Ignoring Machida Sonoko's surprise, Najihiro began to speak on his own.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha sent me to rescue you. I've searched the area, and you're the only living person here."

That's right, she's the only living person in this building; Na Zhiyang wasn't lying.

As for the other people around me... let them worry about it, it's none of my business.

"Huh? Huh~?!! Utaha-chan?"

"Let's not waste time with pleasantries. You can talk to each other there after I take you there."

"But what are you going to do in this situation?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Na Zhiyang placed his right arm behind her back and nudged her knees with his left hand.

Machida Sonoko felt a sudden sensation of weightlessness, screamed, and then found herself being carried away in a princess carry...

That's right, it was flying; by the time I realized it, I was already in the air.

Suddenly I felt a wave of fear, and my hands instinctively wanted to grab anything around me.

It didn't last long; Nazhiyang's flight speed was still very fast, and it returned to its previous location in less than ten minutes.

As soon as I returned, I saw Kasumigaoka Utaha with her head down, staring silently at the two corpses on the ground.

The two corpses had bullet holes in them, suggesting they were killed after turning into zombies.

Seeing this, Najihiro understood that the two bodies on the ground must be Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents.

Looking around at the several girls who looked like they were not to be trifled with, especially one who was sitting on a broom and flying through the air.

Machida Sonoko felt that the worldview she had finally come to accept had collapsed once again.

"Shi...Shiyu-chan, are these all...your friends?"

After landing, she stumbled a couple of steps. Na Zhiyang reached out to steady her, but ended up touching the wrong spot...

But now, Machida Sonoko no longer had the energy to care about these things, and no one else paid much attention to this action either.

"Yuanzi, do you want to leave this world with me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't directly answer Machida Sonoko's question, but instead said something to herself.

"What... Haha! Shiyu-chan, you're joking, right? What do you mean by leaving this world? We're still alive and well, as long as we're alive..."

It's clear from what she said that Machida Sonoko misunderstood.

The idea that Kasumigaoka Utaha meant going to other worlds is not the same as the one Machida Sonoko understands.

"That's not what I meant. The other worlds in the novel, understand?"

"How...could that be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly recalled everything that had just happened, and looked at the witch who was still flying in the sky, sitting on a broom.

"Shiyu-chan... what... is going on?"

"Phew! I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush me, let me explain slowly, we're now..."

Chapter 27: Returning After Being Hit, Developing Skills

After some time of explanation, Machida Sonoko roughly understood the current situation.

As a clear-headed adult, Machida Sonoko quickly calmed down and did not appear flustered.

"Yuanzi, do you want to go to other worlds with me?"

"I..."

Machida Sonoko instinctively wanted to refuse, but after uttering just one word, she suddenly saw the hope in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes and thought about her current situation.

Yes, what do I have left in this world?

My family is gone, my friends are gone, my colleagues are gone, and my life has been completely disrupted...

Now, Kasumigaoka Utaha, whom she considers her younger sister, has sent someone to rescue her...

What is there to hesitate about?

Seeing that Machida Sonoko didn't react for a long time, the light in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes gradually dimmed.

"I see... I understand, Editor Machida, we..."

"Utaha-chan, you're so cruel! You made that face when I decided to go with you."

"Yes, I understand. Editor Machida, you have your own life too. I... eh?"

With surprise in her eyes, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and saw Machida Sonoko smiling.

"Yuanzi?"

"That's right! Utaha-chan, I, Machida Sonoko-sama, have decided to go with you. Aren't you happy?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was extremely excited and pounced on Machida Sonoko, hugging her without saying a word.

Machida Sonoko understood, and so did the others.

This is a common situation in novels, where the last surviving acquaintance is treated as a pillar of support.

The decision of which world to go to had already been made earlier. Kasumigaoka Utaha, along with Machida Sonoko, went directly to Marisa's side, and the others also left one after another.

Rikka Takanashi's complexion has only just recovered somewhat.

She threw up for a while when she first arrived here.

Finally, Ying and Paimon prepared to return, glancing back before stepping into the portal.

"What are you doing here, grinding monsters?"

"Hmm, a rare treasure trove of experience. These creatures aren't particularly strong, but there are many of them, enough for me to level up quickly."

"Alright, let me know when you come back. I'm planning to go straight to Liyue. Don't just suddenly appear on the street."

"it is good!"

They had only been here for half an hour when everyone else went back, leaving only Najiyo to grind monsters here.

This place is like a one-time monster-killing ground now.

Kasumigaoka Utaha chose to leave, and the other group members also went back. If Najihiro leaves too, this world will be disconnected from the chat group.

"Phew! Alright, let's start grinding! Hopefully this wave will give me a bigger boost."

...

Gensokyo, the Mist and Rain Magic Shop.

The three had just appeared and hadn't even spoken when they noticed someone with their back to them.

It was a blonde woman wearing a purple Taoist robe and a white lace beret, but...

Only the upper body.

The lower body is inside a pitch-black opening that appears out of nowhere; looking down, you'll find it's full of eyes.

Several more cracks opened in front of the woman, each revealing a different scene.

This scene immediately frightened Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko, who didn't dare to breathe.

"Hey! Yukari Yakumo, what are you doing here?"

"Ok?"

Suddenly turning around, Yukari Yakumo seemed somewhat surprised.

She was completely unaware that three people had appeared behind her.

However, Yukari Yakumo quickly composed herself and opened her folding fan to cover the lower half of her face.

"Oh dear~! Marisa, where did you go? And these two humans, they don't seem to be from Gensokyo, do they?"

As she spoke with a smile, she slightly narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

That smiling face gave off an air of mystery.

At least that's what Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha thought.

"Um... ahahaha! We..."

"They're from another world, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and although his facial expression was unseen, his aura seemed to change.

This scene instantly made Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko, who had just arrived, tense up.

However, Yukari Yakumo maintained this posture for only a few seconds before snapping her fan shut.

"Sigh~! Never mind, we're all old folks now, we won't get involved in your young people's affairs. Marisa, remember to explain Gensokyo to them properly, okay?"

Leaving behind those words, Yukari Yakumo yawned and stepped into the crevice.

"Marisa, what was that just now?"

"Oh! Don't worry about it. That was Yukari Yakumo, the youkai sage of Gensokyo, one of the three sages who created Gensokyo."

As she spoke, Marisa walked to the bedside and swept the books on it aside...

The book fell to the ground, clearing out a space.

"Come, come, sit here, I'll tell you about Gensokyo."

...

In another world, Rikka Takanashi was startled as soon as she appeared.

A girl with red eyes, dressed in black and blue pants, with long black hair, stood in front of her, holding a soup spoon in her hand and crossing her arms.

At that moment, their eyes met, and Rikka Takanashi took a step back and cried out loudly.

"The Holy Healer?! What are you doing here?!"

Takanashi Touka was startled by her sister's sudden appearance and took a step back.

I received a call from my school teacher, who suspected that I had cheated on the Rikka quiz.

Takanashi Touka came home a little earlier today, only to find that her younger sister, Rikka, hadn't returned home yet, so she waited for her sister outside Rikka's room.
