Chapter 57
"I used to be a man. If you want to seal me away, you have to kiss me. Don't you care?"
Lingmeng asked her first question.
Shido answered this thought-provoking question without hesitation.
"I've said it before, this has nothing to do with your gender, Lingmeng. Even if you were Lingmeng a man, I would still do this!"
After saying that, Shido couldn't help but mutter to himself.
(Besides, Lingmeng, you're just a pretty girl right now, so I probably won't mind, right?)
(Damn it, you don't care but I do! And what do you mean by "if I were still a man"?! I feel like you're insulting me!?)
Because of her Mental Ability, Lingmeng was perfectly aware of what Shido was thinking.
Although she knew Shido didn't mean any harm, why did Lingmeng still feel so uncomfortable?
Despite her mixed feelings, Lingmeng continued to ask.
"If I'm sealed away Shido you, Shido, then you'll probably still be harassed by DEM or AST like yesterday. Is that okay?"
"It should be fine, or rather, I embarked on this path of no return after sealing Tohka."
Shido shifted his gaze to the side.
In truth, he knew very well that if he continued to seal the elves, his originally peaceful life would become increasingly turbulent.
But so what? More than the fact that his peaceful life was gone forever, Shido was more concerned about Lingmeng and Tohka's feelings that seemed to suggest they shouldn't exist.
"Ugh, Shido, you really are an idiot. You actually did this for someone you've only known for less than three days."
Lingmeng sighed helplessly, but then smiled with relief.
"But... in a way, Shido, you're adorably silly!"
Shido simply chuckled at this and didn't say anything more.
After all, this wasn't the first time someone had called me stupid, so I'd gotten a little used to it.
"Then... let's begin the sealing now! But I must make it clear beforehand, my relationship with you Shido, is purely platonic, but my feelings for Shiori-chan are true love!"
Lingmeng clenched her fist and said firmly.
Shido didn't know what to say. After all, Shiori was also himself!
Chapter Fifty-Three: The Seal (Part Two)
"Etc--"
Lingmeng said something, and then pulled out a blue wig from somewhere—the kind for women.
"!!!"
When Shido saw the wig, his eyes widened immediately, because it was the same wig he wore when he Shiori.
"Lingmeng, you--"
Seemingly realizing what Lingmeng, Shido quickly spoke up.
But before she could finish speaking, Lingmeng, with a mischievous grin, forcibly put the wig on her.
And so our Shido classmate became Shiori again.
"... Lingmeng, what are you trying to do?"
Touching the wig on his head, Shido asked with a dark expression.
Lingmeng just chuckled and shrugged helplessly.
"Well, I can't Shido to eat Shido's shabby appearance, so let's have the cute Shiori-chan make an appearance!"
As she said those words, Lingmeng's eyes sparkled, as if she had planned it all along.
"I'm so sorry, I'm too ugly! (`Δ')!"
"Heave--"
While Lingmeng was still speaking, Ayame tiptoed and, without saying a word Shido, pressed her Cherry Lips against Shido's.
Shido was startled by Lingmeng's sudden action.
My heart feels like it's pounding with hundreds of fluttering deer.
Carefully feeling the soft, jelly-like texture of the lips, and the girl's delicate fragrance, Shido became somewhat intoxicated.
Perhaps because of what he ate, Shido felt that Lingmeng had a Lemon- like flavor.
Although it tastes a bit bitter and sour at first, it gradually becomes incredibly sweet.
After a few seconds of stillness, Lingmeng finally parted her lips from Shido's.
For some reason, Shido had a fleeting moment when he wished time could stand still at the moment of their kiss.
However, this is impossible.
"Shido... is this the first time you've kissed someone while looking like Shiori?"
Looking into Shido's eyes, Lingmeng asked.
"Yes... yes... what's wrong?"
Shido answered haltingly.
"Hehe, so that means I've already taken Shiori-chan's first kiss~ What a win!" (?>?) Lingmeng stuck out her tongue lightly, her expression as excited as if she had obtained some incredible treasure. "Well... whatever makes you happy." Shido replied awkwardly, while secretly wondering, "Is Shiori's charm really that great?" Just then, Shido suddenly felt something surge into his body. This feeling was the same as when he sealed Tohka; his body felt warm and very comfortable. But the feeling was several times stronger than before. Then, at the same time... At that moment, Lingmeng's Astral Dress began to gradually disintegrate, slowly turning into light particles from top to bottom. Before long, the once magnificent Astral Dress was completely gone. With the disappearance of her Astral Dress, Lingmeng's voluptuous figure was exposed to the air. No! To be precise, to Shido! "I... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Shido hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, Shido face flushed as he spoke. However, even so, the slight gap between his hands made his words instantly lose their persuasiveness. Incidentally, Shido had also removed his wig. "Why are you so nervous? It's just..." "A girl's naked body? I saw that when Shido was sealed Tohka." Lingmeng just gave Shido a deadpan look in response to his reaction. She, the victim, hadn't said anything, yet Shido, the one taking advantage, reacted even more strongly. "Ugh, I knew the Astral Dress would disappear after being sealed, but this is just too perverse! What kind of genius came up with this kind of setting? If this were in an anime, it would definitely be fan service..." Looking at her completely exposed body, Lingmeng muttered speechlessly. While watching someone get sealed and have their clothes ripped off was satisfying, experiencing it herself... This was really frustrating. "Kotori, let me go! I need to check if Lingmeng is alright!" Just as Lingmeng was complaining about the clothes-ripping trope, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door. "I told you not now! Tohka, why won't you listen!" Kotori's voice came through, followed by the sounds of two people struggling outside the door. Then—with a "whoosh"—the automatic door opened, and a beautiful girl with long purple hair and a beautiful girl with red twin tails entered. These two were Kotori and Tohka! "Kotori, Tohka, why didn't you knock before coming in!?" Shido pointed at Kotori and Tohka in shock. "What can I do? Kotori soon as Tohka heard that Lingmeng was being chased by DEM, she insisted on coming in to see her. I'm already doing a great job of stopping her!" Tohka said speechlessly. However, when she saw Lingmeng, who was completely naked, a smile appeared on her lips. "Wow, it Shido that you've successfully sealed her away, Shido? That was fast." "Lingmeng, are you alright?" Tohka turned her gaze to Lingmeng and was instantly dumbfounded when she saw that Lingmeng wasn't wearing anything. Seemingly noticing Tohka's expression, Lingmeng first smiled mischievously, and then put on a show of vulnerability. A pitiful expression appeared on her face. "Waaah, Shido went too far! It was just a kiss, and the next second he stripped me naked." "What!?" Upon hearing Lingmeng's words, Shido looked at her in shock. Lingmeng was clearly trying to ruin him! Although Lingmeng wasn't wrong in a certain sense, speaking in this way could easily lead to misunderstandings. "Toh... Tohka, you misunderstood! It's actually because—" Shido quickly waved his hand to explain, looking at Tohka who was clenching her fists. But before he could finish speaking, Tohka strode up to Shido. She swung her fist directly at Shido. "Shido, you Pervert!" "Ah--!" Then, the next second, Shido let out a cry of pain and flew out. Looking at the unconscious Shido again, Lingmeng just shook her head and smiled. "Well, my life from now on should be quite interesting, right? Don't disappoint me, Shido." And the three ultimate questions that had always troubled Lingmeng —Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?—seemed to have an answer in that instant...----------------I am the dividing line for shifting perspectives. Meanwhile, at the headquarters of DEM in the United Kingdom, our Strongest Wizard Miss Strongest Wizard Ellen was frantically replying to a barrage of harassing phone calls. "Ring ring ring—" The phone rang again, and Ellen quickly picked it up. "Hello, who is this? What? You want to see Isaac? Sorry! He's busy!" She hung up abruptly, sighing helplessly. "This is the fiftieth call today. Ellen, it seems the higher-ups are quite unhappy with your actions this time?" Looking at Isaac leisurely sipping coffee on the sofa, Ellen frowned slightly. Frankly, it was because Isaac had sent troops to arrest Element without the permission of the DEM higher -Isaac ups. The decision to use the elementalist (Element Maker) caused great dissatisfaction among the higher-ups. If the capture had been successful, it would have been fine, but not only did they fail to bring the spirit back, the entire force of about seven hundred Wizard they sent out was wiped out. This included three of the World’s Top Five Wizard: Anlia Finna, Emilia Reylos, and Amabane Shizuna. Keep in mind that there are only about one hundred thousand Wizard in the entire world. On average, each country has only about a hundred Wizard.
Lingmeng stuck out her tongue slightly, her expression one of immense excitement, as if she had obtained some incredible treasure.
"Well... whatever makes you happy."
Shido replied awkwardly, while secretly wondering to himself, "Is Shiori really that charming?"
Just then, Shido suddenly felt something surge into his body.
This feeling was the same as when I sealed Tohka; my body felt warm and comfortable.
However, the feeling was several times stronger than last time.
Then, at the same time, Lingmeng's Astral Dress began to gradually disintegrate, slowly turning into light particles from top to bottom.
Before long, all the originally gorgeous Astral Dress was gone.
At this moment, Lingmeng's voluptuous figure was exposed to the air due to the disappearance of her Astral Dress.
No! To be precise, it's Shido in front of him!
"I'm... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
He quickly covered his eyes with his hands, Shido said with a blush on his face.
Even so, the slight gap between his palms instantly undermined the persuasiveness of his words.
Incidentally, Shido has also taken off his wig.
"Why are you so nervous? It's just a girl's naked body. I've seen that before when I sealed Tohka."
In response to Shido's reaction, Lingmeng simply gave him a deadpan look.
He himself, the victim, didn't say anything, but Shido, who benefited from the situation, reacted even more strongly.
"Ugh, even though I knew the Astral Dress would disappear after being sealed, this is just too twisted! What kind of genius came up with this idea? If this were in an anime, it would definitely be fan service..."
Looking at her completely exposed body, Lingmeng muttered to herself in exasperation.
While watching someone get sealed and have their clothes ripped off is exciting, experiencing it yourself would be a real pain.
"Kotori, let me go! I need to check Lingmeng is alright!"
Just as Lingmeng was still complaining about the "clothes ripping" trope, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I've already said it's not possible now! Tohka, why won't you listen!"
Kotori's voice came through, followed by the sounds of two people arguing outside the door.
Then--
With a "whoosh," the automatic door opened, and a beautiful girl with long purple hair and a beautiful girl with red twin tails entered.
These two people are Kotori and Tohka!
"Kotori, Tohka, why didn't you knock before coming in!?"
Shido pointed at Kotori and Tohka in shock and asked this question.
"What could I do? As soon as Tohka heard that Lingmeng was being chased by DEM, she insisted on coming in to see her. I've already done a great job of stopping her, haven't I?"
Kotori spoke silently.
However, upon seeing Lingmeng in a vacuum, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Wow, it Shido you've successfully sealed it, Shido? That was fast."
"Lingmeng, are you alright?"
Her gaze shifted to Lingmeng, Tohka was instantly dumbfounded when she saw that Lingmeng wasn't wearing anything at all.
Seemingly noticing Tohka's expression, Lingmeng first gave a mischievous smile, then put on a pitiful expression.
"Waaaaah, Shido too far! It was just a kiss, and the next second he stripped me naked!"
"What!?"
After hearing Lingmeng's words, Shido looked at her in shock. Lingmeng was clearly trying to ruin him!
While Lingmeng wasn't wrong in a certain sense, speaking in this way can easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Toh... Tohka, you've misunderstood! It's actually because--"
Shido turned his gaze to Tohka, who was clenching her fists, and quickly waved his hand to explain.
But before she could finish speaking, Tohka strode up to Shido and threw a punch at Shido.
"Shido, you Pervert!"
"Ah--!"
Then, in the next second, Shido let out a mournful cry and was sent flying.
Looking at Shido, who had fallen unconscious again, Lingmeng simply shook her head and smiled.
"Well, my life from now on should be quite interesting, right? Don't disappoint me, Shido."
And the three ultimate questions that had always troubled Lingmeng—
Who I am?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
It seems the answer was found in that instant...
----------------This is a dividing line for shifting perspectives
Meanwhile, at DEM's headquarters in the United Kingdom, our Strongest Wizard, Miss Ellen, was frantically replying to a barrage of harassing phone calls.
"Ring ring ring--"
The phone rang again, Ellen picked it up readily and asked.
"Hello, who is this? What? You're looking for Isaac? Sorry! He's busy!"
Ellen hung up the phone with an air of authority and sighed helplessly.
"This is the fiftieth call today. Isaac, it seems the higher-ups are quite unhappy with your actions this time?"
Looking at Isaac, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking coffee, Ellen frowned slightly.
To be honest, Isaac's decision to send troops to capture Element Maker Make without the permission of the DEM leadership caused great dissatisfaction among them.
If the capture had been successful, that would have been fine, but not only did they fail to capture the elf, the seven hundred or so Wizard they sent out were all wiped out.
Surprisingly, it also includes three of the World’s Top Five Wizard: Angela Finna, Reylos, and Emilia Amabane Shizuna.
It's important to know that there are fewer than 100,000 Wizard in the entire world. On average, each country has only about a hundred Wizard.
