Episode 116: After overcoming a four-year cycle of reincarnation, it ends here!!
『 This made Saiki extremely depressed.
He had originally hoped that with nowhere to stay, everyone would turn back and go home.
But then, out of nowhere, a rich and powerful Saiko appeared and directly gave them a presidential suite to live in...
Later, Saiki stood up...
At this moment, the surroundings were pitch black.
And Reita Toritsuka and the others were already snoring, sleeping soundly!
Saiki felt a lot more relaxed. He glanced around.
" "Sigh, everyone's finally asleep... I can't believe they're already in their second year of high school, and these guys can still throw pillows for three hours." "
Saiki muttered to himself as he walked out of the room.
" "I've made them wait so long, I need to be quick..." "
Before his words faded, Saiki instantly teleported, whooshing out of the hotel!
When he reappeared, he was already in another hotel room!
As soon as he arrived, he heard two complaints.
"Finally here! You're so slow. What time is it, and you're still making us gather in a place like this!!"
"It's true, I'm so sleepy. I usually go to bed at ten."
Saiki, along with his two loyal comrades, Reita Toritsuka and Aiura Mikoto.
The psychic trio was now assembled and ready to go. 』

~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "The psychic organization in this world is really much better compared to before. They're directly teaming up to save the world." ]
[ Aki Tomoya (Saekano): "This is what defines a true anime protagonist—rallying their companions to save the world together.." ]
[ Kato Megumi (Saekano): "Really? That sounds incredible." ]
[ Saiki (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K): "..., relying on others' strength, huh." ] ...
[ .....]
『 Regarding the two's small grumbles, Saiki didn't say much, just a simple,
" "Alright, let's start the tactical discussion!" "
Saiki's domineering presence left Reita Toritsuka and the other a bit helpless.
After all, he was undeniably the leader of the trio. When he spoke, the other two could only obediently listen.
However, Aiura Mikoto still couldn't help but complain,
"And! Kusuo, it's one thing for you to call me out, but to make me stay alone with him in a hotel so late at night, that's super dangerous for me, okay!!"
As expected, staying up late didn't bother Aiura Mikoto at all.
What truly drove her crazy was having to spend the night alone with a weirdo!
Saiki calmly watched the two bickering and quickly interjected,
" "Calm down, do you remember why we came to Oshimai?" "
Reita Toritsuka and Aiura Mikoto immediately stopped arguing and nodded repeatedly.
Earlier, Saiki had explained the reason to them in detail, and both were shocked after hearing it.
Because...
They had no idea that Saiki had been secretly protecting this country all along!
At this point, the Saiki in the video continued to voice his thoughts.
" To prevent the unprecedented volcanic eruption, Saiki understood that simply blocking it wouldn't work; it would just erupt somewhere else. "
" So he decided to use Aiura's precognitive ability to pinpoint the next eruption location in advance, then create countless clones of himself using his duplication technique. "
" Finally, he would transfer the eruption point to the deep sea. "
Saiki sighed, saying with unusual seriousness,
"In short, time is pressing, and I need your help."
This time, he wasn't fighting alone!
He had allies with psychic abilities....
Of course, a certain psychic's abilities were basically negligible!
Hearing Saiki's words, smiles bloomed on both their faces, their eyes filled with determination.
They knew this operation was exceptionally significant.
"Hmm! Of course, no problem!"
Aiura Mikoto was full of fighting spirit; after all, she was the secondary attacker this time!
"Go for it!"
The background character, Reita Toritsuka, who could win even while lying down, quietly cheered.
And so, this rescue operation officially began!
The great human rescue operation has begun!
It will be carried out by this group of psychics! 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Excellent, the world-saving plan, begin execution!" ]
[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "Paimon, why are you getting so excited about a plan that isn't even yours?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Hehehe, doesn't this just make it feel more engaging?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Exactly, exactly." ]
[ Yuki Suou (Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings): "Hehehe, participating in another world-saving plan, that's such a good thing." ]
[ Masachika Kuze (Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings): "....." ]
[ Aki Tomoya (Saekano): "Let's start now!" ]
[ Saiki (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K): "..... (I'm not even excited, I don't understand why others are excited.....)" ]

『 And in the video... The camera shifted to a group of friends traveling in Oshimai.
"Yesterday's pillow fight was so much fun!"
Shun Kaidou said with a smile.
"Aren's three-hit pillow combo really caught me off guard!"
"Oh, no, no, Shun, your Dream Pillow Explosion was super amazing too,"
Aren replied, a bit embarrassed.
"You guys actually had a pillow fight?"
Hairo exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with curiosity.
"Yeah, right when you went to bed like a little pig at eight o'clock,"
Riki Nendou chimed in with a laugh.
At this moment, Shun Kaidou seemed to suddenly realize something was missing and asked with a puzzled expression,
"Hey, speaking of which, where's Saiki?"
"Uh... we don't know either..."
The others were naturally just as confused.
But not long after, they found Saiki enjoying breakfast in the restaurant, and everyone immediately gathered around to greet him.
"Yo~ Saiki, you're up early."
"By the way, did Saiki go out last night?"
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah, I feel like I haven't seen him in a while." 』
『 .....』
~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "They just saw him the day before. Why are these people saying they haven't seen him in a while?" ]
[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "Could it be, another result of psychic influence?" ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "That's nice." ]
[ .....]
『 It seemed as if their confusion was understood. Saiki's explanatory voice came from the screen.
" Toritsuka, your task is to pretend to be me. Tomorrow morning, impersonate me and meet up with Nendou and the others. Guide them and don't let them discover my situation here. "
" If something goes wrong and you're suspected, just say this.... Just say one line. "
As Saiki's voice echoed in the minds of everyone watching the video,
The Saiki (Reita Toritsuka) in the picture said awkwardly but politely,
"Oh dear, Oh my my my~"
As soon as these words came out, Nendou and the others' attention was immediately diverted. At Shun Kaidou's suggestion, everyone went to the buffet area to get food.
Toritsuka was also stunned. He had thought he would be exposed, but...
It really worked!
The viewers were also dumbfounded, completely unable to understand why Saiki (Reita Toritsuka) didn't make any disguise, yet others still treated him as Saiki.
" Toritsuka, remember, I've used hypnosis to make them see you as me. Don't reveal any flaws. "
Soon, this sentence also appeared in the audience's minds, making everyone realize.
But this only made them even more shocked! 』
『 .....』
~ Dimensional livestream, Chat Room ~
[ Aki Tomoya (Saekano): "The god-tier skill of anime, hypnosis!!!" ]
[ Eriri Eriri Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "Alright, Tomoya, don't go crazy here." ]
[ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Saekano): "Hehe, Tomoya-kun just loves doing things like this at times like these." ]
[ Hayate Ayasaki (Hayate the Combat Butler): "These otaku...." ]
[ Feng Baobao (The Outcast): "Is this what they mean by 'Otaku are disgusting'?" ]
[ Aki Tomoya (Saekano): "....." ]
[ .....]
『 The video continued to play.
The camera turned to Saiki and Aiura Mikoto.
Only this time, the Saiki next to Aiura Mikoto looked a bit strange.
Because...
His hair was curly!
"Speaking of which, is it really okay to have that idiot as a substitute, Curly-haired Kusuo?"
Aiura Mikoto asked with worry, having no confidence whatsoever in Reita Toritsuka's reliability.
" "Although he's an idiot, he's somewhat reliable in a pinch. It should be fine." "
The curly-haired version of Saiki answered calmly.
"By the way, if you need a substitute, why not one of you?"
Aiura Mikoto was still uneasy. Although she trusted Saiki deeply, she simply couldn't trust Reita Toritsuka's reliability.
" "No, that would be riskier." "
Curly-haired Saiki said.
Then, another character named Saiki jumped into the frame, but he looked so bizarre that this scene made everyone even more confused.
He had a pair of strange eyes and a mouth that was pursed up high!
" "Clones, you know, they're often unstable. It's quite dangerous for them to pop out in front of everyone." "
"Alright, Chin-down Guy,"
Aiura Mikoto sighed, saying helplessly.
" "And to stop those runaway clones, the more manpower, the better, so this is the right way to do it." "
Suddenly, another Saiki popped onto the screen, but this time, his voice sounded a bit airy.
"I know, I know, Bucktooth Guy."
Aiura Mikoto covered her face, a little speechless.
This time, the buck-toothed version of Saiki was fully exposed to the camera.
It must be said, this scene was visually impactful.
Viewers from across the universe, though mostly professionally trained and usually showing no emotion,
But sometimes, they just couldn't hold it in...
The appearance of Bucktooth Kusuo indeed made many people unable to hold back, and they all burst into laughter.
"Alright, since Bucktooth Kusuo says so, but I just have a feeling he's going to mess things up!"
In Aiura Mikoto's mind, the unreliable impression of Reita Toritsuka was simply etched in stone!
At this moment, all the friends watching the video heard Saiki's voice in their minds again.
" Aiura, the task is the same as last time. I want you to predict the location of the second and subsequent eruptions in advance. "
Then, the scene cut back to last night,
The psychic trio was in a heated discussion.
"In advance!? How is that possible in advance!! If I don't stop the first eruption, I won't be able to see the future beyond the second one,"
Aiura Mikoto said with an expression that seemed to say,
"You're deliberately making things difficult for me!"
" No, as long as there is a future where it's stopped, theoretically you should be able to foresee it. Tomorrow, I'll put my ten clones under your command to place them at the first eruption site. This way, the future will change. "
" Then, arrange one person at each predicted eruption point, and when arranging, remember to follow the order from closest to farthest from me. "
Everyone watching the video listened to Saiki's instructions in their minds while focusing intently on Aiura Mikoto's every move in the scene.
Aiura Mikoto on screen looked excited, nodding,
"Just as Kusuo said! I see it!! That Chin-jutting Kusuo, you stay here, we'll go to the next location."
The camera shifted, and time returned to the moment of Saiki's operation.
A Saiki with a protruding chin stood expressionlessly in place, while other versions of Kusuo instantly teleported away with Aiura Mikoto, disappearing without a trace....
"But Kusuo, what are you going to do during this time???"
With this question,
The scene moved to a scorching hot place.
Above a volcano with continuously churning hot magma, in the sky.
Saiki stood at a high vantage point, looking down at the volcano, then his figure suddenly vanished.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! Kusuo! Something's wrong! From the seventh eruption point onwards, the future vision is gone! And the path is different from last time, it's not going through the ocean!"
" It's okay, you all wait where you are. I've already reached the first eruption point. I'll handle the rest. "
On the screen, Saiki reappeared. Behind him, another clone of Saiki stood quietly in front of the familiar.
Assistant-Kusuo turned his head and said with a smile,
" "What do you mean 'I'll handle it'? It's the clones doing the work, isn't it?" "
Saiki replied expressionlessly,
" "Sorry, Assistant-Kusuo, if I get injured, all clones will be affected." "
Assistant-Kusuo nodded solemnly,
" "I understand." "
Immediately after, he bent down, and the ground beneath his feet began to stir!
" "Here it comes!" "
Saiki said with a grave expression.
" "Of course I know that!!!" "
Assistant-Kusuo pressed his hands tightly against the ground, and his psychic power instantly surged!
He was going to suppress this eruption and guide the magma flow to the next eruption point!
""Good job, maintain your state!" "
Saiki nodded in praise.
" "Easy for you to say, you haven't tried it! This isn't easy! You have to stop the eruption and divert the magma elsewhere!" "
Assistant-Kusuo's hair was disheveled by the strong airflow as he gritted his teeth and shouted.
At the same time, Kusuo clones in other locations also pressed their hands to the ground, suppressing and diverting!
However...
" "I can't hold it anymore! Something bad's going to happen if this continues!" "
Assistant-Kusuo had a serious expression. The eruption here was the most violent, and the pressure far exceeded that at the other clones' locations!
Aiura Mikoto was stunned beside him. Hearing Assistant-Kusuo's words, she immediately became flustered.
"Really?! All the clones are used up, what do we do?!"
" "Get out of the way!" "
Suddenly, Saiki stepped forward, brushing past Aiura Mikoto.
"Kusuo..."
She stared blankly as Kusuo walked to Assistant-Kusuo's side, slowly squatted down, and placed his hands on the ground as well.
" "We must end this unprecedented volcanic eruption today! End this cycle of the world!" "
Saiki's psychic power also surged wildly!
His face quickly turned pale, his expression distorted!
" "TIME!!!" "
" "MOVE FORWARD!!!!" "
At this instant!!....
The ground suddenly shook!
A violent earthquake erupted!
The entire Oshimai was shaking...
No!
Not just Oshimai!
The entire country began to shake!
But soon, the shaking became lighter and the force diminished significantly.
"It stopped..."
Aiura Mikoto stared blankly at Saiki in front of her.
His clothes were in tatters, and even his hair was messy.
Assistant-Kusuo, next to him, had already collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, barely recovering.
Thump!
Suddenly!
Saiki fell to the ground.
Aiura Mikoto instinctively rushed towards Saiki!
"Kusuo!! Are you okay!!!"
" "I'm fine, the eruption has stopped, the world continues to move forward!" "
Saiki stared straight up at the clear blue sky.
Year after year of endless cycles...
It had finally ended...
Time flowed once more...
At this moment, a smile bloomed on Saiki's face.
This was also the first time many people had seen such a smile from Saiki...
It turned out...
This seemingly selfish, indifferent psychic.
Could smile too.... 』
