I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"Don't be embarrassed, it's only natural. If you two are too busy to take care of the child in the future, I won't mind taking care of the child for you for a few years."

"You're overthinking it. There's no such birth chart at all. Ha... Just thinking about this misunderstanding gives me a headache. Can you do me a favor and clear this up for me?"

Yuanxiang sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying softly. Zhongli, leaning against a pillar, replied in a nonchalant tone:

"This is not difficult. Since you say so, then we will do as you say. By the way, Yuanxiang, recently... has something happened on your end?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Zhongli suddenly mention this, Yuanxiang was slightly taken aback, but his face remained impassive as he said:

"I've been having a rare period of leisure lately."

You should still remember this, right?

Zhongli casually conjured a statue using rock element, a statue to commemorate the black-armored warrior. The Emperor's brows furrowed with a cold glint as he spoke:

“Recently, for some reason, some residents in Liyue Harbor have suddenly started to forget everything related to this statue. This is somewhat similar to how we forgot about you back then, so I am very uneasy.”

"Hmm... Could it be that the curse from back then still has some lingering power?"

Yuanxiang casually made up an excuse:

"Well, it's not a big deal. As long as you still remember me, that's good enough. If the situation doesn't get any worse, we can just do a quick check."

"Ha, that's just like you always have been."

Zhong Fali went to the statue, looked at Yuanxiang, and said:

"Once you're done with Ying's business, would you like to stay for a while?"

"Not for now."

Yuanxiang waved his hand, saying apologetically:

"I only came over to deal with this because Barbara mentioned it. Let's do it next time. Next time we can sit down and have some fun."

"Okay, next time I'll invite all my old friends from back then. I think they'll be overjoyed to see you."

Zhongli smiled and nodded in response:

"I've been busy with some things lately, but once I'm done, I'll have a lot more free time."

"Are you retiring?"

Yuanxiang glanced at the Emperor in surprise and said in a low voice:

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"Not hasty."

Zhongli looked up at the sky and said:

"The people of Liyue Harbor are ready. The era of traveling with immortals can come to an end."

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

Yuanxiang rubbed his fingers together and whispered:

"What I mean is, have you saved up enough secret savings in such a short time?"

"Well... I think it should be about right."

Zhongli bent down slightly and gestured towards Yuanxiang, saying:

"I've saved this amount now, and I feel it'll be enough for me to live on for a while."

"A period of time? Bro, I think you need to change your mindset. Come on, let me do some more math on the household budget for you..."

A moment later, Yuanxiang flew towards the location of Wangshu Inn. Meanwhile, in front of the Hall of Rebirth, the Rock King Emperor rubbed his temples with a slight headache, looked up at the jade plate in the air with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself:

"Maybe...we should wait a little longer."

........

"Lord Gengo."

"Wow!"

On the other side, Yuanxiang, who had just entered Guili Plain, was startled by the sudden sound. Looking down, he saw Xiao's figure appear beside him at some point, holding a long spear, and respectfully saying:

"Lord Gensou, I'm truly sorry that I didn't remember your name right away last time."

"Don't worry about it. After all, you'll forget about me mainly because of what happened here. By the way, aren't you resting at Wangshu Inn?"

At this point, Yuanxiang's eyes lit up, and he rolled up his sleeves, saying:

"Are you clearing away your karmic obstacles? Count me in, I've been wanting to try out that thing for ages."

"No, you've misunderstood."

Xiao shook his head and said:

"Things have been peaceful lately, and I've finally had a chance to rest. The main reason I'm here is... well..."

At this moment, Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated. After hesitating for a short while, he said helplessly:

"I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"...I think I know why you can't sleep. Wait a minute, I'll take care of it right away."

Yuanxiang, exasperated, patted Xiao on the shoulder and continued running towards Wangshu Inn. Just as he reached the accommodation area, he heard a very familiar voice:

"Gengo... such an unattainable character, waaaaaah..."

251. How about we try turning this fake relationship into a real one?

This guy.....

Gensho pursed his lips helplessly. He was about to turn around and say something when he realized that Xiao had disappeared. He figured Xiao had gone to avoid suspicion. So the boy didn't waste any words and went straight up to knock on the door. He composed himself and prepared to have a good chat with the traveler.

However....

When the door opened, Ying, still dressed in white, suddenly lit up. She turned around, quickly washed her hands, and after drying them thoroughly, ran over to Yuanxiang and rubbed them on his face, muttering, "Sacrifice myself, may I be protected from going astray." Then she took out the illustrated book, flipped to the last page in a blur, and clicked on it repeatedly. Purple, blue, and white lights flashed, and finally a dazzling orange light appeared.

At that moment, Ying immediately closed her eyes, then slowly opened them a crack. After seeing something, the traveler, with a look of utter despair, tossed aside the encyclopedia, stared at Gensou, and muttered:

"Why can't I win anything even though you're here in person? Are you really the man I can never have? Waaaaah..."

"Don't make things sound so misleading."

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Yuanxiang grabbed Ying's ear and dragged her into the house. At this moment, Paimon, who had been awakened, looked up at Yuanxiang, waved his hand in a daze, said hello, and then went back to sleep. It seems that this little mascot has gotten used to Ying's startling antics during this time.

"Do you even know what people outside are saying about us right now?"

Yuanxiang pulled over a chair, looked at Ying sitting on the edge of the bed, and said softly:

"You, a traveler, are practically becoming the epitome of unrequited love, you know?"

"Is that so? I've been quite busy lately and haven't really paid much attention."

Ying was also a clever person. After hearing what Yuanxiang said, she immediately realized what was going on. No wonder her friends had been looking at her like that and saying nonsensical things lately. But she had been busy clearing land and hadn't paid much attention. Now, Ying, her face slightly flushed, clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Yuanxiang, saying:

"If I admit it, can you help me pull yourself out of the encyclopedia?"

"Are you really okay? It sounds like you're going to be obsessed with that encyclopedia."

Genshou reached out and touched Hotaru's forehead with some concern. The traveler was chilled by the boy's body temperature, but she didn't mind. She casually brushed the hand away from her forehead and said in a rather painful voice:

"It's not my fault! You're just too charming! You have built-in crowd control and healing abilities, and your physical damage output is incredibly high. You don't even need to worry about elemental immunity. Such a powerful force is beyond my reach! Ahhh, there's a treasure trove right in front of me, but I can't get a single penny. It's so painful..."

Looking at Ying, who was rolling around on the bed in front of him, Genji's expression was somewhat subtle. He still remembered the setting of the encyclopedia. Ying could fight against the projections of all the characters and enemies recorded in it. After completing different conditions, she could borrow some of the power in the projection. Although his projection at that time was not as good as it is now, it still seemed to be a bit beyond the scope for this traveler.

"Well, it's not nice to put it this way, but I'd like to ask, how many times have you been defeated by my projection?"

Gensho couldn't help but whisper, and Ying suddenly raised her head, looked at him, and said:

"Five hundred times, at least five hundred times! Do you know how I survived those five hundred times?! What kind of fighting habits do you have? Why do you always unleash your ultimate attack as soon as you see an enemy? You release one color and then switch to another, sometimes even releasing several of the same color in a row. You even have invincibility during your transformation! Can't you give me a chance to chip away at their health?!"

Ying grabbed Yuanxiang's collar, accusing him and shaking him, her tone as pitiful as a young wife who had been abandoned. Yuanxiang quickly waved his hand, telling her to lower her voice and not disturb others' rest. Ying waved her hand dismissively and explained:

"Don't worry, there are no other guests at Wangshu Inn tonight except me. If there were people next door, I wouldn't be shouting like that."

"Have you forgotten that there's an immortal living in this inn?"

Hearing Gensho's words, Ying was slightly taken aback, as if she had just realized it, but she immediately shook her head in a self-deprecating manner and said in an empty tone:

"I've already yelled like that, he must be awake by now. Let me vent a little before he comes knocking, Yuanxiang~~ I don't care, I don't listen! Today you have to make your projection behave and let me whittle down a tenth of your health~~~"

"This kind of thing..."

Looking at Ying, who was lying on the bed rolling around like a brat, Gengo complained with a headache, but before he could finish speaking, the traveler nimbly sat up, grabbed Gengo's hands, and looked at him with bright eyes, saying:

"How about you draw it for me? It's me drawing it myself, the odds should be higher, right?"

"Explain yourself first, how did this 'character gacha' thing suddenly appear?"

Gensho pulled his hand away and gently tapped Ying's little head, asking curiously. Ying hugged the picture book, lay down on the bed, and stretched out her hand to Gensho, saying:

"Find a comfortable position, hold my hand, then close your eyes and relax."

Gensho obediently adjusted his posture, took Ying's hand, and felt a slight pulling force the moment he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he and Ying appeared at the foot of what looked like an abandoned palace. The surroundings were empty, and they seemed to be floating in mid-air. In front of them, on the steps, was a huge, empty room, which reminded people of places like a gladiatorial arena.

At this moment, Ying took the encyclopedia and opened it to Gensou to show him the image that appeared on the last page. She explained that after failing to defeat Gensou's projection five hundred times, this encyclopedia showed mercy to the weak and unlocked the functions called 'Prayer' and 'Abyss Spiral'.

The former is like a character pool in a game, from which you can draw a character projection that you haven't yet conquered. You will get one projection every ninety draws. The stronger the projection, the lower the probability of drawing it. When you draw a projection that you haven't conquered, you can only use one-seventh of its power. This means that you have to draw a projection seven times to get all of its power.

The latter is quite simple. It allows you to obtain items for drawing 'wishes', which contain various enemies recorded in the encyclopedia. After being strengthened in various ways, these enemies are defeated by Luminous, and the items are awarded based on Luminous's performance in battle.

After these two functions were activated, Ying worked very hard to train outside, searching for new enemies in the wild. Firstly, to hone her martial arts skills, and secondly, if she encountered a powerful enemy, she could defeat its projection in the Spiral Abyss and obtain more rewards.

However, after all this time, I haven't gotten the 'Origin Projection' even once.

"Forget it, after venting for a while, I feel much better. Since I'm already here, I might as well start a simulation battle to practice my skills."

Ying sighed and casually set up the monster encyclopedia. Gengo watched as she maxed out all the attributes such as 'Monster Projection HP +100%', 'Battlefield with built-in cold effect', and 'Monster Attack Frequency +100%', before picking up her one-handed sword and preparing to go to the room to fight monsters.

When she saw that Gensho seemed interested and wanted to get involved, Ying quickly waved her hand and said:

"No, no, no, don't come in. If you join the fight, the dynamic difficulty will increase by who knows how much. Besides, even with all these enhancements, they might not be enough for you guys. Just watch how hard I work to get your projection."

"...I'm pretty lucky, I'll try my luck for you after we get out."

Looking at this traveler who was so eager to try out his 'personal mystical arts,' Genji sighed and replied helplessly. Upon hearing this, Ying happily grabbed her weapon and charged towards the group of Hilichurls in the room. Then, after a series of clanging sounds, a bruised and swollen Ying emerged, covering her face and saying apologetically, with her words slightly mumbled:
