This is not the date I wanted.

Still as reliable as ever. After confirming that there was no problem, Shidou smiled with relief.

With Mengyue's help, the work that originally took some time was quickly completed. After putting the processed ingredients into the pot one by one, it was time to stop cooking for the time being.

"Huh...it's really a lot harder to defecate after becoming smaller."

As he spoke, Meng Yue rubbed his shoulders and sighed.

"Really? I feel like you've always been at ease, Mengyue."

Shidou said with some surprise. After the elves were turned into children, the actions of the others were more or less childish, but Mengyue, apart from occasionally maliciously acting cute, did not make Shidou feel much change.

"Well, even I am somewhat affected. For example, when I wake up now, I will be groggy for a while because of low blood pressure before I wake up. In the past, my biological clock would wake me up before the alarm went off."

"It's such a cute influence that it doesn't matter."

Shidou said with a chuckle. But to be honest, Mengyue would be confused when she wakes up, and Shidou really wants to see it.

"Rather, compared to the time I reincarnated as an elf and accepted myself as a girl a year ago, I feel like turning into a child is nothing..."

As she spoke, Meng Yue raised her head, looked through the ceiling into the unknown distance, and let out a long sigh.

"Well……"

Looking at Mengyue's experienced eyes, Shidao laughed dryly and didn't know how to answer.

While they were chatting, the pot had already boiled. Shidou quickly turned down the heat and poured a small spoonful of soup to taste.

"Hmm... Just add some salt."

"Shidou, I want to try it too."

Meng Yue pulled on Lashidao's apron and demanded.

"Well, wait a minute."

Shidao filled a small bowl and handed it to Mengyue. However, because the bowl contained freshly cooked hot pot, the surface of the bowl was a little hot, causing Mengyue to pull her hand back as soon as she reached out to touch it, as if she had been electrocuted.

"Will it be hot?"

"Yeah. After becoming a child, I seem to be more sensitive to temperature.

"

Mengyue blew on her fingers and nodded.

"If you shrink it, it will become a cat's tongue (note: afraid of heat)."

Shidou said with some surprise.

"Well, after all, my body has indeed gotten younger."

Meng Yue pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Shidou, please cool the soup down with a 'huh-huh' and then feed it to me."

"Are you a child?"

Shidou said with a helpless look.

"Isn't he a child now?"

Meng Yue asked back with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, he didn't know how to refute. Looking at Mengyue's expectant expression, he finally sighed resignedly, filled a mouthful of soup with a spoon, blew a few times to cool the boiling soup, and handed it to Mengyue's mouth.

"what--"

Meng Yue opened her mouth as wide as she could, took the stew into her mouth, blew out a few puffs of hot air, and then swallowed the food into her stomach. A happy smile spread across her tender face, which made Shidao feel warm in his heart.

"how is the taste?"

"good to eat!"

[How cute...]

Although I really hope that everyone can return to their original appearance as soon as possible, I have to say that Mengyue is also very cute when she looks like a child.

"By the way, Shidou. Let me tell you something."

"what?"

Looking in the direction of Mengyue's finger, Shidao discovered that six familiar little heads had appeared at the kitchen door at some point.

"At dinner time, try your best."

"Yes……"

——————I am the dividing line for entering dinner————————————————

At dinner time, Murasame Reine came to the Gokawa family.

"Yo...really...it looks like there should be no problem..."

Lingyin looked around the table. A group of elves who had turned into lolita, including Tohka, were sitting at the table. They were asking Shidao to cool down the food and feed them. How should I put it... It reminded me of a mother bird feeding her young. At the same time, she suddenly wanted to pick up her phone and call 110.

However, after confirming that no trouble had occurred, Lingyin felt a little relieved.

"I'm sorry, Makoto... I left the burden of taking care of all of them to you..."

"It's okay. I know you're helping me check the reaction of Seven Sins. Did you find Seven Sins?"

In response to Shidou's question, Reine slowly shook her head.

"Not yet... maybe he has hidden his spiritual power... maybe he has disappeared in the critical moment..."

"Yeah……"

Shidou glanced at the transformed people who were eating at the table with great relish. If the Seven Sins were not found, this phenomenon would continue.

"Seven Sins, why do you do such a thing?"

"...That's true. Maybe it was an emergency measure to escape. Or maybe it was a warning to you by weakening the elves' fighting power. Or maybe... it was just to torture you."

"Forehead……"

Although there was no basis for this, Shidou couldn't help but feel that the last one was the correct answer.

I asked Lingyin if she wanted to have a quick meal together, but Lingyin said she had already had dinner before coming here, and after drinking a cup of coffee with a whole sugar cube, she was ready to leave.

"Ah...right. Meng Yue...I have something to tell you."

"What?"

When she stood up and prepared to leave, Lingyin seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around. Mengyue, who was called, raised her head and asked.

"Maria and the others just sent me a message... 'That' has been repaired... and your request has been approved."

"Oh! This is such good news. I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Hearing Lingyin's words, Mengyue showed an excited smile on her face.

PS: I suddenly discovered a small mistake. According to the plot, this chapter should be number 25, but I accidentally copied it from the original book.

01 Burst Link——start!

==============================

After dinner, Mengyue asked Lingyin to look after Tohka and the others, and then took Shidao and teleported to Fraxinus's aerial ship.

"Mengyue, where are we going?"

Shidou asked in confusion.

"Well, you'll know when you get there."

Meng Yue chuckled. Pulling Shidao's hand, she turned left and right through Fraxinus and walked into a room.

The exaggerated space is constructed of neat metal plates. In addition to a large computer screen, there are only a dozen complex machines that remind people of insect "cocoons". It is more like a sleeping capsule than a bed in the infirmary.

"This is……."

Shidao's eyes widened slightly. It was not because he was surprised that Fraxinus had such a sci-fi facility. On the contrary, not long ago, he had been in this room, in a virtual world, and many unforgettable things happened to him.

[Shidao, long time no see. 】

Suddenly, a nun with long silver-white hair appeared on the big screen in the room.

"Juya!"

Seeing Maria appear, Shidou couldn't help but shout in surprise.

"I haven't seen you since I went to look for Mengyue. How are you doing recently? Are you okay?"

[Hi! I've been busy with repair work recently. As Shidao sees, there's no problem. ]

Ju Ya nodded happily, then seemed to have thought of something, turned her head and complained like a bullied wife.

[It's been so long, and I haven't seen Shidao come to visit us once. Anyway, I'm just a supporting actress who will appear in the extra episodes and will be completely forgotten in the main film. ]

"No, that's not the case! A lot of things have happened recently... Anyway, I'm very sorry!"

Looking at Shidou who became flustered because of Maria's mischief, Mengyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Juya, please stop teasing Shidao. He seems to be taking it seriously."

【Hi.】

Nodding gently, Ju Ya sticks out her tongue playfully.

[Don't worry, Shidou. What I did just now was just a joke. It was just a little revenge from my sister for leaving us aside.]

"That's it."

Shidou's mouth twitched slightly. She was crying and complaining like a neglected lover, but the next second she was smiling. Although it is a good thing that Maria's emotions are becoming more and more like humans, the direction of development always makes Shidou feel a little uneasy.

"Juya, where is Junai?"

Seeing the other girl who was not on the screen, Shidou asked curiously.

[My sister is currently working on some minor bugs in the electronic world. You will be able to see her when you enter.]

"Enter? Does that mean the computer world has been repaired?"

"Yes."

Mengyue nodded.

In fact, when Junai destroyed the computer world by self-destruction, Mengyue felt it was a pity. After all, a virtual world that can be completely infiltrated and create a time difference with the real world is the dream pursued by Mengyue's generation of otaku.

"This is really good news."

Shidou said excitedly. After all, if we put aside the troubles we encountered at that time, Shidou was also quite addicted to this fully submersible device.

"If you have time in the future, let's go back and dive into this virtual world and have some fun."

After hearing what Shidou said, Mengyue showed a helpless smile on her face for some reason.

"Well, Shidou. No need to wait until next time. This time, I want you to sneak into the computer world with me. At the same time, I also hope that you can keep the fact that this world has been repaired a secret from everyone for the time being."

"Eh?"

Shidou showed a puzzled look on his face.

"I'll tell you the specific reasons when we get there. Three days in that world is only four minutes in the real world."

"okay."

Shidou nodded.

In fact, Shidao really wanted to ask Mengyue now. Why did you tell him at this time? Why did you hide this from everyone? What was you planning to do that would take so many days? And what exactly was Mengyue planning to do after repairing this virtual world?

Although all kinds of questions arose in his mind, in the end, Shidao did not say much, believing that Mengyue would give him a reasonable explanation.

"Shidou, sit here and put on your infiltration equipment."

Under Mengyue's guidance, Shidao entered the infiltration facility that looked like a cocoon step by step. Unlike the last time when he had to wear a blindfold and fix his arms, this infiltration facility seemed to have been updated. Afterwards, Mengyue also lay down in some relatively small equipment next to him.

"Juya, I'll leave it to you from now on."

Ju Ya on the screen nodded.

[Understood, program execution begins. Subjects: Liang Yi Meng Yue, Gokawa Shidao. Simulation scene: Tian Gong City. Countdown, twenty, nineteen...]

As Maria's voice fell, the sound of a program running rang in Shidao's ears, causing Shidao to swallow secretly.
