Gudao: My House Is Huge! / Shiki Can't Walk Because She's Been Stuffed Too Full

"I didn't really do anything..."

"Consider it one of the rewards for helping me get rid of that Child of Prophecy..."

"That's true, but you're still at a disadvantage in some way..."

Gwen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands—

"Since Artoria can't think of anything you want, how about this: from now on, I'll cover all your food expenses."

"..."

Artoria blinked, a blush creeping onto her pretty face. She was both annoyed that Gwen was ordering food for her here, and also felt a shameful flutter of attraction.

Even without considering what the Chaldea employees around her were thinking, Artoria knew that her appetite was actually quite large, almost exaggeratedly so.

If I had a long-term meal ticket...

Seeing the look of excitement mixed with hesitation on Artoria's face, Gwen chuckled and extended his right hand—

"This is a chance to eat my fill for the rest of my life..."

"It's a deal!"

Upon hearing the phrase "forever," Artoria's eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, she reached out and grasped it.

"It's a deal."

Having captured Artoria, Gwen also prepared to see what abilities the Holy Sword Fairy, evolved from the fully-formed Paradise Fairy, possessed—

Could he be a magic swordsman, the kind whose every strike is imbued with magical power?

Soon, under Gwen's guidance, Artoria drew a gleaming blade, making the fairy girl, who had always been despised for her shameful magical power, have sparkle in her eyes.

"Lily..."

Just as Gwen was about to continue "instructing" Artoria, he suddenly felt the mark he had left on Adele being triggered, and immediately changed his words—

"Take your time to familiarize yourself with the current controls, and use your not-so-bright little brain to think of any new ways to play. I have something to take care of..."

"You're the one who's not very smart!"

As the girl grumbled in dissatisfaction, Gwen slipped into the ward.

Upon seeing Gwen's arrival, Macarios, who was watching over his sister, immediately stood up—

"Gwen..."

Gwen easily fulfilled the long-cherished wish he had been pursuing, and this young man who had lived for tens of thousands of years held Gwen in the highest esteem.

Chapter 687 Gudako: My house is very big!

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Macarios. Have you had breakfast yet?"

I just came from the cafeteria and brought some for you guys.

Gwen nodded in response, raising the food box in his hand as he spoke.

"Thanks..."

Macarios quickly accepted the gift with both hands and thanked him repeatedly.

Gwen, meanwhile, was looking at Adele, who was lying on the bed in a hospital gown. Although her complexion was rosy, she still gave off a haggard beauty.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

As Gwen spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, placing one hand on the girl's fair wrist to check her condition.

Although Gwen had gained some experience in this area after personally managing the Stargazer World Bubble, the Type-Moon World is different from the Tree of Life world, and Lostbelt are not World Bubble either. There are many differences between them, so he needs to be treated with caution.

"Oh, thank you, no, I feel fine now."

Adele shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she was alright, but she did not pull her hand out of Gwen's grasp. Only after vaguely sensing a force flowing through her body from their intersecting wrists did her fair face flush slightly.

Even though she has lived for thousands of years, the girl's girlish heart still beats wildly in that unchanging world.

"Um?"

Gwen, however, did not notice the blush on the girl's pretty face. His brows furrowed slightly, which immediately made Macarios, who was standing to the side, nervous, fearing that something had happened to his sister.

Although Adele noticed Gwen's frown, she felt a sense of peace as she felt the warmth emanating from her wrist.

"..."

Gwen didn't comfort Macarios; instead, he frowned and examined Adele's condition.

Unlike You Lan Dai Er and Stargazer, which Gwen was already familiar with, the world within Adele was quite different, almost making Gwen think something was wrong.

However, upon closer inspection, Gwen discovered that although it was different, it was still able to maintain normal operation and did not cause the world to collapse or hinder Adele.

"Although it differs from what I know in many ways, it seems to be fine for now, so there's no need to worry."

Gwen withdrew his hand and explained the outcome with a smile.

At the same time, Gwen's Cosmo quietly accelerated, pushing his Stigmata Space to try to evolve in a new direction.

Although Gwen's Stigmata Space is still far from the proper inner world in fantasy novels, at least it has shown some promise, hasn't it?

Increasing his understanding of the real world is one of the ways Gwen makes his Stigmata Space more realistic.

Perhaps one day in the future, this Stigmata Space might become indistinguishable from the real world?

"I'm sorry to have worried you..."

Adele said softly.

"Didn't I tell you not to use that form of address? It sounds weird."

Gwen flicked the girl's forehead with his finger, causing her to wince in pain, which only made her look even more adorable.

"According to the post-battle analysis, Aphrodite should have been assimilated and absorbed by Zeus before the battle, and eventually perished with Zeus. Now, only Demeter remains among the Gods."

Moreover, without Zeus's presence, she had no intention of restricting human development; she only wished for humanity to live peacefully. She is currently assisting the Olympian, who have returned to the World Bubble, with their construction work...

In conclusion... Adele, Macarios, you are free.

"..."

Even though several days had passed, the siblings hadn't had the energy to think about it after the series of battles. It wasn't until they heard Gwen's announcement that they suddenly realized that the freedom and change they had longed for had actually come true.

"Um..."

Adele's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice even trembled slightly.

"Thank you... thank you... Gwen..."

The faint images of her parents flashed through her mind, as did everything she had endured over the millennia, and all that she had done to make this day a reality... Adele was overcome with emotion and tears streamed down her face.

Meanwhile, Macarios was in no better shape, bursting into tears.

Although it was initially just a wish passed down from their parents, the efforts and experiences over the years have made it their obsession, and now that it has been realized, they are naturally overwhelmed with excitement.

Noticing the intense emotional fluctuations in the two, Gwen didn't rush to speak, but gently soothed their agitated emotions.

Only when the brother and sister's emotions gradually returned to their usual calm did Gwen break the silence in the ward with a "click".

Gwen put down the red camera, looked at the displayed photos, and nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with his photography skills.

"This is..."

Adele hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and looked at the camera in Gwen's hand.

"The camera just recorded what you were doing."

Perhaps much later, when you see this photo again, you will still suddenly remember what happened today.

Gwen laughed.

"Um..."

Looking at the photo Gwen showed her, Adele finally stopped crying.

"Adele, Macarios, now that you have broken free of your former shackles, whatever the future holds depends on what you can achieve—"

Breaking free from age-old shackles is not the end, but merely the beginning.

Gwen voice,

"Now, you can and are entitled to choose your own future."

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, the siblings, who had just recovered from their excitement, couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

In the past, even breaking the Gods' restraints was something I never dared to think about, let alone having time to think about the future.

This step wasn't originally in their plan. Even if they succeeded, they would just breathe the air of freedom and then disappear along with the World Bubble, with no future whatsoever.

Seeing the siblings' bewildered expressions, Gwen chuckled and pointed out a path—

"Since we can't think of anything to do right now, why don't we stay in Chaldea for the time being and act with them?"

At least, by staying here, you can witness many unforgettable things and see countless different people and things.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Macarios's eyes lit up immediately, and he readily agreed.

"Of course, that would be great..."

Then, however, he seemed somewhat insecure and said—

"But... does Chaldea really need us?"

Because Gwen single-handedly dealt with all the bosses, the bond between the two and Chaldea was far weaker than their original destiny.

"Of course you're welcome! Chaldea is willing to provide a place of refuge and a haven for all those who are adrift and without a home!"

Chapter 688: He couldn't move because he was so full.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been listening outside for a while, immediately pushed open the door and entered, warmly welcoming the two to stay in Kali.

"In this way..."

Macarios was about to accept Fujimaru Ritsuka's warm welcome when he suddenly thought of his older sister. He looked over and found her staring at Gwen, seemingly lost in thought.

"Adele, would you like to stay in Chaldea?"

It can add a rich and colorful journey to your life, and allow you to witness more differences and changes.

Gwen met Adele's gaze and asked with a smile.

"..."

This time, Adele didn't answer directly. Instead, she stared at Gwen in silence for a moment before cautiously asking—

"So, that means I can travel with you?"

"...

That's not the case.

Adele was unexpectedly direct, but Gwen didn't beat around the bush and spoke the truth directly—

"I have dealt with most of the enemies that Chaldea currently faces, but there are still many things waiting for me to handle in my world, so I may not be able to act with you."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Adele's bright eyes immediately dimmed, and two strands of hair falling across her forehead concealed the dim light in her eyes.

But the next moment, an exquisitely designed Invitation Letter caught her eye—

"Please accept this. With this, even if we are separated by a world, we can still talk or even meet at any time."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Adele immediately looked up at Gwen in disbelief, only to see a gentle smile—

"What, you don't want it?"

Gwen laughed.

"Of course!"

Adele snatched the Invitation Letter, opened it, and without a second thought, chose to Soul Binding, immediately beginning to receive messages casually sent by Gwen.

Seeing that Adele still needed a while to process this, Gwen didn't disturb her and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and Artoria, who had come with them—

"Although I can't always be with you, it's still necessary to keep in touch."

As he spoke, Gwen produced three more identical Invitation Letter and presented them to the three individuals.
