A journey into an infinite dimension

"Well, I'll go check out first. Kaguya-san, do you want to buy this dress?"

"...Just consider it a souvenir."

After thinking about it, Kaguya didn't refuse.

Anyway, this kind of clothes is quite suitable for daily wear, and this way you don’t have to wear women’s clothes every day.

Although in a sense she has gotten used to it, Kaguya feels that it is precisely because she has gotten used to it that she must correct it!

"If you don't mind, I'll pay the bill as compensation for interrupting your date."

Looking at the clothes that Kurumi handed to the clerk beside her, Kaguya said softly.

Then she turned to look at Shiori, who had nothing in his hands.

"Shiori, you didn't buy any clothes?"

"I already have a lot of clothes at home."

Shaking his head, Shiori smiled lightly and said.

She really didn't need to buy new clothes; the few pieces she had were enough for her.

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Kaguya did not force it, but walked to the counter and handed a bank card to the clerk, ready to pay the bill.

"Well, Kaguya-san, I can just pay for my own."

Standing beside her, Kuang San smiled as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Really? Then I'll treat you to lunch later."

Seeing that Kurumi was indeed somewhat reluctant, Kaguya did not force her.

There is no need to insist if the other party is unwilling. After all, you are not a very close friend.

Although it is said that Kurumi may be one of Shiori's partners in the future.

"Hehe, Kaguya-san and Shiori-san are really alike."

As if she remembered something interesting, Kuang San couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile softly.

"Shiori-san was planning to treat me to a meal as compensation just now."

In response, Shizhi just smiled awkwardly.

After all, they are the same person. It would be abnormal if they didn't look alike.

"Shiori said it first, so I'll make up for it somewhere else."

Kaguya said, nodding.

"Actually, Kaguya-san doesn't need to worry about compensation. After all, we just met by chance. To be honest, it was Shiori-san and I who disturbed Kaguya-san."

After paying the bill, Kurumi took the packaged clothes and smiled at Kaguya.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little token of my appreciation."

After completing the payment, Kaguya took back her card and walked back to the locker room to change into her clothes.

"Kyousan, is this really okay? This is our date, isn't it?"

Looking at the locker room door that had closed again, Shiori asked Kurumi with some concern.

Although Shiori was very happy to be able to date Kaguya, she also needed to take Kurumi's feelings into consideration.

After all, the date that was supposed to be yesterday has been postponed to today, and it was clearly a date between two people, but there was a third person involved. A normal girl would probably not accept this at all.

Although it was Kurumi who invited Kaguya, and both she and Kurumi were girls, their date might be a little different from a normal date between a man and a woman. Rather than a date, it was more like a group of friends going shopping together.

"It's okay, because I don't hate Kaguya-san."

With a faint smile, Kuang San teased in a playful manner.

"Besides, Shiori-san also wants to capture Kaguya-san, right? So you must seize the opportunity and try to seal both me and Kaguya-san."

"Cough cough cough!!"

Hearing such straightforward words, Shizhi, who was choked by his own saliva, started coughing and felt a little embarrassed and helpless.

Is there something wrong with the fact that conquering an object creates an opportunity for me to conquer another object?

No, Kaguya is not a real elf. And considering the relationship between him and her, even if she is really an elf, she can definitely complete the seal with just a kiss.

Then again, with Kaguya's abilities, she might actually be able to transform herself into a spirit? After all, spirit suits and angels had appeared before.

So, do I really need to seal her?

————I’ll ask later... no, let’s confirm... after all, I still have to rely on asking... why not just confirm it directly?

Kaguya is not Kaguya, Kaguya is an elf... Kaguya is not Kaguya, Kaguya is an elf... an elf that needs to be sealed...

So after Kaguya changed her clothes and walked out of the locker room, she felt that there was something wrong with Shiori's look.

......

......

In the afternoon, in the cat-themed cafe "Naka ​​no Gensokyo".

"Meow~"

"Meow~~"

"Meow~"

Black cats, white cats, orange cats, Persian cats, Ragdoll cats, Siamese cats, all kinds of cute cats are almost everywhere in the cafe, from the ground to the shelves, and then to the guests' tables. The sweet and soft calls are endless, and people feel as if their hearts are melting just by pushing open the door and walking in.

Here, guests can experience the happiness of being overwhelmed by all kinds of furry creatures, and feel the sense of accomplishment when the furry creatures actively come to them. At the same time, they can enjoy afternoon tea while petting the furry creatures.

At the same time, "Cat Gensokyo" is not like other service industries that put customers first. On the contrary, here, customers and cats are equal.

If someone dares to treat the cats in the store rudely, or if a cat is tired and doesn't want to play with people, then if they dare to continue to disturb it, the result will be to be kicked out without further discussion.

Thanks to this, although the reputation of this cafe is mixed, for those who truly love cats, it is definitely a well-deserved holy place.

At this moment, at a window seat in "Cat Gensokyo", a cat lover with a happy face was playing with a cat.

"Nya Nya~"

Gently shaking the cat toy in her hand, a short-haired cat was lying on her legs, and a lion cat was on her head, making cute meows. Kuang San looked at the short-legged cat in front of her that wanted to grab the moving toy but couldn't because of its short legs. A warm and happy smile that ordinary people had never seen quietly appeared on her charming and beautiful face.

It can be seen that Kuang San likes cats very much, so she looks so different from her usual self at this moment.

"Maybe, as long as you turn into a cat, you can directly complete the strategy of conquering Kurumi."

Sitting opposite Kurumi, Kaguya picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. Ignoring the burden on her body, she softly expressed her thoughts.

"At least there's a guarantee of goodwill."

It's rare to find someone who loves cats to this extent.

"...Although I felt something was wrong, I couldn't refute it."

Looking at Kurumi, Shiori seemed a little conflicted.

Judging from the current situation, although Kurumi's favorability towards him has increased, it is still far from reaching the level that can be sealed, so it is possible that he will really need to use this method in the end.

Although this kind of thing can be done by borrowing the power of the Seven Angels of Sin, Shiori always feels that this will bring great danger to his moral integrity.

"By the way, Jiaye..."

"Ok?"

Confused as to why Yu Shizhi seemed hesitant to speak, Kaguya turned to look at her in confusion.

In an instant, countless eyes fell on Shiori. The aura generated even made Shiori, who had witnessed the strongest power in the world, shrink his head.

"Don't you feel heavy?"

Looking at Kaguya, who had a cat lying on each shoulder, a cat on her head, two cats hanging on her hands, several cats resting on her legs, and a few more squeezed on the side, it can be said that her body was basically covered with cats, and every cat was staring at her. Shiori's mouth twitched slightly.

It turns out that Jiaye is so popular with small animals?

"Used to it."

Kaguya calmly put aside a little white cat that was trying to climb up by pulling at her clothes, and said calmly.

She didn't know why she suddenly became so popular with cats, as this had never happened before.

Is it because she is in Kaguya's form now?

Chapter 192: Kuang San: The world is filthy again

For the next period of time, the three of them did not go anywhere and stayed in "Cat Gensokyo" until the business closed.

At this time, the setting sun has dyed the sky into the colors of dusk. People who are hurrying by have finished their day's work and are preparing to go home to relax their tired minds and bodies. The birds that have gone out to find food have also returned to their nests.

"I had a very happy day today, all thanks to Shiori-san and Kaguya-san."

Sitting on a bench in the park, with a satisfied smile on her face, Kurumi spoke softly to Shiori and Kaguya who were sitting beside her.

"If you like, Kurumi, we can hang out together next time."

With a slight smile, Shiori gently waved to the child who was waving goodbye to her as he was about to go home under the guidance of his mother, then turned to Kurumi and said.

"It seems that Shiori-kun won't give up until he seals me."

Tilting her little head slightly, Kurumi gave Shiori a slightly evil smile.

"But I'm the same about this, Shiori-kun."

Hearing what Kurumi said, Shiori suddenly remembered that time on the school rooftop, when Kurumi said that her target was her own business.

"Meow..."

But before she could ask Kurumi, a faint cry of grief reached the ears of her, Kurumi and Kaguya at the same time, causing them to subconsciously look in the direction of the sound.

What caught the eyes of the three people was a little kitten limping out from the grass, its body covered with scars.

The moment the kitten saw the three people, it seemed as if it had seen something terrifying, and immediately wanted to turn around and run back into the bushes, but——

"Ha, you're quite good at running."

Accompanied by a teasing voice, a boy who looked about 15 or 6 years old came out from behind the bushes, and kicked the kitten that had stopped in its tracks and was about to run in another direction, sending it flying into the empty park. Then he walked step by step towards the kitten that was no longer able to get up and escape, with a smile on his face that was full of joy and ferocity.

The young man did not notice Shizhi and the other two. He just walked up to the kitten, stepped on its body, and rolled it back and forth hard, causing the kitten to let out a series of shrill cries of pain.

However, the young man did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for this. He closed his eyes as if he was enjoying this feeling.

"Hey you!"

Seeing this scene, Kurumi and Kaguya narrowed their eyes at the same time. Shiori wanted to speak out to stop the boy, and then——

boom!

The sudden sound of gunfire drowned out all other sounds. Under Shizhi's stunned gaze, the boy didn't have time to react. He fell straight to the ground with a hole in his chest, without a sound.

A pool of blood quietly spread on the ground. Seeing this scene, Shizhi and the people on Fraxinus all had their pupils shrink violently, and then Shizhi's vision stained with blood was quietly blocked by a pair of soft hands.

Although she lost her vision briefly, Shiori's other senses were fine. So before she came to her senses, she heard the smooth conversation between Kaguya and Kurumi.

"Is there any way to dispose of the body?"

"Of course, but Shiori-san isn't used to this kind of situation? I'm so sorry."

"After all, she is different from us and more like other elves."

"Ah, after hearing what Kaguya-san said, I suddenly became curious about Kaguya-san's past."

"If you want to know, let's exchange."

"Well, I'll need to think about it then."

As Kurumi finished speaking, Shiori only heard a faint sound similar to chewing, and then the slender hand that was blocking his eyes was removed, and his vision was restored.

Then what came into Shiori's eyes was Kurumi, who had already revealed her spirit attire and angelic appearance, and was pointing a shorter ancient pistol at the kitten, her eyes full of heartache and tenderness.

"Dalet"

Along with the huge clock-shaped Angel of Time, a dark red shadow emerged from the position of the 'IV' moment and injected into the muzzle of the gun. Kurumi aimed at the scarred kitten and pulled the trigger.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, in Shizhi's eyes, the world seemed to be slowed down infinitely, and the process of the spiritual bullet attacking the kitten was also stretched to the limit. Shizhi could even see the trajectory formed by the afterimage it left in the air.

The body's reaction is faster than the brain. The shadow of the lance quietly appeared in Shizhi's hand in one thousandth of a millisecond, and quickly changed in the direction of reality.
