Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

He raised the bamboo stick and bit it hard, stuffing the few remaining pieces of meat into his mouth in one breath.

Zhe Li chewed and savored the burning flavor that filled his cheeks, but he recalled the end of his first life: the burnt aroma lingering at the tip of his nose was the mark imprinted on the picture, followed by the thick smoke that took away his breath.

"My 'first life' ended in fire."

"…………Eh?"

The footsteps stopped.

The girl stared blankly at the man's back. He took an extra step before turning back to look at her who had stopped abruptly.

"Is it really that surprising? It's not surprising that a firefighter died in a fire."

"Eh. Ah, no..."

You only said that you came from a different world, but you didn't say that you were resurrected from the dead?

"Let's go quickly, or we won't have a good seat later... huh?"

Zhe Li beckoned Su Shi to follow him, and the next moment Su Shi directly shook his hand. He turned his head to look at Su Shi, but saw that the girl was staring at him straight, without saying a word.

The warmth from his palm was like Su Shi reminding him of his existence.

The man couldn't help but smile: "It's all in the past, don't worry about it."

Now, although Baodeng Zheli cannot claim to be invincible, his physical strength and regenerative ability have reached a monstrous level. As long as he does not seek death, it is hard to imagine what natural or man-made disasters can kill him.

After hearing this, Su Shi's eyes softened a little, but his hands clenched even tighter.

Zhe Li felt a little helpless, but he stopped trying to break free. Instead, he held the girl's soft hand and slowed down his pace to walk side by side with her. He suddenly remembered the night when he first walked with Su Shi.

"By the way, do you remember the day when I first visited your house?"

"Of course." I will never forget it.

"That day, I had to send you upstairs no matter what. Actually, there was a reason behind it."

"Because you fell in love with me at first sight?"

"Have you been a little too narcissistic lately?"

"You're so long-winded. Just say 'yes' at a time like this." The girl pouted and snorted. Although she knew the man next to her wouldn't give a direct answer, even she felt a little hurt by such a blunt question.

Su Shi pursed her lips and paused before asking, "So? What's the reason?"

"That's the kind of apartment building where I got killed."

"..."

"After getting the residents onto the ladder, the collapsed guardrail pushed the ladder away, and I fell down to the first floor. In the end, I didn't have time to escape and was engulfed by the flames." Zhe Li couldn't help but sneer at this. "I usually exercise well, so I was fine after this fall. But I fell into the fire and was buried and roasted."

"So, I'm really worried. Even if it's just groundless worry, I don't want to experience the feeling of helplessness again."

The girl's grip tightened, as if begging him to stop.

Zhe Li sensed the will of the people around him, smiled, and continued, "I was lucky. I passed out from lack of oxygen before I was actually roasted. Then, I regained a 'second life' in my dream - as if to make up for not being able to leave the fire in time. The moment I opened my eyes in the second world, I was greeted by a heavy rain."

“…You know the rest of the story.”

Su Shi thought about it and suddenly realized: "Is it what I said to Xiaoxiang before?"

"Yes. That's true too. But I didn't tell you that that time was actually my 'second life'."

Why did he, born a mortal, become so arrogant after arriving in another world? ——He sacrificed his life to save others, and then returned from the dead. Isn't this the chosen one in heroic legends?

It was not until later that he understood that even if the life he had survived was rekindled countless times, it was just luck.

“…I’m really, really lucky.”

He was lucky to live a second life, lucky to meet good teachers and friends, and lucky to get a third chance to restart his life, and it might even be eternal life, which gave him plenty of time to practice everything he learned.

“I always meet the best people, so I never really go astray.”

"Let me get to know you in the best possible way."

“——————.”

boom.

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

The backward-flying meteors draw flaming flowers in the night sky, one by one, lightly covering every brick and tile on the ground.

And a certain man's smile is like stars blooming in fireworks.

“…Ah, fireworks.”

He raised his head.

In the gentle breeze, we finally ushered in the tail of summer.

Chapter 85 of the Box: Autumn Frost and Falling Maple Leaves, Snow Clears and Meets the Plum Tree: Chapter : Birth Point

"boom----!!"

"Wow! What's that noise!?"

The loud noise and vibration made Nagasaki Suyo suddenly push open the door.

I just walked into the back room for a few minutes, and there was a war outside?

She was still nervous before pushing the door open, but when she looked closely, she looked helpless with a frown on her face.

"Wow, wow."

In the center of Su Shi's sight, Hiiragi Chinana was staring blankly at Houden Oreri.

In other words, it was a ball of fire that Baodeng Zheli was in just a second.

To be more precise, it was Baodeng Zheli whose head turned into a ball of fire.

He raised his hand and touched his fiery head, pondered for a moment, and gave a thumbs-up to Su Shi who had just stuck his head out.

……

Nascita is closed today, but we all agreed to attend the festival today.

Unlike yesterday, today they just went there to have fun.

Considering that Inazuma was still somewhat dangerous, the group discussed it in the LINE group and decided to ask Ori to lead them out. Of course, even if they planned to sneak into Inazuma Castle, they would have to use the "door" at Nascita, so Ori wouldn't let them go out on their own.

Even though a small amount of genetic factors/body tissues were secretly left in the girls in the band, which could detect their location and even physical condition in real time so that they could arrive in time when they encountered danger, the "door" was superior to the Blood Star people. As long as they passed through the door, the Blood Star Superman's unreasonable remote sensing ability would completely lose its effectiveness.

In order to ensure his own safety, Zhe Li had to stay in the same world as them.

Anyway, the girls agreed to meet at the cafe before dusk, and Su Shi naturally arrived as early as after noon.

The next person to visit Nascita was China Hiiragi.

Chinana doesn't have a mobile phone, and it's impossible for her to join CRYCHIC's LINE group. Her purpose of coming here is naturally different from Su Shi's.

"Teacher! Please teach me how to use the 'Eye of God'!"

So they moved the tables and chairs around and made some space in the store.

Why don't we go to the Hiiragi family's yard like we did when we practiced dancing before?

When Su Shi asked this, Zhe Li just smiled and didn't explain anything.

——Bao Deng Zheli is only the store manager, but in fact, he still doesn’t know every part of this store.

For example, the door, and a question he had recently become curious about: Does the interior of this store have some unique properties?

The opportunity to raise questions was the day when Fengyuan Manye stepped into the store for the first time.

By now, Zhe Li knew that Manye possessed the "Eye of God," a power capable of manipulating the element of wind. This perfectly explained Manye's sudden attack upon him in the wind. He could control the wind, blend into it, and even, according to Manye, read the weather and even the emotions of the people before him.

Such a warrior with a deep connection to "wind" seemed to have lost the favor of the wind all of a sudden when he stepped into Nascita on the first day, and turned back into an ordinary young man.

If it had always been like this, Zhe Li should have noticed it long ago, but for some reason this only happened when they first met.

Later, when Manye visits Nascita again, the wind from Inazuma will follow him into the door, bringing a foreign atmosphere to the small shop filled with the rich aroma of coffee beans.

Of course, if it’s just Manye, then it’s nothing.

I didn't feel any "wind" when we first met, perhaps it was just because Manye was more reserved and restrained at that time, and was far from being a topic worthy of research.

What really made Zhe Li pay attention to this phenomenon was the last time when Miss Qianzhi brought Qi Liangliang to see him.

If Kirara's transformation technique is also considered a kind of "ability", then did she also lose or become unable to use her "ability" for some reason when she first visited Nascita?

She had "aftereffects" while Manye did not. What was the decisive difference between the two?

To this end, Zhe Li decided to do a simple experiment.

The Flame-Headed Man pinched his chin and said, "As expected."

"Teacher! Are you okay...?" China was so scared that she didn't dare to move.

"It's okay. This little explosion can't hurt me."

Even extensive burns are simply a matter of the Blood Star Slime dividing some of its mass beneath its skin to create a new mimic. Forget about Blood Star Superman; even ordinary slimes, as long as they don't consume a significant amount of their body mass when attacked, are virtually unscathed. They even possess significant resistance to attacks of certain attributes...

What's more, the explosion caused by China this time was literally "harmless" to him.

There was clearly an explosion, and the chair next to me was blown away, but no one was hurt at all.

Such an unreasonable phenomenon, in Zheli's view, is extremely nostalgic.

————Isn’t this just a “game”?

Just like the "birth point" in the game, it has the nature of a "safe area".

Generally speaking, most games should simply disable offensive skills, but in his shop, it seemed like they simply gave people an invincibility shield. Although it wasn't clear whether this invincibility shield only affected him, as the store manager, it gave him a bit more confidence: at least, Nascita could truly serve as a fortress against invasions from another world.

Seeing that Qiannai was still nervous, Zheli had no choice but to reset the skin on her body and extinguish the fire.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Teacher, I was able to withstand it because I'm extremely strong. Xiao Qianna, please don't do this to others casually."

Fortunately, there was an invincible shield in the store. If Zhe Li had not changed his skin to fire-proof material when he left the store, he would not have died if he encountered such a huge explosion, but he would definitely have turned into a charred corpse face on the spot.

It’s not good to scare the children!

Chinana shook her little head like a bell: "It won't work!!"

Even though she became the holder of the "Eye of God" overnight, Xiao Qianna still didn't feel any sense of reality.

Rather, she didn't even dare to use this God-given magical organ.

Last night, before going to sleep, she even tossed and turned in bed, staring at the Eye of God beside the bed, fearing that it would burn her small bedroom to ashes in her sleep. Until this afternoon, after much deliberation, she finally ran to Nascita with the red ball in her arms to find her dear teacher.

It's definitely not because nascita seems less flammable...

"Really."

Seeing Zheli transformed into a flame-headed man, Su Shi was naturally startled at first. However, she had seen Zheli in his slime form before, and knew that this level of injury wouldn't affect him, so she felt a little relieved. Then, through the flames, she noticed that Zheli looked fine, even a little unhappy. Her remaining worry turned to helplessness.

He just said yesterday that he died in a fire, but today he started playing with fire.

I don’t know whether to say that he is broad-minded or heartless?

"The experiment is complete. Hmm, it seems better to practice in a more spacious area."

Zhe Li is immune to fire damage, but the tables and chairs in his house may not be immune to fire damage.

For Nascita's sake, I'd better use Flame Fist outside.

Jingle Bell--

Zhe Li was about to put the tables and chairs back in place when the shop doorbell rang during closing time.

"Mr. Manager, good afternoon... Oops, what's going on in the store?"

As soon as Fengyuan Manye pushed open the door, he looked at the scene in the store with confusion.

Chapter 86: How to pronounce "刀叉" (blade)

Baodeng Zheli first tidied up the tables and chairs before briefly explaining the whole story to Fengyuan Manye.

"I see. It's the practice of God's Eye." Manye looked at Hiiragi China.

The Eye of God is an "external magical organ". Most people only remember the "external" part, but they are still a God-given "organ": Fengyuan Manye still remembers the first day he got the Eye of God, and he was also not used to the feeling of having an extra thing on his body.

It's like the wonderful feeling of having an extra hand, or an extra finger.
