A journey into an infinite dimension

[However, I really can't be at ease with Leah and Abby.]

After opening the mall interface and buying an item he had long had his eye on, Xiao Jiaye slowly walked to the guardrail, gazing calmly at the distant sky where a ray of sunlight seemed to be gradually breaking through the clouds.

After a moment, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's me."

"Who am I? I...ahem, it's me."

[Ahhhhh, I actually forgot that I'm still a child. ]

【I was careless. 】

【Is it really. 】

【That's all.】

......

......

"I didn't expect that the rain this morning would actually give rise to a typhoon."

It was dinner time. After putting dinner on the table, Jiaye sat down and smiled at Kaguya who was sitting opposite him.

"Does the sudden appearance and disappearance have something to do with uncommon sense?"

After muttering "I'm starting to eat", Kaguya picked up the chopsticks and asked curiously.

"It's likely that. However, although I sensed the fluctuations of the battle, I had no motivation to pay attention to it because of 'Rainy Day Sloth Syndrome'."

Nodding, Jiaye spoke nonsense seriously.

Is this something a teacher should say?

He looked at Jiaye speechlessly and complained lightly in his heart. Kaguya did not doubt his words.

After all, nowadays, there was no need for him to hide such things from her.

Even if he really concealed it, it meant that he didn't want her to get involved, so no matter how suspicious she was, it would be useless.

————If Kaguya knew that Kaya had turned into a child and been outside in the rain all morning, and even brought a little girl to the hotel, I wonder how interesting her expression would be.

"By the way, Kaguya, I have a gift for you after dinner."

Probably guessing that Kaguya was complaining about herself in her heart, Jiaye smiled at her calmly.

"Gift?"

The slender hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Kaguya blinked, looking at Jiaye in confusion, wondering why he suddenly wanted to give her a gift.

"Well, it's called a gift, but it's actually something we agreed on a long time ago."

Gently closing one eye, Jia Ye smiled mysteriously.

"Well......"

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at him intently. Kaguya felt very unhappy with his behavior of keeping her in suspense.

The guy who is keeping it in suspense, doesn't he know that this will make me so worried that I won't be able to eat?

"Well, you'll know after dinner. Don't worry."

However, Kaguya's reaction made Kaya laugh even more happily.

"I'm starting~"

"...Remember this."

So, the dinner went on and ended with Kaguya feeling curious and unhappy, and Kaya feeling happy.

Then after dinner, as expected, Kaguya, who was extremely curious and had found it very difficult to hold back until now, directly blocked Kaya in the living room.

"Bring it here."

Extending her hand, Kaguya said calmly.

Unconsciously, she had gradually become less polite to Jiaye.

Or it should be said that she had never been polite to Jia Ye from the beginning, and now she just no longer regarded Jia Ye as an outsider who needed to be treated normally.

"Yes Yes."

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiaye took out a glass-colored jade pendant carved with a full moon, night-blooming cereus, bamboo and a rabbit from his pocket, but actually from the system backpack, and handed it to Kaguya, explaining it to her.

"This jade pendant can tap into your potential and help you awaken the abilities that best suit you."

"To use it, just place it against your forehead. But don't ask me why it's in the shape of a jade pendant. It was already this shape when I got it."

Before Kaguya could raise any questions, Kaya gave a direct explanation.

After all, when a boy gives a girl a jade pendant, there is too much information to interpret. Instead of letting misunderstandings arise, it is better to explain it directly.

“I don’t know what the principle is.”

Curiously holding the jade pendant in her palm and observing it carefully, a hint of fondness flashed in Kaguya's red eyes.

She liked this jade pendant very much, or rather, this jade pendant was in line with her preferences in every aspect.

It looked like it was tailor-made for her.

————By the way, although this prop was originally in the form of a jade pendant, the patterns on it can be customized.

Jiaye simply decided on these patterns based on his understanding of Kaguya over the past period of time.

"Common sense can only describe and metaphorically describe things that are not common sense, but it cannot be complete."

Shaking his head, Jia Ye said.

"Want to try it now? It won't take long."

With an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, Jia Ye suggested.

"Then give it a try."

Kaguya has a stronger curiosity than most people, and she also has the drive to turn this curiosity into actual action, so she is always the first to try new things that she doesn't understand.

null---

She gently placed the jade pendant on her forehead as Jiaye had said. The next moment, accompanied by some ethereal voice, Kaguya's consciousness gradually immersed herself in a certain space. At the same time, in reality, her body suddenly lost the strength to support itself, and she gently fell into Jiaye's arms who caught her in time.

"Lost memories are but the shadows of a thing that never existed. Causes and traces have all vanished like rootless smoke."

Holding Kaguya's delicate body, he gently placed her on the sofa, then walked into the room to get a blanket and covered her with it to prevent her from catching a cold. Ignoring the prompt panel that popped up in his mind, Kaguya looked at her calmly and whispered a goodbye that would not leave any trace.

"Goodnight, Kaguya."

The next moment, an invisible force suddenly radiated from Kaguya's home to the entire earth and even the entire "world".

In an instant, except for a small number of people who were not affected, all traces of a person's past existence in this world disappeared without a trace.

Whether it’s memory, work, history of contact, or just existence.

"---Um?"

However, just as all the changes were coming to an end smoothly and Jia Ye was about to leave, another unexpected change suddenly occurred before his eyes.

Chapter 334: Escape is possible but useful! Although it is still shameful

"..."

"..."

Amid the twinkling stars in the sky, two meteors carrying different colors of light suddenly streaked across the silent night sky and finally stopped on the top of Mount Fuji.

The energy glow gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of the boy and girl who were wrapped in the glow and looking at each other in silence.

Jiaye looked at Kaguya in front of him...or rather, the existence that controlled Kaguya's body, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Originally, all preparations had been made and he could have left, but Kaguya, who was supposed to be in the state of awakening her abilities, suddenly woke up and attacked him without saying a word.

Although he had already seen that the 'Kaguya' in front of him was not Kaguya herself, and could probably guess her identity, but considering that it was Kaguya's body that was used, he did not fight back, but just intended to shake it off.

Then, after a chase that involved every possible means, the two of them came here.

"I just accidentally ran into your house while moving through space. There's no need to chase me like this."

Jia Ye shrugged, as if he was facing a stranger he had never met before. His tone, expression and attitude all seemed so distant and unfamiliar.

Even though he had guessed the identity of 'Hyuga' in front of him, Jiaye did not forget that at this moment, the two of them were just strangers who had never met each other.

At least, that's how it is for Kaguya, so Kaguya must behave that way too.

"...I don't like your attitude."

A pair of bright red eyes stared at Kaguya. Although they were exactly the same as Kaguya, there was a hint of otherworldliness and distance in them. The voice echoed softly under the night sky, and the words carried a familiarity that was different from that of facing a stranger.

Why......

His eyes narrowed slightly as Jiaye looked at Kaguya, feeling a surge of doubt and confusion in his heart.

[As for the fish that managed to escape the disaster, after all, it's not eliminated indiscriminately, so there will be some slip-ups, which is unavoidable.]

Spreading her hands, Ge Jiuye said that she would take the blame.

However, she was also very surprised and happy about this development.

The act of erasing other people's memories of themselves has finally been revealed. So, as the person whose memory has been erased, what will happen next? I am really looking forward to it.

and----

"Is that so? No wonder..."

Looking at 'Kaguya' through the screen, a hint of realization seemed to flash across Ge Jiuye's eyes.

"do you remember me?"

He looked at Kaguya with a complicated expression. This was the first time Kaguya continued to contact someone after erasing her memories of him.

It was also the first time that the memory clearing attempt failed.

How should I describe this feeling? It's a bit like a guilty thief.

In short, at this moment, Jiaye wished he could disappear from Kaguya's sight immediately.

"Why do you do this?"

However, facing Kaguya's question that he knew the answer to, 'Kaguya' did not answer. The figure that should have been in front of him suddenly appeared in front of him, holding his cheeks with both hands, and asked word by word.

At this moment, the distance between their cheeks was less than a few centimeters.

At this distance, each of them can clearly feel the other's breath hitting their face, and it seems that as long as one of them moves a little, they will kiss the other.

"Why do you want everyone to forget your existence?"

However, Kaguya didn't care about this. She just stared into Kaguya's eyes without blinking, as if she wanted to see through his mind, and questioned him in a light but stern voice.

Kaguya knew exactly what the man in front of her had done.

If it weren't for her special situation, she would have forgotten him and everything about him at this moment.

————No, this is not forgetting.

Because of forgetting, there is at least the possibility of being recalled.

However, what Jiaye did was to make it absolutely impossible for the memory to be recalled, and even to erase the fact that this memory "existed", making it disappear completely from the root.

There is no reason to even "remember" or "search" for something that does not exist.

Truly and thoroughly eliminate all causes and effects and fetters.

For those whose memories have been erased, this may not have any impact on them.

But for the person who took the initiative to erase everyone's memory, this is the cruelest thing.

If he had retained his memory.

Because what he has to face are the people who were close to him in the past, who have now all become strangers to whom he cannot even say hello.

So Kaguya really didn't understand why he did this.

"If I have to say it, I'm leaving and I won't be coming back, so I don't want to make you sad."

He gently broke free from Kaguya's hand and took a few steps back to create some distance between them. Suppressing his complicated emotions, Kaguya pretended to be calm and spoke.

"I don't know how you managed to escape, nor do I understand how you feel right now, but don't worry."
