A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

She gently wrapped her arms around his waist and couldn't help but rub her cheek against his chest.

The clothes were a little cold, but they gave her a sense of security.

Yukino Yukinoshita was not sure whether the experiences of Akita Shin, Iwaida Jin, and Ninja were the same as hers.

It seemed as if from the moment she was born, she had lived for more than ten years in that world created by the "colorful butterflies".

It is exactly the same as the life trajectory in the previous world.

Or in other words...exactly the same.

To the point that she couldn't quite tell whether she had just traveled to this world or had arrived a few months ago.

I noticed that her breathing gradually became even, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep in my arms.

Akita really thought about it and blocked out the sounds around him.

By the time we got back to the safe zone, an hour had passed.

"It's already the fourth day since we left Kyoto?"

Hearing what Cheng Zhiyuanji said, Akita Makoto frowned slightly.

"Yes, I just asked Iwai and the other two. Akita-kun, the time you will have to complete the cleanup mission is two days."

"Obviously, that ghost-like world is not synchronized with the real time."

Cheng Zhiyuansi said with a frown.

Of course Akita Shin knew what these words meant.

Even in the context of a world with extraordinary powers, "time" and "space" are forces that are difficult for humans to touch.

Even if you can use a formation to move a person to a location tens or hundreds of meters away, it is the same as the principle of space-related supernatural objects, and it all relies on strange power.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to suggest: "Let's check it in detail."

"Then your...subordinates."

Cheng Zhiyuanji looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who was sleeping in his arms, and changed his words.

"I'll wake her up later." Akita smiled.

Cheng Zhiyuansi nodded and said nothing more. He turned around and ordered his subordinates who were participating in the support mission to disband.

Then he took Iwaida Jin, the ninja, and Akita Shin to a research institute in the outer city.

Since it is an "inspection", it is inevitable to use the help of mechanical instruments.

Cheng Zhiyuansi thought to himself that if he couldn't find anything, he would have to ask the person from the Kujo family to take a look.

This is not an exaggeration, but Akita Makoto has already demonstrated his value that deserves the attention of the security team.

In a year and a few months, he rose from an ordinary person to an A-level spiritualist...

This appalling talent is unprecedented, not only in the security team, but even in the entire Neon.

You have to know that none of the legendary figures in the early days of the Extraordinary Era were so exaggerated.

Soon, the group arrived at the research institute.

The person in charge was a scholar in his sixties. When he learned the purpose of their visit, he felt as if he had seen some excellent research material.

As a result, it was nearly 11 o'clock in the evening before Akita Shin and his three companions finished all the tests.

Fortunately, the results are good.

"The power remaining in you is an unknown energy. It cannot be determined in a short time."

"According to the data, this energy is slowly weakening, and the time it takes to completely dissipate will vary depending on the degree of impact."

"You are the lightest."

The person in charge looked at Akita Shin, then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, and said, "She was affected the most. As for the other two, they were almost the same."

"In short, in order to prevent unforeseen consequences, it is best not to use your power too frequently in the near future."

"..."

Listening to the professional scholars' words, Akita seemed to be thinking deeply.

It seems that his previous guess was almost right.

This is a good thing, as the accuracy of the "Rainbow Butterfly" data submitted to the headquarters has been confirmed.

Next, the scholars spent some more time, and after extracting a trace of unknown abilities from the four people, they could not wait to order them to expel.

"Snapped--"

The door of the research institute closed heavily, causing Cheng Zhiyuansi's face to twitch.

However, he also knew that most of these scholars were of this type of personality, and had no interest in anything other than "research" and "truth."

"Alright, Akita-kun, your cleanup mission this time is considered complete."

"Considering the suggestions given by the scholars and your duties, the headquarters will arrange for suitable candidates to temporarily take over."

"Come back for another test in five days. If there are no problems, you can return to your respective posts."

Cheng Zhiyuansi's position was "chief instructor", and his main responsibility was to manage all instructors.

However, he was in charge of the support mission for this trip, and the arrangements he made could be understood to have been authorized by Hayai Takashi.

"I have no opinion."

Akita Makoto finished speaking with a calm expression.

This caused Cheng Zhiyuanji and Yukinoshita Yukino to complain in their hearts - of course you (real adult) can't have any objection.

The two even suspected that if Iwaida Jin and the ninja hadn't been there, he would have asked for a few more days of vacation.

After talking for a while, they each went back home.

On the way home.

"Yukino."

"Hi."

"are you hungry?"

"Sir, didn't you already have your meal while you were doing the examination at the institute?"

"I am full." Akita Makoto said stubbornly.

Yukinoshita Yukino just thought about it for a moment and then gave him a coquettish look.

A few red lines soon appeared on her cheeks, but she still let out a soft "hmm".

Seeing her like this, Akita couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Still so easily shy.

When he got home, Akita was somewhat surprised to find that most of the women in the house had not yet gone to bed.

"You are such a great man."

The first one to come up was Nakano Miku. She hugged Akita Shin's waist tightly, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

Well... that's not quite right.

After all, her face was buried deep in Akita Makoto's arms, and no matter from which angle you looked at it, you couldn't see what her expression was.

Seeing this, the maid also came over.

Two, three, five...

Soon, Akita Makoto was surrounded by the women who had been worried about him for days.

"Okay, okay, it's late now, you all should go back and get some rest."

"My Lord, have you eaten yet?"

"Would you like to take a bath?"

"..."

Looking at the man who seemed somewhat helpless but seemed to be enjoying it,

Yukinoshita Yukino just smiled slightly.

She withdrew her gaze and walked to Snow Mother's side.

"Mother, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Yukino, you and Makoto were gone for a few days, so of course mom would be worried."

Perhaps because they have been together for some time, Xue's mother has changed her way of calling Akita Zhen from his surname to his given name.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She first asked where Yukinoshita Haruno was, and after learning that there had been some chaos in Kyoto recently and she had been working overtime in the branch office, she briefly talked about her experiences over the past few days.

In order to avoid worrying her mother, Yukinoshita Yukino kept her stories brief.

And it's late now...

An hour later.

Leaving the bathroom in her bathrobe, Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

The conditions in the wild are limited, and the special and strange things that need to be cleaned up are far more than imagined, so there is naturally no condition to rest properly.

When she returned to the bedroom, she found that Nakano Miku was already asleep.

"fair enough."

Pursing her lips, she walked lightly to the closet.

Since she was going to sleep with him, and it wasn't her first time, she was planning to get a set of loose pajamas so that...

Just as she thought of this, Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze inadvertently glanced at the corner of the closet.

It was the school uniform that I hadn't worn for a long time.

She stared blankly for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking about, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

the other side.

Sitting at the desk, Akita really had a headache.

He originally planned to organize the information about the strange things he had encountered before before Yukinoshita Yukino came over.

But he had hardly any rest in the past few days, so his brain was now on strike, urging him to rest quickly.

This state is not suitable for work.

After finding an excuse to be lazy, Akita put down his pen with a clear conscience.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.

"You are such a great man."

After taking a quick look, Akita was stunned.

The white shirt, a red student bow tie on the chest, and the blue and white striped pleated skirt make her look very refreshing and clean.

The most important thing is that it is worn by the right person.

No matter how Akita Makoto looks at it, he thinks that the current Yukinoshita Yukino is perfect.

Except... an overly pity heart.

Noticing his gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino gently stroked the hair beside her ear and said in a cold tone:

"You seem to be thinking of something very disrespectful, my Lord."

At this moment, it seems like we have returned to a few months ago.

That face that is so cute that it's unfair reveals a cold feeling that makes people stop in their tracks.

However, the slight blush on her face betrayed her.

Akita Makoto curled his lips: "Absolutely not, and Yukino, didn't you notice?"

"What?" Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated to respond.

"Yukino, you seem to have grown again."
