Skadi, returning to infinity

There's only one side to it.

Skadi reached out and pulled her up.

Without giving her a chance to feel shy, he gently removed all the tattered strips of cloth from her body.

I helped her take off her shoes and socks, and finally handed her a dress and a set of underwear.

This was originally a very embarrassing process.

But accompanied by Skadi's gentle voice and tender movements, it felt as if a "mother" was changing her daughter's clothes.

Natural, smooth, and without any other meaning that could be misunderstood.

"I just feel that this type of clothing is more suitable for training and action."

With Skadi's help, Chen put on the black backless dress and black high heels.

Wearing such clothes for the first time made her feel very awkward.

She took two steps, then stumbled and almost fell.

Skadi reached out and pulled her into her arms.

"Can I not wear them?" Chen wasn't shy; she just looked at her high heels awkwardly.

At six centimeters tall, it seems like even I can't quite fit into them.

"No, you need to wear high heels regularly to practice your balance."

"You lost your balance several times during your attack on me just now."

"So I think I need to get some exercise."

Skadi blinked. That sounded so strange. Was it really inevitable?

"I believe you." Although he had some doubts, he figured there was no need for Skadi to lie to him like that.

So Chen chose to believe her and planned to practice seriously from then on.

"Phew..." With Skadi's help, she walked around the training room for a few minutes.

After letting Skadi release his grip, Chen stood there waiting for a while before starting to walk.

"It seems like I've got it down a bit."

Chen's balance wasn't that bad, but influenced by Skadi's words, she came to that conclusion from the start.

When she realized she could walk steadily in high heels, she looked back at Skadi with a hint of anticipation.

"Okay, let's go eat."

The initial distance between them was quickly bridged through these hundreds of near-death experiences.

This looks a lot like Stockholm syndrome.

But Skadi's intention was indeed to train her and let her experience the feeling of death, not to abuse her.

Abuse doesn't involve extreme cruelty; hers was truly designed to kill.

If it weren't for the [Life Link], even if Skadi could guarantee that she wouldn't kill her every time, she might not have been able to truly save her life.

She can't truly die, but using the resurrection skill might attract something she can't handle right now.

"Sister Skadi, is she your new disciple?"

I opened the door, and there was a firework squatting next to it.

She turned her head blankly to look at Skadi, her lips moved slightly, glanced at Chen, and then asked a question.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking?"

Hanabi's emotions fluctuate greatly, and it is often during these times that Skadi's emotional intelligence skyrockets, and she knows exactly what to do.

She crouched down and flicked Hanabi's forehead with her finger.

Then he patted her head, supported her under her armpits with both hands, and picked her up.

"Chen came here to cultivate; he is my student."

"You are my sister, not my disciple."

"Different."

Skadi spoke very seriously, and the way she treated Hanabi with such tenderness stirred something within Chen.

"My sister?" Hinata Hanabi's eyes lit up.

She had always considered herself Skadi's disciple.

After all, she was learning physical techniques from Skadi.

Although she later learned Skadi's true identity and had already assimilated her into her blood relation.

But her inner belief in this matter has never changed.

You could even say that she didn't want to see anyone else become Skadi's disciple; she just wanted to be Skadi's exclusive favorite.

She thought this would be easy, but to her surprise, only a month after arriving in Skadi's hometown, another person came to visit Skadi, wanting to...

He apprenticed under Skadi.

Furthermore, watching Skadi earnestly instructing Chen, even more so than when she was teaching her, filled her with mixed emotions.

Is it because Skadi doesn't like me anymore that she's not teaching me properly?

The new girl was chosen by the older sister because she wasn't good enough.

Is that how it is...?

Am I going to be abandoned?

A sense of panic spread through Hanabi's heart, making it difficult for her to calm down.

She was afraid of being abandoned and left alone in this strange world.

Skadi was all she had left, and if Skadi didn't want her anymore, the only thing she could think of was death.

That's why she squatted at the door, wanting to ask Skadi.

The answer she received, however, was even more surprising.

Although Skadi no longer considers her a disciple, she is Skadi's sister, a status she prefers.

"You don't need to worry about anything. You're not ready for me to focus on teaching you yet."

"When you can unleash that punch, you'll understand why I did this."

They carried her to the restaurant, where Ali was already sitting and waiting for them.

Skadi sat down next to Ali, placed the fireworks on the other side, and then said these words to her.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Chen felt a little dazed.

They look like a family of three, which is truly enviable.

PS: The title only hints that Chen is one of the original female protagonists of Arknights.

PS2: This chapter is 4000 words long and is a combined chapter.

PS3: I thought back to the first time I wore high heels, it was also very difficult to maintain my balance, I couldn't even walk properly with six centimeters.

Later, after wearing more layers, I could easily handle the 12-centimeter hemline; it really does require practice.

Chapter Sixty: The Inexperienced Chen and the Mature Ali, the Naive Fireworks

"Chen, what's wrong?" After calming Hanabi down, Skadi looked up at Chen.

Skadi could feel her gaze fixed on her.

So she was also very curious as to why Chen was looking at her like that.

"No." Chen shook his head and looked at the food on the table.

"There are actually dishes from Yan and Dong countries."

There are many people from Dongguo (Eastern Kingdom) in Longmen, so Dongguo cuisine is also very popular.

The dishes on the table, aside from some Kazdel, Colombian, and Victorian cuisine, are half from Yan and Dongguo.

dish.

This surprised her somewhat, and then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Hanabi and Ari.

Are they both from the East?

Although Chen had already guessed it, he still asked a question.

"Yes, they are both from the East."

Strictly speaking, Hanabi is from the Land of Fire in Naruto, while Ari is from Heian-kyo.

These are similar to, but different from, the Easterners of Terra, but their origins are the same.

Just like the Yan people and the Huaxia people, even if they go to a different world, as long as their origins are the same, they are the same race.

"No wonder.

Chen hadn't paid attention to Shiranui yet, but now, looking at this girl, she was somewhat amazed.

"What a beautiful person."

Skadi couldn't help but laugh at the clumsy compliment.

"Chen, you don't need to be so reserved."

As she spoke, she reached out and took one of Ali's little hands, gently playing with it in her own.

"Ali has a great personality; you'll see once you talk to her."

Despite being treated so affectionately by Skadi in front of a newcomer, Ali wasn't shy at all. She simply glanced at Skadi, then looked...

He nodded to Chen

"It's obvious she likes you a lot."
