But Nanoha Takamachi's hand gripped it tightly, as if the two were welded together, remaining completely still.

"........"

Genji paused for a moment, then deactivated his transformation and gently massaged Nanoha Takamachi's hand with his ripples, relaxing the muscles there. He understood her determination, but keeping her hands tense like this would only harm her body, even though she had already suffered quite a few injuries.

but.....

With that, I felt relieved. When I get back, I'll ask Linfus to teach Nanoha magic. Once she's grown up, I won't have much to worry about.

“Mr. Gensou, you…”

Seeing her siblings return, Barbara instinctively ran over, wanting to say something. But seeing Genji's expression, a mixture of relief and joy, she couldn't say anything for a moment. She could only quickly activate her magic to heal Nanoha's injuries. After starting the treatment, Barbara found that Nanoha had mainly suffered some physical pain. To be honest, after seeing Genji's attack, she had already prepared for an emergency rescue. Now, this made her feel relieved.

Barbara, still annoyed, took Nanoha Takamachi from Gengo's arms. Although Tomoyo said it was a test, they were practically family, so such a harsh move was a bit much.

Genji had no objection to Barbara's actions; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. This showed that the friendship built by the chat group was quite reliable, and Nanoha had gained another source of strength to rely on.

No, no, why am I becoming so pessimistic? Senior Philip is still researching ways to deal with 'blankness'. As long as he succeeds, everything will be fine for me. Haha... I'm being a little too cautious.

Gengo chuckled inwardly, then shifted his gaze to Kinomoto Sakura. The child immediately tensed up, gripping the bird-headed staff and nervously taking the Clow Cards. Gengo smiled and said softly:

"Don't worry, your training won't reach that level. After all, Nanoha has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so your foundations are different. Come on, just attack me. Just use me as a live target."

Gengo waved to Kinomoto Sakura and said:

"Actually, your fighting style is a bit like mine. We both choose the right power to deal with different situations. However, you have too few options now, but that's okay. The idea is still the same, and the general direction won't go wrong. Why aren't you making your move yet? Otherwise, I might strike first."

"Wind Card!"

"Shadow Card!"

Sakura Kinomoto immediately unleashed two Clow Cards, attacking Genji. However, these cards weren't meant to restrain Genji; instead, they disrupted and created terrain to slow him down. Then, the child produced the 'Creation Card,' since this Clow Card could achieve...

"and many more."

Suddenly, Gengo stopped Kinomoto Sakura's actions, turned his head to look west, his ears twitched, and he said with a subtle expression:

"It seems our morning exercise is coming to an end. The commotion here was a bit too much. You should leave now. I'll use 'luna' to restore this forest to its original state."

Hearing this, no one said anything and they quickly left. After all, it would be quite troublesome to explain if they were cornered. Gensou used 'cyclone' to summon a strong wind, which blocked the footsteps of those who came looking for them. He took the opportunity to restore everything and then left.

When he returned to Daidouji's house, Takamachi Nanoha had already woken up. When she saw Gengo, the little girl first puffed out her chest with great pride, but then she immediately thought of something, pretended to be very angry, crossed her arms, and turned her head to the side with a 'humph,' as if she had 'come and coax me' written all over her face.

"By the way, since I'm going to teach you anyway, why don't you try learning ripples yourself?"

Gengo sat down next to Takamachi Nanoha, gently rubbing her little head as he whispered:

"Although not everyone can necessarily learn this skill."

With this mentioned, everyone's attention shifted to it, and the result surprised Genji. Among the group, only Nanoha Takamachi learned Ripple quite smoothly, while the rest stumbled and struggled, only able to maintain the 'breathing' of Ripple with Genji's guidance. But with more time and guidance, they should be able to learn it... right?

To be honest, this was the first time Gensou had encountered this situation, so he was a little unsure. However, the 'Ripple' was just an add-on. Apart from Tomoyo, everyone else had their own specialized power system, so even if they couldn't learn it, it wouldn't be a big deal. And even if they did learn it, there was no need to worry that they would use the Ripple to drain their life force like he did.

"Alright, alright, that little incident is over. Now let's think about where to go next!"

Gensho smiled appropriately and said in a cheerful tone:

"Don't forget, we're still on holiday. Let's not waste this precious time."

Hearing this, everyone started to move, intending to continue playing according to the previous plan. At this moment, feeling the pulling sensation in his hand, Genji looked down and met Takamachi Nanoha's gaze. The boy reached out and pinched her cheek, whispering:

Are you angry?

No.

"Let's go then."

"Ok!"

Gensou smiled slightly, took Takamachi Nanoha's small hand, and walked towards the outside.

254 Red Swordsman

Today was another happy day. Genji and his group had a great time. But no matter how happy they were, this temporary summer sightseeing group will disband after today, and everyone will have to go about their own business. But that doesn't matter. Even after school starts, they can still get together to play on weekends if they want. Especially since Genji's 'door' is in Nanoha, Takamachi, they can really come and go as they please.

"Brother Yuanxiang".

"Ok?"

After having dinner at Daidouji Tomoyo's invitation, Genji, who was planning to wait for Takamachi Nanoha and her friends to cause some more trouble before taking her home, heard Kinomoto Sakura's voice. He put down his book and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? You seem hesitant to speak. Just say it, it's nothing serious."

"Brother Yuanxiang, can you tell me what's wrong with your body?"

Kinomoto Sakura leaned against the wall next to Genjo, looked up at the boy, and asked softly:

"Xiao Ke said before that you might disappear, and now it says it can no longer see through your situation, so Brother Yuanxiang, can you tell me the answer?"

"Well... since you asked, I'll talk about 'blankness'."

Genji hesitated for a moment, then explained the concept of 'blankness' to Kinomoto Sakura. However, during the explanation, he focused more on the benefits of 'blankness' and limited the side effects to amnesia.

There's nothing we can do about it. This child's best friend is just too smart. She's practically a director with a script. If she talks too much nonsense, it's too easy for people to find a flaw. Although Tomoyo might not let Kinomoto Sakura expose her, she'll definitely come after me about this, and I might not be able to handle it.

"I see... But even if it's just amnesia, isn't this a bit too much..."

Sakura Kinomoto lowered her head and whispered. Although she had experienced this firsthand, the fact that Gengo spoke of it in such a lighthearted tone still made her feel sad.

"Don't worry, my predecessors have already begun researching this matter."

Gengo gave Kinomoto a thumbs-up and said with a smile:

"My two seniors are incredibly capable. With them around, there won't be any problems. You don't need to worry, little guy."

"Um~~~"

As her head was being rubbed, Kinomoto Sakura let out a cute whimper. Then, before she could say anything more, Takamachi Nanoha had already come out. Gengo and Barbara, everyone was going back to their own worlds. After a brief farewell, Gengo quietly led Takamachi Nanoha to Kinomoto Sakura's doorstep and returned to the agency through the 'door'. After all, most of Takamachi Nanoha's points were used to repair Rising Sun Heart, so he wanted to save her some points.

"Brother Yuanxiang, let's continue with morning exercise tomorrow."

However, to Gengo's surprise, before parting, Takamachi Nanoha said something like that. But when she spoke, the little girl stuttered slightly, probably because she was a little scared. But this morning's training was just to confirm her determination, and the training afterward would not be at that level. Of course, Gengo would not tell Takamachi Nanoha this, and let it be a surprise tomorrow morning.

Alright, alright, I should take a rest now. After two days of getting used to it, the cracks on my body don't seem to hurt as much anymore. Lying in bed should be fine.

And so, Yuanxiang yawned and returned to his room.

However, just as he pushed open the door, a breeze swept in, and the 'door' was flashing. Yuanxiang shrugged helplessly, reached out, and 'fang' jumped over with her coat in her mouth. The boy quickly put on his clothes and strode open the door.

"what is this?"

Gensho looked around in surprise. Many bubbles floated in the air, and the sky shimmered with colors that seemed straight out of a fairy tale, filling the forest with a dreamlike quality. This left Gensho, who had been prepared for a tough battle, somewhat stunned.

No, since I'm here, someone must have made a request to me. No matter what the circumstances, I should find the person who made the request first.

Yuanxiang shrugged slightly, and Wangcai flapped its wings and took flight, searching for anything unusual in the surroundings as instructed. Soon, it sent a signal that there was a rather peculiar reaction in the northeast direction.

"This is......"

After transforming into Kamen Rider Cyclone and rushing to the scene, Gengo was shocked to see what was in front of him. Beside the stream, there were an astonishing number of bubbles, and inside each bubble were humans. Some were curled up uneasily, some were crying softly, and some were tearing and banging against the bubbles in despair, trying to get out. However, it was clear that they had been trapped for some time and were too weak from hunger. However, the bubbles were probably too strong for them to struggle against.

"Ah...ah..."

At this moment, Wangcai also let out a low hum, informing Yuanxiang that the bubbles were also composed of some kind of unknown energy. Upon hearing this, Yuanxiang switched 'joker' to 'luna' and then hurriedly walked to the trapped group.

"what!!"

"A monster...a monster has appeared!"

"Please, let me go, let me go!"

"Bastard! Bastard! Come and kill me if you dare! Ah!"

Gensou's appearance immediately caused panic among the crowd. Pleas for mercy, cries, and curses echoed along the riverbank, but Gensou ignored these sounds. He raised his hand, summoned the full moon, and poured its gentle moonlight onto the bubbles. Then, with a wave of his hand, he created projections of all the trapped people outside the bubbles. He then clenched his fist, switching between the real and the illusory, and in the blink of an eye, everyone escaped from the bubbles.

Faced with the sudden change, everyone was stunned. They looked at the completely different environment and at their other selves in the bubble. Their unease had not lessened much. But at this moment, a child suddenly ran to the strange guy wearing a light yellow bodysuit and hid behind him, looking timidly at his 'self' in the bubble. The strange guy did not harm the child. The freed people then swarmed around the source village.

That's fine, it saves me the trouble of explaining.

Gensou waved his hand gently, canceling the illusion created by 'Luna'. The bubble remained, without triggering any of the expected changes. After seeing the other 'self' disappear, everyone subconsciously checked their own bodies. Only after confirming that they had not been harmed did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

Gensho lowered his voice and waved his hand, saying:

"Go back to where you belong. This is none of your business."

"Oh, oh!"

Hearing this, the already exhausted people nodded blankly, then instinctively started running. But then, a burly man suddenly stopped, turned around, and said apologetically:

"Um, thank you for saving me. I thought you were a bad guy and swore at you. I'm sorry."

"Yes, yes, I was so confused. Thank you for saving me, sir."

"Thank you, I'll definitely treat you to a meal sometime!"

After the burly man started, the scattered people finally reacted and thanked Yuanxiang. Some didn't speak, but they expressed their gratitude through body language...

"Stop running! You can't get out!"

Suddenly, the little boy who had run towards Yuanxiang first shouted, causing everyone to freeze in place. They looked at the child in confusion, but the child answered without hesitation:

"Have you forgotten? We arrived here after we opened a book. At that point, we had already left the real world. This is the world inside the book, and we can't go back."

"Child, how did you know?"

Yuanxiang gently rubbed his little head. Although the child appeared calm, his tightly clenched fists revealed that he was still very nervous.

"My father said so."

The child said softly:

"What Father says must be true."

"Then he told you..."

Just as Yuanxiang was about to ask more questions, a terrified scream suddenly came from the northwest. He looked up and saw a strange man holding a sharp blade appear there, preparing to lock the people around him back into the bubbles.

"Luna!"

Gensou let out a soft cry, and the illusion and reality switched again, with everyone being swapped behind him. However, at this moment, Gensou couldn't help but press his chest and cough lightly, as the previous action had caused a sharp pain in the cracks on his body.

"Damn it! Damn it! Is it you who disturbed the birth of the king?!"

Upon seeing that all the humans in front of him had been moved away, the strange man stomped his feet angrily and shouted, then furiously brandished his thorny longsword and charged towards Yuanxiang.
