Chapter 1763 The Humans Who Made Contracts with the Demon King: Flame Haze and World Traveler

Su Yunqing was somewhat emotional when she mentioned this point.

"Shakugan no Shana" is a very, very old anime, almost twenty years before she traveled to another world.

However, the captivating nature of the plot left a deep impression on her.

In some ways, its worldview is no less impressive than that of "A Certain Magical Index," but unfortunately, it was limited by the era in which it was created and couldn't be elevated to a higher level.

In Shana's world, there is another world besides the world where humans live, and that world is called the "Crimson World".

To realize their ambitions, the people of the Crimson World have been seizing the world's primordial power, known as the "Power of Existence," for thousands of years.

In order to fight against the Crimson World, beings known as "Flame Haze" appeared.

Flame Haze is the name given to humans who have made a contract with the Demon King.

Shana is a Flame Haze warrior. The Demon Lord she contracts with is Alastor, the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Slayer. She is also known as the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Slayer.

In short, the story is about Shana, who miraculously saves Yuuji Sakai from a monster attack, and the two fall in love and save the world along the way.

Regardless of the specifics, the goal and outcome are definitely to save the world.

The plot is one aspect, and Shana's character design is another. Back then, the tsundere archetype wasn't as prevalent as it is later. At least when Su Yunqing watched it, she was somewhat unfamiliar with the word "tsundere" and only thought Shana was cute.

Moreover, as a tsundere heroine, Shana is textbook-worthy!
Her "Urouge" three-hit combo was a famous scene from anime before Su Yunqing transmigrated.

Do you even realize the significance of Shana's transformation from a cold-blooded warrior into a girl who has learned to love?

Xia Shizi: "Old foreigner."

Kasumi Utako: "Is it like Bleach, Naruto, or One Piece?"

Xia Shizi: "It is inevitable that it will gradually decline over time."

Kasumi Shiko: "Every work will go through this kind of thing."

Kasumi Shiko: "As long as there are still fans who love it, that is the happiest thing for the person who created this story."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed from the bottom of her heart after seeing Su Yunqing's words.

Because she is also an author, she can understand this feeling.

The flaming, burning-eyed assassin: "What are you talking about?"

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "Don't talk like you know me so well."

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "In short, you're not Crimson World Demon Lords, but rather you're from another world, just like the information you've been feeding me into this chat group, right?"

They were babbling incoherently, I couldn't understand what they were saying.

As long as it's not the illusion of the Crimson World Demon King, it's fine.

An ordinary group owner said, "The Crimson Demon King doesn't have that ability."

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "Shulusai! Shulusai! Shulusai!"

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "How do I know if the Crimson World Demon Lord has such an ability?"

An ordinary group admin: "Shiba Inu happy.jpg"

An ordinary group admin: "A familiar feeling."

Although it was just text, Su Yunqing could already picture a proud, fiery-haired girl with her arms crossed and pouting in dissatisfaction.

That triple combo of quality has to be Shana!

The richest man in the lighthouse: "???"

Kasumi Shiko: "???"

Boil Daigo into soup: "???"

Qianwumei Xiaomi: "???"

A prodigy among loners: "???"

A genius among loners: "Shiba Inu in bliss.jpg?"

A genius among loners: "This doesn't seem right."

A genius among loners: "Group owner, you have this kind of hobby?"

Hachiman Hikigaya never expected that Su Yunqing, the chat group's administrator, would have such a quirk.

I didn't notice it at all before, is it because there are no tsundere people in the chat group?

Although he hadn't seen the newcomer's memory copy, he could tell from those three "uruses" that this guy was a tsundere.

If it weren't for the word "Yanfa" in her group name, he would have thought she had blonde hair.

An ordinary group admin: "Ahem."

The ordinary group owner said: "It's just a memory of my childhood, don't worry about it."

An ordinary group admin: "@InflammatoryBurningEyesKiller, what time is it for you right now?"

An ordinary group admin: "Do you have your own name yet?"

Su Yunqing then realized that something was wrong with her, so she quickly coughed and asked Xia Na for clarification, changing the subject.

Shana didn't have a name at first. The name "Shana" was given to her by Yuji Sakai, taken from the name of the katana Shana, the weapon she wielded.

If she has a name now, it means she has already met Yuji Sakai, and the story has already begun.

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "Name? That kind of thing is completely unimportant."

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "And I already have a codename."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "The code name and the real name are different."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "For us, a name is like the mark of being accepted by the world for the first time, a solemn inscription of proof of our 'existence'."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Without a name, it's like a star in the night sky whose mark has been erased. Although the light still exists, it will not be identified, called out, or missed."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "A name is proof of a person's existence in the world, a birthmark that allows the soul to be recognized by the world."

Himouto! Umaru-chan: "It's a very important thing."

After seeing Shana's words, Umaru shook her head and said...

In her view, a name is a very important thing. Just as things need a name, people also need a name.

Otherwise, how will others address you? How will they distinguish you from others?

Without a name, you feel like a shadow; others won't remember you, and you'll hardly leave an impression. A name is a mark, proof of your existence.

That's why she only refuted Shana's statement that names weren't important and that she already had a code name.

Kasumi: "Although I don't know what you've been through, just like Umaru said, a name is a very important thing."

Kasumi Shiko: "Perhaps you don't feel anything about this, but once you have a name, you will definitely be able to understand what we are saying."

Xia Shizi: "@OrdinaryGroupOwner, she should have a name, right? At least she will have a name later."

Kasumi: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked this question."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze fell upon Su Yunqing.

The group admin asking the newcomer if she has a name is clearly to confirm the timeline, meaning that the newcomer will have her own name at the beginning of the story or when the story progresses to a certain point.

An ordinary group admin: "Yes, that's true."

An ordinary group owner: "@Flame-haired Burning-eye Killer, your name is Shana, Shana is your name."

An ordinary group admin: "It's the name given to you by the person you'll love in the future, the person who loves you back, the person who's willing to spend their life with you."

Su Yunqing nodded in agreement with Kasumigaoka Utaha's words, and then said Shana's name.

The flaming, burning-eyed assassin: "The person I'll like in the future?"

The Flaming-Haired, Burning-Eyed Assassin: "The one willing to spend a lifetime with?"

The flaming, burning-eyed assassin: "Huh?"

When Shana saw Su Yunqing's words, her mouth dropped open.

What the hell?

The Flame-Haired, Burning-Eyed Assassin: "Incomprehensible."

The flaming, burning-eyed assassin: "But I don't care."

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin: "In the end, as long as I'm still alive, that's enough."

The Burning-Eyed Assassin: "I don't need anyone to remember me, I don't need to be identified, I don't need to be called upon, I don't need to be missed."

Shana said calmly.

She is the "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Killer," for whom emotions are unnecessary; all that matters is fulfilling the Flame Haze's mission.

A name might be important to ordinary people, but it meant nothing to her.

She doesn't care who named her.

Kasumi: "Hmm, it sounds like she was born an orphan, or came from a complicated family background, and was specially trained to achieve a certain purpose."

Xia Shizi: "Moreover, she is very naive in matters of the heart, but she is quite unfamiliar with love and may not understand it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head upon seeing Shana's words.

Although Shana spoke in a very calm tone, the message she conveyed left a strange sense of sadness.

If she's not mistaken, then Shana is most likely an orphan.

Because families with parents wouldn't leave their children without giving them a name.

The ordinary group owner: "Pretty much."

An ordinary group owner: "Shana suffered an unfortunate event when she was still an infant, becoming homeless and nearly losing her life."

An ordinary group owner: "At that time, I happened to meet Wilhelmina Carmel, who was entrusted by the previous Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin to find the new Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Assassin. I was picked up and adopted by Wilhelmina and have lived in the Heavenly Palace ever since. I have no idea about my birthday or name."

An ordinary group owner: "During the new [Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Killer] training, I was instilled with beliefs such as 'Avengers have no emotions, only the mission of a Flame Haze' and 'Different aspirations lead to different names,' and I was raised entirely as a Flame Haze elite."

An ordinary group owner said: "In terms of relationships, Shana was only 12 years old when she became a Flame Haze, which can be said to be an age when she was naive and inexperienced."

An ordinary group owner said, "In addition, Wilhelmina's isolated education method, which eliminates all thoughts other than the 'perfect Flame Haze,' means she doesn't know anything about this aspect."

An ordinary group owner said: "In the initial encounter, Shana regarded Yuuji Sakai as an object of the torch, but as they spent more time together, she gradually came to understand the true nature of Yuuji Sakai."

An ordinary group owner said: "During the final battle against 'Masquerade,' I saw Yuji Sakai's unexpected talent and reliable demeanor, and thus regarded him as a special person."

An ordinary group admin said: "But at that time, Shana was too naive in terms of emotions to accurately perceive her own romantic feelings."

The ordinary group owner: "Because of the need to guard Yuuji Sakai, I lived as an ordinary person for the first time at Misaki High School and the Sakai family. Through my interactions with Yuuji's mother, Chigusa Sakai, and my classmates, I gradually understood sociality and common sense, and also gradually realized the emotions that I had been neglecting all along."

The ordinary group admin: "However."

Su Yunqing's tone became somewhat complicated as she spoke.

In the first two seasons, although Yuuji Sakai demonstrated exceptional intelligence, strategic thinking, and planning abilities, serving as Shana's strategist and providing crucial assistance to Shana and her team, she didn't actually feel much about this at the time.

Until the plot of the third installment.

At the beginning of the third part, Yuji Sakai made a pact with the Snake of the Festival, allowing it to temporarily reside in his body. He became the leader of the masquerade ball and began his battle against Shana.

Afterwards, Yuji Sakai, the Snake of the Ritual, announced his imperial decree: to create a new world called "Nothingness," and to send all the Crimson Denizens to this world in exchange for peace in reality.

Shana and the others objected, saying that although it was indeed a good thing, the Crimson Denizens would eventually get tired of living in the New World and would return to reality, so peace would only last for a period of time. Shana felt that it was unnecessary to do this.

Ultimately, amidst various changes and difficulties, Yuji Sakai finally completed the "Nothingness Realm" and brought all the Crimson Denizens into it. Shana and the others failed and could only watch this situation unfold silently.

In this war, Sakai used psychological warfare to defeat the Flame Haze army's morale. His ability to win hearts and minds even amazed Halberm, one of the masquerade generals. In the final battle, he even outmaneuvered everyone.

The serpent of sacrifice described him as someone who would use anything that could be used, even the gods.

Yuji Sakai had the idea of ​​changing the world from the very beginning. When the Serpent of the Festival came knocking, Yuji Sakai did not hesitate to choose the path of being at odds with everyone.

Perhaps Yuji Sakai thought that the Flame Haze were inflexible and conservative people who would never accept the Snake of the Ritual, but he didn't know that he was far more stubborn than the Flame Haze.

Yuji Sakai believed that he could change the fate of Shana and the other Flame Haze, and change the situation where the Crimson Denizens devoured humans. He naively thought that Shana's fate needed to be saved by him, but he did not understand that the mission of the Flame Haze that Shana loved was the driving force for her survival.

This was actually his own willful act, completely disregarding Shana's feelings. Amidst the familiar chants of "Urusai, Urusai, Urusai," domestic violence occurred.

After the domestic violence incident, Yuji Sakai and Shana finally understood each other, and the kiss they had been waiting for for seven years finally arrived. Shana also followed Yuji Sakai to the "Nothingness Realm".

Yuji Sakai transformed Shana from "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Killer" into "Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Killer Shana";
Shana transformed Yuuji Sakai from a Mystice into "Yuuji Sakai the Reincarnator," and the two saved and redeemed each other.

It was too long ago, and Su Yunqing didn't see the whole story at the time, but the process and outcome were roughly as described.

The process unfolded in a way that was completely different from what she had imagined, which is why it left a deep impression on her.
