The shuttle in the second dimension

　"You - have had your blood sucked by Lin Xuan, right?" Suddenly, a voice like a child whose most beloved thing was taken away sounded.

　"Hmm - Agurola, what are you talking about!? What do you mean by being sucked blood by Teacher Lin Xuan? Could it be that Teacher Lin Xuan is not a human being, but a vampire?" As soon as the word "Hmm" came out, Xuecai realized that something was wrong and quickly corrected herself.

　Taking in all the changes in Setsuna's expression from the moment she asked the question until now, Agurola finally confirmed what he was thinking.

　"It seems that Lin Xuan still cares about you very much. He didn't turn you into his Blood Servant all at once~~~" As if he didn't hear what Xue Cai said, Agurora puffed up his cheeks and talked to himself unhappily.

　However, these words that sounded like her own mumbling shocked Xuecai, and her amber eyes looked at Agurola in shock.

　"Could it be that Teacher Lin Xuan said so? No, otherwise Agurola wouldn't have asked me that. How did she know that?" Xue Cai kept speculating in her heart how Agurola knew about this matter. She didn't know how to reply to Agurola.

　"Are you curious about how I knew this, Setsuna?" As if he could see through Setsuna's inner thoughts, Agurola muttered with puffed cheeks.

　"!!!" Looking at Agurola in front of her, with a puffy face and an unhappy look, like a child whose most beloved thing was taken away, Xuecai was a little at a loss...

　"Although the bite mark on your neck is very small, and you may not even be able to see it even if you look carefully, but for me who is very familiar with that kind of bite mark, I will still notice it." Grabbing the pillow on the sofa, holding it in his arms, and resting his chin on the pillow, Agulola said that he was very unhappy.

　"Why, Agurola, are you so familiar with that bite mark? Could it be that?" As if she thought of something, Xue Cai turned her gaze to Agurola's white and smooth neck.

　However, I found that there was no bite mark, not even a single scar, and it was like a round piece of white jade.

　"Are you looking for the bite mark on my neck?" Agulora, hugging the pillow and puffing his face, looked at Xuecai with resentment and said...

　"Uh--" After being exposed by Agurola, Yukina was a little at a loss and directly avoided Agurola's eyes full of resentment.

　"Don't bother. I'm different from you."

　At this moment, a purple light bloomed in the living room.

　Just as Setsuna was about to make a defensive move, she caught sight of the figure within the purple light. "Teacher Nana Yue!" Clearly, Setsuna, having recently moved in, had no idea that the teacher who had handled her enrollment paperwork, Nangong Nayue, lived across the street from her.

　However, along with Nazuki, there also appeared a girl in a maid outfit, who was Astaroute who had been following Nazuki recently.

　"Huh?! Little girl from the Lion King Agency!? Why are you in my house?" Na Yue asked in confusion, frowning slightly.

　"Eh!?" When Na Yue revealed her identity (hx), Xue Cai's heart suddenly panicked.

　"I asked her to come over for dinner." Suddenly, Lin Xuan's voice came from the kitchen door.

　Then, Lin Xuan slowly walked to the dining table carrying two plates of food he had prepared.

　"Hmph!!" Na Yue snorted coldly at Lin Xuan's words and said nothing more.

　After putting the food away, he looked at Na Yue in the living room, her face sullen, hugging her pillow and puffing her cheeks. 5.6 looked at Agurola, who was looking at him with resentment, and there was also a flustered and somewhat bewildered Setsuna. The only person in the living room who was acting normal at the moment was the "three-no" girl standing beside Na Yue—Astaruddy. Retracting his gaze, Lin Xuan shook his head and sighed softly.

　"Dinner is ready." In order to disrupt the atmosphere, Lin Xuan reminded the three women in the living room.

　"kindness"

　"coming"

　"kindness"

　"kindness"

　……

　It was surprisingly quiet at the table. Everyone was quietly eating their food, and no one said a word.

　"Oh my god, what's going on? I'm not used to it being so quiet here." Lin Xuan muttered helplessly as he glanced at Na Yue and the others.

Chapter 2: Untitled

　Although Lin Xuan desperately wanted to break the awkward situation, he glanced at the cold, icy glint in Na Yue's eyes and curled his lips helplessly. "He's throwing a tantrum again. Look at the Chinese website," he muttered to himself. Afterward, Lin Xuan ate his meal in silence, giving up the idea of ​​breaking the awkward atmosphere.

　Although, when he first became the Fourth True Ancestor and told her his purpose, Na Yue did not stop his plan, and even did not care too much about the fact that he had been hiding his plan to become the Fourth True Ancestor from her, but this does not mean that she has no feelings for him. Although half a year has passed since this incident, Na Yue still has not completely let it go.

　Therefore, if it is possible to avoid provoking Na Yue, Lin Xuan will try his best not to provoke Na Yue.

　Agurola and Setsuna also noticed the awkward situation, so they didn't say anything and just ate their meals quietly.

　The meal was spent in this quiet and awkward atmosphere.

　……

　In the kitchen

　After bringing the used dishes into the sink, Lin Xuan placed his palm above the dishes. The next moment, a strange force emanated from Lin Xuan's palm, covering the dishes.

　Then, a magical thing happened. The soup and stains on the bowls and chopsticks began to slowly decrease. No, it’s not so much decreasing as it is regressing. Yes, it was regressing. The time of these bowls and chopsticks was now going backwards.

　Back in time, this is such a horrifying thing, however, such a horrifying thing happened in such an ordinary kitchen.

　This power comes from the power that Lin Xuan plundered from Chronos - [Master of Time].

　This power allows him to arbitrarily adjust and control time, but the prerequisite is that he has enough power to activate this power.

　The greater the change he makes to time, the greater the consumption. At the same time, the stronger the influence on the object of his action, the greater the consumption will be.

　Although the eleventh best beast [Water Crystal White Steel] also has the ability to reverse time, Lin Xuan doesn't dare to use it casually. Although it only has the ability to reverse time, the power it possesses is indeed difficult to control. If you are not careful, it is possible to cause the time of everyone around him except him to reverse rapidly, and it is irreversible. Therefore, Lin Xuan will not use this beast casually before he is sure that he can control it well.

　However, the consumption of [Water Crystal White Steel] is relatively small compared to [Time Master], but in terms of control, [World Master] is easier to control. At the same time, the direction in which [Time Master] can evolve is much more than [Water Crystal White Steel].

　Ahem~~~We’ve strayed off topic, let’s get back to the point.

　Looking at the brand new dishes in the sink, Lin Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put the clean dishes back into the disinfection cabinet.

　I don't know if Chronos will be so angry that he will descend to the earth again, become the god of disobedience, break the barrier between the worlds, rush over and strangle Lin Xuan to death because Lin Xuan used the power he plundered from him to do such a thing.

　"Okay, let's go."

　Just as Lin Xuan walked out of the kitchen, he saw Xuecai walking towards him.

　"What? Are you going back?!" Just as Xue Cai opened her mouth to say something, Lin Xuan spoke first.

　"Eh!?" Xue Cai muttered in confusion, 'Are all my thoughts reflected on my face? How come Lin Xuan and Aguro La know what's in my mind before I even say anything!?'

　Seeing Xue Cai's surprised expression, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled. "Let's go out and talk. I also have something to tell you."

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan pulled up Xue Cai, who had not yet decided whether to agree to Lin Xuan's request, and stepped directly into a space crack that appeared beside him at some point.

　call--

　The oncoming sea breeze blew Xuecai's hair. Feeling the chill of the night sea breeze, Xuecai shook her body slightly.

　Suddenly, Xuecai felt a weight on her shoulder. When she turned around, she found that Lin Xuan had taken out a coat from somewhere and put it on her.

　"Thank you, Teacher Lin Xuan."

　"Well~~~, today's scene is indeed a bit awkward. Actually~~~how should I put it, don't take Na Yue's attitude just now to heart. She is just like that, a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Besides, well~~~how should I put it, as an active professional magician of the Special Zone Guard, Na Yue doesn't like the Lion King Organization very much." Lin Xuan chuckled as he raised his head slightly and looked at the stars embedded in the night sky.

　"Yes, I know. I can sense that Teacher Yue has no ill will towards me."

　"It's good to know."

　"Hey - Xuecai, have you ever thought about escaping from the Lion King Agency?" Lin Xuan said suddenly.

　"Eh!? Teacher Lin, Lin Xuan, what do you mean by this?" Xuecai took a step back and looked at Lin Xuan warily. She didn't know what Lin Xuan wanted to do by asking such a question.

　"The Lion King Organization wants to control me, the so-called, incomplete Fourth True Ancestor, and make me their tool. Hey~~~~Xue Cai, do you think I will agree?" Lin Xuan said with a smile, narrowing his blue eyes.

　"No, senior will not allow this to happen." Although they didn't spend much time together, Xuecai understood that this young man in front of her, who always had a faint smile on his face, would never accept that he would become a tool in the hands of others. Since he could not accept it, he would inevitably have disputes and fights with the Lion King Agency.

　"Well, I can't accept it~~~ But speaking of tools, Xuecai, you and I are the same, being treated as tools. Don't refute me, and don't say that you were not trained by the Lion King Agency to be a tool to fight the demons. It's just that they formalize their actions by giving them a so-called righteousness." Although there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the words that came out of Lin Xuan's mouth were indeed extremely cold.

　Lin Xuan spoke openly about the words she had been unwilling to admit, causing Xuecai to tremble violently. The fact that she had gone to so much trouble to conceal was finally revealed by Lin Xuan, and the shock she felt was immense.

　Looking at Xuecai's gradually pale face, Lin Xuan's mouth corners unconsciously curled up into an arc of satisfaction.

Chapter 100: Visitors from the Library "LCO"

　After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Xue Cai clenched her fists tightly, and even her knuckles began to turn pale.

　His entire body seemed to be trembling with excitement. "Teacher Lin Xuan~~~Why, why~~~~~"

　"Why do you always push me to this point?! It was the same last time, and it is the same this time, why!!!" Xuecai shouted loudly with her head lowered.

　"I don't want to know what you said!!!"

　"Don't want to know!?" Lin Xuan suddenly sneered.

　"Hey - Xuecai-chan, sometimes~~~~Do you want to know that some things are not up to you to decide~~~~Just like now." Lin Xuan whispered, raising his right hand slightly and feeling the air flowing through his fingers.

　"Teacher Lin Xuan, why are you telling me all this?" It seemed that because of Lin Xuan's words just now, Xuecai's mood at this moment seemed a little depressed. She looked like an abandoned kitten, pitiful and delicate.

　"What's it for?" Lin Xuan whispered like a whisper. "Who knows~~~" Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

　"Actually, Setsuna-chan, you should have noticed, both last time and this time, the undisguised intentions I revealed after forcing you to the point of 'no retreat'."

　"So Teacher Lin Xuan, you said those words in front of me on purpose, just to make me disappointed with the Lion King machine and quit it? Teacher Lin Xuan." Xue Cai raised her head and looked straight at Lin Xuan and said.

　"It's not impossible if you understand it this way." Lin Xuan said while looking at Xue Cai.

　"Why? Why would you go to such lengths?"

　"First, you're the Sword Wizard sent by the Lion King to monitor me. If I can turn you against them, it'll be good for me. Second, you're a high-quality psychic. Turning you against them and keeping you by my side will also be good for me. Third, you're a beautiful girl. Turning you against them and keeping you by my side won't be a loss for me. Fourth, as we're both considered tools by the Lion King, I want to help you. Fifth~~~~~~"

　Having said this, Lin Xuan paused, leaned forward slightly, and whispered beside Xuecai's blushing face, "Your body is marked as mine. You belong to me, so I don't want you to run away, Xuecai."

　"——" Feeling the hot air brushing past her ears, Xuecai took a step back with a flushed face. She didn't know why, but ever since Lin Xuan sucked her blood, she always had a strange feeling towards him, a feeling that she couldn't explain clearly.

　"Teacher Lin Xuan, please, please don't do this!! Besides, I don't belong to you." Xuecai shouted with a red face, covering the place on her neck that had been bitten by Lin Xuan.

　Looking at Xue Cai's cute appearance, Lin Xuan just had the urge to tease her, but suddenly, a piece of information suddenly popped up in his mind and made him frown.

　"You came at a really bad time," Lin Xuan whispered.

　Then, he put away the smile on his face and said to Xuecai, whose face was flushed red, with a helpless look on his face.

　"I originally wanted to tease Xuecai, but something suddenly happened, so I can only send you back first." As he said that, a dark crack with a purple glow suddenly opened up from behind Xuecai, like a ferocious big mouth.

　"No! My duty is to monitor you, I can't--ah!!" Before Xuecai could finish her words, Lin Xuan stretched out his finger and gently pushed it on Xuecai's fair forehead.

　Afterwards, Xuecai sank directly into the dark space crack.

　"Yukina-chan, the time when I want you to supervise is the time when you can supervise, at least during the period when you are still the sword wizard of the Lion King Agency." Looking at the void in front of him gradually returning to its original state, Lin Xuan chuckled.

　"Okay, now it's time to meet those 'guests' who have disturbed me." As Lin Xuan continued to move forward, a dark crack surrounded by purple light suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, Lin Xuan, like Xuecai before, plunged directly into the dark space crack.
