A journey into an infinite dimension

————Although the prerequisite for exercising the body is to rest for a period of time, rather than the day after being injured, according to Kaguya's understanding, Kaguya will only maintain a common sense level of understanding of the knowledge that she is not interested in, and will not go deep into it.

So she probably didn't know about this.

Jiaye didn't mean to fool Kaguya, but he always felt that if he continued like this, he would probably have to spend the whole day under Kaguya's gaze.

It would be better to go out and distract Kaguya a little.

As for injuries, there is no need to worry.

Thanks to a certain ability I drew last night, the recovery speed of my injuries has been accelerated. Although it has not yet reached the level of complete recovery, it is basically no longer a serious problem.

Moreover, the recovery speed will not be too shocking. Even if it is discovered, it can be easily deceived by saying that it is a "special physique".

"That's after a period of recuperation, not the day after the injury."

However, contrary to Jiaye's expectations, Kaguya was not fooled by him at all. Instead, she looked at him with a sneer, her eyes full of contempt.

"Do you think I don't understand this kind of knowledge because I'm not interested in it?"

If I hadn't specifically learned some knowledge about this yesterday, I would have been fooled by him today.

This cunning guy.

"Ah?"

The unexpected development left Jia Ye stunned.

Although he was surprised that the plan failed, he was even more surprised that Kaguya would actually get involved in this kind of knowledge that was not in line with her interests.

"What do you mean by that look?"

Glaring at Kaguya unhappily, Kaguya said dissatisfiedly.

“Can’t I grow?”

"No, as your teacher, I am extremely pleased with your growth."

Coming back to his senses, Jia Ye waved his hand and chuckled.

Although this was the truth, the way Jiaye looked at Kaguya was like a kind old father looking at his daughter who had finally stopped being picky about food and had grown up with satisfaction, which made Kaguya feel uncomfortable no matter how she was looked at.

"Don't refer to yourself as 'my teacher'. I don't consider you a teacher."

Kaguya said coldly.

This guy is only a few years older than me, but he likes to call himself my teacher.

Although he is indeed a teacher in terms of profession, but since they are almost the same age, why should he take on the responsibilities of a teacher?

What do you mean by 'only teachers protect students, not students protect teachers'? He's clearly just a tutor of about the same age...

A self-righteous, annoying... guy...

Looking at Kaguya in front of her, her slender fingers couldn't help but clench slightly, and Kaguya thought hatefully in her heart.

...You are so noisy too.

"After all, it was me who said there was no need to treat me as a teacher."

With a smile, Jiaye didn't care at all about Kaguya's prickly tone.

"But staying stuck at home all the time won't help with recovery, will it?"

"...Where do you want to go?"

As if she was convinced by Kaguya, after a brief silence, Kaguya relaxed a little.

“Actually, I don’t know either.”

Stretching out his right hand, the only one he could move freely, Jia Ye smiled calmly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya's gaze towards Kaya gradually became more and more hostile.

Is this guy kidding himself?

"Don't be angry, after all, I just thought of this at the last minute."

Gaya said with a nonchalant smile.

"Why don't you help me choose?"

"How about staying home."

Kaguya said calmly.

"Well, how about going to the library? I'm a bit interested in the literature of this area."

"Can you read with one hand?"

"There's always a way, and you're always here."

"...As you like."

"Thank you, Kaguya."

"......snort."

......

......

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago.

Legend has it that this area was once a paradise where gods, monsters, and humans coexisted.

The gods symbolizing night and mirrors guard this paradise from invasion by outsiders; the fox monsters who grew up here bless the harvest and the prosperity of the village; and the humans who migrated here from somewhere in the past offer sacrifices to the gods and monsters.

The three helped each other, coexisted and prospered together, and together built a peaceful and tranquil pure land in that chaotic era.

It is said that the gods love to dance, and their dancing moves are even enough to make the bright moon in the sky pale in comparison.

Monsters, on the other hand, love to sing, and their singing can make people intoxicated and feel supreme peace.

One sings, the other dances, and with the human witches' cooperation, it is an annual grand spectacle and festival that belongs only to the full moon night in midsummer.

However, the good times did not last long.

This peaceful scene was soon ruthlessly shattered.

At a festival one year, humans mixed a poison that was extremely poisonous to both gods and monsters into the fine wine offered to them, causing the two to lose all their power without any defense.

That was humanity's long-planned betrayal.

After years of recuperation, people are no longer satisfied with simply living under the protection of others.

Rather than receiving protection from others, people want to personally obtain the power to protect their own clan.

Therefore, humans betrayed the gods and monsters who had accepted them and protected them in the past.

The purpose is to obtain and possess the power of both.

However, what humans did not expect was that the gods who had lost their power were no longer able to maintain the barrier protecting the entire area. As a result, a country that had long coveted this land launched an army attack the very night it discovered that the barrier had disappeared.

What should have been a ceremony to commemorate and celebrate peace, on that day, turned into a night of destruction written with betrayal and blood.

No one knows what happened next.

Because after dawn, people discovered that both the people who originally lived in the paradise and the foreign invaders had disappeared without a trace as if they had never existed.

Including the village that should have existed, and the mirror-clear lake where the gods live.

Some people say that this is a form of kami-suki (divine disappearance), a revenge from gods and monsters who have been betrayed by humans.

Some people say that this is just a fictional story, a folk legend widely circulated among storytellers.

No one knows whether this story is true or not.

Just like no one knows why the people in the story mysteriously disappear.

"Sure enough, no matter where it is, there are always some legends of this type."

Jia Ye gently closed the old book in his hand, took a long breath, looked at the documents on the table, and couldn't help sighing.

This seemingly outrageous and absurd record belongs entirely in the category of story fiction. However, in a world with unusual rules, it might actually be history that happened.

However, the reason why Jia Ye specifically sought out this type of book to read was simply because he was more interested in this type of uncommon subject matter, and he didn't have any special ideas.

After all, he is injured now, so he doesn't intend to get into trouble during this period of time.

"Do you like this kind of subject matter?"

Sitting in Kaguya's arms, Kaguya, wearing a mask, looked up at him and asked curiously.

"It's okay. At least I like it better than those knowledge books that can be memorized backwards."

Looking down at Kaguya, Kaguya smiled.

————Don’t get me wrong, there is no deep meaning behind the posture of the two of them at this moment. It is simply because Kaguya took the initiative to act as Kaya’s hands to help him read, so she chose this convenient posture.

Given the height difference, in this position, Kaguya can easily help Kaya hold the book, and can also read with him without blocking his vision.

Thanks to this, in addition to the various classics that Jiaye took, there was also a pile of books related to height growth on the table.

"So that's why you can imagine the possibility of a sequel to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter?"

Nodding, a hint of realization flashed across Kaguya's eyes.

No wonder I always feel that this guy seems to have a different temperament when reading this type of book. Is it because of his hobby?

———Come to think of it, I don’t seem to know much about this guy.

Especially things about his past.

...Just asking by the way.

It's not out of curiosity, I just want to know, that's all.

Chapter 311: True Mouth Cannon (Confident)

"My past?"

In the public library, Kaguya, who looked like a loving brother and sister to outsiders, was stunned when he heard Kaguya's question.

"Ah."

Nodding, Kaguya looked at the stunned Kaguya and asked.

"can not say?"

"There's nothing I can't say. I'm just wondering why you're suddenly curious about this kind of thing."

After coming to his senses, Jia Ye was surprised, but he did not refuse.

However, what he said was not his real past, but the identity in this world that was arranged for him by the Will of Honkai.

"I am an orphan. Since I became conscious, I have been growing up in an institution that specializes in cultivating talents."

"But that place can only be regarded as a boring place."

"Boring philosophy, boring education, boring methods, and even the level of knowledge taught is boring."

"Although it is undeniable that that place has indeed cultivated many geniuses, those people are just defective products."

"So after I accumulated enough strength, I left that place, leaving behind a small but not insignificant trouble."

"Later, my sister took the initiative to find me, recognized me as her relative, and arranged an identity for me in society and provided other conveniences, allowing me to live as an ordinary person."

"After that, nothing special happened, until I met you and became your tutor."

Flipping through the memories related to his identity and background, Jiaye explained concisely.

It always feels like a particularly troublesome background.

But this way, I have found a reasonable explanation for my monstrous talent and knowledge beyond my age level.

While complaining about this background setting, Jia Ye thought.

"You said you taught a few people before, and they were all from that organization? And your lover too."

Listening quietly to Kaya's narration, Kaguya always felt that after hearing these words, the distance between her and him seemed to be a little closer.

Not everyone is willing to share their past with others, and those who are usually willing to share are those who are deeply trusted.

This discovery made Kaguya's mouth, hidden under the mask, curl up slightly in a happy arc.
