Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Farewell
After the weekend, Kasumigaoka Utaha has to go back to school.
On Monday morning, she experienced a different school experience than before.
In the morning, Thor made breakfast. When I left the house, Shichen and Nishiki Chitsugu saw me off, and I heard the words "Be careful on the road" which I hadn't heard for a long time.
I clearly didn't feel like going to school when I woke up, but after I left the house, I seemed to be motivated to go to school.
It is indeed different to have someone accompany you. It is warm and cozy, and I have been in a good mood since the morning.
In the past, feeling lonely and alone didn't seem like a big deal, but now that I've just experienced some warmth, I can never go back to my previous life.
It seems like it would be nice to live together like this?
After Kasumigaoka Utaha went to school, the situation in the coffee shop did not change much. There were no acquaintances coming to drink coffee at regular times, and the customers were basically fixed.
Shichen's game room has not been decorated yet, and he plans to decorate it next time he comes back.
The things in his mind have determined this world as the main world. He will definitely travel back and forth to this world frequently in the future, so there is no need to be so anxious.
There is ample time.
The days became stable, and the time allocation also stabilized. Every night he would stay in the study with Kasumigaoka Utaha until midnight. She would write novels while he would read them.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha felt sleepy, Shichen carried her back to her room, and then went back to his own room to sleep with Thor and Nishiki Chitose.
At first, Kasumigaoka Utaha was not sleepy. She even had the idea of staying up all night because of the inspiration she got. It was Shichen who interrupted her forcefully and carried her downstairs.
After a day or two, it became a daily routine.
Thor and Nishiki Chitose went to bed very early. They always fell asleep before Shichen came back, leaving a large space in the middle for him. It was obvious that they both had enough energy to stay up late.
Maybe it's because I went to bed early and followed the time before, so I developed a biological clock and got used to it.
It is indeed easier to fall asleep when you have someone you feel at ease with.
However, since both of them had fallen asleep, it seemed that Shi Chen didn't need to go back to his room to sleep. It didn't matter whether he found a room to sleep alone or with someone.
Not considering it for now.
A few days later, when Shichen opened his eyes in the morning, a mechanical reminder sounded in his head.
[One month has passed, please obtain the target's divine fragments in time.]
[How to obtain: Contact with skin for one minute.]
[Three days later, forced to leave and go to the new world to search for fragments of the godhead.]
After hearing the prompt tone, Shi Chen looked at the familiar ceiling with a frown.
Before he knew it, he had been in this world for more than a month, and the comfortable days passed by very quickly.
The conditions for obtaining the fragments of the Godhead have not changed much, but the forced departure time has been shortened this time.
Shi Chen was very concerned about one thing. Obviously, there were other fragments of the divine nature in this world. Why should he be forced to leave for other worlds?
The things in his mind were obviously urging him to collect the fragments of the godhead as quickly as possible, as if something was chasing him.
There is no way to get the answer by asking.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If Shi Chen is lucky enough to travel through the dimensional world, he will naturally obey the urge in his mind to leave.
He was just forced to leave, and was not forced to do anything else. It just so happened that he also wanted to meet acquaintances from other worlds.
And even if he was not forced, he planned to leave. Not only did he have to avenge Thor as he had promised, but he also needed to go to other worlds to gain power in order to find Frillian.
In this world, he has no way of gaining power.
Three days was enough time for him to say goodbye to the three of them properly. Thor and Nishiki Chitose were actually easy to convince, but the key was Kasumigaoka Utaha, how to find a reason.
Perhaps telling the truth is more appropriate.
Come to think of it, the time agreed upon with Thor has come.
Shi Chen was no longer in the mood to sleep, so he stood up and sat up, and the softness in his arms disappeared.
"Hmm..."
Thor and Nishiki Chitose were awakened by him.
"Lord Chen? What's wrong?" Thor sat up and leaned limply against Shi Chen.
"I'm hungry." Shi Chen reached out and helped her pull up her clothes.
Her shoulders were a little too pink, with a hint of rosy white, and a hint of white arc was visible on the left side, which was a bit irritating to him in the morning.
"Really? Then I'll go cook for Master Chen."
Thor became much more awake, then he jumped off the bed and left the room.
"I'll go help too." At this time, Jinmu Chitsugu also sat up and prepared to get out of bed.
"Wait a moment." Shi Chen put his arm around her shoulders and made her look at him.
"Hmm?" Jinmu Chitsugu blinked and felt happy inside.
"Brother Chen, do you want to do something while Thor is away?"
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Chen flicked her forehead unhappily.
"Hmm..." Nishiki Chitsugu covered her forehead and pouted in disappointment.
"Haha~ I have something important to tell you."
"What?"
"I might have to leave for a while."
"Eh?" Nishiki Chitsugu was stunned.
"leave?"
"Um."
"Brother Chen, where are you going? You're not going to leave us behind, are you?" Jinmu Qianshu quickly hugged Shichen and asked nervously.
"How is that possible?" Shi Chen shook his head and laughed, touching her head: "Have you forgotten how we met?"
"Of course I won't forget it. I'll remember it for the rest of my life!" Jinmu Qianshu shook his head in Shichen's arms.
"But I don't have that ability now. I need to gain strength."
"Brother Chen, you don't have to go. I can protect you, and Thor as well."
"Silly boy, have you ever thought about one thing, if I didn't go to gain power, how would you have met me when you were a child?"
"Eh?" Jinmu Chitose slowly left Shichen's arms and looked up at him in confusion.
"If I hadn't met you as a child, you wouldn't be with me now, and history would have changed."
"It seems like that." Jinmu Chitsuki vaguely understood: "Then what should we do?"
"So, I'm going to find the ability to meet you." Shichen stroked her face and smiled slightly.
"If Brother Chen says that, then I won't be able to stop you, right?" Jinmu Qianshu pouted.
"Haha~ There'll be plenty of time later."
"Then Brother Chen, can you take me with you?"
"Sorry, I can't do that right now."
"Uh... okay."
"Be good and watch over the store with Thor. I should be back soon."
"We agreed that you can't be gone for too long." Jinmu Qianshu hugged Shichen again, hugging him tightly.
"Yes." Shi Chen nodded in agreement.
Although he was not sure when he would be able to come back, it was possible that it would be the same length of time as when he was away, perhaps shorter or longer, but definitely not too long.
There are still fragments of divinity on Kinki Chitose and Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the things in their minds won't allow them to come back after such a long time.
"Brother Chen, can we hug each other for a while longer?" Jinmu Qianshu buried her little face in Shichen's arms and acted coquettishly in a low voice.
"It's more than just a hug." Shi Chen said, lowering his head and kissing her forehead.
"Eh?" Jinmu Chitose suddenly looked up with a smile on his face.
"Brother Chen...can you..."
She tilted her head back and slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.
"No." Shi Chen refused decisively.
"Why?" Jinmu Chitose opened his eyes, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Just bear with it until we meet as children."
"What does it matter?"
"It's very important to me, otherwise I always feel like something is missing."
"Brother Chen is really troublesome."
"Haha~ Do you like it?"
"That's definitely my favorite."
"Really? In that case, I'll give you a little more reward." Shi Chen nodded and kissed Jinmu Qianshu on both cheeks.
Jinmu Chitose loosened one hand, touched her cheek, blinked her eyes, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose.
"Hehe~ Then I'll just bear with it for a while."
"About time, huh? Time to get up and help Thor."
"Hold me for a while longer~" Jinmu Chitose hugged him tightly again.
"How long is a while?"
"One minute? No, three minutes!"
"How greedy."
"It really only took three minutes."
"It's a deal."
"Uh-huh!"
Nearly ten minutes later, the two of them went downstairs, and Thor naturally expressed his dissatisfaction to Nishiki Chitsugu.
However, Nishiki Chitsugu didn't care at all and was smiling like an fool.
Thor didn't understand what was wrong with her and was too lazy to ask her. It was more important to make breakfast for Lord Chen.
When it was almost done, Kasumigaoka Utaha came down on time and changed into her school uniform.
During breakfast, Shichen did not tell Thor and Kasumigaoka Utaha that he was leaving, as he planned to tell them separately.
After breakfast, Thor and Nishiki Chitose cleaned the kitchen, while Shichen sent Kasumigaoka Utaha to the store door.
"I'm leaving."
"Well, be careful on the road."
"I'm not a child." Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
"By the way, I will bring you lunch at noon."
"Well... huh?!"
