I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Time flowed slowly in the quiet room, and the night outside the window grew deeper. But the chat group showed no sign of quieting down.

To dispel the underlying tension and to prevent Kanae, who was on a mission in another world, from feeling isolated and helpless, the group members started chatting.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Speaking of which, this kind of cross-world information transmission isn't entirely impossible in magic theory. Perhaps something similar could be achieved by observing the 'root' of higher dimensions. However, the principle behind this chat group is completely inexplicable, which is really infuriating.

【Marin】: Wow! Rin-san is amazing! It sounds so profound!

【Devil Muscle Rin】: This is just basic theory.

Chapter 69 Sakura said... she wants to go to your place.

【Devilish Muscle Rin】: By the way, Mei, is the midnight snack ready? What do you think of Kiana?

[Rice Herald]: Hmm, just finished. It's pork cutlet rice and miso soup, along with some side dishes.

As Mei spoke, she posted a photo in the group chat.

In the photo, a steaming hot pork cutlet rice bowl is placed on an elegant plate. The golden and crispy crust and rich sauce look incredibly appetizing, while the miso soup on the side is garnished with bright green scallions.

【Marin】: Wow! It looks so delicious! I really want to eat it! Mei-neechan's cooking skills have improved so much!

[Sword Maiden]: What a sumptuous meal. Here, late-night meals usually consist of only bread and ale. Lord Kitagawa, what kind of ability is the 'transformation magic' you mentioned earlier? It sounds quite magical.

The topic naturally shifted.

Kitagawa Kaimu immediately perked up and began enthusiastically introducing her abilities and her beloved cosplay culture to this saintess from another world.

From Black Butler to various obscure anime, the two girls from different worlds and with vastly different art styles unexpectedly found themselves getting along very well.

Gu Ye didn't participate in their chat; he simply watched quietly as the messages on the screen refreshed one by one.

He could feel Hai Meng's body rising and falling slightly with the excitement of their conversation, her warm body temperature seeping through the thin fabric.

However, she didn't have the same energy as Gu Ye, and after telling Kanae to "call me if she's in danger," she quickly fell asleep.

Before I knew it, the horizon outside the window was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

The long night has finally come to an end.

Kanae Butterfly's profile picture remained lit, but no message of help was received.

Her news finally broke when the first rays of dawn shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

[Flower Pillar]: Everyone, it's dawn. The mission has been successfully completed, and I'm on my way back to the Butterfly Mansion. Last night... thank you all so much for your company.

Upon seeing this message, the tension that had been building all night finally eased.

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: It's finally over. Seriously, it kept me up all night, and my skin is getting worse. Ms. Kanae, you absolutely mustn't let your guard down; Gu Ye's words usually come true.

[Herrscher of Food]: I'm glad you're safe. Ms. Kanae, please take good care of yourself. Please get some rest when you get back.

【Sword Saintess】: May the Supreme God protect you. May your path be free of gloom.

【Marin】: That's great! Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Kanae! Get some good sleep when you get home!

Kitagawa Kaimu was woken up by Gu Ye. It was already dawn, and it was time for her to wake up.

Upon seeing that Kanae was alright, she happily rolled around on the bed, rolling up the hem of her T-shirt completely to reveal her slender waist and round, perky buttocks. Her smooth skin glowed like milk in the morning light.

On the mountain path back to the Butterfly House, the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated.

Kanae walks along a forest path, the butterfly wing pattern on her haori standing out vividly in the morning light.

She put away the interface that only existed in her mind, but everything that happened last night was as deeply imprinted as a brand.

A chat group that connects different worlds.

A group of unheard-of, yet exceptionally warm-hearted and kind companions.

There's also... a mysterious man who can foresee the future.

Weather forecast... Gu Ye...

She murmured the two names to herself.

Kitagawa Kaimu inadvertently revealed the other person's real name during the chat.

All of this seemed like a fantasy, completely beyond her understanding of the world over the past seventeen years.

But the warm sense of companionship that permeated the entire night was real and tangible.

The feeling was as if, in the cold, dark night, countless lights were shining for her in a distant place.

She raised her hand and gently touched the butterfly hair clip at her temple.

……

The morning sunlight bathed the room in a warm golden hue, but Gu Ye felt no energy whatsoever at the start of a new day.

He leaned against the headboard, holding his phone in one hand, venting his weariness in a chat group.

[Weather Forecast]: Ugh, so annoying, I have to go to school today. I just want to stay home and play video games all day.

This immediately drew a response from Rin Tohsaka.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Huh? You guys haven't been to school since you went back last time? The schools over there are so lax!

Gu Ye's lips curled into a matter-of-fact smile as he tapped his fingers on the screen.

[Weather Forecast]: Of course not. Since I've already skipped class, it feels like a waste not to skip the whole week.

He looked up from his phone screen and down.

The blanket arched into a wonderful curve and was rhythmically undulating slightly.

A few strands of Kitagawa Kaimu's golden hair fell outside the blanket, like flowing golden sand.

Although he couldn't see her face, Gu Ye could feel her hard work.

Just then, Hai Meng's message also appeared in the group. She was clearly multitasking, chatting simultaneously through telepathy.

【Marin】: Yeah, yeah! I took leave too! Of course I have to be with Gu Yejun at a time like this!

Her words were full of self-assured energy, making it impossible to associate her with the image of someone who was diligently "working" at that moment.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: You two are really... never mind, I'll leave you alone. I have some good news for you, I'm going to the Clock Tower for further training soon! That's the holy land for all magicians!

Rin's words were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if she could already see her glorious future as a great magician.

Gu Ye read her comment, a thought stirring within him, and he remembered something else. He casually typed out a line of text.

[Weather Forecast]: Congratulations. By the way, what will happen to Sakura after you leave?

Gu Ye's question about Sakura appeared on the screen, and Rin Tohsaka's fingers, which were typing rapidly, stopped in mid-air.

The chat group fell silent for a moment, everyone seemingly waiting for her reply.

Quite some time later, Rin's message reappeared.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Um... I haven't decided yet. Wait a minute, I'll go ask her what she thinks.

After she finished speaking, her profile picture temporarily went gray, indicating that she had switched to private messaging to contact Sakura.

Just as I thought. Gu Ye thought to himself.

This tendency to falter at crucial moments is truly ingrained in his very being.

However, he does genuinely care about his younger sister.

Only indistinct sobs and Gu Ye's steady breathing remained in the room.

jiǔ ling sān jiǔ 覟

He waited patiently, his body tensing slightly from the constant stimulation.

About ten minutes later, Rin Tohsaka's avatar lit up again and immediately dropped a bombshell.

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: I asked. Sakura said... she wants to go to your place.

This message caused an uproar in the group.

【Marin】: Huh?! Going to Gu Yejun's place?! Why?!

[Herrscher of Food]: This... isn't this a bit too sudden?

【Sword Saintess】: Everything has a cause and effect; perhaps this is also the arrangement of the Supreme God.

Rin Tohsaka also seemed to be overwhelmed by this suggestion.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Of course I refused! How could this be! It's too reckless!

She initially vehemently refuted the claim, but then quickly changed the subject.

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: But I'm really worried about leaving Sakura alone in Fuyuki City. The Clock Tower is a mixed bag, and it's not safe to take her there. So… I discussed it with her. Gu Ye, could she stay with you… for a while? Just a few days! As soon as I settle in at the Clock Tower, I'll bring her over! Please!

She even used the phrase "please," which shows her inner turmoil and urgency.

As expected, this is the outcome. Gu Ye was not surprised by this.

[Weather Forecast]: No problem. My place is quite big, so one more person won't make a big difference.

Just as Gu Ye sent this message, he felt a tightness below him, followed by a gush of heat.

The commotion inside the blankets stopped, and a few seconds later, Kitagawa Kaimu sat down to the side, her face flushed.

Her cheeks and the corners of her mouth were covered with tiny specks.

She didn't care at all, sticking out her pink tongue and carefully licking her lips clean like a kitten before she saw Gu Ye's reply.

"no!"

She immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, knelt on the bed, and glared at Gu Ye with dissatisfaction, "Sakura's here, so what are we going to do for the two of us tonight? Does that mean we can't do what we did before?"

Her voice was filled with grievance and a strong sense of possessiveness, her eyes fixed on Gu Ye as if he had done something heinous.

"what are you thinking?"

Gu Ye reached out and gently wiped away the last trace of skin from her cheek with his fingertips, the gesture natural and intimate. "She's only staying for a few days. Besides, it's just one more person in the house, not locking you up. If you want to do that kind of thing, there are plenty of ways, aren't there?"

His voice carried a soothing smile, and his eyes conveyed a knowing look.

Kitagawa Kaimu looked into Gu Ye's eyes, and her pouting lips slowly relaxed.

She blinked, seemingly digesting the deeper meaning of Gu Ye's words. A few seconds later, a bright smile returned to her face.

"That's right!"

She nodded vigorously, as if she had suddenly realized something. "There are plenty of ways! Hehe!"

In a good mood, she was immediately filled with energy and jumped off the bed, her oversized T-shirt billowing as she moved.

"I'll go tidy up the room now! I need to prepare the cutest room for Sakura! I'll also redecorate my room while I'm at it!"

Humming an off-key song, she excitedly ran out of the room and began her grand plan with great enthusiasm, as if she hadn't been the one protesting just moments before.

Gu Ye watched her energetic back and smiled helplessly before picking up his phone again.

[Weather Forecast]: @DevilMuscleRin's room is already prepared, you can come anytime.

In the living room of the Tohsaka family's house in Fuyuki City, morning light streamed through the classic window frames, casting dappled shadows on the carpet.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of black tea, but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as usual.

Rin Tohsaka gently set down her teacup, making a crisp sound.

She looked at her younger sister sitting on the opposite sofa, a complex emotion in her eyes, and solemnly asked, "Sakura, are you really sure? This is no small matter."

Sakura Matou did not answer immediately. She lowered her eyes and unconsciously twisted the hem of her dress with her fingers.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes no longer showing any hesitation or emptiness, but instead displaying an unprecedented, bright determination.

She nodded vigorously without saying a word, but that gesture said it all.

As she nodded, the image of that man's embrace involuntarily flashed into her mind.

That warm and firm chest, unlike anyone else's, and the strange magic that emanated from his clothes, like sunlight dispelling all gloom.

That moment was the first time in her more than ten years of life that she felt something called "safety".

As long as I'm by that person's side, there will definitely be no problem... there will definitely be no problem.

Rin understood Sakura's determination from her eyes, sighed softly, and stopped trying to persuade her.

Her gaze shifted to Medusa, who stood behind Sakura like a silent statue, and she asked, "Rider, what about you? Where are you planning to go?"
