I loaded the dream game

Looking at the silver-haired girl sitting on the bench, she couldn't help but think so in her heart.

Exquisite face, fair skin, clear blue eyes, dreamy silver hair reflecting crystal luster in the sun... It seems that this flawless and beautiful girl like an elf should only appear in fantasy, making people think that she should not exist in this world.

She wasn't deliberately comparing them, but there was no doubt that even though she was also a girl, she had to admit that the girl in front of her was probably the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

"Four, six, seven" "It's not polite to stare at others."

An unfamiliar young boy's voice came from the side, waking her from her daze.

"Ah, sorry..."

The black-haired girl came back to her senses and apologized sheepishly: "My name is Togo Mimori...Um, I'm sorry that Yuna has caused you trouble."

Hearing this familiar opening remark, Yuuki Yuna on the side was slightly stunned.

Huh? Does this sentence sound familiar?

Wait, shouldn't Taromaru be the one causing the trouble?

On the other side, Xia Zhi looked at the two girls in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Yuuki Yuna, Togo Mimori... the heroes of this generation.

They were probably among those who fought against Batik that day.

However, judging from their reactions, they seemed not to recognize themselves and Mio.

Didn’t the people above tell them the information from their side?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, glanced at the orange cat hiding behind him, and then asked:

"Is it your cat?"

"Eh?" Yuuki Yuna hurriedly explained, "No, it was Taromaru who got lost, and its owner asked us to find it."

That’s right… I enjoy helping others.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and shook his head slightly:

"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."

The girl was slightly startled: "Why?"

“Who knows if you are a cat dealer?”

this……

The girl hesitated.

Indeed, although I know that I am not, from the other party's perspective, out of caution and responsibility, I cannot ignore this possibility.

But what should she do? She was troubled.

"Prove it to me?" Xia Zhi said.

"This...how do we prove it?" Yuuki Yuna asked hesitantly.

"Such as imitating a cat's movements and learning how to meow?" Xia Zhi suggested after thinking about it.

...This is obviously a prank, right?

Dongxiang Meisen, who was standing by, quickly noticed this and was about to warn him, but then he thought of something.

Touna dressed as a cat...

She stopped talking subconsciously, thought about it, and took out her cell phone from her pocket...

"But doesn't it have a name tag around its neck?" Mio asked confusedly.

I've been sabotaged, Xia Zhi thought.

I was ruined. Togo Mimori thought, feeling a little regretful.

Now that it's been exposed, there's nothing we can do.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi picked up a crab roll and waved it in front of the orange cat.

"Meow..."

The orange cat stretched out its claws to reach it, but the boy dodged it skillfully.

Then, with its expectant eyes, Xia Zhi threw the crab roll into the air.

"Meow!"

The orange cat jumped up and accurately bit the crab roll in mid-air, but it also landed right into the red-haired girl's arms as if the landing point had been calculated.

"Meow~!"

The orange cat realized that he had been tricked and struggled hard, but was held tightly by the girl.

"Thank you! My brother whose name I don't know~!"

Although he made a somewhat strange request, he is a good person, she thought to herself.

Togo Mimori also thanked the young man.

"You are welcome."

As Xia Zhi answered, his eyes fell on the wheelchair beneath her.

Dongxiang Meisen also noticed his gaze and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xia Zhi shook his head gently: "...I just remembered that I happened to meet a girl who was just like you a few days ago, and she was very likable..."

The same as me... ?

Togo Mimori thought about it, shook her head and didn't take it to heart. After all, there are so many people with mobility impairments, and she is not the only one, so it is normal to meet them by chance.

In comparison...

Her eyes fell on the silver-haired girl next to her again, and she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Sister, is this your girlfriend, sir?"

girlfriend?

Mio was slightly stunned, and the corresponding explanation emerged in her memory.

Girlfriend...refers to a female friend, or the female partner in a couple...

Couples...

She muttered to herself.

"No." Xia Zhi shook his head and answered truthfully... Although they are living together now, they are definitely not a couple.

Isn’t it?

Dongxiang Meisen was slightly surprised, then seemed to realize something and his expression became serious.

"I understand."

"Please keep going, I will support you!"

What do you understand?

After watching the girl say this, she thanked Yuuki Yuna and left together. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"Summer Solstice..."

Mio's voice came from the side. Xia Zhi turned around and met a pair of blue eyes that were close to him.

"What did she mean by come on?"

The girl asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

“It means encouragement.”

Xia Zhi answered.

Of course I know about that kind of thing.

Mio wrinkled her nose and was about to say something else, but she saw that the boy had finished his lunch box, closed the lid and stood up.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

"..."

Looking at the boy's back as he left, she thought about it, then stood up and followed him.

"Speaking of which, who were you planning to buy those clothes for before Xia Zhi?" She asked curiously as she followed the boy.

"Some local specialties bought for my family."

Family member... Is it Xiazhi's sister? Mio wondered in confusion.

"By the way, this is also a gift for someone."

Xia Zhi continued to answer like this.

.......

Chapter 877 Xia Zhi starts to abduct little girls again (wrong)

amnesty

The sacred tree that is enshrined to protect people and is the object of people's faith is an organization with great control over the world of Shikoku that is closed by the barrier.

In a room under this amnesty, a young girl was placed.

It doesn't mean "living" or "residing", but literally "being placed here".

Although her body was wrapped in a hospital gown and bandages, the beautiful eyes and mouth seen through the gaps in the bandages proved that she had a very neat and delicate appearance. With her petite and lovely figure, if you saw it for the first time, you might mistake it for a doll made by a famous artist.

Worshipped by Amnesty, he is enshrined as a hero who died on the battlefield and took the last place in the gods.

Nogi Sonoko, a former hero who fought against Batik, the messenger of God who invaded Shikoku.

Now all I have to do every day is to deal with other people’s greetings and stare blankly, that’s all.

"Suqin, Daijun, and Duoke are all very energetic~"

The girl's deep eyes gazed at the elves floating around her, and she greeted them with a smile.

In other words, they exist to support the hero in battle, are closely connected to the sacred tree which is the source of the hero's power, and can protect the hero in battle and provide various kinds of help. In order to distinguish them from the elves from another world, they should be called elves.

There are three elves floating around the girl at this moment, but these are only a small part of the elves guarding the girl.

These cute little elves protect Nogi Sonoko like pets and guardian angels, but each of them symbolizes a heavy past and price.

When the hero obtains power from the sacred tree through a mechanism called "full bloom" to enhance himself and exert his maximum combat power, an additional elf will appear. The more times it "full blooms", the stronger the hero's power will be and the more elves will appear.

It sounds like a very good upgrade mechanism, but the power of the God Tree is not infinite. Rather, in order to protect humans from the hostility of the gods for hundreds of years, the God Tree has done its best.

Therefore, as the price of granting additional power, "full blossoming" requires sacrificing a part of the hero's own body functions.

In other words, the elf is a symbol of the hero's self-sacrifice.

For every additional one, the hero would permanently lose a part of his body functions.

Generally speaking, having three or four is already very serious and will have a very negative impact on your life.

However, the girl has more than twenty elves.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Nogi Sonoko sometimes thought like this.

In order to protect this world, you must fight even if it means sacrifice. Otherwise, all of humanity, including the people you love, will perish.

So, there is nothing we can do about it.

Correspondingly, because he sacrificed most of his own body functions to the Lord of the Divine Tree, and as someone who was closer to a god than anyone else, he was worshipped as a demigod to some extent, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Because of the care of the miko and female priests, even if she can't move, there will be no inconvenience in her life. In addition, Amnesty will try its best to respect her ideas and fulfill her wishes.

Apart from having to lie here every day and not being able to go out, there's nothing particularly bad about it. I'm pretty good at daydreaming, so this isn't something unbearable.

only……

Nogi Sonoko, who was staring at the floating elves in a daze, suddenly felt someone approaching.

She dismissed the elf and waited for the visitor with a bit of annoyance.

Entering the room were the priests of amnesty, dressed in white and wearing masks.
