Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

With Hoshino's safe return, the girls of Abydos also returned to their ordinary and happy life, which was the same as before but different from before.

But now, our Xue is not happy at all. On the contrary, her face is full of solemnity.

Just this morning, Xue received some bad news from Weihua - her younger sister, Yurizono Shengya, the current leader of the "Sanctus" faction, who she had met since childhood, was assassinated in the academy last night. She is now seriously injured and unconscious, and has been urgently transferred and left Trinity.

"Were there any witnesses?"

On the rooftop of the tea party, Xue, the former leader of "Sanctus" who had already abdicated, was appointed to temporarily replace Shengya's position.

"Because it was late at night, there were no witnesses."

"It's difficult without witnesses..."

Hearing this, Xue couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The criminal chose to act late at night, which was obviously a long-planned act.

"…Mika-chan, Nagisa-chan, take me to the scene."

After thinking it over to no avail, Xue apparently decided to go to the scene in person to check the situation, but in fact she planned to secretly use the power of time to check what happened at that time.

"Ok."

Under the guidance of the two, Xue came to the place where Zuoye Shengya was assassinated.

The power of time quietly started to work, and everything that happened here last night clearly appeared in Xue's mind.

To Xue's surprise, what happened last night did not seem to be a real assassination, but a drama performed by her sister and the so-called assassin, a girl with white hair and purple eyes.

"A betrayer of Arius..."

Xue immediately understood the whole story of Shengya's assassination. Of course, the expression on her face did not change at all, and she still looked solemn.

“…Really, there’s not even a trace of it~”

"Yes, the criminal's method of committing the crime was quite sophisticated and perfect, leaving no trace at all."

"...This is getting tricky. It seems we'll only know what happened after Shengya recovers."

Since her younger sister has her own plans, Xue, as her older sister, will naturally take the initiative to cooperate with her plans.

"According to the current situation, this is the only way for now..."

“…I hope Shengya is doing well over there and wakes up soon.”

"hope so."

……

The investigation into the assassination came to a temporary end. Xue took over part of the government affairs that originally belonged to Shengya. As for why it was only a part... after all, her main identity now was Xia Lai's assistant, and it was impossible for her to stay in Trinity every day to handle government affairs.

After all the corresponding government documents were processed efficiently, it was already dusk and time for dinner.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

Xue picked it up and saw that it was a peach letter sent by Qian.

"An, how's the situation over there? Is little Shengya okay?"

"The situation here is a bit complicated, but it's still under control. By the way, Akane, have you had dinner yet?"

"I haven't eaten yet. I just got home from school."

"I see... I just happened to finish some paperwork, so why don't we go to Shibaseki Ramen together?"

Seeing that Qian had not eaten dinner yet, Xue immediately invited her to dinner.

"Okay, let's meet at Shibaseki Ramen later."

Qian naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Lord An." x2

Seeing Xue walking out of the office, the two tea party guard members responsible for protecting Xue's safety immediately saluted.

"Okay, okay, Maki, Haruha, didn't I tell you two a long time ago that you don't have to be so serious in front of me~"

Seeing how serious and earnest the two close confidants who had been trained by her when she was in power were at the moment, Xue felt somewhat helpless.

"Hehe, Senior An, it's been a long time since we last met~"

"Greetings, senior, long time no see."

Since Xue said so, the two twin girls with black hair and red eyes, named Aonuma Maki and Aonuma Haruha, immediately returned to their original personalities, one carefree and the other elegant and generous.

"Long time no see, how have you two been lately?"

"It's okay, not much different from before."

"Same as always, not much different from when you were in office."

"Really? That's good."

Hearing this, Xue nodded in understanding.

"It's almost time for dinner. You two should rest for a while. I'll go out and stretch my legs and have dinner."

"Yes!"

"Senior An, take care."

After bidding farewell to her two confidants, Xue crossed Trinity Square and walked towards the gate of the academy. On the way, she passed by a strange white-haired, purple-eyed, cold-faced girl.

Xue noticed the fleeting micro-expression on the girl's face, which was imperceptible to ordinary people, and chuckled in her heart.

"What a coincidence, Miss Arius's betrayer..."

……

Formerly under the jurisdiction of the Abydos Autonomous Region, Shibakuni Ramen Restaurant

“Welcome to Shibaseki Ramen!”

Our Abydos's Ms. Serika is still working as usual at the reopened Shibaseki Ramen Shop, which has been transformed back into an old-fashioned food truck.

"Ah, it's you, Senior An!"

Seeing that the guest was Xue, Qinxiang suddenly became more enthusiastic.

"Good evening, Serika~"

"Good evening, Senior. Are you alone?"

"I made an appointment with Meng, but it looks like I got here first."

"Is that so? Then can you... sit here?"

Qin Xiang glanced around and finally looked at the two-person table facing each other behind her.

"of course can."

"Xiao An~"

Not long after the snow fell, our Qian arrived a little later.

"Good evening, Dream."

"Good evening, Xiao An. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, no, I just got here."

Since everyone is here, the natural thing is to order food first.

"Excuse me, order this way."

"Coming!" Qinxiang came over after hearing the sound.

"What would you like to eat, seniors?"

"Two orders of signature ramen with chashu, one order of takoyaki, one order of wasabi octopus and seaweed salad, and four skewers of teriyaki chicken."

"Okay, please wait a moment, seniors."

While waiting for their meal to be served, Xue and Akane discussed in their minds the events of the previous night at Trinity.

"So, little Shengya is actually fine, and is just playing the long game?"

"That's right. I think that child will appear in my dream in a few days through prophetic dreams."

"The meal is here~!"

As soon as the meal was served, Xue and Qian immediately immersed themselves in enjoying the food.

Well, it’s worthy of the skills of Chef Shiba Daisho of Shibaseki Ramen Restaurant, it’s even better than before.

……

At night, Xue lay down on the bed and closed her eyes early. As expected, a spiritual power from elsewhere, from Shengya, entered the room of her consciousness that she had deliberately prepared.

Looking at the girl's image slowly solidifying in the sea of ​​consciousness, Xue snapped her fingers, helping her to solidify instantly.

"What's going on this time...?"

Our Shengya couldn't help but feel a little confused about the speed at which her spiritual image solidified this time.

"I knew, little Shengya, that you would come to me through dreams."

"Eh?"

Seeing the expected expression on Xue's face, Shengya couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sister An, why are you..."

"About this... Actually, after I was resurrected, I also gained some special abilities similar to your precognitive dreams."

"special power?"

Upon hearing this, Shengya showed a curious expression.

"Yes, for example... the power to peer into the past to a certain extent."

"...So, Sister An, you already know what happened last night?"

Our clever Shengya quickly understood what Xue meant after a brief thought.

"I know, little Saint Ya, you and the kid who betrayed Arius acted out a drama together, right?"

Hearing this, Shengya nodded.

"Indeed, even though that child grew up under Arius's twisted educational philosophy—'Everything is empty,' she miraculously wasn't completely corrupted."

"So I convinced her and acted out this drama with her, helping her hide it from the other Arians while also hiding myself."

Hearing this, Xue's expression naturally became serious.

Is everything empty? What kind of nihilism is this? Hei Dashuai from the Star Iron Universe next door said it was okay.

"...I think I roughly understand, if I'm not mistaken, Arius's ultimate goal..."

Xue paused.

"…It should be to disrupt the signing of the Treaty of Eden and launch a so-called revenge against the Holy Trinity, right?"

"Just as you said, Sister An."

"Tsk, this is really difficult..."

Xue let out a light sigh, a rare look of distress appearing on her face. This was really getting troublesome.

"Yes, if Arius's plan succeeds, the Holy Trinity will definitely suffer an unbearable blow."

"…The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light. Now it seems that we can only take one step at a time and wait and see, and respond to all changes with the same attitude."

After a moment of thought, Xue finally chose to give up thinking for the time being. As far as the current situation is concerned, thinking too much is of no use and will only add to the troubles.

"Yeah, now... this is all we can do for now."

In the end, the two sisters reached a consensus and decided to put the matter aside for the time being and consider it in the long term.
