I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Chapter 71 Sakura's arrival, accompanied by... Ilya?

"Huh? Are we going back already?"

Hai Meng was caught off guard as she reverted to her previous appearance, wearing a slip dress.

"Seriously, why so sudden this time!"

Rin Tohsaka complained, but quickly put away the remaining gems.

"Everyone, see you later."

Mei nodded to everyone.

In the distant bamboo forest, several figures dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniforms were flying past at high speed. One of them, a petite figure, had a hairstyle exactly like Kanae's.

"elder sister!"

The heart-wrenching cries of Shinobu Kocho could be faintly heard.

But Gu Ye and the others could no longer hear clearly.

The instant the countdown reached zero, their bodies turned into white light once more and vanished from the world without a trace, leaving only the healed Kanae and the Upper Moon demon on the ground, barely alive and unable to comprehend what had just happened.

As the white light faded, Gu Ye and Kitagawa Kaimu stood once again in the center of the living room.

One second she was on a battlefield in another world, a battlefield of blood and ice, and the next she was back in a familiar and peaceful room. The strong sense of separation made Hai Meng feel dazed for a moment.

She was still wearing that thin silk nightgown, and there was even a hint of coolness about her.

Almost simultaneously, a message from Kanae Kocho popped up on the chat interface in their minds.

[Flower Pillar]: Everyone, thank you so much. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have... Kanae will never forget this kindness.

Her words were filled with sincere gratitude, and one can imagine that she was lying on her hospital bed at the Butterfly House, trying her best to express her feelings.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: No need to be so polite, it was nothing. Besides, we're comrades, aren't we?

【Marin】: Yeah, yeah! I'm so glad you're alright, Ms. Kanae! That white-haired bastard, next time I see him, I'll electrocute him into a charcoal!

Kitagawa Kaimu waved her little fist and angrily typed out the words, her excitement from the battle still lingering.

【Herrscher of Food】: Speaking of which, Haimeng-chan's transformation just now really startled me.

Mei's message was tinged with surprise.

[Herrscher of Food]: Although I had heard you mention it before, seeing it with my own eyes, it really is exactly the same as the one inside my body...

Before Mei could finish speaking, her tone suddenly changed.

That gentle and kind feeling vanished without a trace, replaced by a domineering and oppressive queenly aura.

[Herrscher of Food]: Hmph, exactly the same? Don't be ridiculous. That empty pretense is nothing but a despicable imitator. It doesn't even have a tenth of my power or authority. It's infuriating to look at.

The chat group fell silent for a few seconds.

Kitagawa Kaimu's cheeks felt hot. Oh no, it's that super queen-like personality kicking in! She seems really angry!

【Marin】: Um, um... I'm so sorry! I just thought the Queen of Thunder was super cool, so...

【Herrscher of Food】: Shut up, who gave you permission to call me that?

The Queen's tone remained harsh, but then Mei's gentle voice followed, as if softly comforting her in her ear.

[Herrscher of Food]: Okay, okay, don't be so fierce. Hai Meng-chan imitates you precisely because she thinks you are very powerful and admires you from the bottom of her heart, right? Look, she didn't imitate anyone else, she only imitated you.

These words clearly struck a chord with the Queen.

She remained silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was still arrogant, but noticeably softer.

[Herrscher of the Rising Sun]: Hmph... at least you have some sense, you imitator. Since you admire me so much, I'll be merciful and let you off this time. If you're going to imitate me again, show me some real skills, and don't embarrass me, the Herrscher of Thunder.

"call--"

Kitagawa Kaimu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had just escaped death.

Just then, the Sword Saintess, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Her words carried an unprecedented reverence.

【Sword Saintess】: Your strength has allowed me to witness miracles once again. Especially you, Weather Forecaster, you not only possess the power of thunder and lightning, but also the ability to foresee the future, saving lives from imminent danger.

Having experienced this incredible time-travel journey, she no longer had the slightest doubt about the existence of this chat group or Gu Ye's prophetic abilities.

Being able to send warnings across the world and summon comrades to the battlefield is something no ordinary person can do.

He... must be the agent of the supreme god on earth.

【Sword Saintess】: Weather Forecaster, may I...may I also beg for your guidance? Please tell me, where will my future lead?

Her fingers trembled slightly with nervousness as she typed those words.

She both longed to know the answer and was afraid to hear it.

In the chat group, everyone held their breath.

Everyone could feel the sincerity and unease in the Sword Saintess's words.

Gu Ye's reply was quick, and as always, concise and to the point, devoid of any emotional coloring.

[Weather Forecast]: During a mission, you will be ambushed and knocked unconscious by goblins in a monster's lair. They will then capture you and take you back to their lair.

[Weather Forecast]: There, you will suffer three consecutive days of defilement, abuse, and ravaging; your eyes will be burned by them with red-hot torches.

These few lines of text were like ice water, instantly extinguishing the previously relaxed atmosphere in the group.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: What?! Goblins? Those lowly monsters? Are you kidding me!

【Marin】: This can't be real! How could this happen! Miss Saintess is such a good person, why would she...

[Flower Column]: This...this is too cruel...

The girls in the group all gasped in disbelief.

They knew exactly what goblins were, and words like "defile" and "ravage" made them imagine that hellish scene.

[Sword Saintess]: No...this is impossible! I...how could I...

The Sword Saintess froze, feeling as if all the blood in her body had solidified.

She could not accept that, as an emissary of the supreme god and a gold-level adventurer, her future would be so wretched and humiliating.

【Sword Maiden】: I will never accept such a future! I must change it!

( Thousands of Xun )/㈠四⑨○㈢柒⑨汃

Just as she was feeling agitated and almost overwhelmed by fear, Gu Ye's next message appeared.

[Weather Forecast]: However, you have the blessing of the Supreme God.

[Weather Forecast]: Your body is protected by the gods. No one can defile you unless you choose to.

[Weather Forecast]: However, physical torture is unavoidable. Furthermore, you will be forced to watch them torment other captured girls.

These words were like a ray of light, cleaving through the deep darkness in the Sword Saintess's heart.

She unconsciously touched her body, remembering the divine protection that had accompanied her birth but which she had never truly experienced.

Divine protection... Is this what it means?

Although the body will experience pain...

[Sword Saintess]: I understand... I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Weather Forecaster!

Her tone regained its firmness.

As long as her core dignity can be preserved, she has the confidence to face and change all hardships!

【Sword Saintess】: I will be extremely careful when carrying out missions in the future, and I will never let that kind of situation happen!

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: Wait, it's not just about being careful, is it? Since we know we might be ambushed, we need to have corresponding countermeasures. Saintess, where exactly is that monster's lair you mentioned? When is the mission?

Rin Tohsaka immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Rin Tohsaka's suggestion silenced the chat interface for a few seconds, after which a new line of text appeared next to the Sword Maiden's avatar.

【Sword Saintess】: Thank you for your concern, Lady Rin. However, there are countless requests for monster lairs every month. At my level, I usually don't take on quests to exterminate low-level monsters like goblins.

【Sword Saintess】: So, what you predicted, Weather Forecaster, was most likely an accident that occurred while carrying out other missions. But I still don't understand why, with my strength, I was able to be ambushed by such a lowly creature.

Her words were filled with confusion and resentment, the kind of bewilderment a strong person feels when they doubt their own strength.

[Weather Forecast]: All I can see are those fragments. Believe it or not, it's entirely up to you.

Gu Ye's reply remained indifferent, but he immediately added another sentence.

[Weather Forecast]: However, you are now a member of the group. If that kind of thing really happens, we will all rush to help immediately. You don't need to worry about that.

【Marin】: That's right! We'll all come to save you!

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Hmph, I'll show those disgusting green-skinned scum what the power of my gem is!

[Flower Column]: I will do my best.

The support from the group members was like a warm current, instantly dispelling the last trace of gloom in the Sword Saintess's heart.

[Sword Saintess]: Thank you... thank you everyone. I will definitely believe the Weather Forecaster's prediction and will be extra careful from now on.

Time flies like an arrow, and soon it was the afternoon of the second day. The school bell had just rung when Gu Ye's phone vibrated; it was a message from the chat group.

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: Hey, weather forecast! Sakura and I are all packed and ready to teleport over. Are you ready on your end?

[Weather Forecast]: The room has been cleaned and you can come anytime.

After replying to the message, Gu Ye stood at the door of his house with Kitagawa Kaimu and waited.

A few seconds later, a familiar white light appeared in the courtyard. As the light faded, several figures were revealed.

Leading the group were Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, both wearing Homurahara school uniforms. Behind Sakura stood Medusa, a tall, aloof, purple-haired beauty.

But the problem was that standing next to them was a silver-haired, red-eyed noblewoman dressed in a luxurious white fur coat, a little girl with the same silver hair and red eyes wearing a purple dress, and two maids carrying large and small bags, with serious expressions.

"How is this going?"

Kitagawa Kaimu whispered in Gu Ye's ear.

"Hey! Why did you guys follow us here too!"

Rin Tohsaka had only just noticed the uninvited guests, and she instantly flew into a rage, pointing at Irisviel and Illya, her twin tails trembling with anger.

"Big brother!"

Illya completely ignored the furious Rin Tohsaka. She locked her gaze on Gu Ye at a glance, a naive smile on her face, and like a light little bird, she opened her arms and pounced on Gu Ye.

Gu Ye caught her small body in his hand; it felt light and airy, like a delicate doll.

"Irisviel! How did you guys follow us here?!"

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka was even more furious.

"Oh dear, Ms. Rin, how rude of me."

Irisviel lifted the hem of her skirt, gave an elegant bow, and wore an impeccable, gentle, apologetic smile. "I only used a little bit of my aura to conceal the magic. I didn't expect to fool you so easily."

"you--!"

Rin Tohsaka's face flushed red, and she stomped her foot in frustration.

Damn it! I didn't even notice the distance! Is the Einzbern family's magic really that amazing?!

Irisviel ignored the frustrated Rin Tohsaka and turned to Gu Ye, bowing gracefully once more.

"Mr. Gu Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you formally. I am Irisviel. I'm very sorry for coming uninvited, but my daughter Ilya and I really want to stay in this world. Would you allow us to stay here temporarily?"

She paused, then added, "We won't bother you; we'll buy another property ourselves as our residence."

"Mom, I want to live with my older brother!"

Ilya hugged Gu Ye's neck and said coquettishly.

"This world is more dangerous than you imagine."

Gu Ye looked at Irisviel and calmly said, "Even if you are androids of the Einzbern family and are powerful, you can still be killed at any time here."

"It doesn't matter."
