The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 792 - 792

This was a perfectly legitimate reason, one even Vatler firmly believed in, and she herself certainly held this conviction."However, since we're going to cause trouble, it's only reasonable to monitor the island's movements, right? Accidentally catching a glimpse of him would be within expectations, wouldn't it?"

...

Situated in the subtropical ocean, Demon Sanctuary Island enjoyed clear weather for most of the year. Due to direct sunlight, temperatures remained above 20 degrees Celsius even in winter.

Since moving to Demon Sanctuary Island, Eiji had never worn a winter coat again. Even in the depths of winter, a simple jacket was enough.

"Natsuki-chan, give me money!"

Early in the morning, Eiji barged into the living room, boldly demanding money from his guardian.

"Your allowance has already been deducted entirely."

All the furniture in the room had been adjusted to shorter dimensions to accommodate her height.

The loli guardian, seated on the low sofa, sipped the black tea she had brewed herself with a satisfied smile, while coldly rejecting Eiji's request.

"By the way, how many months ahead has my allowance been deducted?"

"Five months."

"Then advance me the allowance from five months from now!"

"Has your face finally thickened enough to block silver-iridium alloy bullets?"

Natsuki Minamiya smiled at him.

"It's not impossible to get an advance. How about charging several times the interest for each month advanced?"

"Why don't you just go rob someone?"

"Robbing people isn't as profitable as this!"

Natsuki Minamiya snorted through her nose, clearly unwilling to give him any money.

"You're from a prestigious family, and this entire apartment building is your personal property. Is it really necessary to be so petty with me?Eiji retorted with a subtle expression.

Natsuki-chan was a wealthy woman.

But unfortunately, this wealthy woman was different from previous ones—she couldn't be won over.

Unlike Kanata or Nero, who would make grand promises like "I'll cover all your future expenses" after just a few sweet words from him.

Of course, Eiji wasn't interested in Natsuki-chan either.

What's so great about lolis?

Aren't older sisters much more interesting?

I'd rather have wild fun with Nina than flirt with Natsuki-chan!

At least Nina can transform freely, allowing any kind of play. With Natsuki-chan's figure, to be honest, when she's not speaking, Eiji always felt like she was turning her back to him!

"Thump!"

Natsuki Minamiya's expression turned cold as she struck him with a folding fan.

"What disrespectful things are you thinking about?"

"How dare you make false accusations!"

"Your eyes narrow whenever you're plotting something. Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

"R-really?"

Eiji's gaze drifted evasively.

Damn, he didn't even know he had that habit!

"Sigh, Natsuki-chan, you're guilty of a crime!"

Eiji let out an exaggerated, theatrical sigh.

"What did you say?"

Natsuki Minamiya frowned, her face full of disbelief.

"That's right, think about it. Since I have no allowance, if I want to spend money, I'll have to find someone to pay for me, right? Isn't it your fault that others suffer such losses because you refuse to give me an allowance?"

"Get out!"

Natsuki Minamiya's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

She grabbed a stack of bills that had somehow appeared in her hand and threw them at Eiji's face, unable to stop herself from roaring at him.

"Got it!"

Eiji caught the banknotes and cheerfully left the house.

"Haa..."

Nangong Nayue rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh.

Ever since adopting this kid four years ago, she hadn't had a single good day!

This little brat was constantly scheming against her, and their daily arguments had become routine!

He never stopped to think about who had worked so hard to protect him back then!

"If it weren't for me, you would have... you wouldn't even have the chance to argue with me!"

Nangong Nayue muttered under her breath, her words barely audible.

...

In the beginning, Eiji actually had no freedom.

Nangong Nayue personally escorted him to and from school every day. After school, he was immediately sent home. He had no right to go out on weekends and could only stay inside the large apartment building all day. There was even a curse power barrier sealing off the surroundings, making it no different from being in prison.

And the one who had imprisoned him was none other than Nangong Nayue herself.

Eiji was very indignant about this. He reasoned with Nangong Nayue every day, trying to fight for his legitimate rights.

That being said, Eiji held no resentment, because that was the price of being saved by Nangong Nayue.

He gained the right to go out after school and on weekends two years ago.

He had fallen ill, and because Nangong Nayue was busy with her Attack Mage activities and wasn't home, he couldn't even reach her by phone. He called for an ambulance, but the hospital staff were blocked by the curse technique barrier. Without timely treatment, he became seriously ill and had to stay in the hospital for half a month.

After learning what had happened, Nangong Nayue immediately removed the curse technique barrier. For a long time after that, she didn't refuse any of Eiji's requests.

The right to go out was obtained at that time.

After that, the daily reasoning sessions unknowingly turned into daily arguments.

Eiji touched the face mask and sunglasses on his face, making sure they were properly in place and not revealing any of his true appearance, before walking out of the apartment building's main entrance.

"Huh?"

As soon as he stepped outside, he suddenly paused.

His brow slightly furrowed as his gaze swept around.

"Someone's watching me?"

For a brief moment, he had sensed an intense stare.

But there was no such gaze in the surroundings.

The feeling of being watched flashed by and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Pretending not to have noticed, Eiji nonchalantly walked onto the street.

"Hey, it's me."

Midway, a ringtone sounded.

Eiji opened his smartphone, and upon seeing the caller number, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Master, MAR is making a move!"

"I know, I'm on my way."

Eiji hung up the phone and quickly headed towards the direction of North Island on the artificial island.

At the same time.

In an empty basement, countless insulated cables were tangled around metal structural materials, creating a chaotic space reminiscent of the inside of a living organism.

An astonishing chill filled the basement.

Located underground in the MAR research institute, this was an airtight block isolated by the most advanced methods. The quiet, dark scene was like a hall housing a demon, a place ordinary researchers absolutely wouldn't dare to set foot in.

At some point, white mist began to swirl in the basement.

The mist grew thicker, gradually coalescing into a human form.

Brown long hair, dressed like a female assassin, her tense expression reminiscent of a spy movie protagonist infiltrating an enemy base. In her hand, she held a crossbow loaded with a silver stake-like weapon.

"Found it!"

Veldiana reached the deepest part of the basement.

A massive ice coffin lay horizontally there, and at the sight of it, tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

Inside the ice coffin slept a petite, fairy-like girl, curled up with her legs held close.

Without a word, she raised the crossbow in her hand.
