi has come to terms with reality.
"Hmm, you don't need to look at me with such hostility."
"I just wanted to say that, if possible, the two groups could actually form an alliance."
"Do you think that's possible? Even if we win in the end, we'll still be overwhelmed by his unparalleled power."
Upon hearing Subaru Natsuki's blunt words, Homura Akemi bluntly exposed him while pointing a finger at Goku.
"I?"
Little Goku looked at Homura Akemi with a puzzled expression, wondering why she was pointing at him.
No, you've misunderstood.
"I'm serious about forming an alliance. I'm not playing any tricks. My wish and Goku's wish might even be fulfilled without the Dragon Balls."
"Alright, let me explain properly."
Covering his face, Natsuki Subaru realized that his previous statement had caused ambiguity, and quickly explained.
"First of all, why was this war organized with a Master-Servant pairing? Haven't you ever wondered about that?"
"Even if the two players in a team win in the end, what will happen if they get seven Dragon Balls?"
Subaru's words stunned Miyu and Homura Akemi.
Miyu and Homura Akemi had vaguely considered this matter before.
The worst outcome would be a bloodbath between the master and the servant.
After all, when making a wish, the Master and the Servant will definitely not have the same wish.
Disagreements lead to conflict, and conflict leads to brutal slaughter, even among those who were originally fighting side by side.
Unless one party is willing to give in, but that would be too risky for the Servant, since as long as the Command Seals exist, the Master has absolute priority.
Therefore, there is a very high probability that the Servant will restrict or kill the Master the moment they obtain the seven Dragon Balls.
“You may not have read the Dragon Ball manga, but in terms of its setting, it shouldn’t be that stingy.”
"In fact, the number of times you can make a wish with the Dragon Balls varies depending on the god who created them."
You understand what I mean, right?
However, what Subaru said next greatly shocked Miyu and Homura Akemi.
The Dragon Balls, which can grant any wish, might not be usable only once?
"So I initially suspected that the guy who collected all seven Dragon Balls in this war would be able to grant the Servant the right to make a wish once."
"This is the best solution. Otherwise, it would be a bit too much to go through all that trouble to win and then have to outwit and outfight the Master and the Servant."
"Unless it's some kind of evil god, a normal god shouldn't be that harsh and cruel."
"But even an evil god couldn't create this thing."
Hearing this, Homura Akemi and Miyu understood what Subaru Natsuki was trying to say.
If this speculation is true, then it seems like it wouldn't be a bad deal for each group to get one wish after the alliance wins.
"However, this is just my guess. Perhaps there aren't two wishes. The choice is up to you."
With his hands outstretched, Subaru Natsuki didn't press him for anything.
"."
"."
Upon hearing this, Miyu and Homura Akemi exchanged glances but did not rush to agree.
"Saber, what happened?"
"Returned suddenly."
Kira Yoshikage was choosing his lunch when he glanced at the spirit-like Servant behind him and asked.
"Something not so good has happened."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment before speaking.
Time has reversed.
He has returned to the timeline before Yoshikage Kira was killed.
Although he didn't know how Yoshikage Kira died, he would absolutely not allow himself to be careless this time.
"Time seems to have reversed once, but it doesn't seem to have been caused by Bites the Dust."
"You know what?"
