Food is always a good way to bring people closer together. After breakfast, the girl was not so nervous when facing Fang Zheng.

"Well, let me introduce myself first."

After clearing the dishes, Fang Zheng sat in front of the girl and introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Fang Zheng, what's your name?"

“I…I…”

Facing Fang Zheng's question, the girl was a little nervous. She lowered her head and looked at the ground anxiously. After a moment, she spoke in a low voice.

"Four... Four Itono..."

"Yoshino? What a nice name."

After learning the girl's name, Fang Zheng felt relieved. Although the girl looked introverted, shy and timid, as long as she could speak and communicate, it would be fine.

"So...can I ask where this place is?"

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shion was silent for a moment and shook her head.

"I don't know either……"

"Hey? So, is there anyone else in this world besides you?"

“…”

But in response to Fang Zheng's question, Shion still shook her head.

"So, how did you end up here?"

“…”

Still shaking his head.

What's going on?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment. Perhaps sensing Fang Zheng's surprise, Shion carefully raised her head and spoke in a low voice.

“I… don’t know… what happened. When I came to my senses, I was here… There was no one else here except me… I only know that my name is Yoshino, but other than that… I don’t remember anything…”

"So that's how it is..."

At this moment, Fang Zheng finally understood why Yoshino looked like that after seeing him. Just think about it, a girl who lost her memory and was alone in an uninhabited city, and suddenly another person appeared, she would definitely be suspicious about this.

"Is it dangerous here?"

"There is no danger here..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shiono answered softly again.

"But... the other world... is scary..."

"Another world?"

After hearing Shion's answer, Fang Zheng was also a little confused. What is another world? What does that mean?

"Um……"

Perhaps because she felt that Fang Zheng was of the same kind as her, Shion was noticeably more lively than before.

"Sometimes I leave here... and go to another... world, where..."

She raised her hands and gestured, as if she didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"There were so many people there... but they were very angry and they attacked me as soon as I showed up..."

"Attack you?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at Shion again. Her petite figure, pitiful eyes, and delicate and cute face like a doll would make anyone want to protect her. How could someone attack such a weak and pitiful girl? Could those people be of the same race as the lunatic in Yharnam?

"Do you know why they attacked you?"

"I have no idea……"

Having said that, perhaps remembering the battles she had experienced, Yoshino couldn't help but curl up her body and tremble.

"I don't know why they want to bully me... I didn't do anything..."

"I see."

Seeing the trembling girl in front of him, Fang Zheng reached out and touched her head.

"Okay, stop talking. I believe you are a good kid and you will never do anything to hurt others... So, what happened after that? Have you never been to that world again?"

In Fang Zheng's opinion, a timid and introverted child like Yoshino would definitely not go to that world if she was bullied. However, he did plan to go to that world to take a look. According to Yoshino, there were many people in that world, so there should be something to discover there.

But what surprised Fang Zheng was that in response to Fang Zheng's words, Shion shook her head again.

"No... I went to that world several times... and was attacked every time..."

"How many times have you been there?"

Fang Zheng was quite surprised to hear this answer. This child looked so introverted and fragile, but he actually had the courage to go to that world several times while being attacked?

"Well... I don't want to go either, but..."

Having said that, Yoshino once again tightly grasped the hem of her skirt.

"But... I don't know why, but every once in a while, I will automatically disappear from this world... It's like I fell asleep... and when I open my eyes again... I appear in that world..."

"In other words, you can't control this process yourself?"

"……Um……"

Seeing Shion nod again, Fang Zheng finally understood. This girl did not have the ability to travel on her own. On the contrary, she seemed to be forced to travel between the two worlds. The time and place of travel were completely random. In other words, she might be talking to Fang Zheng at this moment, and Shion might disappear from here the next moment, and then appear in the world she mentioned "with many people".

I see. For now, this is all the information we can get.

After sorting out Shion's words in his mind, Fang Zheng has already formed a rough judgment of this world. Obviously, this world is not the real world in his cognition. It is very likely that the world with "many people" that Shion mentioned is the real world. As for why Shion can freely shuttle between these two worlds, and why the people in that world want to attack her, it is still unclear. But according to Shion's statement, it seems that there is no way to actively escape from this world, and one can only passively choose to move through it.

"So, if you can, could you show me around?"

Seeing the girl looking a little uneasy, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then made a request.

"In fact, I just came to this world from somewhere else. To be honest, I didn't expect to encounter something like this... If possible, can you show me around?"

"sure!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Shion smiled very happily. Perhaps it was because she had always been alone, and having someone with her at this moment was enough to make this shy and timid girl happy.

The rain was still falling, but neither Shion nor Fang Zheng seemed to care. Shion's clothes seemed to function as a raincoat, and for Fang Zheng, he only needed to think about it to completely isolate his clothes from the penetration of rain, so it was naturally not a problem.

But... to be honest, this city really hasn't gotten any better. And the places that Shiono took Fang Zheng to were basically some of her favorite places, such as empty parks, empty playgrounds, empty train stations, etc. According to Shiono, when she was in this world, she basically found a comfortable place to sleep every day. In the other world, she was always busy escaping from those who were chasing her.

"In front is..."

Just when Shion was about to take Fang Zheng to another place, she suddenly stopped and then widened her eyes in surprise.

“——”

At the same time, Fang Zheng heard a strange sound in his ears, which was similar to the sound of electricity emitted by headphones after being disturbed, but it was deeper. At the same time, he saw that the space around Shiono began to expand as if it was distorted by a funhouse mirror!

"Fang, Brother Fangzheng..."

Noticing something strange around her, Shiono reached out her hand towards Fang Zheng in surprise.

"I, I don't want to disappear..."

If it were in the past, Shion probably wouldn't be so nervous, but today was different. For the first time in this world, she met a gentle and reassuring person. She finally made her first friend, but now, she had to leave here and go to that terrible world!

"Hold my hand tight, Yoshino!"

At this moment, Fang Zheng also hurriedly reached out and grasped Shion's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for you!"

As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the space around them suddenly expanded, and the next moment, the two figures disappeared along with the space barrier that had shrunk again.
