Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

She is not good at getting along with the opposite sex, especially those with fierce faces.

Since entering the Ouroboros is through a special space magic device, and the area entered each time is also random among all the areas in the dungeon.

Therefore, in order to avoid disputes between different teams, the Adventurer's Association has specially arranged personnel to limit the number of people who can enter the dungeon at any one time.

By the way, if it weren't for the use of space magic like Akatsuki, who teleported directly to the Reg family when they were in danger, it would be almost impossible to encounter people who entered the dungeon in different batches in Ouroboros.

"That's because of Brother Xiao. After all, a man surrounded by so many girls is likely to be envied by other men."

"So that's how it is."

"Let's go, we're going in."

"knew…"

As soon as they passed through the magic circle, Xiao, Annie and Wendy, the three members who had been to Ouroboros before, immediately drew their weapons and were extremely cautious about their surroundings.

Even though they had never entered this dungeon before, Crystal and the others noticed that the environment they were in was full of strangeness.

"Something's not right here, is it?"

“It feels like I’ve jumped from the world of fantasy to the world of science fiction.”

Xiao looked helplessly at the high-tech silver-white metal walls around him, which formed a sharp contrast with the gray-black stone walls of the original Ouroboros.

"W-Why did you go straight to the seventh floor?"

Wendy, who had reached the seventh floor, was very confused by the situation before her.

"This is the seventh floor. Be careful, there's a strange flow of magic."

Before Crystal could sigh, she noticed something popping up not far to the right of the group.

Several beautiful girls wearing strange mechas suddenly attacked the group with hostility.

"Are these... dolls created by demons? But why..."

Because of the power of the Holy Heart, Rose was very surprised by the attacker in front of her.

The so-called magic puppet is an alchemical puppet driven by magic and has no life.

But although these attackers' bodies were made of metal, Rose felt that they had souls.

Based on what Crystal had taught her, this situation should have been impossible.

With a clang, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao.

"Xiao, are you okay?"

The sword in his hand had fallen to the ground, and his hand was shaking constantly.

"Sister Dora?"

"I, I'm fine... Don't be so nervous."

Dora's body also showed abnormalities.

She suddenly fell to the ground, her face pale and covered in cold sweat.

The necklace around her neck, which contained her true body, also began to glow with an unsettling light.

"Annie, Your Highness Yuliana, please take care of Xiao and Dora.

Wendy and I will prepare the magic together, Sera will be responsible for guerrilla cover, and Rose, please take Xiao's position and support Lucy."

Crystal saw that Lucy, who was blocking the attack for the group, was about to collapse.

She acted decisively and immediately issued orders to others.

"I see."

"I can help too..."

"Miss Anne, your previous injury hasn't healed yet, right?"

"this…"

"And Xiao and Dora are very important to us, so I hope you can take good care of them too."

Crystal also glanced at Yuliana beside her. She was also a little dissatisfied with Crystal's arrangement.

"I understand. Leave this troublesome guy to Annie and me. You should also be careful."

Crystal smiled and threw the magic she had already cast at the attacker.

Even when she was talking to Anniuliana, she did not stop chanting in her heart and preparing magic.

But the magic did not cause much damage to the enemy.

"This is troublesome."

Crystal had a nauseating feeling, the same nauseating feeling she had felt when she was holding Paul back at the Macaulay mansion.

[What, what’s going on…why, why…]

Xiao looked at Crystal and the others with trembling hands as the battle situation gradually became disadvantageous, and his heart was in panic and anxiety.

He realized that the system panel that brought him to the other world suddenly disappeared.

He is now an ordinary person again, an ordinary person that can be found anywhere on the earth.

Now, not only can he not use the special skills of the plug-in, he doesn’t even have the strength to lift Jian Xiao when he uses it normally.

Not to mention helping others, Xiao now doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.

【According to Wen Jielin? According to Wen Jielin?】

He tried to find the reason, but the girl who always made trouble in Xiao's heart did not respond at all.

"Brother Xiao, are you okay?"

While using magic to protect others, Annie looked at Xiao anxiously.

"No, nothing..."

Xiao felt a strange feeling, he felt like he was two different people now.

He looked at Crystal and the others very rationally, trying to think of a way to deal with the current situation.

The other self was extremely panicked and frightened, and kept apologizing to them in frustration.

[I shouldn't have gotten them involved. It's all my fault...]

"Rose!"

Seeing the familiar figure being knocked away by the giant hammer, Xiao cried out in pain.

"Brother Xiao, calm down first. I'm going to trouble you with Yuliana!"

Anne took out her weapon and tried to fill Rose's gap.

However, an attacker girl had already taken advantage of the opportunity and got into the back row, intending to chop Wendy with a sword.

"Tsk! Wendy, back off."

Crystal tried hard to block the attack with her staff, but the staff was cut into two pieces.

"This is a bit bad..."

"Kristo!"

Seeing the blood staining her clothes, she gave a bitter smile that was slightly painful.

Not far away, Lucy was also knocked away by a powerful magic.

"It's like this again... It's all my fault..."

"Xiao, you, you didn't..."

Yuliana's words didn't reach Akatsuki's ears, and he fainted.

「Ah, it’s like this again. Why, why am I…」

*

Xiao found himself in a pure white space. Just as he was confused about his situation, the sound of dripping rain was heard around him.

Images gradually emerged in the pure white space around them.

A teenage middle school student was crying in front of a portrait, his left hand still in a cast.

"Although I know I've forgotten a lot of things, that girl Ayase will definitely be mad at me, right?"

Xiao recalled that this was his sister's funeral.

That spring, he and his sister Sakurai Ayase were involved in a car accident.

At that time, Xiao wanted to hug her sister and try to protect her, but she was pierced in the abdomen by the protruding metal from behind and died from excessive blood loss.

But Xiao only had a broken left arm.

Why do I forget these things?

Chapter 147 Fragments of the Past I Don’t Want to Recall

As the sound of rain gradually fades, the scene changes again.

This time, Xiao saw herself crying in front of the door of the hospital emergency room a few years ago, while Nao's sister Ruri was comforting her with a sad look on her face.

【Nao...】

Memories that were so vague that they could be considered forgotten gradually revived.

Xiao recalled how Nao had been in very dangerous situations several times, and how she, already a high school student, could only cry like a child...

【Why, why did I forget? 】

"Xiao, this is not your fault."

"But, but if I had..."

If I had accepted Nao's confession at that time, would she not have done such a thing?

The words choked in Xiao's throat.

He understood very clearly that everything was his own fault.

If I had realized Nao's feelings earlier and not deliberately tried to match her up with Masato, things wouldn't have turned out like this, right?

Even if he just looked at his past self, the thoughts and regrets of that time flooded into Xiao's mind.

The scene changed again, and the originally neat hospital turned into a dark cave.

At that time, Xiao was lying on the ground seriously injured, and a beautiful young black-haired girl was standing behind him.

In order to protect Xiao and several companions behind her, she is confronting a white-haired man who exudes a strange aura.

The picture seemed to be still, and everyone was motionless.

Memories that had been attempted to be erased were recalled again.

This happened shortly after Akatsuki first came to this world.

Unlike the second time, this time he and the others did not come to this world because of a summons.

Everyone was innocently dragged into this war because the people of this world used special space weapons.

Most of us come from different eras, or even from Earth in parallel universes with different histories.

But fate is always something mysterious and unpredictable.

Xiao kept staring at the young girl standing in front of everyone.

【Sister Ai Mei...】

The memories of the past gradually became very clear, and kept appearing in Xiao's mind like a movie.

When he was a child, he, Nao, and Ayase were taken to Aimei's home to be fitting models and wear clothes that she made.

Keaimei only likes to make clothes for girls, so Xiao is forced to wear women's clothes every time.

When Ayase passed away unexpectedly, Nao and Aimi moved to their own home for a while to take care of their parents who could not return home.

In order to comfort the emotionally unstable Xiao, the two of them had fallen asleep together many times while holding him.
