A journey into an infinite dimension

Neither narcissistic nor complacent, Jiaye simply tells the cruel reality calmly.

However, Ge Jiuye, who was able to sense his emotions, knew that this guy was so excited that he wanted to step into the door immediately. However, due to his tsundere personality, he tried to use this method of mocking the air to calm himself down in order to avoid showing too obvious excitement later.

【Be careful, arrogance will ruin your life. 】

Ge Jiuye did not say this out loud, so Jia Ye did not know that he was being criticized in his mind. After he finally adjusted his mood, he put away the "Unsealing Master" and stepped in before the door closed.

The door that lost its support closed again and disappeared, and the world returned to the tranquility it had at the beginning. Only that indescribable figure was still dancing and swaying tirelessly, as if saying goodbye to Jia Ye, and as if waiting for his next arrival.

......

......

As he stepped out of the door, the "Sky Eye" immediately detected the existence of something. While receiving the feedback information, Jia Ye subconsciously lightened his steps.

Walking gently to the chair beside the bed and sitting down, Jia Ye looked at Hong with a complicated expression. Hong was sleeping soundly on his bed with clear tears quietly flowing from the corners of her eyes. He suddenly regretted why he wasted time on meaningless mood adjustments and why he couldn't come back earlier.

"...Gaya..."

It was just a dreamlike murmur. Although the voice was soft, it hit Jiaye's heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel as if his heart was being torn apart by something sharp. He even had difficulty breathing.

"I am here."

Gently holding Hong's little hand, Jia Ye said softly.

Sorry I'm late.

Feeling his hand being subconsciously held tightly by Hong, Jia Ye silently rested his forehead on their clasped hands and thought guiltily.

"...Ga...Ye?"

Although she fell asleep, she did not enter a deep sleep. Feeling the movement around her, Hong slowly opened her beautiful eyes blurred by tears and stared blankly at the figure in front of her, which was shrouded in a haze but was already familiar to her deep in her soul.

"Another... dream?"

Sitting up slowly, Hong raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but suddenly found that her hand was being held by Jia Ye in her 'dream', and she couldn't help but smile softly.

"I even dreamt about the warmth of his palms this time. Could this be a sign that he's coming back soon?"

"If the temperature of your palms is a sign, what about your whole body?"

She looked gently at Jia Ye who suddenly held her in his arms, breathing in that familiar scent, feeling that familiar body temperature, everything seemed as if he had really returned.

"Yeah, as for my whole body, I guess it's because I was dreaming too deeply."

Reaching out and gently hugging Jiaye, resting her head on his shoulder, Hong responded softly.

This is the first time I have entered such a realistic dream, so even if it is just for a little while, at least let me relive your tenderness for a while.

"No, the dream is over."

As she heard the gentle whisper of the person she loved, Hong suddenly felt a touch of warmth falling on her cheek, and something warm and soft was gently wiping away her tears.

No, the feelings in the dream shouldn't be so clear.

This real feeling finally brought Hong back to her senses, and the hazy feeling that shrouded her mind when she first woke up also completely dissipated.

Just as Jiaye said, the dream has ended, but the lover in my arms still exists————

"...Welcome back."

Silently tightening her arms around Jiaye, Hong completely relaxed the strength that supported her body, allowing herself to lean in his arms, rubbing his chest like a child.

"I am back."

Holding the beauty in his arms gently, as if he was holding some precious treasure that was unique in the world, Jia Ye said softly.

"Love..."

In the world of consciousness, Ge Jiuye looked at the two affectionate people with a complicated expression, then shifted his gaze from the water mirror to the dreamy scenery outside the window.

"What exactly does it feel like to be in love?"

"The meaning is unclear and cannot be understood."

......

......

"Where have you been these days?"

Sucking Jiaye's fingers, Hong asked in a slightly unclear voice.

"I'm trapped in the barrier and can't get out."

Feeling the warm and moist touch from his fingertips, a strange desire quietly surged into his heart, and Jiaye forced himself not to care about this feeling.

"I just used the power I found inside to find the way out."

"I knew that sooner or later you would be trapped by yourself."

Seeing that the magic power required to maintain daily activities was almost replenished, Hong spit out Jiaye's finger, then stretched out her rosy and attractive little tongue to lick the wound on the fingertip, helping to stop the bleeding of the wound that was still bleeding.

"But I'm glad you're okay."

Seeing that Hong refused to mention the topic of how he could survive even though he had been pierced through the heart by Aziz Dahaka, Jiaye felt warm in his heart. Then, as Hong exclaimed, he suddenly pulled her over and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and breathing in her fragrance lovingly.

"It was so close that I couldn't come back to you."

"At least, it didn't really happen, did it?"

Raising her hand, she touched Jiaye's hair, then leaned her back against Jiaye and spoke softly.

"Honestly, if Melusine hadn't still been able to sense the contract with you, you probably wouldn't be able to see me right now."

Hearing this, he subconsciously tightened the delicate body in his arms, and Jia Ye couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Yes, fortunately the contract between him and Melusine was not terminated because he died once, otherwise even if he was resurrected and found her, he would never see Hong again.

"So, just think of it as my fault and don't let this happen again next time, okay?"

"This kind of thing is not something I can just say."

Jia Ye gave a slight wry smile, then said firmly.

"But I promise you, from now on I will be more cautious and will not let my guard down until I have completely crushed the enemy into powder."

"It seems like you're going to become a corpse whipper in the eyes of others."

Amused by Jiaye's words, Hong chuckled, then reached out and pinched his cheek and pulled it gently.

"I'm also wrong. If I had been with you at that time, maybe things would have been different."

This is what Hong has been thinking about these days.

If she had not stood there and watched Jiaye finish off Aziz Dahaka, but had followed him, would she have had the chance to notice Aziz Dahaka's abnormality in advance, or push Jiaye away at the critical moment?

If that were the case, would Jia Ye have a chance to survive?

Given Jia Ye's familiarity with Hong, he could naturally tell what she was thinking, so he immediately flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Don't think about that. If anything happened to you, I would be devastated."

Facing her puzzled gaze, Jia Ye said in a low voice.

"Alas, I'm just a doll. Maybe if I fix it up I can still be used again, okay?"

Hearing this, Hong also smiled softly.

Yes, just like if Jia Ye really died, she would not live alone, the two of them can only be said to be equally bad.

They are a perfect match.

"Do you think I'll have enough time to think calmly when something really happens?"

"Haha, I'm very satisfied with your answer, so I'll give you some rewards."

Chirp.

After glancing at Hong with a smile in her eyes, Jia Ye's eyes flashed with tenderness. He was no longer passive, but took the initiative to attack her.

A sweet and charming atmosphere filled the entire room. Except for a poor spectator with a cold face and a blush on his pretty face, no one disturbed the two people who were expressing their thoughts and love to each other.

Chapter 40: Bustling Chaldea

"Speaking of which, how much time has passed? Has anything happened since then?"

After licking his cherry lips reluctantly, Jiaye stopped the action, tilted his head back slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's shameful that I don't have enough lung capacity.

"Two days later, Ritsuka arrived with dozens of servants and Da Vinci. When we tried to reenter your inherent barrier, we encountered Azi Dahaka, who had just emerged from his grave. Then, Azi Dahaka joined Chaldea."

She licked her lips with some reluctance, turned around with a charming smile on the corner of her red mouth, put her arms around Jia Ye's neck, and gently leaned close to his ear and blew softly.

"Well, do you want to take the next step?"

"Actually, I haven't eaten for two days."

He subconsciously evaded the question, and then Jia Ye suddenly reacted.

"No, didn't you leave out a lot of things in between? Why did Azi Dahaka join Chaldea?"

"If you flirt and run, you'll be caught in a good boat."

As if to vent her anger, she gently bit Jia Ye's earlobe. Hong snorted and stood up from his arms.

"Because he discovered that his clan leader was with us, he happily joined us after being killed by us three times."

"Where are you going?"

Jia Ye, who felt a little empty in his heart because of Hong's departure, looked at her walking towards the door and asked subconsciously.

"Cooking for you."

"No, please let me come!"

Shivering involuntarily, Jia Ye quickly stood up and walked over to stop her.

"You just woke up, it would be dangerous to go to the kitchen, so just leave the cooking task to me."

This is no joke. If Hong is really asked to cook, his stomach, which has been empty for two days and has nothing to fill it, will definitely have big problems.

"You know best whether I'm awake or not. If you think my cooking is bad, just tell me directly."

She glared at Jia Ye hatefully, then turned her face away with a slightly red face, not looking at him.

She also knows what her cooking tastes like, but what can she do since puppets and humans have different tastes?

"No, your cooking is not bad."

With his hands on Hong's shoulders, Jiaye said sincerely.

"Because there's no such thing as delicious or unpalatable food when you can't eat it at all."

“###”

The veins on his forehead were bulging. Hong took a few deep breaths and barely resisted the urge to take advantage of Jia Ye's weakness and kill him on the spot.

It seems that this guy is now in a state where he will tear down the roof if he is not beaten for three days.

"Okay, you're awesome because you cook delicious food."

Hong said this with a forced smile, then gently nudged Jia Ye's chest with her head in retaliation, then snorted coldly, walked around him and walked out of the room.

Just wait for me, I will keep you awake tonight, and I won’t stop no matter what you say.

Feeling an inexplicable chill, Jia Ye looked at Hong's back and silently decided that he would pretend to be asleep tonight no matter what.

"By the way, where are the others?"

Catching up with Hong, Jiaye naturally took her hand and asked as they walked.

"They should be doing simulation training. After all, what happened to you has made everyone truly understand the cruelty of this path. It's normal for their mentality to change to some extent."

She couldn't help but smile in her heart, but on the surface Hong still didn't give Jia Ye a good look, but she didn't take her hand back either.

"By the way, Chaldea is getting quite lively right now, so you should be prepared."

"Ok?"

boom! !

Just as Jiaye finished his puzzled voice, a fire dragon suddenly emerged from the door of a room in front of him. The roar of the explosion resounded throughout Chaldea, and even the ground beneath his feet seemed to vibrate slightly.

Subconsciously protecting Hong, Jia Ye looked coldly in the direction of the room where a large amount of black smoke was pouring out. The pattern of the reversed Tree of Life flickered quietly under his eyelids.
