Gu Xinghe's wildly imaginative and unconventional thinking instantly confirmed that the consciousness controlling his body was undoubtedly still Mia's.

She now treats the switching of personalities within the same body like a light switch.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe also discovered that he could successfully read Mia's thoughts—

Is what I've always wanted to become just myself...?

After Mia uttered this thought-provoking sentence, Gu Xinghe noticed a change in the person in front of him.

"Don't worry, I don't feel anything wrong with my body right now."

There was even a feeling that 'the soul seemed to become whole again from a broken state'...

Clearly, the person in front of me has now become Mia.

But Gu Xinghe always felt that the coexistence and "fusion" between Mia and Mia's consciousness was somewhat like the persona theory of "you are me, and I am you".

Whether it's Mia or Mia, they are just different manifestations of her personality.

That's why they now have a feeling that "the soul seems to have become whole from a state of incompleteness".

However, if Mia and Mia in front of you could switch between personalities at will, that would probably be true double the happiness?

It was noticed that Gu Xinghe's expression seemed a bit strange at this moment, as if he was thinking about something odd.

But Mia, who is sometimes more reserved, is also quite considerate and doesn't expose Gu Xinghe's thoughts.

He smiled and said to him with a sense of relief after learning that Mia would not disappear again.

"Speaking of which, I have already completed the oil painting for which my assistant served as the model."

Shall we go take a look now?

In the private studio on the second floor of the castle.

As soon as he opened the door, Gu Xinghe saw the oil painting placed on the easel directly opposite the door—

In the painting, Gu Xinghe is wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

Perhaps because he was more relaxed at home, he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.

At this moment, he was sitting upright on a bench made of red velvet, reading the book in his hands with focused attention and seriousness.

Behind him, the wall decorations in red and gold on the background of the painting exude an understated yet noble style.

Just like the sketch Mia had drawn of him before, he was clearly more mature in the drawing than he is now.

Mia, who possesses memories of her past life, has indeed seen her future self.

"This is the agreed-upon payment, but... I'll need your assistant to do some more work this afternoon..."

While Gu Xinghe was still examining the painting in front of him, Mia held up a "fingertip universe" and said to him.

Mia and Mia's problem has been resolved, and the disappearances in the town have also been solved.

Gu Xinghe, who was thinking this, did not expect that he would have to continue working under such circumstances.

...

On the afternoon of the fourth day after entering the game instance, in the square of Annecy town—

At this moment, Gu Xinghe finally understood—

The so-called "part-time job" is actually Mia choosing to experience being a street painter, just like the previous Mia.

This seems to be a way for Mia, who no longer considers herself to be Mia, to prove herself.

In short, the same method was used: having Gu Xinghe sit on a small wooden chair in front of the easel and pretending to be a customer as a "shill".

But things took a turn for the better shortly after he sat down, while Mia was still enthusiastically drawing on the paper—

In the bustling square, two people stopped in front of Mia's easel.

Judging from their expressions and actions when they walked over, they appeared to be a private local tour guide and a foreign tourist.

As they examined Mia's paintings, Gu Xinghe vaguely sensed that things seemed to have gone beyond his expectations.

The two seemed extremely interested in the sketch portrait that Mia had drawn of Gu Xinghe.

After Gu Xinghe got up and took Mia's painting, they quickly sat down in the chairs and happily became the next customers.

After Gu Xinghe saw the sketch portrait that Mia had drawn for him that he was holding in his hand.

He then looked at the two customers who had volunteered to be "vengeful customers" with an extremely horrified gaze.

The drawing Mia had given him clearly could not be called a sketch at all.

But this was clearly not the unique stick figure style of Mia that he had seen before.

If we had to describe or categorize it, it might be some kind of futuristic science fiction art style?

What's even more alarming is that after those two customers, a steady stream of customers began to come and gather around Mia's small stall, clearly drawn to her creative style.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe finally fulfilled his duties as a painter's assistant, which was a rare occurrence for him.

...

After seeing off the last guest, although Gu Xinghe found Mia's work somewhat difficult to appreciate, he still sincerely praised it.

"Look, aren't you just as good as Mia?"

I remember that time, she and I sat in the square for a whole afternoon and no customers came..."

In the end, the two of them even had to pack up early and stroll around the square leisurely.

"Of course I know that!"

Through Mia's inner thoughts, Gu Xinghe could sense that she had regained a certain self-confidence through painting after being strictly required and rejected by her parents.
