Kidnapping Kira Shigure, and the Key of the Void That Once Beat Up Old Yang (Continued)

In a world that seems to be made up of cakes and desserts, the blue-haired "girl" who is unaware that the person in front of her has already awakened is teasing her junior who has grown up a lot.

"Senior Kira..."

Suddenly being teased like this by a senior she hadn't seen in a long time, You Lan Dai Er subconsciously panicked, as if she had instantly returned to a few years ago and become that naive girl again.

Moreover, because she had truly committed to her future with Gwen, You Lan Dai Er didn't even know how to refute Shigure Kira's teasing.

"Huh?"

Seeing that although You Lan Dai Er's face was flushed, she didn't refute her words, Shigure Kira's eyes widened in disbelief—

"You...

You...

Are you two really a couple?

When Shigure Kira first met You Lan Dai Er, she noticed that he instinctively let Gwen, who was showing signs of fainting, lean on her without any regard for distance. She realized that You Lan Dai Er must have feelings for Gwen.

After all, she believed she knew You Lan Dai Er quite well. Even though the girl was quite straightforward, there was still a natural sense of distance that women naturally possess.

However, when You Lan Dai Er helped Gwen, she didn't pay any attention to this, which made Shigure Kira realize that this lovely junior might have entered the river of love.

However, Shigure Kira thought that You Lan Dai Er was too straightforward and more like Caslana's junior than Siegfried, probably wouldn't realize his feelings so easily. So she decided to give him a push, and also see how flustered her seemingly mature and reliable junior would be.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, You Lan Dai Er's first reaction was not to refute, but merely to blush.

Although Shigure Kira herself has zero romantic history, she clearly remembers how Cecilia was when she was in love.

Looking at You Lan Dai Er before her, Shigure Kira seemed to see Cecilia from back then in a daze.

This moment is just like that moment back then.

Fortunately, the only saving grace is that You Lan Dai Er's choice of people seems decent, unlike that Siegfried guy...

Of course, Shigure Kira didn't look down on Siegfried, and she knew that even with the bloodline factor, his raw strength was still superior to hers; she was simply carrying on the dissatisfaction she felt upon their first meeting.

It should be noted that Cecilia was more popular in Schicksal back then than You Lan Dai Er and Rita are now. With the Black Abyss White Flower in her possession, which could save lives, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Cecilia a true Saintess.

Standing beside Cecilia was Siegfried, that infamous fellow who was the subject of much gossip.

Shigure Kira still clearly remembers the first time she met Siegfried. The way that unkempt, slovenly (Shigure Kira's personal filter) guy grinned was exactly like someone who had finally gotten their hands on a swan.

Although Siegfried later proved with his strength that he was indeed worthy of Cecilia, his impression of Shigure Kira Siegfried already set.

Although Gwen, who was standing next to You Lan Dai Er, fainted as soon as they met, he was willing to take great risks and physically venture into the Imaginary Space with You Lan Dai Er!

This alone is enough to earn her full marks in Shigure Kira.

In this situation, even if one falls into a coma, it is not a big deal; in fact, it is even more commendable.

Moreover, although he looked somewhat disheveled at first glance, Gwen himself was impeccably clean and tidy, making him the clear winner in comparison between Shigure Kira and Siegfried.

This is also why Shigure Kira's first reaction was to tease You Lan Dai Er instead of helping her junior.

While Shigure Kira was utterly astonished by her junior's progress, which far surpassed her own, Gwen also forced his eyelids open and opened his eyes—

"We mustn't let Senior Siegfried hear this, Senior Shigure Kira, or he'll have to show off his collection..."

Gwen raised his hand to rub his throbbing head and said to Shigure Kira.

"Ah?"

Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar voice, Shigure Kira, still in shock, was startled at first, then realized that Gwen had awakened, and quickly signaled You Lan Dai Er to check on him—

"Huh?"

You woke up so quickly?

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but I received too much information in a short period of time, and my brain just couldn't process it all."

To give an analogy, it's like a computer freezing up; you need to wait a while for it to start running again.

"It's good that you're alright..."

Hearing Gwen's explanation, Shigure Kira, who was still somewhat worried about Gwen's condition, nodded.

If You Lan Dai Er hadn't said that Gwen was alright and would recover in a little while, Shigure Kira probably wouldn't have stayed here chatting with her; instead, she would have carried Gwen on her back and rushed off to seek help.

"But...

Has someone been overloading your head with information?

Shigure Kira asked warily.

After living in this miniature World Bubble of the Suggs Clan for several years, Shigure Kira also gained some understanding of the dangers around this World Bubble, knowing how many dangers existed around her, and was somewhat worried that some dangerous beings had appeared around her.

"No, it's just that I actively read a lot of information before entering this place."

Gwen, who no longer needed to lean on You Lan Dai Er, stood up straight and explained while rubbing his temples as he answered Shigure Kira.

"Ha?"

Shigure Kira couldn't quite understand.

On her shoulder, a strange black creature exclaimed in an exaggerated voice—

"You mean you actively sought out and read the messy information in the outside environment?"

"That understanding isn't wrong, but what I'm reading isn't that messy, junk information, but rather the valid information originating from the Imaginary Tree..."

Okay... maybe there's a lot of junk in there too..."

"I'm sorting out the law information I just read," said Gwen was currently categorizing and organizing the information.

"Forehead?"

She could roughly understand what Gwen was saying, but felt that she might be wrong, Shigure Kira subconsciously looked at You Lan Dai Er for an answer.

"Senior Kira, Gwen is very strong—"

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, if he were to face the Herrscher of the Void the Void from over a decade ago, his win rate would be roughly 10/90. Even considering the Cocoon of the End behind the Honkai, we'd give the Herrscher of the Void a 10% chance of winning.

You Lan Dai Er explained to Shigure Kira—

"Moreover, as his strength increased, Gwen's perspective on the world also changed, and he was able to see many things that we couldn't."

"Is it that strong?"

Shigure Kira, who believed You Lan Dai Er wouldn't lie to her, stared blankly at Gwen—

Heavens have mercy! She had just thought Gwen fainted because he was weaker than You Lan Dai Er, but it turns out he fainted because he was too strong and saw too many things.

"It's alright, but I almost passed out."

Feeling much better, Gwen lowered his hand and introduced himself to Shigure Kira—

"Nice to meet you, Kira- senpai. I am Gwen 'Bianca boyfriend and fiancé."

"Hello, I am Shigure Kira, and this is my friend Nicholas."

"Based on what Bianca and Rita said before, I should be able to see my name in textbooks now, right?"

Shigure Kira also recovered, shook hands with Gwen, and asked with a smile.

"Certainly."

Gwen nodded, withdrew his hand, and then reached back to pull out his phone—

"Oh, by the way, I have a gift here from an old friend of yours. Would you like to take a look?"

"My old friend?"

Shigure Kira didn't stand on ceremony; she already guessed the answer when she took the phone.

"Could it be that Siegfried guy?"

Didn't I remember saying he didn't betray his Schicksal?

As they spoke, Shigure Kira opened the video Gwen had shown her, and a voice that sounded very familiar to her rang out—

"It's been a long time, Shigure Kira. I've been missing your melodious voice."

"That bastard!"

When faced with Siegfried's immediate exposure of her past, Shigure Kira's forehead veins throbbed, but there was little real anger in her eyes; instead, there was a faint sense of nostalgia.

After all, the last time she argued with Siegfried was more than a decade ago, and now she's almost an old auntie.

The video Siegfried recorded wasn't long, but it effectively helped Gwen to get closer to Shigure Kira.

"This guy is as annoying as ever."

Huffing and puffing, Shigure Kira handed the phone back to Gwen, her cheeks puffed out as she said fiercely—

"Junior, when you get back, remember to give him a couple of punches for me, as a return gift."

"Wouldn't it be better to deliver this return gift in person?"

Gwen asked with a smile.

"I'd like to too, but unlike you and Bianca, it's hard for me to leave here..."

Shigure Kira shrugged, indicating that it wasn't that she didn't want to beat up Siegfried herself, but simply that she was powerless to do so.

"If you're willing, Senior Kira, I do have a way to get you back safely."

"Gwen said."

"Um?

What method?

Shigure Kira instantly perked up.

"Open this, select Soul Binding, and once we get back, you can use me as your coordinates to teleport back."

Gwen pulled out an Invitation Letter and said.

"Soul Binding?"

Shigure Kira accurately captured the keywords and, while asking questions out of curiosity, had already opened the Invitation Letter. A flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing an old-fashioned mobile phone, which made her exclaim in surprise.

"Bianca, you explain to Kira- senpai. I'll take my time and then I can help you out later."

Gwen stepped back two paces, leaving space for You Lan Dai Er and Shigure Kira.

"Okay, you should get some rest first. We have plenty of time."

You Lan Dai Er said.

Hi~

Hello, hello, can you hear me?

Soon, You Lan Dai Er appeared to give her testimony, Shigure Kira decisively chose to bind herself.

Although she has officially joined the Suggs Clan, living here as a human is still somewhat inconvenient, and human society is more suitable for her.

"Of course, even here right now, I can have a real-time conversation with Rita on Earth—"

Gwen was speaking, he suddenly remembered something—

"Oh, by the way, this is a gift Rita asked me to bring for you—"

She made the Matcha Parfait herself.

"Wow!

Thanks!"

Upon hearing about her favorite dessert, Shigure Kira's eyes lit up instantly. She took the Matcha Parfait from Gwen and began to eat it with a look of pure bliss.

While Shigure Kira was enjoying her meal, her symbiotic partner Nicholas explained the state of the World Bubble inside her to You Lan Dai Er.

They needed the Sugar Silver Key, which had been damaged by a human who had deceived Huggs, and it took a great deal of effort to repair it. Gwen couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Himeko's deceased father Muryo Taryusuke.

He, a newcomer and stranger, should remain silent on such a sensitive topic.

However, Gwen does indeed need to understand this Key of the Outer World that can transcend spatial dimensions—

"Miss Nicholas?"

I have a favor to ask, and I hope to obtain the nobleman's permission.

"What?"

Nicholas, who was used to arguing with Shigure Kira, was taken aback by Gwen's solemn tone. This was the first time he had ever heard such a respectful address.
