I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

"I'm confused... I should look like a beautiful girl, right?"

"It's beautiful, but before that, let me explain the situation: why you're here, and your relationship with Oronis."

Su Yang quickly regained his composure.

His main purpose in coming here was to find Ellie, but Ellie's appearance was too mysterious, and there were some things he didn't understand at all.

At this moment, Xia Die and Da Ti Bao also came over.

Xia Die's gaze kept shifting back and forth between Su Yang and the pink-haired beauty in mid-air.

"Su Yang, who is that?"

“Her name is Alicia. We had some contact in a strange space before, and it was she who guided me here.”

"Her name is... Mimi!"

"Yes, she said her name is Alicia."

“....." Alicia completely gave up on arguing with Su Yang about the name.

Because she still has some language barriers, she definitely can't win against Su Yang in an argument.

"So, Miss Alicia, is she connected to Oronis?" Xia Die also looked at the pink-clad beauty flying in mid-air.

All the questions now fell on Alicia, who was in mid-air.

"...I'm just as confused as you are. I just noticed the lonely Eulonis a long time ago and wanted to keep him company."

“Sa...ha..."

The Titans' whispers echoed once more.

Alicia looked slightly melancholy as she turned to look at Su Yang and the others:

“He told me to go with you.”

"Then let's go together."

Su Yang didn't understand the situation.

But it's definitely the right thing to do to kidnap Ellie first.

The quill appeared when he was first glanced at by the [Memory] Star God, and it seems that this is why Oronis showed such an unusual reaction to him.

But Oronis spent most of his time solving riddles, and communication was very difficult to establish.

"You've all asked your questions, but we have a lot more to ask too!"

Alicia puffed out her cheeks slightly, then angrily flew to Su Yang and stood at his level:

"Why did they turn out like this?!"

"I don't even know how you got out, asking me won't help," Su Yang said with a wry smile.

"So, they were summoned by you, but after being processed by your [memories], they became like this!"

"Then do you think the pink puppy is cuter?" Su Yang took out his phone, switched to selfie mode, and pointed the screen at Alicia.

"Huh? Who is this beautiful girl? Could it be me?" Ellie pinched her cheek.

"Yes."

"Mi~ It seems you have good taste after all. I forgive you." Ellie couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, seemingly admiring her own beauty.

“…”

Su Yang remained silent, only quietly adjusting the X-ray glasses he had inadvertently summoned.

He saw the underdeveloped, emaciated body.

[Alicia]

[Oral diet: 0]

[Positive chest cavity movement: 0]

[Foot massage: 0]

[Ordinary Road: 0]

[Back Mountain Path: 0]

The analysis works normally, and the name Alicia was also 'named' by him.

Perspective can still be used.

In addition, Su Yang also realized that he now had a strange connection with Ai Li.

But the biggest problem is that Ellie isn't big enough; she's too small.

He had some impression of [Little Ellie], but it was definitely not as memorable as [Big Ellie].

If it really came from his [memory], then it should be the older Alicia.

Very strange.

However, Su Yang also knew that his doubts were unlikely to be answered, so he could only leave them aside.

.....

Ohma.

After completing her mission, the red-haired Great Saintess transformed into three smaller versions of herself, each going off to attend to their own affairs.

Xia Die escorted Su Yang all the way back to his residence.

"Does Miss Alicia need to be summoned by Su Yang to appear?" Xia Die looked at Su Yang with some doubt.

"Yes, we've formed a strange connection. Let her rest for now, and then let her meet with Mei-nee later."

"...Su Yang, things are temporarily over. Don't you want to get some rest?"

"No way, I don't think we did anything. Those low-level thugs didn't even launch an attack after all that." Su Yang sighed.

The process of bringing Ellie back was so easy that it felt unreal to him, and he was instead filled with more confusion.

"But you've been so busy lately that you haven't had a proper rest in a long time. Lady Aglaia also asked me to talk to you after this is over."

"Didn't I sleep for a long time after treating the three little ones? Oh right... how do I find Saifeier if I want to?"

"Su Yang, are you still looking for Lady Sai Fei'er?"

"Yes, I promised Aglaia that I would try to help ease the tension between her and Saifeier, or at least help her find out the reason."

“…”

“You also said before that I might get along well with that Na Ke Xia, and I should find an opportunity to meet him. Maybe we can explore the truth of the world together.”

“…”

"Oh, right, that old lady's son hasn't come back yet. I have a feeling he's in danger outside. I still need to go outside the city..."

Before Su Yang could finish speaking...

Suddenly, Xia Die hugged him.

"Su Yang!"

"...What's wrong?" Su Yang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Please, just get some rest, okay?" Xia Die's voice trembled slightly, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

Chapter 36 Mei and Alicia

"Xia Die, I'm really fine. I told you before, I won't force myself."

Su Yang gently wiped away the tears that were gradually sliding down Xia Die's eyes.

But this action only made Xia Die unable to suppress her grief, and she hugged Su Yang tightly again.

“But Su Yang, you’ve always been helping others! The only thing we can do for you is accompany you on this trip… such a trivial thing.” Xia Die’s voice trembled uncontrollably.

Su Yang was the only person she could touch and embrace, and that alone was enough for her to cherish him.

Not to mention, Su Yang also dispelled her nightmares, allowing her to enjoy a long-lost sense of relaxation.

Even when he learned of the bad rumors about her, Su Yang still took her with him and ran in public, transforming himself into a death knight.

...But she hasn't done anything for Su Yang yet.

"I have never asked you for feedback; just consider it my wishful thinking."

"It's because you're so gentle that I feel guilty and want to do something for you."

"Then, Xia Die, take off your clothes." Su Yang released the hug, gently pressed Xia Die's shoulders, and said seriously.

"Eh?"

Xia Die's tears stopped, and the sorrow that had just been welling up instantly turned into astonishment.

"Come on, consider it a way of thanking me, and also to make me feel relaxed and let me appreciate the view under your clothes."

"Eh? Su, Su Yang, are you serious?" When Xia Die met Su Yang's serious gaze, her cheeks quickly flushed red, even turning red to the roots of her ears.

"Yes, I'm very serious. To me, Xia Die is like a pure goddess, and there's no better reward than this."

"I, I, but this..." Xia Die lost her ability to speak; her blush spoke louder than any words.

"Don't worry, I was just joking."

After all, if you want to see it, you just need to accidentally activate the X-ray glasses.

"Huh?" Xia Die was stunned again.

"Does it make me seem less great? I'm just an ordinary person who likes to make funny jokes and happens to have some special abilities."

"...Su Yang, you bad guy." Xia Die glared at Su Yang reproachfully, then wiped her still-dry eyes.

"Yes, I am bad, and please let me emphasize again that what I did was simply because I wanted to do it, and most of it was just a small thing, so making it too grand would only make me feel a little overwhelmed."

“Then you should get more rest.” Xia Die still didn’t back down on this point.

"I think I've had quite a lot of rest."

Although he usually spars with Huang Quan in his dreams, he is always drawn into [memories] after [replying].

"But won't you be overwhelmed by pain after the treatment ends?"

"It was just a nightmare, and besides, it was a kind of experience for me."

"Then, Su Yang, don't you still have your own [curse]..."

"That's fine, it only happens once a week, and it might not even trigger."

Su Yang had almost forgotten about the weekly quests, and he almost forgot that he had called this thing a [curse].

"Well."

Xia Die was clearly persuaded by Su Yang.

She had given up on advising Su Yang to get some rest.

“Xia Die, to be honest, I received a lot of benefits after using [Reply] on you. You have already given me all the rewards. We are mutually beneficial.”

"But I didn't do anything; I was just enjoying myself..."

"Well then, if you really feel bad about it, come here every morning to check in, and it would be best if you changed to a different style of stockings every day."

"Huh? Su Yang, you're joking again..."

"This is no joke."

"...?"

"I am serious."

“…”

"How about trying black stockings once in a while?"

“…”

"Lace-trimmed, camisole, knee-length, pantyhose."
