I have no regrets about my 2D world!

With a slight sigh, it can be seen that Kotori did not really believe what Bai said, but she still gave Bai an explanation.

"Mana is learning the technology of the manifestation device from me recently, it's nothing."

"Manifestation device, then Kotori, do you know why Mana wants to learn these?"

Logically speaking, since Mana hasn't been transformed and doesn't need to deal with elves or anything like that, there should be no reason for her to spend a lot of time learning these techniques.

"Maybe it's to protect someone."

Protect someone? Shiori? Thinking back, Shiori really didn't seem to have much fighting ability. Maybe it was because of the time when they were being hunted that Shin wanted to learn fighting skills to protect Shiori.

Bai naturally excluded himself from the list. He didn't think that it was because he had no ability to rescue them from the people who were chasing them that he couldn't think of it. Otherwise, it would be too stupid.

However, Mana is obviously not that kind of person, so even though Bai knows that Mana seems to have special feelings for him, he doesn't think that she is learning it to protect herself.

After all, it seems a bit ridiculous to want to protect someone who is stronger than yourself.

So, it must be for Shiori.

After thinking clearly about the reason, Bai couldn't help but sigh:

"They have such a good relationship as sisters."

Hearing Bai's emotional remarks, Qinli, who was about to turn around to pour a cup of tea, paused for a moment, glanced at him, and then continued to pour tea.

"So don't worry, nothing will happen with me here. Would you like some tea?"

"No need. Now that I've confirmed that you and Kotori are fine, I'll leave first. I have things to do later."

"...Fine."

Looking at Bai's departing back, Qin Li was silent for a while and sighed.

"Hey, you obviously know everything, why do you still do this?"

Chapter 47 The story ends just as it begins

"..."

who am I?

Where am I?

Or, what am I?

In the void of space, a crystal formed from something unknown was floating quietly, emitting a faint light from time to time, indicating that it had its own consciousness.

"Don't ask anymore, I don't know where this is!"

"I don't even know where this is, how am I supposed to know how to get out?"

A consciousness came from the crystal, as if communicating with someone.

"You've asked this question so many times!"

The owner of consciousness spoke impatiently, but she did not notice that no matter who she was talking to, she had already answered many times.

Today, the cycle of her asking and her answering is still repeating.

She had always thought that this situation would continue until the person they created appeared. They couldn't just appear out of thin air, right? But today, an accident happened.

As they continued their conversation, a figure dressed in black and white approached.

"Is this the aura that this thing carries? It feels so familiar..."

The figure said so.

But she didn't feel happy when she heard the voice. After all, she didn't know whether this figure was good or bad for them. So she decided to observe what this figure wanted to do.

"Little guy, do you...have your own consciousness?"

Did he see something? She didn't dare to express her consciousness in the crystal, and could only remain silent.

However, the other consciousness that had been talking to her did not intend to remain silent.

The crystal suddenly flashed and then slowly floated into the man's hand.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The consciousness was suddenly surprised.

"We don't even know who he is, or whether he's good or bad, so why did you just go there?"

"What familiar feeling? Tell me again..."

As if sensing something, that consciousness fell silent again, hiding in the deepest part, and was replaced by another consciousness.

The other consciousness seemed very happy, and the crystal kept emitting light, as if telling of its existence.

The figure smiled and said something incoherent. Born later, she wasn't as mature as her predecessor, unable to articulate her actions. She was barely aware of the outside world, only feeling a familiar aura gradually enveloping her.

During this long period of time, only another consciousness that was in the same container as her and was born earlier than her could understand what she meant.

But it was obvious that that consciousness was not willing to come out at this moment.

She desperately wanted to seek help and establish contact with the figure, but there was nothing she could do.

Finally, the figure seemed to say something, and another consciousness came in. She greeted it with ecstasy, but her still incomplete consciousness could only transmit a few syllables to the consciousness that came in.

"...Father...Bai...I..."

Then there was silence again.

Feeling the consciousness exploring her body with an unskilled technique and then retracting it, she became a little panicked, afraid that the figure would leave.

However, before she could make any move, the figure began to absorb the energy in her body.

Feeling the energy drain away, she didn't resist, even though she might disappear once the energy was gone. Fortunately, the figure didn't absorb it all, retaining a portion for her. However, she no longer had the ability to transmit her consciousness.

"Are you really not going to stop it? You almost disappeared!"

The hidden consciousness finally reappeared and kept scolding her.

"Ahhh! You really pissed me off! This guy, I'm going to make him pay when we get out!"

That consciousness kept venting, but it had no way to deal with the figure outside.

During the following period of time, that consciousness also wanted to leave, but was always stopped by her. After getting angry several times, it hid again.

Time passed slowly. At some point, the figure began to channel energy into them. She greedily absorbed it, wanting more so she could mature faster. But each time, the figure only gave her just enough energy to absorb, never more, which left her feeling frustrated.

After an unknown amount of time, the figure's aura suddenly trembled, as if he made a movement, and then she felt the breath outside.

She controlled the crystal and flew in front of the figure. Although she didn't consciously transmit it, the figure could see that she wanted to leave, but was rejected.

She just stood in front of the man, as if she wanted to maintain a stalemate, but the man said something, injected energy into her body again, and walked into the door connected to the outside air.

She wanted to follow him, but as soon as the man entered, the door disappeared.

She stopped shaking to attract the man's attention and quietly absorbed the energy he had given her before leaving. After accumulating for a while, it seemed as if she had finally reached a bottleneck. Her consciousness could clearly express information.

"Father..."

Just as he was about to speak to that person, he remembered that he had already left, and he fell silent again. Even the crystal dimmed a little.

"Okay, don't be sad. This time, he actually got something out of it. But that's what he should have done anyway."

Another consciousness came out, comforting her.

"From now on, you just need to grow up normally, and you'll be able to go out and find him soon. Then we can ask him why he did this."

The small crystal flickered slightly, as if to indicate understanding, and then fell silent. However, the surrounding energy surged towards the small crystal at a faster speed than before.

After an unknown amount of time, the little crystal suddenly stopped absorbing energy.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"Okay then, I won't stop you this time."

"...Thank you."

"..."

No more news came. Suddenly, Little Crystal's body glowed with dazzling light. A moment later, a purple-haired girl in a purple dress appeared in her place.

Looking at her body, the girl smiled.

"Father, Bai, I'm coming to see you!"

Then a large white sword appeared in her hand, cutting through the space here, and the girl walked in without hesitation.

......

"Oh, is it today?"

Bai said calmly as he looked at the girls in front of him who were ready to leave.

"That's right! Today is the day that Mijiu is holding a grand celebration."

"Correction, there was no celebration."

"It's just a metaphor, a metaphor!"

"Sneak! The metaphor used by Yakushi is not at all realistic."

"What is Bai thinking about?" Origami noticed that Bai seemed a little absent-minded and asked with some confusion.

"Ah, nothing much. I was just thinking that Miku should have prepared a place for us. We should hurry over there. If we're late, there will be a lot of people. It will be very crowded then."

Shiro waved his hand in response to Origami's question.

But I don’t think so in my heart.

I glanced at the calendar on the wall. Is today the 10th? I have a feeling something's about to happen...

Chapter 48: Strange Girl

On the way to the concert, everyone was talking and laughing as they walked. Because the concert was not far away, everyone walked there.

Yamai and the other two were playing around in the front, and Nanashi slowly joined in. Meanwhile, Yoshino and Origami walked slowly beside Shiro, one on each side, chatting occasionally.

Niya and Rokuko were not interested in the concert, so they did not come out and were busy with their own things at home.

"Bai, I heard from Miku that you are also her fan, right?" Origami looked at Bai curiously and asked.

"Yes, I happened to go to a concert and found it was really good."

"Does Bai like her?" Shino suddenly asked.

"Well, I do like him, but it's not the kind of liking you imagine. It's just the kind of liking a normal fan has for their idol."

Bai smiled softly. He naturally knew what Origami and the other girl were asking. He had no intention of deceiving them; Bai simply felt a slight interest in Miku.

They haven't even spent a single day together alone, so how could any relationship develop?

"Instead of blaming me, you should worry about yourself. Miku is very difficult to deal with."

Listening to Bai's seemingly gloating words, Origami couldn't help but show a trace of distress on her face.

During this period of time, I spent time with Meijiu. At first, I felt that Meijiu was quite polite, but after getting to know her, I found that Meijiu seemed to have some impure thoughts and was always thinking of various ways to get close to them.

It's not known whether Yui and Yakuya cared or didn't notice, so they didn't show any abnormality, but Origami, who was more sensitive to this aspect, felt a little tricky.

Nanashi and Yoshino didn't attract much attention from Miku due to their size, and were only occasionally held in her arms. But it was a different story for Origami and Yamai.

She always wanted to get closer to me for all sorts of strange reasons, but then strangely, she didn't do anything. If she just wanted to be close, her tone and expression were clearly wrong.

This made Origami feel distressed, and she could only avoid Miku a little on weekdays. Of course, like Origami, Shiori was also often harassed by Miku.

As for Niya and Rokuko, Niya rarely left the room after she knew Miku came, so naturally she would not be harassed. Of course, she rarely came out before Miku came, but not as outrageous as she is now. She never came out except when eating.

Rokuko clearly refused with a very firm attitude. Seeing Rokuko like this, Miku didn't want to pester her anymore and could only go to Origami and the others who had relatively gentle personalities.

"What's with Miku's strange personality? She seems cheerful, so why does she have a special liking for this?"

Origami was a little confused and started playing with her long hair.

"Well, could it be that it's because of the shock that Shiro mentioned earlier about Miku that she became like this?"

Shion thought about what Shiro had said before and spoke softly.

Was she ever hurt before? Origami thought about it for a moment and it seemed Shiro had mentioned that Miku was hurt by the concert. It was then that Shiro helped her, and that's how they met. Perhaps that was the reason.

"Okay, there's no need to guess anymore. After you get to know each other better, why don't you just ask Mijiu directly? She probably won't refuse you."
