A journey into an infinite dimension

After gently scratching Qianyu's little nose, Shiye placed another plate in front of it, and then watched it eat elegantly, and couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps it was because Shiye's unchanged attitude infected Qinli, she quickly got rid of that tangled and weird feeling, and her attitude towards Shiye unconsciously became no different from the past when she didn't know about this matter.

After all, habits are not so easy to change.

"Speaking of which, where's Sister Shiori? Didn't she say that she's the one who's responsible for you guys' daily lives?"

Kotori asked curiously as she gently sat down at the dining table.

“Sometimes she wants to sleep in, so I’ll take over her daily activities.”

Putting a cup of hot milk in front of Kotori, Shiye replied while continuing to work in the kitchen.

"By the way, Tohka and Yoshino should also come to our house for their meals, right?"

"Well, after all, sister, your cooking skills are great, and you've already spoiled their appetites."

Gently rolling up a piece of bacon and putting it into her mouth, feeling the wonderful taste exploding on the tip of her tongue, Kotori couldn't help but squint her eyes in enjoyment.

It's great to have three delicious meals a day and have two sisters who can cook.

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Shiye accepted Kotori's praise without any modesty.

Since what is being praised is one's true ability, there is no need to be humble.

Because it doesn’t matter whether you are praised or not. Even if you are praised, it is a natural thing. In this case, why do you need to be humble?

"By the way, Kotori, can I borrow the system and equipment permissions of the Fraxinus from you after school?"

Suddenly remembering something, Shiye calmly turned around and asked Kotori.

"Of course, of course. The Fraxinus is my dedicated ship. As long as it doesn't violate the rules, I'm free to use it however I want."

Hearing this, she paused in her eating, then took out two black hairbands from her pocket and tied them on her twin ponytails, replacing the white hairbands. At the same time, her voice and expression became more confident and strong.

"But sister, what are you going to do?"

"Help a child complete the task."

Listening to Tohka's cheerful voice early in the morning, Shiye closed one eye, raised his index finger lightly in front of his lips, and smiled playfully.

"Well!"

However, Shiye didn't know that it was just an impulsive action on her part, but it instantly made Qin Li's heart skip a beat. She happened to pause while swallowing and then choked.

"woo woo woo woo!!!"

"Don't be too anxious to eat. Drink some milk."

"Shiori, Kotori, we're here!"

"Sister Shiori, Sister Kotori, sorry to bother you."

"Oh, they're already showing off their sisterly affection this morning. 'The older sister is forcing her semen into her younger sister's mouth'... Yeah, this is such a forbidden feeling~"

"Ah! Shiori—no, Kayaya? Kayaya, what are you doing to Kotori, Kayaya?!"

"Gaya....Brother?"

"Puha, it's not something weird!"

"Call her however you're used to. Also, Kotori just choked."

"Ow?"

Qianyu, who was enjoying the delicious food, raised her head to look at the lively surroundings, and then continued to eat her breakfast.

It was probably also lamenting the bustle of the Gokawa family's morning.

......

......

[Jiaye, where are we going next? ]

After school, Shizhi asked in confusion as he saw Shiye not heading home.

[I'm going to Fraxinus. I have some things I want to deal with. I'll find them if I look through my memory.]

Said Shiye, who had already shared his memories with Shiori.

【Artificial Spirit...Artificial Spirit? ! !】

Shizhi came across an unfamiliar noun from the memory shared by Shiye. At first, he was unable to recognize the meaning of the word until Shiye shared the result of his interpretation with Shizhi.

[Well, yesterday I accidentally discovered something in the facility where DEM imprisoned Nia Honjo. It seems to be a 'data lifeform spirit' that DEM created to study Nia Honjo, using her as a reference.]

Walking to a secluded corner where no one could see him, Shiye gently gestured to the sky above his head and explained to Shizhi in his heart.

However, the research progress has only reached the basic level. Spiritual equipment, angels, personalities, intelligence, and even sound sources are all still missing. Basically, it can be said that there is only a model and the basics, a blank container.

[So, Jiaye, what you have to do is to help that child gain her own personality and intelligence?]

[Or perhaps 'creation' would be more appropriate. In a sense, that child can be considered our daughter.]

Shiye meant that the artificial elf 'Arusu' had its personality written by her, and in a sense could be considered her daughter, and she and Shiori were the same person, so her daughter could also be said to be Shiori's daughter.

However, Shiori seemed to have misunderstood something.

[Daughter————]

A turquoise light quietly enveloped Shi Ye's body, and at the same time, her figure gradually turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the spot.

......

......

“—That’s it.”

On the Fraxinus, under the stunned gazes of the Fraxinus crew and Kotori, Shiye gently typed the last line of code, breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down in his seat and stretched his fingers, which seemed a little sore from moving them too quickly and frequently, and looked at the screen in front of him with satisfaction.

On the screen, although the entire screen was filled, the whole could not be seen. Only a part of the screen could be understood that it was the center of the trunk of a giant tree. The artificial elf girl 'Arusu' seen in the morning had become completely different from her in the morning.

The difference is not in appearance, but in temperament and clothing.

At this moment, 'Arusu' was no longer naked. Her dress was mainly black with white collar and sleeves. The style seemed to be inspired by a nun's uniform with a golden inverted cross emblem on the front. Her skirt was of uneven length with square edges that looked like a program bug, making her look holy and elegant. Her pair of deep golden eyes were filled with spiritual radiance, and her delicate and beautiful face was no longer as dead and indifferent as a machine. Her every frown and smile was as lively as a real human being.

The next moment, she seemed to be able to see Shi Ye outside the screen. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted in the direction of Shi Ye, then opened her hands slightly, and her figure was quietly shrouded in a black and gold light.

Ding---

The change did not last long. After a moment, the light dissipated and 'Arusu's' original clothes were gone. In their place were clothes that looked like the spiritual attire of an elf.

Her entire body was wrapped in materialized black codes, with a pair of wings woven from the codes spread out behind her. At the same time, black light balls emitting a tyrannical aura and with arcs of electricity dancing on their surfaces quietly gathered around her, like satellites guarding a planet, or like the many planets orbiting the sun.

A head of long black hair split into dark golden colors and swayed gently behind him in the breeze. 'Arusu' slowly opened his flaming eyes, then raised his hand and gently waved at the giant tree in front of him.

Ang ang ang ang——————

A long roar like that of some creature resounded. From the top of the giant tree, a huge black shadow suddenly and swiftly rushed down. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of 'Arusu'. At the moment when it was about to touch her, it suddenly flapped the six wings behind it, and suddenly stopped its body as if it had ignored the powerful kinetic energy. Then, it gently stretched out its huge and slender body to surround 'Arusu' in the center, and let out a majestic roar towards the sky.

"Ho ho ho ho ho!!!!"

The aura of tyranny and intimidation seemed to be able to be transmitted through the screen. Except for Shi Ye, everyone else who was watching this scene around the computer subconsciously took a step back, looking at the pitch-black six-winged dragon on the screen and the girl being guarded by the dragon with some fear.

"<Data Spiritual Suit: Nidhoggur>, a biological angel."

Looking at this scene, a hint of relief quietly appeared on Shi Ye's lips.

As expected, she spent a whole day creating the angel and spiritual outfit based on her own CR-UNIT-. Judging from the power, her efforts and time were not in vain.

Moreover, the existence of 'Arusu' is not limited to the virtual world of data. As long as enough spiritual power is provided, she can materialize in the real world. If the spiritual power provided has the function of self-recovery, then she can exist permanently in the real world. This ability did not originally exist in 'Arusu', but came from a certain item that Shiye specially exchanged from the system.

Because she is a perfectionist, once she decides to do something, she will naturally do it to the best of her ability.

As for the source of spiritual power for materialization, it was of course provided by her. After all, she had the spiritual power of two complete elves sealed in her body, as well as the spiritual power of an elf whose spiritual power was a little less due to unknown factors. These were completely sufficient to supply 'Arusu' for materialization.

Even Shiye has begun to set his sights on the core of the elves - the "Spirit Crystal".

Chapter 169: I have an island in the Atlantic Ocean

"Father, it's dawn, please get up."

In the dim room, through the gently swaying curtains, one can see a faint but bright light faintly shining from outside the window into the room, bringing a hint of dim light to the dark room.

On the bed beside the room, the girl and the white fox were sleeping soundly in each other's arms, their foreheads touching each other, with similar sweet smiles on their faces, as if they were having a good dream. The warm scene made people reluctant to disturb them.

However, due to reality and other factors, no matter how reluctant they were, the sweet voice still rang out from the mobile phone placed on the bedside table as scheduled, ruthlessly shattering two beautiful dreams.

"Well?"

"Ow?"

Two confused mumblings came out softly from the two people's mouths. With sleepy eyes, the man and the fox slowly sat up from the bed almost synchronously, staring blankly at the wall in front of them.

"So it's Mother, right? Just like what I said, there's no way Father would sleep in."

A light and pleasant voice once again came from the smartphone on the bedside, completely awakening the consciousness of the man and the fox who had just returned from their dream.

"...Good morning, Junai, Chiyu."

Shizhi covered his mouth and yawned softly, then whispered hello to Chiba beside him and the voice on the phone.

"Ow~"

"Good morning, mother."

Chiba and the girl's voice named 'Marina' also responded to Shiori's greeting at the same time.

"Mother, please get up and wash up. Tohka-san and Yoshino-san will be here in fifteen minutes. Although breakfast is scheduled outside, we still have to consider the waiting time for the bus, so there's not much time left for you to sleep in."

Today is the weekend and there are no classes at school. It is also the day when Shiori, Tohka and others set out to go to the beach.

Although there are bound to be a lot of people at the beach on weekends, Shiori, Tohka, and Kotori are all students, so the only time they can go out and play is on weekends.

After all, they couldn't skip school and go out to play. Shiori wouldn't agree, and neither would Kotori.

It was just that 'the crowded beach on weekends' was the original plan, and when someone intervened, a new plan emerged.

"It's okay. I bought a private island in the Atlantic Ocean a while ago. Let's borrow the Fraxinus from Kotori and go there today."

In the blink of an eye, Shiori's aura changed dramatically, and he spoke softly.

"Good morning, Father."

Realizing this, Junai's voice also became noticeably cheerful.

"Good morning, Junai, do you want to come out for some fresh air?"

He gently picked up Qianyu who wanted to climb on him, then stood up and took off his pajamas. While picking up the casual clothes placed on the bedside, Shiye asked Junai.

Marina, or rather "Arusu Marina (あるすまりな/Arusu Marina)", is an artificial spirit that Shiya developed a few days ago using the basic data he had obtained from the DEM Society's research facility used for studying Nia.

At that time, with the help of the equipment and system of "Fraxinus", after spending a whole day compiling the data of Junai's spirit equipment, angel, personality, intelligence, etc., Shiye, who had difficulty in naming, entrusted the responsibility of naming to Shiori.

So, Junai, who was originally named 'Arusu', got the name she has today.

As for how Junai addressed her and Shizhi, Shiye could only say that this was an unexpected event that she had not anticipated.

Originally, the personality she wrote for Junai should have been a girl's personality that matched Junai's appearance age. However, perhaps because she had just been reborn, and because Shiye had set herself as the highest authority in the operating program of 'Arusu', when she came into contact with Shiye and realized that it was she who gave her life, she directly called Shiye 'Father' in front of everyone, and to Shiori she called her 'Mother'.

Because of this, Shizhi was so shy that he stayed in his conscious world for several days and didn't want to come out. All daily activities were taken care of by Shiye.

As for how she knew that he and Shizhi were not the same personality, Shiye didn't know either.

"Yes, Father, please do!"

The voice became louder and louder, and it was obvious that Junai preferred this world to the data world.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I can't let you stay in the real world forever."

After changing clothes, Shi Ye stopped trying to stop her and let Qianyu jump onto him, then sit on his shoulders with familiarity.

He touched Qianyu's little head, then walked to the bed and picked up the mobile phone. Shi Ye looked at the black-haired girl displayed on the screen and said apologetically.

Although the spiritual power is enough for Junai to materialize, it cannot support her permanent existence in reality. Although the spiritual power in Shiye's body is huge enough, because these spiritual powers do not belong to her, the recovery speed is far slower than that of the real masters of spiritual power such as Tohka and Yoshino. In addition, she sometimes needs to use it, and the spiritual power that supports Junai's materialization is consumed every moment. It will be consumed more quickly when the spiritual equipment and angels appear. Therefore, it is no problem to support it for one or two days, but it will not work permanently.

However, this problem will be alleviated sooner or later as the number of spirits sealed by Shiori increases. Although if you want to completely allow Junai to exist as a living being in reality, the solution still requires spirit crystals.

"It's alright, Father. As long as I can stay by your side, I'll be content."

With a quiet and subtle arc at the corner of his mouth, Junai shook his head and spoke softly.

As the enormous spiritual power surged around Shi Ye, a human-shaped figure that seemed to be made up of countless 0s and 1s quietly gathered around Shi Ye and gradually solidified into a solid entity.
