After returning to the plane, Shen He suddenly felt a sense of loss.

It has only been less than a year.

Those characters who seemed to be big figures in the past, now give him a completely different feeling.

There are probably still some plots and characters left on Earth.

For example, Tony's rival in love, Dr. Killian, who invented the Extremis virus.

And the Mandarin and the Ten Rings.

There may even be the Ghost Rider who once appeared in the Agents of SHIELD, but no trace has been found so far, and the corresponding Hell and Heaven.

But these are not events that can be handled now.

"Lelouch, how long do you have?" Shen He established a call with Lelouch in his mind.

"It's... over." Lelouch seemed to sigh, "I have been arranging follow-up matters in this short time... Master, you knew that my mother was not dead, right?"

"It's better for you to discover this kind of thing yourself." Shen He did not deny it.

Lelouch's mother was not only not dead, but also planned the fake death incident with his father that year, and even ignored the experience of their brothers and sisters for so many years.

In the hearts of the parents, their ideals, or goals, are far more important than the happiness of their children.

"...... Indeed."

Lelouch didn't know if he had the courage to go on the road of revenge if he had known all this earlier.

But now, he has found what he is pursuing on this road.

"I will take Jiang Lihua back to Tianzi the day after tomorrow." When Lelouch said this, he finally felt relieved in his heart, "It will only take one day to make Tianzi the king of the world, and then everything will be over, and Nunnally can return to school and live happily."

"Really..." Shen He thought of Jiang Lihua and Nunnally, and still felt reluctant.

After they left, the castle would probably become empty all of a sudden, and Sakura would lose a few playmates.

However, after all, they couldn't stay in the castle all the time.

"After you can come to help, I'm going to leave the earth." Shen He didn't forget to talk about business, "I plan to go to the universe to see if I can get the power gem first."

Shen He didn't know how strong Thanos was without the Infinity Gems.

But the power of the power stone can easily destroy a planet. If Thanos gets it, it will still be a huge threat.

Shen He was a little worried that Thanos would start collecting the stones in advance when they appeared.

"It is indeed necessary to collect the Infinity Stones as soon as possible." Lelouch also agreed with this decision. "According to your description, Thanos' own strength is not too strong, but he can maximize the power of the Infinity Stones. We should not only snatch the Infinity Stones, but also get the means to use the Infinity Stones together, so that we can turn the passive into the active."

In Lelouch's eyes, passive defense is a negative strategy.

Only by becoming a hegemon first can you decide whether to be a hegemon.

"Infinity Gauntlet..." Shen He thought about Lelouch's suggestion, but in the end he just shook his head, "All of this is in the universe. We don't know what the universe looks like yet. Let's talk about it when we get there."

"By that time, please allow me to stand by your side." Lelouch's tone was very serious, "My days as Zero are over. Next, I will work for you as your Servant-"--

in exchange for the power to protect Nunnally and Shirley.

Lelouch did not say the last sentence.

After knowing the truth about the temple and the power of geass, Lelouch still could not be sure whether the world he changed for Nunnally and others could remain safe forever.

Shen He could find the sense of security he wanted here.

Moreover, he had begun to enjoy the process of fighting.

"Of course, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Shen He chuckled.

"I hope I will not disappoint the Master." Lelouch also began to adjust his state.

After chatting with Lelouch for a while, Shen He felt that the direction of some things was gradually becoming clear.

Sometimes he would be too disturbed by the plot, but when there was a smart person who did not understand the plot and only got key information from him, he would often find things that he had overlooked.

The fighter plane returned directly to the sky garden.

In the past half month, Shen He was almost familiar with life in this sky city.

It felt like returning to the university in the past. Although the place was not big, it had everything, without the anxious and turbid atmosphere of the real society.

"Are you going back to the castle now? Master." Jeanne asked.

"Then..."

"Shen He." Ryougi Shiki suddenly interrupted Shen He, "Anyway, there's nothing to do now, right?"

"Although it's not like that... but there's really nothing important." Shen He looked at Shiki.

"Okay, I just happen to have a place I want to go." Shiki grabbed Shen He's wrist without saying anything, and pulled him in the other direction, and didn't forget to turn around and say, "Jeanne, you go back first."

"Huh, huh-?" Joan of Arc stood there with her eyes wide open, looking like she didn't know whether to follow or go back honestly.

In all the time they knew each other, she had never seen Ryougi Shiki like this.

I always felt that although this was a little different from the usual Shiki, there was no sense of disobedience at all.

But just as she was stunned.

Ryougi Shiki had already pulled Shen He away.

"Shiki, you are now..."

Shen He was pulled behind Shiki, looking at her back, not knowing whether to continue.

"A little like Ori, right?"

Shiki turned around and actually gave Shen He a smile.

But it was not so much a smile.

It looks more like a beast baring its teeth as it prepares to hunt. You can see that it is tense and extremely dangerous.

Although Shen He had never seen what the "deceased" Zhi looked like, this look was indeed a bit like the description of Shiki's other personality in the original book.

"Actually, I just thought about what Zhi looked like according to the memory in my mind." Shiki seemed to be very satisfied and smiled, "This feeling is not bad."

"Really..."

Shen He didn't care about anything and gradually followed Shiki's footsteps.

As long as Shiki felt good, it was enough.

However, Shen He didn't know that the reason why Ryougi Shiki tried Zhi's appearance was just to find answers to some things.

Finally, the two came to the door of a shop.

It was not a shop on the street, but a shop on the corner of the third floor of a large supermarket that was completed in the last few days, a shop that is usually difficult to find.

From the outside...

it is undoubtedly a clothing store, but not an ordinary clothing store.

There are no finished clothes in the store, only batches of vertically hanging cloth. Judging from the patterns and styles on the cloth, it seems that there are everything from the cheongsam style of the Republic of China era to the cloth of modern black suits.

"I heard that you took Violet to the garden for a walk this morning, just the two of you." Ryougi Shiki turned around and suddenly said, "Last time, I also took Jeanne and Sakura out alone, and the time before that, I also accompanied Altria."

"Huh? Are you going to say this now?" Shen He was stunned.

So, in the past half month, no, it should be said that he has never taken Shiki out alone.

Speaking of which, it is strange enough to come out of Shiki's mouth.

No wonder he has to use the style of Ori.

"Why can't I say it? I think this is the reason why I have the urge to kill again. This clothing store is a place I have wanted to come to for a long time. Take this opportunity to make it up to me."

After Ryougi Shiki finished speaking cheerfully, she continued to grab Shen He's hand and dragged him inside, but when she did these things, her heart couldn't help but beat fast.

Even if she was imitating Ori's behavior, she was not Ori after all.

And Shen He looked at Ori who was in high spirits, and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Really... He who has always understood the servants could not guess what Shi was feeling at this moment, nor what unexpected gestures she would show, so he could only complain that he had not discovered Shi's feelings earlier, while looking forward to it wholeheartedly.

After pushing open the door of the shop and entering, the bell tied to the door rang naturally.

This was a very common reminder method in the West in the 1950s and 1960s.

Moreover, the air in the shop was obviously different from that outside. Both the temperature and humidity had been carefully adjusted, as if to adapt to the use of fabrics.

Just waited for a while.

The owner walked out of the layers of hanging fabrics without touching any of them.

Shen He's eyes lit up.

This was a Western woman wearing a cheongsam with blue and white porcelain patterns, and her age could not be seen.

The reason why the age could not be seen was because of the girlish skin and the well-proportioned figure, as well as the fine crow's feet at the corners of the eyes that only middle-aged women had, and the unique breath that was obviously precipitated by the years. The lazy feeling made Shen He feel like he had returned to the Republic of China in a trance.

"What kind of clothes do you want to order?" The voice was soft and magnetic, but the tone was very standard Chinese.

The owner had a friendly smile on her face, and her surprised eyes showed that she had recognized Shen He's identity, but she didn't make any extra movements, just like greeting ordinary customers.

Shen He couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that this sky city is indeed gradually gathering various unique people.

"I want to order a few kimonos." Shiki was obviously the first time to come to such a place.

"I see..."

The owner's eyes swept over Shiki's body, and the eyes that seemed to carry a story lit up slightly.

Ryougi Shiki is about 1.6 meters tall, with messy black hair that reaches her shoulders, white skin like a ceramic plate, and a back that always stands straight. Anyone who sees her can feel a neutral temperament, which is indeed very suitable for kimono.

And it was not until now that Shen He suddenly realized.

Shiki was still wearing the white kimono on the battlefield. The blood spots that were originally dotted like cherry blossoms had dried up into dark red.

This made her temperament even more unique and dangerous.

"Do you have the fabric and style you want?" The shopkeeper said with a knowing smile, "If not, do you want to try Hanfu?"

"Hanfu?" Ryougi Shiki was stunned.

After hearing this term, she turned around in her mind and finally understood the meaning of the word.

"Hanfu is the root of kimono. If you are suitable for kimono, you can also try Hanfu." The shopkeeper led a few people into the store and explained as he walked, "And in the style of Hanfu, the difference between men and women is only in color and some details. You can take a look at this fabric."

Finally, the shopkeeper stopped in front of a fabric.

This is a light pink background with some exquisite patterns in lighter colors. Only the ones that Shen He can recognize are plum blossoms, grass, bamboo, lotus, peony, orchid, etc.

Shi frowned slightly.

She usually likes to wear kimonos with simple and monotonous colors.

For example, dark blue, white, light red, etc., basically there are no patterns.

But just when she was about to object——

"I think this fabric is good." Shen He suddenly spoke.

He probably imagined Shiki wearing clothes made of this fabric in his mind, and suddenly found that it seemed very similar to the wife-style decoration he had seen in the previous interjection.

It must be said that Ryougi Shiki at that time period was stunningly beautiful.

"On the background of only a light pink, gradually outlined a series of plum, bamboo, peony, orchid..." The owner's eyes seemed to be filled with a trace of nostalgia, "This is the growth of a girl."

"..."

Shiki remained silent, but her expression seemed a little tangled.

But in the end, he nodded.

After all, what Shen He said was right. Although he hadn't worn it, he would try it.

"Then make a set of kimono and a set of Hanfu." Shen He was also looking forward to it. "I'll leave the details to you. If you are satisfied, make a few more of the same."

"Then, please come here to measure some data." The owner chuckled, but pointed to the dressing room not far away.

"You still need to measure data?" Shi looked shocked.

"Of course, this is custom-made clothes." Shen He was also a little helpless, "So how did you find this place?"

"I saw the flyer, which was sandwiched in a pile of food flyers brought back by Altria..." Shi was obviously not used to it, "Can't you just report the number?"

"Just the measurements, but you can't make perfect clothes."

The owner directly reached out and held Shi's wrist. This action scared Shen He.

Shi's arm was already full of strength at this time.

For her who has relatively little common sense, such contact is quite dangerous.

"And if you want to wear it for combat," the shop owner smiled as if he didn't notice, "there are a lot of details to pay attention to."

"..."

Hearing the word "combat", Shi thought for a while, and could only stop resisting and relax his body as much as possible.

Then he was pulled to the dressing room by the shop owner.

Shen He was a little nervous, and wanted to follow, but felt a little uncomfortable.

As a result, after the shop owner opened the door of the dressing room, there was a very advanced-looking instrument inside, and then he just asked Shi to stand there with the clothes on, and do some movements such as waving, bending over, and turning sideways.

Is the measurement data of custom-made clothes so advanced now?
