Chapter 203 Progress Confirmation
As it turns out, no matter how much you emphasize lightweight, problems can still easily arise when the quantity increases.
Not to mention that there is one that is quite heavyweight even from a distance.
I barely managed to pull myself out of the encirclement of the three men. I took deep breaths of fresh air and never before had I felt that even bland, tasteless air could smell so sweet and tempting.
"Wow, why does this guy look like he's been wronged!"
Anne was naturally the first to voice her dissatisfaction.
She put her hands on her hips and looked around, only to see the other two people return to their seats with expressions of familiarity. She lost interest, pouted, picked up a bowl full of flower petals, and walked out.
Just then, Shen Xue, wiping away sweat as she walked in, stepped aside slightly until the girl's footsteps faded away. Then, she thoughtfully entered the room: "Why does she look so unhappy?"
"You could tell that too?" I looked up at her in surprise.
Then I got glared at: "Only a piece of wood can be used to install trees."
What the heck is this "tree decoration" thing? And what is this "wood" thing...?
It's amazing how Miyuki has only been here a few days, yet she's already become so familiar with Hikari and the others.
I really don't understand the friendships between girls.
Strangely enough, I thought our icy female swordsman was a lone combat fanatic who didn't make close friends with others, focused on honing her swordsmanship, and sought out opponents everywhere. But unexpectedly, before I could send her back to reality as well, she took the initiative to ask to stay in the miniature garden for a month or two.
When she made that proposal, it really shocked us all. Even the young boy, Ai'an, who was about to be sent back, hesitated. But in the end, he followed the wishes of his temporary guardian, Ms. Juliana, and left after only half a day of rest without lingering.
Hikari, on the other hand, seemed completely unsurprised. After a brief exchange with me, she led Miyuki with exceptional enthusiasm toward the dormitory area located deep in the first-floor corridor of the library, as if she knew the place better than I did.
By the way, Annie seems to have completely turned into Hikari's shadow, always sticking to her whenever she has a chance, unless I'm there at the same time... It's really strange.
Could it be that we developed some special feelings because we slept together a few times during our previous trip?
I, for one, didn't feel that way.
Miyuki seemed to have something to say to Alice. After exchanging a glance, the two informed me and then walked out the door together.
If I'm not mistaken, they probably went to the "fully automated battle analysis and recording arena" that Lena recently installed in the miniature garden... Although I can't figure out why a simple training ground would need such fancy-sounding accessories, and I've never seen them use it anyway.
I looked away and focused my attention back on the handwriting I had just left behind.
Countless written contents and illustrations are spread across every page that is blown by the wind.
It has been almost a month and a half since I last completed the tenth main quest and escaped from the Abyss Mountains.
Despite the many twists and turns that had occurred before, everything seemed calm and peaceful in both my reality and the illusory world within the [Simulated Law Ring].
There were no more unexpected events, no more encounters with prophets, and no more disruptive interference from doomsday cultists. It was as if all those distortions had simply moved away from my sight and perception. Following the information given by the prophet, we successfully progressed to the forty-fifth main quest.
Compared to the reality where most life has vanished in legends, the world within the [Simulated Law Ring] seems exceptionally wonderful.
"Goblins, trolls, orcs and half-orcs, elves living in various different regions, merfolk who live only near the coast, and the legendary, indispensable dragons..."
Counting on his fingers, after finishing the thirtieth mission, Sheng, who was sitting with me on the wet rocks, recounted the many fantastical creatures that would appear before everyone before and after. Finally, he took a deep breath to relieve the stuffiness in his lungs, and stepped barefoot into the churning water droplets: "That's about it."
"That sounds really interesting," I commented.
Sheng shrugged: "Who says otherwise? Even I didn't expect that those beings that only exist in the game would actually be replicated in reality in the same way. I was really shocked when I first saw it!"
"Unlike our smart, wise, and very calm eldest brother, who can remain calm and composed even in that situation without showing any wavering, and can even react immediately!"
I didn't respond to the compliment, but silently gazed at the distant sea, now stained a deep black. This was because my initial reaction was exactly the same as Sheng's, except that I recovered faster and was better at masking my emotions, which prevented Sheng, who was always by my side, from noticing anything amiss.
In the far reaches of the nearshore waters, there are beautiful fish tails that constantly reflect rainbow light under the sunset, darting freely in and out of the still clean water, forming a small semicircle in an arc shape.
The azure magic continuously gathered and expanded in their raised palms, forming the shape of a transparent water sphere. It was then steadily stretched into a line, with the two ends constantly moving closer to each other before silently merging and connecting at one point. The lower end then drooped into the seawater, ultimately transforming into a transparent wall of water, purely constructed of water and magic.
