Chapter 161 Living with Kotori
Space earthquakes refer to the widespread vibrations of earthquakes in space.
Those are explosions and vibrations whose causes are unknown, whose timing is not fixed, and whose scale of the disaster cannot be determined.
Disappearance and many other phenomena are collectively referred to as disappearance.
This phenomenon was extremely bizarre, as if a monster had suddenly appeared and was wantonly destroying the streets.
This phenomenon first appeared about thirty years ago, when a section of the mainland's center disappeared overnight as if it had been spun out.
In this world, even now, we can see photos related to it in textbooks. After all, the number of dead and injured at the time was about 150 million, making it the greatest disaster in human history.
Moreover, for nearly six months afterward, similar, small-scale events occurred all over the world.
However, no more spacequakes have occurred or been detected since then.
But about five years ago, a spacequake occurred in a corner of the redeveloped Tiangong City, and since then, a series of strange phenomena of unknown cause have occurred.
Of course, during these twenty-five years, humanity did not do nothing.
First, there's the construction of underground shelters, which are present in almost every city. There are also organizations that can predict signs of space earthquakes and even establish disaster recovery units within the Self-Defense Forces.
This organization is a force formed to go to disaster areas and repair damaged facilities and roads, and amazingly, their abilities can only be described as magical.
Because they can restore the streets that have been destroyed to their original state in a very short time, just one night.
However, how they did it has never been made public; it has been kept top secret.
Although the streets can be repaired quickly, this does not reduce the threat posed by the spacequake, and many people will still die in accidents as long as they are there.
"Are you sure you want to support me?" Toki asked Kotori and the others to confirm.
He didn't care about the lives of strangers in this world; compared to them, they were indeed more important.
"Brother Chen, how can you not believe me? Besides, this is an order from above." Kotori Itsuka put the lollipop in her mouth and bit down, laughing freely.
"The person above? Does he already know about me?" Shi Chen frowned.
"Then I don't know."
"Alright, I'll figure it out myself... From now on, I'll be relying on you guys for support!" Shi Chen didn't stand on ceremony and announced directly to everyone present.
Since someone is willing to help for free, he doesn't need to hesitate. He's not unaware of the general situation, and besides, he won't betray his future self.
He has things to do and needs the help of the people in this world, so he might as well lend a hand.
Perfect, there are still some mysteries to be solved.
"Oh~ Leave it to us!" Kotori Itsuka replied with a smile.
After leaving Fraxinus, Shichen followed Kotori Itsuka and was teleported to the foot of a red building.
"Brother Chen, come with me." Kotori Itsuka led Shichen into the building with light steps.
"Where is this?" Shi Chen asked her, puzzled.
"Of course it's our home."
"Our home..."
"Brother Chen shouldn't be without a place to stay, right? Of course he'll stay with me."
Where are your parents?
"I'm on a business trip in the United States."
"Is there no one else?"
"It's just me and Brother Chen~ Aren't you excited?" Kotori Itsuka teased Shichen as she stepped into the elevator.
"You little brat, what's there for me to get excited about?" Shi Chen chuckled and ruffled her hair.
Hehe~
Kotori Itsuka squinted, clearly enjoying herself: "It's been so long since I've experienced Tatsumi-nii's head pat. I miss it so much."
"A head pat...::. Who says it out loud?" Shi Chen shook his head, then patted it again with a smile.
"This was taught to me by Brother Chen."
"Yeah?"
"We're here, come quick!"
When the elevator reached the top floor and the doors opened, Kotori Itsuka excitedly grabbed Tokishi's hand and left the elevator.
The building has one apartment per floor, with a short passageway outside the elevator before the apartment door.
Kotori Itsuka walked up to the door, and with a beep, the door opened.
"Come in quickly."
"it is good."
The room was very spacious and fully furnished, but it was obvious that only one person had lived there.
However, there were men's slippers in the entryway, and they were the perfect size for the time of day.
After changing his shoes, Shi Chen went inside and took a good look around. It was clearly much better than his coffee shop.
"Brother Chen, please make yourself at home. This is your home from now on. I'm going to change my clothes."
"Go ahead."
As Kotori Itsuka walked into the inner room, Tokishi sat down on the sofa in the living room to wait.
He was still a little unaccustomed to it; Kotori Itsuka was too familiar with him. How long had he actually known her? And what had he changed about him?
Most importantly, is Kotori Itsuka still a spirit?
However, Kotori Itsuka also possesses a fragment of divine power, and there are no quests to obtain it directly.
However, it is not available at the moment.
The same situation as Nishiki Chizuka.
He didn't know how to obtain the divine fragments from Nishiki Chizuka's body, but Kotori Itsuka's situation made him seem to understand.
It seems that one cannot obtain it without going back in time.
Since it's unclear when that familiar will awaken, we'll have to rely on the power of that spirit.
The method of dealing with elves in this world is no different from what he used to do; his current task is still to make them fall in love!
Although it was for the sake of Ratatoskr, which he established, the strategy for dealing with the elves had already been decided long ago, or it could be a plan proposed by his future self in the past.
After all, this perfectly aligned with his ideas.
This world wouldn't be right if it didn't date her and make her blush.
Falling in love allows one to discover the beauty of the world, and the reason he was chosen for this task is because he is special.
This is what Kotori Itsuka said, and it's also what the people in Ratatosk said.
Shi Chen knew he was special; he was immune to spiritual damage and angelic harm. No one was more suitable than him, but did the people above know about his abilities?
Perhaps he has other special qualities, but he'll have to find the answers himself.
While protecting the elves is the goal, Ratatoskr isn't truly on the opposite side of humanity; resolving the spacequake is also necessary.
Because they are not yet sure whether the elves can freely control and cause spacequakes, talking to them and persuading them is also part of their mission.
Unfortunately, the existence of AST leads to their hostility towards humans, making it difficult to communicate with them.
AST—AntiSpiritTeam—is a group of modern magicians, more than humans but not quite monsters, equipped with mechanical armor for the purpose of hunting, capturing, and killing spirits.
In contrast to AST, which aims to solve problems at their root, Ratatoskr seeks to integrate them into their own community.
Ultimately, the key is to make them fall in love. Once they like you and are completely devoted to you, they'll become one of us, and we can communicate with them effectively.
Love is truly amazing. Before being hit by the meteorite, I would never have believed in such a thing, but after coming to this dimensional world, it's hard not to believe in it.
"Brother Chen, I'm all changed, how is it?" After changing her clothes, Kotori Itsuka ran up to Tokishi and twirled around proudly.
She changed into her school uniform, a white shirt and pleated skirt, exuding youthful energy. Her hairband was also white, making her look pure and lovely.
"Very cute." Shi Chen gave a thumbs up.
"Really?"
"Why would I need to lie to you?" Shi Chen retorted.
"Hehe~ I believe in Brother Chen." Kotori Itsuka happily jumped into Toki's arms.
Why do you always...?
""
"Brother Chen, I miss you so much." Kotori Itsuka buried her face in his chest and suddenly said.
"Really?" Shi Chen gently embraced her.
Her tone was filled with sadness, as if she had been lonely and waiting for a long time, which made him feel sorry for her.
"Brother Chen, you won't leave me again, will you?" Kotori Itsuka raised her head and looked at him hopefully.
"From now on, I will stay with you." Shi Chen raised his hand and rubbed her head.
"It was a promise~"
"Um."
"Hehe, that's good." Kotori Itsuka buried her head in Tokimitsu's arms again, snuggling against him affectionately.
Why are you suddenly acting so affectionately?
"I'm in my 'acting cute' mode right now."
"You can change modes? What's the difference from before?"
"I was the commander just now, so I had to maintain a certain level of authority."
"But didn't you just jump into my arms in front of everyone?" Shi Chen teased.
"Well, it's because I haven't seen Brother Chen in so long, I couldn't help myself..."
"I see."
"That's it!"
"Okay, speaking of which, why did you change into this school uniform? You didn't wear it just to show it off to me, did you?"
"Brother Chen likes uniforms? Does that mean we'll see them every day from now on?"
"I didn't say that," Shi Chen denied righteously.
"Hehe~ Actually, I have to go to school this afternoon."
"Huh? Didn't a spacequake just happen?"
"There's nothing going on at school, I'm used to it, and today is the opening ceremony."
"Oh, this...."
.
"Hmm... I don't really want to go to school. It's so rare to reunite with Brother Chen."
"It's okay, I won't go anywhere. I'll wait for you at home, okay? You'll see me when you get home from school."
"real?"
"I'd be a dog if I lied to you, okay?"
"good!"
