"Hakuno, it's time to come home with me." After returning from Chaldea, Jiang You watched Hakuno slaughtering everyone on the duel field and finally found an opportunity to pull her away.
"Come home with you? Wait, have you already taken it for granted that I'm your property...?"
Seeing Hakuno's resistant expression, Jiang You knew this guy had taken things the wrong way again. The main reason was that he had been treating this like a game before, and without any intention of grinding her affection, he had never considered how to get along with her. But this wasn't a big problem; he had plenty of time later.
He casually covered the mouth of Melusine, who was about to chime in. Her values were also quite extreme. Although she was speaking up for him, with her worldview, she would basically only say things like "the weak must obey the strong." Jiang You was still quite greedy in this regard; he wanted more than just her body.
"You're overthinking it. I've found the place to return to your original world." While letting Hakuno know the truth, Jiang You also planned to go find a certain person who had teased him before. Sesshouin seemed to have noticed something unusual about him at the time, but Sesshouin was clearly not the type to stay quiet. It was quite surprising to Jiang You that she hadn't caused any trouble yet.
"So soon?" Hakuno didn't seem very happy. In her mind, she was a background character over there, living a dull and tedious daily life. It wasn't that she wanted to be the center of attention, but as the future King of the Moon, she was more accustomed to that kind of special life. "Can I go back after the Duel Tournament?"
"You adapted too quickly. You don't need to worry about that point; I will set up a Gate to the Library in a place you can easily reach. By then, you can come and go as you please." What Jiang You had to do now was connect all the worlds he had visited, turning Fuyuki in this world into something like a carnival. He was not the same as the true Creator of this world; he didn't like dark, edgy themes. If something was meant for the whole family to enjoy, it should be a heartwarming, family-friendly kind of joy.
"I feel like you're a bit different from before?" Hakuno sized up Jiang You, feeling that this guy seemed to have become much more "confident." "It really has been a long time since I've been out. I have to go back and take a look. I wonder if I'll be expelled for skipping too many classes..."
Jiang You suddenly burst out laughing. It was no wonder Hakuno felt this way; she still seemed to believe that the world she lived in was completely devoid of supernatural powers. "Actually, you're not even a normal high school girl to begin with. We'll explain all this on the way. Whatever I'm about to say next, don't you dare get scared."
Under Jiang You's guidance, the three of them soon arrived at Tsukimihara Academy. This place, which was supposed to be a training ground for Master candidates, now seemed to have become a real school.
"So, you're saying I'm actually a virtual character?" Hakuno yanked at her own cheek in disbelief, but the distinct sensation of pain made it impossible for her to believe. She then reached out and yanked at Jiang You's skin.
"You're completely misunderstanding me, aren't you?" It was asking too much for someone with zero knowledge of spells to grasp what a Spiritron Hacker even was. Jiang You slapped away Hakuno's increasingly daring hand; she was probably actually trying to pull the skin off his face. "It's fine if you don't believe me. Just think carefully: who are your parents? My supplementary additions to this world weren't very effective on a key character like you, otherwise, B.B. wouldn't still retain some of the world's authority."
Hakuno thought back and realized there were indeed many inconsistencies in her memories. A few months ago, she didn't seem to have any memories of anything outside the academy at all.
"But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to affect me much, does it?" Hakuno didn't feel like the world had changed in any way, and anyway, she didn't have the ability to care about such grand matters. "Why don't you just let me go back to playing cards? Since things are like this, I don't think going to school is necessary anymore."
"I don't even want to comment on your adaptability anymore." Looking at the already-resigned Hakuno, Jiang You didn't know whether to be happy or feel helpless. In any case, he decided to just go with the flow. "Since you don't have any objections, I won't interfere. By the way, you actually have a single-person dorm. That's good, it's quite convenient. I've set your wardrobe door as a passage to the Library, so it will be easier for you to come and go later. I have other things to attend to for now, so please go back on your own."
"What kind of shady business are you planning to do now?" Hakuno's intuition was quite sharp.
"In a certain sense, you're right. Next, I'm going to coerce a respectable young lady I'm meeting for the first time. Although she's not exactly a respectable young lady."
Tsukimihara Academy's Health Office was supposed to be the place where a certain idiot AI resided. But after she ran off to become a streamer, the health officer had become a woman so mature that even the air around her had turned warm.
Sesshouin looked at the medical records in her hand and tossed them aside with indifference.
How could she not understand that these adolescent boys were all using illness as an excuse to come see her, refusing to learn their lesson despite repeated discipline. If it were her dream self, she might have already eaten them all up and wiped them clean.
For some reason, her dream self seemed to think completely differently from her. Recently, this symptom had become more pronounced and seemed to have even started affecting reality.
Emptiness, that was probably the feeling, causing her to constantly experience the urge to fill herself up. It had already surpassed the level of ordinary debauchery, and the object of her desire was even this planet.
Was she still a normal person? Kiara Sesshouin straightened her white coat, the garment representing her status, which on her body instead had become incomparably seductive.
"Of course you're not a normal person, Miss Kiara." Suddenly, a strange male voice rang out sharply in her ear. No, she seemed to have heard this voice in her dreams before. Had she finally become unable to distinguish dream from reality?
"This is neither reality nor a dream, but an electronic world within the supercomputer known as Mooncell, which has now been materialized for certain reasons."
The owner of the voice seemed to have the ability to read minds, answering the question she had been pondering in her head. "I was wondering why you still haven't made any big moves; it turns out you're using this method. Letting your normal side act as a disguise to adapt to this environment where I have sealed all supernatural powers, while your true self hides in your dreams. Now, have you thought about the consequences of being discovered?"
Kiara Sesshouin turned her head and saw a handsome black-haired man who appeared to be in his early twenties. However, he was talking to her in words she couldn't understand at all.
"What are you saying?" For some reason, Sesshouin felt a sense of danger. She wanted to step back, but the man grabbed her wrist.
"You aren't the primary target. However, since you are hiding in your dreams, you might as well sleep forever." To be honest, Jiang You was quite craving Sesshouin's body, but he wasn't in a hurry for that. Since she had given him the opportunity, it was better to make that troublesome Demonic Bodhisattva disappear.
