Editing The Unexplored Summon Blood Sign:Volume1 Chapter3 (section)

===Part 1===

“Oh. My. Dear. Brother?”

''At just past eight in the morning,'' the White Queen smiled thinly in the Artificial Sacred Ground created by an Incense Grenade in the station-front plaza covered in the wreckage of the fallen bridge.

“I hate to do this when we finally have a chance to see each other again, but I will be leaving for the time being. Still, I know that you are at these coordinates. That alone was well worth the trip.”

“What…are you thinking?”

“I’m always thinking about nothing but you, year-round.”

“You are not thinking about me. You’re only in love with being in love.”

“What’s the difference?”

“What you have is only an illusion.”

“Hmm, this sounds like the beginning of a love story I’d want to listen to all night long, but the Artificial Sacred Ground is about at its limit. Complaining any more would only ruin the mood.”

“…”

“Glare at me all you want, but is there anything you can do against a Material without a vessel? Hee hee. Not that you would have much of a chance against the peak of the Unexplored-class even at your best.”

That was the truth.

His vessel, Meinokawa Higan, was currently giving form to the White Queen. Plus the contract had been torn from his grasp just before she had been summoned. He had no power at the moment. Not even the standard protective circle. If she so much as flicked him on a whim, it would probably tear off his head.

“How long are you going to keep this up?”

“As long as it takes to make you mine. Yes, I adore you so much I wish I could ''snatch you away'' right this instant. But this vessel is just so frail. If I ignore the Artificial Sacred Ground and extend the time limit too much, there might be no saving her.”

“What…?”

“You’ll know just what I mean if you look into things afterwards. I would prefer you didn’t look at another girl’s skin too much, but motivating you is more important. …But if it arouses even an ounce of lust inside you, I will physically wring this vessel out like an old rag.”

The sound of static filled their surroundings.

The ten minute time limit was up.

“Oh, right. If you wish to kill me and save a certain someone, I recommend starting by smashing Guard of Honor’s rather amusing ambitions. To be honest, I am currently somewhat separated from the Blood-Sign style summoning ceremony. Although their Sewn Realm Summoning isn’t very good, so I can exist in two places at once like this. But it is still based on the Sewn Realm Summoning, so you need to destroy both the system supporting it and that version of me if you want to eliminate the ‘change’.”

The details of the White Queen’s outline blurred, but she continued speaking with a smile.

“My time is up. Until we meet again, brother. I will be waiting until the end of the world.”

“Do you really think I’ll do what you want?”

“You will. I guarantee it. 100%.”

She was smiling.

That alone would have been lovely, but she spoke with an endlessly toxic elegance in her voice.

“After all, you are Alice (with) Rabbit. You are the great hero who will save two hundred when you should only be able to save one hundred. With human techniques, I expect you can’t extend the limit past ''seven this evening''. Once you notice what has been done and find a life will be lost, you will run to the dark side of the moon if necessary.”

That was all.

The ten minutes were up, the mysterious Artificial Sacred Ground dispersed, and the White Queen vanished.

All that remained were the scars of destruction and the summoners and vessel she had selfishly beaten up.

Plus Meinokawa Higan who collapsed limply despite not having used an extended Chain.

She would die at seven o’clock.

The White Queen had said so, so it would not be a lie.
