Evolution of a Girl

It's not the wrong size.

But it was because it was a coming-of-age gift for Tianyin.

——She probably wants to continue living this kind of life.

Just watching my daughter and her friends live a carefree life is enough.

Because this is the greatest joy for a mother.

However, her life was only on loan.

There was a knock on the door.

Tianyin carefully put down the gift box and ran to the door.

It's Eto Kanami.

She was in a bad mood and seemed a little distracted. She didn't even wear the mask she usually used for training. She was just wearing the clothes for practicing.

"Tianyin-chan. Are you free?" with a slightly pleading look.

"Yeah. Is something wrong Kanami?"

Kanami nodded. "My mom wanted to see you. But the phone call didn't go through, so I came directly here."

There was a car at the door with a boy in it, and the driver was an ordinary man.

Those are Kanami's brother and father.

"Okay. I'll be there right away." Without having to pack anything, Tianyin put away the gift her mother gave her, then got into the car with Kanami and went to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, Minato was watching TV while receiving an IV drip.

Compared to the first time we met last year, she had lost a lot of weight. She lay on the hospital bed, her body weak, but her eyes were still sharp.

"Hey. You're here." The voice was a little weak, but as generous as ever.

"Auntie Menato." Tianyin walked over.

Minami smiled at Tianyin and then looked behind her, "Kanami, I have something to say to little Tianyin."

"Well, hi!" Kanami nodded, then followed her father and brother out of the ward.

Seeing the others leave, Minato turned off the TV and turned to look at Tianyin.

"How is your mother?" Minato asked.

"Mom...went back." she said.

"Really?" Mina closed her eyes tiredly. "I don't know why, but I seem to be able to discern that hidden worldly smell. The feeling in your home, Tianyin, is very strong."

"I had clearly passed out before, but suddenly I felt that power and felt much better, so I woke up," she said.

"Well, Auntie Menato, it's only half."

"……Eh?"

"Because Auntie Minato is only half, that's why it's like this." Tianyin walked to the bed.

Although a little surprised, Minato's expression did not seem surprised.

"It's... life force." Minato sighed, "Really, who on earth are you? You can even see through this."

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, these things are related to the disaster that happened more than ten years ago—the Great Desolate Soul, you know."

Tianyin nodded.

There once was a very terrifying Great Wild Soul in the world of swordsmen, who was said to have been destroyed by Origami Yukari, the director of the Sword Administration Bureau.

"I was a witness to that disaster," Minato said. "Don't look at me like this now. I was very strong back then!"

"Auntie Menato is also very strong now."

——Now, Aunt Minato can probably compete with Grandpa Isshin on equal terms.

Tianyin thinks so.

If she had the "Imperial Sword" in her hand, she might still be able to fight Sister Ba.

And if it were in its heyday, it would definitely be even stronger.

"Anyway, it was probably that disaster that cost me a tiny bit of my life force. Well, considering the outcome, I saved my best friend, so I don't have any regrets."

My time has come.

Mina knows it all.

Although the situation has improved temporarily, it is ultimately just a temporary rebound caused by a certain fluctuation.

"...I can connect." Tianyin said, "I can connect to Aunt Menato's life force."

"Huh?" Mina was surprised. "Is this possible?"

Tianyin nodded: "But there is a very serious problem."

"It's really not that simple." Mina knew that this kind of thing was probably not that simple.

"Well, because Aunt Menado's life is tied to the Hidden World and is filled by the Hidden World, if Aunt Menado's life is connected, your life will become endless and even younger."

Menado's life force was separated at the age of 17. Tianyin has already felt that the separated life force is in the hidden world, and it was at the age of 17.

At this moment, Mina in the real world has completely run out of energy, and the vitality of the hidden world will completely take over her body. In other words, she will begin to "reverse her growth" and gradually return to her 17-year-old appearance, while the "hidden world" will continue to fill her body.

"Uh... I think in a sense, this should be a good thing." Mina was at a loss for words. "Well, although it seems a bit strange that I've become younger than my son. Ah, then again, I'll be more like my father's daughter this way..."

Dad refers to Eto’s dad.

If what Tianyin said was true, Mina thought it was... quite funny.

"What should I do?" Mina asked curiously.

"Well, I still have some of the materials Mai gave me last time, so I put them in the hidden world. The things over there can serve as a medium, and Aunt Minato just needs to wear them."

"Ah, it's a training uniform similar to Kanami's." Minato understood immediately.

Tianyin nodded. "It's somewhat similar, but the function is exactly the opposite. This suit will remain attached to Aunt Menado's body. Using the power of the hidden world, it will connect Aunt Menado with the life force over there."

Menado's own vitality will continue to be consumed, and the power of the hidden world will gradually fill her. In the end, her own vitality will be completely replaced by the power of the hidden world.

But in Tianyin's opinion, this is not a problem.

Eating pork every day will not turn people into pigs, and being filled with hidden things is not a problem at all in her opinion.

"Kanami wears that outfit every day. It's truly amazing. But it's a little lacking for an adult. Hey, Amane, I heard you designed that outfit, and you can even modify it?"

Minato asked.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Can some adult functions be added?" Well, after all, there are problems like menstruation, and adults and children are different.

Chapter 90: Resurrection with full health and status

"Mom, are you really okay?"

Kanami looked at Minato, who was standing in front of her and was full of energy, and seemed a little bit unbelievable.

"Ah, it feels so good!" Minato raised his hands and pretended to flex his muscles.

She was wearing the same training clothes as Kanami, but unlike Kanami, the clothes on Minato were the opposite of Kanami's. They were always on her body during normal times and could only be returned to the secluded world on special occasions. Most of Minato was in the secluded world, so the connection between her main body and the secluded world could not be interrupted for a long time.

Menado's weakness was not due to illness, but simply a lack of vitality.

Only through this kind of "soul equipment" can she connect to the vitality that she lost in the secluded world, and because her vitality has been replenished, she has regained her spirit at this moment.

Of course, physical weakness still exists, but it doesn’t matter. You will be able to recover after a certain period of exercise and recovery.

"That's great, Mom is fine!" Kanami looked at her mother with hope.

"Tianyin-chan, thank you so much!" Kanami then threw herself on Tianyin again.

"Is this outfit so amazing...?" Brother Eto and father Eto were both stunned.

Just before Tianyin came in, Mina was still barely breathing. Everyone was mentally prepared and had even started preparing for her funeral.

But after Tianyin came in, she put on a set of clothes for Mina, and she was immediately resurrected on the spot.

"Clothes are a medium that connects the hidden world and reconnects Auntie Menado's vitality."

"Hidden World...wait, that Hidden World?!" Eto's father was startled and immediately became nervous. "Minato, you...you lie down first. I'll go and handle the discharge procedures."

He was shivering a little.

"Yeah." Minato smiled, "It's not just me. Kanami's training clothes are also from the hidden world. Oh, you didn't know that yet."

"Isn't this the training uniform you prepared?!" When Mr. Weitou heard this, he looked at Kanami who was wearing the same tights. His legs were shaking and he almost fell down.

"In short, don't do anything unnecessary for now, let's go home and talk about it!"

Although Tianyin talks about "hiding from the world" or not every day, this thing is even more powerful than the wild souls appearing on the streets.

If we stay here, God knows what kind of trouble will arise.

Wei Teng's father was very nervous the whole time, and he didn't feel relieved until the discharge procedures were completed and everyone got in the car and left the hospital.

"I've already recovered, so what you said is meaningless." Mina was very surprised.

"That being said... All in all, there's nothing wrong with the costume, but please don't tell me it's secluded from the world!"

It was not until they returned to the Eto family that Eto's father breathed a sigh of relief.

When Minato went to change her clothes, Amane came to Eto's father.

"Is uncle worried?" Tianyin was very curious.

"Ah, the Hidden World is a very dangerous place. And with Minato's personality, if anyone knew about this, there would be chaos... Tianyin, how did you manage to communicate with the Hidden World?"

Minato actually has a rather carefree personality, but he had been ill before, so he seemed more stable.

But now that she has been resurrected with full health on the spot, Wei Teng's father began to worry.

"That's it." Tianyin spread her palms, and a teacup appeared in her hand. She shook her hand, and the teacup turned into countless fragments and dissipated.

"It's natural," she said.

"It's really... unbelievable." Wei Teng's father shook his head.

"Well, leave it to me now." Minato had already returned at this time.

Although she was changing clothes, she actually just put on a low-cut long-sleeved vest on the outside.

The dress has long sleeves, and the hem just covers the chest, while the middle is exposed.

When Wei Teng’s father saw this, his eyes widened.

"Ah la la, you are fascinated by me~" Seeing the other person's appearance, Mina smiled and posed. She didn't seem to be shy about anything.

Well, besides Amane, there’s only the Eto family here.

"Hey - you guys talk." Eto's father grabbed his son's ear who was also staring blankly and left. Only Tianyin, Minato and Kanami were left.

"But this costume is really amazing." Mina sat on the sofa. She closed her eyes, and then a hood was put on her head, leaving only a teardrop-shaped opening at the chin.

"Hmm...it really feels like science fiction." However, Minato himself could see a virtual interface.

For Gabriel, this kind of service that allows her to surf the Internet while lying down must be what she envies the most.

"Sensitivity adjustment, resistance acceleration, emergency armament... incredible."

Menato's clothing is not only for training, but also comes with various weapons.

Then, she concentrated her mind, and a somewhat strange light film seemed to cover Menado's body.

"It's 'write'?!" Kanami recognized it.

"Ah, it's 'write'. Without a sword, I can 'write' just by using my thoughts. I am indeed connected to the hidden world." Minato himself was also surprised.

Then she retracted "write".

"Well, there are some good functions." Minato was still reading the content above. "You really understand this strange knowledge. Hey, what is this... No way..."

"What is mom looking at?!" Kanami's curiosity was aroused by Mina.

"Ahem—that's something for adults to see." Minato retracted her hood and winked at Kanami. "Well, let's not talk about that. Tianyin, since you made this outfit, can you adjust Kanami's outfit a little bit?"

"Hi, sure." Tianyin nodded.
