I loaded the dream game

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi subconsciously turned his eyes away, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the petite black-haired girl standing on the balcony not far away...

……

Jun Qianjing leaned her hands on the balcony railing, gazing at the scenery in the distance that was completely unfamiliar to her, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Sanshu City in Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku... a city that was still called Kannonji City three hundred years ago.

Familiar space, unfamiliar time.

Three hundred years have passed, and not only has the scenery changed, but even the name of the city has changed.

Everything in front of her was so strange to her, but it gave her a feeling of inexplicable connection with the time and space in her memory.

This is the world three hundred years later...

The girl's eyes gradually became absent-minded.

Are they fighting for such a future?

Just then, the sound of footsteps behind her woke her up from her thoughts. She turned around quickly, and when she saw it was the young man, her expression relaxed slightly.

"How does it feel?"

Xia Zhi walked up to her and asked.

Hearing the boy's question, Jun Qianjing pursed his lips slightly and understood what he was asking.

She had heard from the above that the people of this era lived in a society built by amnesty, well protected by the sacred tree and heroes. They were completely unaware of the threat from Batik and the gods, and had completely forgotten the pain brought by the gods three hundred years ago.

Such a life...

"...It's too comfortable." Jun Qianjing commented.

"is it?"

Xia Zhi (cdbh) raised his head, looked at the scenery in the distance, and continued: "I think, to a certain extent, this is what they deserve."

Hearing this unexpected answer, Jun Qianjing was slightly stunned.

Deserve...?

Facing the doubts expressed by the girl, Xia Zhi continued: "The people of this era also made their own efforts. They were well protected by the sacred tree and the heroes."

But it’s not just that

Their comfort is also built on the achievements of their predecessors.

Whether it's the sacred tree, the heroes of the past, or the elves who gave their all...

"It is because of the sacrifices and hard work of our predecessors that we have been able to secure this lasting peace for future generations... They deserve to enjoy this comfort, which is the result of your hard work," Xia Zhi continued.

If after making such great sacrifices, we find that people who come later are still living in disaster and war, that would be a sad thing, wouldn't it?

"So, people's comfort now is the greatest affirmation of you." He looked at the girl and said.

“……” Jun Qianjing pursed his lips.

This was the first time she heard this perspective explained.

Can one's own existence be affirmed in this way?

The girl couldn't help but reach out and touch her left ear. It was smooth and delicate, and the pain from the past seemed to have disappeared. All that was left was the warmth that still remained in her body...

Seeing that the topic seemed to be getting a little serious, Xia Zhi, remembering that he was not here to do such things, shook his head and changed the subject.

"…I'm sorry, I made things a little difficult for you just now."

If an introvert is asked to participate in a dinner party with mostly strangers, you would feel uncomfortable too, right?

Jun Qianjing shook his head

"No, I'm happy."

"is it?"

Why did Xia Zhi feel a little bit unconvinced?

However, the girl did not lie, she was actually very happy.

after all……

"……first."

Jun Qianjing murmured softly

After taking a deep breath, she raised her head, looked at the boy and said

"This is the first time I've been invited to someone's home."

And, for the second time, I received affirmation from him...

The girl thought so in her heart.

.......

Chapter 1080: Academic research on whether there is a possibility of reproduction between elves and humans (

Originally, there was no scheduled time for Xiazhi, and Hinata and Gun Chikage had only planned to stay for one afternoon.

But at Yuanzi's kind invitation, after a moment of embarrassment, they were finally allowed to stay and wait until after dinner.

It was said to be difficult, but in Xiazhi's opinion, they... at least Hinata, didn't actually struggle for long.

We've already been kept until the evening, so it's not impossible for us to stay overnight again, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels like it's not just Hinata, it seems like even Chikage's attitude towards Sonoko is subtly different from how she treats other people.

I don't know if it's Sonoko's personal charm, or if there's a factor of Ruoye involved?

Xia Zhi thought to himself as he enjoyed the quiet time of the afternoon and couldn't help yawning.

At this moment in the living room, two girls were sitting on the sofa and playing video games with controllers. This was probably one of Jun Qianjing's few personal hobbies.

Before they knew it, she and Sonoko had gradually become familiar with each other... No wonder some companies like to play small games during the training of new employees, games are indeed a good way to bring people closer together.

It is obvious that although Sonoko is very smart, she is still inferior to Jun Qianjing in experience and is currently at a clear disadvantage in the game.

...Even though her physical fitness has been completely assimilated by Xia Zhi's divine power and she would be much better than an ordinary hero if she takes it seriously, don't forget that Jun Qianjing is also Xia Zhi's hero.

Aya, who was standing by, gently stroked the green-haired girl on her knees, glancing at the game screen on TV from time to time with a curious look in his eyes.

Obviously, the game they played had a novel appeal to a girl of her age who had been under semi-closed education in the amnesty for many years.

Xia Zhi originally wanted to suggest that if she was interested, she could go over and try it out, but the girl shook her head and refused. It seemed that compared to the game, she seemed to care more about "taking care" of the gods.

She is indeed a qualified shrine maiden.

In comparison, the other one...

Xia Zhi turned his gaze to the purple-haired girl beside him.

Under his gaze, Hinata was trying to feed Congyun the osmanthus cake she made herself, but Congyun didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Strange... Lord Divine Tree should like food made from flowers, right?" the girl muttered in confusion.

Xia Zhi didn’t know where this inherent prejudice came from... Cong Yun was not originally the god of plants, right?

Also, don’t you know that flowers are the reproductive organs of plants?

"She actually prefers ice cream."

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi reminded her.

"is it?"

Hinata thought for a moment, then jumped off the sofa and ran into the kitchen, apparently preparing to make ice cream again.

I don’t know why, but she seems to have a special obsession with making food for Cong Yun by herself.

...Perhaps, it stems from the witch's corrupted love for the god?

Xia Zhi shook his head and collected his thoughts.

But it’s already afternoon now. By the time she finishes making the ice cream, it should be evening, right?

It looks like there's no escape from staying overnight.

Sure enough, after dinner, the two did not mention leaving again.

Xia Zhi specially left some snacks and food, packed them into lunch boxes, and prepared to assign rooms to Hinata and Jun Chikage.

After asking Chikage if she wanted to live with Hinata and being rejected without hesitation, Xiazhi reallocated two rooms to them and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Xiazhi, you seem to be very experienced in taking care of children."

Sitting in the bathtub filled with warm water, Mio leaned in the boy's arms, playing with her silver hair, looking at the rippling water surface, and sighing like this.

After thinking about it, she tilted her head and looked at Xia Zhi with a hint of curiosity and asked:

"It seems that if we have children in the future, Xia Zhi should be able to do a good job, right?"

"I have no experience in taking care of babies." Xia Zhi answered nonchalantly while helping the girl wash.

Uh...no.

Recalling his previous experience of taking care of a Moon Princess, he hesitated again. For a moment, he was not sure whether that period could be counted.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

Xia Zhi shook his head, put this unimportant question aside, and turned to think about more serious issues.

For example...is there reproductive isolation between elves and humans?

Logically speaking, there should be some differences between different species, but it has been verified many times before the summer solstice that there is almost no difference in the physiological structure between Mio, a pure elf, and an ordinary human girl.

While he was thinking, Mio also remembered something.

"No... If you count them, Xia Zhi should have seen quite a few, right? My 'children'."

She turned around, stared into the boy's eyes with her deep blue eyes, and winked playfully.

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

"Xiazhi, how are you getting along with them?"

Uh... about this question...

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to bring the topic back to the issue of "having children"...

……

After Mio fell asleep in his arms, Xia Zhi carefully pulled away her hands and reluctantly left her arms.

After putting on his clothes again and coming out of the room, he yawned and checked the time on his phone. It was already late at night.

I wonder if Xiaojun, Hinata and the others are asleep?

There's no need to worry about Kogori, but as for Hinata, I just hope she doesn't chat with Sonoko until late at night like last time, causing her to almost be late for school the next day.

Xia Zhi thought about it and couldn't help but yawn again.

At this time of day, he should have been sleeping in his girlfriend's arms.

However, considering that I have rested for a long enough time since returning to this era, if I continue to slack off, it might cause dissatisfaction from a certain girl like last time, so I better set off again as soon as possible.

But before that, I have to meet someone first.

...Sorry, Mio, I'm going to find another woman first. I'll come to sleep with you after I come back from her.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and said goodbye to his girlfriend who was still sleeping in the room, and walked out of the house...

……Several.

Chapter 1081 Late Night, Cat, and Girl

Walking on the deserted road late at night, the quiet night is illuminated by only a few street lights.

Listening to the footsteps clearly echoing in his ears, Xia Zhi felt quite novel.

Although he had gone out on dates with girls late at night more than once, this was the first time for him to walk alone on the quiet streets of Shikoku late at night.
