A journey into an infinite dimension

Realizing that something was wrong, Jia Ye suddenly opened his eyes. Then, as his vision blurred briefly, the scene that came into his eyes completely stunned him.

Reflected in Jiaye's eyes were a pair of strange eyes that also reflected his appearance.

Why is it strange? Because these eyes have gray irises but blue pupils.

These eyes seemed to contain all kinds of emotions, but hidden in the very core was tenderness and affection that could not be restrained or hidden.

Thanks to the powerful eyesight he gained when he awakened the Geass, even at this almost non-existent distance, Jiaye could see the appearance of the owner of these eyes clearly.

"Pretty" and "beautiful" are not enough to describe her looks. "Stunning beauty" and "peerless beauty" are also half a point apart.

She is not like Ichihime, Enju and other girls who are still in their budding years, nor are she like Hong, Ling, Xilin and other girls who are in their prime years. She is not like Melusin, Kakuya and Honkai Will whose appearance is between girls.

From the outside, she looked a few years older than Jia Ye, whose appearance had not changed since she obtained the Herrscher Core. She was about 19 or 20 years old as a human female. Her stunning face was mature and charming, yet gentle and pure. Her long hair in the Night Princess style, which was not straight and smooth, added a touch of dignity and elegance to her.

If I were to describe it in words, it would probably be a temperament somewhere between a young girl and a so-called 'big sister'.

It cannot be denied that among the girls that Jiaye knows, the only ones who can compare with her in appearance and temperament are probably Hong, Melusin, Kakuya and Honkai Will.

Ling and Xilin both seem a little immature, but Melusin, Ge Jiuye and the other two have a more immortal temperament with a bit of vicissitudes of life.

As for Kaguya...he doesn't seem to want to be used for comparison, because he feels that no matter the result is win or lose, he has already lost the moment he is used for comparison.

However, the focus now is not on the girl's gracefulness, but on the fact that she is currently maintaining close contact with Jia Ye.

Not just physical contact, but also lip contact.

However, the girl did not seem satisfied with this level of contact. In Jiaye's perception, he only felt as if some smooth and flexible foreign object was gradually drilling through his lips and teeth, trying to invade his mouth.

He quickly came to his senses in just a few breaths, and the Geass lines in Jiaye's eyes flickered slightly. Then, in the next second, his figure sitting in the original position turned into a shadow and disappeared without any warning, and he appeared at the door of the office. He leaned against the door and looked at the girl in a floating body who slowly turned around and looked at him with some doubt.

"Nice to meet you, Master."

The girl didn't care about Jiaye's escape. She just sat in the void with a calm and gentle smile, leaning on the void in front of her with three fingers and saluted Jiaye respectfully. With a white kimono, she looked like a bride on her first night.

"Weiming, I am not very talented, please give me your guidance for the rest of my life."

"..."

However, at this moment, Jia Ye did not have the mind to complain about the meaning contained in these words. After calming down a little, he just looked at the girl sitting in the void with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Although he had considered how to treat the mask after it transformed, he never imagined that he would actually steal someone's first kiss when they just met.

Of course he knew how this situation happened. After all, he still had the mask on his face when the girl transformed, so it was normal for this situation to occur.

However, if he had thought of this earlier and responded in advance, perhaps this incident could have been avoided, so in the final analysis, the fault lies with him.

However, even so, it was also a fact that he kissed a third person besides Hong and Melusine. So, how should he face them?

Although no one would know about this as long as he and she didn't say anything, the guilt and remorse in their hearts would not disappear just like that.

"...Sorry, I got distracted."

Suppressing all the emotions in his heart, Jia Ye closed his eyes and smiled at the girl apologetically.

But he didn't know that his smile revealed not only apology for ignoring the girl, but also more and stronger guilt.

Naturally, the girl saw all of this, but for unknown reasons, she did not point it out. She just flickered her eyes slightly, then shook her head gently, and sent the Demon Eye on the table in front of Jia Ye.

"It's okay, Master, you don't need to worry too much about me, because I am just your tool."

"...Don't say that again."

After taking the Demon Eye and putting it on, Jia Ye opened his eyes, looked at the girl, and said seriously.

"Perhaps you were a tool in the past, but the moment you spoke your first words to me, you were no longer a tool, but a unique being capable of independent thinking."

Although he doesn't mind using anyone as his puppet or chess piece, this does not include those he recognizes.

Although the girl in front of him seemed to be meeting him for the first time, she had actually been with him for two years. Although she was in the form of a mask that had no intelligence, it was undeniable.

In other words, Jiaye had already distinguished her from other people who could be used.

He can treat anyone as a prop or pawn, but he doesn't like people around him to treat themselves as props.

Chapter 125 [Love] [Heart]

"At your command, Master."

As if she had expected Jia Ye to say this, the girl floated to Jia Ye's side with a smile, then gently landed on the ground, and casually put her face in front of Jia Ye and spoke softly.

"Master, please proceed with the final step of transformation and grant me a true name that belongs only to me."

Looking at the delicate face so close to him, Jia Ye inevitably recalled the scene just now.

What followed was an increasingly strong sense of guilt.

If it weren't for the suppression of rationality, Jia Ye might have chosen to flee from the spot at this moment.

However, Jiaye also understood how important a real name was to a new being, so he immediately gathered all his thoughts and carefully helped the girl think of a name.

"...You need to step back. You're too close."

However, the sweet breath that gently touched his face made it difficult for Jia Ye to calm down.

My face is itchy.

"Yes."

With a slightly mischievous smile, the girl took two steps back, keeping a distance of about half a body length from Jia Ye.

In just this moment, Jia Ye realized that the girl in front of him was definitely a girl with a little devilish personality.

I just don't know whether Hong is more sinister or she is more sinister————

""心（こころ）""

Perhaps it was a sudden flash of inspiration, and a name emerged in Jiaye's mind along with this nonsensical idea.

"Kisaragi Kokoro (きさらぎこころ)", the mask reflects emotions, and emotions come from the heart. If the emotions in the heart change, it means that the mood will also change. What do you think of this name?"

Forgive Jiaye, naming is really not his strong point.

After all, the name he gave to Ge Jiuye is basically a homophone of his name but with different Chinese characters, which shows how weak his naming ability is.

So being able to think to this extent is already his limit.

"Ruyuexin...?"

As she chewed on the name carefully, an extremely beautiful smile quietly blossomed on the face of the girl Ruyuexin.

"I like this name very much, thank you, Master."

And the next moment after she acknowledged the name, the boundless magic power in Jiaye's body suddenly began to surge uncontrollably, but soon it subsided again before Jiaye could react.

It seemed to be just a fleeting illusion, but feeling the magic power in his body suddenly reduced, Jia Ye understood that this was not his illusion.

At the same time, a panel popped out from his consciousness.

......

Real name: Ruyue Xin

Race: Monster - Empty Face Spirit

Height and weight: 166cm (5'11")

Attribute: Chaos·Evil

Ability: All emotions and desires, unpredictable moods - every move, every frown and smile can easily mobilize the emotions of living beings, and use them as food and weapons

It may be true or false, real or unreal; it may be empty or illusory, and it is difficult to distinguish among the myriad emotions.

The souls of two lovers are born together, either black or white, who can see it, who can recognize it?

Introduction: The masked Fusangshen, thanks to the love and cherishment of her master for two years, her existence is more like a new god than the general resentful monster Fusangshen.

However, she is a monster, and this fact cannot be changed after all. But who says that gods cannot be monsters?

......

Looking at Xin's information panel, Jiaye suddenly discovered something.

The system seems to be preparing to change jobs to become a riddler.

This introduction to the heart is quite concise.

And she is quite good at talking nonsense, so how can he love and cherish her so much?

Although it is true that he never leaves his body, after all, when the mask is invisible, it will not affect reality. He also wants to try whether he can successfully trigger the ability mechanism of the mask, so he has not taken it off since he drew it.

But how can we love and cherish it?

Anyway, Jiaye couldn't understand the intention behind writing this system this way.

...Okay, he admitted that he was really confused at the moment and actually cared about such a small matter.

Or maybe his heart had been in turmoil from the very beginning, and it only calmed down a little when he came up with the name.

Now that the name has been chosen and there are no other distractions, the guilt and remorse that had been suppressed before have resurfaced.

"Xin, let me show you around Chaldea. This will be your home from now on."

However, Jiaye couldn't just abandon Xin and run to some other place to calm down, so he pretended to be calm and spoke to Xin.

"Master, you want to erase my memory when you leave this world and leave me behind, right?"

However, in response to Jia Ye's invitation, Xin shook her head slightly, staring at Jia Ye with a pair of mysterious eyes, and said softly.

Although this sentence was a question, her tone was extremely certain.

"...You know what?"

His eyes paused slightly, then Jia Ye raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses and said.

He did have this plan. After all, he didn't know whether the system could take people through time and space, and clearing all traces and ties he left in a world had become a habit of his.

A 'bad habit' as Ge Jiuye put it.

However, he did not expect that Xin would know that he wanted to do this, nor did he expect that she would know the fact that "there is more than one world".

"Even before I fell into the hands of my master, a great being told me my origins, responsibilities, and everything I should know."

After getting Jia Ye's personal confirmation, he didn't know if it was Jia Ye's illusion, but he always felt that Xin's temperament seemed to have changed because of this.

He restored the distance he had previously created and moved a step closer to Jia Ye. His eyes, which had completely turned into pure gray, stared intently at Jia Ye's eyes hidden under the killing magic eye, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to see through his heart.

"Master, why do you want to hurt yourself like this? Don't you have any attachment to the emotions and memories with other people?"

He reached out and gently stroked Jia Ye's cheek. The voice of his heart seemed soft and ethereal at this moment.

“The memories with them will always remain in my mind.”

There was Xin in front of him and the door behind him. He didn't notice anything unusual about Xin. With nowhere to retreat, Jia Ye was regretting why he had just run into such a dead end, while responding to Xin's questions.

"But it's too cruel for you to be forgotten by the one you love, isn't it?"

Xin continued to ask relentlessly, and from her expression, it could be seen that if she didn't get the answer she wanted today, she would keep asking.

"It doesn't matter, there are still people who won't forget me."

Yes, for Jiaye, as long as Hong and the others don’t forget him, that’s enough.

For him, the memories of other people cannot compare to this feeling.

This was his real problem—because no one could truly enter his heart like Hong and the others, he could easily act in a way that made others forget about him.

If one day he were asked to erase all of Hong's memories of him, even if the reason for doing so was for Hong's own good, even if he chose to do so in the end, he would definitely not do it so lightly.

"What about the others? Master, have you ever considered the feelings of those whose memories of you have been erased?"

Xin's emotions seemed to become visibly agitated, and it was not until this moment that Jia Ye finally discovered that something was wrong.

"They can't feel anything because they have no basis for such feelings."

Grabbing Xin's hand, while she was not paying attention, Jia Ye put his arm around her waist and pushed her against the wall behind her.

From then on, offense and defense alternated.

"You too, Heart?"

Gazing at the pair of pure and flawless grey eyes in front of him, perhaps seeing a familiar look in them, Jia Ye gently let go of his 'heart', then took two steps back and asked lightly.

"Master, you are so gentle."

He adjusted his clothes gently and smiled softly.
