“…Sorry, I was just kidding.” Xia Zhi immediately admitted his mistake.

Seeing this, Tokisaki Kurumi stopped caring about it and withdrew her gaze contentedly, lowering her head to look at the coffee in her hand. However, under the rising steam, her fair cheeks had a barely detectable blush.

After coughing lightly, she brought the topic back to the topic: “To be honest, if it wasn’t for Mr. Xia Zhi, I might not have noticed the incongruity and wouldn’t have been able to recognize you so quickly.”

In fact, Xia Zhi was just thinking, since this space-time will pull elves from other singularities in, given the special nature of Tokisaki Kurumi as a time elf, maybe the one pulled in might be her real body?

It’s just that it seems now…

Taking his eyes away from the pocket watch hanging on her chest, Xia Zhi got confirmation… yes, it was the Kuang San who had been in contact with him all along.

or……

Xia Zhi shook his head gently, and suddenly realized something…

Unlike the feeling I had when I met Kotori and the others, after meeting Kurumi, I felt a lot more relaxed.

Perhaps it was because she had always been by his side during the previous journey. Although they were both spirits, the girl’s status on his side was slightly different from that of Kotori and the others.

When facing Kotori and the others, I can’t help but pay attention to the mysteries surrounding them and think about all the doubts I have had so far.

But in front of Tokisaki Kurumi, what he subconsciously thought of was discussing and sharing with her… No matter whether she could help him in the end, at least he felt that he could tell her about the things that had been bothering him for a long time.

This feeling is more like facing “comrades-in-arms” who fight side by side with you.

…Since when did she become such a special existence in my heart?

Looking at the black-haired elf girl opposite him, Xia Zhi couldn’t help but recall what she said when she saw him –

“You look distressed. Are you having any headaches?”

The subtext is also saying… do you need my help?

“what happened?”

Putting the pocket watch back into her clothes, Tokisaki Kurumi noticed the boy’s gaze and looked at him puzzledly.

“…No, it’s nothing.”

Xia Zhi shook his head again, paused for a moment, and called out to the girl again:

“Kuang San.”

“Hmm?” The girl took a sip of coffee and responded.

“Nice to see you again,” he said softly, smiling.

Tokisaki Kurumi was slightly stunned, and the movements of her hands paused slightly.

After a moment, she tilted her head slightly and asked nonchalantly, “I should answer, is it an honor for me that Mr. Xia Zhi feels this way?”

“Just answer whatever you want.” Xia Zhi replied.

“In that case…”

Tokisaki Kurumi put down the coffee in her hand, took a deep breath, and smiled again:

“Well, I’m very happy too.”

I just don’t know which one she was referring to, whether it was being able to meet again here, or simply being able to hear the boy say this.

…….

Chapter 1220 How to Become a Time Management Master (

Now that Kuang San has roughly noticed it, it will be much easier to explain it next.

Xia Zhi briefly outlined the current situation to the girl.

“I see……”

After listening to his explanation, Tokisaki Kurumi nodded thoughtfully.

“In other words, is it the result of something similar to those magical little objects that Mr. Xia Zhi used before?”

“Who knows.” Xia Zhi gave an ambiguous answer.

It’s not about the girl’s understanding of abnormality, but… maybe she is not an object.

He thought to himself.

“… In other words… this is the world of the summer solstice…”

On the other hand, without paying too much attention to his unclear answer, the girl came to the window, looked at the new world outside the window, and muttered to herself.

Xia Zhi came back to his senses, looked at the elf girl who was staring out the window in a trance, and called her doubtfully:

“Kyouzo?”

“……nothing.”

Tokisaki Kurumi took a deep breath, turned around and looked at him and asked with a smile: “Don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”

good chance?

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

“Now that everyone has come to this world, don’t you think it’s a perfect opportunity to take advantage of this time to catch all the remaining elves and conquer them all in one fell swoop?” Tokisaki Kurumi answered and explained in a matter-of-fact tone.

Is this a different multi-threaded strategy than before? Thank you for your confidence in me.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

And speaking of all the remaining elves…

“Including you?” he asked.

When Tokisaki Kurumi heard this, she opened her eyes wide in surprise: “Ah la la, I didn’t expect that Mr. Xia Zhi has always been thinking about me. It really makes me happy and shy.”

She said she was shy, but there was no sign of shyness on her face.

“But…”

After a pause, the girl smiled again:

“Strategies are useless to me.”

“…After all, I am just a clone.”

Compared to the hint last time, this time he said it directly in front of me.

“Personally, I don’t really care about that.”

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi said: “In my eyes, you are all ‘Tokisaki Kurumi’.”

This was not an attempt to comfort or say anything nice, he was just stating a fact, at least that’s what he thought, just as if Natsuori and Youori were both “Kitahara Natsuori” in his eyes, his sisters.

The so-called definition of existence sometimes depends solely on a change of perspective…not to mention that, as long as he wants, he can make this statement an objective reality at any time.

Hearing his words, Tokisaki Kurumi was slightly stunned for a moment, and after a moment she smiled again and said:

“Mr. Xia Zhi is really not picky.”

It sounds like I’m saying that being hungry means being able to eat anything… Is she including herself in this? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

“But this is not the important thing. After all, I can’t let you waste your precious time on me.” The girl shook her head slightly.

Although Xia Zhi does not think that his time is precious, it is better to say that what he lacks the least is time.

On the other side, after a pause, Tokisaki Kurumi changed the subject:

“Besides, there is no other way if you don’t say it clearly.”

In the boy’s puzzled eyes, she spread her hands and explained: “I can’t use “Angel” anymore.”

Unable to use Angel?

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

Before, Tokisaki Kurumi had explained to him that due to her previous cooperation with the sacred tree, and the fact that the original space-time barrier was formed based on the power of her and the sacred tree, she could make any “self” use the power of “angel” at will as long as it was within the range of the space-time barrier.

But now she says that she can’t use the “Angel”… Is it because the original time and space node “outside” is not covered by the barrier, or is it because the current world has isolated her from her original body?

“so……”

Unconsciously, Tokisaki Kurumi came to Xia Zhi’s side, bent down slightly and moved closer to him, gently touched the corners of his slightly raised pink lips with her fingers, and asked with a seductive voice, “I am just an ordinary person now… Whatever Mr. Xia Zhi wants to do to me, I can’t resist~”

Is this also part of the “no need to waste time” thing?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and turned his gaze away from the whiteness in front of him as if nothing had happened, looked at Kuang San’s cheek and asked back: “You knew that, but you still stood so close to me?”

“Oh, could it be that Mr. Xia Zhi is moved?” The girl blinked.

Regardless of whether you are moved or not, you can’t resist whatever I want to do to you, right?

…By the way, I don’t know if it’s Xia Zhi’s illusion. I always feel that compared to before, she seems to be in a much more relaxed mood now?

Tokisaki Kurumi seemed to realize this as well. She chuckled and returned to her seat. She looked at him and asked with her head tilted slightly:

“So, what is Mr. Xia Zhi’s decision?”

Although I am a little moved, but…

“Ms. Kuang San may have misunderstood. I am not that kind of person.” Xia Zhi said righteously.

Misunderstand?

At 920, Kurumi lowered her head and looked at herself, then quickly reacted. She glanced at the boy opposite her, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her cheeks.

“…I meant about the other elves.” She looked away as if nothing had happened.

Oh, this one…

Xia Zhi coughed twice in embarrassment.

Back to business. He felt that the most important thing now was to understand the unknown anomaly… But as Tokisaki Kurumi said, these two things did not conflict, and he could do multiple things at the same time.

…Of course, I’m not referring to the strategy line.

“Then…how about we start with Honjo Nia?” Seeing that the young man agreed, Tokisaki Kurumi thought for a moment and gave a suggestion.

“Why her?” Xia Zhi asked.

“If you want to start with your sister, I don’t mind.” The girl gave this answer.

She’s not…well, she’s my sister now.

However, this is not a deduction in terms of priority, right? After all, if you count it, Xia Zhi should be the first person to like me. In other words, the first person I “conquered” was also my sister… uh

…It was not until this time that Xia Zhi suddenly realized the above fact

…….

Chapter 1221 An Unexpected First Encounter in the Rain and Snow

As one of the few pure auxiliary elves, Honjo Nia has a very special “Angel” ability. Its strong intelligence search ability can make it play a big role in any subsequent events. Even from the perspective of practicality, it should be ranked first.

Not to mention, Tokisaki Kurumi is more familiar with her, which will be much more convenient in many aspects.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, starting with the second sub-item of this article is the best choice.

That was originally the plan.

However, when Xia Zhi finished discussing things with the girl and drank coffee and came out of “his own home”, he felt something falling on his face, and it felt cold.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky outside, which had darkened without him noticing, and the drizzle that was gradually falling.

“It’s raining?”

I remember that when Kotori went out in the morning, it seemed like she didn’t bring an umbrella?

Let’s pick her up after school…

“boom–!”

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking this, a sudden loud roar in the distance forcibly pulled his thoughts back. He turned his head to look in the direction of the loud noise, but he only saw the dust in the sky stirred up by the roar in the distance, and the white mist slowly rising like ice fog…

……

“Huh…heh…”

The girl gasped violently, covering her arms and struggling to get up from the ground.

it hurts……
