I loaded the dream game

This seems to be an apartment with three bedrooms and a living room. The interior layout is very simple. I don’t know if it is due to the girl’s personality or because they just moved in not long ago. Apart from the sofa and the coffee table, there are not many furniture in the living room, making it look a bit empty.

Because the apartment is located on the upper floors of the building, you can enjoy the scenery by opening the window, and it only takes one or two minutes to take the elevator to the rooftop.

It seems like what Xixian herself said, she really went there to relax.

But, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to just casually invite a boy into your home?

"Soliciting. What would Xia Zhi like to drink?"

Xixian walked into the open kitchen connected to the living room, opened the refrigerator, looked at him and asked.

"Juice will do."

"Correction. There's only black tea for now," the girl said after glancing at the contents of the refrigerator.

Then you asked me what I wanted to drink.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, but in the end he just asked for a glass of boiled water.

"Where's your sister?"

He looked around and didn't see anyone else in the apartment except Xi Xian.

Recalling that he only saw a pair of shoes belonging to a girl at the door just now, Xia Zhi asked in confusion.

Different from other elves, the eighth order elves are very special, twin elves that split from the same individual.

Xia Zhi couldn't quite tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister, so he just called them that for now.

Logically speaking, they have a very good relationship, and if there is no special situation, they should not separate easily.

Could it be that... Xixian is the only one who came to this world this time? Xia Zhi thought.

On the other side, Xi Xian heard the words, and her hand holding the water cup trembled. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice:

"Answer. She is in another place, very far away, where Xi Xian can't reach her."

This description…

"She died?"

Recalling the somewhat depressed expression of the girl he had seen on the rooftop before, Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly and made a guess.

"Dissatisfied. Xixian didn't say that. Xiazhi's understanding ability needs to be improved." Although there was not much change in her expression, one could hear some displeasure in the girl's voice.

Xia Zhi feels that this is not his problem. Your statement is originally ambiguous, right?

"Refute. Xixian is just stating the facts."

The girl half-closed her eyes and said expressionlessly.

Okay, okay, just assume that I'm distracted.

"What do you mean by very far away place..." Xia Zhi asked.

"Explain. The place where Yakushiya is is isolated by time and space... Yui cannot leave this barrier, nor can she go to her side." The girl gave an answer.

Unable to leave this barrier to reach her... In other words, Yakushi's current location is outside this barrier?

As Xia Zhi was thinking about this, he saw the girl raise her head again, look into his eyes and say seriously:

"A request. Please, Xia Zhi, take Yakushi out of this closed space and time... If it's too much of a stretch, I'd be fine even if I had to abandon Yui."

It was easy to believe my own words.

"Haven't you ever thought about the possibility that I might be deceiving you?" Xia Zhi did not answer the girl's words, but changed the subject and asked.

I don't think I have produced any evidence yet?

Xixian shook her head slightly.

"I agree. Xixian has personally experienced the fact of time travel... so I can be sure of it."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

Personal experience means...

“She knows all this.”

After being silent for a long time, Tokisaki Kurumi finally spoke up to explain.

"After all, she traveled through time and space with me." She said meaningfully.

Travel through time……

Listening to Kuang San's words, Xia Zhi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but recall the similar experiences that Sonoko and Tougo had had.

Could it be that……

"Yes."

Tokisaki Kurumi confirmed his guess and then said

"My persuasion is not always smooth sailing, and sometimes I fail."

In this time and space, she was not able to successfully "persuade" the twin elves like she did with Miku, which led to the world of that timeline eventually heading towards its original ending.

"In another future, she witnessed the death of her sister, so she finally decided to cooperate with me to change that 'future'."

"..."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall what Kuang San had said before about how she and Yui Xian had a very pleasant collaboration.

As expected, I shouldn't have had any hope for the "pleasure" she mentioned, he complained in his heart.

"so……"

Tokisaki Kurumi continued:

"She knew everything. Knowing the fate she would face, she offered to sacrifice her soul crystal to reset the world to its current state."

All she did was to save her most cherished other half.

In other words...

"She traded her own 'future' for the elf's brief existence."

"..."

Xia Zhi fell silent.

Having witnessed a tragic future, I decided not to let such a future happen again. However, even if I gave everything, I could only prolong the existence of the person I wanted to save for a moment in this time and space that was destined to disappear...

"What a pity. Yuigen was ultimately unable to completely save Yakuya." The girl said dejectedly with her head slightly lowered.

That’s why I want to make amends.

"……I see."

After a long silence, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the sofa.

I already understand the basic situation, but things are a little more complicated than I imagined.

It’s getting late now, so I’ll decide what to do next after I go back and sort it out.

Of course, these are only part of the reasons...the most important thing is that Xiazhi hasn't found a place to sleep at night yet.

683 Before I knew it, it was almost midnight.

Considering that going to see Hinata too late might disturb them too much, and in order to avoid being homeless tonight, Xia Zhi decided to leave first to solve the problem of tonight's overnight stay.

I will come again tomorrow, and you should go to bed early... Just as he was about to say this and turn around to leave, he felt his clothes being pulled by a slight force.

Xia Zhi turned his head in confusion and saw the orange-haired girl pulling at the corner of his clothes. Her gray-blue eyes stared at him and said

"Proposal. Xiazhi can stay tonight."

...Are you a little too confident in me? You are the only one at home now, right?

"But I'm a boy." Xia Zhi reminded her.

Xixian shook her head.

What does that mean? Do you have any other thoughts on this?

There are a few black lines on Xiazhi’s forehead.

However, the girl gave him an answer that he did not expect.

"Deal. As long as Xia Zhi can help Xi Xian save Yakushi, Xi Xian is willing to give you everything she has..."

The girl looked into Xia Zhi's eyes and said seriously.

She didn't know the real purpose of the man in front of her, nor did she know why he wanted to save them, but... no matter what, this was the only reward she could offer now.

After taking a deep breath, she blushed and continued

"...Including Xixian herself."

.......

Chapter 1043: Xia Zhi is actually very "willful"

Her long golden-orange hair was tied into three braids, and her beautiful face was delicate and flawless. The slender curve of her neck, where her collarbone was revealed, contrasted with the resolute and serious expression on the girl's face at the moment, exuding a peculiar charm of coexistence of protection and temptation.

Whether in terms of figure or appearance, Yami Yui is an absolute beautiful girl.

It's impossible not to be moved when such a beautiful and lovely girl says she is willing to entrust everything to you, right?

"But, I refuse."

Xia Zhi reached out and gently tapped the girl's forehead, causing her to let out a cute "Ah".

However, compared to the pain on her forehead, the girl was more concerned about another problem at the moment.

"Question. Why do you refuse?"

Xixian covered her forehead and looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Because I'm greedy." Xia Zhi replied.

The girl wanted to save Yekushi, but she didn't just want to save one elf.

"I want to save 'all' of you." Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and said so.

all……

"... guess. Not only Yui, but Yakuya is also your target?" The girl tilted her head slightly.

Although there is nothing wrong with what you said, it sounds like you are implying something else.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, reached out, gently pushed her hand away, and rubbed her slightly red forehead.

Along with the soft and gentle touch, a tingling and very comfortable feeling came over the girl, which made her distracted for a moment.

"Have a good sleep and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

After a moment, Xia Zhi withdrew his hand, waved goodbye to her, and turned away.

Xixian didn't try to persuade him to stay this time. She just stood there and watched the boy's back quietly as he left.

She stretched out her hand and gently touched her forehead, feeling a delicate touch... the slight pain that had remained there miraculously disappeared.

"Puzzled."

The girl murmured softly, not knowing whether she was amazed by this miraculous phenomenon or by Xia Zhi's actions and words just now.

but……

She pursed her lips slightly, as if she had made a decision, retracted her gaze, and turned back to her room.

……

"I thought Mr. Xia Zhi would agree to it."

Walking on the deserted road late at night, the voice of Tokisaki Kurumi came to my mind.

"In your mind, do I look like someone who would do that kind of thing?" Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"how could be."

Tokisaki Kurumi replied

"It's just that Mr. Xia Zhi doesn't seem like someone who would refuse a cute girl's request, right?"

You are wrong. I have rejected you so many times... Xia Zhi, who liked to sleep in my room for a while, can prove it.
