Under the night sky with the morning star twinkling, a loud "bang" broke the tranquility of the Matou family.
The princess of the True Ancestor, the only living God, kicked open the door that was over 50 years old, glared at the owner of the room, Shinji Nindori, and asked loudly:
"Why did you come out?"
"... "
The boy in pajamas lying on the bed did not respond, as if he was asleep.
After venting some of his anger by kicking the door, Elquet seemed to remember something, and rushed to the other side of the room and knocked on the door that flew out.
"I knocked on the door, answer my question."
"... "
Seeing that Shinji still didn't react, Elquet finally exploded. She pulled away Shinji's quilt and sat directly on him.
"You get up."
Shinji didn't move at all, as if he was expressing his attitude with practical actions.
Then Arquette began to shake his body vigorously.
Then-
"Ah~~~~~~"
"You, you—"
"Eh?"
"oh?"
The multiple screams could not have come from the two people on the bed.
Elquet turned his head and saw two rows of heads beside the door, with only the door frame left.
Kariya, Tsuruya, Elsa, and Sakura.
Yustisa, Orange, Kirie, Fujino.
Well, in such a short period of time, all the members of the Matou family were gathered. Considering Elquet's earth-shaking momentum, this was not surprising.
At this time, all the members of the Matou family were watching the man and woman in ambiguous postures.
The attitudes of the onlookers were mainly divided into two groups. One group smiled and joked from time to time:
"Young people are full of energy. They don't even need to rest at this time."
"How you play is your business, but don't affect others."
Although they were mature and calm, they didn't know what was going on, but they were definitely not playing. Is there any need to kick the door when playing? They kicked it to the wall on the other side.
The other group was not so calm. All they knew was that it was late at night, a man and a woman, and in bed.
"You little thieving cat!!!"
Wuhui ran to the bedside and dragged Elquet hard. But with her little strength, how could she possibly be better than the True Ancestor
After trying for a while and finding it was useless, she began to call for reinforcements.
"Sakura, Fujino, come and help."
Compared to Kirie, the two girls who had practiced women's self-defense for many years were much stronger. But Elquet's strength was exceptional EX, and the three girls were so embarrassed that they couldn't pull Elquet off Shinji.
Finally, Yustisa and Orange saw the problem.
"Shinji?"
"Everyone, come down, now is not the time for mischief."
Hearing the seriousness in the two men's voices, the girls immediately became obedient. Even Elquet was obedient and stopped grabbing Shinji by the collar.
The personnel were exchanged, and the girls stepped aside, giving the positions on the left and right to the two women of superior status.
Orange's fingers quickly brushed over Shinji's body.
"My physical condition is normal, and my physical fitness has improved by 1.5 percentage points since the last check-up."
A white thread flowed out from Yustisa's fingertips and finally flowed into Shinji's brow.
"The problem lies in the soul. The weakness of the soul affects his condition."
"What happened? No, let's not talk about that for now. The most urgent thing is to make him recover. You do it or I do it?"
"Let me do it. I'm better at this than you."
Gathering her long silver hair behind her ears, the woman, who was increasingly losing the aura of the "Winter Saint", leaned over and pressed her forehead against the boy's.
At this moment, the two of them were closely connected, both physically and spiritually. The physical proximity allowed the contract to have the greatest effect.
Yustisa's body lit up with white aura, and the aura flowed into Shinji's body along the joint of their foreheads. Not long after, Shinji's body also lit up with white aura, and gradually began to be stained blue.
When the aura on Shinji's body turned completely blue, Shinji opened his eyes and the tiredness on his face disappeared for the most part.
"Phew~ I finally recovered. Thanks for your help, Yustisa."
Yustisa smiled slightly and asked softly: "What happened?"
"Nothing. I had some trouble with magic, and when I woke up, someone gave me a hard time."
Only Shinji and Elquet can enter the Reizi fictional world. Before finding a way to bring other people in, he doesn't intend to let his family know about this to avoid worrying them, so he uses this method to pass it over lightly.
The weakness of the soul was not a disguise. Everything in the fictional world was built on the soul. Transferring to the unknown realm consumed a lot of mental energy. Then, in order to stop the fight between the two giant gods, he used his trump cards one after another, and finally forcibly logged out. This made Shinji's soul almost exhausted, so he was unable to respond to Elquet's intrusion. Otherwise, he would definitely ask Elquet to fix the door as soon as possible, and then sigh that he had taught her well, at least she had the concept of knocking on the door.
Of course, Elquet didn't understand Shinji's painstaking efforts. She blew out her nose like a bull, humming: "It's not my fault. If it weren't for you—"
"We'll discuss whose fault it is later. Let me rest for a while. It will probably be in the afternoon, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."
As family members who have been together for a long time, they naturally know what is important and what is not. Elsa waved her hand calmly, signaling everyone to leave.
The last person who had not yet integrated into the Matou family was kept by Shinji in the name of repairing the door. Seeing her restore the broken wall to its original state with just a touch of her hand, the others had no reason to doubt her.
After making sure everyone was gone, Shinji finally answered Elquet's question:
"Arquette, do you think you could have won if we hadn't left just now?"
"I don't know, but I definitely won't lose."
"Then how long can you last without losing? After all, the fictional world is not Earth."
Elquet, who was using his mind to change reality and restore the door to the way it was before it was kicked, paused and his voice involuntarily weakened.
"I cannot use that ability on Earth because human inhibitions would prevent it."
Although it was not a direct answer, Shinji knew that she understood his intention, so he didn't worry about it too much.
"I don't know what Gaia thinks, but no matter what she thinks, I don't want to lose you - because you are my only companion there."
"Um, yes, I'm sorry." After restoring the room to its original state, the princess lowered her head, not daring to look at Shinji's face.
"It's okay. Remember not to be so impulsive next time." Shinji said as he got into bed. "Go back and rest. Using 'Original One' will consume a lot of energy for you. We will continue exploring tomorrow night."
"oh."
"Good night, have a sweet dream."
"Well, good night." Elquet's mouth curled up slightly and he closed the door quietly.
Shinji did not close his eyes in bed. He kept recalling the whole process of tonight's exploration and muttered to himself.
"What on earth are Gaia and Alaya thinking? Are you really enemies?"
PS: At present, I still tend to think that UO is to fight against "wandering star soldiers", so it is definitely no problem to fight head-on, and if I remember correctly, Mushroom also mentioned that Zhu Yue is also in the first tier among all UOs, probably on the same level as the Mercury spider. If the princess becomes the Earth UO, the original one plus the fantasy materialization, this scene is exciting to think about.
