Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

"That's really perverted!"

Alaya suddenly produced a magnifying glass from somewhere and examined Lin Yu's face closely. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was appraising some kind of cultural relic. After a while, she came to the same conclusion as Gaia.

"Tch, what a fuss. I sleep in just my underwear every night. I've seen it so many times and you're still not used to it."

Displeased, Lin Yu grabbed the two little ones by their wings and stuffed them into his pocket, looking at the closed door with a regretful expression.

"Don't you know what learning is?"

Even Alastor couldn't stand it anymore this time.

"Tch, what's the difference between not courting death and being a salted fish?"

Lin Yu stared blankly, showing no remorse for his despicable actions. However, this time he didn't choose to spy on her. Damn, Qiancao was still inside. Don't let her easygoing appearance fool you; if he were discovered, he'd rather die than let her get away with it.

……

At that very moment, Seven Sins, who had once caused Shana to lose control of her emotions, appeared at the entrance of the swimsuit store in the mall. His gaze was fixed on Lin Yu's classmate, who was also Lin Yu's first date—Yoshida Kazumi!

"To be so cautious just to deal with a mere mortal, so this so-called god is nothing more than this. Oh well, although I don't think I'll ever need to use it, I'll just do what I'm told! Little girl, don't blame me, it's your own fault for getting too close to that kid."

He slightly raised his palm, but no one in the bustling shopping mall noticed that an invisible flame was burning fiercely in his palm. Under the control of Seven Sins, the invisible flame attached itself to Yoshida Kazumi without her noticing.

"Alright, it's time to go find them now. Tch, if I didn't need to analyze the rules of each new world in order to use the power of other worlds, why would I need to join forces?"

After taking one last look at the completely oblivious Yoshida Kazumi, Nanami drifted away with the crowd like an ordinary person, while Yoshida Kazumi, still embarrassed by her two-piece swimsuit, remained completely unaware.

"Wow, water parks really are a summer paradise!"

Walking with Shana in a swimsuit paradise, Lin Yu felt his saliva was about to drip down his throat, and he had to slurp it every now and then to keep it from spilling.

Beside him, wearing swimming trunks, Shana, unusually sporting twin ponytails, hopped along, adding a touch of energy to her usually serious personality.

The pink swimsuit perfectly accentuated her petite and youthful figure, a devastating blow to any loli-loving person!

"Your eyes are disgusting!"

Shana stared at Lin Yu with an unfriendly expression, but there was a faint blush on her tender face that she herself did not notice. The contrast between her shyness and her strong appearance made Lin Yu suddenly raise his hand to cover his nose. He was afraid that if he let go, he would lose too much blood and go to report to Gaia and Alaya.

"Tch, why not join them?"

Before coming, Shana and Lin Yu had received an invitation from their classmates, but Lin Yu flatly refused. He was joking, because it was a rare opportunity to win Shana's favor. It would be so boring to be with classmates, as they would be too restrained to even have any ulterior motives.

"It's so boring being with them. Doesn't Shana want to be with me?"

Lin Yu put on a pitiful look, but instead received a side kick from Xia Na. Losing his balance, he caught Xia Na with incredible precision the moment he fell, and the two of them fell into the water.

"Waaah! I can't swim! Shana, save me!"

Lin Yu, who kept shouting like this, clung to Xia Na like a leech. Heaven knows how much this shameless guy took advantage of her. In any case, Xia Na's little face turned bright red.

Don't get me wrong, this time it's not out of embarrassment, it's purely out of anger!

"The water is so deep that even I can stick my head out, why are you pretending to be drowning!"

It took Shana a lot of effort to peel off the plaster covering her body, and then she was given a good beating. They were in shallow water, the water only reached Shana's neck and not even Lin Yu's chest. Anyone could see that this guy was faking it. At least the lifeguards on the shore were dumbfounded: Damn, how can there be such a shameless person in this world!

"Shana is so heartless! She really can't swim!"

Lin Yu did go to the swimming pool when he was a child, but he was too young then. Even though he could swim, he had forgotten most of it over the years. So he was right about that; he really is a landlubber.

"If you can't swim, does that mean you can't even stand up?"

Shana was getting a little frustrated. This guy had once again shown her how shameless he was. That was an absolute defense that even if she used all her strength to shield herself with the Palace of Sacrifice, she wouldn't be able to hurt it in the slightest!

While the two were fooling around, they didn't notice that not far from them, Yoshida Kazumi, who had also come to the water park, had her innocent face contorted with jealousy, which was silently burning...

[We quite like the character Kazumi Yoshida. To avoid any misunderstanding, let me preface this by saying that it's Nanami's power at work here, not a subversion of her original personality. Please understand this distinction. You can think of it as being under control, and this will be lifted later.]

045. Rejected by a little girl?

[Thank you to 'Palely Rendered Sorrow' for the generous donation!]

Under the cover of night, in a quiet, deserted corner, the fiery red lotus and the pale blue cold flames intertwine.

"Ugh!"

Lin Yu held up the ice flame in his hand with a serious expression, as if he was trying to control something.

"Storing up the power of existence and then unleashing it all at once is indeed a good way to maximize its power."

Shana, with her crimson wings spread behind her, watched intently, while Alastor remarked with considerable emotion.

"There's nothing I can do, my strength is still too weak."

Lin Yu will never forget the scene when he tried to freeze Xiu Denan during their battle, but due to insufficient power, it had no effect whatsoever.

To put it bluntly, Xiu Denan had already lost at that time, but because Lin Yu's strength was too weak, he was unable to cause much damage to Xiu Denan even after exhausting all his strength.

Insufficient strength is a fatal flaw!

Lin Yu could use his wits to make his attack successful, but just like an ant in front of a human, no matter how cunning it is, it is still useless. Even if Xiu Denan stood still, Lin Yu could not threaten him.

Strategy can only ever be an aid. Lin Yu has personally experienced how insignificant strategy is in the face of absolute power. He can't think of a way to grow up quickly, but he can think of the possibility of unleashing maximum power in an instant!

"What kind of power do you think would be if the power that could sustain a regular Torch Relay for a month were unleashed in an instant?"

This was the best method Lin Yu could think of after the battle, based on his own situation. The power of existence he possessed could only support Operation Torch for about a month. If he could transform this power of existence into ice flames and unleash it in an instant, then his burst of power would definitely be able to threaten Xiu Denan, instead of being able to helplessly wait for a miracle as before.

After figuring this out, Lin Yu directly asked Alastor about the possibility of doing so, and to his delight, he received a positive answer.

The icy blue flames grew stronger under Lin Yu's tense expression, but Shana suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong!"

"This is just increasing the output; it has to explode instantly." It's like blowing up a balloon and letting it burst versus letting the air flow out—the two are completely different concepts. The former is full of instantaneous explosive power, while the latter is a relatively gentle, gradual progression. What Lin Yu wants is that instantaneous explosive power!

"The method is feasible, but it's too difficult to implement!"

Lin Yu lay down on the lawn without caring about his image. Although he hadn't lost much of his strength, concentrating on controlling the ice flames was already a very tiring task.

"Yes, you've made some progress. Your method is feasible, but even if it succeeds, you only have one chance. If your attack fails, you will lose all ability to fight back."

"Alastoru warned."

"Ah, I understand!"

With a shout, Lin Yu sat up again. Despite being a homebody, he still had the willpower to focus when he was truly dedicated.

However, before he could even ignite his ice flames, their private time was disrupted by an uninvited guest.

“You guys practice here every single night, I really don’t find it annoying.”

Margery Dawson, dressed in her ever-changing dark blue business suit, stood before them, carrying Marcusias in the form of a hardcover book.

"I'm so sorry to bother you on such a hot night, oh hahaha!"

As always, Marcusias, in his rude tone, couldn't resist teasing the two of them, but was naturally ignored.

"Is it about the new atmosphere?"

Feeling utterly exhausted, Lin Yu bluntly stated that normally he might have had the inclination to flirt with Xia Na, but now he truly lacked the energy.

"Yeah, a big guy has arrived, looks like a Flame Haze."

"Although there is no hostility, and they may just be passing by by chance, there is still something remarkable here, so it's always good to be careful."

After the last battle, Margery Daw could basically be considered a comrade-in-arms. At least she wouldn't be dragged into a fight for no reason, especially not the kind of fight where the goal was to kill the other person.

"Don't worry, don't worry, my own life is very precious. If there's a battle, just remember to come and help."

Lin Yu stretched wearily. Although he seemed indifferent, he cherished his life more than anyone else.

"As you may have heard, Xiudnan has probably returned to the masquerade ball."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and Xia Na's expressions turned serious. The former had heard of the masquerade ball before, while the latter knew more about it.

"The masquerade ball, a group of Crimson World Fiends, is led by three people known as 'Trinity': 'The Throne of the Top' Hecate, 'The Judge of Logic' Bellpeor, and 'The Thousand Faces' Shudnan, who once temporarily left."

Since Lin Yu knew nothing about this information, Alastor explained it in as much detail as possible.

"If they start taking action, it will be quite troublesome."

Even Marcusias, who had always acted carefree, sounded somewhat serious.

"It's almost time to consider our future strategy, understand, Lin Yu?"

Lin Yu nodded in agreement with Alastor's words. He understood what Alastor meant. He had clearly seen how excited Shudenan was when he discovered the Zero Time Child inside him. Although he didn't know why, he was certain that when they launched their next attack, it would be a collective mobilization of the entire 'Masquerade Ball'. Staying in the city would obviously be unwise.

"So, you mean we have to leave here?"

Lin Yu had only been in this world for a short time, so he didn't feel any reluctance. Besides, even if he left, Xia Na would still be by his side, so it wasn't difficult for him to accept it.

"Well, whatever."

After their brief meeting, Lin Yu left with Xia Na. He didn't care much about what would happen to him in the future, since he wouldn't be staying in one world for long anyway. His priority now was to go home and sleep.

Tomorrow is a festival, and according to Japanese custom, people should wear kimonos. He is really looking forward to seeing Shana in a kimono tomorrow. Kimono loli and all that, the anticipation is just too strong.

"Shana".

He habitually held Shana in his arms. The two had been sleeping like this for so long that they had long forgotten the rule that they were not allowed to cross the line, a rule known only to God. They even reached the point where they couldn't sleep without each other.

"Ok?"

Having grown accustomed to being held by Lin Yu to sleep, Xia Na had long lost her initial shyness; she was simply puzzled as to why Lin Yu was calling her so late.

"Shall we go to the celebration together tomorrow?"

Although he already considered Shana his "bound loli," Lin Yu still thought it would be better to say something. After all, he had turned down Yoshida Kazumi's invitation for Shana's sake, and Kazumi was a pure and beautiful girl who was no less than Shana!

It's a shame she's not a loli (young girl).

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

To Lin Yu's surprise, Xia Na did not agree directly, but instead gave an ambiguous answer.

"I wanted to give you a surprise tomorrow."

Despite thinking this, Xia Na was in an exceptionally good mood after receiving Lin Yu's invitation. With a sweet smile on her lips, she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. On the other hand, Lin Yu, who was holding Xia Na from behind, couldn't see her expression and suffered from insomnia for half the night...
