The rainbow wave lasted for a full minute. When everything ended and there was no more light flow, Diya immediately looked at the Holy Grail in her hand.

Seeing that there was not a drop of blue liquid left, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and shouted: "Viewer——"

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Wherever Diya looked, she saw urban buildings painted in various colors. The floor tiles were gradient colors, the walls were thick and dark, the houses were like abstract oil paintings, and the whole city was so dirty that it looked like it had been painted by tens of thousands of barrels of paint.

But the point is, she found that her position had also changed! Perhaps the complicated magic realm upgrade blinded her senses, and Diya didn't realize that she was washed away by the rainbow wave!

Ash disappeared again.

Diya suddenly felt a little breathless, as if her heart was being tightly grasped, and she felt so uncomfortable that her hair began to turn dirty. She squatted on the side of the road next to the lamppost, hugging her knees with her hands, and suddenly felt a little cold.

It's like this again, always.

They finally met, but separated so quickly, as if fate didn't want them to meet. Last time it was the All-Knowing Weaver who took him away, who would it be this time?

I clearly haven’t said a lot to him, haven’t hugged him properly, and have a lot of things to do...Why should I pretend to be mature and not hold his hand? Otherwise, I would definitely hold him and not let go.

Even if she can only be a daughter, even if she is just a family member, as long as I can be with him, then everything is fine——

"Witch, are you feeling unwell?"

Diya raised her head suddenly and saw Yaxiu squatting in front of her, looking at her with concern: "Is this the effect of the rainbow wave just now? Let me help you heal it and see."

"No, I'm not..." Diya's voice became smaller and smaller, and she obediently accepted Ash's treatment. In order to avoid triggering the mysterious chain, Ash could only cast "Music Sword" by touching Diya, and because Diya looked like she had a brain problem, Ash naturally rubbed her head to cast the spell.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Better."

Although she said that, Diya did not stand up. She preferred the perspective of squatting. "Where did you go just now?"

"I was rushed into the store. I pushed the door open and saw you squatting on the side of the road." Ash looked around: "Could Yinzhi have taken the opportunity to escape? Should we go look for her?"

Diya didn't want to see Yinzhi, the dazzling light bulb, so she immediately said, "I still feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest for a while."

"All right."

Ash sat down next to the lamppost, and Diya followed suit and sat next to him, shoulder to shoulder. She had often dated Ash when Sword Princess wasn't paying attention in the Far Away Space before, and she had slept with Ash in her arms countless times in real life, but now that Ash was sitting next to her, Diya's heart was beating wildly, and she felt nervous and uneasy.

She glanced at her rainbow chalice and said quickly, "Just now in the rainbow wave, I used the chalice to collect the color of time."

"I collect soul colors, too."

"Here you go." / "Come and drink it."

Ash and Diya looked at the Holy Grail being handed to each other and were slightly surprised.

Ash didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do I need time color? I don't have many time magic spirits, and my current realm is more than enough."

"Have you forgotten that I am Queen Yisu? When you reply to the gospel, I will naturally use the power of the whole country to prepare a complete set of time magic for you." Diya was rich and generous: "I actually wanted to help you collect sword colors, but my swordsmanship level is not silver, and I can't even distinguish sword colors, so I had to choose time colors. The time faction is a very rare magic faction, it won't hurt if you improve it a little more!"

"Of course there is no harm, but have you forgotten that your realm upgrade will also be shared with me." Yaxiu smiled and said, "If the benefit of my upgrade is 1, then if you upgrade, our joint benefit will be 1.8."

"Even if there is no such reason, I will never snatch such precious resources." He said: "If I was willing to give you resources such as experience orbs in the past, it was because the overall benefits were higher. The stronger you are, the more expected benefits I can get. But I don't know since when, I no longer care whether I can get benefits from your strength. As long as you can become better and better, that's fine."

Diya patted her head. It had been a long time since she explored the virtual world with Yaxiu, and she really forgot this.

But after hearing what Ash said next, she said faintly, "Is it because of Sword Princess?"

Ash glanced at her and thought for a moment: "Considering the timing, it should be because of you."

Diya was startled: "Me?"

"To be precise, it was Liz." Ash smiled slightly: "The first person I was willing to selflessly dedicate myself to was the naughty little girl who always kicked me off the bed. I don't care whether my efforts will be rewarded, but as long as I can see Liz happy, I think it's all worth it."

"But you didn't even buy her ice cream." Diya pouted.

"It's not good for children to eat too much."

"Liz is indeed a child," Diya said softly, "but I am not, you know?"

"Know."

"Then can you tell the difference?"

Diya turned her head and looked at Yaxiu with her big beautiful eyes. Yaxiu stretched out his hand and gently placed it on her head.

"I can't tell right now." Ash said, "After I knew you were Lisdea, I couldn't help but recall every detail of that time... In addition to you, the White Queen, Black Butler, and Red Death also occasionally use the identity of 'Lis', right?"

"Sometimes when she couldn't finish her homework and didn't want to be scolded, it was Sister Bai who helped her." Diya smiled, "And that time at the playground in Nabisdin."

"I was just thinking about how Liz changed her name that day, changing it three times in one hour." Ash shrugged, "Although I know you are different, you all share the same body, and sometimes I am even talking to you..."

"In the past few months, I have been missing you and Jian Ji." He said softly, "You are both extremely important to me, but my longing for Jian Ji is different from my longing for you."

Hearing this answer, Diya was neither sad nor relaxed, but there seemed to be a crack in her heart, and she felt empty. She hummed softly, put her head on Ash's shoulder, and smiled casually, "So, can I only be your family member?"

"No matter what happens, you are my family."

"Oh, I feel so embarrassed. Will I have to call Sword Princess 'Mom' from now on?" Diya bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to make a joke and get away with it: "But we can't jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe you can figure it out later, and we can still--"

"No, witch, you are both my family and my lover."

Looking at the Holy Grail that Ash handed to her, Diya was a little confused.

"This is soul color." Ash said, "Aren't you practicing the soul and mind factions, trying to find a way to get your sisters out safely and independently? Drink it."

In the last growth report, Ash noticed that the witch's mind faction was promoted from silver to gold, and her soul faction even stepped into the silver realm from nothing. He knew what the witch was thinking with just a thought.

Diya took the Holy Grail, still not quite sure: "What do you mean...?"

"I've learned one thing these days, that is, emotional projection should not happen." Ash said, "It not only insults my true feelings for the original owner, but also tramples on my feelings for the latter."

"Witch, after knowing the truth, I really can't separate you from Liz. I don't want my relationship with you, and my relationship with Liz, to be mixed with unnecessary impurities."

"I hope I can like you purely, and I also hope you can like me purely." Ash shook his head: "So, I will help you complete the independence of the witch sisters as soon as possible. No matter how good your relationship is, you have reached the age to live on your own."

Black Butler: "If we count by the time of our birth, we are all under ten years old..."

White Queen: "After we separate, Xiao Hei, you and Liz will have the same body."

Liz: "No! I want a private room too!"

Diya ignored the sisters' noise. She stared at Ash blankly and said, "So you collected soul colors specifically to help me separate the other sisters?"

"Even if you don't need it, I will collect other magic colors that will be useful to you." Ash smiled and said, "But I really think you should live independently. You needed to split into witch sisters because you were a princess imprisoned in a tower, fighting against the whole world alone since you were a child."

"But you are Queen Yisu now. You have followers, friends, a career, and hobbies. You are no longer alone. No one will bully you anymore. You can take on the world."

Diya shook her head and said with her neck stiff, "Who said that? I came to the Starry Kingdom alone now, and Sword Princess still bullies me!"

"What about me?"

Ash said seriously: "The amnesiac princess has returned home to become the queen, but the wandering knight is still unwilling to let go."

"I don't know what our relationship will be like, but I will never let you go back to being alone."

Diya blinked her eyes, raised the Holy Grail and gulped down the soul color, then gulped down the time color, which scared Ash: "Drink slowly, absorb it slowly!"

"I've finished drinking!" Diya licked her lips, raised her head and looked at Ash: "Praise me!"

"The witch is so powerful." Ash clapped his hands lightly.

"Not sincere." Diya snorted, and then said: "Lis said she hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to act coquettishly with you, I'll switch."

After that, the witch threw herself into Ash's arms, scratching and fussing like a cat. Ash had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted, but his body was too stiff to move.

However, the witch became more and more bold, hugging him and rubbing against him, happily shouting: "Daddy——"

Bang!

The witch sat on the ground in shock, rubbing her spanked butt subconsciously. Ash stood up suddenly, glanced at her angrily, and said unhappily: "Don't shout like that!"

Eh? Could he have distinguished them?

Diya blinked, and then realized something was wrong: Even if he knew that she was just being coquettish, there was no reason for Ash to be so angry! If he just treated her as his daughter, then wouldn't it be normal for her to yell like that?

And his attitude, this expression... Could it be that he...

Diya's heart was pounding, and a strange light gradually appeared in her eyes. It seemed that light was shining through the empty crack in her heart.

"Let's go. Even if we're not looking for Yin Zhi, it seems we can receive more rainbow colors further ahead."

Looking at the hand that Ash held in front of her, Diya grabbed it tightly, and the two continued to move towards the rainbow light column.
