Chapter 4: One Xier, Two Xiers... (k)
——A few more minutes passed.
"Do you know you are wrong?"
"Wow...I...got it."
"Will you kill people again in the future?"
"Wuwu... No, I won't kill him..."
"Are you still using this power recklessly?"
"Wow... No, that's fine..."
"You must be obedient from now on, understand?"
“Wuwuwu…be good…be good and listen…”
Hyperion Café, 1st floor.
In the middle of the hall, the Herrscher of the Void, who was crying breathlessly, sat on a chair. The young store manager was facing the Herrscher of the Void with tears on her face, and spoke to her in a gentle and persuasive tone.
Theresa looked with a blank face at the Herrscher of the Void who was sitting in the middle of the hall, crying and nodding obediently. She felt like the world was collapsing.
"Well, good."
After receiving obedient answers to a series of questions, the store manager touched the Herrscher of the Sky's trembling head with a melancholy expression.
How long does it take for a person's beliefs to be completely destroyed?
This time may be long or short, but for the Herrscher of the Void who has always called herself Sirin, the moment the Herrscher's power completely rejected her and even eroded her body in turn, her will, ideals, and self were completely destroyed.
The power of the Ruler of the Void rejected the Ruler of the Void, which not only meant that she was no longer an apostle of "God", and the will she represented was not recognized by "God", but also meant that... "God" had completely abandoned her.
Thoroughly.
When the Herrscher of the Void is no longer the Herrscher of the Void, and is unwilling to admit that she is "Xilin", what else does she have left?
Probably all that's left is a confused and aggrieved little girl.
"..."
Looking at the Herrscher of the Sky who was constantly sniffling, the store manager couldn't help but feel a headache again.
He looked around his coffee shop. Hmm, there were a lot of customers. It was only the third day of business and the business was so booming. It was really a cause for celebration. But it was a pity...
...What the hell!
"...Just in case, let me ask you something." The store manager held his forehead and gently smoothed his frown. "Are you...coming to my store to drink coffee?"
Except for a few shop assistants, everyone in the hall shook their heads in unison.
"..."
My head hurts even more.
Not only my head, but also my waist and stomach began to ache.
"Come one by one according to the time you arrived at the store." He waved his hands with a melancholy expression, and his voice was full of strong fatigue. "Who arrived first?"
"..."
Bronya from Changkong City in 2013 looked around, a hint of confusion flashing across her expressionless face.
She pointed at herself, and then pointed at another "self" from 2017: "Bronya, I just want to find another 'self' to ask Seele about——"
"Xier, right? Okay, I'll help you find it--" The manager closed his eyes, and an invisible wave suddenly spread out with his body as the center.
Fu Hua, who had once experienced a similar power from "End", instinctively tensed her translucent body.
The Herrscher of the Sky blinked his golden eyes with tears in his eyes, and a hint of fear appeared uncontrollably in his pupils with cross patterns on them.
Sure enough, this feeling... is exactly the same as the feeling I had when I faced "God" at that time...
"Hmm... Seele fell into the quantum sea from the intrinsic world... Seele fell into the quantum sea..."
The young store manager murmured for a while, then raised his hand and waved.
“Eh…? Eh…? W-What is this?”
"Xi'er——? Damn it! Let me go——why are you letting me go too——???"
Outside the door of the café, two panicked and anxious voices suddenly rang out. One of the voices was soft and gentle, while the other was as violent as a firecracker that was about to explode.
Then, the door of the cafe suddenly opened, and two girls, one black and one white, who were trapped by invisible lines, flew into the lobby of the cafe.
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the two struggling girls with dazed expressions.
"Eh? B... Bronya-sister? Principal Theresa... And Kiana-sister, Mei-sister, Dr. Tesla is here too..." The girl in a white puffy skirt looked around and let out a soft "why?" She immediately slowed down her struggle. "Why are all of you gathered here? This place... seems to be a cafe? What is this place?"
"Don't talk yet! Xi'er!"
A shout with some shock, anger and fear suddenly sounded, and another black-haired girl wearing a set of black light armor stared at the young store manager like a black cat with its fur standing on end. Her slightly shrunken pupils revealed a strong sense of vigilance and astonishment, and her voice sounded a little trembling:
"This man... is actually the same as Kiana... No, he's even more..."
"What are you talking about, Xi'er? Isn't Sister Kiana right here..."
As she was talking, the girl with a gentle expression suddenly froze.
Yes, shouldn’t Sister Kiana live on the moon?
So who is Sister Kiana here...
"…We caught the wrong person. It's not you two. Go back."
At this moment, the young store manager's somewhat dejected voice interrupted the white-clothed girl's thoughts. He waved his hand, and before the two girls, one in black and one in white, could come to their senses, their bodies were suddenly thrown out of the door of the cafe by a strong traction.
“Eh? Eh hey hey——?? Wait——!” After the whole person was thrown out of the door of the cafe unexpectedly, a gentle voice with a strong sense of confusion came from afar, “Hey, what on earth is going on——?”
"Xi'er - damn it! How dare you treat Xi'er like this! You bastard, just wait for me -!!!"
After the words were spoken, the cafe hall returned to silence.
The whole process, from the time the two Seeles were caught in to the time they were thrown out, took no more than half a minute, leaving everyone in the hall stunned. Bronya in 2013 was even more stunned.
“Xi…Xi’er…?”
After being stunned for a long time, Bronya finally came to her senses.
The expressionless little face revealed a barely audible sense of helplessness.
"Why, why did you kick Xier out again?"
There was a flat tone of voice, revealing a deep-seated madness.
Bronya finally saw Seele! Why was she thrown back after only half a minute?
Yes, are you kidding me? Does the manager of this cafe have such a bad hobby?
"I told you I caught the wrong people. They are not from your side." The store manager snorted with embarrassment in his voice. The invisible wave spread out again. "Don't worry, I'll look for them again..."
"...Yes, I got it. This should be correct now."
He waved his hand, and a soft exclamation was heard from outside the door again.
"Eh...? This power is... Let's follow it and see for ourselves."
The door of the cafe opened, and a gentle girl who looked exactly like the girl in white that he had just captured was captured again.
——No, judging from the fact that the other party did not resist at all and her gentle little face had a serious expression, although her appearance and clothing were the same as the girl just now, it was obvious that they were not the same person.
"what?"
The moment she was dragged into the coffee shop by the store manager, she blinked her eyes.
"Sister Bronya, Sister Mei, Sister Kiana, have you all reunited? The World Serpent is over there..."
"wrong again."
The young store manager waved his hand in annoyance, and the confused girl in white was thrown out of the door of the cafe without any resistance.
"..."
The atmosphere in the hall fell into an eerie silence.
"Hiss... Has Xi'er in the Eigenworld had so many experiences of falling into the quantum sea?"
The young store manager scratched his head and began to doubt his life.
Bronya showed a somewhat unhappy expression, and her two small eyes stared at the store manager motionlessly.
???stare----
"Ahem, Bi——After all, this is the quantum sea. In a space without any rules, it's not strange for anything to happen, right?"
The store manager coughed and snorted, feeling a little guilty.
"For the last time, for the last time, this time I will definitely bring Xier to you!"
Why does it feel like catching a doll?
The store manager muttered quietly in his heart, and the invisible waves spread out again.
Xier fell into the quantum sea... Xier fell into the quantum sea...
Found it, it must be you this time——!
Sudden--
That invisible wave dissipated without any warning.
At the same time, outside the door of the cafe, an extremely strong cold current followed the traction emitted by the store manager and rushed into the cafe at lightning speed.
The store manager's expression changed slightly, he threw his hand back and shouted angrily:
"Get back!"
Boom! With a loud bang, the entire ground of the cafe shook in the fierce conflict of force.
Damn! Kevin?
It was not difficult for the store manager to identify the source of the strong cold current, but he still had the urge to curse.
Whose Xier's head did he touch? Why is there Kevin next to him?
Not only him, but also everyone in the cafe who was familiar with this cold current, including Fu Hua who was floating in the air, and the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, couldn't help but change their expressions.
Bronya, who was eagerly waiting for her good sister to return, had a stiff expression, and her gray eyes revealed a strong sense of doubt about life.
No, how many Seels are there in the Quantum Ocean? Why do all the Seels who fell into the Quantum Ocean look like they are in trouble?
Her best friend will never get along with the Quantum Sea in her life, right? Bronya is a little autistic.
In fact, the store manager is also a bit autistic.
"Hiss... This shouldn't be the case. Is it that difficult to fish out Xi'er from the quantum sea? I really don't believe this..."
The store manager, who was a little impatient, groaned through gritted teeth.
This time, he closed his eyes and temporarily shut down all five senses. At the same time, an unprecedented violent wave almost became a reality and spread wildly from the coffee shop.
“What the hell——!!!!”
Suddenly, the hairs on the manager's back stood up, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"????"
Before the people in the hall could come to their senses, a cold wave hundreds... or even thousands of times stronger than the previous one came in an instant from some unknown world outside.
A blinding light flashed through the crack of the coffee shop's door. Although the store manager personally blocked it, the power of the flash did not affect the coffee shop itself, but the fluctuations contained in that power made Fu Hua's eyes widen suddenly, and she said in a lost voice:
“The Herrsterian of the End??? How is it possible——???”
Hearing the completely out-of-tune calm voice, the expressions of most people in the hall became dull, and the pupils of the Herrscher of the Void even trembled violently.
"???"
Bronya from 2013 is so numb.
Why can a Seer in the Quantum Sea be attacked by the Lawgiver of the End? ! ?
Wait, is there also a Herrscher of the End in the Quantum Sea? ! ! Just as everyone was having these thoughts uncontrollably, the manager's furious roar came faintly from the crack in the door of the coffee shop.
"You... you are sick! I used my sense of touch in the quantum sea to find someone who was in your way, so why did you just shoot me?! Huh??"
