Chapter 671: Coming Back?
Beep beep ~ beep ~ beep drip-
In the dimly lit room obscured by the curtains, a small white hand reached out from the bed's nest curled up by the wall and pressed it on the low cabinet beside the bed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of the alarm clock stopped abruptly, and the hand that stopped the alarm bell first sat on the side of the bed for a short while, and then, as if stimulated by the cold outside, a vague muttering sound came from the bed, and the little hand that stopped the alarm clock retracted into the bed with a very different agility from the previous slow outreach.
As if nothing had happened, the room was quiet again, and there was no sound other than the slight breathing of the room's owner as he lay on the bed.
However, in less than five minutes, this calm was shattered.
Click, click, there was a slight but rhythmic sound of footsteps from the corridor outside the door, and then, the handle of the door was pressed down, and then a gap was pushed open from the outside to the inside, just enough to reveal the face, and a beautiful woman with a very gentle temperament pushed open the door and leaned a small half of her body into the room.
"Cheruth, get up and wash up, breakfast is ready. β
In the room, someone on the bed seemed to be perfectly integrated with the quilt around him, and then let out a few inexplicable chirps in response to the woman.
For her daughter's blatant bed-lying behavior, the woman's face showed a little resentment and a strong doting from outside, and she glanced at her own daughter on the bed with some amusement and helplessness, and the woman slowly closed the door, and skillfully said the sentence that she had to say almost every morning recently.
"Ten minutes, if you don't come down, you'll let the gray wind kid wait for you outside, the weather has been getting a little cooler lately. β
With that, the door was gently slammed shut by the woman.
After a few seconds of silence, the silence in the room was broken by the slightly annoyed and depressed voice of a child on the bed.
"Hmm~~~Hmm~~~Nest don't~~~"
She said "don't", but the girl yawned and rubbed her eyes, peeked out of the bed and slowly sat up on the bed.
Well, Cheruth, a 17-year-old high school girl, has been a textbook mouthful since she got up in the morning today.
Because I lay down to sleep after taking a shower before going to bed last night, my long violet hair, which was originally beautiful and soft, now has a slight feeling of fried hair, although the luster is still fresh and moving, but this handful of long hair is messy, and it looks quite joyful. However, Cheruth herself didn't seem to care too much about this, and the girl who still looked very sleepy had obviously not fully woken up from her sleep, and sat on the bed with a little dull eyes looking at the furnishings around the house, obviously in her own room, but the eyes of the girl who had just woken up revealed a moment of strangeness.
Immediately after, it seemed that the progress of the brain reboot had been completed a lot, and the confusion in Cheruth's eyes was gradually replaced by sobriety, and with a light sigh, the girl raised her hand and habitually wanted to touch the fluffy wolf ears on the top of her head, but she ended up scratching a void.
Ah, by the way, yourself...... Now it's completely like an ordinary human girl, without wolf ears and wolf tails.
While realizing this, a slight chill turned into an itch in the nasal cavity, and the girl who woke up and sat on the bed only in pajamas received a small punishment from the seasonal temperature because of her big nerves.
β...... Hello!"
With a lovely sneeze, Chelus sniffed and began to get out of bed, when, as if telepathically, a loud reminder came from outside the door of her mother, who should have left for the kitchen.
"Cheruth, hurry up and get dressed and wash up when you get up, be careful not to catch a cold!"
A few minutes later, Cheruth appeared in the bathroom a little listlessly, brushing her teeth with her own toothbrush while looking in the mirror at the girl in a predominantly burgundy and dark brown college uniform with a lot of modern elements added to the European royal uniform, but with a somewhat messy purple hair.
It's been a week...... Sure enough, there is still not much real feeling.
Sighing in her heart, Cheruth's other hand that was not holding a toothbrush was raised, opened to the mirror, her feet slightly pulled away and shoulder-level, and she said silently in her heart:
- "Wind Blowing"!
..................
............ Mutter~~~~
Nothing happened except that the little belly that felt empty in the morning was laughing at the sudden middle two behavior of its own master because of hunger. There was no sense of magic flowing in her body, and there was no air flow around her, and her messy hair was not smoothed by the gentle flow of wind that she had summoned casually.
The girl wordlessly put away the stupid "spell casting" she had suddenly made in the bathroom, took advantage of the situation to pick up the water cup by the sink with her raised hand, and then put down the toothbrush and began to rinse her mouth.
Normal? or abnormal?
Cheruth couldn't figure out whether a week had passed, but she still didn't know if something was wrong with her or if there was something wrong with her world.
She still vividly remembers the scene a week ago.
On the eastern continent of the continent of Ares, in order to stop the chaos beast tide riot caused by Tafel's subordinates in the bone swamp, she and her friends, together with the dragons and white elves who are the guardians of order, launched a decisive battle with the chaos beast tide and Tafel's masters outside the bone swamp. After a fierce battle, Nanoha, Sekaria, Sister Grey Wind, and the two White Elf elders all lost their combat power one after another, but they finally suppressed the masters under Tafel, and at the same time, relying on the timely reinforcements of the Phoenix Clan, they were about to successfully resist the attack of the Chaos Beast Tide.
But at this moment, Tafel himself appeared. This degenerate, who has been secretly planning to create chaos and disrupt order on the continent since fifty years ago, was originally just concerned about the two xenomorphic law godheads from the space of the Four Holy Sects that his subordinates had finally obtained, but after arriving, he immediately saw that the Origin Law Seal on Cheruth's body and the fact that the seal contained the Nolan Xenomorph Law that he had dreamed of.
Tafel, whose existence itself has completely deteriorated, is too powerful, so strong that she and Selman, the two strongest masters on their side, have no way to defeat him at all, and her intention to delay waiting for Nien and York's rescue is even more invalid because of Tafel's advance arrangement, apparently just before intervening in this incident in the Eastern Continent, Tafel had already thought about how to deal with Nien and York, who had been looking for his traces, and used trickery to lure them away and trap them.
Later, Cheruth's memory was not very real, and she could only remember that there was only one thought in her heart at that time, that is, she couldn't let Tafel get the Nolan Xenomorph Law in her body. But she seemed to have failed, because the moment she turned to flee, a sharp pain that she still remembers completely knocked her unconscious and interrupted her memory.
That's right, the pain is severe, the pain is heartbreaking, it hurts to the bone marrow, it hurts, as if she was directly torn to pieces by a strange force from the inside out.
Bang dang.
The glass of water in Cheruth's hand fell into the sink, and the water in it splashed everywhere at once, but fortunately the sink was deep enough that the spilled water didn't get much of it onto her uniform.
Cheruth gritted her teeth, the hand holding the toothbrush was bruised on the back of her white hand due to overexertion, and the other hand was just tugging at her chest. When she looked up, she saw that her face in the mirror was even paler than usual, and with the unkempt purple hair, the little person in the mirror actually had a haggard and weak feeling that was strange to her.
That's right, she's scared, terribly scared...... Even if it's been a week, even if it's just a little bit of the pain she experienced at that time, she will be afraid of it.
The feeling of having your soul torn apart is terrifying......
...... That's why the memory is so clear, and the pain is so unforgettable...... None of that should be a dream, right?
But if that's the case, what is it now?
Cheruth looked at herself in the mirror in a very aristocratic school uniform, and showed a somewhat feeble self-deprecating smile.
If that's the case, then the gods in charge of the rebirth of the transcendents in the dark really favor her too much.
β...... Xiaobai, you are really in a daze here, it's been this time, and if you don't hurry up, you'll be late-uh, Xiaobai, are you not feeling well?
Cheruth turned her head to look at the girl standing at the door of the bathroom, who looked younger than her but was wearing the same school uniform as her, with long silver-gray hair, and a pair of golden-green eyes that she was very familiar with.
β...... I'm fine, Sister Grey Wind, I'm just stunned. β
-----

After a while, in the living room of Cheruth's house, Cheruth sat at the dining table, somewhat helplessly coping with the petite girl sitting next to her.
"Ash, Sister Gray Wind, I've said it all, I'm really fine, I don't have a fever or a stomachache, and it's not me today...... That, the day I came to that, I was really good and had no mental and physical problems. β
Cheruth tried to make herself appear sincere to explain to Grey Wind, but before Grey could speak, Tias, who had come to the table from the kitchen with breakfast, spoke with some concern.
"Eh, are you unwell?"
At the same time, sitting on the other side of the dining table, Ryan, who was originally reading the newspaper, also put down the newspaper slightly, and looked at his daughter over the top of the newspaper.
Beside Cheruth, the big eyes of Gray Wind, Green and Gold, blinked, although she did not speak, but the meaning in her eyes that she would not be easily confused was quite obvious.
Looking back and forth at these relatives around her, although Cheruth felt a little helpless in her heart, for some reason, a warmer and touching friendship also came up.
That's right, if this is really not a dream, but a rebirth after her death, then the gods really love her too much.
A week was enough time for her to understand the situation in the world she was in now, and although there were some discrepancies in the very few details, almost 99.9% of the rest of the world was exactly the same as the earth she lived on before she became Cheruth...... No, or rather, she simply returned to the plane where Earth was.
However, she did not return to become the original otaku hacker, but still retained the identity and appearance of Cheruth, and became a female high school student who was studying at an aristocratic high school near her home. Moreover, Tias and Ryan, her biological parents, who had not known her until the time of life and death on the continent of Ares, were completely safe in this world, and formed a happy and beautiful small family with her.
And on the continent of Ares, she has been taking care of her since she was born, and her sister Gray Wind, who has always been hard working and guarding her side, has become an ordinary human girl like her, and has become a neighbor and sister who has been with her childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and Gray Wind's parents, that is, the neighbors who live next door to the Cheruth family, are the foolish couple of Herlan and Selman, who are all too familiar to Cheruth, of course, the two are not demon wolves and red dragons at all in this world, but an ordinary and ordinary human coupleγ
Except for the absence of magic and vindictiveness, the absence of those thrilling adventures, almost the same as the days of Cheruth on the continent of Alet, no, even better.
"No, it's said that it's Sister Gray Wind, she's worried too much, I'm fine, it's just that I was sleepy when I was washing just now, so I'm just stunned. β
Saying this, Cheruth first made a grimace at Ryan, who was the best to "deal with", and then turned her head and used her eyes to convey to Gray Wind that she was "really really okay light", and sure enough, the tsundere father who had some hidden daughters in this world coughed lightly, retracted his gaze and re-established the newspaper and read it, and although Gray Wind was still a little skeptical of Cheruth's statement, he couldn't resist the coquettishness of the neighbor's sister in the end, and snorted softly and let her go.
Only Tias was not so easy to deceive, and put down the plate with fried eggs and ham toast in front of Cheruth's table, and Tias put one hand on her forehead and the other hand against Cheruth's forehead.
"Isn't there really any discomfort, Cheruth?"
"Mom~ No, look. β
After confirming that there was no fever, and seeing her daughter's little face that seemed to be no different from the usual spirit, Tias smiled comfortably and scratched Cheruth's nose.
"Okay, then hurry up and eat, or you'll be late with Gray Wind again. β
Cheruth wrinkled her nose and began to look down as fast as she could to settle her breakfast, and Tias looked at her daughter dotingly for a moment, then smiled at Grey Wind.
"Gray Wind, I'm sorry for you. β
"It's okay, Auntie. β
"It's great to have you taking care of our family, and you've had breakfast, haven't you? I'll get you a glass of juice. β
