I loaded the dream game

"Yeah, I see."

"Then I won't go back today. Brother Xia Zhi, please comfort Sister Mio~"

What do you know?

Looking at the reply from the girl, Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"What did Sonoko say?"

Xia Zhi felt a sinking sensation on his back. Mio pressed her entire weight on him, resting her little head on his shoulder. She looked at the phone screen in his hand and asked curiously.

"She said she won't be back tonight." Xia Zhi put away his phone and replied.

It’s not right to say “come back”, because this place is not her original home, right?

Mio blinked, "That means we are the only two left at home after such a long absence."

"..."

Xia Zhi glanced at Cong Yun who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Don't you treat her as a human being?

Oh, it seems that she is not a human being either, so it’s okay.

Recalling what Sonoko had just said, Xia Zhi glanced at the silver-haired girl beside him. After thinking for a while, he pulled Mio's little hand and let her sit in his arms.

Mio did not resist and let the boy hug her body. She moved her body slightly so that she could lie more comfortably in his arms.

"...Xia Zhi, there is no need for training at all." After a moment, she sighed.

Didn't I say this a long time ago?

"¨々You are very good at dealing with girls...is it the experience you gained from me?" Mio continued.

This... isn't entirely true?

Xia Zhi thought hesitantly.

Mio slightly changed her sitting position, facing each other, sitting in Xiazhi's arms, stretching out her arms to hug his neck.

After looking at the boy's eyes for a long time, she opened her mouth slightly and said softly

"Sure enough, I still get jealous."

Seeing Xia Zhi being so close to another girl... Even though she was prepared, she still couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I can't help but think

"…It would be nice if it was just me and Xia Zhi."

Hearing the girl's words and looking at her expression at the moment, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Is she going to turn evil next and create a world that belongs only to you and me?

Mio tilted her head in confusion, "Huh? What are you talking about? How could I possibly do something like that?"

Although if you think about it carefully, that kind of world seems pretty good...but, as she said before, because of Xia Zhi's existence and their previous experiences, she actually likes this world very much.

...Besides, if I really do that, Xia Zhi will hate me, right?

No matter what, that was something she absolutely could not accept.

However, not doing it doesn't mean that her "grievance" will be in vain.

So

"Just like last time..."

She hugged the boy tighter, looked at Xia Zhi with blushing cheeks and said:

"...You have to make it up to me for the rest of the time~"

.......

Chapter 1039 "Let's Start Our Date"

Originally, Xia Zhi was planning to go out on a date with Mio again, but now it seems there is no chance.

Maybe it’s because compared to last time when it was just Sonoko, this time there were twice as many people, so the time also doubled?

The time originally reserved for the date has been completely occupied.

But Mio seems very "happy", so let her do as she pleases.

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was sleeping in his arms with her eyes closed and a slight blush still on her cheeks, Xia Zhi lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, then carefully moved her hand away and left her arms.

Looking back at the mess in the room, Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​cleaning up.

And the living room too... can we clean it up after we get back? Anyway, there won't be much time between us, and Sonoko also said she won't be back tonight, right?

Xia Zhi thought about it, changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out, went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and then changed into new clothes.

When he came out of the bathroom, he happened to run into a small figure.

"Are you awake?"

Looking at the green-haired girl who came out of the room 683 rubbing her eyes, Xia Zhi asked softly.

It shouldn't be that she was woken up by myself...such a loud noise in front didn't wake her up.

Cong Yun nodded, then shook his head, and stretched out his hands to him in a daze.

Xia Zhi felt that if she said something like "Master, hug me" at this time, it would be more lethal, but unfortunately Cong Yun didn't seem to have such a cute awareness.

He thought to himself as he held the girl in his arms and ruffled her hair.

Cong Yun yawned, put his little head on his shoulder, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes again.

Haven't you gotten enough sleep yet?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and couldn't help but think of the star god at home... Do all gods like to sleep so much?

After thinking about it, he did not wake the girl up. Instead, he just held her in his arms, turned around and walked up the stairs to the top-floor balcony which he had rarely visited since he moved into this house.

In the silent night, under the shining of the moon and the faint starlight, the whole city seemed particularly quiet. The breeze blew gently, taking away the moisture left on the body after Xiazhi just took a bath, bringing a slight coolness, making people feel particularly comfortable in this slightly hot summer night.

In addition to the two of them, there was another person who had been waiting here early in the morning and came to the balcony late at night.

"Good evening, Mr. Xiazhi~"

The time elf lady, dressed in a gorgeous black and red dress, greeted him elegantly and continued with a smile on her face:

"Today, it was really hard."

She put some emphasis on the word "hard work", and her tone seemed meaningful.

Xia Zhi pretended not to hear, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm here to keep the appointment."

The girl blinked her eyes and said, "Ah, it's really not easy. Finally it's my turn."

Where did you learn to speak this way?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Maybe I'm used to hearing it before, it seems very natural for Kaguya to refer to herself by that name, but it feels a little awkward when she says it.

"Even though he made me wait for so long, he still brought other girls to the date... Mr. Xia Zhi really doesn't understand romantic relationships." The girl said pretending to be aggrieved.

"Do you want me to take her back?" Xia Zhi asked back.

"If Mr. Xia Zhi doesn't mind, that would be great."

Even though the girl (cdbh) said so, Xia Zhi didn't take her words seriously.

Even if we bring Cong Yun back, we will just change the location from here to Cong Yun's room, right?

After all, as a means given by the dream game to return to a closed space-time singularity, Cong Yun’s power is not indispensable, but it is the most convenient and labor-saving means.

So, if what Kuang San said is true, this "date" was just for the three of us from the beginning, Xia Zhi thought.

Come to think of it, apart from Mio and the others, Kurumi is the fourth person on a "date" with me today... If Cong Yun is included, there should be five people?

...No, it doesn’t seem to be the case?

After all, although the originally agreed time was in the evening, it was actually already early morning of the next day.

When did she start waiting?

Xia Zhi shook his head, looked at the girl and said:

"Then I'll leave Cong Yun to you for a while."

"Trust an orphan to someone else?" The girl tilted her head slightly.

"Hmm, yes."

Xia Zhi simply responded according to her words.

"I don't mind, but...why don't you ask her opinion first?"

Xia Zhi followed her gaze and looked down into his arms.

Cong Yun had woken up again at some point and was blinking at him with his big eyes.

"Master...do you need Cong Yun?"

"If you're sleepy, it's okay to sleep a little longer." Xia Zhi said as he rubbed her head.

He and Kurumi were having a pretty good chat, and it wouldn't be boring if they chatted for a while longer...at least that's what he thought.

Cong Yun shook his head, broke free from his arms, and stood on the ground barefoot.

Ignoring the cold touch of the floor on her feet, she reached out and took the boy's hand.

Then, she gently placed it on her heart.

As the tree-shaped mark on the back of his hand lit up slightly, at this moment, the feeling of being connected to the entire timeline reappeared in Xia Zhi's heart, as if he and Cong Yun had become one at this moment.

"It seems that Lord Shenshu can't wait any longer."

Tokisaki Kurumi retracted her gaze, looked at the boy, and said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Xiazhi."

"Let's start our date."

.......

Chapter 1040: The Girl Standing in the Sky

When Xia Zhi opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar yet somewhat strange picture.

Familiar, because at this moment he was exactly back to the place where he left last time. Standing on a high building in the center of Shikoku and looking down, the night view of the city that was similar to that of three hundred years later but completely different came into view.

The reason why it feels a little strange is because... compared to the last time, there is a short period of time between this time and space singularity.

As for how long exactly...

"Probably... about two years?" After thinking for a while, Tohka Yatogami gave an answer.

Two years, enough time for me to go to college, Xia Zhi thought.

Like the world three hundred years later, this space-time is still isolated from the timeline and has not been affected by the events in the previous singularity.

For the people in this time and space, the world is still moving forward along its original trajectory. If you ask who "Xia Jiu" is at this time, probably no one will know.

…It should be said that apart from the shrine maidens and heroes like Hinata and Wakaba who are connected to the sacred tree, no one would recognize this "stage name" taken from her and Miku's names.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of the world below, it seemed that the world had returned to prosperity. Compared with the world two years ago, the social order had become much more stable. Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It feels like everything has changed, right?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked in his mind.

Time is such a magical thing.

It's clearly the same world, but two completely different time and space... She had a similar feeling back then.

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "I was just thinking... since the two time and space do not interfere with each other, if I rob the vault in this singularity, can't I rob it again in the next singularity?"

He felt that he had thought of a good way to make a fortune.

If he wasn't short of money now, maybe he could give it a try... no, experiment?

Topics such as the violation of conservation of matter in repeated space-time

"…What is that?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked in confusion.
