There was a gathering in the restaurant.

On the round table in the center, dishes prepared by professional chefs are placed.

And at the moment, there are a lot of people who are doing live activities -

Kasumigaoka and Eiri were preparing drinks, Chinohe and Yuri were putting paper towels on the table, Tina and Luise carefully operated the air conditioner switch, and the rest of Shimazaki and An Yilun also pushed the rest of the ingredients to the restaurant by food cart.

When everyone had something to do, Gu Wu and Altaïr came to the corridor connected to the restaurant.

"Didn't you keep the staff in charge all the time......

As soon as Altaïr said this, Gu Wu immediately responded

"After all, everyone is very gentle, at this point in time, it must be to reduce the burden on the other party, not to mention that we can do the rest of the work ourselves, so we don't have to continue to trouble them."

The staff at this restaurant did not deliberately evade, but Shimazaki and others took the initiative to complete the work of the clerk, so that the latter was able to go to rest in advance and only need to clean up once after the meal.

Altair, who did not continue to stare at the interior of the restaurant, retracted his gaze and felt the breeze coming from the front.

By nightfall, the sky was already dark, and the moon and stars, which had been attracting attention, were blocked by clouds, and it was unclear if it would rain next.

However, Altaïr obviously didn't care about this, Gu Wu, who understood this, leaned against the door frame and sighed lightly before the other party spoke.

"Did I make a mistake in the first place? The idea of 'wanting a real and interesting world'......"

Gu Wu stared at the night sky where the stars and the bright moon were missing, and continued

"It is because of this idea that the 'rebellion of the freed' and the 'conflict of the unjust' have emerged in the world before us, and if the 'autonomy' is removed, ......

"I will not judge your decision, but if we exchange sides, then I will not be able to take back what I have done; As you can see, the original me was created by the moment, and at the moment I have gained 'freedom' and 'self-confidence' and 'self-awareness', and the moment she ...... I'm glad I can 'become who I am'. ”

"Sounds like criticism......"

Gu Wu, who chuckled, left the door frame.

In the past, when he exchanged the world to the system, he wanted the system to replicate the real world as much as possible, and at the same time it had to be possible and interesting.

Thanks to this, there are aliens and other non-human beings in the current world, and there are even special monsters, superpowers, and magicians.

Let Gu Wu comment, his speech is very brief-

The exchange world has become a plane of various settings and miracles, and compared to other worlds, the probability of the exchange world is the highest.

However, the problems that Gu Wu has to face are also based on the 'miracles' mentioned above.

Powerful aliens, powerful magicians, and evil powerhouses, they will not always live peacefully under Gu Wu's rights.

That's right, Gu Wu has the identity of 'savior' and 'ruler' in this world, but for some people who try to rebel in vain, Gu Wu is like a 'representative of the ruling class' and a 'dictator who doesn't understand the will of the people', so they choose to rebel.

Gu Wu didn't have the idea of persecuting anyone, he just hoped to create an interesting world, nothing more.

However, Gu Wu, who had such an idea, could not let all the people under his command do the same.

Gu Wu gave an order, the order was passed on to the lower level, and the lower level instructed the lower level, and in the end, it was like a 'middleman making the difference', and by the time the order began, most of them had already turned sour.

So what to do?

Even if Gu Wu is very appealing, it is impossible to rely on a few simple words to make the perpetrator give up everything he has done.

Assuming on-the-spot investigations, it is impossible for Gu Wu, who has limited ability and energy, to go to every place in the world and solve all problems in person.

Originally......

Gu Wu made the system give the inhabitants 'self-awareness' in order to make the world look freer, rather than a lifeless 'lonely castle'.

But freedom also has to be priced.

Among the self-conscious crowd, there are naturally rebels.

The powerful Gu Wu is not afraid of anyone's challenge, especially in this exchange world, Gu Wu's strength is no different from that of a god.

The problem, however, is that this power cannot bring everyone to their knees.

"You're right......"

Gu Wu stared at Altair.

"There's no way I'm going to take back my previous orders."

Whether it was on a whim or for the sake of so-called expectations, it was impossible for Gu Wu to change the setting of this world.

The reason is simple.

The original victors, the hosts of the past, everything they did was to get Gu Wu 'back on track', no longer polluted by the distorted world, and able to live as he wanted.

If the setting can be changed, and Gu Wu at this moment lets the system behave like that, it is equivalent to taking away the life of 'a world'.

[Respond to the host, it depends on how the host understands!] If the host wants the system to reset the world, then the system will erase everything, let this start over, remove the 'rebellion consciousness' in the hearts of the 'residents', and complete a special utopian society! 】

The system interjects at this point, and its statement has already made the point.

"Eliminate the entire world of human ...... That decision wasn't in my plans. ”

[Responding to the host, so the host is quite gentle in this regard!] And in addition to what you said, there is actually another reason; The world itself has many settings, so it will be easier to accept characters from different planes, and if all kinds of abnormal characters are eliminated, the tolerance of the exchange world will also be reduced, which will affect other characters. 】

I believe that the system refers to special existences such as Shimazaki Instant, Kasumigaoka, etc.

[Responding to the host, in the final analysis, it is difficult to 'let the protagonists of different settings live in the same plane'; setting conflicts, role fit, exclusion and stability after world acceptance, whether the peculiarities will be affected, etc., are all problems.] 】

"I understand this......"

Gu Wu is very strong, but he is not a god who can casually distort space and master the universe.

Bringing characters from different worlds to the same plane obviously has a lot of problems to overcome.

Fortunately, as it stands, it's not bad.

To sum up, it is impossible for Gu Wu to let the system completely change this exchange world.

In this case, what kind of options can better solve the current problem?

"Both! It's time to eat! ”

The voice came from behind, it was Shimazaki Aki with chopsticks in his hand.

"Miss Altair, let's get here today."

"No problem, about what happened after this...... What are you going to do with the message of 'unrest in the northern cities' sent by Richardson? ”

"Field trips and stuff."

Gu Wu walked inside the house and made additions at the same time

"Isn't a world conference a good solution?"

————

The dinner menu was rich in almost every taste, satisfying the needs of all diners on the scene.

Gu Wu thought that this information must have been provided to them by Richardson, otherwise the chef would not be able to make everyone's favorite food so accurately.

After dinner, the next step is to head to the 'open-air hot spring' that Gu Wu once mentioned.

The hot spring is located in the middle of the mountains behind the restaurant, and the operators have built a road to the destination so that guests can enter and exit freely.

For Gu Wu and the others, the process of going to the open-air hot spring can be regarded as a good exercise after dinner, not to mention that the distance is not very far, and they can reach their destination within ten minutes.

This open-air hot spring is a geothermal hot spring, and it has not been discovered for a long time, but it is already very popular.

Gu Wu knew that this was the setting of the system, and it was not clear what the prototype of the reference was.

Either way, as long as it's a place where you can enjoy it!

So everyone took a change of yukata and stepped up the stairs to the destination.

Halfway through, Xia Zhiqiu gently swept away the fallen leaves on the stairs with his feet, and then asked Gu Wu a question

"Mr. Gu Wu, shouldn't that open-air hot spring be a mixed bath?"

"How is that possible...... There is a special area for men and women. ”

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

"That's right."

Gu Wu gave a gentleman-like answer directly, and patted the shoulder of the young man next to him.

"That's what you think, right?"

"Mixed bath...... It's exactly the scene you'll see in the anime! If you have experienced it firsthand......"

An Yilun, who wanted to stop talking, didn't know how to live for a while.

Gu Wu, who let go of the young man's shoulder, sped up at this moment

"We'll know when the time comes, anyway."

Treading on a staircase with fallen leaves, this forest road is a favorite spot for the evening breeze, and the cool wind currents take away the summer heat and blow into the distance.

The bright moon overhead was obscured by the clouds, but the light of the street lamps illuminated the stairs ahead, and listening to the insects and birds, everyone's steps became lighter.

It took about eight minutes to reach the open-air bath, which was the main point.

What appeared in front of everyone was a wooden hut, and at the door, a man and a woman, stood two staff members.

"There is no exercise area in this hot spring, so we don't have more impact on the environment, but we have plenty of drinks and sweets for you to enjoy."

After the clerk finished speaking, the men and women divided into two teams and entered the house under their guidance.

Change in the changing room and open the sliding door to enter the open-air hot spring.

On the left side of the misty scene, there is a faucet, body soap, shampoo, and other items for customers to rinse, and on the right is the hot spring, which is the main body.

The male and female hot springs were blocked by fences and walls made of bamboo, so when Gu Wu and An Yilun also entered the scene, the sound of girls talking next door also sounded.

They were laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good for chatting and partying.

Gu Wu and An Yi glanced at each other, obediently ran to rinse off, and then entered the hot spring.

"It's really comfortable......"

"Mr. Gu Wu really found a good place......

"Of course."

Almost at the same time, there was another sound next door.

It's a conversation that gives people a 'sense of déjà vu'.

"Miss Instant is in good shape!"

"No...... Sawamura-san, very slim......"

"Don't count!!"

After Shimazaki Instant and Eiri Riri......

"Yuri! Don't come around! ”

"Xiaoqian, you are what the movie says is hidden, look at me!"

"That's growth, isn't it...... Don't come closer! Yikes! ”

With Qianhu's interaction with Yuri, Luise seemed to want to get close to Tina, but Gu Wu soon heard Luise screaming 'her nose hurts', and she was probably punched.

The rest of the people are inside......

When the girls interacted, Kasumigaoka threw the topic to Gu Wu's side.

"Can you hear me? Mr. Gu Wu? Ethics-kun!? ”

"Of course ......"

"You're not doing anything strange, are you?"

After Gu Wu answered, An Yilun beside him immediately emphasized

"I don't understand what Kasumigaoka-senpai is saying!"

And when An Yilun also finished speaking, Louise quickly asked

"Sister Kasumigaoka, what's the strange thing?"

"This ......"

Even Kasumigaoka is difficult to give an accurate and reasonable explanation at this time.

So the one who had been silent spoke.

The maiden named Altair explained

"It's a ...... like a blissful delusion"

"That's it!"

Convinced of Altair's explanation, Louise stood up with the sound of water.

"Master! I'll go over now!! ”

"Wait!!"

Ying Lili immediately stopped Luis, who was trying to move to Gu Wu's side.

Thanks to this, the roaring sound of water sounded again.

Subsequently—

"It hurts! Sister-sama! Don't hit me in the head with a knife! I'll fight back! ...... now"

"Take a good bath and wait until you have something to eat."

Instantly given a reminder, Loise immediately calmed down.

However, the interaction of the girls made it difficult for Gu Wu and the others next door to calm down completely.

"Speaking ......"

Kasumigaoka on the other side of the women's hot spring spoke again

"Mr. Gu Wu said that he hopes we have a good time."

"That's right, it can be seen as an agreement."

"I'm happy right now...... At least that's how I am, so thank you to Mr. Gu Wu, it made me relax a lot. ”

After speaking, the others also began to echo Kasumigaoka's statement and express their gratitude to Gu Wu.

They're happy, and that's enough.

At this moment, the clouds that had originally blocked the night sky suddenly dispersed, and the bright sky dome came into view again.

You can see that—

It was a vast sea of stars, a dazzling sky full of silver light.

Altaïr drove away the clouds? Gu Wu didn't dig deeper, and there was no need, it was enough to just enjoy this moment.

"Come back next time, Mr. Gu Wu."

Hearing Xia Zhiqiu take the lead and say this, Gu Wu then looked upward.

Looking up at the infinite universe, you can see the beauty of the moonlit night.

"Well, let's come back next time."

Gu Wu made an agreement and prepared to meet his future.
