One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Wish?"

Bai Ye calmed down and thought. Of course he knew that the Root Style had that ability! But could he really bring it up without hesitation?

He quickly dismissed the idea. "I don't know. I guess I just want everyone around me to be happy. Of course, that includes you, Shiki."

"Am I counted in?"

Hearing this, Shiki felt a long-lost warmth, but just a few words weren't enough. "Well, besides these, do you have any other wishes?"

There was silence.

"Is this a test?"

Bai Ye didn't deny that he did have the idea of ​​clinging to someone powerful at first. After all, that was the invincible root form. However, "Forget it. Wishes are something that should be realized by oneself."

"Really? I was thinking, if you just bring it up, I'll help you make it happen~"

Shi's humanity is becoming more and more intense. As for whether it's true or not? Since I've already rejected it, there's no point in pursuing it. It's better to be down to earth.

"Okay, stop tempting me."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly, and Bronya continued, "Bronya knows that Shiki doesn't like to meddle in worldly matters. There's no need to make an exception for Bronya."

"But... Bronya, can I ask some questions? After wandering through so many worlds, Bronya feels that these questions can only be answered by Shiki."

"..."

In response, Shiki just smiled gently and nodded slightly at Byakuya and Bronya.

“I started out in an everyday world.”

Bronya was separated from the Lost World, so Bai Ye spoke this time, "It's very ordinary there, there's no extraordinary system, it's just an ordinary world."

"But suddenly, that world began to, well... let's call it a spiritual resurgence. People began to awaken their special abilities, and the order of the world began to reshuffle."

"As for me...I guess I can be considered lucky?"

Looking back on the past, Bai Ye's tone became a little vague, and he continued, "My ability is pretty good. I accumulated it bit by bit, and in the end I was quite strong."

During this time, Shiki just listened quietly. Even if the story wasn't particularly remarkable, it was still a different world after all! She was very interested in it.

"Then suddenly one day, it seems like they're fighting over some treasure? Top-level psychics are fighting fiercely. The battle spreads across a large area, and in the end, it even breaks the world barrier."

Bai Ye turned his gaze to Shiki. "At first, I didn't think much about it. I just drifted between worlds, taking whatever landed me there. But gradually, I began to think."

"A space-based system, a time-based system, and a few so-called powerful people, do they really have the ability to break the barriers between worlds? Also, I only have the ability of the life-based system, which is only produced within the world. Do I really have the ability to travel through multiple worlds?"

"That's right..."

"Shiki" connects to the source and, to a certain extent, represents the will of the world. (Type-Moon's reading of the book is a long-standing tradition, and the setting is a bit confusing, so I'll just write according to my own understanding.)

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Shiki quickly found the answer in his endless knowledge base and told Bai Ye:

——The upgrading of the world!

Yes, the world is divided. I don't go into detail, but it can be roughly divided into everyday, extraordinary, diverse... and some special existences.

The world of Bai Ye starts from the ordinary and moves towards the extraordinary, which is why it triggers the "revival of spiritual energy".

As for the shattering of world barriers? That was the world's choice, a process to select a group of special talents—He needed "reason," "reason" unique to each world, to enrich his foundation.

Bai Ye was blessed by the world, so he could travel through the endless dimensional sea and receive gifts from other worlds again and again.

"So, I'm a messenger?"

After learning the truth and thinking about his experiences in previous worlds, Bai Ye had a rough idea of ​​his identity.

He didn't think much of it. The world protected him, so he gave back to the world with what he called "reason." It was only fair. If you really wanted to calculate, he still won.

"No~"

Shiki shook his head slightly. "You underestimate yourself. If I had to say... I'm probably an 'Agent' or something like that. He has placed a heavy bet on you."

——A mere messenger couldn't cross the dimensional sea. The world separated a strand of its essence and blessed Bai Ye with it, barely protecting him from the erosion of the dimensional sea!

So, we have to select the most suitable one.

Generally, most of these should be related to time and space, but Bai Ye’s survivability was full, and he survived those few and stood out from the screening!

"Agent?"

Bai Ye had heard of this term before, but mostly in places like the church. He had never considered that the world might need agents. This was truly the first time he had heard of it.

"Indeed, agents travel through many worlds throughout their lives, and their mortality rate is always high. However, they are also the easiest to transcend."

???

Another new concept. But "transcendence" is not difficult to understand. He has read many novels, and the so-called transcendence must be that meaning, right?

At this point, most of Bai Ye's questions had been answered, and now the only thing left was...

"That's right, 'style'."

Bronya pinched her fingers, and the invisible Qimen system unfolded, but at a very slow speed. "Why can't some worlds and certain spells be performed? Is there any hidden reason behind this?"

Having been banned too many times, Bronya wanted to know the reason for this rare opportunity.

"of course."

Having said so much, this little bit won't make any difference. Shiki smiled gently and continued explaining to Bronya:

For example, the reason why Tongtian Lu and Fenghou Qimen were banned is because they involve "Xian Dao". Although Under One Person seems to have nothing to do with Xian Dao, is it really so?

Tongtian Lu corresponds to "talisman", Fenghou Qimen corresponds to "formation", and Shenji Bailian corresponds to "instrument", almost pointing directly to the root. Even if they are severely cut, they are still connected after all.

But the immortal way is xenophobic.

The immortal path is grand enough and does not require any other system, so it is mostly regarded as an unorthodox path.

If some people travel back in time and bring other systems with them, at a low level, they may look pretty good and powerful; but in the middle stage... these outsiders will not go far and have no future.

Then, at a higher level, a glance over... Oh no, an extraterritorial demon? Capture it and study it.

That's about it, so other worlds don't allow Xiandao to play, and they are directly banned. Only in places with similar systems such as the Eastern Continent can those spells be used.

……

"Shiki" chatted with Bai Ye and Bronya for a while, his voice gradually softened, and he fell lightly into Bai Ye's arms.

She put her index finger on her lips with a gentle smile on her lips, "Also, don't tell those two kids about me, Bai Ye..."

234. Remember to come find me

"..., I'll be waiting for you in Guanbuzi City."

By the time her body had returned to Ryougi Shiki's, her spiritual foundation was on the verge of collapse. Without time to ponder why she was in the courtyard, Ryougi Shiki looked deeply at Bai Ye and finally spoke coldly.

Then, Liang Yizhi switched to her account and waved at Bai Ye in her usual carefree style, "We agreed, remember to come find me!"

"Of course, we will go."

Byakuya and Bronya agreed in unison and said goodbye to Ryougi Shiki/Ori with a slight smile.

The golden spirit particle rose into the air, and vaguely, it seemed as if Shiki and Zhi appeared in the same frame. The illusory images looked exactly the same, with only slight differences in temperament.

……

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

"Um... Good morning, Brother Bai Ye, Sister Bronya."

Sakura walked down the stairs in a loose-fitting home outfit. Her voice was soft and mushy, probably because she was still asleep. In the dining room, Fujino and Kallen were already waiting.

"Good morning, Sakura~"

Bai Ye also smiled gently, served breakfast for Sakura and placed it in front of her seat, then asked everyone to prepare to eat.

???

Sakura tilted her head and saw that the number of people seemed to be wrong. She raised her hand and waved to Bai Ye, "Wait, Bai Ye brother, isn't Sister Ryougi Shiki here?"

"She's gone back temporarily. As you know, Shiki is a Servant who descended during the Holy Grail War, so she has to go back."

"But the master is not..."

"It's different~"

Bronya, who was sitting next to her, rubbed Sakura's little head. However, with her stiff posture, she didn't look like an "older sister" at all, but it was still very heartwarming to watch.

"Shiki comes from the future. In other words, there is another Shiki at this point in time. They are essentially the same person, so they are unconsciously synchronized. To avoid affecting the other Shiki, Shiki voluntarily retreated."

"Eh?"

It wasn't too complicated. Sakura had studied magic systematically, so she understood it quickly. "So, Sister Bronya, will I be able to meet Sister Ryougi Shiki again in the future?"

"We'll definitely meet again. Bronya knows that Shiki is in Guanbuzi City right now. Even though we don't know each other at this time, Bronya will still go find her."

"That's it~"

Beside him, Shinji also raised his hand cheerfully, without any of the bad guy vibe he had in the original plot, "Brother Bai Ye, you must bring Sister Ryougi Shiki back!"

"Do you even need to say this?"

Bai Ye hit Shinji on the forehead, and even though he reduced his strength, he still felt a slight pain. It was completely different from the treatment he gave Sakura, and the main point was to treat them differently.

Watching the two people's daily "interaction", Fujino and Kallen smiled, feeling an inexplicable warmth.

However, by the time the meal was over...

"Bai Ye, have you figured out what to do?"

Scathach looked at Bai Ye with interest, holding her chin with one hand and leaning forward slightly. The pure white sweater could not cover her plump breasts at all, attracting Bai Ye's attention.

"I'm still thinking about it."

Bai Ye tried very hard to divert his gaze from his master's heart. He leaned back on the sofa, covering his face with one hand and speaking with a melancholy tone.

Given Ryougi Shiki's cat-like personality, it's not easy to get into her heart. If you think about it carefully, the story line of Sora Aoi has been almost cut off by him, so this is even more difficult!

"That's why I want you to work hard."

As she spoke, Scathach revealed a faint smile. Seeing her disciple troubled by something made her very happy. "By the way, don't forget today's training."

“…Aaaaaah, this is so annoying!”

Bai Ye complained a few words, slapped the sofa, stood up and prepared to go find Shinji.

Inside the workshop, Shinji had finally unblocked his magic circuits and was working feverishly on a project when he suddenly shuddered. "What's going on? Is someone talking about me?"

"Hey~ Shinji, what are you researching lately? Can you show it to me?"

A dark blue figure quietly appeared behind Shinji... It's so convenient to be able to go quantum, you can appear and disappear at will.

!!!

Shinji shuddered almost reflexively, turning his head stiffly. He knew that Bai Ye was mostly doing it for his own good, but his teaching methods... seemed intentional.

But he soon reacted and immediately asked Bai Ye about the design of the magic costume - relatively speaking, Bai Ye's level must be higher, so it always makes sense to ask.

Bai Ye had taken over Shinji's design drawings before, and recognized the prototype of the draft at a glance, emmm...

"Boy, you're really brave. Do you have that kind of chivalry? You're actually planning to make armor for yourself?"

"Hey, you should always have dreams."

After watching so many special effects movies, my personality has definitely changed, and it has given Shinji a new goal. The idea is good, but when it comes to implementing it... the progress bar is stuck.

"Also, you've drawn so many sketches. Are you planning on designing the exterior yourself?"

"I have some ideas."

"I don't think so. Although your drawing is pretty good, it just doesn't have that flavor."

"I feel so too."

Shinji shared the same sentiment. Perhaps it was because his design ultimately lacked a story of its own, and he'd merely created a prototype. But if he truly wanted to design it as a knight...

"But as for the main rider, I don't think I have the resolution to support that armor."

"You're quite self-aware. But the main knight isn't good. What do you think of the villain knight? The build-type knights are all pretty good. I also use Evolto~"

"The Caesar system? That one... the style is a little too advanced."

"No, no, no, I mean the Metal Build. Don't you think the jet-black paint job is cool? And in the Gaiden, that guy has a super strong sense of oppression, okay? Isn't his track kick cool?"

“Hey, I think it’s possible~”
