I loaded the dream game

Sitting and listening to such boring things all day long is indeed quite tiring...

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Irena standing up and walking upstairs.

"..."

Taking his eyes off the departing girl, Hubie glanced at the untouched breakfast on the table, a hint of doubt in his eyes...

This, aren’t you going to eat it?

So how to deal with it?

Hubie's eyes fell on Eluko, who was sitting on a chair with his hands on his stomach, resting because he had eaten an extra portion of Natsuori's breakfast.

"...?"

Noticing her gaze, a question mark slowly appeared above Eluke's head.

……

Back in the room, Irena breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the soft bed, looked down at the floor in silence.

After a long silence, she seemed to be deflated, threw off her slippers, and fell back on the bed, rolling around a few times.

"Ahhhh, it's so annoying!"

Just like Xia Zhi said, it would have been better if this kind of thing hadn’t happened in the first place.

but……

Even though it was such an annoying thing, when the boy proposed to end it, she subconsciously felt resistance.

She knew that the memories of the goddess and her feelings for the boy were influencing her.

But are there any emotions involved?

Irena couldn't tell the difference anymore.

because……

The girl lying on her back on the bed pursed her lips and took out a red string from her pocket.

Looking at the red string in her hand, she recalled what the fortune teller had said. As long as she held it, she could indicate the direction and position of the person she loved.

Compared to divination, it is more like a magic tool for peeking into other people's hearts.

Irena had confirmed before that this red rope did have that ability.

In the past, no matter how many times she tried, the end result was always the same.

just this time,

After a long time, when she tried to hold one end of the red rope again, the other end of the rope did not point to her like before...

"...Tsk."

Irena clicked her tongue, put the red rope back into her pocket, sat up from the bed, reached out to take the broom that fell from the void, opened the window, jumped, and flew into the sky on the broom.

The sound of the wind whistled past my ears, and the bright sunshine shone through the clouds onto my body, bringing a warm feeling.

Walking among the white clouds that were within reach, feeling the air current blowing past her, making her coat and skirt rustle, Irena sat sideways on the broom, overlooking the city below that had shrunk countless times by the earth, and she felt her mood suddenly become much more relaxed.

By the way, Xia Zhi said he went to school, but I don’t know where his school is?

Irena thought about it and subconsciously looked down for a place that looked like a school.

But she reacted quickly.

No, I came out to relax, why would I go to see him?

She shook her head and thought to herself.

But in the end, after hesitating for a moment, she flew towards a facility below that looked like a school.

Just going to see how the students here study in class should help me understand more about the world, right?

She thought this in her mind, landed on an open space that looked like a playground, and jumped off the broom with a "whoosh".

However, ten minutes later...

"Deceived."

Irena flew out of the school depressed.

Although it was indeed a school and classes were indeed being held, after observing for a long time and finding that only girls were walking around in the school, she realized that she had come to a girls' school.

Since it's a girls' school, there naturally can't be any boys, right?

Realizing this, Irena took a quick tour of the school and then flew away on her broom.

But before leaving, she seemed to vaguely hear someone calling her name from below?

But, that's impossible, right?

· ········Request flowers··· ··

Irena thought to herself.

Although she flew into the sky in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of everyone, because Xia Zhi had reminded her before that most people in this world were ordinary people who did not know magic or had not even come into contact with such things, she deliberately cast a layer of cognitive impairment magic on herself before going out.

It is said that this magic spell was created by Hubie for some reason after he spent 0.138 seconds on it. Putting aside the time that deserves to be complained about, it is quite useful in terms of the effect. At least Irena doesn't think that ordinary people can see through the cover of this spell.

So, I must have heard it wrong?

Irena thought to herself, shook her head slightly, and flew away again on her broom.

"...?"

On the other side, looking at the girl's back that was gradually disappearing into the sky without even stopping for a moment because of her shouting, Xia Zhi tilted her head slightly in confusion.

So, what was Sister Irena doing here suddenly coming to her school?

Could it be that... I was entrusted by my brother to supervise the studies of my sister-in-law?

This thought popped up in her mind.

……

Returning to the top of the clouds, listening to the sound of the sharp wind blowing past her ears, Irena hesitated for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​visiting other schools.

So where are you going next? Are you going to visit another city?

But what if I can't find the way back? It's not always possible to be so lucky and meet someone who knows Xia Zhi.

Although she didn't mind spending the night outside, but...if she left without saying goodbye and didn't come back at night, they would be worried, right?

Besides, I don't have the currency of this world on me...

So, it’s better not to go too far for the time being.

Irena thought so.

By the way, Xia Zhi clearly said that he would buy himself a mobile phone, could it be that he forgot?

As the girl thought to herself, she raised her head and looked at the clear and transparent sky above her head.

"..."

Looking at the blue sky above her head that was not blocked by clouds, she blinked and suddenly an idea popped into her mind.

How about... going up and taking a look yourself?

……Down.

Chapter 580 "You Caught Me"

Since ancient times, human beings have been yearning for the vast sky.

That is the purest vision of the unknown and freedom from the constraints of gravity. That is why there are so many stories related to the sky in the myths created by people's imagination.

In Irena's world, flying is a very simple thing, but no one has ever heard of anyone flying into the sky.

The reason is very simple, because after all, they are still human beings, and the human body has its limits.

The higher you go, the harsher the environment becomes. The biting cold and thin air block every attempt to explore, making it a forbidden zone for all life.

Therefore, that is an unknown area that everyone yearns for, but no one has ever been to.

Yes, these are things that no one has ever recorded.

Irena thought to herself, lowered her head slightly, and fell into thought.

There are no invisible shackles; what limits people's progress is only their own bodies.

In other words, as long as you can ignore this restriction, you can continue to move forward, right?

Isn't this a very simple thing for her now?

She did what she said, Irena took a deep breath, looked back at the city below, and turned the broom. It was not in any direction of east, west, south, or north, but flew straight up to the top of the sky outside the "map".

The whistling sound of the wind kept blowing past her ears. Although it was blocked by magic, it still hurt her ears. Irene tried to increase the output of magic power, which greatly increased the speed of the broom. After it seemed to break through an invisible barrier, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter. She could no longer hear the noisy and even somewhat harsh sound of the wind.

Even so, the violent airflow did not disappear. Irena turned around and could clearly see the high-speed airflow hitting the magic in front of her, and after being compressed, it pulled out a circular condensed cloud behind her like a white skirt.

This strange phenomenon was something she had rarely seen before, so she felt it was a little novel for a moment.

But soon, she was no longer in the mood to be curious about these things.

As the altitude increased, the surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly, and even white frost began to condense on the front end of the broom.

Irena regretted not going back to put on a thick coat before deciding to come up.

However, this was not the most uncomfortable thing. As the air around her became thinner, Irena began to find it increasingly difficult to breathe, and an uncomfortable feeling of suffocation began to emerge.

Although I won't die from a mere suffocation due to the "Pseudo-Cosmic Being"'s control and correction of its own multi-dimensional space-time, this feeling is still very uncomfortable.

Irena shook her head, but she didn't give up the idea of ​​going back. After she got used to the feeling, she simply held her breath and stopped trying to breathe in vain.

There was not much air to breathe anyway, but the reduced inhalation of cold air did make my almost frozen body feel better.

Irena was thinking this in her heart, but when she raised her head again, she was suddenly stunned.

In her field of vision, the original azure blue of the sky had disappeared and began to become increasingly gray, and finally turned into a completely deep black like the night sky.

She tried to slow down, but at this altitude, even if she slowed down again, the air was so thin that it almost disappeared completely, so she couldn't hear any sound, let alone the whistling wind.

Irena lowered her head and looked at the world below. The original city had become so small that it could no longer be seen. Instead, there was a long horizon and a blue planet with a faint light and dotted with white clouds.

It's spectacular and beautiful.

Rivers, oceans, mountains, everything was within her sight, proving once again the beauty of the world.

It is this excitement and beauty that attracts her to keep traveling and exploring places she has never been to.

But on the other side...

Irena turned her head and shifted her gaze from the blue planet below to the direction behind her.

“…” She couldn’t help but fall silent.

Originally, she was expecting to see another scenery in the sky that she had never seen before.

But behind that sky covered by azure blue, there was nothing.

All you can see is a starry sky that is exactly the same as what you see at night, or only slightly clearer and brighter.

Rather, in her feeling, it was as if, except for the planet below and the sun at its edge, all other directions were a dark abyss. The countless stars seemed to be just shining dust, unable to fill this dark nothingness, giving her a feeling of infinite vastness and depth.

“…So tiny.”

This feeling inexplicably arose in her heart.

She originally thought that the world she had experienced and traveled in the past was vast enough, so vast that she might not be able to walk through it all in her lifetime. But compared to this vast expanse of darkness, even the boundless world in her impression seemed to become infinitely small.

...so lonely.

There is no sound, no light. Has this world below been floating in this dark void for countless years?

Floating quietly in this vast void, Irena felt that she had experienced that feeling to some extent.

It was cold, dark, and silent. It felt as if the connection with the world below had been severed, as if I had become an independent being, no longer able to cling to any world, and there was an abyss in all directions that was bottomless.

As she got further and further away from the planet below, the force that had been pulling her down gradually became less noticeable...

Irena had an illusion that she was not flying upwards, but falling into a bottomless black abyss.
