Chapter 31: Day 31 of Development
Chapter 31
"Me?" Kanako pointed at herself, then put her hands on her hips with a refreshed look. "Okay, I know you're looking for an opportunity to praise me. I understand!"
System: "What do you know?"
"As an 'alien', since you like and admire me so much, I will definitely help you find a solution!" Kanako patted her chest and promised seriously.
"Of course." She moved her lips.
The system shut up and stopped complaining. It knew Kanako's character well. Those seemingly boastful statements were actually promises spoken from the heart.
Ordinary people often laugh it off in their traditional social cognition, and in the adult world, it has long been a white lie that everyone has tacitly accepted, but this is definitely not the case with Kanako.
After all, Kanako, apart from her pranks, is really a person who does what she says in a sense.
"Tengen-obasan, Oji-san, do you need me to do something? Just tell me." Kanako thought to herself, worried that she wouldn't understand if she talked too much.
For her, as long as she doesn't meet someone she hates, she is very happy to lend a hand when she is in a good mood and has free time. Besides, helping Tianyuan solve the problem will not only benefit Tianyuan, but it will also be related to the change of tragic history and can help many people that Kanako cares about.
Kanako heard Gojo Satoru from the future line talk about the result of the "Astral Plasma Incident". In the future of that timeline, there was not only one astral plasma.
The death of Tenriko would not have much impact on Tianyuan's assimilation, it was just a change of options... But even so, Tianyuan still chose to give up assimilation.
This is probably the important point where Tianyuan realized the problem, and it is also what Tianyuan called "breaking fate".
Thinking of this, Kanako nodded as if she had some understanding, supporting Tianyuan's idea: "I have always believed that things like 'fate' are very unreliable. It would be a good idea to cut it off as soon as possible!"
"What you mean is that you don't believe in 'fate', right?" Tianyuan asked.
Kanako answered almost without hesitation: "Of course, I only trust myself and the people I trust."
This sentence sounds awkward, but it reveals a lot of information. Tian Yuan, who has rich experience, nodded slowly, closed his eyes and said, "It seems that you have already regarded this place as your hometown."
"In that case, I'm willing to trust you and reach a cooperation with you." Tian Yuan's old face opened his bright eyes again and said, "What do you think would be a better composition of a new cause and effect?"
"Lord Tengen, is it really okay to let Kanako decide such a big thing alone?" Geto Suguru was a little worried.
Tian Yuan looked at Xia Youjie and replied, "You can't use ordinary people's thinking to explore cause and effect. Otherwise, the deeper you go, the more entangled you become, and it will disrupt your will."
"In other words, this must be the 'alien''s' innate perception talent," Tian Yuan said. "All she can do now is propose a new causal hypothesis. Specifically, how to make this hypothesis come true requires further action."
At this time, Tianyuan still thought that the curse spirit operator in front of him was worried about the safety of the curse world. After all, it was too unreliable to let a little girl make decisions that would affect the world.
Tian Yuan realized that his statement was indeed not precise enough, and quickly added: "Her decision alone cannot change the situation in the world of spells."
Geto Suguru grasped the key point in this sentence and emphasized it: "Willn't the hypothesis proposed by Kanako bring her any constraints or costs?"
Tian Yuan gave a negative answer.
The next moment, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru both sighed deeply, and began to stretch their legs and bodies leisurely.
Gojo Satoru started playing with his messy, blood-stained hair. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me! I thought your backup option after not assimilating with the Astral Plasma was to covet our rabbit!"
He said angrily, "I've been preparing myself mentally for so long. If Lord Tianyuan really made a similar request, I'd have already thought about where to start the attack!"
Tianyuan:?
"Satoru, please be mindful of your behavior and words in front of Lord Tengen." Although he said so, Geto Suguru did not stop his lazy behavior of sitting cross-legged on the ground, and even added, "Kanako, it's just an assumption anyway, there is no cost, just say whatever you want."
"Just say whatever you think, and don't be too formal with Lord Tianyuan." Xia Yujie smiled.
Kanako gave a thumbs-up, revealing two rows of shiny white teeth: "No problem!"
Tian Yuan: “…”
It seems that you don't care about the safety of the magic world or even the world at all!
It turns out the only thing you're worried about is this "alien visitor" right in front of you! Damn it, where's the structure? Where's the structure gone? Give him back the feeling he had just had!
"Ahem." Tianyuan cleared his throat, looked at Kanako, and said kindly, "Have you thought about it?"
"Gojo Satoru and I still have one thing we haven't thought of yet. I plan to come up with something else to make up the three parties," Kanako said.
Tianyuan nodded: "Is this inspiration based on the previous 'Tianyuan, Astral Plasma and Six Eyes' cause and effect?"
"Ah, not really. I just really like the number three." Kanako used her finger as a pen and began to draw in the air. "Look, three sides can form a triangle on a plane."
"And the triangle... is the most stable structure!" Kanako said the classic line from the elementary school math textbook.
He also raised his chin proudly towards Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru and said: Look, I am studying hard!
Tianyuan saw all of this and wanted to say something but stopped himself...he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
The system cast a sympathetic look at Tian Yuan: "I understand. It must be hard to have so many things to say but not be able to express them."
Tian Yuan held his forehead: "...No, I'm fine."
"Tengen, let's count you in." Kanako forgot how to address him and started calling him by his first name again. "How long do you think you can hold out if you don't assimilate? Will twelve years be enough?"
"If it's just about maintaining life, my technique 'Immortality' can drag time to eternity." Tian Yuan said without hesitation, as if he had already taken this situation into consideration a long time ago.
"But as time goes by, the human characteristics in me will gradually dissipate, from my appearance to my human consciousness, and finally I will become an individual close to being non-human."
Tengen thought about it, considering Kanako's understanding, and added, "By then, I will probably become a cursed spirit."
While Tengen was speaking, Kanako's eyes met his without moving, and after he finished speaking, she nodded solemnly - this had become a habit of Kanako's when listening to others, expressing her importance to the speaker in every detail of her behavior.
The most important thing is respect.
No one in particular taught her this, and I don't know when she realized it on her own.
"Not considering the fact that your appearance is getting weirder and weirder, how long can you last before you become completely non-human?" Kanako asked.
"Thirty years." Tianyuan gave an affirmative answer.
"Thirty years... no problem, that's plenty of time." Kanako said confidently, "The new theory of causality is tentatively decided to be 'Me, Gojo Satoru, and Tengen'."
"The fate of causal binding is changed to 'If any two of these three are trapped in an irreversible dilemma, they will inevitably bring the third person to try to resolve the dilemma.'"
Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling very surprised. "I was originally thinking of adding a few words about my own safety... I didn't expect you to take everything into consideration."
Kanako blurted out: "Really? I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking about you at all——"
Respect, but not much.
Tian Yuan interrupted: "Okay, you don't have to say anymore!"
The system sighed: "Master Tianyuan, why do you have to say so much?"
Tianyuan: ...
He didn't care, he didn't care at all about the feeling of being excluded...really!
Tian Yuan is omniscient and omnipotent, but he just can't understand people's hearts! QAQ
Gojo Satoru, who was nearly munching on sunflower seeds from boredom, excitedly raised his hand. "That sounds super interesting... For the first time, I understand what that Kaito Kidd on TV feels like."
"I personally swapped out the precious ancient gem (the old cause and effect) for the new one (the new cause and effect). I really want to see the expressions of those old guys in the general office when they find out. It's really awesome!"
Geto Summer Oil decisively joined in: "Well, I totally agree."
"Tianyuan, 'Alien' and 'Six Eyes', are you sure?" Tianyuan asked.
"It's not 'Rokugan', it's 'Gojo Satoru'." Kanako corrected the mistake seriously.
"Gojo Satoru was designated..." Tianyuan fell into thought. Soon, he guessed the deeper meaning and skipped the question directly. He asked tentatively, "Can you explain the reason?"
"No." Kanako blinked.
"Are you unwilling to explain to me or can't?" Tianyuan asked.
"Of course you can't." Kanako patted Tianyuan's shoulder generously and praised him, "You are quite smart."
"So—have you ever found the 'Dragon Vein', Tianyuan?"
A technical term that the sorcerers had never heard of appeared, but it was not unfamiliar to Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
"Judging from the reaction, there weren't any before... Let's go look for them. I'm not sure if it's because I came to this world, but originally there were no dragon veins in this world. However, recently, the energy of the earth has begun to gather in certain locations."
"That pure energy would be perfect for you to harness, Tian Yuan."
Kanako smiled and said, "I agree."
Gojo Satoru exclaimed: "Wow~"
Geto Suguru politely...but without further ado, he got to the point: "After you find the dragon vein, please, Tengen-sama, research how to use it from the perspective of the world of sorcery."
Tianyuan: ...Are you urging me to work on my own?
Kanako came up and painted a rosy picture for the new worker: "Don't worry, after everything is settled, I promise to send you to paradise."
System: "Don't act like you're going to send Master Tianyuan away yourself!"
"To free you from endless responsibilities, to elevate your soul... let's just call it ascension!" Kanako said, "Ascension!"
Gojo Satoru's tone was even more intense: "Ascension~!"
Geto Suguru said in a rhythmic voice: "Ascension!"
If you can't beat the system, you can only join in: "Ascension, Ascension!"
Tian Yuan gritted his teeth: ...
"It's best to use that energy to change cause and effect." Kanako naturally made a squeezing sound. "The dragon vein energy is enough, right? A small pool of liquid from the dragon vein pond, put into a cannonball, can blow up three entire Earths!"
Tian Yuan probably tacitly agreed to this statement, but then felt a lump in his throat at the three people's rude words. He immediately ordered them to leave: "You can leave now. I will convey the message that assimilation is progressing smoothly and that Tenriko is no longer needed."
"Now that we're here, could you give us some gifts before you go back, Lord Tengen?" Gojo Satoru stretched out his hands and grabbed the air, not forgetting to create some trouble before leaving.
Tianyuan directly opened a barrier and drove the three people out.
When she saw the three people coming out, Tenriko nervously approached them and asked, "Is it over?"
"It's over." Xia Youjie couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his laughter was extremely happy. "Everything is over."
At least for Tenriko, it was a better ending than they had expected.
Geto Suguru: "The days of hiding or being hunted are over, and they will never come again..."
“You can live in this world to your heart’s content.”
Gojo Satoru stretched out his arms and flexed his shoulders. "It's really smelly after staying in here for so long—do you want to go outside and get some fresh air, Riko?"
Tenriko was stunned for a long time, and only came back to her senses when Kanako poked her palm. She held Kanako's hand back, and gathered all the emotions in her heart into her mouth, turning them into a firm response: "Yes!"
Sunshine, woods and lawns.
Tenriko couldn't help but run a short distance, opening her arms to welcome the wind blowing from the mountains, letting the wind blow her long braids high up, and she didn't even care if the hairband fell off.
Yes, everything is over... She doesn't need to accept assimilation, nor will she become Lord Tianyuan. She can return to the junior high school campus to continue her daily life, meet with classmates who have a good relationship with her on campus, and live every day with Kuroi who takes care of her.
Go shopping... Oh, right, she can go shopping anytime! This time, she must take Kuroi with her to the mall for a shopping spree, go to the most famous sweet shop, and definitely not give Kuroi the chance to secretly buy mushrooms when shopping for ingredients!
Her name is Tenriko!
"There is one more important thing - Riko, get out of the way!" Gojo Satoru warned loudly, throwing a white unidentified object high into the air.
The white unidentified object spun perfectly in the air and moved in the direction it was thrown.
At the foot of the mountain, Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu, who had quickly exorcised a large number of tiny cursed spirits, were walking back to the classroom to report. At this time, Haibara Yu, who was admiring the blue sky, suddenly caught a glimpse of a black spot in the sky.
"Nanami-san, what is that?" said Haibara Yu.
Then he exclaimed, "...Wait, isn't that Kanako-san flying in the sky!?"
Nanami Kento looked up instantly, and subconsciously raised his arms, using huge magical power to strengthen his arms.
With a loud "bang!", the steps cracked into several large cracks, and Kanako was firmly caught by Nanami Kento. She immediately ruffled Nanami Kento's neat hairstyle and landed happily on the ground.
"--I'm back!" Kanako announced solemnly.

【Author’s words】
A little respect, but not much (buhi)
Tian Yuan: I am omniscient and omnipotent, but I don’t understand human hearts... Oh, aliens are not considered human beings... Never mind, I just can’t understand it anyway!
Kanako has a social savvy that makes any conversation feel like her own domain...but I think this is based on her belief that no one in the world has a higher status than her.
Look, she said to Tianyuan, "You are quite smart." "I agree." (Pointing)
The ceiling needs this kind of confidence!
