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

Kiana casually helped them up.

"Miss Seele, why don't you go and rest too?"

Rita smiled and suggested, "Drifting in the Sea of ​​Quanta for a long time must have taken a huge toll on you."

Mentioning this, Xi'er's eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and whispered, "I...I didn't expect it to turn out like this. 'I' and I took turns traveling, thinking we were going fast, but still...If I could have stopped earlier, wouldn't Mr. Gu Ye have had to work so hard..."

"this is not your fault."

Bronya immediately interrupted her, pulling her into her arms. "The one who's wrong is the person who pushed us to this point. The most important thing now is for you to rest and recover."

"That's right,"

Kanae Kocho gently comforted her, "Let's think about what to do next after you've all recovered."

Finally, after everyone's persuasion, Seele agreed to go and rest.

Bronya naturally took on the responsibility of caring for her and led her to the room next to Gu Ye's.

In the hall, the remaining people quickly divided up the tasks.

"Please leave the matter of taking care of Lord Gu Ye to me."

Rita readily accepted the task, saying, "I will prepare the most suitable nutritious meals for him and monitor his physical condition at all times."

"I...I want to help too!"

Mei immediately raised her hand, her eyes full of pleading, "Please let me learn from here. I also want to do something for Gu Ye."

Rita glanced at her, a knowing smile flashing in her eyes: "Of course, Miss Mei."

As a result, a wonderful and harmonious order formed inside the train over the following period of time.

Rita and Mei stayed by Gu Ye's room almost every step of the way, one taking professional care of him and the other taking care of him clumsily but attentively.

Bronya devoted herself to staying by Seele's side, talking to her, telling her stories about what was happening outside, and helping her gradually dispel the gloom in her heart.

Meanwhile, Kiana, W, Rin Tohsaka, and Kaimu Kitagawa, who couldn't stay still, took the opportunity to thoroughly "sightsee" in this peculiar world bubble.

They discovered that this world bubble was almost identical to the real world, except that it lacked the people they knew. It had convenience stores, arcades, and even movie theaters.

After two days and two nights of sleep under Bronya's meticulous care, Seele finally woke up and felt much better.

Gu Ye, on the other hand, slept for three days and two nights.

Consciousness rises slowly from the deep sea, the surrounding noise gradually filtered out, eventually converging into a clear, steady heartbeat.

Gu Ye's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is a wooden ceiling carved with classical patterns.

He turned his stiff neck and saw Mei sleeping soundly by the bedside, and Rita smiling as she held a bowl of hot porridge.

"You're awake, Lord Gu Ye."

Rita's voice was soft and pleasant, "How are you feeling?"

The fragments of memory in his brain quickly pieced together—tracking Seele, confronting Kevin, finding the orphanage… and then, his consciousness was cut off.

He quickly grasped the situation and asked, his voice a little hoarse from not speaking for a long time, "How is Seele? Is she alright?"

"You still have the nerve to care about others!"

Mei, who was lying by the bed, was startled awake. She suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes bloodshot. When she saw Gu Ye wake up, she was first delighted, but then she couldn't suppress her reproach and fear.

"Do you know how worried everyone was when you suddenly collapsed! What if you didn't wake up? Don't you care about your own health at all?"

She became more and more emotional as she spoke, and her eyes even reddened.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Looking at her anxious expression, Gu Ye felt a warmth in his heart.

He tried to sit up and explained, "I know my own body best. I'm just too tired."

He licked his dry lips and found them somewhat sweet.

He leaned against the headboard, took the water glass Rita handed him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued, "I'm not familiar with the environment of the Sea of ​​Quanta. I spent too much energy trying to pinpoint Seele's location in the countless world bubbles. Moreover, manipulating a divine key like the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle consumes far more mental energy than I imagined. Otherwise, I could have held on for a while longer."

As Gu Ye spoke, he sat up and began to move his hands and feet. The long period of unconsciousness caused his joints to make a slight "clicking" sound.

"I feel like my body is rusting."

he said to himself.

"Deserve it!"

Mei rolled her eyes at him, but still stepped forward and carefully took his arm. "Can we walk now? Everyone is waiting for you in the lobby."

When Gu Ye walked into the hall with Mei's help, all eyes turned to him.

Kiana and W are arguing about the outcome of a fighting game, while Rin Tohsaka watches the spectacle with her arms crossed.

On the other side, Bronya sat quietly, while Seele nestled beside her, whispering something.

Upon seeing Gu Ye appear, Xi'er's body visibly stiffened. Then, like a startled rabbit, she immediately stood up from the sofa, ran quickly to Gu Ye, and bowed deeply.

"sorry!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with self-blame, "It's all because of me that you... that you've become like this! If only I had stopped sooner!"

"It's none of your business."

Gu Ye raised his hand to pat her head, but found himself still a little weak, so he had to give up.

He said gently, “It’s normal to be scared and want to run away when you’re trapped in that kind of place. Besides, even without me, I believe Bronya would definitely be able to find you.”

"Do not."

Bronya, who had been silent all along, walked over. She looked up and gazed intently at Gu Ye with her gray eyes.

“Bronya alone cannot do these things.”

She said, word by word, "If it weren't for Brother Gu Ye, Bronya might never have met Seele. So, thank you, Brother Gu Ye."

Chapter 89: The sunset is the perfect setting for a confession!

Dinner was more lavish than I had imagined.

Rita and Mei teamed up and used almost all the top-quality ingredients in the Thousand Worlds Ichigen to make a large table of delicious and visually appealing dishes, including meats to replenish their energy and exquisite desserts.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively and warm. W and Kiana almost got into a fight over the last piece of roast meat, while Kitagawa Kaimu enthusiastically told Seele about the interesting things happening in the outside world.

After a satisfying meal, Gu Ye wiped his mouth with a napkin, cleared his throat, and announced, "Alright, now that everyone's here and rested enough, let's go home!"

"no!"

His words were met with unanimous opposition from all the female members, led by Mei.

"You've just woken up, and you're still very weak."

Mei was the first to step forward, her attitude resolute: "You haven't been eating properly these past few days while you've been unconscious. You need to rest for a few more days and recover completely before you can go back!"

"Mei is right!"

Fiberglass

Kiana chimed in, "You look worse than if I had beaten you up."

"That's right, Gu Ye, health is the foundation of everything!"

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded vigorously.

Even Kanae Kocho and Durandal, who rarely express their opinions, cast disapproving glances their way.

Gu Ye originally intended to assert his authority as the Lord of the Thousand Realms and forcefully decide on the itinerary.

But looking at the girls' concerned faces, he finally sighed helplessly and surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll rest for two more days."

The next day, Gu Ye was noticeably better.

To prevent his body from actually rusting, he was doing some basic rehabilitation exercises in his room when Kitagawa Kaimu burst in like a gust of wind.

"Gu Ye! Don't stay cooped up in your room!"

She was wearing a trendy crop top and hot pants, her long blonde hair tied into a playful side ponytail, radiating youthful energy. "I just scouted it out, there's a huge shopping mall in this world bubble! Let's go shopping! It'll be a great way to recharge!"

Before Gu Ye could refuse, she took his arm as if they were old friends and practically dragged him off the train.

The shopping mall was bustling with people, full of the vibrancy of daily life.

Kitagawa Kaimu, like a happy butterfly, dragged Gu Ye from the first floor to the fifth floor, from clothing stores to game merchandise stores, and had to examine any new or interesting things she saw.

"Wow! Look at this! It's a limited edition figure from 'Magical Girl☆Obsidian'! Really?!"

"Gu Ye, what do you think of this dress? Isn't it super cute?"

Gu Ye was exhausted by her boundless energy, but looking at the bright smile on her face, he didn't feel annoyed at all.

Finally, Hai Meng stopped in front of a lingerie store. She picked up a boldly designed black lace lingerie set, held it up in front of herself, and then turned to wink slyly at Gu Ye.

"Hey, Gu Ye, why don't you come in and try it out with me?"

Without a word, she pushed Gu Ye into the spacious fitting room and then locked the door behind her.

The fitting room was cramped and dimly lit.

Hai Meng tossed the underwear aside, turned around, and pinned Gu Ye against the wall.

"I've been waiting for this day for a very long time."

She licked her lips, her eyes burning with an undisguised blaze.

Hehehe...

After a few days of rest, Gu Ye's body has basically recovered to its peak condition.

That afternoon, he was undergoing intensive wave training in the train's training room when the door was pushed open.

It's Durandal.

She changed into a tight-fitting black training outfit, which perfectly accentuated her well-toned and alluring figure.

Her long, pale golden hair was tied up high, and her blue eyes burned with pure fighting spirit.

"Gu Ye".

She got straight to the point, saying, "Let's have a friendly spar."

"Discussion?"

Gu Ye stopped what he was doing and looked at her with some surprise.

"Yes."

Durandal's expression was serious and earnest. "I want to see for myself how much your strength has recovered. As your comrade, I need to accurately assess your combat power."

That reason is really in line with her style.

Gu Ye chuckled inwardly, but agreed aloud, "Sure, I was just looking forward to stretching my muscles too."

The two did not use any weapons or abilities; they fought solely based on the purest fighting skills.

Their fists and feet clashed, producing a dull thud.

Durandal's offensive was like a storm, each strike precise and fierce, exuding the oppressive aura of an S-rank Valkyrie.

Gu Ye, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. His movements, though seemingly simple, always managed to deflect the opponent's attacks and launch a counterattack at the most crucial moments.

The intense battle lasted for more than half an hour, leaving both players drenched in sweat, and ultimately ended in a draw.

"Your fighting techniques are strange, but very practical."

Durandal commented as she wiped her sweat with a towel, her cheeks flushed with a healthy rosy glow from the intense exercise, "It seems you've fully recovered."

"My apologies, Lord Gu Ye."

1. The old man is so handsome

Gu Ye had just come out of the training room when Rita blocked his way at the door. She was still wearing that elegant maid outfit, with an impeccable smile on her face.
