--- Okamura Hiromi's POV ---
A few days after I retained my memories back, the admins gave me a call.
The three of us, Administrators A, F, and K had one more meeting.
Of course, that was a trap I'd set up.
I needed their help to create the synergistic system known as K System.
And we made this "game" in my homeworld for the sole purpose of pushing both my past self and big brother to obtain more powers.
Thus, it doesn't have any purpose now. Of course, I won't be taking it down directly.
I know for a fact, that Onii-chan is trying his best to become more powerful so that one day he can go up against the administrators of Aincrad.
I knew he suspected Kayaba Akihiko despite the fact I was the culprit who killed millions of players in Aincrad
Therefore, before he finds out...
"What... Are you doing... F!??"
I NEED TO DISPOSE OF ALL OF THE EVIDENCE.
That is the voice of a squid man with wings.
The heartless (literally) Administrator A lay down on the spiritual ground.
This will be the start of my second plan.
If I only let the system run and kill the other admins... I'd get away with it.
Onii-chan will not suspect me. Yes...
This is for the best.
He will not see this side of me.
In order to be with him...
Together...
"GYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
The scream of the two deity friends of my past echoes through the galactic realm.
I don't know who created the dimensional chat group in the first place. But there is no parasitical core inside of it. It's harmless, and no matter what... We will definitely need it to become stronger.
So I took it from the previous timeline and sent it here, finally arriving at Onii-chan's hands after he obtained it as a reward for completing the first floor...
In reality, Onii-chan was supposed to obtain the Dimensional smartphone by chance.
This too, was the product of my interventions.
All butterfly effects are within predictions
Aincrad will remain to exist in my homeworld. But I will not meddle with it anymore.
Knowing Onii-chan, he will consult me and tell me that he wants both of us to stay in another world permanently. That's the only possible route that will happen if I play my cards right.
So all of that's aside. The smile appeared once more on my face.
For now, I need to prepare for Onii-chan's dinner right away.

--- Okamura Akihito's POV ---
This... Is not right.
Something definitely changed in the Group Chat.
[Administrator F has used their Admin Authority]
Usually, you'd seen that notification once you find out an admin is hiding their skills.
But how does that work when the said Admin wasn't even registered in the group?
"Shiro, I will go back for a minute." I said this to the white-haired girl who is lazing around naked on the bed.
We end up getting a few days of extension for our stay.
But still, the Compendium of the group concerned me.
Even if it's just a fragment of seconds, Hiromi's Compendium was opened and rewritten.
[Is it really that concerning? I kind of starting to enjoy the show, you know?] Veldanava stated, which I ignored.
And finally...
«Inquiry: Would you like to go back?»
Yes.
.
.
.
I went inside the guild building. My office, specifically.
"Welcome back, Onii-chan." With a refreshing smile, he calls out to me.
This is not right...
No...
How unsightly...
This is the worse.
"What's wrong... Onii-chan?"
That voice was undoubtedly Hiromi's, that face, that appearance is none other than my sweet little sister that my manipulative personality has corrupted.
Yet why?
"What have you done to Hiromi?"
My aura was unleashed.
For a good 0.30 seconds, the whole world felt the pressure of my Dragon Spirit's Haki.
I managed to calm myself down a bit after that few fragments seconds, despite the pressure still there: increasing the weight of gravity in the radius of 30 kilometers.
It was with Samzaya's help I was able to shrink the area of effect to that state.
Just a little bit longer and I would've been the culprit of a mass murderer via fear debuff.
«Report has been calculated: in the span of 0.35 seconds, 19 Mile radius, Confirmed deaths of elderlies in the 70-90 years of ages, confirmed individuals with mental illnesses due to the pressure, and deaths of a few animals»
Scratch that, I seem to be a mass murderer already.
Take their souls, reincarnate the ones who met my conditions and you do the rest.
«Affirmative. Regulating all souls to compensate the loss.»
Oh well, I've basically killed D's homeworld so if I was going to say it, I was already a mass murderer a few days ago.
"What... What do you mean, Onii-chan?"
The refreshing smile is still there, plastered on the entity known as my sister.
Yet her eyes showed no reaction to the aura that can make anyone throw up or panic and lose their ability to breathe for a second.
Only the surprise of my reaction.
This is pointless.
I can sense divinity easily.
For Hiromi to obtain such a thing.
There's no way that kind of thing is possible.
I never thought those admins would go this far...
With a terrifying speed, I adjusted my body to catch the entity in front of me, I catch her neck with my hand and pushed her. Ultimately slamming her to the wall.
Upon evolving, Samzaya was able to obtain more information about Aincrad's system.
Three administrators were said to be managing it.
"So which one are you? A? F? or K? Should we go through the entire alphabet for this??"
The face of hatred is clearly shown on my face.
.
.

--- Third Person's POV ---
"O-o-onii-chan..." Hiromi's voice was clearly stuttering from the choking.
She looks at her big brother in surprise.
This wasn't exactly what she had foreseen.
"A-ack--!!!"
How did it become like this?
As far as Hiromi had ever done in her life and her previous timeline, this is the first she had seen it.
Her beloved Onii-chan who cares for her, is now hurting her with deep hatred in his eyes.
But she also realized it was because of her. He suspected the current her to be the admin.
But how did he know in the first place?
How did the worst-case scenario happen despite all her preparations?
But after a few seconds... "Onii...-sama..."
«Notice! The individual in front of you is indeed Hiromi Okamura»
Samzaya notified him late.
Akihito's eyes went wide. As if it was natural reflexes, he loosen his grip on Hiromi's red neck immediately.
He backed away a few steps.
"Hiro... mi?"
Who is the girl in front of him? What did the admins of Aincrad do when he was away? Such, were the questions Akihito asked no one in particular.
But something sinks in deep inside his heart.
If it's truly Hiromi, his beloved little sister, who he had strangled and hurt... He couldn't even imagine what kind of face he'd show her.
But somehow, after a minute, with faces of guilty towards each other... Both of them ask a question at the same time.
"Is that... Really you... Hiromi?/ Onii-chan, did you... ascend already?"
"Eh" ×2
.
.
.
It was surely a misunderstanding, but neither of them just can't point out how it happened.
"So this whole time... You were one of the administrators of Aincrad." (Akihito)
Hiromi took the initiative to explain the situation.
She figured it won't be any good leaving such huge detail to the big brother who has somehow become a High ranked deity even though he just ascended into one recently.
The same rank as she is.
Her plan of "Empowering" her brother in this timeline happened too smoothly despite her consent.
She thought she had calculated everything.
But she didn't.
And soon afterward,
"So you... Dealt with the idiot giant and D???" Hiromi is obviously referring to Legia and Administrator D.
Both of them seem to be a pain in the arse in this timeline too, but Hiromi just couldn't believe what Akihito had said.
He said he wanted to make sure nothing gets in the way of peaceful life.
They pulled each other into a hug.
The word "Sorry" wasn't muttered by anyone in the moment of silence.
But even after exchanging their stories, as well as a warm hug they shared with each other, they weren't able to wipe off the smile of sinister maniacs from their face.
The art of manipulation seems to have taken root deep into their soul. They admit just how twisted they can get.
Even if it's for the sake of each other's well-being.
Even if it takes multiple timelines to be burned down.
Even if it takes the fate of a multiverse to be at risk.
As long as they have each other, it'll be worth it.

(A/N: The first season is over. From now on the story will become a bit more laid back. We've gone through the Exposition, Problem Rising, Climax, and Resolution from the first chapter to this latest one.
From now on, the supporting characters will get more screen- I mean, script time. The classic adventure between worlds via Dimensional Group Chat will happen.
That, before going through another serious mode. Another problem rising will come in the future. But a few volumes ahead will be a slow-paced story without that many conflicts.
More characters will also be added to the group chat.)

Part 1 - End.
