I loaded the dream game

The floor of the house was very flat, and the wheelchair would have no problem moving inside. However, when they arrived at the entrance, they encountered a little trouble, after all, there was a small step at the entrance.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and amid the girl's soft exclamation, he lifted the wheelchair a little higher and carried it onto the stairs.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, you are so strong." Nogi Sonoko couldn't help but sigh when she saw the young man picked up her and her wheelchair so easily.

This amount of strength is nothing. After all, the girl is very light. Even with a wheelchair, she is not that heavy. A normal adult can easily carry her.

Xia Zhi pushed the girl into the house while thinking...Since she was in a wheelchair, she didn't need to change her shoes.

"Xiazhi, she is...?"

Mio, who came out of the kitchen, saw the girl being pushed in by Xia Zhi and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"The operator who called us this morning." Xia Zhi replied.

Nogi Sonoko blinked and accepted the title.

"I am the person in charge of connecting with you... I am your exclusive operator."

She explained it to Mio again with bright smiles on her faces, as if this was something worth being happy about.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something and paused for a moment.

"Ah, it's not quite right to say that I'm specialized in this, because I took this job on myself."

She said a little embarrassed.

On the other side, Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to the girl's words, but was paying attention to another thing.

Originally, he planned to carry the girl from the wheelchair to sit on the sofa, but after careful observation, he found that the girl actually had several elastic bands tied around her body, fastening her limbs and body to the wheelchair underneath her.

In other words, she was not "sitting" in the wheelchair, but was fixed on it... Obviously, if this was not the case, she probably wouldn't be able to do even the simplest action of "sitting".

"Is there really no problem with this?"

Xia Zhi looked at her and asked, "Your current physical condition is not good, right?"

Rather, it is very bad.

Even without relying on the memory of the "original work", Xia Zhi could perceive that the girl in front of him named "Nogi Sonoko" was in very bad physical condition. Not only were her limbs paralyzed and her right eye blind, but many of her internal organs, including the heart, had stopped functioning.

If it happened to an ordinary person, this would be an "injury" that could basically be a death sentence. It doesn't look like the person would be able to run around out of the intensive care unit.

However, the girl shook her head.

"it does not matter."

There was a smile on her face

"Because of me, you can't die."

"..."

Although she didn't know what happened, Mio could hear the heaviness in the girl's words and couldn't help but lean towards Xia Zhi.

"Summer Solstice..."

Xia Zhi patted her hands gently.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the girl and asked:

"Want to stay for dinner?"

"Okay!"

Although the suggestion was completely unrelated to the previous topic, Nogi Sonoko immediately followed the boy's words, smiled happily, and agreed without hesitation.

……

"Woo woo! Eat this!"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she puffed her cheeks and spoke incoherently.

"Swallow what's in your mouth first."

Xia Zhi said this helplessly, picked up the cup of soup next to him, and handed the straw to her.

Nogi Sonoko blinked her eyes, put the straw in her mouth obediently, sucked it in small sips, and calmed down.

The girl was clearly here for serious business, but somehow it felt like a family gathering, and it didn't seem like they had just met for a short time.

But no one present thought there was anything wrong, and naturally no one said anything.

“Uh…”

After eating and drinking her fill, the girl let out a satisfied moan.

"Thank you for the treat~" She thanked him, and then couldn't help but sigh: "...I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time, Mr. Xia Zhi is really amazing."

By the way, Xia Zhi finally cooked the dinner himself, after all, he couldn't keep the guests waiting for too long.

"With your status, you can eat whatever food you want, right?" Xia Zhi said nonchalantly as he cleaned up the dishes and handed them to Mio beside him.

"But it doesn't feel like home at all," Nogi Sonoko replied.

What is that taste, and why can’t I taste it?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, shook his head and looked at the girl.

"Well, let's get on with the topic."

he asked aloud.

"Why did you ask us not to get involved in the fight this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Nogi Sonoko put away the smile on her face, as if she had finally become serious, and shook her head slightly.

"To be precise, I hope you won't use your strength."

As she said this, she looked at the silver-haired girl behind Xia Zhi, paused for a moment, and asked softly:

"Sister, and Mr. Xiazhi...you are elves, right?"

.......

Chapter 873: World Changes Caused by Elves

"Spirit...spirit?"

Mio tilted her head slightly when she heard the girl's words.

Having come into this world with a blank slate and having never been exposed to related concepts, she had no idea what this word meant. She could only understand it based on the human definition of "elf" that she knew.

...a cute flying spiritual being or spirit, or a god in a religious concept.

But these two points don't match up with either her or Xia Zhi?

Besides, she already had a conclusion in her mind about who she was.

Mio shook her head slightly:

"I'm Mio."

She could tell that the girl was not referring to the name, but what she answered was more than just the name.

"I see...Mio-sister."

Nogi Sonoko changed her words with a sigh and looked at the boy beside her.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "If you like, just call me Brother Xia Zhi. I can bear it."

"Okay~" Although she was a little confused about his words, Nogi Sonoko still agreed with a smile.

The girl seemed to really like the name that brought her closer.

"So, what did you mean by that?"

Xia Zhi did not deny the girl's speculation for the time being, and continued the previous topic and asked

Upon hearing this, Nogi Sonoko also drew her attention back.

"You are using a power called 'spiritual power', right?"

she said softly.

After thinking about it, considering Mio's confusion about "elves" just now, she seemed to be worried that her description was too vague, so she added:

"It's the power that Mio-nee used yesterday to create clothes in an instant with a 'woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

"It should be 'swoosh', right?" Xia Zhi corrected her.

"Eh? Is that so?" Nogi Sonoko blinked...she still felt that her description was more appropriate.

Mio tilted her head in confusion.

When I was condensing the clothes yesterday, besides the light, did it make any strange sounds?

On the other side, after discussing with the girl for a while and finally deciding on the "correct" onomatopoeia, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he guessed, the people in this world indeed noticed his and Mio's existence from what happened yesterday.

Although Mio herself is not clear about it, he knows very well that the so-called "elves" refer to beings like Mio.

But this also means that...

"Have you seen other elves?" Xia Zhi looked at the girl and asked.

"......Yeah." Nogi Sonoko nodded slightly.

"Who is it?" Xia Zhi became even more curious.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this."

However, Nogi Sonoko shook her head.

As if she was worried that the boy might misunderstand her, she quickly added:

"Ah, it's not that I don't want to say it, but... this is her own request."

"..."

Your own request?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

This would explain why the girl acted like she knew them so well.

That was not an understanding of oneself, but a familiarity with beings called elves like Mio.

According to the girl, other elves had already come to this world before they came to this copy world.

...No, that's not right. Xia Zhi shook his head.

In the setting of the dream game, the copy world is generated and opened according to one's own choices. It should be impossible for someone to enter the copy world earlier than the protagonists himself and Mio.

That should be another situation.

Xia Zhi recalled that he had experienced similar things before.

In Xia Zhi's copy, Xia Zhi, who was the heroine together with Xiao Xia Zhi, did not come to the same timeline as him, but fell into the "future" timeline.

If this is the case, it means that when he and Mio came to this world, other elves also came to this world and fell into an earlier timeline...

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking about this, the girl's voice came to his ears again.

"Brother Xiazhi and Sister Mio, can I ask you for a favor?"

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and saw Nogi Sonoko staring at him seriously. She said in a voice that was completely different from her previous lively tone and contained a hint of pleading:

"Please, no matter what, do not use your spiritual power anymore."

……

Because they stayed for an extra meal and talked for a long time, the meeting lasted much longer than the girl had originally expected.

By the time the conversation ended, the sky outside had completely darkened.

"It's been a while since I played outside for so long."

Looking at the stars in the night sky, Nogi Sonoko couldn't help but sigh.

So in your opinion, you are here just for fun?

While Xia Zhi was complaining in his heart, he pushed the girl's wheelchair and took her out of the house, where he found the witch who had been waiting outside.

Before leaving, Nogi Sonoko seemed to remember something and turned back to look at him.
