For newcomers, the bushes are the most dangerous places, but without seeing them for yourself, you can't know what's so special about them.

However, for Bai Ye, who also has the reputation of being a "jungle explorer", this little problem is naturally not a big deal.

So he smiled confidently, then reached out his hands and parted the neat clumps of grass that were blocking his way like two curtains, and finally saw the scene before him.

Even with my extensive experience exploring jungles, I was still overwhelmed by the indescribable beauty before me.

The narrow entrance led to a winding path, which allowed him to glimpse the colorful and precious fruits inside.

So he finally gave up and picked up the ripe fruit, and began to enjoy it.

He thoroughly enjoyed the tender and juicy fruit, not even noticing the juice dripping onto his lips.

All I was doing was enjoying this delicious meal.

But the world is always full of contradictions.

In fact, he wasn't the only explorer in this beautiful dream world.

There is another figure, on the opposite side of this world, carrying out the same activities.

The two are symmetrically positioned within a sphere, seemingly worlds apart yet so close.

After they had finished their meal, they looked at each other almost simultaneously.

Bai Ye smiled as he looked at the other person, and although the other person's expression did not change, his azure eyes and the emotions in them conveyed the same thought.

However, it was clear that neither of them was full, so they continued to enjoy their respective dishes.

At this time, the world seemed to gradually merge into one, and the distinction between heaven and earth was no longer clear.

All the worlds began to be kneaded together, with no distinctions remaining, and the universe began to return to the era of the Big Bang.

In short, neither of them could think of anything else right now; all they could do was explore the origins and mysteries of the universe...

Hina Tsuru Hotel, Room 201.

Three lovely girls were sitting together.

Unlike their previous appearances in sailor uniforms and casual clothes, the three of them were now wearing yukatas (light robes).

Perhaps because they had just taken a bath, all three of them had their hair down, their long hair slightly damp and loose.

Her fair and supple skin also gave her a unique charm...

Of course, none of the three were very old; the oldest was only 14.

Unless one is a fan of certain unusual hobbies, such unpleasant thoughts are unlikely to arise.

However, unlike their youthful faces, all three wore an inexplicable seriousness, their eyes fixed intently on the shogi board in front of them...

Well, actually only two people were watching, and one of them didn't understand.

These three are, of course, Yinzi, Ai, and Hui.

The three of them had just enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot spring.

The other two were frequent patrons, but it was Hui's first time, so she was very excited.

And she did indeed feel extremely comfortable, both physically and mentally.

The hot springs here are no exaggeration, they are incredibly comfortable!

Moreover, she also talked to both of them about many things during this time.

Now, we've become "friends"!

She wants to be friends with everyone, and Sagiri-chan has almost succeeded, so naturally she can be friends with Ai-chan and Gin-chan too!

Ai-chan is obviously a very lively person, so after chatting for a while, the two quickly became acquainted.

As for Senior Silver...

To be honest, it was a little surprising to Hui.

I originally thought that Ginko-senpai's personality was like that of someone in a novel—extremely aloof and only interested in shogi.

Surprisingly, after chatting with Senior Yinzi, she found that the other woman was quite kind. Although she didn't say much, she didn't seem to dislike her.

So it wasn't as difficult as I imagined!

Well, actually it's because Megumi has already gained Sagiri's approval.

In fact, both Gin and Ai are well aware of how much Sagiri rejects outsiders.

And anyone who can gain Sagiri's trust is definitely not a bad person!

and……

There's a chance they might become "family" in the future.

So regardless of the nature of their relationship, both of them felt that getting along well with Hui was a good thing.

Of course, this is also because Hui herself is very approachable.

However, what they care about now is not those things that are too far away; they care more about the game in front of them.

"How much longer do we need to think about this? Time has passed again."

"I'm thinking about it! Don't rush me!"

The two players in the game were once again in a near-verbal sparring mode, just like before, and Ai was once again in trouble, as if repeating the same situation.

After all, this was what he demanded of himself, "only allowing" three pieces, and yet he was still brutally killed.

Shogi can be cruel; if the skill difference is too great, it's difficult to win with just a small advantage.

Of course, this kind of battle also has its benefits; at least Ai's chess skills improved rapidly under such pressure.

· ······Request flowers· ··

It's easier to improve in adversity, and besides, love itself hates money. Losing to money all the time is naturally very unpleasant.

Therefore, she studied chess even harder, and her skill level has even reached that of an average female chess player!

This is already quite remarkable, considering that Ai is only nine years old.

Even the children of Byakuya don't play shogi from birth.

Moreover, in the past, Ashina, who disliked shogi, deliberately kept Ai away from anything related to shogi, so the time she could play was actually quite limited.

It was only in the last two years, after Ai became a little more sensible and persisted on this path, that Ashina finally relented and allowed her to continue down this path.

...Of course, she still wasn't entirely willing, and she wished she never had to touch that thing again in her life.

However, as the match progressed, the atmosphere became so tense that the most nervous person was not the two players, but Hui, who was sitting on the side.

She herself knew absolutely nothing about shogi, and Sagiri had already gone to take a shower, so the video call ended.

The two of them were now in a state of quiet contemplation, so she didn't dare to utter a sound!

.. ... .......

How embarrassing!

She wants to speak, but she can't. Someone please help her and break this deadlock!

"Gin-chan, is it convenient for us to come in now?"

"Please come in, Master."

Fortunately, at that moment, Bai Ye's familiar voice rang out from the doorway.

Although Hui sometimes found the voice a bit annoying, this time, she was really looking forward to its appearance!

Soon, Bai Ye opened the door with his key and walked in, his face bearing the same smile as always.

"Oh? Still in a match? You're really diligent. How's the game going?"

"Just as relaxed as usual."

"Waaah... It wasn't easy at all! You were very serious just now, thinking for a long time before you did it!"

"Much better than you."

"you!"

The conflict seemed to escalate again in an instant.

The already awkward situation became even more embarrassing and infuriating when Bai Ye found out, making Ai want to lash out immediately.

"Haha~ It seems we've encountered another challenge. In that case, let me give Gin-chan one last test of her progress~"

Fortunately, Bai Ye easily resolved the problem at that moment.

He smiled and picked Ai up, then sat down cross-legged, placed little Ai on his lap, and gently stroked her head with his left hand to comfort her.

Perhaps feeling a long-lost sense of security, Ai's little face finally revealed a bright and happy smile, and she proudly showed it off to Yinzi across from her.

Hmph~ Just you wait and see!

No matter what, Dad still cares more about her!

Is this woman worthy of being treated like this by Dad?!

...Of course, she didn't even consider that if Yinzi were ever treated like that one day, she might have to call her "Yinzi's Mom"!

"...Yes, thank you for your trouble, Master."

This time, Yinzi didn't argue with Ai anymore. Instead, her gaze became serious, and she stopped being distracted.

The real battle is about to begin!

"Oh, it feels like the art style has turned into a novel! By the way, Uncle, where did Aunt Asina go? Did she go to work?"

"Well, she was too tired just now, she's already sleeping~"

"..." x3 Ding.
