[Traveling between worlds is too easy! Is it really impossible to travel back? I'm a little worried.]
[They were previously dealing with various strange occurrences, and now they've come here; it feels like they're about to do something big.]
[Alchemy, alchemy, alchemy—the best is to refine the elixir of immortality!]
I envy people like you who are so passionate about learning, because I've run out of things to learn and am just waiting for Aragaki-sama to show his skills so I can continue learning.
The Tang Dynasty.
"Shouldn't we build highways around here? The feeling of driving around seems even better than riding a horse."
"The cars can be manufactured, but we don't have that much money to build the highways."
"This matter can enhance the prestige of our Great Tang Dynasty. It would be inappropriate if other countries preemptively took the lead."
Inside the palace, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and others engaged in a lively discussion with Yue Zheng Longya, who had been sent by the Qiming Empire, and others.
The princes admired Aragaki Manami's carefree and joyful life, and thus longed to live a similar life to him; many of them shared this sentiment.
Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and others ignored these whispered conversations.
At this time, there were fewer rules among the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and the same was true for academies and the common people.
The enlightenment and awakening of the people's minds is almost an inevitable trend.
After all, Aragaki Manami's live streams couldn't be kept secret, and a group of people who thrived on chaos spread a lot of knowledge that could greatly impact social unrest, so they couldn't suppress it!
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
Suppression would have the opposite effect.
The Tibetan Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Byzantine Empire were arguably not much weaker than the Tang Dynasty. If they were to fall into internal strife, it would only please them, and they might even secretly add fuel to the fire.
Therefore, apart from suppressing some opinions that were too much of a threat to his rule, Li Shimin had no other options.
We can't just kill everyone.
Call ~
Princess Gaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking her sister Princess Changle for pleading on her behalf; otherwise, she might have been imprisoned until she died of old age. There's no need to elaborate on the ruthlessness of emperors.
To be honest, Princess Chang Le, the older sister, was quite pitiful, but not really that pitiful.
After all, in the past, people might have died of illness after marrying close relatives, unlike now where she's healthy and painless. She's just likely to become an older single woman, because given Aragaki Manami's personality, she's unlikely to marry him...
"Whatever," Princess Gaoyang silently prayed for Princess Chang Le and started watching the live stream.
At this moment, Mana Aragaki was still seemingly taking a aimless drive.
In fact, he was observing the terrain.
As it turned out, there were some differences from what he had imagined, so he had no choice but to continue observing.
Ultimately, if you want to fight, you need to have a certain understanding of the battlefield—to put it bluntly, you should at least check the escape route before you run away, right?
He didn't have the idea of simply hiding in another world if he couldn't win a fight.
This approach can easily foster a sense of entitlement and complacency.
This is actually quite terrifying.
In a high-level battle, he could probably be killed countless times in a single moment, so it's better to be more cautious and assume that he doesn't have the ability to escape.
Of course, he wouldn't be coy when it came to life or death.
The best-case scenario is: it depends.
"Nase Izumi probably still has ulterior motives and will go to Kuriyama Mirai for the sake of her family, asking her to destroy 'Beyond the Boundary'," Aragaki Manami thought to herself, without giving it much thought.
After all, in the original work...
The Nase family eliminated "Beyond the Boundary" not only to increase their prestige, but also because "Beyond the Boundary" was within their jurisdiction, and it would be unreasonable not to target Kuriyama Mirai.
Of course, you can ignore it.
But I reckon anyone who's not completely out of their mind wouldn't ignore it.
But Aragaki Manami hoped they would leave it alone.
Afterwards, instead of going to Yukino Yukinoshita's residence for lunch and dinner, he casually took a fasting pill and continued driving happily.
To be honest, he hadn't driven a car since the year he passed his college entrance exams. It felt like playing bumper cars as a kid—pretty fun...
He didn't go home until 8 p.m.
I pressed the doorbell of Kuriyama Mirai's residence, and then a gaze fell on Aragaki Mana through the peephole before the door opened.
Then a familiar smell wafted over, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "The smell of supermarket-discounted curry. Didn't Yukino-san cook for you?"
"...She went out with Miss Yang Nai and didn't cook dinner."
Kuriyama Mirai looked embarrassed, barely resisting the urge to raise her hand and breathe on it to check—was the smell really that strong?
She then hesitated and stammered, "...Mr. Aragaki, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you felt any better after going out for a walk."
"..." Kuriyama Mirai's expression froze upon hearing this.
Manami Aragaki chuckled, "Looks like you're still not very energetic after walking around. You should get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Kuriyama Mirai felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of dread. She abruptly grabbed Aragaki Manami, who was halfway around, and shouted, "Wait a minute—"
As a result of pulling too hard and because the hem of Aragaki Manami's clothes was too smooth, she suddenly let go and fell backward. Her little hands waved wildly in the air, and her shouts turned into whimpering cries. Aragaki Manami had no choice but to go over and hug her...
Bang! Thud—
The sound of a heavy object falling.
Then, Manami Aragaki acquired a lithe and supple Mirai Kuriyama.

But with the sound of hurried footsteps following the tinkling, he had to face another problem. He looked at a cool and aloof girl running towards him... Yukino Yukinoshita.
He wanted to say something.
Are you a door god?

Chapter 110 Kuriyama Mirai, Twisted into a Maggot! The Blood of the Curse
The door god, Yukino Yukinoshita!
After three encounters with the subtle interactions between Aragaki Mana and Kuriyama Mirai, he was completely deified!
At least that's what Manami Aragaki thinks.
At this moment, his situation with Kuriyama Mirai is as follows—
(>_)
Yukino Yukinoshita, on the other hand, has a perfectly normal expressionless face.
His expression remained unchanged.
This girl's cold image is very strong, and her temperament is also aloof.
Coupled with his indifferent gaze, which seemed to exude a certain coldness, he gave off a rather unapproachable feeling.
In fact, it is true.
Although Manami Aragaki once shouted slogans like "I will always love Yukino Yukinoshita" during her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) period.
But that doesn't mean he can act like a fool and presumptuously increase Yukino Yukinoshita's affection level just by doing a few things.
Because reality is too harsh, Manami Aragaki doesn't even bother to fantasize.
He prefers what is within easy reach.
However, no matter what is said, the misunderstanding should be cleared up at this point.
"Waaaah..." Having already spotted Yukino Yukinoshita, Mirai Kuriyama simply covered her burning, flushed face with both hands and turned it to the side, as if she wanted to bury her head in the floor.
Manami Aragaki, who was holding Kuriyama Mirai, also let go of her, and she writhed on the ground like a maggot...
Manami Aragaki looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who stood there like a stone statue, silent and still.
He said slowly, "Kuriyama fell down, and I protected her from hitting her head on the ground. As a result, we both fell down, and that's what you see now."
He no longer expected to help explain the situation to Kuriyama Mirai, who had disconnected from his life, when faced with such an embarrassing situation.
"I see. Well then, I won't disturb your conversation any longer."
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded to Manami Aragaki to indicate that she understood, then walked towards her residence, opened the door with a click, went in, and closed it with a bang.
She seemed to be just a passerby.
Heartless passersby.
As for Kuriyama Mirai, who was trying to play dead, she gradually stopped writhing, as if time had stopped.
Seeing this, Aragaki Manami was completely unable to look at him directly.
It's not exactly unbearable to look at.
The live stream had already ended by evening, so he enjoyed this private time. At least he was quite happy to see Kuriyama Mirai pretending to be dead on the ground.
Her slender, beautiful legs, encased in smooth, supple black stockings, shimmered under the lights, radiating an alluring luster.
The slightly naive and innocent girl was incredibly beautiful and charming at that moment.
Manami Aragaki was admiring the beauty.
Of course, he couldn't let the silence continue: "Is something wrong? Why did you suddenly pull me?"
Slightly embarrassed, Kuriyama Mirai lowered her head and looked at the floor, muttering to herself, "...When I went out this morning, a woman named Nase Izumi asked me to kill a youmu."
Aragaki Manami gave a soft "oh," and continued, "Did she tell you about me?"
Mirai Kuriyama shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Aragaki Manami looked at Nase Izumi with newfound respect, realizing that her skill in bewitching people was truly top-notch.
After all, although she had only spent a few days with Kuriyama Mirai, she was at least her only support in the world at the moment.
