━━━━━━━━━
After a five-day journey through mountains and valleys, Avril and Banning finally returned to Ira Village.
They shared many hardships together, including a reunion that spanned life and death, a meal of unpalatable hyena meat under the starry sky, and a drink of sweet underground water. Each day was difficult, but upon arriving in Ira Village, their past struggles seemed like a fleeting moment.
Reminiscing about this time of shared hardship and caring for each other day and night, Avril felt a mixture of embarrassment, joy, and reluctance.
Although five days is not a long time, Avril and Banning’s emotional bond had surpassed that of five months of cohabitation.
Often, they didn’t need language to communicate, just a glance was enough to understand each other.
Furthermore, Elle had temporarily set aside her intention to kill Banning. The condition of this “temporary” truce was that it would last until Banning completed his “mission”
(Quote form chapter “Two Letters”).

Of course, if Elle were to discover that Banning had cheated on Avril or committed any other offense against her, he would face the same fate as before.
During this time, Avril did not mention her confession to Banning, nor did she allow Elle to bring it up. Just as Elle temporarily refrained from harming Banning, Avril wanted to wait until Banning had completed his mission before confirming her feelings for him. She hoped that before that day arrived, she would have grown into someone who could stand by Banning’s side in battle.
.
Upon their return to Ira Village, the first thing Avril and Banning did was to heal Granny Kana.
The sandrift flowers that Banning had collected were very effective, and after drinking two doses of the medicine, Granny Kana felt much better. The next morning, she was even able to get out of bed and walk.
Everyone in the village was happy about Granny Kana’s recovery, but they were also saddened by Rode’s unfortunate death. Every life on this prison planet was precious and fragile.
.
While the villagers were relieved by the return of the two young people, Tyler became increasingly anxious these days because the remaining time for “Confession Death Countdown” was running out.
This morning, Tyler saw that Granny Kana could walk, so he said goodbye to Avril and everyone else without even eating lunch and hurried to Sunnytown.
As of today, Tyler’s “Confession Death Countdown” had only 19 days left.
19 days may sound like a lot, but after deducting the 11 days it took to travel from Ira Village to Sunnytown, he only had 8 days left to conquer the next girl.
In the Earth world, 8 days would only be enough for him going out to eat and watch a movie with a girl for the first time.
Therefore, Tyler must put on a “life and death speed” performance this time…!
.
For Tyler, the distant Sunnytown is not a good destination if he wants to maximize his time.
Gudetown was originally a good option, but Tyler knows that Viviana and other members of the Scarlet family have recently gathered there.
Even if he put aside the matter of “pigeon blood,” Tyler would be courting death if he went to Gudetown to pursue other girls, knowing that Viviana is also in the same town.
As for why Viviana cannot be his next target, Tyler has two reasons:
First, although he has a bond with Viviana, it is not enough to bridge the gap between their identities and strengths.
Second, there are members of the Scarlet family in Gudetown, and in the worst case, Vivianal’s father may also be there.
In front of the old man’s eyes, if he were to act recklessly and get himself killed, Tyler would regret it.
Therefore, even if time is unusually tight, he can only go to Sunnytown.
.
When Tyler left the Sandrift Gorge, he accidentally “acquired” a warhorse.
This warhorse may not be the fastest among the Gudetown calvary, but it is definitely the smartest.
After its owner died, the horse had been wandering in the gorge, but when it met Tyler and Elle, it voluntarily followed them.
Tyler felt that the horse was destined for him, so he deliberately chose a gentle slope route and left Sandrift Gorge with it. Unexpectedly, the horse still refused to leave after gaining its freedom, so Tyler and Elle rode it back to Ira Village.
Now, Tyler is riding this horse on the dirt road, and with its help, the journey to Sunnytown can be shortened by more than half.
Without it, Tyler would have to risk going to Gudetown to test his luck.
To thank this horse for its contribution, Tyler gave it a name. “Let’s go, Moto-chan!”
.
The road is long, and the horse’s hooves clatter.
The journey of one person is sometimes lonely, but not for Tyler.
Because he still has a silly Nissen in his mind.
(Silly Nissen: Tyler, why didn’t-o you ask Avril to go to Sunnytown with you?)
(Tyler: Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?)
(Silly Nissen: Yes, I’m here to argue for Avril!)
The stupid loli knows Tyler quite well and can tell that he is avoiding Avril.
Even if Tyler is not going to pursue other girls this time in Sunnytown, he will still find a way to temporarily separate from Elle.
Tyler believes that he has been with Elle for too long this time. If they continue to stay together, an uncontrollable “accident” may happen.
(Tyler: I haven’t done anything.)
(Silly Nissen: Tsk, it’s precisely because you haven’t-o done anything that you’re a scumbag. Let-o me tell you, you’re behaving like a scumbag, stringing her along without-o clearly rejecting her!)
(Tyler: I can’t find a reason to reject her.)
(Silly Nissen: Oh? So you like Avril?)
(Tyler: …It’s ironic. Just because I don’t reject her, does that mean I like her?)
Tyler’s rhetorical question stumped the stupid loli.
She, a naive little idiot in love, couldn’t answer this philosophical question.
(Silly Nissen: So-so-so-so do you LIKE Avril OR NOT?!)
(Tyler: As a “dead man walking,” I can’t like anyone.)
Tyler’s words made the stupid loli silent.
“Dead man walking” refers to the fact that Tyler’s life is not his own.
Considering Tyler now as a “Deathbound”, to continue to live, and to continue upgrading the Divine Eye of Transcendence, he inevitably has to make more girls fall in love with him… and the more girls who like him, the harder it is for him to manage his “backyard.”
In fact, the stupid loli knows that Tyler could have simply rejected Avril and acted like a suave scumbag.
If he rejected her, he would not have any burdens on his conscience, and he would not have to consider Avril’s feelings anymore. However, Tyler chose the most difficult path in matters of the heart.
The stupid loli has seen Tyler’s decisive and resolute side, as well as his calmness in dangerous situations. Therefore, she cannot understand why he would choose to be a “stupid good person” in this matter of the heart.
After much deliberation, the silly stupid finally made a decision. She submitted a request to the “Omniscient Wisdom Repository” to investigate Tyler’s background.
