This is not the date I wanted.

"What's wrong Shidou, are you scared?"

"Well, I am a little scared."

Shidao replied with a wry smile. After all, he almost couldn't get out after entering. He had some psychological trauma.

"Well, everyone at Ratatoskr has added safety precautions to this device. If we encounter any strange bugs or danger, we will be ejected automatically."

"That's it."

"Well, if you're still worried."

Mengyue stretched out her left hand and placed it in Shidou's right hand, which was relatively large for her.

She gave Shidou a trustworthy smile.

"Don't worry, I'm here with you."

"Shouldn't I usually be the one saying this?"

Shidao smiled bitterly and gently held Mengyue's soft and boneless hand. He felt a little embarrassed, and the uneasiness in his heart also calmed down inexplicably.

(It seems that I have to work harder so that Mengyue can truly rely on me, instead of me relying on Mengyue all the time.)

Shidou thought secretly in his heart.

[Six, five, four...]

"Hey, Shidou, do you know? Actually, before we sneak in, we must say a password to enter the computer world. Otherwise, we will be caught in the boundary between reality and virtuality and will never be able to return."

Suddenly, Meng Yue said with a serious face.

"What? Then hurry up and tell me!"

Hearing Mengyue's words, Shidao suddenly became flustered.

“That command is: Burst Link – start! (Overclocking connection – start!)”

"That's just what you want to say, right!"

Shidou complained loudly.

02 Computer World Talk

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

"Well……"

Gradually regaining consciousness, Shidao dazedly got up from the sofa and looked around, finding himself in the living room of his own home.

"Are you the first one to show up at home like last time?"

According to the memory of the previous moment, I should have sneaked into the computer world with Meng Yue through the infiltration device in the airship. But the layout of the room and the placement of furniture in front of me are no different from the real world, giving people a very realistic sense of reality.

The degree of restoration was so high that Shidao wondered for a moment whether he was dreaming.

"Shidou, welcome back."

But the next moment, such doubts were denied by the girl in white nun's uniform who appeared out of nowhere and hugged him.

"Ah, Maria. Long time no see. I came to see you."

Shidou gently hugged Maria, touched the girl's head and spoke gently.

"Well, the day has come when I can meet Shidou again. I am very happy!"

Unlike the slightly devilish look she had on the screen, Maria enjoyed Shidou's pat on the head with pure joy on her face.

"Where are Junai and Mengyue? Why don't I see them?"

I remember that Meng Yue sneaked in with me, and Mariya also said that Maruna was waiting for them in this world. Now that I can't see the figures of those two people, Shidao can't help but feel a little confused.

"Ah, Mengyue woke up earlier than Shidao, so she is chatting with her sister upstairs now?"

"That's right. It's been a while since the two of you met in the real world. I think they have a lot to talk about."

Shidou nodded in realization.

"Well... that's not wrong, I guess."

For some reason, Ju Ya had a strange smile on his face at this moment.

Shidou tilted his head in confusion. Under the guidance of Maria, he went up to the second floor of his house. Soon, he heard a clear noise coming from Kotori's room.

"Hey, hey! Stop it! Change it back for me quickly, you bastard!"

"Hehe - I don't want to. Meng Yue, you are such a child. If you don't enjoy this golden opportunity, it will hurt!"

Hearing the conversation coming from the room, Shidou's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mengyue, what are you doing?"

Shidou knocked on the door and asked.

"It's okay, come in."

With Mengyue's permission, Shidao pushed the door open and walked into the room.

The first thing that caught my eye was a black-haired girl who was wearing a nun's uniform like Ju Ya and squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, and Meng Yue who was wearing a cheerleading uniform beside her.

……what happened?

"Ouch, that hurts, Mengyue."

"You are the one who got carried away. Reflect on yourself."

Sighing helplessly, Mengyue waved to Shidao when she saw him appear.

"Shidou. You're awake."

"What are you wearing now, Mengyue?"

Mengyue was wearing a cheerleading uniform similar to the ones seen in sports events. It didn't have much fabric, so her navel and shoulders were usually exposed.

Unlike those sexy and hot sports girls on TV, Meng Yue in her lolita state wearing this dress gives people a sense of innocent and romantic guilt. Looking at the girl's smooth belly button, radiant shoulders, and small and delicate legs inadvertently exposed in front of him, Shidao didn't know where to put his eyes.

“Well, it’s like this…”

Meng Yue sighed lightly and explained the reason to Shidao.

Probably because of the individual difference, Mengyue woke up earlier than Shidao after sneaking into the computer world. When Junai saw Mengyue who had turned into a child, she was instantly overjoyed and took out a lot of clothes to play with Mengyue as a changing doll. Although Mengyue was still a little uncomfortable with women's clothes, Junai helped her a lot in repairing the computer world, so she just accompanied her willfulness for a while.

As a result, Junai accidentally became too proud of himself and took out all kinds of clothes, treating Mengyue as a dress-up doll.

Then, this is the situation.

"That's it..."

Listening to Meng Yue's explanation, Shidao couldn't help but glance at the clothes scattered around. Among them were bloomers, sportswear, Gothic lolita clothes, cheongsam clothes, and elementary school clothes.

(Damn, is it too late?)

Shidao couldn't help but think in annoyance.

"It hurts, it hurts... Ah, you're awake. Itsuka Shidou."

At this time, Maruna seemed to have recovered from the pain and looked up to notice Shidou's presence.

"Long time no see, you look quite energetic, Junai."

"Well, it's okay. Compared to me, Maria is really..."

"Sister, don't say unnecessary things!"

Ju Ya, who was standing aside, blushed and puffed up her cheeks, saying dissatisfiedly.

"Hi hi~"

Junai shrugged lightly to indicate that he should shut up, and then turned his gaze to Mengyue, who nodded lightly.

"Since Shidou has woken up, let's get to the point. Maria, Maria. Please."

"Yes. Got it. Come on, Shidou."

"Hey, I see. Then, Gokawa Shidou, do your best."

"Ah? ...Yes, thank you."

After leaving Shidao with a few words of inexplicable encouragement, Maria and Maruna disappeared.

Then, just like changing the channel on a TV, the scene in front of Shidao suddenly changed, and the familiar home was replaced by an unfamiliar, spacious gymnasium. He was standing in the center.

"Where is this place?"

"The gymnasium in Tiangong City. It's just a random venue picked out from the database. After all, it's hard to adjust mentally if I'm at home."

Meng Yue's voice sounded. What made Shidao's eyes widen was that the girl was not in the state of a child at this time, but was wearing a loose black windbreaker and holding a dark blue longbow called the Sage of the Dawn. It was like a complete version of "hacker".

"Mengyue, change back?!"

Shidou shouted in surprise.

"No, this is just a reproduction of my appearance data borrowed from the computer data. In reality, I am still in the state of a child who was shrunk by the Seven Sins."

Meng Yue shook her head. As if to adapt to the body, Meng Yue stretched out her body and moved her joints.

"In the end, what on earth is this for, Mengyue?"

He brought himself to a computer world that had been repaired and then changed back to the way it was before being sealed. Shidou didn't understand what Mengyue wanted to do.

"Well, it's actually not a very complicated matter. It's just that from today, Shidou, you have to start training in this virtual world."

"train?"

Mengyue nodded.

"That's right. In order to enable you, Gokawa Shido, to better utilize the power of the spirits (harem) sealed in your body, this training was specially designed. If I had to give it a name, it would be called 'knight class (knight training program)'!"

"No, no, no! You don't have to decide on a name."

Shidou complained speechlessly.

"By the way, this plan has been approved by Kotori-chan. Her original words were, 'If it can help that useless Onii-chan become more capable, then Mengyue-jie can train her as long as she doesn't kill herself.'"

Imitating the sound from the piano, Meng Yue showed a smug smile on her face.

"Kotori..."

Hearing that his personal freedom had been sold by his beloved sister without his knowledge, Shidou showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Well, I have nothing to do with training. But why is it so sudden..."

Shidou had a puzzled expression on his face. It's not like he had never done training before. But most of the time, it was just playing with trash gals, having affairs with real women, and having various love comedies to improve his adaptability to women. These strange contents made Shidou doubt the professionalism of the organization Ratatoskr. Now that he heard such serious contents, Shidou was a little surprised.

"It's not that sudden, it's just that no one has been planning to bring it up before me."

With a sigh, Meng Yue looked directly into Shidao's eyes, her tone full of seriousness.

"Rather, I want to ask, why do you always think that you don't need to train the power of spirits, Shidao?"

"Well……"

Shidou was speechless for a moment.

Although it is related to the training content proposed by Ratatoskr, up to now, Shidao himself has never thought about training the power of spirits.

"Initially, Ratatoskr focused on your communication with women in the training plan and ignored the handling of the sealed spiritual power. I understand. After all, for the elves, this power is definitely not what we want, and the power itself is also very dangerous. If Shidou seals the spiritual power of the elves and uses it casually, it may be regarded as a very hypocritical act in the eyes of the elves."

But——Meng Yue suddenly changed her tone.

"Shidou, you have to understand. Our power is not only the reason why we are on opposite sides of humanity. It is also the most powerful force that protects us from harm. And now that DEM has appeared, it is not as simple as just saving the elves."

It's just like Allen. Even in Mengyue's heyday, he could only win by scheming and using dirty tricks. If we only look at the physical data and head-on confrontation, the strongest magician can definitely compete with Tohka in full spiritual outfit.

And behind him, there is a dangerous man whom Meng Yue still cannot see through - Westcott.

"Train and become stronger. Isn't this a matter of course? Or, Shidou, are you planning to think 'Please save them~' when everyone is in danger?

Are we going to summon our angels with a gambling mentality like a lottery?"

What Mengyue said was very sarcastic, but also very correct. At least Shidao himself couldn't think of anything to refute it.

Just like Meng Yue said, now the matter is no longer just about saving the elves. In Miku's strategy, Tohka was kidnapped by the sudden appearance of Allen, and finally fell into despair because she mistakenly thought she was killed.

If it weren't for Miku, Mengyue, and everyone's help, would Tohka still be able to live a peaceful life with laughter like she does now?

If Tohka had been in despair at that time, then would sealing Tohka's power really be considered saving her?
