My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

After thinking about it, Jiu Xiao felt something was amiss. Given Xiao Yuan's personality, she wouldn't often bother others, even if it was something insignificant to Jiu Xiao.

"No, I've decided. From now on, I'll replenish your magic once a day. You can't refuse. This isn't just for you, it's also to put my mind at ease."

Jiuxiao's tone was decisive and left no room for doubt.

Xiaoyuan wanted to say something more, but seeing Jiuxiao's serious expression, she finally nodded and softly agreed, "...Okay, thank you, Jiuxiao-kun."

Jiu Xiao extended his hand to her, and Xiao Yuan, though puzzled, still offered it. Looking at Xiao Yuan's confused expression, Jiu Xiao explained, "I must make physical contact with the target to transfer magic. Holding hands is the simplest and quickest method, so... of course, if Xiao Yuan feels uncomfortable, a hug can also replenish magic."

Jiuxiao said mischievously.

Xiaoyuan's cheeks flushed instantly. She held Jiuxiao's hand, lowered her head, and whispered, "Let's... let's hold hands. Hugging is... a bit too early."

Seeing her shy expression, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing. He grasped the girl's hand and poured a steady stream of magic into her body. Just like Sania and Fate had been, Xiao Yuan let out a rather adorable gasp in surprise.

But his reaction was slightly different from Sanya's; he didn't react as strongly. Was it really because Sanya's constitution was too sensitive?

After this incident, quite some time had passed before they arrived at the place where the taro grew. Xiaoyuan's magic had been fully restored on the way, the Soul Gem had been purified, and she had become much more cheerful.

Unlike before when I was just putting on a brave face, this time it came from the bottom of my heart.

Jiuxiao and Xiaoyuan walked side by side on the shallow beach where taro grew. Sunlight shone through the clouds, dappling the lush green taro leaves with tiny sparkles. A gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Because of the rain, the shallow water was already ankle-deep. The two had taken off their shoes before stepping in and were now barefoot.

Xiao Yuan's tender feet stepped onto the soft, shallow sand, leaving rows of footprints of varying depths. The girl's toes curled involuntarily, seemingly unaccustomed to the sudden sensation, yet also filled with a sense of novelty and excitement.

Looking at Xiaoyuan's fair and delicate bare feet, Jiuxiao couldn't help but compare them to Sanya's beautiful legs in black stockings. Sanya's ankles were slender, and the black stockings clung tightly to her skin, outlining an alluring curve; while Xiaoyuan's bare feet appeared even more petite and exquisite, like a newly blooming white lotus, pure and flawless.

Although Sania's black-stockinged legs were beautiful and luscious, Xiaoyuan's fair and delicate bare feet were equally alluring to him. After all, what you can't have always seems more desirable...

This made Jiuxiao want to... cough cough, to savor it. Although this idea was somewhat perverse, it was very much in line with the etiquette of porridge!

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Storm is Brewing

Xiao Yuan seemed to notice Jiu Xiao's gaze, and a blush rose on her face. She gently pulled her feet back, trying to hide in the shadows behind her.

"Nine Heavens Lord, what are you looking at?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet it carried a hint of shy questioning.

Jiuxiao confidently gave a vague answer.

"Ahem, well, I'm checking the water depth. Look how white the water is... ah, no, look how clear the water is. As long as we're careful, we won't step into deep water."

"So he was observing the water depth. I thought Lord Jiuxiao was looking at some strange place."

Only Xiaoyuan would believe his lies; if it were Sania, she would have seen through it immediately. It's so good that Xiaoyuan is such an innocent child.

After admiring Xiaoyuan's jade-like feet, they got busy. With Lei Guang's battle axe making a cameo appearance as a hoe, the two worked quite efficiently. Xiaoyuan used the axe to cut the taro...

The leaves and stems were cut off, leaving only the roots, and Jiuxiao was responsible for digging these taro roots out of the soil.

The two worked together seamlessly, and soon they had dug up a whole basket full of taro. The basket was woven by Jiuxiao in his spare time. Since it was his first time trying to weave something so complicated, he tried many methods before he finally managed to make a basket that wasn't very pretty.

After packing up today's spoils, Jiu Xiao also collected a lot of taro leaves. Their afternoon's digging was just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast taro field.

Seeing that it was still early, Jiu Xiao discussed it with Xiao Yuan and decided to dig again. But Jiu Xiao noticed that the sky was gradually darkening, and thick clouds were blocking out the sunlight. It seemed that a heavy rain was about to come. Jiu Xiao looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaoyuan, it looks like it's going to rain. We need to hurry back."

As Jiuxiao spoke, she quickened her pace, tying up the taro leaves for her to take. The two quickly washed the mud off their feet, put on their shoes, and headed towards the campsite.

As thunder rumbled across the sky, dark clouds rapidly gathered, as if nature were preparing a grand performance. The wind began to rage, carrying the salty smell of the sea, making the hems of their clothes flutter loudly.

Xiao Yuan glanced nervously at the sky and quickened her pace to catch up with Jiu Xiao. The two trudged through the muddy shallows, splashing tiny droplets of water with each step, but they had no time to care about that now; they just wanted to get back to camp as quickly as possible to avoid the rain.

However, fate seemed unwilling to give them much time. Just as the two could vaguely see the camp, the first raindrop landed on Jiu Xiao's nose, followed by a torrential downpour.

Jiuxiao quickly pulled Xiaoyuan over, using magic to enhance his body to the maximum extent, while shouting loudly, "Run! We can already see the camp ahead!"

Xiao Yuan clung tightly to Jiu Xiao's arm as the two ran desperately through the rain. The downpour was so heavy that they could barely open their eyes, relying solely on instinct and memory to propel themselves forward. Finally, before the rain intensified, they reached the campsite.

Even so, despite their swift movements, they were still soaked to the bone by the rain.

As soon as they stepped into the camp, Fate came to greet them. Seeing the two of them soaked to the bone, Fate quickly took the bamboo basket from Jiu Xiao's back.

"Brother Jiuxiao, are you alright?"

As Jiuxiao wiped the rain off his face, he said, "I'm fine, I just got a little wet, it's nothing."

Xiao Yuan was in a rather disheveled state. Although it was only a short sprint, it had exhausted her. She was panting heavily, her hands on her knees, rain dripping from her hair, and her clothes clung tightly to her body, making her look extremely thin.

At this moment, Jiu Xiao noticed that Xiao Yuan's uniform jacket was wet from the rain, making her bra slightly visible underneath.

Hmm, it really is white? It perfectly matches her innocent and naive personality. Last time Xiaoyuan fell into the water at night, this time we finally got to see her true appearance. Jiuxiao immediately felt a sense of apology and was ashamed of his unintentional offense.

Just as he was about to look away, Fate tiptoed and covered Jiuxiao's eyes.

"Brother Jiuxiao, you're not allowed to look anymore!"

Fate's voice carried an undeniable reproach, tinged with a hint of jealousy. That morning, Fate had already been subtly provoked by Jiu Xiao's unintentional actions. Now, seeing her so captivated by Xiao Yuan, her jealousy intensified.

But Fate didn't know that this feeling was called jealousy. She just felt uncomfortable when she saw Jiu Xiao like this, so she stepped in to stop him.

Xiaoyuan realized what was happening and quickly crouched down, crossing her arms over her chest to try and cover her breasts, which were now more prominent due to the rain. Her pretty face flushed crimson, and her shyness was palpable.

"Nine...Nine Heavens Lord, you...you saw it?"

Jiu Xiao quickly looked away, feeling even more guilty. But he had always been outspoken about what he had done.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, it was just an unconscious action. Don't worry, you only saw a small white outline..."

Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. What a load of rubbish! Didn't I see it completely?

Jiu Xiao's bluntness made Xiao Yuan even more embarrassed. She squatted on the ground, stammering, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time. She couldn't hit him, nor could she bring herself to scold him. Her exceptional personal qualities allowed her to silently endure this awkward situation, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

To ease the awkwardness, Jiu Xiao silently used magic to dry the rainwater off his body. He then tried to appease Xiao Yuan, saying, "Um, Xiao Yuan, I'm really sorry about that. To show my sincerity, I'll use magic to dry your clothes too, otherwise you might catch a cold."

"Of course, this time I will be blindfolded and let Fate guide me through the process."

As she spoke, Jiuxiao took off the black ribbon that Fate had given her from her wrist, blindfolded herself, and then turned around, leaving Xiaoyuan and Fate with her back to her.

Seeing that Jiu Xiao didn't seem to have done it on purpose, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to forgive him. And the thought that she still attracted Jiu Xiao made her feel a little happy for some reason.

'It's so good that I wasn't treated like a monster,' Xiaoyuan thought to herself, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her face.

With Fate's guidance, Jiu Xiao successfully dried Xiao Yuan's clothes. The awkward atmosphere vanished, and their cheerful conversation woke up Sania, who was sleeping nearby.

Sania rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking around in confusion, still not quite sure what had just happened. When she saw that Jiuxiao and Xiaoyuan had returned, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"You're back! How did everything go?"

Chapter Forty-Eight: The God of Roundness! My God!

Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof outside, Sania continued with some concern, "It's raining again outside. Did you get wet?"

Jiuxiao smiled and shook his head, indicating that he and Xiaoyuan were both safe and sound.

"Don't worry, Sania, although you got a little wet, I've already evaporated it with my magic."

His firm words instantly dispelled Sania's worries.

"That's good. A cold is really uncomfortable. By the way, what time is it?"

Jiu Xiao took out his phone and looked at it.

"It's already 4:30 in the afternoon. How are you feeling now, Sania? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Sania looked much better; her face had regained color, unlike the paleness of the night before. Her voice had returned to its usual confidence, without giving the impression of weakness. She asked this question to reassure Jiu Xiao.

"I feel fully recovered and in better condition than ever before. I feel like I could punch a cow right now."

As she spoke, Sania rolled up her sleeves and made a muscle-flexing gesture.

Everyone was amused by Sania's sudden "muscle display." Jiu Xiao patted Sania's head with a laugh and said, "Hahaha, really? I don't believe it. Come on, give me a punch and see if Miss Sania, who can punch a cow, can punch me."

He slapped away the large hand that was playing tricks on her head, and Sania glared at Jiuxiao with her puffed-up cheeks, raining down tiny fists on his chest. Forget about causing any real harm; even a back massage wouldn't have been strong enough.

"You little brat, Jiuxiao, how dare you undermine me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Looking at the adorable yet fierce girl, Jiu Xiao felt that her personality had become more cheerful after she recovered from her illness. Or rather, Sania had truly accepted Jiu Xiao and begun to show him her real and lively side.

Xiaoyuan and Fate watched the two of them fooling around as if no one else was around, and both felt like they were being a bit superfluous. Xiaoyuan was alright, just a little disappointed. Fate, on the other hand, had her withdrawn expression written all over her face.

Even though everyone was in the same room, the atmosphere was completely different. It was as if an invisible line separated the two groups entirely. On one side, there was laughter and joy; on the other, there were frowns and gloom.

Fate sighed softly, turning her gaze to the window. The rain intensified, and the sky seemed even more gloomy, mirroring her mood. Although she knew Jiuxiao meant no favoritism, seeing the natural intimacy between Sania and Jiuxiao still inevitably stirred an indescribable bittersweet feeling within her.

It can only be said that children nowadays are too precocious, especially children like Fate who grew up in a loveless environment and are particularly sensitive to interpersonal relationships and emotions around them.

Xiaoyuan noticed Fate's unusual behavior. She gently tugged at Fate's sleeve and said in a voice only Fate could hear, "Fate, let's go to the door and watch the rain. Staying in a warm place like this and watching the rain outside the window always brings a feeling of happiness from the bottom of my heart... Ah, sorry, I'm getting a little carried away."

Fate turned to look at Xiaoyuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then nodded slightly. The two quietly slipped away from Jiuxiao and Sania's playful antics and walked to the door. Outside, the rain poured down, each drop carrying the emotions of the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and splashing up layers of water.

Xiaoyuan stood close to Fate, the two side by side, silently watching the rain. Xiaoyuan spoke softly, her voice gentle and warm: "Fate, is something on your mind? You don't seem very happy."

Xiaoyuan was actually asking a question she already knew the answer to. She could see that Fate was dependent on Jiuxiao, but she didn't think about it in the context of a romantic relationship. Fate's feelings for Jiuxiao were mostly familial, but she couldn't help feeling lost seeing her beloved "brother" being taken away.

Fate tilted her head slightly, her gaze still fixed on the view outside the window. The rain reflected in her eyes mirrored the turbulent emotions within her, which she couldn't seem to calm down. After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice barely audible: "Actually... I've always admired the relationship between Sania and Jiuxiao. They seem so happy. Of course, Brother Jiuxiao is also very good to me... Maybe I'm just being too greedy."

Hearing this, Xiaoyuan's heart softened. She reached out and gently placed her hand on Fate's shoulder, comforting her tenderly, "Fate, don't think like that. Everyone holds a unique place in his heart. Jiuxiao is good to you because you are his cherished sister, and this feeling is irreplaceable by anyone. As for the way Sania and Jiuxiao get along, perhaps it's just their unique way of expressing friendship."

Xiaoyuan kept comforting Fate with well-intentioned lies that even she herself didn't believe. Although Xiaoyuan had never been in a relationship, anyone with eyes could see the pink atmosphere between Jiuxiao and Sania.

Only a little girl like Fate would be so naive as to believe it was merely friendship. However, Madoka didn't intend to burst this beautiful bubble; she hoped Fate could enjoy this innocent fantasy a little longer.

In fact, Fate wasn't too disappointed; she had already overcome the biggest hurdle in her life with Jiuxiao's help.

But she was still very grateful for Xiaoyuan's concern.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyuan, you're right. It's all because of my cowardice that I've been constantly confused and troubled. But it's okay, it's part of me too. Besides, Brother Jiuxiao also said that he doesn't hate his cowardice."

Fate's words carried a hint of relief, as if she had made peace with her own heart. She let out a soft breath and continued, "I will try to become stronger and less easily swayed by my emotions. At the very least, I will learn to better control my feelings and not let them become stumbling blocks to my progress."

Seeing Fate emerge from her predicament, Madoka smiled from the bottom of her heart.

God of Roundness! Oh my god!

Sania and Jiuxiao's playful banter gradually subsided. Looking at the two standing by the door, Jiuxiao reminded them, "Don't get too close to the door, or the rain will splash on you. Close the door, the rain is a bit noisy."

Moreover, with the recent rainfall, the temperature has dropped significantly. It will probably be a bit cold to sleep at night without a blanket, but it will be warmer to close the door.

After saying that, he strode towards the two of them, naturally taking over the action from Xiaoyuan's hands, and gently closed the door, shutting out the incessant sound of rain.

After closing the door, the room immediately went dark. Jiu Xiao turned on his phone's flashlight to brighten the room again.

Since arriving in this world, Jiu Xiao has hardly ever touched a cell phone.

Chapter 49 Easily Controlling Madoka Kaname

I used to feel uncomfortable if I didn't have my phone with me for even a short time, but since coming here, I've been busy making a living every day and simply don't have the time or energy to use my phone. Plus, without internet, I can't use many of the functions.

Jiu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He shone the light from his phone onto the faces of the group, revealing familiar faces.

Of the people present, except for Sania, all had considerable knowledge of mobile phones. Jiu Xiao remembered the girl's shocked expression when she first used a mobile phone; such sophisticated machines didn't exist in their time.

He smiled and said, "It seems I've really changed a lot. I used to be someone who couldn't live without my phone."

Fate laughed too, and said, "Yes, Brother Jiuxiao, you're our pillar now. But you can relax sometimes, like listening to music or playing some single-player games."

Xiaoyuan nodded, showing considerable interest in the phone. She said, "Jiuxiao-jun, did you have any favorite games or music before?"

Jiuxiao thought for a moment. He only played games like Princess Connect! Re:Dive and Azur Lane. Even if he told her, she probably wouldn't have heard of them, since in the world of Madoka Magica, the mainstream mobile phones weren't smartphones but feature phones, like the old-fashioned phones we have now.

As for the music... After glancing at Xiao Yuan's expectant face, Jiu Xiao's playful side was aroused.

Jiuxiao opened the music app and played a previously cached song, Madoka's character theme song—"See You Tomorrow." It's sung by Madoka's voice actress, Aoi Yuuki.

As the familiar voice came from the phone, everyone was stunned. Xiaoyuan, in particular, covered her mouth in surprise when she heard the song on the phone sound so much like her own voice, her eyes wide open as if she had discovered some incredible secret.

"Is this...is this my voice? But I don't remember singing this song."

Xiao Yuan's voice was filled with disbelief, and her eyes were full of doubt and curiosity as she looked at Jiu Xiao.

Jiu Xiao was practically bursting with laughter inside; he was just looking for that expression on your face!

This is certainly not your song, but rather the song sung by your counterpart, Miss Yuuki Aoi.
