Kurumi has black hair tied into twintails. Her hair is parted on the left side of her forehead, her left eye is covered by flowing hair, her right eye is bright and beautiful with red eyes.
Her beautiful face is not the oval face type that internet celebrities have with pointed chins and plastic surgery, but rather healthy and round. And the places that should be round are indeed round. At a glance, one can tell that it is perfect. A very healthy face that has never undergone surgery or photoshop.
The girl's uniform worn by Aoba High School clearly outlines the girl's perfect figure. Her plump shape far exceeds her classmates, making people wonder if she is a 16-year-old girl.
As the eldest daughter of the Tokisaki Consortium, Kurumi has received the best education since she was a child. She is the type of comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness. Naturally, she is also perfect in terms of cultivation and etiquette.
Standing in front of Lux, with a polite and dignified smile on her face, she exudes a friendly temperament. She stands there with her hands in front of her, with the posture of a dignified young woman.
From the perspective of appearance, Kurumi is truly perfect. She is the ideal wife candidate for many men. She is rich, beautiful, educated, and has an outstanding temperament.
In fact, Kurumi is engaged to Lux because he saw Kurumi's clip when he was browsing videos on Google before time travel, so he just typed "Kurumi is my waifu."
Well, otakus have many 2D waifus, just for fun, can't take it seriously.
But the world consciousness in this world doesn't understand this!
After Lux accepts the contract in his sleep and is pulled into this Anime World, as part of the reward paid to him, the world consciousness uses a lot of fantasy power to forcibly change reality.
Besides Lux's current superior life, he is also given a fiancée, Tokisaki Kurumi!
The actual background of this modification is that Lux's parents and Kurumi's parents are close friends, so when Lux and Kurumi were children, they made a marriage contract.
Although modern society keeps talking about freedom of marriage and leaving behind the bad habits of the past, in fact, many things are still preserved. It's no wonder that such an invalid marriage contract was made for two children.
After all, the Tokisaki family accepted this arrangement, and under the standard starting point of the 'Lux's parents died' orphanage setting, they didn't think about breaking off the engagement.
Lux was very silent when he learned about it. At that time, he was filled with memories of the disaster caused by the mystery phenomenon all over the world because the world consciousness didn't understand human thoughts, and he was in a very unstable mental state.
When Lux was invited by the Tokisaki family to have dinner at their house, he was very annoyed and felt that it was just a waste of time.
This is very annoying.
The accumulation of extreme negative emotions and mental instability caused Lux to have no sense of identification with this family.
However, the background given by the world consciousness, coupled with his nature as an otaku before time travel, made him still want to meet the real Kurumi.
How to say it…
There is no excitement, no tension, no surprise, just innocence and the thought 'Oh, this is Tokisaki Kurumi'.
Although Kurumi is beautiful and charming like in anime, Lux is not in the mood to appreciate such beauty at that time.
Instead, he also sees hesitation, confusion, strangeness, curiosity, and other things from the Tokisaki family.
After all, a setting is a setting, and human emotions cannot be created just like that. Even if the Tokisaki family accepts someone, it's a setting that is forcibly given by twisting reality.
This is also quite embarrassing for both parties who have no emotional basis.
Thinking that he will be very busy in the future to solve the mystery disaster, Lux has no intention of trying to maintain the relationship, so he just takes advantage of the situation and makes a request to end the engagement.
After being surprised, the Tokisaki family calmly accepted the request, and both parties formally signed the marriage contract – again, which has no emotional basis.
What the world consciousness gives to Lux out of goodwill and gratitude is always incomprehensible to the human heart, so it explodes like a dream bubble.
❀❀❀
On the other hand, Kurumi's eyes move slightly when she hears Lux's polite question, then she continues to nod politely and while thinking: "I've eaten. Thank you for your concern. Lux-kun, you are still so gentle."
Lux: "Sorry. This is not gentle."
Kurumi: "Hehe, then, Artoria-san is not here today, may I take a walk with you?"
Lux: "If you don't mind the rumor that 'Tokisaki Ojou-sama is with a man and suspected of dating' in the future, then there's nothing wrong with me."
Hearing this, Kurumi covers her mouth and chuckles: "Ara ara. Do you think such a rumor will bother me, Lux-kun? Or are you afraid of causing misunderstandings on Artoria-san's side?"
Lux spreads his hands: "I've told you, I'm actually not related to Artoria. However, Kurumi, you seem to be not as generous as you look regarding my decision to end our engagement."
These words are considered thorny, but Kurumi doesn't seem to mind. She smiles sweetly and charmingly and gently strokes her hair beside her ear and says, "After all, this is the first time for me. Even though I was ready to spend the rest of my life with a man I've never met before, that man immediately broke off the engagement when he first came to my house."
"As a girl, I'm a little angry and want to be stubborn. It's reasonable to have an unpleasant conversation with this hateful man, isn't it?"
Lux glances at Kurumi: "As expected of the eldest daughter of the Tokisaki Consortium, she can say straightforward words with a smile on her face without blushing, but I have to say, I really underestimated you. You are much better than I thought."
Hearing this, Kurumi raises her right hand and puts her index finger to her lips: "Ara ara~ After saying these words, does the charming prince regret breaking off his engagement with this little girl?"
Lux also smiles without hesitation, and his eerie smile becomes even more obvious: "No, I never regretted it. After all, an engagement without an emotional basis will only cause trouble. For me, time is very precious, and it's really useless to spend it on 'small things'."
Kurumi finally experiences some emotional changes, her expression freezes slightly, then she pretends not to mind and smiles and says: "Oh~ It turns out that in Lux-kun's eyes, your engagement to me, cultivating and maintaining a relationship with me, is just a waste of time. I have to say, Lux-kun is really a heartless man."
Lux's smile doesn't change, and he nods: "In terms of maintaining relationships between human beings, I am indeed very heartless. I apologize for being such a person now and making you feel distressed and angry, but there's nothing I can do, because I don't regret it, so I apologize."
Kurumi stares at him deeply, then her smile remains unchanged, and she nods politely and says: "I understand, there are some things that cannot be forced. It's because I'm too attached."
The conversation between the two parties is very polite from beginning to end, and at the same time, it's very contradictory to each other, but it gives people the impression that they have a very good relationship, and there is nothing hypocritical or wrong in the conversation. Even the most 'annoying' words. This also directly tells the truth, it is an expression of what is 'real', it is very contradictory.
Then, Kurumi changes the topic to another aspect.
"What does Lux-kun think about the light screen that has appeared in the last two days? I mean, Artoria who appeared on the light screen, do you think they are the same person?"
When Lux hears this, he pretends not to know: "Why do you say that? Do you think King Arthur is Lia?"
Kurumi tilts her head slightly: "How to say it? Although their personalities are very different, the King Arthur on the light screen gives me the feeling that she is Artoria-san who has grown up after achieving perfect enhancement."
After a pause, she adds, "It's just that she is King Arthur, an ancient human who lived over 1,600 years ago, and Arturia is a modern human, and the King Arthur on the light screen is clearly a heroic spirit. Of course, there is a possibility that Artoria-san has been reincarnated."
"Well, to be honest, I'm a little confused. I even doubt if the real world is also wrong."
(PS: King Arthur is generally believed to have lived around the 4th or 5th century AD, and this book is set in the 4th century AD.)
After Lux listens to Kurumi's words calmly, he smiles and says, "You don't need to think too much about these things. I think because the light screen will be revealed, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. Besides, compared to this so-called truth, you are actually more concerned about the extraordinary power on the light screen, aren't you?"
"Are you envious of King Arthur, who is exactly like Lia? Her extraordinary power makes you yearn for it, doesn't it?"
"..."
Kurumi is silent for a moment after hearing this, then smiles: "Lux-kun is really amazing at being insightful. My thoughts can't really escape your eyes. However, that kind of extraordinary power, as a human being, it's natural to have passion and yearning, right?"
"Although I am the eldest daughter of the Tokisaki Consortium, I am still an ordinary human being. Facing such extraordinary and mysterious things that are currently harming the whole world, I want it."
"Don't you yearn for extraordinary things?"
Lux doesn't answer, but says meaningfully: "Indeed, human instinct has a yearning for extraordinary things, and also the instinct of living beings to pursue power. Having such desires is a good thing."
"So, Kurumi, maintain your desire! Maybe, you also have the opportunity to have extraordinary power in the future."
When Kurumi hears this, she raises her eyebrows slightly, then smiles: "If this is a blessing, then I will indeed accept it, I'm also looking forward to such a day! If I really have extraordinary power, the first thing I will do is tie Lux-kun up, and then tell you that my charm is no worse than Artoria-san!"
At the end of the sentence, her smile turns into a little devilish smile.
Lux: "Wow, that's really a domineering approach! Then I will look forward to that day."
Kurumi smiles charmingly, then bows slightly, politely says goodbye and leaves. From beginning to end, she fully maintains the etiquette and upbringing expected of a young woman from a prominent family.
In Lux's eyes, the color of the cloud above Kurumi's head that shows her level of liking has changed from yellow to green.
This means that Kurumi's liking is enough to become an operator of Lux's equipment like Artoria.
