Skadi, returning to infinity

"call.....

After watching Red A leave, Skadi and the others returned to the villa.

The pale-faced girl then recovered, looking completely different from her previous energetic self.

"Let's keep waiting, we have plenty of opportunities to beat them."

After taking a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and taking a few sips, Skadi sat on the sofa, her expression full of anticipation.

The Extreme Adventurers came to attack her, but she outsmarted them and brought Rize Kamishiro back to her side.

They must have received a notification from the system by now, and they're probably still angry and planning how to get revenge.

Hehe, she has plenty of ways to deal with them.

Of course, they need to get some rest before that.

"Let's go take a bath."

After finishing her soda, Skadi stood up, grabbed Kurumi Tokisaki and Rize Kamishiro's hands, and led them up to the bathroom on the third floor without a word.

It's a huge bathroom; there's no problem accommodating three, five, or even seven.

Taking a bath can make people feel more comfortable.

Of course, after being completely open with each other, the girls will become even closer...

Chapter 56: Fairy Queen Asuna

Lying in bed, with Tokisaki Kurumi nestled in his arms.

Rize Kamishiro did not come in because she was a newcomer and had not yet been trusted by them.

Besides, even if someone is trustworthy, not everyone will throw themselves into your bed, okay?

It really is...

What if someone who doesn't know the situation misunderstands?

She has no experience yet; if people start making wild guesses, then she'll be...

Forget it, don't think about these things...

Perhaps because she has been in more and more contact with other agents recently, Skadi has been having those memories resurface in her mind.

Especially the memory of that final departure, it still lingers in her mind, like a nightmare from the past...

So, you've decided to leave?

A soft, weak female voice came from behind. No one would have thought that the famous Fairy Queen in the Gods' Space would be so vulnerable.

After all, the Fairy Queen outside is someone who never shows mercy and never allows anyone to disobey her.

But now she seemed to be thinking of something sad, sitting there with her head down, her voice very soft.

"It's not that I decided to leave, but that I had already planned to leave a long time ago."

Skadi replaced that person, sitting opposite the Fairy Queen.

She slowly poured herself a cup of tea, picked up the warm tea, gazed at the Fairy Queen, and spoke softly.

"Can you really just easily let go of the time you've spent with us here?"

"From the time we met, including the time in the mission world and the time in the team's private world, we've lived together for about ten years, haven't we?"

"Haven't these ten years been enough for you to decide to start over?"

“I know you still have parents, but you came here after you died. In your parents’ eyes, you are already a dead person.”

"Since that world no longer needs you, why..."

Why go back?

Her long, pointed ears twitched, and her long orange hair floated gently in the breeze.

The place they are in is a world exclusively for the team.

This is the highest point in the world, offering a panoramic view of the continent below.

The wind was cold, and the Empress was wearing only thin clothes.

But the reason she was trembling was not because of the cold, but because of Skadi and what she said.

Asuna...

Skadi murmured her name, as if trying to say something.

“We’ve been living together ever since we were trapped in game time together.”

"Ever since I learned that we had died and were chosen by the [Game of Gods] to come to this world, my reliance on you has never changed."

"You know how I feel..."

"If you don't know, I'll tell you again."

"I love you...I love you...I love you..."

So, for my sake, please stay?

The girl named Asuna looked up at her, her eyes already brimming with tears, which slowly slid down her cheeks.

Skadi reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks once more. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh softly.

"Answer me! Why are you running away again?"

Seeing her like this, Asuna suddenly roared.

"I know that's why I refused you."

"Because I want to go home..."

"This place makes me feel scared."

"The stronger one is, the more afraid one becomes."

“I worry that if we can’t leave this space, we will inevitably decay and fall into depravity.”

"By then, I don't know if I'll be able to hold on."

"But that's just my idea. When carrying out a mission, my will is above yours, and I will make you listen to me."

"But now, my plan to leave is only related to myself."

"Therefore, I will not ask you to do anything for me."

"I don't want to hold you back either."

"You deserve better..."

This has been said more than once, but it still feels somewhat inadequate to say it now given the current situation.

"If you're really willing to give up, then why were you angry when he was pursuing me?"

Asuna stubbornly turned her head away and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She then questioned Skadi in an interrogative tone, wanting to know the answer.

...because I don't want to lose you.

"Then do you love me?" Asuna, who would usually stop before asking this question, was being aggressive this time.

"Love is not just loving you, but also loving her."

"But I can't agree to that..."

"I want to leave here."

"And you chose to stay."

"So we..."

"sorry......

Skadi couldn't bring herself to say many of the words she wanted to say, and could only repeat them over and over again.

The answers I remember are so fragmented, so weak and ridiculous.

If Skadi were to go back now, she would slap her past self—you should be braver.

However, thinking about it, she had only stayed in the real world for a year before her enemies from the Gods' Realm found her through a bug and attacked her in the real world.

hatred.

If Asuna and the others had come along, things would have been different...

"It would be even more dangerous."

She tried to convince herself.

But that was just hindsight after knowing the outcome. Why didn't I agree back then, when I didn't know my enemies would use the bug to seek revenge?

"As expected, I still don't have the courage."

Just as he said back then, he loved not only Asuna, but also another one.

A true "bad girl," indecisive and unsure who to choose.

So I simply won't choose it, giving myself another reason to escape...

For most agents, the idea of ​​choosing between two girls is utterly ridiculous.

Because within the [Space of Gods], all desires are amplified, and all morality is lowered.

Women could have hundreds or even thousands of male concubines, and men could have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

Everyone is indulging in lust, even among agents, it's mostly just playing around.

Few people have genuine feelings, nor will they ever have genuine feelings.

In the realm of gods, interests form the strongest bond, and willpower is more reliable than love.

That's why they really didn't fit in with the whole space back then.
