Evolution of a Girl

At this time, she was holding needle and thread, seemingly studying something.

"What is mom doing?" Tianyin walked over.

Mrs. Shion gently touched Tianyin's head and said, "These are clothes for Tianyin."

The appearance of the dress cannot be seen, but it is probably a black lace dress with black as the main color and white ruffles and thin lines as embellishments, which is very delicate.

It just seems like there's too much fabric.

Tianyin glanced at the clothes, then looked up at Shion.

Shion was also looking at Tianyin at this time.

She smiled softly.

"Mom, do you want my help?" Tianyin asked.

"You go play with your friends." Shion smiled.

But Tianyin did not leave here, but sat on the sofa.

"Kanami and Mai are chatting. I came out to rest for a while." She turned her head and looked at her mother. "Do you like it here?"

"Yeah." Shion nodded gently.

She turned her head and looked at Tianyin, her eyes shifting to her body, as if she was considering Tianyin's clothing size.

"Although the wild soul is scary, it is indeed very good." She said, "Being able to live with Tianyin is my greatest happiness now~"

"...What does happiness feel like?" Tianyin was gently embraced by Shiyuan.

The warmth in a mother's embrace is a completely different feeling from that in a father's.

Tianyin liked the feeling of floating in pure darkness because it was very similar to a mother's embrace. But at this moment, Tianyin seemed to truly understand what a true "mother's embrace" was.

"Hmm...it's hard to explain. Everyone has their own happiness. My happiness is being with my darling daughter and watching her grow up." She said, "Tianyin, you must be my little angel. Mom is so lucky to have met Tianyin."

"Ah."

Hoshino Shion wasn't just a "setting" born from a dream. At least now, she truly existed here.

"Tianyin-chan, our car is here!" Mai's voice rang out.

"Go and play." Mother looked at Tianyin with a smile.

"Okay. I'll go." Tianyin nodded at her and walked to the living room door. She waved to her mother.

Chapter 85 Yixin: I must let Wolf see Gatling if I get a chance...

When Tianyin closed her eyes again, she had already arrived in the dream world.

"Hahahaha, so refreshing! So refreshing!"

As soon as she came in, Tianyin heard Ashina Isshin's wild laughter.

Looking again, the swordsman Ashina Isshin was holding a cross spear in his right hand at this moment, sweeping it across in front of him, forcing back Tomoe Gozen in front of him, and then took out the UMP45 with his left hand and started firing.

However, Tomoe Gozen on the other side was not panicked. She quickly widened her range and dodged to the side. Ashina Isshin's ammunition only splashed some sand and dust in the mud.

In the end, even though the magazine was completely empty, the bullet only glanced at the corner of Tomoe Gozen's clothes.

But Ashina Isshin was not panicked at all. He twisted his left hand and the magazine fell down. Looking at his movements, it was unknown how many times he had practiced. Then he leaned the UMP45 against his waist and the other magazine was easily lifted up. This kind of skill can only be done by a sword master.

Tomoe Gozen on the other side took the opportunity to take out his giant bow, and while Ashina Isshin was changing the bullet, he shot a flaming arrow towards Ashina Isshin.

The huge arrow was like a flaming meteor, carrying unparalleled power as it flew towards the Sword Saint.

But Ashina Isshin was not panicked at all. He abandoned the UMP45, grabbed the cross spear with both hands and swung it forward. The airflow in the entire space was stirred by this swing, and the airflow hit the arrow. The fierce flames exploded like fireworks. The sword master took a step forward and easily dispersed the arrow that had lost its power.

At this time, the two finally noticed Tianyin next to them.

"Exercise occasionally is really a pleasure for both body and mind. Miss Ba, you are really amazing. Hahahaha."

As the old swordsman spoke, he put down the cross spear in his hand.

"You're too kind. I can only barely block Mr. Isshin's moves."

Ashina Isshin smiled but didn't say anything.

Because he had already seen that Tomoe Gozen on the opposite side was not serious.

In other words, Tomoe Gozen would not use his full strength when facing people he was familiar with in this place.

——Because she is not human, but a demon. An inhuman being with demon blood flowing through her veins, her full strength is unbearable for ordinary people.

"I really want Wolf to see this too." Ashina Isshin glanced at the UMP45 in his hand.

"Wolf?"

"Ah, a very interesting young man. Fighting him is really a great pleasure in life."

"I see." Tomoe Gozen nodded.

"Grandpa Yixin, Sister Ba, good evening." Tianyin walked over.

"Good evening, little Tianyin." Isshin and Tomoe Gozen both greeted Tianyin.

"It seems like you've become stronger again." Yixin found that Tianyin seemed to have become even more powerful, and his whole temperament seemed different from before.

"Yeah." Tianyin nodded, but she was also a little distressed, "But I feel like my swordsmanship is no longer in the Ashina style."

"Don't worry about styles," Ashina Isshin said, unconcerned. "Styles are just like weapon techniques. Use them in whatever way feels most comfortable to you."

"So that's how it is, I understand!" Tianyin nodded.

"Oh right." Ashina Isshin came over, "Can you help me get this Gatling gun from the comics, Tianyin?"

UMP45 is too girly.

Only Gatling is the romantic swordsman.

"Okay, sure. I'll get it for grandpa next time!" Tianyin still needs to go back and understand the structure of the Gatling gun.

——She needs to completely analyze something before she can materialize it in this space.

"But this game in another world is really interesting." Tomoe Gozen took out a GBA at this time - this was the device that Tianyin materialized last time.

After being introduced to it by Gabriel, Tomoe Gozen found that she seemed to like this device.

GBA and the like are really interesting.

"There really is something wrong with the flow of time."

But at this moment, another familiar voice sounded.

It's Lelouch.

He walked over: "Tianyin, are you free now?"

"What is it, Lelouch-nii?"

"Well, I've noticed that the speed of time flowing in the dream world has changed. No, it's always changing, but the change is getting bigger and bigger. Now, if I spend a day in my own world and then come back to the dream world, several days have already passed here."

"Come to think of it, Lelouch, your frequency of coming here has indeed been decreasing." The one who spoke was Shinku. She had been here the longest, so she could notice the changes. "By the way, Amane-chan is the opposite of you. She comes here more often now than before."

"...I see." Lelouch nodded, seeming to be lost in thought.

"What happened to time?" I asked curiously.

"I had a hypothesis before," Lelouch said, "There was a man here named Yoda who once gave me and Shinku some inspiration. We found that when each world approaches the 'point of destiny', time will change."

Unfortunately, the master always spoke in inverted sentences, which sometimes felt strange to understand.

But the other party discovered some wonderful things about the dream.

"Changes in dream time?" Tomoe Gozen also came over. She didn't care about these things, but Lelouch successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.

"I summarized it."

Lelouch pulled out a pocket watch.

"We only look at the hour hand. 'Destiny' is the hand of a pocket watch," he said. "The time in our world is on this hand of destiny, but when our destiny changes, we will slide on the hand."

Lelouch pointed his finger at one of the pointers and slid it inside.

"For example, my world is starting to slow down, which means that my world is getting closer and closer to the inside of the destiny pointer, so time is getting slower and slower, while the time in Xiao Tianyin's world is starting to get closer and closer to the outside, so time is getting faster and faster."

"Destiny" itself is unchanging, so every world should be moving forward.

But some worlds are closer in distance, while some worlds are farther in distance.

The trajectory of the outer circle may be two to three times the length of the inner circle.

Lelouch's world is moving towards the inner circle, which means that time is slowing down.

Tianyin's world is moving towards the outer circle, which means that time is getting faster and faster.

"And this kind of change often occurs because the 'node of destiny' is approaching," Lelouch said.

"Then what is destiny?" Yi Xin asked.

"We don't know yet."

Lelouch shook his head.

Is it because I’m about to go to high school?

Chapter 86 I Flow

There are many factors that affect the speed of dream time flow, and the subjective cognition of the person involved is also a factor.

Especially Tianyin himself.

If she herself has not entered this Changying dreamland for several days, the time of this world relative to Tianyin's time will become slower and slower, and in the end it will even stagnate.

This is easy to understand because this is Tianyin’s dream.

When Tianyin leaves here, the time in Changying's dreamland will continue to advance for a while due to inertia, but when Tianyin does not come for a long time, this space will gradually stagnate like a car without gasoline.

But if we put aside these influencing factors, assuming that the visitors appear in dreams every night and do not have any unnecessary subjective will, then the factor that affects the world will be the timing of "fate" itself.

But unfortunately, Lelouch could only speculate this much at best.

Although he is a genius, without sufficient information, even a genius cannot continue to deduce.

Isshin and Tomoe Gozen didn't feel anything about this because they were both dead.

Shinku is also interested, but her interest is more like passing the time, rather than being as keen on studying the principle itself as Lelouch.

In the end, the only one who was truly interested and put it into practice was Lelouch.

"Really good swordsmanship."

At this time, Tianyin also followed Yixin.

Because we had talked about swordsmanship before, Yixin also took a look at Tianyin's swordsmanship.

Tianyin's swordsmanship was amazing, completely responding to his opponent's swordsmanship, just like a mirror.

"Although it is different from Ashina-ryu, as long as you want it to be, it is Ashina-ryu. If you don't want it to be, it can also be any other swordsmanship." The old swordsman was very open-minded about this.

"But such a powerful swordsmanship should have those cool and iconic moves."

Tianyin felt that the moves that could be shouted out loud were really great.

She looked at Tomoe Gozen: "It's the same as Tomoe-sister's."

"Eh? Me?" Tomoe Gozen put down the GBA and denied it. "When I perform a move, calling out a name is actually a power similar to a word spirit. The purpose is to call out the True Name of the Noble Phantasm and thus unleash its true power. We Heroic Spirits all have abilities sublimated from our deeds in life, and by calling out the True Name, we can use this ability... Although I'm not sure if I am a Heroic Spirit."

This is not the Throne of Heroes, but another world.

Tomoe Gozen wasn't sure if she was a dead ghost or a Heroic Spirit on the Throne of Heroes. She did have knowledge of Heroic Spirits, but Tomoe Gozen had been here for a while, and she was gradually developing subtle doubts about her own existence.

But no matter what, I am already dead. As the "world after death", this Changying dreamland is still very comfortable.

"Well, if you want to forge your own path, you can only rely on yourself." Ashina Isshin closed his eyes and picked up the wine glass, as if to rest his mind. After savoring the wine, he continued, "When I was young, I once pondered my sword, but at that time, my body was always faster than my thoughts. The sword in my hand would always strike out while I was still thinking. When I truly understood the sword, it was probably because my body had finally slowed down enough to catch up with my thoughts."

The old swordsman may not be as strong and powerful as the young swordsman, but his swordsmanship has been honed and become more concise and pure.

The girl nodded in confusion.

"I understand." She said seriously, "I want to have my own sword skills!"
