110. Gaia: Transformation

"Do you know this little girl, Gudako?" Hikigaya asked as he looked at Gudako holding the little girl up high. The girl suddenly appeared beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked if they could play together. She was indeed a child.

"Of course I know, this is Gaia. It turns out that Gaia is such a cute little girl, hehe." Gudako showed a perverted smile.

"Are you the Gaia of this world?" Kratos leaned over and looked at the little girl. His ferocious face scared Gaia so much that she didn't dare to move at all.

"Uh...are you talking about the goddess of the earth? The one in Greek mythology? Then wouldn't that make her an old friend of Kratos?" Hikigaya said with a smile.

"Yes, we are friends." Gaia said, carefully poking Kratos' bald head with her finger, expressing her friendship in this magical way...

"Haha, you're a good child." Kratos smiled like an old father and pinched Gaia's face. This little girl was not the leader of the Titans in his memory.

"When I say Gaia, I mean the will of the planet itself, which was created to protect its own existence." Gudako explained.

"So mysterious? It sounds very powerful." Hikigaya said, and the others looked at Gaia curiously.

"Hehe, I'm not that great." Gaia smiled shyly and turned his head to the side.

"As Gaia, I don't know why you turned into a little girl, but your emotions are quite rich. Are you really the will of this planet?" Kong Ming walked over and looked at the little girl lifted up by Gudako with confusion.

"Because I want to pursue surprises! I have worked hard for a long time to become what I am now." Gaia said excitedly, raising his hands.

"Pursuing surprises... This is not the idea that a planet's will should have..." Kong Ming shook his head in disbelief, becoming even more confused.

"But no one told me what to do." Gaia said seriously.

"Alaya also told me once that the word surprise has nothing to do with me. For a very long time, I knew everything that happened on this planet. It was so strange. I don't know why I didn't want to go on like this during those days. Now I know, that feeling is boredom. The change started from that day. Something that did not belong to this world arrived by chance. At the moment when the world line changed, I... felt like a new life. Although it was very short, it was indeed a brand new experience." Gaia happily shared her story with others.

“The unknown brings surprises,” Gaia concluded.

"I think your idea is very dangerous, Gaia." Kong Ming looked at Gaia with serious eyes, and just as he lit the cigarette, it was extinguished by Kratos.

"Don't smoke in front of children." Kratos said seriously.

"I haven't finished yet. I feel that as long as more things that don't belong to this world come here, maybe the time when I can't see the development of the world clearly will be extended. One day, I can look forward to imagining what will happen in the next second. Everyone in Arad, Yharnam, the Collapse World, Chaldea... this is what you know. With the arrival of more and more new things that don't belong here or even that I can't control, I have become Gaia who only knows what is happening now and doesn't know what will happen in the future. This is life, full of surprises." Gaia opened her little hands and said happily.

"Damn it, I suddenly remembered something bad. Isn't Germany the defending champion? How come they still lost in Moscow after more than 70 years?" Gaia choked up as he spoke. Wait...Aren't you a child? What did you do?

"Oh, so this is a slightly more fantasy version of Detroit: Become Human, or Gaia-chan: I want to become a human or something," Hikigaya commented.

"I think it's okay. You have such an idea and you are trying your best to implement it. You are very motivated, Gaia." Yukinoshita smiled and touched little Gaia's head.

"Hey, no." Gaia scratched his face shyly... He is totally a kid who can't help but be praised.

"Don't you think this is crazy?" Kong Ming looked at the reactions of the people around him in surprise.

"I think this is great. Why don't we all move here after saving Renri?" Gudako nodded with satisfaction. This Gaia is much more interesting than the one on her side.

"Hahaha, what an interesting world. I am very satisfied." Gilgamesh shook the golden wine goblet in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Aren't you afraid of attracting something too powerful that will destroy you? Everything Gaia does should be to protect the planet itself, right?!" Kong Ming couldn't understand it at all. This was totally unreasonable!

"Huh? Is there such a rule? Well... with so many people, there will definitely be one or two who like to commit suicide. Well, maybe I'm special. I'm a special Gaia, different from the others. Others don't know what a surprise is, only I know." As he spoke, little Gaia nodded proudly.

"Besides, you won't watch me get bullied, will you?" Gaia looked at the others pitifully, tears welling up in his eyes.

"However, this world has many defense-level existences, and the Earth will not fall!" Gaia's expression changed instantly, and he clenched his fist and raised it high, shouting confidently.

"This doesn't make sense... This is not Gaia at all..." Squatting on the ground, Kong Ming muttered as if he was doubting his life.

"Don't worry, Kong Ming, otherwise you will have a stomachache again. Isn't it good to have such a cute Gaia-chan?" Komachi stood up gently and patted Kong Ming's shoulder, comforting him.

"Master... Kong Ming... will devote himself to the cause until his death."

What is going on? Komachi could only give Kong Ming an awkward but polite smile.

"I say, Gaia, do you know what would have happened if I hadn't gone to Nippori?" Hikigaya asked curiously.

"As for you, Hikigaya Hachiman, I have some impression of you. Let me think that your youth... will be a love story full of problems." Gaia said slowly.

"Huh?" Yukinoshita's eyes suddenly turned cold and she glared at Hikigaya. The other guys who were watching the fun and enjoying the trouble suddenly fell silent, pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Hiss..." Hikigaya suddenly felt that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

"Hayama Hayato and Totsuka Ayaka, you will be involved in a tangled relationship with these two men who are more than friends but less than lovers, and it will last almost throughout your entire high school period, that's it." Gaia showed a funny smile on his face.

"Two men..." No one knew who was muttering, but everyone looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with doubt.

"O...Onii-chan, have you ever liked...liked men?" Komachi asked in a low and tactful voice, feeling lucky that sister Yukinoshita had won her brother back.

So, I can say that I have made Hikigaya fall in love with women again. Should I be proud of this? Yukinoshita thought helplessly. She also knew Hayato Hayama and Ayaka Totsuka. Tsk, are there actually two men that she needs to be on guard against? Yukinoshita suddenly felt unhappy.

Oh, if I give it to a friend, it’s not a big problem to get in touch with BL occasionally, a gleam of light flashed in Eriri’s eyes.

Is this what Ebina often says? They are all people I know, so exciting... Yuigahama's body began to tremble inexplicably.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense and don't look at me like that, Gaia. Spreading rumors is a criminal act." Hikigaya quickly retorted.

"What about mine?" Yukinoshita asked Gaia, believing that she could turn the tables with her own abilities.

"Well, a female doctor who returned from overseas will either live alone or end up with Hikigaya Hachiman."

"Haha! Yukinoshita, it seems like you really can't escape." Hikigaya laughed mercilessly.

"Puff!" Yukinoshita elbowed Hikigaya directly in the stomach. Even though she was clearly arranged, she couldn't let this guy be so proud. He still likes men, right?

"What about me? What about me?" Yuigahama raised her hand excitedly.

"Yuigahama Yui, you...seem to have had an accident and died young." Gaia said expressionlessly.

"How could this be, this is too much... Such a malicious answer..." Yuigahama lowered her head in frustration.

"Don't be too sad, Captain."

"Wow... I died young, class monitor. That sounds so embarrassing." Yuigahama hugged Fu Hua sadly, seeking comfort.

"As for Eriri, you are crowned king," Gaia said earnestly.

"Huh? I didn't ask anything, and what does being crowned king mean?" Eriri looked confused.

111. Kurumi's Little Notebook

"Have the last saviors of humanity come here? Haha, doesn't this world have its own consciousness? They came here without any difficulty and without any obstruction. In such a world, destroying humanity would be a piece of cake." A young man in a green coat suddenly appeared in the busy street, but no one noticed anything wrong. He just squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, with a smile full of disdain for this new world on his face.

"What?!" The sudden feeling of weightlessness made the young man unable to remain calm, and in a blink of an eye, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. This unexpected development made the young man alert and wondered when the other party would make a move.

"Put away your meaningless little actions, Leif Lionel Flauros."

The guardian of the world? Why didn't he just do it? Leif thought about it and turned around slowly.

"Who are you?" When his real name was called out directly, Leif looked at the girl in front of him solemnly.

The girl who appeared in front of Leif was a woman with long black hair tied into two braids that casually fell on her shoulders. If there was one thing Leif thought was most special about the girl, it was her left eye pupil, which was shaped like a golden clock and was very strange. However, she did not seem to care and had no intention of covering it up.

"Name? Just call me Kurumi. Tell me directly why I asked you to come here. I'm here to negotiate with you, Leif." said the girl named Kurumi.

"Through various means, I have recorded the people, creatures, and strange things that may pose a threat to this world in a small notebook. Your name is also on it, Leif Lionel Flauros, one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon from another world. Oh, you who burned human nature, you are really a terrible arsonist. Your behavior is too unfriendly to firefighters." Kuang San said with a slight exaggeration.

"Well, that's all. And... go back to where you came from, Leif-san. After all, setting fires here at will is a serious violation of the law. You are not welcome in this world." Kuang San raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled at Leif, and raised her hand to make a gesture of asking him to leave.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!" Looking at the interesting girl in front of him, Rafe grinned and clapped.

"It seems that Miss, you have a very unique understanding of the word negotiation." It was the first time that Rafe knew that telling someone to get lost could be so refreshing.

"Oh? I think I've made it very clear, why don't you do it?" Kuang San tilted her head, still with a faint smile on her face.

"Miss, do you think this negotiation is really necessary?" Leif asked back, and the look he gave Kurumi was completely transformed into that of an innocent girl who knew nothing about the world. If the guardian was such a girl, then this world was indeed nothing to be afraid of, and it would probably be a good place for tourism. No wonder those people from Chaldea came back here.

"After all, everyone has the possibility of awakening. Why not give them a chance to try... maybe they will become good people who protect the world." Kurumi lowered her head slightly and murmured to herself. Her voice was so faint, as if she was not saying this to Leif, and her tone was full of nostalgia.

"It's just a routine talk. Your reaction is expected. I didn't expect you to go home obediently after a few words." Kuang San shook her head slightly.

"It's okay. Sending people home is one of my current jobs." Kuang San said with a smile.

She opened her palm and pointed it at Leif. An orange light flashed in Kuang San's hand, and a transparent barrier like broken glass trapped Kuang San and Leif inside. The surrounding space continued to stretch and twist, folding in all directions. At this moment, the two seemed to be in a world in a kaleidoscope.

"Mirror space, fighting here will not affect the outside world. Well, in this respect it is a bit like the inherent barrier in the comics. By the way, the inherent barrier is something from your original world, do you think it is similar?" Looking at Leif, Kuang San said casually.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Comics? But... if it's something like an inherent barrier, then it can be lifted as long as you die." As he said this, Leif curled the corners of his mouth happily. His distorted expression was like a monster in human skin. The magic power of the demon god surged throughout his body, like a real flame.

"Haha, Rafe-san's smile is really bad, has anyone ever told you that?" Although her words sounded completely sarcastic, Kuang San's tone didn't seem to be directed at anyone, it just sounded like an ordinary joke, um... it was basically a sarcasm, right? !

"Emperor Keke." Kuang San said softly, and her clothes were instantly replaced with a black and blood-red Gothic-style spiritual outfit [Divine Power Spirit Outfit·Sanban], the Angel of Time, and a huge clock about twice as tall as Kuang San also appeared behind her at the same time, and retro-styled rifles and pistols also appeared in Kuang San's hands.

"boom"

"Such a big noise was made, and the weapon was just a flintlock rifle with such low power? The noise almost scared me to death." With one hand on his hat, Leif still had his eyes narrowed and a self-righteous smile on his face. The first bullet from Kurumi hit the barrier constructed by Leif with magic power without even a ripple.

"I wanted to try out what I could achieve with just the power of spirits, but as expected... it's not worth mentioning. It's a bit sad... But at least it can be of some use to me." Kuang San sighed slightly.

An orange-red rope that looked like lightning and fire wrapped around Kuang San's palms and the double guns in his hands. He raised the rifles and pulled the triggers. A stream of light suddenly blasted out, the barrier shattered, and flesh and blood exploded. Amid the mixed sounds of the two, Leif's evil smile remained stiffly on his face, cold sweat quietly appeared on his forehead, and his pierced right arm was repairing at an extremely fast speed under the influence of magic.

"Haha, you can still do it if you work hard, biubiu~~" Kuang San looked at the result of this shot with satisfaction.

"Eight Bullet (Het)"

He pointed the pistol at his own temple and fired a shot. A large amount of [Tokisaki Kurumi] poured out from Kurumi's shadow and quickly rushed towards Leif.

Chanting special spells, the Kuang San borrowed energy from other universes and used it to forge more diverse shields or weapons in their hands, or injected it into their own spiritual outfits to break through the boundaries of being elves.

A mysterious magic circle appeared in Kuang San's hands. Although it looked like just an ordinary orange light curtain, as Kuang San waved her hands, it blocked the magic cannons attacking from all angles. Kuang San swung the light ropes in her hands towards Leif, binding Leif tightly while continuously burning Leif's body.

"Alef"

Multiple ancient rifles were spinning at high speed around the main body of Kurumi like a roulette wheel. After using the first bullet to accelerate herself, Kurumi kept pulling the trigger and switching guns. The flintlock rifle with only one round of ammunition was fired at a high enough speed to have the effect of a machine gun, and the light blasted towards Leif's position like a rainstorm.

"Incineration, Flauros!"

The purple flame torrent quickly spread out and submerged Kuang San's clone, then condensed into a deeper beam of light that rushed towards Kuang San, and was finally swallowed up by the round hole that appeared in front of Kuang San.

"Zizzi..."

Sparks suddenly ignited beside Leif, and a "door" leading to somewhere appeared out of thin air, and from it came the magic power that Leif was familiar with, which was his own burning type.

"Oh!"

The flames pouring out of the "door" washed over Leif madly.

"Arrrr!"
