I loaded the dream game

As if responding to the invitation before the summer solstice, the girl took a sip of the milk tea in her hand, looked at him and continued to ask:

"So, what should we do next?"

"Of course, I have to prepare first."

"For example?" The elf girl tilted her head slightly.

"sleep."

The answer Xia Zhi gave was irrelevant to the current topic, but not surprising.

After all, it was already very late at night. Although the "end of time" was not far away, it was not so urgent that I had to work overtime all night.

Xia Zhi, who never works overtime, thought to himself.

Before that, though.

He looked at the petite girl sitting in his arms and fell into deep thought.

Where should she sleep tonight?

.......

Chapter 962 The morning before the journey begins

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up in a dull and oppressive mood.

"…Mio?"

Feeling the extra weight on his body, the first figure that came to his mind was the figure of the silver-haired girl.

But Xia Zhi quickly realized that it was not the right one, both in terms of size and feel.

Xia Zhi opened his eyes and saw a cute face very close to him, sleeping with eyes closed.

“…It’s Cong Yun.”

Then he remembered.

Last night, a separate room was originally arranged for the girl.

But just when he had made everything and returned to his room to be intimate with Mio before going to bed, the girl knocked on the door and walked in, saying that she must sleep with the boy.

Naturally, Xia Zhi's first reaction was to refuse.

"Why can she?"

Cong Yun looked at Mio on the bed and expressed such doubts

How should Xia Zhi explain this? He couldn't just say "because she is my girlfriend"? What if she followed suit and said "then I want to be your girlfriend too"?

…Mioka is right next to me.

Helplessly, after seeking Mio's consent, Xia Zhi still let her stay... After all, it was not the first time that she slept with him in her arms like this.

It's just that I feel a little bit regretful.

Xia Zhi thought about it and looked towards the place where the girl had been lying last night, and happened to meet a pair of deep blue eyes.

...So you're already awake.

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was staring at him, Xia Zhi wondered how long she had been staring at him.

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Mio shook her head and said nothing.

Although there was no obvious emotion in her blue eyes as clear as the sea, I could feel that she was feeling the same as I was.

Xia Zhi rubbed her head as comfort and compensation

Mio narrowed her eyes slightly, and after enjoying it for a moment, she showed an unsatisfied expression.

"not enough……"

What should I do?

Xia Zhi looked down at Cong Yun in his arms.

As if because he was by her side, the girl closed her eyes, her mouth slightly open, her body rising and falling slightly with her breathing, and she looked like she was sleeping particularly soundly.

He probably won't wake up for a while, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and carefully pushed away her hands that were wrapped around him, and held Mio in his arms.

Mio's body stiffened slightly, her cheeks flushed, but she did not refuse. After enjoying the boy's hug for a moment, she blushed and huddled into the quilt...

……

It was a long time later when Xia Zhi walked out of the room.

"Good morning, teacher~"

Looking at the boy who walked into the living room yawning, Dongxiang, who had just come out of the kitchen, smiled and greeted him happily.

"It's Kouji... Is the body okay now?"

"Thanks to the teacher, I have completely recovered."

Togo did not show any special reaction to the boy's address, as if he had tacitly accepted the boy's address.

"Where's Sister Mio?"

Noticing that the silver-haired girl who always appeared beside the teacher was not there at this moment, Tougou asked in confusion.

"It will probably take a while before he gets up." Xia Zhi replied.

"That's right..."

Dongxiang nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

"Xiao Yuan is still staying in bed... Teacher, did you guys sleep very late last night?"

Although she did go to bed very late, the reason why Mio hasn't gotten up yet is not because of this.

Xia Zhi thought about it and looked around the living room, but didn't see anyone else.

"Youna, where are the two sisters Feng and Shu?"

"There aren't many ingredients left in the refrigerator... Today is the last day of the holiday, and they said they were going to hold a big celebration banquet for the teacher, so they went out early to prepare." The girl replied.

That means eating at the table of the gods, right?

Xia Zhi concluded in his heart.

After all, this is the only thing we can celebrate... By comparison, if we were celebrating humanity's escape from the crisis of extinction, it would be a little too early.

Oh, by the way, we can also celebrate the rebirth of the “sacred tree”, but they probably don’t know about this yet.

"By the way, someone from Amnesty just called and said they wanted to ask when the teacher would be available. It seems they were planning to pay a visit or something."

Dongxiang seemed to remember something and continued

"But because you were still sleeping at the time, teacher, I refused."

After saying this, she glanced at the boy with some worry, as if she was afraid that he would blame her for acting on her own initiative.

Xia Zhi wanted to praise her for doing a good job.

After all, if he was interrupted again, and because of such an insignificant matter, not only him, but even Mio would feel very angry.

"From now on, my home phone will be in your care."

He walked up to the girl and touched her head as a reward, and gave her a very important task.

"Eh? Oh..."

Tou Xiang's cheeks turned red. Although this position was very strange, she felt a little dizzy after being touched by the young man, but she finally nodded and agreed.

"Well, um... breakfast will be ready soon, teacher, please wait a moment."

After coming to her senses, she shyly broke free from the boy's hands, left these words and ran back to the kitchen with a red face.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, you are really good at dealing with girls."

Just as Xia Zhi was watching the girl's back as she left, a familiar voice with an exclamatory tone came from behind him.

"After all, we are going to deal with girls next. How can we do this without any experience?"

Xia Zhi said, turning his head to look at the girl in red and black dress who appeared behind him at some point, and tilted his head slightly:

"By the way, do you usually wear this spiritual outfit?"

"Ah, Mr. Xia Zhi, do you want to see me in casual clothes?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked with a smile.

Speaking of which, Xia Zhi was a little curious. When the gods were still here, he saw her wearing this spiritual outfit and using the shadow-like ability... How did she manage to use spiritual power without being discovered by the gods?

However, for an elf girl who has managed to survive under the attention of the gods and has not been found until now, it is normal for her to have some experience and tricks of her own, right?

He shook his head, not paying too much attention, and changed the subject and asked:

"How was your rest last night?"

"Because I wasn't assigned a room, I have to sleep on the street."

Didn't you leave on your own?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room.

...No wonder Kuang San came over at this time, it’s almost the time we agreed on last night.

I had originally planned to reserve more time for preparation in the morning, and if Togo and the others were curious, I could explain it to them...but I accidentally delayed it a little longer.

On the other side, seeing the boy's actions, Tokisaki Kurumi also put away the smile on her face.

"Are you ready to start?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhi nodded slightly.

After all, there is no point in dragging this matter on... For them who are in this period of time, I will just disappear for a moment, right?

As for other matters, I will discuss them after I come back, he thought to himself.

"But, we have to wait a little longer."

When Tokisaki Kurumi heard this, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Well..."

Xia Zhi turned around and looked towards his room.

...At least, we should wait for Cong Yun and the others to wake up first, right?

.......

Chapter 963: Heading to the Beginning End

Xia Zhi has actually always been concerned about one thing.

If the reward for the main quest after the reset has increased compared to before because the difficulty of completing the quest has also increased accordingly, then the rest can be understood, but why has the reward for the protection quest in the last fixed link also increased accordingly?

His sight fell on the last main task.

[Main Mission 4: Protect the lives of all heroines until they leave the dungeon]

In the main quests in the dream dungeons before, the name of the heroine was always specified... Of course, the dungeon with Xia Zhi might be because the two Xia Zhi were the same person.

All, meaning plural.

Could it be that... similar to the time with Natsuori, the dream game treated the other elves, including Mio, as heroines in this mission?

"Brother Xia Zhi?"

The girl's voice pulled Xia Zhi back from his thoughts. He raised his head and met a pair of light golden eyes filled with doubt.

"It's Yuanzi. When did you come here?" Xia Zhi asked, touching the girl's head.

"I just stood here, after all, it's such an important matter." Nogi Sonoko said with a frown.

I set the alarm specifically to get up at this time and rush here. I haven't gotten much sleep.

Brother Xia Zhi doesn't pay any attention to her at all.

…But the girl thought about it again.
