Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

This is the state of most people.

"How pathetic!"

He shook his head.

However, Nanaya didn't say anything more, but simply carried Febri on his back and Mine with him, and continued walking forward.

Life is a journey of continuous progress; there is no turning back, and we cannot stop.

If you stop, that's death.

Mine followed him.

My eyes swept across each person's face, and I could see very few smiling faces.

On the contrary, many children who were carefully walking through the crowd had pure and bright eyes that were full of longing for life and yearning for living.

But they may die soon.

Of all those orphans, how many actually survive to adulthood?

do not know.

Mine knew nothing.

She couldn't even understand it.

"Brother Qiye".

"Ok?"

"Why must they all die? Why can't they live like these people?"

Mine asked the question.

She also wanted to live, to live a good life.

But now that I think about it, if she hadn't met Qiye, she might not have survived. Perhaps one day, she would have quietly died in some deserted corner, then rotted and disappeared.

There are many people like this.

"Who knows?"

Qi Ye shook his head.

He seemed unable to understand such a thing, or perhaps he had never even thought about it.

He is neither a philosopher nor a thinker.

"Perhaps this is what they call fate."

What is fate?

"Who knows, maybe it's nothing, maybe it's everything."

"Then, can it be changed?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no."

"why?"

"Because no one can clearly explain what fate is, and if something cannot be explained, then there is no question of whether it can be changed or not."

"Seven Nights explained."

He has his own opinion on this.

"Take you for example. If you hadn't met me, you would have had your own destiny, but you did meet me."

"So, my fate was changed by Brother Qiye?"

No, that's not it.

"why?"

"Because of this one thing about you, who can say it wasn't destiny?"

"..."

Mine did not ask any further questions.

At such a young age, she didn't quite understand such questions.

Or perhaps I understand.

"In short, so-called fate is the least important thing to care about, and don't think about defying fate or anything like that."

Perhaps those who constantly shout about defying fate are the ones who truly believe in destiny.

"Just live well. In this world, everything is predetermined, and nothing is predetermined."

"Oh."

……

Market research.

It's really just about seeing what kind of entertainment options exist in this world.

Seven Nights has reached a conclusion.

Rich and powerful people don't need notebooks; they can play for real, so they won't buy notebooks.

People who are too poor don't need that; they just need to make sure they survive.

Ordinary people might need it, but few would waste money on it, because with the money to buy a notebook, they could easily go to some lower-class places for a quickie.

If you can play for real, why would you play for fake?

Of course, even that kind of money is usually saved to avoid unexpected situations where money is needed.

So it's normal that the notebooks are not selling well.

There isn't much of a market for doujinshi in this world because that's not what people are after.

"That's true. We haven't even satisfied our material needs yet, so who the hell would pursue a spiritual life? People who are capable of pursuing a spiritual life don't need a notebook at all."

Qi Ye shook his head.

In the evening, he took Febri and Mine back to the shrine.

The living room was a bit messy, and some things had been turned over, indicating that a thief had broken in.

After all, with no guards and such a large manor, it would be strange if no thieves came to plunder it.

However, they couldn't find anything.

The important things are now stored in the space opened up by Qiye's right eye, and no one but him can take them away.

Originally, the plan was to use a magic circle to set up defenses.

Unfortunately, the magic I learned before was indeed unusable in this world, and the magic circle I drew was just a pattern with no effect whatsoever.

It just means that the rules of the world are different.

Just like people from other worlds who come to the ninja world and can't refine chakra.

The same goes for magic.

Only natural energy is applicable to all worlds, because natural energy exists in every world.

That's how it is, at least in the world I've visited so far.

Let's leave that aside for now.

I cooked a few dishes and had dinner with the two girls.

Think about it while you eat.

In the current situation, the notebooks won't sell, so there's not much point in continuing to draw notebooks.

And if it really becomes a hit, I suspect someone will have their eye on the shrine.

So let's leave it for now.

This is a new world, full of things I've never seen before, plants, animals, and the like.

worthy of study.

“Fibril, Mine, let’s leave here tomorrow.”

"leave?"

"I'll travel all over the world, consider it a kind of travel, and take the opportunity to study those dangerous species and such."

Qi Ye nodded.

As for this shrine...

It doesn't matter whether I want it or not. It's easy to get, and it's easy to throw away. I won't feel bad about it anyway.

The equipment in the underground research lab can also be put into the space of the right eye, so that you can just run in and use it when needed.

Go out and travel more; it won't hurt to broaden your horizons and gain more knowledge.

Of course, Febri had no objection to this; she followed Qiye wherever he went.

Mine had no objections.

She had nowhere to go after leaving Qiye, and she had no ties to anyone else, so leaving the capital was no big deal for her.

Therefore, the matter was happily decided.

……

Time passed slowly.

a new day.

morning.

I woke up early this morning; my biological clock is always pretty punctual.

I lay in bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

I guess he's thinking something like, "Was it in the morning...maybe not...or...probably...maybe...more or less...maybe..."

I play this every morning.
