A journey into an infinite dimension

However, Kotori still seemed a little worried, so she moved closer to Shiye, hiding her quietly accelerating heartbeat, and looked into her eyes seriously and said.

"understood."

In an instant, he simulated in his mind a plan to use the tools he carried on his body to kill the terrorists silently, but he quickly dismissed this idea and nodded without any impatience.

"Well, I'm coming anyway, so go to school and be careful on your way."

Seeing that Qinli still seemed worried, Shiye gently touched her little head and smiled slightly.

"Well!"

It should have been an intimate interaction that she was already accustomed to, and a beautiful smile that she could see every day, but at this moment, it made Qin Li's heart skip a beat, and her pretty face was suddenly filled with a lovely blush.

This is what it means to be moved——No, no, this is not acceptable!

"Well, well, it's a deal then. You must come even if there's a spacequake!"

In order to get rid of this extremely terrifying thought and feeling, Kotori hurriedly took two steps back, waved to Shiye, and fled away.

"Konori is blushing so much today, even though her temperature is normal."

Looking at Qin Li's back, Shi Ye murmured in confusion.

【Ga～night～】

As Shi Ye finished speaking, a voice filled with resentment and inexplicable coldness suddenly sounded in her mind.

【Shiori, are you awake? 】

Hearing that it was not the usual voice, Shi Ye quickly came to his senses after a brief pause.

[If I don't wake up, will you attack Kotori? ]

A figure quietly appeared beside Shi Ye. Shi Zhi, who was also wearing a school uniform, looked at the girl in front of him with annoyance. The girl's appearance and posture were similar to his, but her temperament was completely different from his, and sneered.

【Start? 】

Walking towards the school calmly, Shiye looked at Shizhi, who was like a ghost and could not see anyone except himself, with his peripheral vision, and asked in his mind in confusion.

Kotori is also her sister, why would she attack Kotori?

[...Forget it, I've had enough sleep, let me take over next.]

Looking at Shi Ye with an innocent face, Shi Zhi was silent for a while, and couldn't help but sighed, not knowing whether it was relief or helplessness.

【it is good. 】

There was no objection, and then in a seemingly normal and natural blink of an eye, Shiye and Shiori completed the transfer of control over the body. At the same time, in the eyes of others, her temperament also changed from the original inexplicable attraction to both men and women to the gentle and elegant Yamato Nadeshiko.

【Then, if there's anything, please let me take over. 】

This time it was Kaya who floated beside Shiori like a ghost, but after returning to his original appearance, he looked like a knight guarding a princess.

Just like other dual personalities, Kaya's 'second personality' also possesses powers that Shiori, the main personality, does not have, so the relationship between the two is actually like that of twins, one bright and one dark. Usually, Shiori, as the main personality, carries out daily activities, while Kaya acts as a guardian and acts on her behalf when necessary.

For example, when Shiori encounters questions he doesn't know how to answer in the exam, when Shiori is in physical education class which he is not good at, or when Shiori wants to be lazy and sleep a little longer.

Simply put, Jiaye is a thug who is responsible for helping Shiori do things that she doesn't want to do.

Of course, in reality, Jiaye's treatment is not so miserable. Occasionally, if he takes the initiative to ask to go out and move around, Shizhi will definitely agree no matter what the circumstances.

[Also, I have an appointment with Kotori today, you know that. ]

[Of course, after all, our memories and perceptions are shared.]

Looking at the school gate right in front of him, Shizhi smiled in his heart while quietly greeting some people he was barely familiar with.

【Come to think of it, today is the opening ceremony of school and the entrance ceremony.】

Looking at the school gate which was obviously very busy, Shizhi suddenly remembered this matter.

【Anyway, for you, it's just a matter of class placement.】

With his arms folded across his chest, Jiaye floated easily beside Shiori, looking at the bulletin board in front of him where a lot of people were crowded together, and asked.

[Do you need me to come over and help you check the class placement? ]

[...Then I'll leave it to you.]

Seeing the situation in front of the bulletin board with the class division list, Shizhi couldn't help but twitch his eyes slightly.

There are so many people, I don’t want to squeeze in.

[Class 4, Grade 2. Your classmates include your old classmate Tonomachi, the Yizi trio, and Tobiichi Origami, who always competes with you for first place in the grade.]

【Isn’t it a fight with you?】

Hearing this, Shizhi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

In fact, Jia Ye was responsible for taking her exams every time. She only needed to flip through the book for Jia Ye to read during normal times, and then she would have secured the top spot in the grade.

She was also very depressed. Why was Jiaye so omnipotent while she was so ordinary even though they were the same person?

Is it because she had too high expectations of him, so she gave birth to Jiaye's second personality, an all-powerful and evil one, based on various unscientific principles?

At the same time, she inevitably felt a little inferior and guilty about this situation.

It is obvious that Jiaye is much smarter than her, but she relies on her identity as the master personality to occupy control of the body for a long time. Isn't this unfair to Jiaye at all?

[Don't overthink it. I am you. I was born to protect you, so you don't need to have such emotions.]

Sensing Shizhi's thoughts, Jiaye gently touched her little head and spoke in a gentle voice.

Although in the state of a conscious body, Kaya can still have touch and mass when facing Shiori alone.

[My abilities are your abilities. Whether it's knowledge or anything else, I'm only using them temporarily. One day, I'll return them to you.]

Although Jiaye said this, Shizhi did not feel excited or excited at all. On the contrary, her mood became a little irritable.

It was like something important was going to be lost, taken away from me.

【Oh. 】

However, she couldn't explain why she had such a feeling, so she just responded to Jia Ye's words somewhat sullenly, and then walked straight towards the classroom.

Did I say something wrong?

Looking at Shizhi's back curiously, Jiaye couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion.

[No, I just feel a little depressed for some reason.]

【Is the class okay? 】

[No problem, no impact.]

After adjusting his mood a little and returning to his normal state, Shiori said softly.

"Hey, Gokawa, I didn't expect that we'd be in the same class this year."

As soon as he walked into the classroom of Class 2-4, a hedgehog-haired boy sitting in the second to last row by the window raised his hand and greeted Shiori.

"Tonomachi, what a coincidence."

He also waved to the boy named Hiroto Tenmachi, and then Shiori walked to the seat behind Hiroto Tenmachi and sat down.

The last position was just what she wanted.

Besides, it is always better to sit around people you know than around people you don’t know.

Then you will be asked all kinds of questions by those people, which will be very annoying.

Now I can only hope that the person sitting next to me is not someone who likes to get to know people.

Glancing at the empty seat next to him, Shiori thought sincerely in his heart.

She was also helpless because Jia Ye, on a whim, made her the top student in the whole grade during an exam last year. So after that, she, who had always been in trouble, was basically faced with a lot of troubles every day, which was very unhappy and annoying.

But she didn't blame Jiaye, after all, she agreed to that thing herself.

Moreover, no matter what he did, she would never blame him, because he was her——

"It's such a coincidence that we were assigned to the same class for several consecutive years. It really makes me feel like this is what they call fate."

Hiroto Tenmachi, who was sitting at the table in front of Shiori, turned around, gently touched his hedgehog hair, and said this while posing in a cool manner.

"Yes, it seems that fate has destined us to be classmates forever."

Facing Hiroto Tenmachi's words, Shiori showed a formulaic smile without taking them to heart, and said words politely but at a distance that drowned the boy's budding love.

"Wow, Gokawa, you're still as ruthless as ever."

Hiroto Tenmachi covered his heart with his hands in an exaggerated manner, and lay on the table with an attitude of "I'm dead, I need comfort before I can be resurrected", which made people laugh.

"If I show some mercy, I'll be harassed by a bunch of horny guys. I hate trouble."

Shizhi remained noncommittal about this.

"Itsuka Shiori."

Just at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came to their ears, calling Shizhi's name.

【Tobiichi Origami.】

"Are you... Tobiichi Origami?"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the cute silver-haired girl standing next to him. Shizhi, who originally didn't know her, finally avoided the embarrassing situation of not being able to call her name thanks to Jiaye's reminder.

Although Shizhi didn't really know this girl, he had only heard of her name.

He is the super genius who competed with Jiaye for the top spot in the grade last year.

"do you remember?"

However, she didn't know if it was Shiori's illusion, but she always felt that after she said Origami Tobiichi's name, her eyes seemed to suddenly soften.

"You mean, the ranking?"

After hearing her words, Shizhi subconsciously felt that the genius in front of him was here to declare war on her, or rather, on Jiaye.

[Note the wording. I am you, so if she really wants to declare war, then the target of her declaration is you, or we.]

Lightly poking Shiori's cheek, Kaye, who was floating beside him, lectured him.

[I was wrong, Jiaye, do you want to come out and face her? ]

The itchy feeling on his face made Shizhi blink, and at the same time, his original depression and unhappiness seemed to disappear inexplicably at this moment.

Because the speed of consciousness communication is much faster than real-life conversation, she did not show any abnormality in front of Origami Tobiichi and Hiroto Tenmachi.

[She has no hostility towards you, it seems she just came to say hello.]

Shaking his head, Jia Ye said.

Then, as if to confirm his words, in reality, after hearing what Shiori said, Tobiichi Origami remained silent for a while, then she pulled out the empty chair next to Shiori and sat down without saying anything.

"Oh, so the two talented girls from Razen High School are having their first face-to-face conversation. And they're sitting next to each other. This is big news."

Hiroto Tenmachi, who no longer pretended to be dead, lowered his voice consciously and exclaimed in amazement.

"Tobiichi... Origami?"

Turning his head to look at Origami Tobiichi's delicate, beautiful and calm profile, Shiori didn't know what he was thinking.

Ding dong————

"Ah, class is starting."

A clear bell rang, and then Hiroto Tenmachi stopped talking, and the other students in the class returned to their seats.

Chapter 137 [Space Shock]

Ding——Dong——

During the ordinary class, time quickly came to the end of school.

"Wuka, do you want to go home together?"

After packing up his things, Hiroto Tenmachi turned to Shiori, who had also packed up his things, and asked.

"No, I have an appointment today."

Shiori, who had endured Origami Tobiichi's peripheral vision for the entire morning, breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Hiroto Tenmachi's invitation, he shook his head slightly and declined.

She had made an appointment with Kotori for lunch today and was going to take her to a family restaurant for a deluxe children's set meal.

"Then I'll go first—"
