"I want to go see Dad! I want to go see Dad! I haven't seen Dad for a long time!"

In the Kingdom of Gospel, in the Isu Palace, Diya looked at the noisy little witch Liz in the mirror, and exchanged glances with the White Queen, Black Butler, Red Death and other sisters, feeling quite helpless.

She couldn't log into the virtual world for a full month and a half. Not to mention Liz, Diya and the others were also a little depressed. After not replenishing Ash's energy for so long, she had no energy to handle state affairs. During the worst days, she even played with building blocks all day to relieve her boredom, but as she played, she would think of the time when Ash played with her, and she became more and more irritable.

In theory, it is not impossible to bring Lisa into the virtual world. After all, it has been tried many times before. It's just that the situation has changed. In the past month and a half, a lot of things have happened, such as the explosion of the Kongmen magic spirit, An Nan began to adjust the boundaries of the gospel system, and the initial results of the miracle of "the lower to the upper" have been achieved.

Although Diya cannot control the Gospel Spirit at this time, she has been able to disperse the spiritual influence of the Gospel Spirit to all citizens through the medium of "upset of the superiors", making them almost immune to the negative effects of the spirit possession.

Simply put, she no longer needed to hide the fact that the witch was Lysdiya, and she could tell Ash the truth.

But Diya was hesitating.

She has been thinking, is it really necessary to change her current stable interpersonal relationships and add more bargaining chips to herself?

Diya is actually very satisfied with the current situation. They are still teammates and can still explore the virtual world together every day. She doesn't have as many desires as Jian Ji, maybe because she has gained too much from Ash, or maybe because she doesn't want Ash to be sad.

In fact, it is also possible that she is a little afraid of Fiora.

Obviously, she is older than Fiora, and her social status is definitely higher than Fiora, but every time she sees that touch of red hair, Diya will subconsciously become timid and obediently acknowledge Fiora's absolute status.

And if you think about it carefully, what will she get if she confesses that the witch is Lisdiya?

Is it good news to have Ash come back? But even if you don't tell him, he would have come back for Liz anyway.

Make Ash like her more? To be honest, Diya would rather maintain the pure love now than mix it with family affection. This is what she is most worried about. If Ash can't get over it and can't accept falling in love with his daughter's sister, then Diya will really have to respect Jian Ji for the rest of her life - respect for her stepmother.

On the contrary, continuing to conceal it can maintain the current relationship. Even if he has to confess, he has to wait until Ash comes back to tell the good news. By then, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

That's why Diya is so worried about Liz: Liz already knows that the 'inferior overthrow' strategy has taken effect. If she is allowed to enter the virtual world, she might unscrupulously hug Ash and call him daddy, directly turning the virtual world into a stage for unpredictable fate. The direction of their relationship will become confusing.

As for asking Liz not to expose herself, it was meaningless. Liz would say "OK, OK", and then turn around to think about whether to rub her face or her chest first when she saw Ash. She was a little devil personality created by Diya herself. Selfishness and willfulness were her nature. As for making her give up her core demands for the sake of her sisters, she did not have the function of "sorry" that hindered her survival from the beginning.

But it was not good not to take Liz in. After all, if they didn't take her in today, what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the rest of the time? If they didn't take her in all the time and didn't let Liz see Ash, then they would be prepared to welcome Liz's early rebellious period - the sisters could go to see their father, but she couldn't go. Liz couldn't stand this kind of differential treatment the most. It would be strange if she didn't hate Diya and the others.

So after thinking about it, Diya looked at the White Queen and others and said seriously: "Lis, I will never take you into the virtual world to see Ash again."

Liz was startled, then she rubbed her eyes and burst into tears.

"But I will continue to keep this young body now." Diya said, "Ash loves the little girl Liz, and doesn't know the grown-up Liz Diya. When Ash comes back, we will give our bodies to you and let you continue to be Liz for a month. You can act like a spoiled child, play as much as you want, and enjoy your time with Ash."

"How about you stay with Ash for a month while we recover our adult bodies?"

Liz immediately raised three fingers: "Three years!"

The White Queen went over and punched Liz on the head: "Your offer is too much!"

"One and a half months!"

“One year!”

"One and three quarters of a month..."

After some intense negotiations, the "Liz Time" was finally set at three months. If Ash returns to the Gospel Kingdom, this body will be taken over by Liz, and it will not be until three months later that Diya can use the aging skill to return to her normal body a year ago.

Finally, after pacifying Liz, Diya heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing that the time was almost up, she lay down on the bed and waited to connect to the virtual world. At this time, An Nan, wearing a purple gauze pajamas, came in, humming a song while applying skin cream, and then lay down on the bed and hugged Diya.

"Did something good happen? Why are you so happy?" Diya asked.

"Banji called me mom today." An Nan laughed, "Hehehe, when he regains his memory, I can make fun of him for this for a long time."

"Hey!?" Diya asked in surprise: "Will he call me sister?"

"Sure, but you have to call him sister hundreds of times first." An Nan shrugged. "I don't mind. Anyway, he has taken care of me since I was a child. I have no psychological pressure to call him mother hundreds of times - I have even wanted to do so for a long time."

"I also regard Panji as my sister!" Diya said, "Are you happy all day just because of this?"

"Not really." An Nan said, "It's just... well, let me put it this way, I have a friend A, she likes B, but A and B are not together. A recently found out that B has a C, and B and C have a very close relationship."

"But according to B, C should be a man, but when A meets C, he finds out that C is actually a woman! Not only that, A and C will have to live together for a long time. Your Majesty, guess what will happen?"

Diya guessed: "Argument?"

An Nan took Diya's hand, applied hand cream to the back of her hand, and said, "The word quarrel is too light. I think war is more appropriate. You don't know the scene on the first night they met. It was simply magnificent... In short, it was very beautiful."

Diya nodded as if she understood. She thought for a moment and asked, "An Nan, I recently saw a story in a picture book. There are two girls and one boy in the story. Their relationship is like this..."

"…What do you think, should the princess confess or continue to hide it?"

"Keep hiding it." An Nan said, "Interpersonal relationships are like sawing wood. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it gets worse. There are arguments and conflicts, but there is also warmth and comfort. But overall, it will develop in depth. The longer you saw, the closer the relationship will be."

"And confessing that you have another identity is like using two saws to saw at the same time. It may increase efficiency, but it may also conflict with each other and damage the saws."

"Princess, since you can easily defeat the opponent, why bother to make trouble?"

Diya nodded heavily, "An Nan is right."

"What's the ending of the story?" An Nan was curious. "Is it a confession or a cover-up?"

Diya was about to speak, but suddenly her soul was pulled, so she said, "I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."

The soul connected to the virtual world, and the consciousness sank into the Ruby Mountain. The witch slowly opened her eyes, and the blood-red Ruby Mountain came into view.

Pop.

Diya turned her head and saw the red-haired girl throwing herself into Ash's arms.

Ash was nearly knocked over by Sword Lady, who hugged her and spun her around a few times. Then the two looked at each other and hugged each other tightly, trying hard as if they wanted to rub the other into their bodies, constantly asking questions that didn't exist at all.

"I'm ready." Sonia whispered in his ear, "You can come to Fanxing to find me anytime."

Ash was startled and asked, "What are you ready for?"

"I'm ready for you to stay with me." Sonia said seriously, "Or I'll leave with you for a while."

"But your studies, your career, and your—"

"So I said, I'm ready." Sonia exhaled, "Before you come, I will continue to prepare, ready at any time. But we are not leaving forever. When we stand at the pinnacle of magicians, we can go wherever we want."

Ash blinked. Knowing Decree No. 51, he naturally understood how determined Sword Princess was. He couldn't help but feel a little sad and touched. He pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "I—"

"Wait, wait, wait."

Diya came over and pushed them both away, then looked at Ash and said seriously:

"Ash, I'm actually Lisdiya."
