Chapter 212

As Little Sakura spoke, she became extremely frightened. She wondered if she was possessed by a ghost or spirit, or if the monster from last time had left something unclean on her body, causing her to become so strange.

After listening, Chu Yuanqing had a guess in his mind. Yayoi and Charlotte from the old era probably had a good relationship, and were even likely members of the group around the campfire. That would explain why hearing each other's singing caused such a chain reaction.

If that's the case, perhaps we should also ask Liuli and Qingxuan. If they both react, then maybe having Charlotte switch places with us would allow us to fulfill our agreement before the campfire.

So, before she left, wouldn't she be able to entrust her Little Idol and daughter entirely to Charlotte?

With Xiao Shu being cared for by her mother, Charlotte's dream has come true.

The Pure White Witch's mind was filled with random thoughts. She gently stroked Little Sakura's head with her soft, delicate hand and said comfortingly:

"Yayoi, don't be afraid. It's not a bad thing. There's no danger."

"By the way, did you bring those paintings you did yesterday? Let me see them."

Upon Kiriwake Yayoi stood up, rummaged through her bag and pulled out a pile of sketches, which she then presented to Chu Yuanqing like a treasure, saying:

"Here, that's all."

Chu Yuanqing arranged the documents into a stack, held them in his hands, and flipped through them, muttering to himself:

"The [Amaterasu] system, the Izanagi branch, are all Calamity Beasts that crawled out of the Land of the Dead?"

"It seems these are some of the monsters that left the deepest impression on Yayoi from the old era, and these weapon blueprints were used to rehearse the [Heart Forging] process."

East Flow Island, where Kiriwake Yayoi, was one of the most special forbidden areas in the old days.

East Flow Island is not like the Pure White Forbidden Zone of the [King of Salt], which turns all life and matter that comes near into salt. The people there live well, but they are occasionally subjected to a hundred ghosts and Demons and Monsters, and are slowly harvested like livestock.

One point to mention here is that the Disaster God can grow stronger.

If we were to say that the [King of Salt] grows by continuously repeating the act of saltification.

The Old Testament, which gave rise to God and the archangels, Ymir, which took the World Tree as its core and extended into the prototype of the entire Norse mythology, grew by relying on a set of internal logic within the pantheon.

As the origin of the Dongliu mythology, [Amaterasu] needs to use the fear, flesh and blood, love and hate, and faith of the entire East Flow Island to construct the so-called eight million gods, build its own framework, and thus trace back to the body of the main god.

In this respect, [Amaterasu] and [Ymir] are very similar, both relying on the pantheon to revive themselves.

However, in terms of strength, [Ymir] is much stronger than [Amaterasu].

When Chu Yuanqing attacked [Amaterasu], Laevateinn was in its initial state, while East Flow Island was almost completely wiped out, having already constructed the shell of [Amaterasu], and its power was not far from its peak.

In this battle, Chu Yuanqing first learned Laevateinn's exclusive life-burning technique, [Burn Ash]. Then, through hundreds of cycles of death, he entered the soul realm of listening to the gaps between all things and peering into the points and lines of rules. He even sublimated several Martial God Skill before he could barely defeat this Disaster God.

The battle against [Ymir] seemed simple, but the opponent had only revived Odin, who was not yet at his peak. Furthermore, he was completely defeated by the Witch's Laevateinn, which was forged with the [Heart Forging], and even had double the number of Disaster God powers.

In conclusion, this is what leads to the aesthetic effect of seemingly crushing everything in its path.

The fact that the former Savior would wait until the very late game to nerf Ymir speaks volumes.

Chu Yuanqing was like an editor reviewing manuscripts for cartoonists. He looked through all of Sakura's drawings and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even though the Sea of Truth has erased most of the traces of the other side, these weapons, which played a huge role in the war of Disaster Tide in the City of Doomsday and even the major cities, still remain in memory.

The wars of the old era were never a stage for her alone.

Chu Yuanqing felt a pang of nostalgia.

Although she couldn't remember her first meeting with the Witch, since the priestess's location was in the forbidden area of East Flow Island, and she had used [Heart Forging] to forge a large number of Mythical Weapon for the major cities, it meant that... she had most likely lured the priestess from East Flow Island back to the City of Doomsday a long time ago.

The information that East Flow Island was a forbidden area only came about in the later stages of the apocalypse. By the time this news was revealed, the area was already truly a no-go zone. If it had come any later, the other side would not have had the chance to shine in the outside world.

Chu Yuanqing composed herself and said softly:

"Yayoi, keep these design drawings safe, and tear up the rest."

In her eyes, these drawings were traces of Yayoi's efforts to save the world, and it would be a great pity to destroy them.

But there's no need to keep the rest of the drawings. First, exposing them to the Dream Weaver Rabbit would attract unnecessary attention, and second... these were originally the Witch's childhood traumas; what if keeping them gave Little Sakura nightmares?

Upon hearing this, Kiriwake Yayoi nodded and obediently crumpled up all the drawings of monsters, throwing the scraps into the trash can without any reluctance.

These paintings were all completed in just half an hour, so there was practically no time cost involved. And Xiao Qing must have her reasons for saying that!

Chu Yuanqing thought for a moment and continued:

"I can roughly guess what's wrong with you, but don't worry, just continue as before."

Chu Yuanqing had considered telling the truth, but the cause and effect and the story were too complicated, completely different from the reason that could be barely explained by Magical Girl. Even if she told him, no one would believe her.

Moreover, even if Yayoi believed it, and even if more memories were recalled during the process of listening, it might not necessarily be a good thing for her.

Whether it's the memories of the old era or the crises faced in the New Era, they are far too heavy compared to the daily life she has experienced in this Worldline. It is a huge turning point that truly subverts her worldview.

Four months, four more months.

The collapse of [Pure White] will change the pattern of the world.

<Flashdance> has already begun to accelerate its actions. Talented contestants like Yayoi will inevitably learn part of the truth soon. Her time to step onto the stage as an idol with the purest passion is running out.

If that's the case, why tell her something even more burdensome?

Was it all just so that the other person would remember Chu Yuanqing, so that she wouldn't be so lonely for the rest of her life?

Chu Yuanqing wasn't that selfish. She would rather the other person never remember her than lose their hard-won happiness even a day earlier.

Kiriwake Yayoi couldn't grasp the gravity of the situation; she nodded as if she understood.

Since Xiao Qing isn't saying anything, there must be a reason behind it. Maybe it involves some kind of Magical Girl ban.

"I understand. Let's go back then. Everyone's probably finished showering and is waiting for us to go eat together."

Little Sakura revealed a pure and innocent smile, her pink eyes sparkling in the light.

Chu Yuanqing was somewhat dazed as she watched. She belatedly realized that she could no longer treat Kiriwake Yayoi as a simple junior as she used to.

This is a bit different from Xie Qingxuan; she still can't remember what the Golden Haired Doggy looked like in the old days, nor can she remember the cause and effect between the two of them in the past.

But Kiriwake Yayoi different. Her contact with herself in the old era, and even the bonds she had formed with her, were partially revived in that sea of fire, gradually becoming clearer in her mind.

Even though the other person didn't have memories of the old era, the slight sense of familiarity she felt made it impossible for her to treat the other person as a child anymore. Even recalling the past Magic Replenishment at this moment had a completely new and hard-to-describe feeling.

If she had always viewed her kisses with Yayoi as a necessary part of her mission to save the world, then her feelings during those times were nothing but guilt, remorse, and the forced pleasure derived from Magic Replenishment.

Looking back now, it carries a hint of emotional ambiguity.

This genuine sense of transgression towards Charlotte seemed to elevate the purity of the minotaur, making her feel extremely ashamed. She was like a pure young widow caught cheating, tormented and condemned by her conscience.

At this time,

Kiriwake Yayoi didn't think too much about it. As usual, she took the opportunity to get close to Chu Yuanqing and happily hugged his arm. But after a while, she strangely found that Xiao Qing, who was used to physical contact with her, had become subtly stiff.

Little Sakura was filled with curiosity. She turned her face to observe Chu Yuanqing's delicate face, and then moved closer, burying her arm in the plump fruit. The rich fragrance of her body, mixed with the scent of her Heart Tide, filled his nostrils, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous.

Chu Yuanqing pursed her lips, seriously distancing herself from Yayoi. Her fair face was tinged with a lovely coral pink, which made the Sakura Girl's heart flutter. Even her gaze began to linger on those pink lips.

Just then, Tang Liuli, who had just finished showering, walked into the room and saw the two of them "facing off".

The Green Eyed Cat dried her wet hair, glanced at the Pure White Witch, then looked at the Sakura Girl, her little face suddenly serious.

At that moment, her extraordinary talent triggered an instinctive reaction, and she sensed that something was amiss.

I feel like... the atmosphere between Xiao Qing and Yayoi has changed a little?

Could it be that the despicable Sakura Girl stole a kiss from Xiao Qing while she was away?!

The girl's eyes turned "fierce," and she couldn't help but secretly use her empathy to check their bodies. To her shock, she discovered that there was no lingering aftertaste. Before she could feel disappointed, or rather, before she could feel confused, she sensed the crisis of being outdated.

What happened? What exactly did she do to Qing Bao?

Why... does it feel like Qing Bao's feelings for Yayoi have changed?

Kiriwake Yayoi felt a little disappointed. She thought the atmosphere just now was surprisingly good. If she had seduced him a little more, taken the initiative to get closer to Xiao Qing's arms, and learned that shameless lecherous spirit of begging for kisses, maybe Xiao Qing would have hugged her waist and kissed her hard in his arms!

And...

That Kagura Dance not only changed Chu Yuanqing's feelings towards her, but also brought back her scattered and fragmented memories, evoking emotions from the old era, making her feelings for Chu Yuanqing even stronger.

Little Sakura felt a strong urge to act cute and wanted to do something with the other person to express her feelings. Her intuition told her that this kiss would definitely be more comfortable than before.

The girl glanced at an adorable cat with wet hair and rosy cheeks. A hint of resentment flashed in her clear, Pink Diamond eyes. If only this third wheel wasn't there.

That despicable Liuli, she's utterly wicked!

But Liuli's arrival helped her regain some composure.

Xiao Qing had said that Xiao Shu must never find out about their relationship. If they got carried away and kissed in the dance studio, it would be terrible if Xiao Shu caught them when she came back.

Not only will I have to explain the chaotic relationships within the team, but I'll also be held accountable by Qing Bao afterwards. Just imagining it is terrifying!

The Green Eyed Cat looked at Little Sakura's hateful face, which had upturned eyes and a pure smile, and felt that the other girl was showing off to her, very smug. She gritted her teeth in anger and glared at her unhappily.

Xie Qingxuan pushed open the door and entered.

The girl's platinum blonde hair was wet, and her eyelashes were still damp. Her dark eyes were calm and focused, like a puppy that was still clingy even after being soaked in the rain. Her attention was completely on Chu Yuanqing, which was very cute.

Chu Yuanqing felt even more guilty. If she could still find an excuse before reviving the memories of the Witch, she could say that Xie Qingxuan was perhaps the kind of comrade-in-arms with whom she had only a revolutionary friendship.

But right now, she's very doubtful and not entirely clear about her relationship with Xie Qingxuan.

This is not to say that Chu Yuanqing in the past was a terrible person and left behind many emotional debts in the old era.

Instead, just like the Witch who forged the sword with her own body, almost everyone around him, as the Savior, died in extremely tragic battles.

In such circumstances, no feelings have a chance to blossom and bear fruit; they all wither away in the ensuing tragedies, like a piece of music that has been half-composed but has run out of ink, leaving only regret.

In the end, Charlotte was the only one still alive by her side.

But after defeating the thirteen Disaster God, Chu Yuanqing, whose personality had collapsed countless times and who was no longer sure if he was still himself, had become a walking corpse obsessed with saving the world. He had lost the ability to love someone and was naturally not qualified to give Charlotte an answer.

Therefore, Chu Wangshu was not conceived through normal childbirth.

In reality, before the two corrected the Worldline, the planet was on the verge of destruction, making it impossible for a newborn to be born through a ten-month pregnancy.

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket was Charlotte's last baby born in the old era, born through a blessing that combined their bloodlines, infused them with their emotions and souls, and allowed them to overcome numerous Shackles with her authority, before launching the [Funeral Procession].

This was Charlotte's decision.

To ensure that Chu Yuanqing would have a reason to live when he returned to the New Era, she chose to entrust him with the most special treasure of her life before her death.

The Doomsday Diva's decision was indeed very successful.

Chu Yuanqing has been able to live until now, and to struggle until now, all because he has been given the responsibility of being a father.

However, now that the cause and effect of the old world have continued into the new world, many things have become distorted when they are repeated.

For example, Little Cotton-padded Jacket who is the same age as her biological mother.

For example, Chu Yuanqing, whose physical age is currently younger than her daughter.

For example, the people he's Magic Replenishment are all people he's seen before, and his feelings for them are starting to become uncontrollably ambiguous, while Charlotte, who is theoretically his rightful love interest, is still far away.

Chu Yuanqing has a very serious personality. If she tries to sort out these things, her brain's CPU will burn out, and her chest will be filled with shame, embarrassment, immorality, guilt, and other messy feelings.

The Pure White Witch couldn't help but avoid the Golden Haired Doggy's direct gaze. She was completely unable to resist that straightforward affection. After being looked at by his innocent eyes, she felt like she deserved to die, that she was a hateful and wicked woman, and that she was no longer a good Dad.

Xie Qingxuan was curious, her eyes filled with doubt. She felt that Xiao Qing had suddenly become very strange, like a married woman in a pornographic film who was hesitating at the crossroads of her life, with an alluring sense of entanglement. Even her pink lips seemed to have become more delicious.

Hmm, I need to find a chance to try it and see how it's different from usual.

The Golden Haired Doggy had set herself her main task for the day. Her expression remained unchanged as she asked in a calm tone:

"Two bathrooms are now available, aren't you going to use them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Wangshu, who had also finished showering, entered the dance studio.

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket looked at Kiriwake Yayoi, who was still wearing her training uniform, and the Pure White Witch was twirling a strand of hair around her earlobe with her fingers, her eyelashes drooping, looking down at her toes, exuding innocence. She felt that something was off about the atmosphere.

Could it be...?

Are people talking about some very adult topics behind her back, making Xiao Qing feel shy?

Thinking of this, Chu Wangshu became curious and wanted to hear it too!

Unfortunately, her appearance acted as a perfect lubricant, easing the eerie atmosphere in the room and causing everyone to go about their business. Chu Yuanqing and Kiriwake Yayoi went out one after the other to take a shower in the empty bathroom, much to the disappointment of the Little Cotton-padded Jacket who wanted to venture into the adult world.

Twenty minutes later, the group regrouped.

It's 6:30 PM now. Everyone's decided to have dinner, then go out for a stroll, and get back to the hotel before 10 PM to wash up and go to bed, so we can prepare for tomorrow's itinerary and training.

Chu Yuanqing never had a problem with what to eat. She and her teammates enjoyed the evening breeze from the Danube River and admired the cityscape of Vienna. Everyone said that you could see the whole city at night from Danube Park, but there were fewer people there at night. Everyone preferred places with a more lively atmosphere.

Little Sakura confidently stated that to see the true face of a city, one cannot simply visit famous tourist attractions. Since they had agreed to create wonderful memories, they naturally needed to have some spirit of exploration and adventure.

Green Eyed Cat was skeptical, thinking that it was easy for a group of girls to run into bad people while wandering around at night.
