That being said, Jiu Xiao seemed to have forgotten that he was just a kid who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time.
The girl was still dazed, and it took her a few seconds to realize that something was wrong.
"Man, man! Don't look! Turn around!"
Even Sanwu's voice carried a hint of fear.
"Why am I here? Aren't I on a mission?"
Countless questions and speculations flooded the girl's mind, and just as she was caught in a predicament of self-doubt, Jiu Xiao spoke up.
“Yesterday afternoon, you suddenly fell from the sky into the sea. I happened to see it and pulled you out of the sea. You were soaked in seawater, and I was afraid you would get hypothermia or catch a cold, so I took off your clothes and put my coat on you. Of course, it was my fault for taking off a girl's clothes without permission, but it was an emergency, and I hope you can understand.”
After clearing his throat twice to ease the awkwardness, Jiu Xiao continued, "If I said I didn't see anything, you probably wouldn't believe me, right?"
After a long silence, the girl slowly spoke: "I remember now. Yesterday I was tracking an alien army when suddenly a vortex appeared in front of me. I couldn't dodge in time and crashed into it. I don't remember anything after that."
Jiuxiao noticed something significant in the girl's words. Hmm? The Alien Army. Could it be that he had transmigrated into the world of the 'Strike Witch' (nicknamed the Flying Panties Witch)?
Combining this with the girl's attire—short silver hair, black stockings—and her weapon, the case is solved! You must be Sania! Because over ten years have passed, Jiu Xiao only remembers the general plot, but he vividly recalls the distinct personalities of the main characters.
While still in a daze, Sania checked herself and found nothing wrong except for a slight soreness in her chest. The girl breathed a sigh of relief. Looking around, she saw her clothes lying on the ground not far away, pinned down by a rock.
"Um... thank you so much for saving me. I don't remember anything about yesterday, but I believe you're a good person. Could you please bring me my clothes? It's inconvenient for me to get up like this."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get them for you right away. I just don't know if they're dry yet. I was going to hang them on the tree branches to dry yesterday, but I was afraid they'd be blown away by the sea breeze, so I weighed them down on the ground with stones."
As he spoke, Jiu Xiao walked to the clothes, bent down, picked up Sania's clothes, and shook them to remove the sand. But as he shook them, the white bra tucked inside the clothes came out...
With lightning speed, Jiu Xiao grabbed the bra before it hit the ground. Feeling guilty, he glanced at Sania out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that she was still lost in thought, he walked over as if nothing had happened.
I remember this girl often has low blood pressure and can't get out of bed in the mornings, plus she's a nocturnal creature who can't stand strong sunlight. Looking at this drowsy Sanya now, I find her incredibly cute, and I think...
Quickly putting an end to the thought of shrimp in his mind, Jiu Xiao shouted, "Hurry up and put on your coat, I'm coming over."
Sania glanced at her exposed body and hurriedly zipped up her pants.
"Come here, I'm all dressed."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao walked over to the girl. After handing the clothes to Sania, he said he needed to check the supplies placed nearby and told her to change quickly so she wouldn't catch a cold.
Jiuxiao arrived at the spot where the small motorcycle was parked and checked the supplies he had hastily placed on it the night before. He was relieved to find all the packaging intact. He was somewhat relieved; who knew if there were monkeys or other primates on the island? He silently warned himself that he absolutely couldn't be so careless next time. He was lucky this time; he might not be so lucky again. It's only natural to be extremely careful with things that are essential for survival.
At this moment, Sania, who had changed her clothes, also cautiously walked over.
"You haven't introduced yourself yet. My name is Sania V. Litviak, a member of the 501st Integrated Combat Aviation Regiment of the Allied Forces. I originally belonged to the Euracian Empire Army, and my rank is lieutenant. By the way, what's your name?"
"I'm so sorry, my blood pressure is a little low. I'm still a bit groggy from just waking up, and although you seemed to have introduced yourself, I didn't remember it."
If you didn't know Sania's background, her statement just now would definitely make you think she's a typical chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl. But you still have to keep up the act, because if one day you're walking down the street and a stranger suddenly appears and reveals all your information, you'd probably think that guy is a perverted stalker.
Jiuxiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I'll just reintroduce myself."
"My name is Yuan Jiuxiao, and I'm just an ordinary junior high school student."
After all, whether in China or reincarnated in Japan, he hadn't done anything earth-shattering before. Aside from possessing a system and being a transmigrator, he was indeed just an ordinary person. But can transmigrators truly be categorized as ordinary people? Jiu Xiao was caught in a mental storm.
Seeing that Jiuxiao remained silent after speaking, Sania asked, "Hello, Yuansang, thank you again for saving me. I will definitely repay your kindness in saving the people when I return to the army."
Interrupted from his thoughts, Jiu Xiao feigned surprise and said, "You're still a minor, aren't you? You can join the army at such a young age, and as a lieutenant? Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."
Faced with Jiuxiao's questioning, Sania was not angry. She patiently explained, "Don't you know? I am a witch, and I am in charge of fighting against the alien army. Look."
As she spoke, Sania channeled her magic, attempting to materialize her ears and tail, but she failed several times. She could clearly feel the magic within her, though not much remained; materializing just ears and a tail shouldn't be a problem.
Seeing that Sania was getting more and more anxious, Jiuxiao spoke up.
"It's alright, I believe you now. Yesterday, when you fell from such a height, you did indeed create a circular light array before hitting the sea. Although I don't know what it is, it must be the magic you mentioned."
"You might not believe it, but I'm not actually from this world. I somehow ended up in this godforsaken place. Can you tell me about this world?"
This has left Sania completely bewildered.
"What do you mean? Are you an accomplice of the Alien Army?"
Because in Sania's world, the alien army invaded from other worlds, that's why she has this question.
"Do you think it's possible that there are other worlds besides the world where the Xenomorphs live? Because in the world I live, there is no Xenomorphs, and magic is a fictional thing."
Sania fell silent, because the alien army wasn't a product of their world. They came from an unknown world, so she had a general idea of what an alternate world was.
Afterwards, Sania gave Jiuxiao a brief introduction to the situation of her world. (I won't go into details; if you haven't read the original work, just Google it yourself, otherwise it would seem like I'm padding the word count.) Jiuxiao also talked about the world she lived in, and she was shocked to learn that Jiuxiao had traveled from the 21st century.
It's important to know that Sania lived in the early 20th century.
"So, do you think I've traveled to the world you live in?"
Sania looked at Jiuxiao with a puzzled expression, gesturing for him to continue.
Jiuxiao gathered his thoughts and said, "I suspect we've traveled to an unknown world. Although I can't tell you how I know, please believe me."
Just now, Jiuxiao's Waste System finally updated and released a new mission: Main Mission Phase One [Survive in an unknown world for 120 days. Rewards depend on mission completion. Improving your quality of life will grant more rewards. Side missions are not yet unlocked.]
[Due to the update, in order to improve the host's survival rate, the following rewards are issued: 1. Automatically gain magical talent; 2. Mana replenishment (physical contact with the target can replenish the target's mana; the higher the intimacy with the target, the higher the mana replenishment efficiency); 3. Gain the passive skill: Witch Affinity (more easily favored by witches or magical girls).]
[The system will also be undergoing another 120-day upgrade and maintenance period. Please do not call me unless it is urgent.]
'Nice, system, you finally worked for me this time! It's not like before where I could only add points. Waaah, I'm so sorry I called you useless before. But is this mana replenishment even legitimate?'
system:【......】
"By the way, aren't you in the military? You could try contacting your unit."
Only then did Sania remember her wireless headset. She turned it on and called for help from headquarters, but all she heard in the headset was static.
She still didn't give up.
"Perhaps it's because we're too far from the base; this headset's communication range is only a few dozen kilometers at most. If only I could still use magic. My innate magic is patrol radar, which can detect flying objects and listen to distant radio waves."
"Magic is amazing. I wish I could use magic too."
Jiuxiao expressed his envy, even though he would soon possess his own unique magic as well.
"Gurgle~" Sania's stomach suddenly rumbled, the sound not loud, but in the quiet surroundings, it was clearly audible. This made Sania a little embarrassed.
That's so indecent!
Seeing Sania's embarrassment, Jiuxiao quickly smoothed things over, as it was not a gentleman's thing to embarrass a young girl.
"I'm hungry. Since things have come to this, let's eat first."
Jiu Xiao took out the few remaining snacks from the small motorcycle and gave some to Sania, indicating that she shouldn't be shy. She needed to eat well to have the energy to work, as surviving in this wilderness was no easy task.
Jiu Xiao took out his soda, intending to chug it straight from the bottle, but felt it would be impolite and didn't have a spare container, leaving Jiu Xiao in a dilemma.
"Want a Coke?"
To be honest, the biscuits were a bit dry, and after not drinking water all night, they were really hard to swallow.
Sania felt a little embarrassed. She had already eaten the other person's food, so asking for more would be shameless.
"You drink it, I'm not thirsty."
Seeing the girl chewing slowly and deliberately, Jiu Xiao felt that she was lying.
"If you don't mind intermittent kisses, you can drink first, or I can go first?"
It's unclear whether the girl lacks awareness in this regard or genuinely doesn't mind.
"Then, would you like to go first?"
Seeing that the girl had no objections, Jiu Xiao stopped being coy. He took a big, hearty gulp and handed the bottle to Sania.
Sania took the bottle, thanked the maker, and took a small sip. However, her slightly flushed earlobes seemed to betray the turmoil within the young woman. Jiuxiao, however, failed to notice this insignificant detail.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiu Xiao and Sania began to discuss their future plans.
"Excuse me, when you rescued me, did you see my flight feet and the Flieger Hummer rocket launcher?"
"Huh? What flying kick? I know where the weapon is, but that thing was too dangerous, so I left it on the beach. As for the flying kick, it's probably sunk to the bottom of the sea."
Hearing this, Sania felt a little disappointed. If she had flying feet, she could fly high into the sky to see if her location was in familiar seas. But then she thought, she couldn't use magic right now, so what use would it be even if she found a way to fly?
Even so, Sania still wanted to find her flying legs, just in case her magic was restored.
So she asked, "Do you remember where you saved me? If possible, I'd like to find my flying feet again. They're an important companion of mine, and I might be able to use them when my magic is restored."
Without saying another word, Jiu Xiao led Sania to the place where the rocket launcher was located and pointed out to the girl the spot where she had fallen into the water.
"Look, this is roughly the area. The water here is relatively calm, so if it sank to the bottom of the sea, it shouldn't have been carried away by the ocean currents yet."
"As for your weapon, it's right here." Jiuxiao said, pointing to the beach not far away.
Seeing her old companion lying on the beach not far away, Sania quickly ran over to lift it. It took a lot of effort to barely lift her usual weapon. Sania felt something was off; was this thing really that heavy?
After much deliberation, Sania came to a terrifying conclusion: her magic seemed to have completely failed. She couldn't even use the most basic physical enhancements; now she was just like any other ordinary girl, utterly powerless!
Seemingly noticing the girl's predicament, Jiu Xiao went over to lend a hand. You know what, it really did have some weight to it; I'd guess it weighed twenty or thirty pounds.
"Speaking of which, Sania is really amazing. Did you always fight carrying something like this? It's so heavy."
"With magic, this weight is nothing, but now that I've lost the magic, I can barely lift it."
It was clear that Sania was a little frustrated at this moment.
Jiuxiao, having no idea what this meant, comforted him, "It's alright, you can teach me how to use it. From now on, we're companions, practically bound by fate. I still have some strength, so let me protect you."
Chapter Four: Little Sister, You Smell So Good!
Sania lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, before finally raising it after a long while. A faint blush rose on her usually expressionless face, revealing a genuine smile.
Her smile was pure and sweet, like a spring breeze that swept away all the worries in the boy's heart.
Jiu Xiao was slightly shocked. This girl, who always had a blank expression, could actually display such a captivating smile.
"do you know?"
Sania turned her head slightly, looking puzzled, at Jiuxiao's inexplicable question.
"Ok?"
"Has no one told you? You look really cute when you smile. If you can, please smile more often. Although you also have a certain charm when you're expressionless, people our age need to smile more to be more energetic."
Sania's gaze darted away, her right hand unconsciously twirling her hair. Her shy, girlish gesture didn't seem pretentious at all. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded almost imperceptibly.
This scene made Jiu Xiao's cheeks flush, as if he had just said something outrageous.
To change the subject, Jiu Xiao and Sania discussed the issue of the flying foot that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Considering their current situation, they decided to give up on retrieving the flying foot for now. They figured they wouldn't need it for the time being, and they could wait until the tide went out, which might make it easier to retrieve.
What is the most urgent task right now? Jiu Xiao pondered to himself.
'I wonder if Sanya has received any professional military training. Generally, the military teaches some basic wilderness survival techniques. After all, she's served in the army for a few years; she should know at least a little bit, right?'
"Sanya, did you receive any wilderness survival training in the military?"
Sania thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I used to be in the 501st Integrated Combat Aviation Wing of the Allied Forces, where I was only responsible for fighting the alien army. I do know a little about cooking, but when it comes to wilderness survival... I'm sorry, I probably can't help you."
Well, it was expected and reasonable.
Looking at the training of Yoshika Miyato and Lynette Bisop in the TV series gives you a general idea. They only received basic military and physical training, along with mastery of firearms. If it weren't for magic, such a simple and convenient thing, they probably would have been dead long ago. Furthermore, sending teenage girls to the battlefield is inherently problematic...
Furthermore, it seems that Sanya majored in music before joining the army, and her specialties were playing the piano and singing. Her purpose in joining the army was to find her lost parents.
Ugh, I was so stupid to have such expectations. Luckily, Jiuxiao had watched quite a few survival shows before, otherwise he would have been completely lost.
"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. I do know some basic survival skills."
Over the next few hours, Jiu Xiao told Sania some basic wilderness survival tips that he knew.
First, there are the four most basic elements of survival: shelter, drinking water, food, and fire. As for food, there is no shortage for the time being. Apart from the snacks that have been mostly eaten, there are two cabbages, three pounds of cucumbers, five tomatoes, a few potatoes, and a steak.
"Holy crap, steak! I hope it hasn't gone bad after all this time."
Jiu Xiao hurriedly walked towards the small motorcycle where the supplies were stored, and only when he saw the vacuum-packed steak did he feel relieved. In his haste, he had completely forgotten about the vacuum packaging.
Seeing Jiuxiao rush over, Sania thought something urgent had happened and ran after him.
"What happened?"
Having escaped a false alarm, Jiu Xiao wiped away non-existent cold sweat and explained, "It's alright now."
Afterwards, Jiuxiao introduced Sania to the resources they currently had, as well as the next course of action.
"Let's go to the beach and pick some coconuts first. Although we still have more than half a bottle of Coke, we'll need to drink more water when the sun comes up and we start sweating. This amount of Coke might not be enough."
