I paid too much for Feiwuluo

"The start can't be too difficult. I want to live in a big happy family."

[Um. ]

"Secondly, I don't want to fight and kill. Please prohibit high-intensity fighting."

[Can. ]

"And I don't want to fall in love for the time being, everyone can love me, but it must not be the love of love!"

[Don't interrupt you're not over yet, are you? ]

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! ..."

"Kusuo, how long do we have to go, woo woo woo...I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore..."

Saiki Kusuo: […]

The memory was cut off by a cry that was almost the same as in the memory. He looked down at the little girl who was crying and clutching his sleeve, and the long-lost heartache and headache rushed to him.

Two months ago, the PK Academy ended the final exam, and the students ushered in a beautiful and leisurely summer vacation. The surge in free time allowed some people who restrained themselves for their studies to open the valve, that is, working all night long and day and night. game.

So of course, under such a high-intensity checkpoint, he can only give up his favorite one if he is beaten by the incarnation of the salary king, rubbed by Ganon of Water, beaten by the soul tyrant, and beaten to tears by the guard of the big tree. Soul games, the next best thing is to go to the otome games, the beloved and glowing cousin, on the third day of the summer vacation, she opened up all the otome games that can be bought on the market.

Of course, this is not something that can be done within three days, and it also cost her a lot of money.

But for Alice, apart from studying, there is only one thing she can use to fill her hobbies.

However, as we all know, the production cycle of a good game is quite long, so in order to play the next one quickly, Alice brought a box of coffee jelly to visit.

To put it mildly, this is called coming prepared.But to put it bluntly, it's like asking a weasel to pay a New Year's greeting to a chicken, which is completely heartless.No matter how powerful he is, he can't force 007, an employee of the game production company.

But then Alice offered a "sky-high price" for ten boxes of coffee jelly.His cousin has always been generous in this regard, thanks to her parents who travel around the world 360 days a week, Alice's monthly pocket money is so high that it must be said It takes only one scratch-off.

Eleven boxes of coffee jelly were nothing to her coffers.

Faced with such favorable conditions, Saiki Kusuo was shamefully moved—no, facing eleven boxes of coffee jelly, even a saint would definitely be moved, not to mention he is not a saint yet!He is a loyal fanatic of the coffee jelly god丨 believer!

For the coffee jelly, he shrunk Alice by a random age and sent her to a place that met most of her requirements.

Although his elder brother Saiki Kongsuke showed a very high "helping plot" in the process, helping to add a bit of pretentious system layout to pretend, but thinking of the other party's character, it is probably not hopeless To the point where he would murder Alice, he would be very happy to see him take the initiative to help...

Recalling this, Saiki Kusuo suddenly sighed, and his footsteps also stopped.

There was no particular reason, it was just that Alice, who kept yelling that she was tired from walking, refused to even "squirm".

She squatted on the ground pitifully, and because her hands were not long enough to catch his sleeves, she grabbed his trousers instead.The hair on the sides of her head was a bit messy after being pulled out from between the bars, and he tried to straighten her out, but it didn't help.

Saiki Kusuo: […]

He looked down at the little fleshy hand that was pulling his pants, and felt that his cousin came back from playing a "game", and seemed to be more spoiled than when she was actually seven years old.

But when his eyes moved from the small fleshy hand to her face and the corners of her red lips, Saiki Kusuo finally bent down, controlled his strength, and hugged Alice.

[How did you get the injury on your face? ]

To him, the difficulty of sending Alice to another world is as simple as sending her to a neighbor's house to play. The slightly more difficult part is just to negotiate with the "pillar" that can affect another world in advance.

And they all sent their children to the neighbor's house to play, and no parent would stare at them all the time.

Because I thought that the book and the slate should not cause anything to happen to her—but the reality is obviously far from what he imagined...

Alice was stunned for a moment, as if she had been reminded that she still had a painful wound on her body, she covered her mouth that was still whimpering just now, and then lay on his shoulder and stretched out. A new whoop whoop.

In the series of small accusations interspersed with crying, Saiki Kusuo gradually made up the image of a vicious white-haired and red-eyed villain in his brain.

"He's still pulling my hair...he's so bad!" Alice said, leaning on his shoulders, "I'm going to let Zun beat him!"

After speaking, he sniffed his nose aggrievedly.

Afterwards, go and negotiate with Shi Ban about how to punish this bastard who is violent to children...

The child was beaten in someone else's house, and it is not too much to ask for compensation and disciplinary measures.

Saiki Kusuo thought.

But speaking of it, respecting the name...

If I remember correctly, he is Alice's adoptive father in that world?

Seeing Alice waving his small fists angrily, Saiki Kusuo blinked his eyes behind the special lenses, hugged her silently and continued walking towards his home.Alice's parents are abroad all the year round. Apart from the Nintendo store, the place she often goes to is Saiki Kusuo's house, but only in comparison, the actual frequency is actually not high, at least not high enough to leave her alone. the extent of the room.

She likes to talk when she is with people, but the principle of "talking too much is bound to be lost" is particularly prominent in her.

So Alice would choose to stay by herself more often.

After staying in another world for a long time, Alice, who had just left, hadn't completely shaken off the influence of that world on her.

This is normal, and the most sensible thing to do at this time is to bring her to see more people she knew from the past here, reactivate the memory that was hidden in the snow, and let the experience of the world over there slowly fade away.

To be honest, because the negotiations with Slate and Book were too hasty, they didn't even set a specific "game over" time.

There will be no ending stories in life, but there will be.

So in the end, Saiki Kusuo handed over the decision of the "game over" time point to the slate, who is more concerned about and familiar with the human beings in his own world - including the place where Alice is taken in, which is also chosen by the slate.

Although I have seen how the connection between countless people is produced, this does not prevent Shi Ban from still being obsessed with the relationship between people.

He seems to care about these bonds that he can't have.

So much so that he chose one king after another in the world where he lived, and formed one after another "family" or even "family" around them.

Saiki Kusuo disagreed with this approach, but he did not express his opinion on it.

This is a kind of politeness, just like normal people usually don't take interest in the private affairs of neighbors and point fingers.

Every world has its own troubles. In the world next door, he has to worry about whether the king's sword of Damocles will fall and kill people, but here he has to worry about what Sorasuke will do one day The weapons to rule or destroy the world come out.

Arisugawa's house is not far from Saiki's house, only three blocks away, and it takes 15 minutes to walk and 8 to [-] minutes to run. However, Alice still fell asleep in the socket of his shoulder at such a short distance.

Was it because of turning her into a child?

Based on this premise, it is easy to understand. After all, although children seem to have infinite energy, they are also the ones who are the easiest to fall asleep.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and I just left to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables not long ago. Saiki Kurumi probably hasn't come back yet, leaving it to Saiki Kusuo to think about how to explain to her that her niece has suddenly become a child. There is still time, but it is running out. .

He brought the sleeping Alice to his room, and originally wanted to put her on the bed, but considering that Alice had been kept in a dark room with rats before, Saiki Kusuo finally decided to put her in Sorasuke's room , Waiting for her to wake up there.

However, as soon as he walked along the corridor to the door of Sorasuke's room, the door opened from the inside.

Oh, to be exact, it was opened from the inside.

"Ah~ Kusuo, how are you doing recently? Do you miss me? My brother misses you very much." A blond young man stood in the room and greeted him with a smile.

Saiki Kusuo: […]

Without doubting whether he was hallucinating at all, Saiki Kusuo simply closed the door with a bang, and returned to his room without looking back with Alice in his arms.

"Hey——is this how you treat your elder brother who came back from England? Isn't it a little too unreasonable? Compared with the brother in your arms, you and I are the closest blood brothers?"

Saiki Kongsuke followed behind him chattering all the way, when Saiki Kusuo realized that he would wake up Alice, the little one who had not slept very soundly had already woken up.

Like a bewildered meerkat, she slammed up from his shoulders, then shook her head from side to side in bewilderment, like a little tumbler.

"...Izumo?"

After a while, she let out a low grunt from her throat, which was not the pronunciation of "Korasuke" at all to Saiki Kusuo.

There are three blond men who are familiar with Alice in that world.Saiki Kusuo tried to recall carefully.

The three of them are all young, and the one who resembles Sorasuke the most is the one who always smiles, but the one who can make Alice wake up call her name...

Probably another one who took care of her more often.

"It's not 'Izumo', it's 'Kusuke' Oh, Alice." Saiki Sosuke clapped his hands at her, like coaxing a real child, "Brother hug?"

"Don't... want Kusuo to hug..." Alice flinched back in frustration, and after humming twice, she fell asleep again in a daze.

"It seems that she likes it quite a bit?" Saiki Sosuke stretched out his hand to pinch Alice's pink cheek, but Saiki Kusuo stared his hand away.

Then he silently popped up in his mind the unhideable [whether the request was approved] task window, and selected the only option [Yes, passed], and Alice's wish disappeared.

[When will she return to her original form? ] Saiki Kusuo asked.

Although the appearance is eight years old, but the effect of the ability is actually 15 years old. To always make such strange wishes, Saiki Kusuo will probably experience another downtime in the near future. In fact, because of Alice's too many wishes, he Have experienced several "outages" already.

Alice, who has super powers to follow her words, can't ignore or refuse any wishes she makes.So once there is a wish that Saiki Kusuo does not want to realize, then he can only choose to "put".

As we all know, the computer will crash if you open too many programs.The same principle applies to Saiki Kusuo and Alice.

Although restarting the computer after a crash will make it normal again, it is not a good thing for the computer if it crashes too much. At least, for Saiki Kusuo, a crash means that he will suddenly become a fool, and Saiki Sosuke said The kind of fool who will do whatever - the consequences are simply terrible, no, it is really terrible.

Qi Mukongzhu gave a strange "wow": "You mean her appearance? Isn't this something you can decide by just waving the fairy wand?"

[… But the problem now is that she is still a real child in her mind. ]

Rather than turning her back into a 15-year-old in this state, it's better to keep it the same.

[You should know how to cancel the effect of 'Song of Larva' on her, right? ]

"Of course, that's my invention." Sai Mu Kongsuke shrugged, "But this kind of thing is not something I can decide."

[What's the meaning? ]

"It means that Alice will only become 15 years old when she wants to be 15 years old." The genius scientist smiled at him, "One of the built-in means of observing her emotions in the 'game'. I have to know her It is convenient to adjust the content of the game when she is happy and when she is sad. And she didn’t even have the thought of ‘I want to grow up soon’, which shows that she is really doing well there.”

His righteous words.

However, everyone knows that this is not the case.

[When did your game system have a sense of presence other than in the early days? ]

"When Alice needs it. However, she doesn't need me there, which also proves that we do meet her requirements. You know, she has emphasized 'immersion' many times."

[…So you're saying that if Alice wants to be an eight-year-old, she'll stay that way? ]

"Yes."

[Aunt and Uncle how to explain to them when they come back? ]

No pair of parents can accept that their daughter, whom they have raised for 15 years, has suddenly reversed growth. This is already a super accident.

"Oh, I don't think there is any need to worry about this, after all, the two of them haven't been home much since Alice learned to order takeaway." Sorasuke said indifferently.

...It is true.

Saiki Kusuo sighed.

Like Saiki Kusuo, Alice's abilities continue to grow stronger as she grows older.

And if there is anyone who can surpass Saiki Kusuo and become the most "victim" in the world who suffers from [speaking the law with] powerful superpowers, then only Alice's parents.

When she was a child, her ability was not completely insufficient to affect the world, so she didn't need his "permission".

But having a daughter whose wishes are guaranteed to come true (even if she doesn't have teeth and can't speak, just barks) and who also needs attention is obviously more than any parent in the world can afford.

As long as she said that she wanted them to accompany her, then they had to put down everything in their hands - work, housework, emergency meetings, even if it was a temporary business trip, they had to travel thousands of miles back.

In order to take care of her, the Arisugawa family paid a high price.First of all, Mr. Arisukawa was resigned by the company. Fortunately, he knew a little bit about stock trading, and his luck was good enough. The main reason was that Alice's words and actions were good enough. They earned enough money to support their family. However, Mrs. Arisukawa It is also difficult to bear the constant needs of daughters-parents have the obligation to raise children, but no one stipulates that the center of their world must be children.

They love Alice very much, but it turns out that love also needs space and distance, and breathing room.

So, as Kongsuke said, when Alice was sensible and learned to take care of herself, they immediately asked Alice's consent to travel all over the world to enjoy the life of regaining freedom.

Alice also understands what her parents do.

It's better to say that she feels guilty for keeping her parents by her side for more than ten years, even though she was still young at the time, she didn't know what her actions would lead to.

This may be a disaster that every superpower will experience.

Just like even Saiki Kusuo's life will be messed up by these seemingly omnipotent abilities.

The dirty Alice was put into Saiki Kusuo's clean and warm bed.

She slept dishonestly, tossing and turning, every time Saiki Kusuo had to cover her again with the kicked-off quilt.

But the most terrible thing is not these.

The most terrible thing is Alice's obsession with another world.

——In her dream, she still muttered the names of "Izumo", "Zun", "Anna", and "Tatara", and said that she was going home.

Sorasuke is also next to him, which is even more terrifying! ! !

Saiki Kusuo clutched his forehead, praying that Alice would forget about it quickly—at least not be so persistent.

When she came back from there, she was doomed not to go back.

This is a game in which there will be no reloading after clearing the level.

It's a part of her life experience that can be forgotten but never repeated.

However, feeling his conscience, Saiki Kusuo has begun to miss Alice's time in another world.

Due to the thick barrier between the two worlds, her wishes are unlikely to be sent back here, which made Saiki Kusuo's summer vacation a lot more leisurely.

"Ah, is Kusuo back? Ah, are these extra shoes Sorasuke? Whose are these little leather shoes?"

Saiki Kurumi's voice came from downstairs.

After a while, her brisk footsteps reached the door of Saiki Kusuo's room.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk".

The door was knocked.

"Kusuo, I'm coming in."

[……come in. ]

Saiki Kusuo glanced at Alice who was lying on the bed sleeping in the dark, and decided to have a showdown with his mother.

However, the dull Saiki Kurumi didn't immediately notice that there was a child on the bed. The naive young mother shared with her dear son the interesting things she saw today with a slightly excited smile.

"Kusuo, let me tell you, there's a new bar opening on the shopping street!"

[Oh, is it so. ] Saiki Kusuo's complacency was fading.

"Yeah! But it's so strange. I passed by there yesterday and didn't see it. It's like falling from the sky."

[Oh, is it so. ]

"It's a very fashionable bar! How about we go and sit there when you're an adult?"

[… I am only 16 this year. ]

"Oh, that's why I said wait until you become an adult."

[The owner of that bar will appreciate that you can hope that their shop will survive until I am an adult in a place like this. ] Saiki Kusuo complained expressionlessly.

However, such a response was still too indifferent, and he finally asked, unwilling to spoil his mother's interest: [What's the name of that bar that fell from the sky? ]

"Hmm... Let me think about it, HO... HOMRA? It seems to be the name. Ah, even the name is very foreign!"

[Oh, HOMRA... wait! ]

What did he just hear?

Barbara? ? ?
