I loaded the dream game

"And...she hasn't submitted an application to Cong Yun to enter."

In other words, he came to that world by accident? Xia Zhi thought.

If it was just a break-in into an ordinary world, it would be understandable. Both myself and Irene were such examples. Although time travelers are not common, they still exist.

But if one breaks into the interior of the sacred tree, that special world that connects all of time and space in the past and present of the Divine Century, then that would be somewhat unlikely… In theory, only those who have a very close relationship with the sacred tree, or oneself, could take the initiative to enter that world.

unless……

"Um……"

Cong Yun nodded slightly, confirming his guess, and said:

"She is... a hero."

……

"Um...wu..."

I don’t know how long I slept before the girl woke up from her drowsy dream. She slowly opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

It seemed to be late at night, and the room was a little dim. It started raining outside the window, and the raindrops hitting the glass made a slight "crackling" sound, which woke her up from her drowsiness.

As her thoughts gradually became clear, the girl gradually realized

I seemed to be lying in a strange room...

"...!?"

As if she remembered something, she suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around hurriedly, as if trying to find someone.

"I'm here."

The boy's voice came from her ear, and the girl immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw the figure she was looking for on the other side of the bed.

Noticing the girl waking up, Xia Zhi put down the handheld game console in his hand, looked up at her, and whispered to her: "Don't worry, I haven't left yet."

"..."

Seeing this familiar figure, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt at ease.

Seeing her nervous look, Xia Zhi sighed slightly.

He probably guessed that the girl would react like this after waking up, so he did not choose to go back and hug his girlfriend's soft body to sleep, but came here specifically to stay by her side.

I am truly a good god who protects beautiful girls... uh, protects the people with due diligence.

Xia Zhi boasted in his heart, then turned to look at the girl and asked, "How do you feel?"

The girl shook her head gently and lowered her head, only to find that she had changed her clothes without knowing when.

"..."

Looking at her clean and tidy pajamas, the hair hanging in front of her body became dry, and she could smell the faint pleasant scent emanating from it. Her eyes were slightly dazed.

"I asked Mio to help you change. There happened to be some clothes for girls your age at home."

Xia Zhi explained, ruffling her hair gently and said:

"If you're still tired, just have a good sleep... Don't worry, I'll stay by your side and won't leave."

"..."

827

Listening to the boy's words, feeling the warmth coming from her hair along with the sound of raindrops outside the window, the girl pursed her lips slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

“…Origami.”

After a moment, she suddenly said

The girl's voice was clear but a little childish. It seemed that she hadn't spoken for a long time, or maybe because she had cried before, so it sounded a little hoarse.

However, these are not the main points

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

The girl raised her head, and continued as he looked at her in a daze:

"My name is... Tobiichi Origami."

After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, she continued

"And...the number before that was...one."

"..."

I understand. Just tell me your name.

It’s a little late now... No need to answer that question specifically.

When Xia Zhi was complaining in his heart, he only heard a "ding" sound, and a new line of subtitles popped up in front of him...

.......

Chapter 1138: Not in the same time and space

"Mr. Xia Zhi, you are unexpectedly very diligent this time."

In the living room in the afternoon, Tokisaki Kurumi took a sip of coffee, looked at the black-haired boy opposite and said with a smile

"I thought you would spend a few days hanging out with your girlfriend and the little heroes before you would think of me."

What you said, am I not diligent at ordinary times? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

……All right.

Thinking back on his usual actions, Xia Zhi decided not to argue with the girl on this issue.

However, he did not quite agree with the girl's next sentence.

"I think about Miss Kuang San every day, and I can't wait to get the reward later."

"Ah, really?"

Tokisaki Kurumi narrowed her eyes slightly, keeping a smile on her face. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. She continued to say in the same tone: "But I never said there would be such a reward later."

"How about we have an agreement now?" Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

"……hehe."

Miss Time Elf smiled but did not give a direct answer. She took another sip of coffee.

"What reward?" Mio came forward and asked curiously.

"...some additional small rewards for clearing the level."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he took out a small piece of biscuit from the tray and handed it to Cong Yun beside him.

Cong Yun whispered thank you, opened her mouth slightly, and took a small bite with a "crunch".

...I'm letting you take it yourself.

When Xia Zhi thought about this, he only felt the soft and moist touch of the little tongue licking his fingers.

When he came to his senses, he noticed that Xiao Congyun had already finished the biscuits in a few bites, licked the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, and cast an expectant look at him.

Where are you from, kitten?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, stuffed a donut into her hand, and then turned his gaze to the silver-haired girl who was sitting next to him on the other side.

From the beginning, the girl said nothing and just held her cup of coffee silently, as if everything happening in the world around her had nothing to do with her.

It should be said that since she said those two sentences last night, she has stopped talking and rarely reacts to things around her.

I don’t know if it was because of her previous experiences that stimulated her spirit, or if it was because she was frightened, but it made people feel that she seemed to be alienated and isolated from the world around her.

The only good news is that she has not developed autism and completely closed herself off to her own world. Although she is not very willing to communicate with others, she likes to stay where there are people.

To be exact, I like to stay where I can see young boys.

“…．“…”

Xia Zhi tried the same thing and picked up a small cookie and handed it to her.

Seeing his actions, the girl, who had been silent since a while ago, finally reacted and her eyes fell on his hands.

After thinking about it, she did not take it, but opened her mouth and took a bite.

...You should stop imitating others in this regard.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and stuffed the remaining biscuits into her hands to prevent her and Cong Yun from learning bad habits.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, you are really busy."

Tokisaki Kurumi, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but sigh.

Just don't come and watch the fun. I didn't invite you here to have fun.

Xia Zhi gave her an unpleasant look.

"Yeah, I know what you want to ask."

Tokisaki Kurumi also took a biscuit, dipped it in the coffee, and put it in her mouth... I don't know where she learned to eat it this way.

"Indeed, I know her."

After patting the cookie crumbs on her hands, Tokisaki Kurumi replied.

Rather, she could be said to be quite familiar with that girl.

...But the "Origami Tobiichi" that I knew shouldn't have appeared in this place.

and……

Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes fell on the silver-haired girl next to Xia Zhi who had not even glanced at her since the beginning, as if the person they were talking about was not her at all.

"…What happened?" she asked out loud.

"Something happened." Xia Zhi replied.

It's the same as not saying anything.

Tokisaki Kurumi thought, and was not angry for anything. After thinking for a while, she changed the subject and continued with a smile: "... Not only me, your little hero should also know him."

My little hero?

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted.

Could it be that the one that Kurumi was pointing at was Sonoko?

But, she had clearly seen Tobiichi Origami last night and this morning, but she didn't say anything to me?

Logically speaking, if they really knew each other, Sonoko shouldn't have hidden this from me.

"Maybe it's because the change is too great, she didn't recognize it at first." Tokisaki Kurumi replied indifferently.

So much has changed...

Xia Zhi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

If, as previously speculated, the little Origami now entered that world by mistake from another timeline, then there is a high possibility that she came from a certain point in the "past".

In other words, the one that Sonoko knew was actually the grown-up... that is, the "present" Tobiichi Origami?

This does seem to make sense.

So the question is, where is that origami now?

"I don't recommend you go see her now."

As if she saw what the boy was thinking, Tokisaki Kurumi reminded him.

Xia Zhi tilted his head in confusion: "What's wrong? Is she in a state where she can't see anyone now?"

"That's not the case...it's just because it's not the time to lift the current space-time barrier yet." Tokisaki Kurumi shook her head and said.

Xia Zhi recalled that the girl had said before that, like other time and space isolated by singularities, they were now also in a time and space singularity.

...In other words, the current space-time singularity was formed with the help of the power of "Tobiichi Origami"?

According to the order summarized from previous experiences, it is not that surprising.

If that was the case, he could probably understand what Tokisaki Kurumi was thinking.

This singularity in space and time, which has not yet been completely removed, is not only a doomsday clock for this world, but also a layer of protection that protects the current space and time. Even if all the singularities in the past are removed, the butterfly effect they cause will not have any impact on the "present".
