A journey into an infinite dimension

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wuyue silently stopped his hand from pressing ① and made another choice.

The 'interesting' games in the concentration camp are not interesting at all.

[Final selection result: Option ②——50%, Option ③——50%]

Seeing the results on the screen, everyone was stunned.

This situation is really rare.

"Those who chose option ②, what are your reasons?"

After coming back to her senses, Kotori asked Inuimoto and the others below.

"Because this is an opportunity to find out what happened before Kaguya-san moved in by talking about the house."

Pushing up his glasses, Mikimoto said.

"Assuming that Miss Kaguya is really Miss Kaguya, then she may have fabricated a reasonable past, but there must be some shadows that Miss Shiori is familiar with."

They all knew the reason why Shiori suddenly changed his date, and they were very happy to help Shiori.

Rather, it could be said that in this situation, the level of seriousness they showed was even greater than when they conquered other elves before.

Because in their eyes, Shiori is like a daughter (sister). How could they not take it seriously if they help their daughter (sister) find her lover?

As for Kannazuki, he simply thought that this would help Shiori, so that was just a distortion of values ​​caused by his perversion.

"After all, Miss Shiori said that Miss Kaye had been unable to use her spiritual power to materialize until recently, so her past life must have been spent with Miss Shiori. Therefore, when making up the story, some past experiences must have been used as a reference."

Nakatsugawa added.

"I see. Then, what about option ③?"

Kotori nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"I'll take this opportunity to complete my original goal and invite Miss Kaguya out on a date."

Kawagoe said.

"From the interactions so far, it's clear that Kaguya-san doesn't have any obvious ill feelings towards Shiori-san. So, her refusal of the date invitation just now might have been due to her dissatisfaction with Shiori's decision to postpone an appointment with someone else for her."

Shiizaki continued.

"So now that we've had some time to relax, perhaps Miss Kaguya will agree."

Kanwuyue finally made a summary.

"Both options have their own themes and advantages... Junai, why did you choose option ②?"

After thinking for a while, Kotori suddenly asked Junai on the display screen.

[Because if Kaguya is really her father, then in order to avoid being discovered, she will definitely avoid long-term contact with her mother, so option ③ is not the best choice.]

Currently, he is actively assisting Shiori, Kotori, and the others along with the artificial AI of Fraxinus, and he spoke softly to Junai, who had also cast a vote just now.

【Because the one who knows Father best is Mother.】

Even Junai had to admit this.

After years of being inseparable, they have forged a tacit understanding where they can understand each other's thoughts with just a casual gesture.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Kaguya avoids prolonged contact with Shiori.

"I see. Then, sister, please choose option ②."

Nodding in realization, Kotori spoke to Shiori through the communication.

"Um, Kaguya, your house was just built not long ago, right? Can I take a look around your house?"

After receiving the order, Shizhi pretended to have just finished thinking and asked.

“It’s just an ordinary house except that it’s a little bigger.”

It was probably clear that it was Kotori and the others who gave Shiori the idea, but Kaguya did not refuse.

"But if you want to see it, then come on."

Chapter 188: It’s the season for chapter titles to disappear again

"...Kaguya, your house is so big, do you live alone?"

Sitting on the sofa somewhat tiredly, Shiori couldn't help but ask Kaguya who was sitting opposite him.

This was already the feeling when looking at it from the outside, but after actually visiting it, Shiori discovered that Kaguya's house was really huge, completely a luxury house, even bigger than an ordinary luxury house.

————In fact, Kaguya’s house is the size of an ordinary mansion. After all, it is just a temporary residence and she doesn’t live in it often, so there is no need to buy a too big one.

The reason why Shiori felt this way was simply because the interior of the house was very empty.

Because Kaguya was the only owner of the house, all the furniture she bought was for one person, whether it was for the room, the kitchen, or the living room.

However, this house not only has a living room, a kitchen, and a room, and it has not been specially decorated, and has the deserted atmosphere unique to large houses, which makes Shizhi feel that the house is very large.

To put it simply, there is absolutely no sign of life in the house. If it weren't for the furniture, people would even believe that it was a house for sale.

In fact, after this trip, not only Shiori, but everyone on Fraxinus couldn't help but have this feeling.

What kind of life does this girl usually lead?

"Yes."

Nodding, Kaguya then picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.

"I don't know how long you plan to stay, but the only entertainment at my house is TV and games. You can decide which one you want."

"By the way, Kaguya, can you tell me about what happened before you moved to Tengu City?"

Without watching TV, Shiori asked Kaguya tentatively.

"Of course, in exchange, I'll tell you about my past. This will help you evaluate and judge my qualifications, right?"

The second test, for the sake of the character you have created, Kaguya—no, Kaguya, what will you do?

"It's not a wise choice to pry into someone's past when you're not familiar with each other."

Glancing at Shiori who was pretending to be calm, Kaguya said lightly.

However, although there was nothing unusual on the surface, Kaguya had already begun to feel a slight suspicion in her heart.

I always feel like Shiori is always testing me. Has she discovered something?

[I think she's just collecting information on her capture target.]

In the conscious world, he covered the smile on the corner of his mouth with the tablet in his hand. Although the joy in his heart could not be suppressed, there was still no flaw in Ge Jiuye's voice.

Hahaha, it’s really interesting to see two people who are familiar with each other, one pretending not to know the other, and the other trying to confirm the other’s identity.

【Yeah. 】

Although Kaguya always felt that Kaguya's voice sounded a little sinister, she believed her because she didn't hear anything else unusual.

"Ahahaha, that's true. I'm sorry for being rude."

Hearing her say this, Shizhi couldn't help but laugh dryly, then changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah, this TV is really high definition, it must be a high-end product."

No, Kaguya is totally difficult to deal with.

He couldn't help but let out a cry of grief in his heart. This was the first time he had to conquer an elf without Jiaye's help, and the elf was suspected to be Jiaye's disguise. Shizhi felt that he was completely unable to cope with it.

"....Forget it, do you want to stay for lunch?"

After staring at Shiori for a long time, until she was sweating profusely, Kaguya stopped dwelling on the topic and asked instead.

"I----"

"Sister, promise her that you won't have to worry about your sense of shame at this time."

What Shiori wanted to say was interrupted by Kotori again. Helplessly, she had to suppress her embarrassment and nodded.

"If you don't bother me, I'll trouble you."

No, my image in Kaguya's mind has probably become synonymous with shamelessness.

So embarrassing, I want to die...

"Well, I'm going to buy ingredients for lunch. Do you want to come with me?"

Nodding, Kaguya didn't care about these little things, but just asked Shiori.

"Let me help too."

Upon hearing this, Shiori agreed immediately without any instructions from Kotori.

Although it's not a date, going out shopping together should help me understand Kaguya a little better.

After all, whether she is Jia Ye or not, she is the one he needs to conquer.

......

......

"Ike, our people have found the person we rescued in Tiangong City, Japan. According to our investigation, she seems to have settled in a villa in the suburbs of Tiangong City."

In a certain director's office at the DEM headquarters in London, England, a silver-haired girl dressed in office clothes and appearing to be only about eighteen years old stood in front of the desk and reported softly to the person sitting in the office chair with his back to her.

"But we can't find out the identity of the owner of the villa. Although the records show that it was purchased several years ago, there is no information."

Originally, with the capabilities and means of DEM, investigating the identity of a villa owner was a piece of cake. However, now they have hit a wall in this regard, which makes people think about it.

After all, there is only one force in the world that can fight against DEM.

"Perhaps, it wasn't his Ratatoskr."

As if he had guessed what the girl was thinking, the office chair slowly turned around, and the handsome gray-haired man with rusty eyes smiled faintly.

"Remember what happened in the North Atlantic not long ago? The island closest to that area was bought after Yig Zolnai Louisis was assassinated. It seems the buyer's identity is also unknown."

Hearing the man, Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, say this, the girl also remembered the shocking image and report she had seen not long ago.

But the matter of the island was only mentioned in passing in the report. Why would Ike start his conversation with that incident now?

unless----

"Ike, do you think that one of the people who caused that scene, the person who bought the island, is the same person who took it in, or even rescued it?"

Elaine Mila Mathers asked Westcott with a look that gradually became serious.

If this is true, then Ike's chances will be difficult to realize.

"It's just my intuition."

Shrugging his shoulders, Westcott smiled without looking nervous at all.

"But a pure-blooded magus's intuition probably can't be compared to ordinary intuition."

A magician, generally speaking, refers to someone who has the ability and talent to use the CR-UNIT. However, in the eyes of a few people in the world today, these magicians who use the CR-UNIT are actually just "artificial magicians."

Just as there are 'artificial' things, there are naturally 'natural' things. However, few people know about the existence of natural magi, or 'pure-blooded magi'. Because without the use of miracles called 'magic', pure-blooded magi are no different from ordinary humans.

However, "I will not reveal mysteries to the world without explanation" is the absolute rule that magi impose on themselves. Therefore, these beings with powers beyond common sense can live undisturbed in this world - until one day decades ago.

There are only a handful of pure-blooded magicians left in the world today, as the pure-blooded magician race has been nearly wiped out by the cruel hands of humans.

The two present were two of the surviving pure-blooded magicians.

He is also the executive director and true founder of DEM, as well as the former's secretary and director of DEM's second executive department, and the world's strongest magician.

"So, Ike, what are you going to do with your plan?"

Ailian asked, calming her mind slightly.

"If the situation is really as you say, then we are no match for the power comparable to that of the Origin Spirit."

Even Ailian, who is very confident in her own abilities, has to admit this.

Because no matter how hard she tried, she could not create a hole on the sea surface that would not recover for a long time, nor could she cause the global sea level to drop by dozens of meters.

Even an elf with monstrous power couldn't do that easily, even though the residual energy at the scene was the result of an energy collision.

“So we need to change our plans.”

Westcott smiled as he reached out and lightly tapped the desk surface.

As he finished speaking, a virtual display screen quietly unfolded in front of Ailian, allowing her to clearly see the image displayed on it.
