The shuttle in the second dimension

　The moment he opened the door, Lin Xuan saw a purple figure throwing himself into his arms.

　Feeling the soft body in his arms, Lin Xuan gently reached out and embraced the body in his arms.

　'Long time no see~~~Sakura~~~' Lin Xuan thought silently in his heart as he sniffed the fragrance emanating from Sakura's hair.

　"I'm back, Sakura--"

　"Hmm..." Xiaoying responded softly and hugged Lin Xuan tightly, as if she was afraid that Lin Xuan would disappear.

　"Hmm?" As if sensing Xiaoying's movements, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to gently stroke Xiaoying's purple hair. "What's wrong?"

　"It's nothing - brother." Sakura said softly, her face buried in Lin Xuan's arms and shaking gently.

　"Is that so?" Xiaoying didn't say anything, and Lin Xuan didn't force her to answer.

　The two of them just hugged each other gently, and a warm atmosphere emerged naturally.

　but--

　"Cough cough cough!!"

　The next moment, a cough suddenly broke out, breaking the warm atmosphere. Rin, standing not far behind Sakura, looked gloomily at the two people hugging at the door. One could even see a trace of resentment emanating from her.

　"Uh—Rin-chan, what's going on?" Lin Xuan pulled his lips and looked at Rin, who looked resentful. Hey, hey, hey, we had such a good atmosphere just now, and you ruined it just like that!? Please, can you please pay attention to the atmosphere?!

　"Nothing, I'm just a little disappointed that someone didn't disappear, huh!!" After saying that, he turned his head and left.

　"Puchi——" Seeing Lin's look, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

　"Brother~~~" Seeing Lin Xuan laughing, Xiaoying gave Lin Xuan a reproachful look, "Go and see your sister quickly. I was very worried when you were fighting with sa-ver before~~~" Pushing Lin Xuan, Xiaoying said with a smile.

　"I understand - our Xiaoying is so well-behaved, always thinking about others." Letting go of Xiaoying's hand, Lin Xuan gently tapped her fair forehead and smiled.

　"Brother, come on, I'll take Saber and the others to change into some clothes that fit them first." Sakura said obediently, glancing at Saber and the other two who were wearing ill-fitting clothes.

　"Hmm..." Lin Xuan responded by patting her head gently.

　"You can take them over. It's just right. They just got their bodies and are still not used to some things. You can talk to them."

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan rushed in the direction where Lin had left.

　"When will Lin be as worry-free as Sakura~~~~" Lin Xuan sighed softly and shook his head.

　"I'm so sorry that I can't be as obedient as Sakura!!!" Listening to the gnashing of teeth in his ears, Lin Xuan held his forehead helplessly and sighed, "Rin, eavesdropping on people's conversations is not a good habit~~~~"

　"Who, who eavesdropped? It was you who spoke so loudly~~~~" Lin muttered with a red face.

　"Okay, you're so old, but you're still like a child." Lin Xuan said, shaking his head after gently tapping Lin's forehead.

　"Who's acting like a child?!" Lin Xuan stared at him dissatisfiedly, as if to say, "If you don't explain clearly, I'll be angry with you."

　"What do you think? Who was it that just left angrily for no reason?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

　"It's not for no reason~~~~" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin muttered in a low voice with a gloomy face. However, the next moment, she felt herself being wrapped in a warm embrace.

　"Hi hi~~~I know——" Holding Lin gently, Lin Xuan whispered softly in Lin's ear.

　Burying her face in Lin Xuan's arms, Lin hummed softly.

　……

　"It feels really good to have a physical body. It feels different from the Heroic Spirit state~~~" In the living room, Joan of Arc took a sip of tea in the cup and said with a raised mouth.

　"Besides, we can stay here directly without having to return to Valhalla." Lin Xuan opened the door and walked into the living room while looking at Joan of Arc and said.

　However, compared to Lin Xuan's smiling face, Joan of Arc seemed to remember something when she saw Lin Xuan, and her face began to become a little gloomy. She glared at Lin Xuan fiercely and didn't look at Lin Xuan anymore.

　The most important thing is that Joan of Arc's performance was like a fuse. Even Saber (white) and Saber (blue)'s faces suddenly turned gloomy, and they glared at Lin Xuan fiercely one after another.

　"Uh..." When he saw the reactions of Joan of Arc and the other two, Lin Xuan almost guessed what they were thinking. As for the fact that he had seen their bodies naked, Lin Xuan could only touch his nose awkwardly and pretend not to know.

　"Huh?" Looking at the four strange people, Lin, who walked out from behind Lin Xuan, had a hint of confusion in his eyes, not knowing what was wrong with the four of them.

　"Brother, you guys..." When a plate of cut fruit was brought out from the kitchen, Xiaoying saw the strange atmosphere between Lin Xuan, Jeanne and the other three in the living room.

　"..."

　Lin Xuan didn't know what to say now. The atmosphere was really not suitable for speaking.

　……

　One month later

　In the past month, Lin Xuan can be said to have accompanied Xiaoying and the others to play for a month, including amusement parks, beaches, shopping, etc. In short, wherever Xiaoying and the others wanted to go, Lin Xuan took them there.

　At midnight, on the rooftop of Matou's house

　Lin Xuan sat alone on the roof, looking up at the starry sky, wondering what he was thinking.

　"It's time to go~~~ It's time to go back to the world of the God Slayer~~~~"

　"System, start shuttling—"

　The moment Lin Xuan finished speaking, the entire world suddenly lost its color, and time—was stopped—

Chapter 3 Return

　"Are you finally back——" In the room, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

　"Although I haven't left this world for even a minute—" Lin Xuan stood up, propping himself up on his knees. "But it's been almost four years since I left here." Lin Xuan sighed.

　"After experiencing two worlds, my strength has become stronger than before~~~"

　Whether it was the dozens of days he spent in the Type-Moon world or the four years he spent in the Bloodthirsty Assault world, they all provided considerable help to Lin Xuan's improvement in strength. The help came not only from the [King's Treasure] and [The Evil of This World] he plundered, and the twelve disaster-like beasts controlled by the Fourth True Ancestor, but also from the control over his own power and the different understanding of his own power that he had forged through battles and the precipitation of time.

　All of this has led to a qualitative leap in Lin Xuan's strength, allowing him to more easily utilize all of his strength and making the transitions between different powers smoother. Furthermore, after experiencing the two Holy Grail Wars and the various battles, large and small, in the world of Bloodthirsty Assault, his combat awareness has also improved, allowing him to more quickly analyze his opponent's strength and formulate countermeasures.

　"Come to think of it, I haven't seen them for a long time~~~ Let's go and meet them." 310 said, and Lin Xuan pushed open the door of his room.

　Lin Xuan left around 1 or 3 in the evening, so as soon as he opened the door, he saw Athena and the other two sitting in the living room.

　Looking at the three people in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time, a complex emotion flashed across Lin Xuan's blue eyes. If he wasn't afraid of scaring Athena and the other two, Lin Xuan would have wanted to hold them in his arms.

　However, although Lin Xuan concealed it well, the sharp-eyed Athena still saw something, not emotionally, but physically.

　"Lin Xuan, what on earth happened to you? You said before that you needed to comprehend something and seclude yourself for a period of time. However, from the time you entered the room to the time you came out, it was only less than three minutes, but your aura has changed significantly. In particular, you now give me a feeling that you are even more dangerous than before. Can you tell me what happened to you during these three minutes of seclusion?"

　"Huh!?" Athena's words attracted the attention of Yuri and Liliana at the same time, and the two women looked at Lin Xuan at the same time.

　"What a sharp feeling, Athena," Lin Xuan said with a hint of surprise, raising his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that Athena would notice the change in his aura as soon as he came out. However, Lin Xuan had thought about similar situations beforehand, so he had prepared some countermeasures to deal with this situation.

　"It's just that I have mastered some new powers..." Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, as if he was happy that he had mastered new powers.

　"Oh!?" Athena glanced at Lin Xuan with a slight surprise. She had never thought that Lin Xuan could control a new power. However, the next moment, she felt something was wrong. She looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression.

　"You have been in the room for less than three minutes, and now you tell me that you have mastered new power. Could it be that the new power you have mastered suddenly appeared from your body!?" Athena said unhappily, giving Lin Xuan a blank look.

　Looking at Athena's unhappy look, Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, then sat beside her and said.

　"Have you forgotten my power over time? I previously expended a great deal of magical energy to reverse the flow of time around me. Although, in your eyes, I only entered the room for less than three minutes, I actually experienced almost four years inside the room."

　"Ah!? Four years!!" x2

　With their eyes wide open, Liliana and Yuri looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.

　"Oh~~~ four years." She looked Lin Xuan up and down, as if she wanted to see the passage of time from him, but the final result disappointed her. She could not find any traces of time on Lin Xuan's body, and he still looked like a teenager.

　"Well, I just figured out this ability not long ago. I use that power to directly affect the time and space around me, distort it, and speed up or slow down the flow of time around me. It can be used to meditate on something in seclusion. It can be said to be a good ability, but it consumes a lot of mana." Lin Xuan explained with his elbows resting on the armrest and his palms supporting his head.

　He couldn't tell anyone about the system's affairs because he didn't have enough authority. Telling them would only cause him more trouble, so he could only explain it to Athena and the other three. However, what Lin Xuan said was not entirely false. He could indeed use the power of "Controller of Time" to distort the time and space around him, so as to speed up or slow down the flow of time around him, making it possible for others to spend a few minutes while he would spend several years.

　"Really? However, this ability cannot be used if the life span is not enough. If you are not careful, you will lose a lot of life." Athena thought, gently resting her right hand on her chin.

　"But, do you think I'm someone whose life span is too short?" Lin Xuan shrugged nonchalantly. Liliana and Yuri rolled their eyes at Lin Xuan, feeling he was boasting about his long life and not fearing exhaustion.

　"But..." Lin Xuan said at this time, "Although this ability can allow me to 'save' a lot of time, it still has some limitations. It can't be used all the time, and the consumption is also quite huge."

　"Of course, if it is only used sometimes, it is still quite practical." Lin Xuan said happily with a raised mouth.

　"It seems that you are very satisfied with this 'retreat'. Even I can feel your emotions." Looking at Lin Xuan with a smile on his face, Athena narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

　"What makes me happiest is seeing you. After all, in my eyes, we haven't seen each other for four years." Supporting his chin, Lin Xuan looked at Athena and the other three with a smile.

　After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Athena and the other two reacted differently. Athena glanced at Lin Xuan lightly, slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and it was unknown what she was thinking. Liliana turned her face away with a flushed face, and Yuri lowered her head, but looking at her red earlobes, you can imagine what her face looks like now.

　Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

　"It's good to be back..."

Chapter 4: Seiakiin Ena

　As an agent of the official history compilation committee, the national agency that controls magicians and sorcerers in Japan, Amakasu Touma said that he hasn't had a good night's sleep in recent days. Although he has received training that is no less than that of a regular sorcerer, staying up late for a few days is nothing for him, but the sudden increase in workload still makes him feel uncomfortable.

　Ever since Japan had two kings, he felt that the affairs on his shoulders began to increase dramatically. The king, Kusanagi Godou, was still okay. As the king of his own country, this king was relatively obedient. This was the case now. But the other king, the one who was forced out of that country by the martial arts king, was not so obedient.

　The battle with the Sword King, the battle with the King Kusanagi Godou, and the battle with Marquis Vauban, these three battles all caused considerable losses to Japan. These were only his battles in Japan, not counting his battles in other countries.

　Now, he was at the foot of a deep mountain, leaning against the door of his car with a tired look on his face, and sighed softly, "Alas~~~~ What on earth are those old people thinking? They know the king's temper, but they are not afraid... Alas~~~"

　However, just as Amakasu Touma finished speaking, a voice responded from behind him.

　"Ena doesn't know what Grandpa is thinking. He didn't let her out when he invited King Kusanagi last time, but he did when he invited this king. But since Grandpa has given the order, Ena can only do as he is told."

　It was a light and pleasant voice like a silver bell, which made people want to peek into the true face of the owner of the voice.

　Originally, as a professionally trained sorcerer, he shouldn't have been unaware when someone approached him, but apparently, the owner of that voice did. From this, Amakasu Touma concluded that the other party's strength was superior to his own.

　The sudden sound attracted Touma Amakasu's attention. When he turned his head, he saw a young girl walking out of the mountains.

　Her black and beautiful hair fluttered gently in the breeze, her wine-red eyes sparkled with clear light, and there was a faint smile on her delicate face. The ethereal and beautiful aura on her body made her like an elf walking out of the forest.

　The girl was dressed like a high school girl, although she exuded a temperament and charm that was completely different from that of a student.

　"It's you, Miss Ena. When those people told me to come here to pick up a shrine maiden, I thought of you. I didn't expect it to be you~~~~" Amakasu Touma smiled with his eyes narrowed, glancing obscurely at the long cloth bag carried behind the girl.

　"Please come and pick me up~~~Mr. Amakasu Touma." The girl, whom Amakasu Touma called 'Miss Ena', bowed slightly and stroked the hair by her ear, speaking softly.

　The girl's name is Kiyoakiin Ena, and she is the one that Amakasu Touma came here to pick up.

　"Miss Ena, you're too polite," Amakasu Touma shook his head and said with a wry smile, "But why would those people go to that king now? That king's personality is nothing like that of King Kusanagi. He would definitely start a fight with those people if they disagreed. If possible, I don't want them to meet that king."
