I loaded the dream game

Are you still talking about this?

Shana gave the boy a displeased look... She would never be teased in the same way a second time.

but……

Even though the proposal was a joke, the boy actually handed the world into his hands.

Shana suddenly felt that the ring on her hand became heavy.

"What should I do?" A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Helping the boy manage the world or something... This responsibility is too heavy, and she is not sure if she can do it well.

"If you really don't know, just keep the status quo." Xia Zhi gently stroked her hair and comforted her:

"What I'm giving you is not a burden, but a power... In fact, even if you accidentally destroy the world, you can easily go back and start over with the authority I've given you."

"I wouldn't go that far!" Shana said with puffed cheeks... breaking things, in his heart, was he such a tactless person?

However, after the boy's interruption, her emotions did ease a lot, at least she was no longer so anxious. Is this also one of his advantages?

"By the way, were you really going to agree to me just now?" Xia Zhi asked after thinking for a while.

Shana's expression froze when she heard that, and she turned her head away with a red face: "No, no..."

is it?

Looking at the girl in his arms with a red face who dared not look at him again, Xia Zhi did not continue to ask, but looked at her and said softly:

“Shana…”

"Ok?"

"Can we do it again?"

"……Um."

Shana blushed, grasped the hem of her skirt tightly with her little hands, and nodded gently.

Without the restraint of the Command Spell, Xia Zhi took the initiative this time. After getting the girl's permission, he lowered his head again...

It was unknown how much time had passed before the two separated again.

Even though she had this experience once, Shana still couldn't get used to it. She panted slightly, blushed and lowered her head, not wanting the boy to see her expression.

For Shana, this is perhaps the most intimate action.

But for the Summer Solstice, this is far from enough.

So, he gently embraced the girl and brought her to her own room in the house.

Then, in front of Shana's bewildered eyes, he gently fell backwards with her body...

Chapter 685 Today, Only You and I

Maybe it was because I hadn’t slept for two days in a row, but I slept particularly comfortably on Xia Zhi.

When he woke up again, the sky outside was still bright, as if it was still morning.

Xia Zhi yawned, raised his head and looked around.

Although no one had lived here for a long time, cleaning was a simple matter for him. However, because he took all his things with him when he left last time, the house looked a little empty. It seemed that he needed to buy some furniture.

"Woo..."

As if awakened by his actions, the girl in his arms moved her body in dissatisfaction and made a cute whimper.

Hearing the voice, Xia Zhi lowered his head, looked at the cute girl sleeping in his arms, and couldn't help but gently kiss her hair.

As the girl fell asleep, her hair returned to its original soft black color after the power dissipated.

No matter what color it is, it looks great.

Recalling what he experienced "yesterday", the girl's hair was in two different states, black and red, Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

How should I put it... It's a different kind of experience, being able to change form or something.

It was as if she had entered the second stage, but in reality, the girl, as a human, was simply too exhausted and had to enter the "Flaming Eyes" state.

If it was the Shana of the past, she would probably never have thought that there would come a day when she would use her power for such "improper" things, right?

It should be said that for her own sake, the girl also gave in and compromised a lot.

As Xia Zhi thought about it, he felt even more fond of the girl in his arms and couldn't help but hug her tighter.

“Hmm, uh…”

As if she couldn't breathe, the girl frowned uncomfortably, then slowly opened her eyes.

"…Summer Solstice?"

Her eyes were somewhat dazed as she called out the name of the young man in front of her.

"Good morning, Shana."

Xia Zhi greeted her.

"...!!?"

The girl gradually came back to her senses and seemed to recall what happened before. Her whole face immediately turned red. She subconsciously wanted to push Xia Zhi away, but Xia Zhi, who had predicted this, blocked her lips.

She opened her eyes slightly, then her body softened again.

"...You are...too cunning." After a long time, Shana panted slightly, looked at the boy and complained softly.

"Isn't it normal for couples to give each other a morning kiss?" Xia Zhi said.

She doesn't know such common sense.

Shana thought to herself, then was slightly stunned.

Wait, good morning kiss?

She turned her head and looked out the window. The sky was clear and sunny. Judging from the direction of the sun, it seemed that it was indeed morning.

but……

If I remember correctly, although it felt like a long time had passed subjectively, it was still daytime outside before I fell asleep.

Could it be that I slept all day?

She looked at the boy for confirmation.

"Although I slept for a long time, it was only more than eight hours."

Xia Zhi's words confirmed her suspicions.

Come to think of it, the situation "yesterday" was also very abnormal. Although she didn't have the mind and energy to pay attention to the specific time at that time, her years of combat experience allowed her to roughly feel that at least a dozen hours should have passed.

However, even though it felt like so much time had passed, the sky outside showed no sign of getting dark, just like it is now.

and……

Only then did Shana notice that the surroundings... were they too quiet?

From that moment on, apart from the conversation between her and the boy, no other sound could be heard, not even the sound of cars and wind outside the window.

She was not unfamiliar with this phenomenon, and could even say that she was very familiar with it.

"...Seal it?"

"It's not that kind of thing." Xia Zhi shook his head in denial.

Although the sealed world is still, it does not hinder the normal flow of time in the outside world.

But what he did was actually make time almost stand still.

In fact, judging from the subjective feeling of time alone, the summer solstice should have long passed the time point for leaving this world.

However, at this moment, on the task panel of the dream game, the countdown for [jump to the next stage] stopped at [20 hours, 28 minutes and 37 seconds], and there was no sign of a decrease after a long time.

This was actually something Xia Zhi had discovered a long time ago.

It was as if he had stayed in Kaguya's ability for an unknown period of time, but after coming out, he had to wait until several days later for the Thursday dream copy to refresh again.

In other words, the dream game calculates time according to the passage of time in the objective world, rather than his personal subjective time.

After knowing the principle, it is very simple to "extend" the stay time. Whether it is Kaguya's "Eternity and Moment", or Shubi's time acceleration, or simply thinking acceleration, similar effects can be achieved.

Therefore, Xia Zhi used his authority as the only god to simulate Kaguya's ability and created such a nearly static world.

"So don't worry I'll leave."

Xia Zhi lowered his head, gently placed his forehead against the girl's forehead, looked into her eyes that were so close to him, and said softly:

"In this world where there is only you and me, we have lots of time and can go to lots of places."

You don't have to think about your own responsibilities or care about what others think.

Just being Shana, being the girl he liked, enjoying the "honeymoon" time he created for her.

　(Okay, okay) Be it traveling, having fun, or just resting when you are tired.

Do all the things you want to do, expect and yearn for.

If once is not enough, try twice

Or, it doesn't matter if you do nothing.

"I will always be by your side until you get bored."

Xia Zhi hugged the girl again, stroked her soft black hair, and whispered in her ear:

"Please take care of me from now on, Shana."

"……Um."

Shana showed a gentle smile on her face, hugged him tightly, rested her head on his chest, and whispered:

"But I hope you won't be so decisive."

...Because, as long as it's you, I will probably never get tired of it.

She thought this silently in her heart.

……West.

Chapter 686 Xia Zhi: What should I do if my brother cheats on me?

In that almost still space and time, although time is stagnant, it does not mean that they can only stay in the daytime.

After all, even though the Earth isn't moving, they can follow time zones, right?

Whether it's morning, dusk, or night...

They can "experience" a full day in a few hours, or experience the same dusk for a month.

Whether it is the icy and snow-covered polar regions, the glaciers on the plateau, or the rural fields in the early morning, they have settled in almost every corner of the world.

No one knew how long the two of them stayed in that nearly stagnant space and time, and Xia Zhi himself did not deliberately remember such things.

In the end, Xia Zhi was driven out by the girl.

Just as Shana herself said, she was far from being bored with him, but she also knew that she couldn't force the boy to stay with her all the time, and she was already very satisfied to be able to spend so much time with him.

Besides, even though it was just a moment for other people, but... we can't really keep the world still like that, right?

So, even though she was still a little reluctant, she still deliberately put on a stern face and drove the boy back... Of course, the consequence of this rare display of majesty was that the girl was carried back to the temporary wooden house by Xia Zhi with a scream... and then another check-in point was left on the map.

343...

Since Haruno and Suwako, the heroines of the two copies, appear at the same time, it means that the dream game has merged the two copies into the same stage.

Then, according to the stage rules summarized before, the copy world of the next stage should be the copy where I met Kaguya at the beginning.

However, that copy world has been integrated with reality.

So, will I return to the "past" again?

Or……
