I loaded the dream game

However, I have never met her before, so she should not know my existence.

In other words...

"Is it because of Mio?"

"I don't understand what you are saying." The girl tilted her head and said with a smile.

Seeing that she seemed unwilling to answer this question, Xia Zhi did not care and continued to ask

"Then why is it that Miss Elf is not willing to meet me until now?"

"Girls need to maintain a certain sense of mystery in order to be attractive enough, right?"

"I think you're attractive enough."

"Ah, I'll take this as a compliment~"

Kuang San said with an unchanged smile

"But you're holding a girl in your arms. Is it really okay to praise other girls like this in front of her?"

Xia Zhi lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms, only to find that she was lying on his chest.

"...zzz"

With the sound of gentle breathing, the girl's body rose and fell slightly, and she fell asleep peacefully with her eyes closed.

...She can fall asleep even at this time. She's worthy of being called Sonoko.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

But, it’s definitely because you’ve been up all night and are extremely tired, right?

“…Heh, heh.”

As if she had seen something interesting, Kuang San let out an ambiguous laugh that was different from before, and her expression also became one of interest.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

Xia Zhi ignored her and gently stroked the girl's soft long hair.

"...?"

Nogi Sonoko seemed to be in a light sleep. She was awakened by his movements, rubbed her eyes and raised her head.

"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep again... What were you talking about just now? I didn't hear anything at all."

"It's okay, just continue sleeping." Xia Zhi comforted her.

Yuanzi said "Oh", put her little head back on his chest, found a suitable and comfortable position, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Not long after, her breathing became smooth again.

This speed of falling asleep must be the envy of many insomnia patients, right?

"This kid likes you very much." Seeing this, Kuang San sighed.

..... .... ...

Xia Zhi did not comment. He gently patted the girl's back to lull her to sleep, and then asked:

"You and Sonoko seem to be very familiar with each other?"

"Ah, we are old acquaintances."

Kurumi replied.

"So, you will help them go back to the past and save their friends?" Xia Zhi looked up at her and asked.

"Not really."

The elf girl gave a negative answer.

"I didn't think about saving her friend."

Kuang San narrowed her eyes slightly and continued

"Rather, I had expected such an ending."

She didn't seem to want to continue this topic. Seeing that the boy was about to ask more questions, she changed the subject and said

"Well, let's get back to the point."

"Mr. Xia Zhi, aren't you curious about why I took the initiative to find you today?"

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly: "Are you here to celebrate the fact that Mio and I have made an engagement?"

"Oh, have you gotten to that point already?"

"Not really, but it will be soon."

"That's really congratulations."

Kuang San said, bringing the topic back to the topic

"But I'm sorry, although it is related to you, it is not this matter."

The girl put away the smile on her face, looked him in the eyes seriously and said:

"In fact, I want you to...save the world."

……Several.

Chapter 936: Not the One Who Saves the World

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard Kuang San's words, and carefully looked at the girl in front of him, and asked:

"You want to save the world?"

"Any questions?"

"To repay a favor?"

"I don't remember them doing me any favors."

The girl gave this answer.

"Besides, even if there was, they have already been paid off over the years... It's better to say that they owe me a lot of favors."

Xia Zhi wasn’t quite sure what the elf girl had done during these years in this world, but it sounded like she had helped Da Shem a lot?

Come to think of it, it is true. Putting aside other things, just helping Sonoko and Togo go back to the past, even if it failed in the end, is a huge favor, right?

While he was thinking about this, he heard the girl's voice continue to come from his ear.

“Five Four Three” “Mr. Xia Zhi, you should already know that time is running out in this world, right?”

Kuang San turned her eyes slightly, looked at the slowly rising sun in the distance, and said with a sigh:

"If possible, I've thought about leaving everything here behind and returning to my original world. After all, I don't want to die... But unfortunately, it seems that I can't do it at the moment."

The target of the god is the elves. Once the four countries under the protection of the sacred tree are destroyed, she will lose her last place of shelter.

To some extent, they have a relationship where they all prosper together and suffer together.

"…How is it? Is this reason enough?"

She turned around, looked at the boy and asked with a smile.

The reason is sufficient, after all, the interests are the same.

but……

"What's the method?" Xia Zhi asked, tilting his head slightly.

Since the girl took the initiative to ask for their help in saving the world, regardless of what she wanted to do, she should have already thought of a general plan, right?

In response to his question, the girl gave the answer:

"In order to save this world, the power of the Origin Spirit is indispensable."

澪？

Xia Zhi frowned slightly

"You want her to fight against the gods?"

"Wrong answer~"

Kurumi deepened the smile on her face and replied.

"The Origin Spirits are certainly powerful, but we still don't know the power of the gods. It would not be a wise decision to rashly put our only hope into possible danger."

Rather... she was not only unaware of the power of the gods, she was also equally unaware of the power of the Origin Elves. Based on this, it was certainly impossible for her to formulate a plan that relied entirely on the possibility that "the Origin Elves could definitely defeat the gods."

"And..." She paused deliberately.

"and?"

Hearing the boy's question, Kuang San continued meaningfully: "Even if we can really kill the gods, it won't completely solve the problem."

"..."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly.

He found that he seemed to have been slacking off a little too much recently. While waiting for the main quest to start, he had not actively searched for useful information.

On the one hand, he has the memory of the "plot" of this world, and on the other hand...

...There's nothing I can do about it. It's addictive to slack off. It's fun to slack off all the time.

While making excuses for himself, Xia Zhi suddenly thought of something.

According to Sonoko, that world was not "almost" destroyed, but was "once" destroyed.

The so-called "catastrophe" is a fact that has already happened.

If the dream I had at the time came from Sonoko's memory, then this could also confirm this point.

However, the world today remains intact, the sacred tree is still alive, and people's daily lives are not affected at all, as if they are unaware of all this.

All signs indicate that the so-called "end of the world" did not actually happen.

Xia Zhi didn't think that Yuanzi had lied to him. The only possible explanation was that... the world that had been destroyed in the past had been changed.

Today's peaceful world is actually the result of changes.

And this also means

"Haven't you already saved the world once?"

Xia Zhi looked into the eyes of the girl not far away and asked.

According to Tokisaki Kurumi, the power of the Origin Spirits is necessary to save the world. However, Mio had obviously not come to this world at that time, but they actually saved that world, which is obviously inconsistent with her statement.

There is no doubt that relying on the power of the only two remaining heroes and her spirit, it is obviously impossible to compete head-on with the gods.

Otherwise, Sonoko would not have admitted that they had failed, and she would not have worried that she would be unable to protect herself, just like she was unable to protect Gin and the people in that world.

So, here comes the problem

How did they finally save the world when they were unable to fight head-on or even save a little girl?

"how did you do it?"

"Ah, thank you for thinking so highly of me... But unfortunately, I didn't do it..."

However, the elf girl gave such a negative answer.

"Let's not talk about the fact that it wasn't true salvation in my opinion... I did let them go back in time, so I can be considered an accomplice."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and continued

"But the fact that the world hasn't been destroyed isn't due to me."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned

If it wasn't her credit, then whose credit was it?

Just as he was about to continue asking, Kuang San seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.

The next moment, the air stagnated.

It is not a descriptive modification, but a literal meaning of stagnation.

The rolling waves in the distance, the floating clouds in the sky, the leaves swaying slightly on the roadside, all seemed to be frozen in stillness. Even the circling birds were suspended in mid-air, as if the time of the whole world had stopped.
