Feeling the two soft lumps pressing against his arms, Kiyoshi Toosaka, who had just woken up, felt a little lustful in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed by his reason.

He didn't have the same sense of responsibility towards Zi as a guardian as he did towards Xiaoyu, but given Zi's innocent personality, he was too embarrassed to have any bad thoughts as he felt too guilty.

Kiyoshi Toosaka tried to pull his arms free from the mountain peaks, but Zi held them tightly, as if afraid that he would run away.

Tosaka Kiyoshi sighed in his heart: "Is this little demon tempting me to commit a crime?"

"Brother, what are we going to learn today?"

Zi held Qingyu Toosaka's arm and pulled Qingyu Toosaka to sit at the dining table, then let go of her arm.

After regaining his freedom, Kiyoshi Toosaka felt a little lost. Although he thought no in his heart, his body still honestly enjoyed the soft touch brought by Zi.

After coming to his senses, Tousaka Seiichi ate the porridge made by Skadi and said, "Today, let's continue to practice the ability to use the gaps. The goal is to be able to enter the world in the painting."

Zi's ​​interstitial ability is not a simple spatial ability, but the ability to enter the mirror world, the world in the painting, the world in the dream, and even the world in the book.

When she was just born, she could only exert abilities similar to crossing space. Over the years, Kiyoshi Toosaka has been slowly teaching her to master her abilities, not just the gaps, but also the realms.

Although the power of realm is more difficult to master than gap, it is Zi's fighting method, so he has been practicing it as a priority over the years.

After ensuring that Zi had a certain ability to protect herself, Tousaka Kiyoshi began to let Zi practice using the gap.

Among the many worlds that can be visited through gaps, entering the world in the painting is the easiest, so Toosaka Kiyoshi suggested that Yukari start practicing by entering the world in the painting.

The more realistic and specific the picture is, the easier it is to enter the world in the painting, so after breakfast, Toosaka Kiyoshi took out a few photos for Zi to practice.

Athena went to pick the fruits of the Youth Apple Tree. Today was the first day that the Youth Apple Tree, which she had taken care of for five years, bore fruit.

While Zi was practicing, Skadi called Kiyoshi Toosaka aside.

Tousaka Kiyoshi asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Skadi took a deep breath, as if to confess, and mustered up the courage to say, "Master Toosaka, I know it's wrong to be jealous of others, but seeing you and Nana go back to your room together every night, and seeing you and Nana appear together in the morning, I can no longer bear it."

"Why can you accept Nana but not me? Is there something I haven't done well enough? Please tell me directly and I will correct it!"

"Or do you really hate me? If so, I will leave on my own initiative and will never appear in front of you again."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was almost on the verge of tears, Toosaka Kiyoshi thought helplessly in his heart: I sleep with Athena, and I don't have to worry about what she thinks of me. If I were with you, I would probably lose my virginity immediately.

However, after all these years of getting along, he has developed some feelings for Skadi. If Skadi still insists on following him, then he has no reason to continue to refuse.

Tosaka Kiyoshi reached out and wiped the tears from Skadi's eyes: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't expect that my indecision would make you so uncomfortable. But before I answer you, I still want to ask you one last time, do you really want to follow me?"

Skadi answered without hesitation: "Of course! I have made this decision since I left my destroyed hometown with you."

Toosaka Kiyoshi was puzzled: "But why? We just met at that time, right? I don't think I have the charm to make you fall in love at first sight. If you just want to continue your bloodline, I suggest you think about it again, so as not to regret it when you meet someone you really like in the future. If then, I will not let you go. I am a very possessive person."

Skadi shook her head: "In the beginning, I really only stayed with you to continue my bloodline, so after you clearly refused, I never mentioned it again, because I also wanted to try to cultivate feelings with you."

"So what about now? Your thoughts still haven't changed?"

"No. The reason I came to you today is because I can no longer bear the feelings hidden in my heart, so... are you willing to accept me?"

The purple-haired girl looked at Toosaka Kiyoshi with both worry and anticipation, her eyelids trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was not at peace.

Toosaka Kiyoshi thought about it for a while and decided to follow his own desires. After all, no one gossips in this era, so he might as well be a lolicon!

What's wrong with Loli? She's soft and gentle, and easy to push down! You always have the initiative in your hands.

Those big sisters with big breasts and long legs will just drain you dry!

Just as Tousaka Kiyoshi was about to respond, Athena's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"What are you guys doing here sneaking around?"

Skadi suddenly became alert, as if she had been caught doing something bad, and quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't do anything! I just wanted to know what Master Toosaka wanted to eat for lunch! There's really nothing! Nana, please don't misunderstand me!"

Seeing that Skadi didn't want to be exposed, Kiyoshi Toosaka remained silent.

Athena looked at Skadi in confusion, thinking that Skadi's reaction was too big and there must be something fishy.

However, Athena was too lazy to delve into it, so she raised the fruit basket in her hand and said, "The apples of youth have been picked. Now the fruit tree has not grown up yet, so only twelve apples have been harvested."

Skadi took a look into the fruit basket and felt something strange: "The fruit on the tree seems to be different from the youthful apples I remember."

Tosaka Kiyoshi wondered: "What's the difference?"

This is an important recipe for the elixir of immortality. If something goes wrong, he will have to find new ingredients.

Skadi shook her head: "I'm not sure, they look exactly the same, but they just feel a little strange."

If other people felt strange, Kiyoshi Toosaka would probably just think they were illusions, but Skadi was the one who ate the original apple of youth, so Kiyoshi Toosaka had to take her intuition seriously.

Tousaka Kiyoshi took out an apple of youth and said, "We'll know if it works after we give it a try. The effect of the apple of youth is also effective on animals, right?"

Skadi nodded, and Tohsaka Kiyoshi patted Athena on the shoulder: "Go catch a bird and let's try it out."

Athena hesitated to speak, then turned and left silently.

Chapter 199 Athena in Conflict and Zi seeking Help

A few minutes later, Athena brought back a turtle. Kiyoshi Toosaka didn't care. It didn't matter whether it was a bird or not, as long as the caught animal could eat apples.

Then the three of them started feeding the turtles in the yard.

The turtle caught by Athena was about 40 centimeters long. The apple was divided into several pieces. It took the turtle nearly ten minutes to finish the apple.

Then, Kiyoshi Toosaka tied up the turtle with a rope and accelerated the passage of time to 20 million times, observing the turtle's physical condition.

If the apple of youth can work normally, the immortal turtle should remain in the same state as when it ate the apple, and it is tied up only for easy observation.

Before the experiment began, Tousaka Kiyoshi provided the turtle with magic power himself to maintain its life breath so that it would not starve to death.

With time accelerated by 20 million times, the turtle's limbs, which were originally struggling at a snail's pace, became as swift as a phantom, but stopped in just a blink of an eye, and then immediately retracted into the shell.

Time passed second by second. For every second that Tousaka Kiyoshi and the others spent, the turtles in the accelerated time state would spend 231 days.

Without Tousaka Kiyoshi's magic to maintain its vital signs, it would die in the first second.

A minute passed and although the turtle's breath was weak, it was still alive.

Two minutes passed, and the turtle was not only alive, but its appearance had not changed at all. Time had not left any trace on it, and it seemed to be completely insulated from aging.

Everything seemed to be developing in the direction that Kiyoshi Toosaka expected, but at two minutes and forty-four seconds, the turtle, which had been hanging on for a breath, suddenly died.

Kiyoshi Toosaka immediately stopped accelerating time, but he did not stop supplying his own magic power. Given a turtle's intelligence, it would not be possible for him to "feel too bored and commit suicide."

After examining the turtle's dead body, Tousaka Kiyoshi said thoughtfully, "Sure enough, the fruit produced by the tree is completely different from the original. The only possible reason for this situation is that the fruit produced by the Youth Apple Tree cannot make the turtle immortal. In other words, this turtle has reached the limit of its lifespan and died of old age."

After hearing Tosaka Kiyoshi's speculation, Athena smiled and said, "That means the saplings I smashed before are not as valuable as you described, right?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi stepped back repeatedly: "Calm down! You must calm down! Impulse is the devil! I don't know anything about this kind of thing! If I must say it, I am also a victim!"

Athena exuded a cold and dark aura, and said with a broken expression: "You actually relied on some useless apples to make me serve you for so long, washing your clothes and cooking for you, rubbing your shoulders and back, and even washing your face and feet! In the past year or so, you even used me as a pillow! You are really brave!"

Tosaka Kiyoshi complained in a low voice: "I was thinking of asking you to give me a bath, but then I thought about it and decided not to..."

Athena exuded a terrifying aura and approached Tosaka Kiyoshi step by step: "What did you say? Do you want to die? Very good, I will grant you your wish!"

Toosaka Kiyoshi rolled his eyes and said quickly: "You are totally wrong if you say these apples are useless! Look at this turtle!"

Athena still stared at Tousaka Kiyoshi: "Don't try to change the subject. There's nothing to see in a dead turtle!"

"Just now, in a time acceleration of 164 million times, this turtle survived for 104 seconds, which is our time. But to the turtle, it lived for years!"

"What does this mean? The lifespan of this species of turtle is between 120 and 150 years."

"But the turtle's appearance has not changed at all in these 104 years! This is obviously the effect of the apple! In other words, even if the apple cannot make people immortal, it can make people stay young forever! This is its value!"

“Perhaps eternal youth has no appeal to gods, but it is a huge temptation to humans!”

"Women want to be forever young and beautiful, and men want their wives to be forever fair-skinned and beautiful."

"Although this is not as tempting as immortality, can you say it is useless? You smashed the apple tree, shouldn't you compensate me?"

Athena stared at Toosaka Kiyoshi intently, and only closed her eyes after a long while, then retracted the dark aura around her.

When she opened her eyes again, Athena had returned to her former self.

"In that case, I will let you do whatever you want for the past five years. Consider this as your compensation. I am leaving now."

Tousaka Kiyoshi immediately said, "That won't work! We have already signed a contract. You have to serve me for 1,500 years!"

"The premise of the contract was that the Apple of Youth could really make people immortal. Now the value of the apple has greatly decreased, so the contract is invalid."

Toosaka Kiyoya knew that after this incident, the contract could no longer bind Athena, so he brought up another matter.

"Aren't you still looking for the Gorgon Stone? I can help you. As long as you continue to be my pillow, I will help you find the Gorgon Stone."

It would have been better if Tousaka Kiyoshi hadn't said anything. As soon as she mentioned this, Athena's eyes immediately turned cold and said, "In the five years I've been here, you've never shown any willingness to help me find the Gorgon Stone."

"I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person... No, now I seriously want to help you find the Gorgon Stone! You must trust me!"

"I can find the Gorgon Stone on my own without your help."

"Really? Then why were you beaten into a loli form by Metis the first time you met?" Toosaka Kiyoshi subconsciously revealed the secret.

Athena was speechless for a moment, and turned her head and said, "You don't need to take care of my affairs!"

After saying that, Athena flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked at Athena who left decisively and also let out a long sigh.

If Athena wanted to search for the Gorgon Stone alone, she would definitely be strongly opposed by the Greek gods.

She couldn't even defeat Metis. If she hadn't had his help, she would have died. How could she fight against all the Greek gods now?

He and Athena had been together for so many years, and they had even slept in the same bed for more than a year.

Although he had the intention of teasing Athena at the beginning, over time, the initial mentality had long disappeared. Now that Athena chose to face the danger alone, he was naturally very worried.

Forget it, there is no need to stay here now, let’s go to Greece.

Toosaka Kiyoshi lowered his head to look at the sky, and was about to talk to Skadi about going to Greece, when he noticed that Skadi was avoiding looking at him, as if she was afraid of something.

Toosaka Kiyoshi joked, "What's wrong, Ni? Seeing me and Nana together, aren't you jealous? Now that Nana has left, you should be happy."

Skadi lowered her head quickly, like a frightened little rabbit, and shook her head vigorously, saying, "Yes, I'm sorry! It was because I provided the wrong information that made Nana leave in anger. Please punish me, Master Toosaka."

Toosaka Kiyoshi was a little speechless. He reached out his hand and stroked the top of Skadi's head while saying, "Have you been a maid for too long? You completely regard yourself as my servant. You are so different now than when we first met."

Skadi shook her head. "Well, Master Toosaka, you have saved my life twice, so it is my duty to be your servant. Now, because of the information I provided as a servant, Nana, who Master Toosaka values ​​very much, has left. Master Toosaka deserves to punish me no matter how much."

Toosaka Kiyoshi shook his head: "How can you be blamed for that? When you were imprisoned in Asgard, the fruit trees you planted had not yet borne fruit, which means you didn't know the effects of the fruit. Ignorance is not a crime. And how can you tell that I value Nana so much?"

Skadi wondered, "Master Toosaka rests with Nana every day. Although he hasn't said it explicitly yet, he already treats Nana as his wife, right? As a servant, I angered the mistress and left. This is an unforgivable crime. Please punish me."

"Besides my wife, a pillow will also accompany me to rest every day. Nana is just my pillow! Don't make up your own mind."

"Really?" Skadi's eyes were full of doubt.

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you about something like this?"

"But even if a servant loses his master's pillow, he will be punished."

Toosaka Kiyoshi said helplessly: "Do you want to be punished so much? Well, I will punish you. Since you pissed off Nana and made me lose my pillow to sleep with at night, then you can take Nana's place and become my pillow."

"Yes, Skadi is punished..." Skadi, who was about to accept the punishment, was stunned and reacted after a moment.

"Hey hey hey!!! Um, being a cuddling pillow means..."

The girl's face was instantly covered with a blush, and her two index fingers gently touched each other in front of her body.

Toosaka Kiyoshi exclaimed in her heart: This is too cute! Loli is so cute!

Holding back his excitement, Tousaka Kiyoshi replied calmly, "Yes, from now on, you will replace Nana and sleep with me at night."

Skadi suddenly felt as if she was overwhelmed by happiness, and even her consciousness became blurred.

“Hehehe, is this really a punishment? The best reward in the world is probably just this, hehehe…”

When Skadi was giggling happily, Zi's urgent cry for help suddenly came from the photo in the courtyard.

"Help, brother! Your cute little Zi is about to be eaten by a monster!"

Upon hearing that, Kiyoshi Toosaka immediately moved closer to the photo, and Skadi also woke up from her silly smile and followed closely behind Kiyoshi Toosaka.

Kiyoshi Tousaka saw Zi's panicked face in a photo on the desktop.

From the background, he recognized that this was Hong Kong in Pacific Rim, which was ravaged by monsters.

The world in the picture is not the original world of Pacific Rim. Perhaps if the interstitial ability is developed to the highest level, it would be possible to travel through the picture to the original world of the picture, but Zi obviously cannot do that now.
