"Well, let's put my question aside for now, since there's no solution anyway. But what kind of beings are you who can fight those monsters?"
Lin Yu was genuinely curious, since his memories of this world had been sealed by two wicked little girls, leaving him completely in the dark. He could only rely on his own analysis and the seemingly petite girl in front of him to find out what was going on.
"I am the Flame Haze!"
Shana's answer was simple and blunt, but Lin Yu gained nothing except a sense of bewilderment and awe.
"What the hell is a Flame Haze?"
Lin Yu fully demonstrated the qualities of a model student who asks questions whenever he doesn't understand something, even though he himself hadn't attended school for many years and had learned most of his knowledge at home.
"You really have a lot on your plate!"
Despite her complaints, Shana still provided an explanation: "Flame Haze are those who search for and vanquish the Crimson Denizens who devour existence."
"Oh, I see." Lin Yu slapped his palm and said with sudden realization, "Although there is the torch as a buffer, it is only a buffer in the end. Those monsters are the root of everything. Only by completely eradicating the root can the stability of the world be truly guaranteed. So you are the world police?"
Lin Yu winked at Xia Na. Although he had a smile on his face, Xia Na had an inexplicable urge to punch that annoying face.
"Alright, you've asked all your questions. How long are you planning to stay with me?"
Shana spoke to Lin Yu in a warning tone, but the latter seemed completely oblivious, continuing to follow the little girl as if he didn't know what was going on. To outsiders, it was definitely stalking; if a passing police officer were to catch them, they'd probably be in the police station for a chat before they could leave.
"My home is in this direction too, they can't just not let me go home, can they?"
Lin Yu shrugged innocently. He wasn't lying, after all, according to the memories that Alaya and Gaia had inserted, his home really was in this direction, and his identity was that he came from the Great Celestial Empire to study in the island country and was staying at the home of a distant relative.
"By the way, I haven't asked your names yet, could you tell me, little sister?"
Lin Yu tried his best to put on his brightest smile, but judging from Shana's twitching eyebrows, it obviously didn't have any good effect.
"I have no name, I'm just a Flame Haze."
but.
"Just? That's all? No name? Uh, why do you Flame Haze warriors look down on yourselves like that?"
Lin Yu had tried his best to express his meaning tactfully, but Shana still got angry.
"Urusai urusai urusai, I don't need a name! When I need to distinguish myself from other Flame Haze, I'll just call myself 'Flame Haze of Nietono Shana'!"
“Zhi Dian Zha Na?”
Upon hearing this name, Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, because the pronunciation of Shana and Shana in Japanese is extremely similar.
“Zhi Dian Zhe Na is the name of the great sword that this child possesses.”
The pendant provided Lin Yu with an answer.
"The katana from that era?"
Recalling the scene where the little girl easily defeated the two monsters with her katana, Lin Yu realized that the little girl in front of him seemed to be a ferocious creature as well.
There was no other way; for his own chance of survival, Lin Yu had no choice but to offend this short-tempered little girl.
"How can such a lovely girl not have a name?!"
Lin Yu tried his best to look angry, but no matter how hard he tried, his naturally optimistic face couldn't fake an angry expression.
"This is so annoying! Whether I have a name or not is none of your business!"
That won't do. What if those two little girls kill me if I don't care?
Lin Yu didn't say these words out loud, but after confirming that the little girl in front of him was Shana from the mission, Lin Yu wasn't going to let her off so easily. Anyway, this girl had a thick skin.
"It's decided! The name will be Shana! You see, since your sword is called Nietono Shana, isn't it quite fitting to call you Shana? From now on, you're not just a Flame Haze, but also a cute little girl named Shana, just like I'm not just a torch, but also Lin Yu, a handsome and gentle big brother!"
Lin Yu, taking advantage of the situation, ruffled Shana's hair. The latter was momentarily stunned, but the fierce little girl, realizing what was happening, kicked the weakling Lin Yu away...
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! So why are all the little girls I meet so vicious? It's one thing if they won't be tricked into looking at goldfish with a lollipop, but they're all so strong too."
Lin Yu was on the verge of tears. Gaia and Alaya were one thing, but those two lolis, though incredibly beautiful, were exceptional beings. Even if Lin Yu had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to mess with them... He'd probably die happy if he just secretly wanted to peek at their panties sometime...
The same applies to Shana. Compared to Gaia and Alaya, who like to act young, Shana is much more difficult to please. She might just chop you up at any time. In order to have some self-defense capabilities, Lin Yu decided that he should go back and ask her for advice on how to become stronger. It's rare to come to the world of anime and manga. If he doesn't have enough strength, he won't even have the confidence to open a harem.
To make up for his mistake, Lin Yu decided to win over Xia Na's stomach with food; he didn't believe there was a girl in the world who didn't like snacks.
Lin Yu would never admit that he planned to use food to lure this little girl home... cough cough, even if she couldn't be used as a body pillow, taking her home as his personal bodyguard would be fine!
"But what should we buy? Should we buy one of everything? Or would it be better to buy lollipops?"
Lin Yu ran to a roadside stall by the river and thought and thought but couldn't decide what to buy. However, when he saw a round, light golden bread, Lin Yu felt a voice in his head telling him that buying this would definitely help him achieve his goal!
"That's it!"
Having bought his target, Lin Yu jogged back to Shana's side and handed her the bag of food. If this scene appeared in a Japanese adult film, it would probably soon become an inappropriate scene for children. However, Lin Yu was willing to swear on his integrity that even if there were a hundred more of him, he would definitely not be able to handle this seemingly harmless little girl in front of him. He should just think about that kind of scenario; if he actually did it, he would probably die a horrible death.
Shana glanced suspiciously at Lin Yu, who was offering his help for no reason, and reluctantly reached into the food bag. When she saw what was inside, Lin Yu was surprised to see the eyes of this violent little girl light up.
The next second, Lin Yu was completely dumbfounded. What was this guy doing, looking so happy while eating bread?
005. Kidnapping Shana and Taking Her Home
Why do I have this strange feeling that I can use this bread to take Shana to see the goldfish?
At dusk by the lake, Lin Yu's eyes twitched as he watched the violent little girl sitting next to him, who seemed like a completely different person, eating a bread called a melon bun with an innocent and cute expression.
"Look at goldfish? What's so interesting about goldfish?"
Shana looked up at Lin Yu with some confusion, which made the latter break out in a cold sweat.
"Nothing, nothing, hahaha." Lin Yu chuckled dryly, accidentally blurting out his true feelings. If this fierce little girl knew the real meaning behind his words, Lin Yu felt he could probably report to Gaia and Alaya.
Why do I feel like you're thinking about something bad?
Shana, who had just been wearing a happy expression, instantly turned cold. Her sharp gaze made Lin Yu feel uneasy, as if she were afraid that she would pull out the Nite-dono Zana and stab him.
"An illusion! It must be an illusion! How could someone as upright as me think about such nonsense?!"
Lin Yu put on a serious face and denied it outright. Fortunately, Xia Na's attention was still on the melon bag in her hand, so she didn't investigate further.
"is it?"
Xia Na glanced at Lin Yu suspiciously, but ultimately gave up on pursuing the matter further. "The melon bun is the most important thing in the world," Lin Yu thought, patting his chest with some relief. Thankfully, the melon bun was incredibly attractive to Xia Na. However, after his relief came a touch of sadness.
Damn it, a grown man like him isn't as appealing as a loaf of bread...
"Unfortunately, the difference in combat power is too great. Even if I manage to trick this girl into going to see the goldfish, I'll probably be the one who dies in the end."
At this moment, Lin Yu felt an unprecedented hatred for his weak combat strength. What could be more tragic than being unable to take a little girl to see goldfish because of the vast difference in combat power?
"Forget it, I'd rather not think about those unrealistic things."
With a sigh, Lin Yu abandoned his playful thoughts. It would be unrealistic to say that he felt no pressure at all. After witnessing the fighting power of this world, Lin Yu felt powerless.
Even the two monsters he encountered at the beginning, named Phosphorus, were enough to render him powerless, let alone a fight against someone on the same level as Shana.
“The missions issued by those two lolis Gaia and Alaya will definitely not be completed by me so easily. The name ‘Elegy Singer’ is obviously not one of those two weaklings. There is a greater than 70% chance that she is stronger than Shana. Otherwise, this mission would be meaningless.”
"Although I don't know when the eulogy singer will appear, it's always good to raise Shana's favorability as much as possible during this time. By the way, I also need to find a way to improve my weak combat strength. Ugh, why did those two eternal lolis seal my memories? Even if they sealed them, they could at least tell me what my transmigration benefits are."
Lin Yu was completely clueless. It was no easy task to work with Shana to defeat an enemy who was likely much stronger than her without knowing anything.
"Who cares, let's get this little girl first."
Just as Shana was happily eating her melon bun, a certain gentleman (pervert) beside her had already set his sights on her.
“I’m talking about Shana.” Lin Yu flashed what he considered a perfect smile.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Why are you making such a fuss?"
Her beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowed almost instantly, and Shana stared at Lin Yu with a look of impatience.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that look on your face that says you're going to chop me up if I don't give you a reasonable explanation? Don't forget, I bought that melon bun for you!"
As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to be grateful," and in order to avoid being wiped out by the two eternal lolis, Lin Yu didn't mind making his already thick skin even thicker.
"Tch, just tell me what's on your mind."
Shana pursed her lips, but she didn't glare at Lin Yu with that murderous look anymore.
"Ahem, it's already so late. Shana, do you have a place to rest tonight?"
The operation to kidnap a little girl begins!
"What do you mean?"
Her gaze, which had just softened, instantly sharpened again. Despite her petite figure, she was far from naive, having spent years traveling the world alone to eliminate Crimson Denizens.
"What I mean is, you probably don't have anywhere to stay tonight, right? Would you like to come to my place?"
Lin Yu shrugged and spoke frankly and openly.
"No need, I still need to find that Crimson World Disciple hiding in this city."
"I knew you'd say that," Lin Yu said with an expression that said he already knew. "I remember you once said that I had some kind of treasure hidden inside me, right?"
“It’s a Noble Phantasm!” Shana corrected. “Mystice refers to a Noble Phantasm created by Crimson Denizens or a torch of pure power. When the torch burns out, the Noble Phantasm inside will transfer to another torch. It can also be understood as a ‘traveling treasure’.”
"I see. Although I still can't understand what kind of power a so-called Noble Phantasm possesses, judging from the fact that Phosphorus tried to take the 'Noble Phantasm' from my body even when the situation was at a complete disadvantage, it must be something quite precious, right?"
Lin Yu stroked his chin and analyzed.
"What are you trying to say?" Shana frowned even more, realizing she couldn't keep up with the strange torch's train of thought at all.
"Well, isn't that obvious? Knowing that there's a treasure hidden inside me, that little doll will definitely go back to report to her so-called master, who you call a Crimson World Disciple. Judging from the actions of those monsters, they seem to really want the treasure inside me. In that case, instead of you going to all the trouble of searching for it, it's more convenient for you to just stay by my side and wait for them to come to you. What if I get attacked while you're not around? Wouldn't that be a wasted opportunity to deal with them?"
Lin Yu shrugged and continued, "As you just saw, I have no combat ability. If I encounter those monsters, I'll be dead. Since your target is them, it should be more efficient for you to stay by my side than to wander around aimlessly, right? Plus, I'll gain a bodyguard. Both of us can achieve our goals. How about it? This deal shouldn't be a loss, right?"
"Hmm, what you said does make some sense." It wasn't Shana who answered Lin Yu, but the pendant on her snow-white, slender neck that shimmered with flames like a red lotus.
"Right?" Lin Yu was finding the pendant more and more appealing.
"But why do I refuse to be led by the nose by you?"
Shana looked at Lin Yu with a scrutinizing gaze. Although she knew what he said was true, she didn't want to give in to his wishes when she saw the confident smile on his face.
"It's clearly a torch, but it's so arrogant!" Shana pouted unhappily.
Lin Yu's lips twitched twice. He was a little too excited. What if he really messed things up?
"Never mind, it's just a mere torch."
Just as Lin Yu was inwardly cursing, the serious expression on Xia Na's face vanished, and she happily ate the melon bun in her hand again, ignoring the frantic Lin Yu.
"What are you still standing there for?" Shana suddenly turned around and said to Lin Yu.
"?" Lin Yu looked completely bewildered.
