The days of waiting in the shop for the end of the conversion were as peaceful and boring as ever,
But for the current Su Yu, it was undoubtedly an excellent time to rest.
She took out the local specialties of that world that she had collected in her portable space. The strange ingredients and spices made Kyōko marvel for a long time,
The two of them had a lot more recipes in the space-time drift, but for Su Yu, who had tasted all the best dishes of the Food Hunters,..,
It could only evoke memories that she didn't want to remember.
After settling all the things with great difficulty, Su Yu, who had returned to the shop, finally had a chance to sort out the uncontrollable feelings during this period of time.
There was no doubt that the experience of these few months was an accident, and the good ending made the accident beautiful. Throwing away the horror of the situation out of control, all the details became warm.
Except for the time spent with Kyōko, Su Yu sat alone in the front hall of the shop for three days. In front of her was the key that had turned into a magic array on the counter,
And the ice-cold 'Polar Heart'.
Logically speaking..,
The best and fastest way to forget a relationship was to get rid of everything related to the other party. In the past few days, Su Yu had also planned to do so, but when she saw the sparkling blue-purple color, she couldn't do it.
After fighting with herself for three days..,
She finally gave up this plan. She reached out and put the gem into the portable space. She stored it according to her most essential thoughts,
Along with the untimely feelings that had arisen.
It was reasonable to exist..,
Even she herself could not deny that this feeling had existed.
After lunch..,
The two of them sat in the living room and watched a movie.
Su Yu held a large bucket of ice cream in her hand. Although eating such cold things after meals was not good for the stomach, the girl who had lived a indulgent life for a few months had become much more willful after the lack of someone who could persuade her.
She stared at the screen with a spoon in her mouth. After seeing the plot in the movie, Su Yu turned to look at Kyōko beside her.
The girl beside her looked almost the same as when they first met. Even the ends of her short hair were only slightly longer. Time seemed to have stopped on her.
This was because the flow of time in the world she belonged to was different from the flow of time in Su Yu's shop. A long time for the two of them might only pass a few months in her world.
Su Yu asked subconsciously, "How long has Kyōko been in the shop?"
"Hey, why do you suddenly think of this?" The brown-haired girl turned her head and smiled at her. "About two years."
But she didn't seem to have grown up at all.
Su Yu's eyes drifted away. She was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "After being away for so long, does Kyōko want to go home?"
For a wandering soul like Gu Xin, the world she had lived in for more than ten years was like her hometown, let alone Kyōko, who was born and raised in that world. When she took Kyōko away from her world, Su Yu did not think so much. But after listening to Gu Xin's words, she had a different idea about all this.
At this time, she was very glad that she had been slacking off.
"I still have a transaction application in your world that hasn't been processed. That is to say, if I open the transaction channel now, I can accurately locate your world," Su Yu explained with a smile, but her eyes were not really happy. "Does Kyōko want to go back?"
Although it was just a question, Su Yu had begun to imagine the scene of her sending Kyōko away. Although she knew that this was the best choice, the girl could not help but feel a little depressed.
"Huh?" Kyōko on the other side did not react.
For more than two years, she had followed Su Yu to various worlds. It was not that she had never thought of going home. In fact, leaving was an impulsive decision. At that time, Su Yu reached out to her, and the girl's indifferent and empty eyes reflected her shadow.
No one could refuse her.
When she calmed down and thought about this matter, a journey that defied common sense had already begun. The question that she almost blurted out was swallowed back the moment she saw her.
At that time, the girl did not seem to be used to the existence of another person. Apart from eating and sleeping, she would sit behind the counter without saying a word. Her overly delicate appearance made her look like a beautiful doll. Even her breathing was very, very light.
Such a person who was used to being quiet must be very lonely.
There was no way to leave Su Yu like this. Kyōko wanted to ask about the way home, but the words were stuck in her mouth. The flow of time was extremely slow, which made her feel that things could be delayed. She was not in a hurry to express her wish to leave to the girl.
And now, the opportunity to go home was really in front of her. Kyōko unexpectedly hesitated again.
Go home? That was what she wanted.
But the first thing that came to mind was the ridicule of those people, the misunderstanding that could not be cleared up no matter how she explained, and the incomprehensible gazes of her family and friends.
Was she that eager to go home? Actually, it was fine. Although the painful memories of the past were gone, the feeling of loneliness and helplessness was too scary. It made her develop a conditioned escape mentality.
"Yes … I want to go home." The girl's voice carried a trace of confusion. "After all, I've been away for too long. It's time to go back and take a look."
She did not use the word "leave". Although she understood that the girl would not really continue to follow her, Su Yu's mood instantly improved. She put down the ice cream in her hand and stood up.
"That's right. Then I'll go change the route now." Su Yu turned around and smiled at her. "If we're lucky, we'll arrive soon."
With that, she turned around and walked to the front hall. Her long hair drew a beautiful arc behind her. Kyōko sat in the same place and watched her leave. She felt that things were developing much faster than she imagined.
Was this journey coming to an end? But she still had a lot of things to do.
The girl who left quickly came back. As she walked into the room, she said, "We've changed the direction, but it seems that we're still a little far from our destination. It will probably take a few days …"
Her voice suddenly stopped. Kyōko turned around in confusion and saw Su Yu's widened eyes. There was a flash of panic.
Suddenly, a white light shone outside the window.
— —
It was huge, bright, and lit up the whole dark area.
A white ball of light surrounded by light blue lightning appeared outside the window without any warning. It appeared in the darkness that was supposed to be empty, as if it had torn apart the entire space. It quickly and silently attacked the floating shop in the darkness.
Su Yu widened her eyes and watched as it smashed into the outer wall of the shop. Under the strong light, the straight window frame seemed to be distorted. Kyōko in front of her seemed to be shouting something, but she couldn't hear it. All she could hear was a screeching sound that shouldn't have existed.
It was as if she was the one who was hit by the ball of light. The outer space of the shop was squeezed out of shape and made an inaudible creaking sound. The moment she regained her consciousness, Su Yu rushed forward and protected Kyōko under her body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the window shattered, the sound effects of the explosion rang out. The white ball of light enveloped the whole shop. The surrounding walls were shattered in the explosion. The violent airflow swept through the space. No furniture was spared from the explosion. Even the walls and the floor were broken.
The debris was impacted by the explosion and the airflow. Soon, it was so broken that it was impossible to distinguish its original shape. Without the restriction of the airflow, the airflow became even more violent. The moment her body was lifted into the air, Kyōko's sleeve flew out from Su Yu's hand.
Kyōko —!!
Su Yu shouted in panic, but she didn't make any sound. In this blazing white space, she couldn't hear anything other than the sound of the explosion.
The shockwave from the explosion carried the brown-haired girl's body out of the explosion's range and into the darkness where there was nothing. Su Yu extended her arm in that direction, but the surrounding debris wrapped around her, preventing her from falling with them.
The debris surrounded her and spun her body. The speed of the rotation seemed to conform to some kind of rhythm. Gradually, it became faster and faster. When it accelerated to a certain extent, the debris emitted light as if it was burning. Countless debris was like a star belt attracted by a planet. Countless stardust surrounded her and gradually stuck to her …
In the last second before losing consciousness, Su Yu only felt that she seemed to have broken free from some shackles. She subconsciously fell in the direction where the girl disappeared. The moment the white light disappeared, she suddenly had an unrealistic idea.
That lightning ball, where did she see it before?
— —
"Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up …"
In the dark room, a man's deep and elegant voice sounded. The pronunciation of the words seemed to conform to some kind of ancient rhythm, causing the flow of magic in the air to move.
"The cycle repeats, followed by five, and when it's full, it's time to abandon …"
— — So noisy. The voice kept ringing in her ears, as if vowing to wake up a sleeping soul.
"I wish to accomplish all good deeds in the world, I wish to destroy all evil deeds in the world …"
— — Some kind of information flowed into her brain along with the voice. Hero, Epic, Holy Grail, Class …
"… Thou art the spirit of the three words that bind thee for seven days, from the Wheel of Inhibition, the Guardian of the Libra!!"
The high-spirited incantation came to an abrupt end. At this time, there was no need to continue. The intricate magic circle burst out with a strong light, and a turbulent airflow appeared out of nowhere in the windless dark room.
With a head of short platinum hair combed behind his head, the arrogant white man stood in front of the magic circle with a trace of expectation, waiting for the white light to extinguish.
The first thing that appeared was a strand of hair fluttering in the air. It fluttered along with the swirling airflow, and the strands of black seemed to be able to blend into the night. Then, a similarly dark dress gradually revealed a figure in the white light.
It was a young girl. Her exposed skin was as white as snow, presenting a strong contrast with her black dress. One of her legs was curled up in front of her body, while the other was hanging down. The slit of her dress revealed a large area of her white skin, but it made it impossible for anyone to taint it. Some strands of hair fell to the side of her cheeks. The young girl's face was exquisite as if it was created by God. There was not a single part of her face that was not beautiful to the extreme. Any kind of excessive praise would be useless at this moment.
The golden-haired man was also speechless at this moment. He had fantasized many times about what kind of person would appear from the magic circle, but he had never thought that he would summon something that did not belong to the mortal world.
In the magic circle, the tip of the young girl's foot touched the ground. Her feathered eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.
That pair of ink-black eyes were like the boundless night and also like resplendent jade. However, a more appropriate description would probably be that it contained the stars of the universe and the Milky Way. With just a glance, it would deeply attract one's gaze and make it difficult to escape.
The corners of the young girl's mouth curled up slightly. Only her interested voice could be heard in the darkness.
