“I understand.” Inoue Takina nodded.

Shi Chen was right. Whether he was two-timing her or not was none of her business. She was just here to learn. Once she returned to DA, this place would be none of her concern.

However, she couldn't help but ask, "Then is Shiyu also...?"

"Don't misunderstand." Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly, picking up some food with her chopsticks, "I'm just a tenant here, much like you."

"Really?" Inoue Takina didn't believe it at all.

If she hadn't seen her, Shichen, and Kanna looking like a family of three, she would almost have believed it.

Is this what it means for a girl to say one thing but mean another?

Chapter 85 Learning Magic

After dinner and a simple Q&A session, Inoue Takina began to integrate into Tokimitsu's family.

It just means there are more problems.

After all, she is still a young girl, and at this age, it's really hard for her not to care about certain things.

However, her main goal right now is to get back as soon as possible, so she doesn't necessarily need to understand everything clearly and can resist the urge to do so.

After dinner, we cleaned up the kitchen and went back upstairs together.

Takina Inoue has a regular schedule, so she immediately started taking a shower and getting ready for bed.

Shichen then took Thor and the others up to the third floor to experience the games he had bought.

With some time to spare, Tohru and Chitsuka Nishiki naturally became interested in the game. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have time to play with them because she had to write her novel.

"Chen, teach me magic after I finish writing my novel," Kasumigaoka Utaha said as she walked toward the study, not forgetting to give him this instruction.

"Okay, I'll teach you all night without any problem."

"Hmph~ With my brain, I don't need to study all night."

"Brother Chen, what's this about learning magic?" Jinmu Qian Shu asked curiously.

"This is it."

As Shichen spoke, he stretched out a hand, palm facing upwards. Then, flames burst forth from his palm, the flames a holy gold, radiating a sacred aura and brimming with vitality.

This is the ability he gained after awakening his first familiar, which is the ability that the familiar comes with, and he can use it at will.

"Oh!" Nishiki Chizuka stared in surprise at the flame in Shichen's palm, feeling a familiar sensation within it.

"This feeling... is so familiar."

"Is that so?" Shi Chen wasn't surprised at all.

Speaking of which, Nishiki Chizuki has two fragments of divine power. One is the fragment that his first familiar resided in, which he obtained from Frilian, and the other is the one that she brought with her.

Although he also possesses this fragment of divinity and it exists simultaneously, as long as he doesn't acquire it, it remains Schrödinger's existence.

If he can travel through time and space, then he has already transcended the paradox; the simultaneous existence of divine fragments is entirely reasonable.

However, what he was more curious about was why he still couldn't obtain the other fragment from Nishiki Chizuki.

There isn't even a method to obtain it.

If he doesn't think there's a lack of trust or affection between them right now, then there must be other reasons.

He was able to acquire the divine fragments from Kanna, though; when he woke up in the morning, the "she" in his mind indicated that the conditions had been met.

It's only been one night.

As expected, Kanna is just a child. Even though she's a dragon who's lived for over ten thousand years, she's still too trusting.

However, this was not because she was not wary, but because he had a condition: Thor's trust in him.

If it weren't for Thor, Kanna would never have approached him.

"Brother Chen, can I learn magic too?" Jinmu Qianshu asked.

Are you also interested in magic?

"Of course I'd be interested! It can even conjure fire."

"Fire is just the simplest magic; there's also magic that can create flower fields, and magic that doesn't require washing up."

"I don't want any magic that doesn't require washing up. I'd feel more at ease if I washed up first. But I'm still very interested in magic that can create a flower field," said Chizuka Nishiki.

“But cleaning magic can make you clean, while washing up doesn’t necessarily clean you up... Why don’t you just use cleaning magic first and then wash up?” Shi Chen analyzed.

"That seems to be true," Nishiki Chizuka realized.

"So, do you still want to learn?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"I want to learn them all!"

"Hehe~ Don't be so happy yet. What if you can't cultivate magic power? Without magic power, you can't cast spells."

“Eh—” Nishiki Chizuka frowned with worry.

"Haha, there's really no need to worry." Shi Chen put away the golden flames and then rubbed her head.

"Even if you can't cultivate magic, I have other ways."

"Brother Chen is so mean! He actually scared me!" Jinmu Qianshu threw herself into Shichen's arms and gently punched his chest.

"How can this be called scaring you?" Shi Chen hugged her and chuckled softly.

"that is!"

"Okay, okay, it was my fault, alright?"

"That's not enough, I need compensation!" Nishiki Chizuki looked up, pouting as she stared at him.

"Compensation? What kind of compensation do you want?"

"Hehe~" Nishiki Chizuka chuckled foolishly, then tilted her head back and closed her eyes.

"..."

She didn't need to say much; Shichen naturally understood what she meant.

Good grief, he's trying to take advantage of him again. But he's not a stingy person; it's just compensation. What's wrong with that?

However, things are a bit difficult now.

"stare......"

At this moment, Thor and Kanna were staring at him, one with narrowed eyes and a dangerous look in her eyes, and the other with wide, innocent eyes.

"Shichen, Shichen, what are you doing?" Kanna asked directly.

"Hmm...we're not going to do anything." Shichen decisively abandoned the idea of ​​compensating Jinmu Qianshu.

"Come on, I'll show you how to play games."

"Oh!"

"Huh? Shichen?" Jinmu Qian Shu then realized that Shichen had already let go of her and walked into the game room.

"Hurry up and catch up," Shi Chen called to her casually.

"Where is my compensation?"

"Next time definitely!"

"How could this be!" Nishiki Chizuki pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph~ Serves you right." Thor sneered smugly.

"What are you doing?" Jinmu Qian Shu glared at her angrily. "Can't I even let Chen-ge kiss me?"

“I didn’t say no, it’s Lord Chen who’s unwilling. Honestly, how could Lord Chen do such a thing in front of Kanna?” Thor reminded him.

“Oh right… um?” Chizuka Nishiki paused for a moment, looking at Tohru in surprise.

"What?"

"You're not jealous of Kanna anymore?" Nishiki Chizuka asked, smiling at her.

"Of course, Kanna is just a child, and Lord Chen only treats her as a child."

"I'm amazed you understood so quickly."

"Hmph~ You reminded me, so I'll reluctantly thank you." Thor turned his head away, embarrassed.

"Is that so~ Is that so~" Nishiki Chizuka moved closer to Tohru, happily trying to hug her.

"Don't hug me, only Lord Chen can hug me!" Thor pushed her away without hesitation and turned to walk into the game room.

"..." Nishiki Chizuki twitched the corner of her mouth and followed her.

In the game room, Shichen was already teaching Kanna how to play games. She was teaching her Pokémon, and it was an early version of it.

He was quite familiar with the earlier version. Although he had played a pirated version before, the storyline was the same, so he was too lazy to play through it again himself.

Kanna was very interested in Pokémon and started playing with her Game Boy all by herself.

Shichen then played Mario with Tohru and Nishiki Chizuka, a game the three of them could play together.

Playing games together is a lot of fun. Before they knew it, two and a half hours had passed. Around 10 o'clock, Kasumigaoka Utaha came to find them after finishing her novel.

"Chen, it's time to teach me magic."

"Wait, after this round... do you want to join?"

"what is this?"

"If you want to pass the level, I'll teach you."

"also."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in the spot where Toki had just been sitting and took his place, while Toki instructed her from the side.

The game ended quickly, and Kasumigaoka Utaha lost interest, so she dragged Toki to her room to learn magic.

Nishiki Chizuka followed closely behind.

Playing games alone is no fun, so Thor didn't want to play anymore. She wanted to see what human magic was like, so she left the game room.

Kanna was already engrossed in the game, sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the game console, her little hands pressing the buttons without letting go for a moment.
