I enlightened the heroine of the second dimension in New Tokyo

2B glanced at her.

A2 explained: "It's a bit bitter."

"……Yeah."

2B said coldly, "Don't forget, we are going to hunt demons today."

"rest assured."

A2 said something, and then said, "I'll go take a shower."

She nodded to Zhao Yang and left.

Only Zhao Yang and 2B were left in the kitchen.

Zhao Yang quickly finished his food, took the plate to the sink, and apologized, "Sorry, I wasted some time."

"……fine."

2B didn't say anything, but just took the plate calmly.

But when Zhao Yang's fingers touched her hand, she suddenly pulled her hand back quickly and took half a step back.

Zhao Yang: “?”

Are you serious about taking a half step back?

2B put the dishes into the sink silently without any reaction.

"2B, I think we might have some misunderstanding?"

Seeing that she was showing signs of wavering, Zhao Yang didn't rush to leave and decided to have some fun.

...His personality hasn't changed much since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, he was forced to play mixed doubles by his parents just because he watched Nanoha and Elisa having fun.

2B replied, "I don't think there is any misunderstanding."

Zhao Yang explained: "I am just teaching A2 about human emotions, I am not doing anything bad."

"I know it was A2 who took the initiative."

2B finally looked at him. "But you're also an accomplice."

"Although I don't know much about humans. But based on my experience when I was out, ordinary humans would not act as recklessly as you do."

She lowered her head again and washed the dishes.

"A2 was the first to do something stupid. I don't know why she was so aggressive."

When Zhao Yang said this, he couldn't help but express the doubts he had for the past few days.

A2's actions can perhaps be explained by the fact that she is an artificial being and does not have human ethics and morals.

But Zhao Yang always felt that she had an unusual amount of trust in him and was not wary of him at all.

"That's because, well..."

2B hesitated to speak.

"So you know why?"

Zhao Yang frowned and asked tentatively:

"Is it because of my dad? I heard from A2 that she took care of my dad for a while when he was dying, and they seemed to talk a lot at that time?"

2B didn't want to answer at first, but Zhao Yang kept staring at her.

After several minutes, he still didn't look away, so she could only answer: "...It has something to do with it, but it's not the main reason."

"I probably understand."

Zhao Yang crossed his arms and said, "I have been with you for quite a long time, and I can see that you don't care about many things, but there is one thing that you keep super secret.

———There is only one truth. The reason why A2 opened up to me so easily is because of your Master. "

"..."

2B's expression didn't change, but she didn't deny it in time, letting Zhao Yang know her answer.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Zhao Yang nodded.

Then he sighed and said, "So the question is back to the original starting point. Who are you Masters?"

"That depends on whether the Master is willing to tell you."

A2's voice came from the door.

Zhao Yang didn't feel embarrassed at all for being caught talking behind someone's back. He smiled and said hello: "You're back?"

A2 nodded, then said, "Let's go, 2B. How long are you going to wash the same dishes?"

2B looked down and saw that it was indeed the case.

…I’ve been washing the same dish all the time.

She was silent for a few seconds, wiped the plate dry, put it back in place, and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Yang asked: "Why, are you angry?"

“It’s useless!”

2B emphasized the words.

"Oh, so you're shy. How cute."

Zhao Yang suddenly realized.

"!"

2B stared at him, then walked away quickly.

"A2, you said you had no feelings for each other, but you just hid it more deeply."

Zhao Yang was happy.

A2 shook his head. "2B is different from me. She's a newer model, more advanced, and more emotionally sensitive."

"I don't think you are any different."

"Because we are not in perfect form yet, the gap is not that big."

"Complete form?"

“It’s just a technical problem.”

After A2 finished answering, he and 2B left the Space-Time Garden together.

After they left the secret realm, Zhao Yang went to the pavilion to rest alone:

"It's not a complete form..."

He rested his elbows on the table and looked at the scenery with his chin in his hand.

A2's words are easy to understand.

Just because they are now B-level doesn't mean they were B-level before.

Even if they are reawakened, it doesn't mean they are intact.

...Just like this shabby space-time garden.

Of course, even if Zhao Yang understood the truth, it would be of no use.

Because he doesn't understand any technology at all.

Zhao Yang thought to himself, "But my ability can be used on them... Does this mean that they also have souls?"

However, he had no plans to use his abilities on them for the time being.

His abilities need to be restored by killing monsters, and each time he uses them, more energy is required than the last time.

Considering that the energy demand in the later stages may be very high, he cannot use his abilities too casually and should plan the talents he needs.

The three people who have been enlightened by him so far, Rem, Fate and Nanoha are all combat-types.

It’s about time to join the logistics type.

This kind of talent is quite rare.

Zhao Yang recalled the people who could be enlightened. Ram, Feng Mingyi, A2, 2B, Shinomiya Ayase, Tachibana Hibiki and others were obviously all combat types.

Lux is not a combat type, she seems to be a command type.

Only the sisters Yasha and Neo, based on what we saw in the memory fragments, are definitely logistical types.

Among these two people, Zhao Yang saw that Neo's memory was only about making medicine, which was far inferior to Yasha.

Therefore, his next goal remains unchanged.

The goal is set, and all that remains is to continue to use A2 and 2B's monster heads to restore your abilities.

He felt a little embarrassed to get something for free like this, and wondered if he should use his abilities on them in return...

As Zhao Yang was thinking about this and that, time soon came to dusk.

A2 and 2B came back with a lot of demons.

Zhao Yang greeted them enthusiastically and went with them to the power reactor to kill the monsters.

The ability is recovering smoothly...

Time flies, and it’s almost mid-March.

Zhao Yang had a very comfortable life in the Space-Time Garden.

After resting for such a long time, his magic core has almost recovered, and it is almost time to consider returning.

That day, A2 and 2B went out early in the morning to kill monsters, while Zhao Yang sat in the stone pavilion, waiting for a free meal while thinking about when he would return.

"Huh... Actually, it's okay to stay a little longer, right?"

He propped his chin up, his mind full of thoughts, filled with A2's very cooperative actions.

It's so cool.

It’s actually quite nice to spend more time in the Space-Time Garden.

But we can't let Fate and the others worry too much. They must be very anxious after being away for so long...

Zhao Yang scratched his head in annoyance but ultimately couldn't make a decision, so he drew his sword and started practicing, using exercise to numb himself.

Most of the day passed like this.

198 Master

Zhao Yang's physical condition recovered well. After practicing sword for so long, he only felt slightly uncomfortable.

When they were about to return from A2, he put away his sword and rested, ready to help kill the monsters later.

He looked around, then jumped off the Space-Time Garden, came to the big tree on the hillside in front, and lay down in the shade to rest.

There are no living creatures in this secret place, so it’s nice to lie on the grass without worrying about being attacked by insects.

Zhao Yang looked at the sunlight filtering through the leaves and felt that everything in this secret place was very real, even the trees and grass looked real.

But they can only exist in the secret realm and cannot be taken out.

This is what is called the echo of the world.

In this secret realm, only the Space-Time Garden really exists.

Zhao Yang watched the sun gradually set, and then the moon rose, turning the sky dim yellow.

The time and space garden dawns and dusk at 6 o'clock every day.

Both A2 and 2B will return at dusk.

Today was no exception, they returned with more demons than ever before.

Zhao Yang stood up and walked over, saying hello:

"There are a lot more demons today."

"Half of it is for the Master's research."
