It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 164: Of course you can quit the company
"what?"

After opening the door, Illya hurriedly ran out of the workshop, looking around a little confused.

Even though I ran out of the room to the living room...

However, the contrast is huge...

Suddenly, she opened the door and ran out of the vast room of one hundred square kilometers into the narrow living room. She couldn't help but have an illusion that she didn't leave the room, but walked into a closed secret room from a wider space.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that she did not see the mother who should have greeted her with a smile as bright as a flower and tenderly. There were only two girls standing at the entrance, one with long hair, one with short hair, one with a look of astonishment, and one with a blank expression, but she didn't know either of them.

——Why aren’t you here? Why aren’t you here?

——Where on earth did my mother go…was my elder brother lying to me?
Illya, who was wrapped in a bath towel and had wet long silver hair, stood there in a daze at that moment, staring blankly at Nagato Yuki and Asakura Ryoko who were standing at the entrance.

"Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall..."

A slow and leisurely voice came from behind, and Xia Zhi walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Nagato-san, I have something for you...Oh, it's Asakura-san, you're here."

He was just about to ask Nagato Yuki to help buy a dozen sets of clothes that Illya could wear, but he happened to see Asakura Ryoko. He immediately changed his mind on the spot and thought that it might be a better choice to entrust this person.

Although Yuki Nagato is reliable, she is just reliable.

As reliable as a robot.

But precisely because of this, Xia Zhi was unable to see any individual characteristics in her. After all, she simply wore an ordinary school uniform, and it seemed that she would not even think about dressing up unless it was necessary.

There will definitely be no problem in asking Yuki Nagato to help buy clothes.

But based on her personality, it is very likely that she will find the most suitable clothing based on Illya's physical data, and then pack up a dozen identical sets in batches.

The main focus is convenience, efficiency, and speed...

Illya definitely won't like it...

On the contrary, Asakura Ryoko is obviously much more human. Whether she is pretending or not, she does show rich emotions and a different personality.

Xia Zhi took a quick look at the girl. She had long, neat blue hair that reached her waist, and was wearing a long-sleeved sailor suit of the Prefectural North High School with blue and white as the main colors. However, even though she was wearing a school uniform, she still dressed herself up well.

There was a red bow tied on her chest, with the two ends of the bow ribbon hanging down, one long and one short.

Under that pleated skirt were a pair of slender legs and a pair of white socks, and absolute territory in between.

The seemingly simple embellishment of the dress is undoubtedly full of youthful vitality, especially compared with Nagato Yuki who maintains the factory settings, it is really quite personalized. Therefore, in summary, he has every reason to believe that Asakura Ryoko can better handle this task.

"Yes, yes..."

Asakura Ryoko nodded woodenly.

Her neck was like a rusty robot. She first looked at the expressionless Nagato Yuki, then looked at Illya not far away, and finally looked in the direction of Xia Zhi.

Then, the Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl smiled reluctantly. She no longer had that yellow tulip-like smile on her face. Instead, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time?"

"No, no, no, you came at the perfect time."

Faced with such a classic question, the young man naturally smiled brightly, gave her a thumbs up to express his affirmation, and gave an equally classic answer.

“Ah…!!” Asakura Ryoko widened her eyes, as if she was also shocked.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and subconsciously stepped back one step at a time. At the same time, she kept shaking her head and waving her hands at a very high frequency. Her face also looked very strange: "This... this, I may need a little more preparation, and I also need to ask for instructions..."

After saying these strange words in a hurry and panic, Asakura Ryoko turned around and left at a rapid speed without looking back.

It's like running away.

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence.

Xia Zhi twitched his eyebrows and revealed a subtle expression. Just asking for help in picking out some suitable clothes for the little girl, do I need to ask my superiors for permission?

Or, could it be that she was imagining something weird?
He looked at Nagato Yuki, who had remained silent from beginning to end, and blinked: "Is Asakura-san's emotional function too rich? Or are you two actually a control experiment, with different extreme points focusing on sensibility and rationality?"

"She might have a bug..."

Nagato Yuki said calmly without blinking.

....................................

After half an hour.

Still in the living room, Illya had blow-dried her hair and put on beautiful children's clothes, but she sat on the tatami with a disappointed and angry expression, staring angrily at a certain untrustworthy older brother, glaring at him very seriously and angrily.

only--

Besides being cute, that look obviously has no deterrent power...

"So, this is the contact device you used?"

Nagato Yuki looked at Illya for a while, then turned around and asked.

"That's right, or you think my position is very similar to yours, but in fact I am not a 'contact device', but more like a 'messenger'..." Xia Zhi spoke without any guilt, "This is the contact device I use."

"The Little Holy Grail..."

Yuki Nagato uttered this word lightly.

"Well, you can notice this too?" Xia Zhi stopped talking and looked at her with a little surprise.

In order to perfectly replicate Illya's body, he worked strictly in a one-to-one ratio. Command Seals were engraved all over her body, and her body was completely transformed into a crystallization of magic circuits under psychic surgery... Therefore, she also possessed the properties and functions of the Holy Grail.

It's normal for Nagato Yuki to notice something...

But being able to reveal the identity of the Lesser Holy Grail in one go, this...

"This is one of the most obvious information about her." The expressionless girl explained calmly. "As for the deeper information beneath the information, it requires in-depth analysis, but before I get your approval, I will abide by the rules of the covenant and will not act rashly."

"..."

"..." The young man's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly began to envy the "three-no" girl in front of him.

Information manipulation, information connection, etc., are really quite foul...

Perhaps in her eyes, the world is like a game. Everyone has a bright ID name above their head, and you can click it to open the detailed information page. The same is true for all objects... So under the same Earth information system, Illya is no exception.

After all, matter is energy, energy is also a kind of matter, and information can be said to be everywhere. It is a universal attribute of matter... Therefore, information life forms that are born directly from information and use the integration of information as their evolutionary path are indeed inherently advantageous.

——In this universe, there may not be many secrets for them.

——That is, he came from a different universe, his background is unknown, and he also has certain spiritual intelligence warfare capabilities...

——This is the only way to effectively resist the information manipulation and information connection capabilities of Nagato Yuki and others without the information life form taking action personally, and to attract attention.

He shook his head, pondered for a moment, and readily disclosed some information that could be made public: "Indeed, Illya's position is the Lesser Holy Grail, and her mother is the Greater Holy Grail. The combination of the two is a complete Holy Grail system..."

"Similar to the relationship between a terminal and a server?"

Nagato Yuki asked calmly.

"You can understand that."

"Then why is it named the Holy Grail?" The three-no girl raised her head slightly, and there seemed to be a glimmer in her eyes, like the flow of data, or as if she was receiving some information. "This name should come from a religious allusion on this planet. Does this allusion also exist in your world?"

"exist……"

The young man nodded in confirmation: "Not only do allusions exist, but real objects also exist."

——The Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War is essentially just a slightly more advanced crystal of magic power...

——Now he can also rub the Holy Grail at will. As long as efficiency and cost-effectiveness are not taken into consideration, there is no difference between the clone and the original body in this regard...

——But this does not mean that he will look down on the title of the Holy Grail, because after thoroughly delving into the world of magic and knowing all kinds of secrets, he has already understood that the source of that concept does exist, and it even has some connection with Altria.

After all, Galahad, the Knight of the Round Table, did obtain the Holy Grail.

Although he obtained the Holy Grail, he returned it to heaven because he had no desires, and he himself also returned to heaven.

But this point can be confirmed, at least in the time of King Arthur, the real Holy Grail still existed on Earth.

"The real thing?"

Nagato Yuki's expression changed slightly, although it was only by a few millimeters.

"Yes, that cup does exist... and it did contain the blood of God." The young man in front of her smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "At least in that world, that's exactly what happened. It can be confirmed that it happened."

"..."

"..."

The silence continued.

The expressionless girl was silent for a long time, and then she seemed to receive some instructions again and asked.

"Your side is... a magical civilization?"

------------

------------

Not to mention the huge amount of strange information Asakura Ryoko was attacked by...

Nor did I mention what kind of conversation Xia Zhi had with Nagato Yuki that night...

Time passed quickly and it was the next day.

The transfer student who had just received his transfer notice in the evening of the previous day also reported to Beigao very punctually the next morning, with no intention of delaying at all.

He was a freshman who was like a sunny and sporty boy. He was assigned to Class 1, Grade 9 of the Prefectural North High School. He had a handsome face that even those with girlfriends would not want to introduce him to. He always had a smile on his face, and after transferring here, he caused a certain amount of commotion.

This also made it logical for Suzumiya Haruhi to find her target——

So after school in the afternoon, the girl came back with her new "trophy" in high spirits.

"This is the club classroom, and I'm the leader! These are the members you joined before, numbers one, two, and three, and from now on you are number four..." With a carefree tone, Suzumiya Haruhi unceremoniously opened the door of the literature club room and walked in, then took a satisfied look at the gathered club members.

Then she turned around, waved her hand, and introduced the second-year transfer student.

"Hey... your introduction is too sloppy."

Kyon was secretly observing Asahina-senpai's expression, trying to confirm whether she was really willing to join in this nonsense. However, before he could come to a conclusion, he heard the culprit who suddenly appeared and introduced himself in a careless manner. Immediately, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Hearing Kyon's protesting complaints, Suzumiya Haruhi glared at him in dissatisfaction, and then changed her way of introducing them: "Okay, that's Nagato Yuki, Asahina Mikuru, and the one over there, these three are the members of our club..."

Very good, it still sounds casual.

"And what do you mean by 'there's something else'? Am I a bonus?"

The corners of Axu's mouth twitched: "So, can I quit this club?"

"Huh? How is that possible? This is a lifelong responsibility system."

"How can this be possible!" Ah Xu couldn't help but argue, just in time to see the door of the club room being opened again.

He took the opportunity to look over, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Teacher Xia Zhi, tell me, of course everyone in the club can choose to quit, right?"

“Can I choose to quit the club?”

The young teacher who had just walked into the department office suddenly heard this question and frowned slightly: "This is generally possible, as long as it is not too serious. You can just cut off a finger yourself."

"..."

"..."

"Teacher Xia Zhi, I'm talking about the campus club, not the underworld club..."

Ah Xu's whole face turned embarrassed.

——He doubted that during this period of time...

——I use this expression more often than in the past decade or so...
