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

Time passed slowly.

Unable to extricate himself from his research, Qiye spent a long time alone in the space of his right eye, completely losing contact with the outside world.

However, nothing much happened outside.

Everything in the new country is developing in a positive direction, the living standards of the people are gradually improving, and society is returning to stability.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

More than half a year has passed since Qiye went into "seclusion".

A lot has happened in the past six months, but overall, it seems that nothing has changed.

If I had to put it simply, it would be that the girls have grown up.

For example, Febri.

When she was with Qiye, because Qiye didn't expose her to too many things, her temperament wasn't much different from that of a child.

For example, they are children.

But Chelsea is different.

Akame, Kurome, and Mine sometimes help take care of Febri. Her small body makes people always treat her like a child, so they take good care of her.

However, he is no longer a child.

As I grew older, I learned a lot from the girls and gradually became more thoughtful.

Of course, that's just what I said; I don't expect her to suddenly see through the illusions of the world or ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

That doesn't matter.

For Febri, what matters is Seven Nights. Seven Nights has been gone for so long, which makes her feel a little uneasy.

During their conversation, Chelsea and Akame didn't know how to respond to her mentions of Academy City, Saten Ruiko, Misaka Mikoto, and others.

Gradually, Febriy became somewhat silent.

Every day, holding the pink Gekota she stole from Misaka Mikoto, she would sit under the eaves of the shrine, look up at the clear sky.

Sometimes the sky is clear and blue, sometimes dark clouds loom overhead; the weather is always unpredictable.

Nothing is permanent.

Everything is changing every moment, either for the better or for the worse.

Philip will also change.

She remained silent, observing the changes in nature each day, lost in thought and daydreaming.

She was thinking about many things.

She didn't think about anything.

One day, two days, one month, two months...

Gradually, she seemed to become so engrossed in nature that she didn't even hear the girls talking to her. She would sit under the eaves without eating or drinking, her eyes never blinking.

Chelsea, Akame, and Kurome were all a little worried and wanted to call her.

But Mine stopped them.

Mine knew this because she had also received guidance from Shichiya and tried to cultivate natural energy, but she was busy with military campaigns and so she made little progress in this area.

However, even without progress, the things learned are not as good as before.

Enter a meditative state.

Febri may be in such a state that she may be able to successfully sense and absorb natural energy.

That's not surprising.

I was able to vaguely sense natural energy before, through things like kissing Nanaya.

There was no further news.

But now, it seems we've gone even further.

And it was successful.

Yes, she succeeded.

It was a sunny day with clear skies, and a gentle breeze was blowing, causing a few yellow leaves to fall from the trees.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that after being "dazed" for a long time, Febri suddenly came to her senses, turned her head, and looked into the shrine's living room, where the idle girls were sitting there.

"Nanaga is out."

She said that.

This surprised the girls.

However, before they could ask any questions, Qi Ye appeared in the living room, abruptly yet naturally.

It's been a long time since I last saw Qiye, and he seems to have changed a lot.

Yet it seems that nothing has changed.

"Seven nights!"

Febri got up and in the blink of an eye threw himself into Qiye's arms, rubbing his little face against Qiye's chest like a kitten clinging to its owner.

With a broad smile, Qi Ye patted her head, messing up her neatly combed hair.

Then he picked up the little girl.

He was also somewhat surprised; the changes in Febri had not escaped his notice, and the reaction of that natural energy was not wrong.

After a period of absence, it actually succeeded.

It succeeded again when he wasn't paying attention. Maybe he needs to stay away from the girls.

Perhaps it is because of his existence, because of his high affinity with natural energy, that natural energy is "close" to him, making it difficult for girls to sense natural energy.

However, this is just speculation.

Such conjectures cannot be fully investigated at the moment.

Moreover, this is not the key issue at the moment.

"We should go home now."

"Ok!"

Chapter 337: Departure

Come back home.

This is perhaps a very warm word.

People who have been away from home for many years always want to go back and see their parents, relatives, and childhood friends.

Originally, Shichiya had no home.

Later, I had a home, and then it was destroyed again.

Then, in different worlds, they formed new families with different people.

Ninja world, Academy City.

And here too.

Mine, Akame, and Kurome are also his family, especially Mine, who can be considered as having been raised by him since childhood.

As for someone like Chelsea, they're probably more like friends.

Regardless, Seven Nights is leaving now.

He wants to take Febri back to Academy City, and if all goes well, they will be able to return.

He was still quite confident in this regard.

Because he is now completely different from the man he was a few months ago.

Just like how the current Febri is not the Febri of a few months ago, it is like heaven and earth, one is in heaven and the other is on the ground.

Previously, Febri had little fighting ability.

But the current Febri is not to be underestimated in terms of combat power. After all, he has mastered natural energy, which has greatly increased his physical fitness. Not to mention that he can also use natural energy to use some skills.

But Philip had not studied it.

So, although that's what they say, in reality, because they don't know how to use it, their combat power is just so-so.

Let's leave that aside for now.

The fact that Shichiya has come out means that his research has made great progress.

He has researched many projects.

The first is to utilize natural energy to transform it into other abilities.

After all, it can be transformed into flames and lightning, so it can naturally be transformed into other abilities, such as water, wind, and soil.

Of course, it is possible.

Moreover, Shichiya succeeded, although it was slightly more troublesome to use than his original fire ability, and its power was much weaker.

But it's always better to be able to use it than not to be able to use it.

The second is mental ability.

This is quite troublesome, even more so than spatial abilities, so although there has been progress, it hasn't been significant.

Therefore, there's not much to say.

The third is spatial ability.

Space is a very powerful ability. A single spatial tear is almost impossible to defend against. If Qi Ye wanted to, he could even tear anything in half.

Even the entire universe.
