A journey into an infinite dimension

"Come to think of it, you and Tohka also ran out together, right?"

"Because I'm worried about you, sister!"

"Are you eating a lollipop?"

"No, no! You're dreaming, sis!"

So, while others were either helpless or naive, the sisters of the Gokawa family started quarreling - although the content of their conversation was more about caring for each other than quarreling.

"Anyway, Fraxinus is ready to reclaim you. Be prepared."

Kotori reluctantly disposed of the half-eaten Chupa Chups and angrily brought an end to the sisterly quarrel.

"Commander, please give me the Chupa Pearls. I, Kami Nozuki Kyouhei, will risk everything for you, just to have the Chupa Pearls licked by your sweet tongue and saliva!"

Just when Kannazuki Kyouhei was halfway through his perverted speech, he was kicked away by Kotori, and then carried away by two muscular men, each holding one of his hands.

"No, Commander, please don't send me to a concentration camp. Just a concentration camp—"

Amidst the wails that brought tears to everyone who heard them and heartbreak to everyone who saw them, Kyouhei Kannozuki disappeared involuntarily into the dark passage, leaving behind only the gentle wails that echoed through the air.

Everyone in Fraxinus was already accustomed to this scene. They just glanced at the direction where Shen Wuyue Gongping disappeared and ignored him, but continued to do their own work.

If you don't seek death, you won't die. May the deputy commander who is about to go to heaven have a good journey and rest in peace.

Chapter 147: Unexpected Chaos and Despair

In the distant east, the morning light gradually rises, symbolizing the arrival of a new day. It also means that all living beings must wake up from their beautiful dreams and start their colorful lives and daily lives again.

And high above Tiangong City, inside the invisible aerial ship <Fraxinus> that overlooked the entire Tiangong City, the thin girl who had been tormented by nightmares all night was finally freed from her fear and faced another nightmare————

"Who read the narration? Throw him into a concentration camp!"

In the medical room of Fraxinus, Kotori waved her hand and drove Kannazuki Kyohei out, leaving only Reine, Shiori, and Tohka sleeping soundly on Shiori's legs.

Of course, there is also the protagonist who opened this medical room, the green-haired little girl lying on the hospital bed and slowly opening her emerald eyes.

"Where is this...?"

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her, Kagamino Nanashi murmured softly in confusion.

She habitually raised her hand in front of her eyes, and the thin arm was reflected in her emerald eyes. In an instant, the memory of last night quietly flooded into her mind like a tide, and in an instant, Qi Zui came back to her senses and suddenly jumped up from the bed.

""

Before she could see the surrounding scenery clearly, Nanashi raised her hand and a broom-shaped angel appeared in her hand. Then, accompanied by a dazzling white light, the original thin girl's posture was replaced by a mature and sexy posture.

"----you!"

It was only at this moment that Nanashi saw clearly Shiori, Kotori and others sitting beside the bed. In an instant, her face became extremely terrifying.

"Did you see it?"

Looking at Nanashi who seemed to have her reverse scale touched, Kotori, Shiori and the other three couldn't help but look at each other.

Did you mean her true face?

It is true that I saw it, but looking at Nana Sin's situation, it seems that I can't just tell the truth at this time.

"Hey, why did you attack me yesterday?"

However, Tohka, who had just woken up, didn't care about all this. She pointed at Nanashi and questioned loudly.

"Huh? I attacked you?"

Noticing Tohka's presence and hearing her questioning, Nanashi immediately became unhappy.

"You were the one who attacked me first yesterday, I just fought back first!"

She was very sure that her ugly posture had been seen by these people, and they had been watching for quite some time.

And the reason for all this is because of this elf!

Yesterday she had just happened to see a young couple having a tryst, so she was hiding nearby and observing them out of curiosity. Who knew that this guy would suddenly rush over as if he had robbed her of something important.

In this case, she of course chose to take action first. Otherwise, would she have to wait until she was beaten before fighting back?

"Who wants to attack you? It was you who suddenly jumped out and blocked my way!"

With their foreheads pressed hard together, Tohka and Nanashi glared at each other, neither of them giving in. Then they both took a step back at the same time. One of them raised the fake witch in her hand, and the other summoned Aoshagong. The atmosphere of tension filled the medical room, as if if there was any abnormality at this moment, the two would go into battle in the next second.

【Jiaye, what should we do? 】

Sitting in her original position without moving, Shizhi seemed to be watching the scene calmly, but in fact, she was not too panicked in her heart.

Because she was confident that even if the two of them really started fighting, Jia Ye would have a way to stop them.

This is her absolute trust in Jia Ye.

[They were all knocked unconscious and tied up...]

A faint voice filled with fatigue and sleepiness sounded in his consciousness, which made Shizhi stunned for a moment.

【Jiaye, what's wrong with you? 】

[Nothing, just feeling a little tired and sleepy.]

The figure appeared beside Shiori, and the fatigue on Jiaye's face was almost unconcealed. This was the first time Shiori saw Jiaye like this.

The simplest and most intuitive manifestation is that his figure at this moment looks more illusory and dim than usual.

[Maybe it's because I used Tohka's angel and flame abilities at the same time last night, which consumed too much spiritual energy.]

The use of angels does not come without cost.

Just like magic requires mana, the authority of the Herrscher requires Honkai energy, and electrical appliances require electricity, the energy needed by elves to use angels is spiritual power. Although Shiori is not an elf, she also has this power in her body due to the existence of the fire ability that Jiaye speculates is from a certain elf that Shiori had sealed in the past. However, for some reason, the amount is not much.

Although it will recover, the recovery efficiency is not very high, so this is why Jiaye usually only uses the ability to create and manipulate fire to fight, and does not summon angels.

However, last night she used her fire ability in addition to using an angel. Although Tohka was the owner of Aosakou, part of the spiritual power was supplied by Tohka, but the spiritual power consumed when launching the attack came from Shiori.

Originally it was just intended to be an experiment, and because the enemy was an elf, in order to avoid failure, he used the Aoshagong, but in the end it ended up hurting Jiaye himself - because he helped Shizhi bear the impact of excessive consumption of spiritual power, so Shizhi didn't have any problems, but he became weaker because of it.

However, he did not intend to tell this matter, because that would only increase Shiori's worries.

【Don't worry, you'll probably recover soon. 】

Facing Shizhi's worried gaze, Jiaye rubbed her head and comforted her softly.

【But......】

Shiori really wanted to say that while Kaye was saying this, his body was becoming more and more unreal, which made it completely unsettling.

[So I might not be able to manifest for a while, but communication and possession are still possible, don't worry.]

Also noticing his own condition, Jiaye added something to comfort him.

【Let me help you deal with the problem at hand. 】

After taking control of the body, Shiye, whose temperament changed again, opened a pair of eyes that looked a little tired, then stood up and walked in front of Tohka, blocking Nanashi's gaze for her.

"I advise you to put away the angel if you don't want to try the feeling of last night again."

“This voice—”

Nanashi, who was stunned for a moment by Shiori's behavior, listened to her words and suddenly the scene of last night emerged in her mind, as well as the extremely terrifying and frightening feeling when the big sword wrapped in flames was pressed against her neck.

"Are you the guy wearing the mask?!"

Perhaps it was because the fear that Shiye brought to her last night was too great. Under the dazed gaze of Tohka, Kotori and others, and the speechless gaze of Shiye, the light on Nanashi's body suddenly shattered, and the posture of the little girl from before appeared in everyone's eyes again. She was sitting powerlessly on the bed, looking at Shiye with fear in her eyes, making her look so pitiful and lovable.

Shi Ye couldn't help feeling a little depressed about this.

Did she do anything yesterday to scare Seven Deadly Sins like this?

[Putting a sword against someone's neck and knocking them unconscious, what do you think?]

Sensing Shiye's inner thoughts, Shizhi, who was floating beside him, couldn't help but complain.

[This shouldn't be something that's worth being so scared of, right?]

It seems that the difficulty of the strategy has increased.

Shi Ye thought helplessly.

"Well...."

At this moment, Shi Ye suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. The sudden feeling caught her off guard and she subconsciously covered her head, letting out a low groan.

【Gaya?! 】

"Sister (Shiori/Koori), what's wrong with you?"

Such an obvious abnormality naturally could not fail to attract the attention of others. Not only Shiori who knew about Kaya's situation, but even Kotori, Tohka and Reine who were unaware of it all hurried to Shiya's side and looked at her with concern.

Seeing this, Qi Zui, who was slumped on the bed, came to her senses. Then she didn't care about the current situation and immediately wanted to leave this place and stay away from Shi Ye, the dangerous man.

"Woo——"

However, her weak body prevented her from even standing up, so out of helplessness and fear, she chose to respond to the call of the neighbors and disappeared on the hospital bed.

"Just wait for me. Next time, I will definitely take revenge!"

However, no one cared about Nana Sin at this time, because all their attention was focused on Shi Ye.

Two strands of bright red slowly flowed down from Shiye's nose, and at the same time, the pain in his head became more and more intense. Not only Shiye, but even Shizhi who was floating next to him gradually began to feel the pain that Shiye was experiencing at the moment.

【Ahh!】

Although Shiye could not bear this level of pain, Shizhi was different. Her will was far from being as strong as Shiye's, who had undergone various training since childhood. So although she cared more about Shiye's condition, the severe pain made it impossible for her to concentrate.

[Gaya, leave your body! ]

Just when Shi Ye didn't know what to do, Ge Jiuye's long-lost voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, following the trust deep in his soul, Shiye directly gave up control of Shizhi's body and pushed Shizhi's consciousness into the flesh.

In the eyes of other people outside, Shiori's temperament changed after a moment of distraction and trance, and the pain on his face intensified for a moment before slowly subsiding.

【————Gaya? 】

In Shiori's opinion, she just suddenly felt the unique sense of security when she was in control of her body in the midst of severe pain, and then the pain suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed.

However, she did not feel happy about this, because she found that the originally close connection between her and Jiaye suddenly became weak. Although she could still sense Jiaye's presence, the feeling of being there and not there, close yet distant made her feel extremely uneasy and anxious.

[Gaya! Gaya! Gaya, are you there? Answer me, Gaya! !]

A feeling of loneliness and helplessness quietly filled Shizhi's heart. The memory of being abandoned by her biological mother when she was young flooded into her mind, and the fear like a tide almost swallowed her consciousness.

Ever since she met—or rather, "created" Jia Ye, she had never thought that there would be a day when she would experience the feeling of being abandoned again.

After Jia Ye appeared, he was everything to her. She originally thought that he would never leave her and she could always live under his wings.

But is reality going to deprive her of even this little bit of hope?

Chapter 148 Alas!

"Although your confession-like thoughts make me, as my second personality, happy, please don't assume that I'm dead."

It was like a straw that a person trapped in a swamp grabbed in panic, or like a warm hand that suddenly reached out from the boundless darkness. Just as Shiori's heart gradually fell into dark despair, a weak voice rang out from her consciousness and dragged her back into the light.

【Ga...night...? 】

【it's me. 】

Although his figure did not appear, Shiori felt that the connection between him and Kaya had become close again, and even stronger than before.

[Sorry, the backlash from excessive spiritual power loss accidentally affected you because of my possession.]

Jiaye said apologetically.

[So for a short period of time, I can't manifest or possess people, but communication is still fine.]

【But didn’t you say it wasn’t a big deal? 】

Although I am sorry to have caused Kotori and the other two to worry, in order to be able to communicate more attentively with Kaya, Shiori in reality is currently in a state of 'coma' and is being examined by Reine on the spot using the equipment in the medical room.

It’s really not a big deal.

Jiaye said innocently.

[You're in so much pain, and you say it's not a big deal?!]

Upon hearing this, even someone as gentle as Shizhi almost went berserk with anger.
