I loaded the dream game

The boy's overly exaggerated tone made Jasmine feel weird... Compared to their status, she was nothing at all, right?

and……

“…I’m just beginning to experiment.”

"That's great, well begun is half done... For example, I have absolutely no talent for painting or writing."

Xia Zhi said as he handed her the bag in his hand.

"I brought you gifts."

Jasmine took it subconsciously, opened it and saw that it was full of fresh ingredients such as vegetables, fish and meat.

"It's a local specialty I brought from the city."

Looking at her puzzled expression, Xia Zhi explained.

Local specialties... These are obviously the ingredients that can be found everywhere in supermarkets, right?

Jasmine complained in her heart.

Moreover, these are some ingredients that will easily go stale tomorrow if they are not processed today in this weather.

So the question is, who is the cook?

...It's still me, right?

If it was before, she might not have thought so, but after spending some time with the boy and getting familiar with his personality, Yokote Mari felt that he must have done it on purpose by coming over at this time of meal.

"..."

Sighing helplessly, after saying hello to the two people in the living room, Jasmine took the initiative to carry the ingredients into the kitchen.

"Jasmine, I feel especially like a mother now."

Looking at the girl's back as she left, Takashima Yuna couldn't help but sigh.

At least she's my wife.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, looked at the brave girl in front of him and said: "Thank you so much this time, Takashima-san."

It can be said that if it were not for her quick wit and cooperation, even if she could still gain the trust of Seven Sins in the end, the process would not have been so smooth, right?

Not to mention, they have lived in someone else's house for such a long time.

"No."

Takashima Yuna retracted her gaze, shook her head slightly, her expression softened, and looked at him and said:

"We should be thanking you, right?"

...She knew what their final outcome would be if the boy had not appeared.

In this time and space that was finally destroyed by the gods, as the brave warriors who protect the world at the forefront, their final fate is also predictable.

...The boy saved not only the elves, but also them.

"So, if there's anything you need from me, please just tell the brave warrior Takashima Yuna~!" Takashima Yuna said while clenching his fists.

　793 Looking at the brave girl who was full of energy in front of him, Xia Zhi couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to touch her head.

"……Eh?"

Feeling this intimate action, Takashima Yuna was slightly stunned.

"Feel sorry."

Xia Zhi also reacted... After spending a long time with Takashima Yuna, who had transformed into Nanashi, he got used to it after a while.

Just as he was about to take his hand back, the girl grabbed his hand.

"It's okay."

Takashima Yuna shook her head quietly, put the boy's hand back on her head, let him touch it, closed her eyes and felt it carefully, with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Hmmm... no wonder Hinata and the others like being patted on the head by you so much."

She opened her eyes, blinked at the boy, and asked with a smile:

"Master Xiazhi, are you enjoying your time with 'the other me'?"

"Thanks for your help."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he compared the feel of the brave girl at this moment with the feel of her when Nanashi transformed... but still couldn't feel any difference.

"So, if you need anything, please tell me. This will be my thank you gift." He said to the girl.

Logically speaking, Takashima Yuna, who just denied the boy's thanks, should also refuse this thank-you gift.

however……

"As for 'thank you' gift', there really is one."

Takashima Yuna blinked and said this.

.......

Chapter 1118 "Please let me be your hero"

What Xia Zhi said was of course true, but he was a little curious about what kind of thank-you gift the girl wanted.

Facing the boy's puzzled expression, Takashima Yuna thought for a moment and asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Um... I heard that Xiaoqun has now become your hero, Master Xiazhi, right?"

Xia Zhi did not deny this, but how did the girl know it?

"Did she show off to you?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

"I don't have that." Takashima Yuna shook her head.

After all, Chikage-san isn't the type to brag about such things.

"Hinata-san told me."

As she recalled, she continued, "There was a period of time before when I could sense that she was in a very good mood. She wasn't even angry when Xiaoqiu accidentally deleted her save file while playing her game console..."

It can be heard that he is in a very good mood indeed. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"At that time, I thought it might be related to your affairs, Xiazhi-sama... So when Xiaoqun, like Hinata, suddenly disappeared for a while and came back, I knew that she might have gone to your place, Xiazhi-sama, just like Hinata-sama."

Takashima Yuna continued

"Later, I learned from Hinata-san that she had become your hero, Master Xiazhi."

Hinata and Chikage went to their own time... From their perspective, did they just disappear from this world?

Xia Zhi thought.

"Ah, that's not what I was talking about!"

The girl realized that she had strayed from the main point.

...It should be said that for them as heroes, they are heroes first, and then heroes of the God Tree.

After all, before she made up her mind to become a brave warrior who protects people, she didn't even know about the existence of the sacred tree.

Moreover, I heard that even the current Lord Divine Tree is a subordinate god of Lord Xiazhi?

Takashima Yuna couldn't help but recall what Hinata said about seeing the true form of the God Tree in the future...

...something like very well-behaved, very cute, feels good to touch...?

No, no, no

She shook her head vigorously and pulled her thoughts back again.

"I am a brave man, the brave man Takashima Yuna who protects this world and its people..."

The girl said softly, slightly grasping the clothes on her chest

Hinata and Xiaoqun's brief "departure" at that time made her realize one thing.

...Although their own existence is frozen by the sacred tree, allowing them to synchronize their memories and states with themselves in different time and space singularities, their existence itself is still restricted by time and space.

Otherwise, even if they don't need the special space provided by the sacred tree, they should be able to go freely to the boy's era, right?

In other words, once the time and space that the boy is going to in the future is out of their era, they may no longer be able to help.

I can only stay in the "past" silently, waiting to be rescued by someone.

She doesn't want that kind of thing.

"Mr. Xia Zhi is saving us... I can't just stand by and pretend nothing happened and do nothing."

...Because I am a brave man.

The girl thought so in her heart.

However, she couldn't do that by her own strength.

"I also want to give Mr. Xia Zhi as much help as possible, so..."

She took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at the boy, and said seriously and firmly:

"If possible, please let me be your hero."

……I see.

Looking at the determined eyes of the girl in front of him, Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly and asked, "Do you want to protect this world no matter what?"

"it is my responsibility……"

……No

Takashima Yuna paused in the middle of her words. She shook her head, clenched her hands slightly, looked at the boy again, and continued seriously.

"This is my... wish."

"..."

A wish...?

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief

It should be said that this cannot be considered as a "thank you gift".

But... since she said so

Xia Zhi stretched out his hand to the girl: "Give me your hand."

Hearing this, Takashima Yuna obediently placed her hand in his palm.

Gently holding the girl's hand that was still soft despite years of training, Xia Zhi gently closed his eyes, summoned the power in his body, and transformed it into divine power according to the familiar process.

The next moment, when Xia Zhi controlled the divine power and entered the girl's body, he felt the difference between her and others.

It can be said that the girl in front of him at this moment is the one with the highest degree of compatibility with divine power that he has encountered so far. She is even more compatible with divine power than Sonoko, who was already a demigod.

…Should I say, she is worthy of being called “¨々友奈”?

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, sensing that the girl's body was constantly accepting his power as if without limit, so he tried to transform more divine power into her body.

"Woo..."

Not long after, the girl couldn't help but let out a suppressed moan, which brought Xia Zhi back to his senses.

He then realized that he was negligent... A high degree of compatibility is one thing, but for a girl who is just a human, no matter how strong her physique is, she will not be able to fully accommodate the huge amount of divine power that he has input, right?

"How do you feel?" Xia Zhi looked at the girl (Zhao Nuohao) and asked with concern.

Takashima Yuna blushed and shook her head. She was about to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, her body softened and she collapsed into the boy's arms.

"Master Xiazhi, Youna, I have prepared some simple dishes. Can you come out and eat... now?"

Jasmine came back from the kitchen and looked at the scene of the two people in the living room. She couldn't help but blinked blankly.

Ah, this...

Looking at the brave girl who had fallen limply into his arms with an inexplicable blush on her face, Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jasmine and said:

"…I said I can explain, do you believe me?"
