Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Thinking something terrible had happened, Gao Hai's expression tightened. He immediately began to sense Qian Hua's location through Andres's blessing and planned to teleport there directly.

I pushed my dog ​​and broke his bone, and I also damaged a wall in the house. I didn't feel it yesterday at Ahai's house, but now I realize I can't handle my strength at all. I need special training. Ahai, come help me with that!

So that's what happened.

Hearing this, Gao Hai felt a sense of relief and thought to himself.

Is it a problem with her strength being difficult to control? Speaking of which, I did feel yesterday that she wasn't quite able to control her strength. Is it because she didn't have one less dungeon experience compared to Kaguya Maki, so she wasn't able to adapt to the physical enhancement better? If that's the case, Miko and Ai might also be encountering similar problems.

With that in mind, Takahashi decided to call Hayasaka soon, and inquired about Miko's situation through the mental link before heading towards Chika's location.

Interlude 3-46: The power of nihilism, and what it feels like to be forced to be a third wheel?

Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, neither Miko nor Hayasaka encountered Chika's problem.

Among them, Miko seems to have achieved this because her mental strength is second only to Takami's. Therefore, despite the significant change in her physical strength, she can still control her movements and avoid accidentally breaking her pet's bones. Well, although she doesn't actually have any pets. As for Ai, she already possesses superhuman physical abilities, so after the enhancement, she adapted quickly thanks to her control over her muscles.

Gao Hai had nothing to say except to admire him.

{Well then, I'm going to accompany Chika to her acclimatization training now. Kita-san, you… well, anyway, whether you want to go home, see Ichiri, or go to [Starry Sky], it's all fine. Just wait until things are finished with Chika and me, okay?}

Before setting off, Gao Hai thought for a moment and then spoke with Kita Ikuyo, who was floating beside him.

{I'm fine, just call me Kita. Being able to come back alive is already an immense debt of gratitude I can never repay. Um, Mr. Takashi, you should go find Fujiwara first. I'm not in a hurry. Um... well... never mind, it's nothing..."}

Kita Ikuyo seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She clearly wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while in front of Gao Hai, the girl ultimately said nothing.

Gao Hai felt puzzled. He wanted to secretly sense Kita Ikuyo's current thoughts, but he felt it would be impolite, so he held back and didn't say anything.

In fact, what Kita Ikuyo herself wanted to say was actually very simple, but how to put it... a little thought would reveal that, as someone who was being saved, it was actually not appropriate for her to make such a request.

Yes, that's right. What Kita wanted to say was, when Takami and Chika are doing their adaptation training later, could they please not start touching each other inappropriately and doing anything unseemly? As an observer, Kita Ikuyo really didn't want to see that scene repeated before her eyes, but as she just said, it wasn't appropriate for her to make such a request right now. Therefore, the girl could only helplessly endure it in the end, secretly praying that this man wasn't the type with extremely strong desires who might do something inappropriate at any time.

Also, um... wait a minute, is he directly using "Ichiri" as a nickname? Is he calling Pochi-chan by her name directly? Wait, wait a minute, this man also said that he saved me at Pochi-chan's request. Could it be that Pochi-chan is already with him...?

{Well then, I'm ready to begin. This is actually my first time using it since receiving this blessing; I wonder how effective it will be?}

Just as Kita Ikuyo sensed something was wrong and wanted to ask more questions, Takami took a deep breath and activated the power of blessing.

Nihilation, activated!

The hands, feet, head, and other body parts were the first to disappear.

Next, the body, and the clothes covering it, were also covered by this force and disappeared without a trace.

Gao Hai simply vanished from the real world, disappearing as if he had become invisible.

However, Kita Ikuyo could still sense his presence.

I felt something... like when I faced that core obsession of "nothingness." It was that feeling of not seeing anything, not hearing anything, not perceiving anything, yet inexplicably having a strong intuition that "something exists here."

This familiar sense of contradiction means that this is the blessing power that Mr. Gao received from the "nothingness".

That's really scary.

However... even in this state, my mind and his are still closely connected, and the link between us is completely unaffected? Sigh, it seems that breaking free from this fused state is really difficult.

While thinking, Kita Ikuyo felt her body being pulled up by some force and float in mid-air.

{Looks like I can still carry you along, don't mind if I speed things up a bit?}

Although Kita couldn't see where Takami was, he could still hear what she was saying through the mental link.

{I'm fine. Although I'm only in a spiritual state right now, I'm still a Red Moon-level player, you know. I won't have any problems at this level. Hmm, Mr. Gao, you might think I'm bragging, but even if you flew at the speed of a fighter jet, I'd be perfectly fine.}

Kita Ikuyo answered very seriously. Perhaps realizing that no matter what she said or did, things wouldn't change, her tone was noticeably more relaxed than before, and she was less reserved in her conversation with Takami.

Okay, then let me test the limits of this blessing.

The next moment, Kita Ikuyo's vision began to blur.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Hai had covered dozens of meters, which was clearly just Gao Hai's initial adaptation process. Then, his speed more than doubled, covering a distance of over a hundred meters in a second, giving Kita Ikuyo the feeling of being pulled along on an airplane.

But this is not the end, because Gao Hai activated the power of the berserk blessing, trying to further increase the movement speed of this blessing by strengthening his body.

bang——

A loud bang echoed through the air, causing passersby to look up in confusion, only to see a clear blue sky.

On the rooftop of a skyscraper, Takami had already released the power of the blessing and turned to look at Kita Ikuyo, who was not in good condition and was spinning in the air beside him.

Are you alright?

Gao Hai asked cautiously.

{No...it's nothing. What exactly happened just now?}

It took Kita more than ten seconds to recover before he couldn't help but ask.

The intense acceleration she felt in that instant was something the girl would likely never forget for a long time. If Gao Hai hadn't stopped in time, and if she hadn't taken some precautions, she felt her consciousness might have been thrown out of the clone and she would have fainted on the spot.

{I tested the effects of the two blessings amplifying each other, and it seems that [Form of Origin] enhances the Berserk Blessing even more than I expected. I'll have to be more careful when using this blessing in the future.}

As he said this, Gao Hai lowered his head and looked down at Shuchiin High School.

That's right, just like the plot often seen in anime series, Kaguya, Chika, and the others are currently attending classes at school. Chika, who had arranged for Takami to come for special training, even went to a private sports field at the school to wait for Takami alone.

On another note, Chika spent the entire night at my house yesterday, and this morning she took the day off to accompany me to the market to discuss Kita Ikuyo's situation with Ichiri, Nanami, and Koga Itsuki. Then, shortly after she went back to class, she messaged me asking me to come over and help. So... where did she find the time to break her dog's bones? And when did she manage to damage the wall in the house?

Ultimately, while the buffs from the [Sacrifice Game] aren't particularly significant when facing the supernatural, they do enhance physical abilities while ensuring the player's adaptability to these enhancements. Whether it's Takami, Kaguya Maki, or even the less experienced Miko Ai, none of them have ever experienced any damage due to the physical enhancements. Come to think of it, the only time Miko seems to have accidentally broken a faucet at home was when she did, and nothing like that has happened since.

By this time, Gao Hai had vaguely realized what this playful girl was planning.

However, he didn't say much. He simply jumped down from the skyscraper, which was over thirty stories high, and landed steadily on the ground. Then, using the power of etherealization, he passed directly through the wall and arrived at the small stadium. He then quickly spotted Chika, who had changed into light training clothes and was sitting on the ground with her back to him, tying her hair up.

"Ah Hai, come help me with this."

Because of the blessing of teleportation, even though Gao Hai was in a state of nothingness, Chika still knew of his arrival. Therefore, the girl did not move at all and spoke very calmly.

"So how should we train?"

Gao Hai released his ethereal state, and while asking questions, he walked forward and naturally pinched Chika's long pink hair, tying it into a single ponytail.

"Hehehe, of course this kind of thing should be left to Commander Hai to consider. I'm your soldier now, you know~"

The giggling girl stood up, turned around and said to Gao Hai, her youthful and beautiful body bouncing with each step.

"Alright, what is it? If you don't behave, I might bully you."

As Gao Hai spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Qianhua's nose.

"Hmm~ So, Ah Hai, how are you going to bully me?"

As Chika spoke, she grasped Takahashi's outstretched hand, opened her small mouth, and gently took one of his fingers into her mouth. Then, maintaining this position, she raised her head and gazed at Takahashi with her large, watery blue eyes.

For Gao Hai and Qian Hua, this way of getting along is obviously perfectly normal.

Although it's said that there's now a third wheel always by Ahai's side, Qianhua can't see or feel her. Besides, she seems to be doing it on purpose. Ahai himself is too thick-skinned to notice anything; he wouldn't mind if a thousand people were watching him. Anyway, they're not doing anything shameful, and Ahai has never minded showing off these little interactions between couples.

Therefore, Kita Ikuyo, who was unnoticed from behind, slowly began to realize that something was wrong and frowned.

She suddenly had a feeling that it might have been a big mistake that she hadn't passed out during Gao Hai's super-accelerated flight.

Interlude 3-47: Fujiwara Chika's Little Trick and a Girl's Desperate Cry

"Ugh, it's still a bit hard to control..."

"Ahai, could you support my waist a little? That way... this pressure should be about right..."

"In that case, most of the problem can be solved. Hehe, thanks a lot, Ahai."

If you only listened to the sounds, you probably wouldn't notice anything strange. But Kita Ikuyo clearly saw that the two of them were almost completely pressed together. It looked like Chika was having Takami help her with some kind of practice, but this level of closeness... wasn't it just suggestive?

"Hey-"

With a light leap, Qianhua fell into Gao Hai's arms.

"Well……"

She hopped a few times on the ground with her small feet, and then cracked the ground with a soft "crack".

"what!"

She made another large leap, turned in mid-air, and then landed.

However, before Qianhua could even land on the ground, Gao Hai caught her, preventing her feet from actually touching the ground.

After all, just by looking at her, it was clear that she hadn't managed to control the force of her landing. If she had been allowed to fall, there would definitely have been at least two craters in the ground.

"Hmm, it's still not quite working."

After being caught, the girl lay down in Gao Hai's arms, her brows furrowed, and her expression looked somewhat dejected.

"Are you actually planning to dance with this range of motion?"

Gao Hai had already noticed something amiss and realized what the real reason Qianhua had asked him to come and provide "tutoring" might be.

I initially thought she was just making excuses to get close, but now it seems she really has something in mind.

"Does Ahai know about the sports meet?"

Because of her height, Chika, whose legs were completely dangling in the air after being hugged, swung her little feet and looked up at Takahashi, asking him a question.

"I've heard something about it. They say Shuchiin Academy is going to hold a sports meet soon. Are you going to dance?"

Gao Hai pondered for a moment, then remembered that the reason only Chika accompanied him to the [market] this morning, and the others did not come, was because the school sports meet was approaching, and Kaguya Maki had some related matters to attend to.

That being said... in a sports meet like this, with the physical abilities of these players, going up there would just be bullying them, right?

And, considering those simple basic dance steps we just talked about, cheerleading?

"Hehe, I've been chosen to be the cheerleading coach for the school sports meet. So, how about it? Do you want to come watch me cheerlead?

Qianhua laughed, reached out and hooked her arm around Gao Hai's neck, and swayed against him a few times.

She's going to go cheerleading...

Gao Hai was silent for a moment. He could imagine how wonderful it would be to see the young, beautiful, and well-proportioned Qianhua leading a group of girls in a cheerleading dance. However, hmm, there was something slightly unsettling about it—wearing revealing cheerleading outfits and dancing in front of a group of men. Yeah, no matter how he thought about it, it just didn't feel right. Was he being too possessive?
