Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: A Relationship That's Almost Beyond the Point of No Return

Reincarnation Pandora

Rank: EX

Type: Unknown

Range: Unknown

Max Effect: - Suspected to have the ability to seize an opponent's Noble Phantasm (including those sublimated from stories). Origin unknown.

Powerful Noble Phantasms often come with powerful costs and side effects. Just as the Holy Sword of the Planet requires the consent of at least six or more Knights of the Round Table to be fully released, activating Reincarnation Pandora also requires necessary conditions.

The first is abundant magical energy. The second is the need to "see" and "understand." The third is precise targeting of a single item.

Only by meeting the above requirements can one accurately take the opponent's Noble Phantasms and other items as one's own.

Although Qian Yi had no magical energy, he had very strong spiritual power and the divine energy generated by his Divinity to replace the consumption. But the latter two requirements were undoubtedly a bit beyond the scope of a beginner like him.

To put it simply, Reincarnation Pandora was a claw machine. You needed to aim and then press a button to launch the claw to grab something. But Qian Yi had never learned the magic system, so he couldn't accurately grab things by pressing a button to activate the precise and complex magic circuits of the claw machine. So he could only smash the claw machine open and throw the claw out to grab things.

The precision, naturally, was worrying.

But did it matter? It didn't! As long as I grab enough times, precision is not a problem!

But even so, the nine consecutive uses of Reincarnation Pandora achieved with the help of Nine Lives brought a huge consumption. His stamina hit rock bottom in an instant. Fortunately, Kiana's and Talulah's health bars (clothes) had been completely depleted by him. This battle was his victory. The two of them no longer had the ability to fight again.

I am the champion!

However, the battlefield is always changing. Just when he thought the two had completely lost their combat effectiveness, the two figures lying in the pile of messy clothes suddenly rushed out and attacked him.

What?!

Are they crazy?!

Their clothes have all been stolen by me. If they attack now, doesn't that mean they're attacking in a completely naked state?

Should I close my eyes?

No! If you think I'll close my eyes out of shame and let you successfully sneak attack me, you're gravely mistaken!

If it were Shoko and Liah doing this, I would naturally close my eyes. But you two, one a husky and the other a blockhead Talulah, in my eyes, you're no different from pets or males!

There's nothing to close my eyes for!

It's you who should be hiding from my sight!

But when he looked closely, he realized the problem. Kiana and Talulah were not completely naked, but were, as at the beginning, one wearing his pants with a bandage wrap on her chest, and the other wearing his top.

"I thought I stole all your clothes!" Qian Yi was greatly surprised. Even the Black Snake was pulled out by me. How are there still more?

"The clothes after transforming into a magical girl are a different set from before transforming! Even if you strip away all our clothes after transformation, after we cancel the transformation, we still have a set!" Kiana explained kindly. "You who have not become a magical girl, how could you possibly understand the greatness of this power!"

"It's a noble extra health bar?!"

"That's right!"

"I'm really defeated by you two."

Qian Yi exhaled, closing his eyes. His stamina was exhausted, and he could no longer use Reincarnation Pandora. Without the ability to deal noble true damage, he couldn't defeat the Red Dragon and the Herrscher of the Void with just his physical body.

This battle was your victory.

"Got him!" Talulah's hand was firmly pressed on Qian Yi's chest.

The next moment, a surge of power erupted from Qian Yi's body.

Seeing this, a knowing smile and a sense of anticipation appeared on Talulah's face.

You mock my taste and call me a tomboy. Let's see what kind of taste you have!

The dark light disappeared at this moment.

Talulah finally saw Qian Yi's true form after transformation. A long skirt modified from a school uniform in shades of dark gray and black covered his body, with a double-wing design on the back. The gloves were a bright, contrasting red. The shoes were black high-heeled long boots, and he wore long black stockings on his legs. A white spirit-bird-like mask concealed his peerless face, and his short silver bangs had also become silver twin pigtails.

Toyokawa Shoko stared in a daze. "So... so stylish. And it suits him so well."

Kiana's eyes were practically glued to him. "Bro, you smell so good."

Artoria's eyes were full of stars. "He's just like a female phantom thief from a fairy tale who robs the rich to help the poor."

"How should I put it? It's a strange feeling," Qian Yi said, touching the mask on his face. It should have been a very embarrassing thing, but with this mask, the sense of shame was greatly diminished.

It felt like hiding his true self and showing a different face to the world.

A phantom thief... huh? It feels very trendy.

Talulah: "?"

What's going on? This feeling of being the only one out of place?

Looking at the five people on the field now, Qian Yi was a phantom thief, Kiana was a queen, Artoria was a princess in an elegant blue and white dress, and Toyokawa Shoko was... uh, what do you call someone who wears black lace panties as a mask over her face?

A pervert?

Although Shoko's mask looked strange, her clothes were genuinely full of femininity. In contrast, she herself was in a military uniform, and a very tightly wrapped one at that, even with a military cap on her head.

She looked like a hardcore 18+ muscleman who had suddenly appeared on a magical girl set. The art style was completely different.

She was very hurt.

At this moment, Qian Yi's hand rested on her shoulder, comforting her. "Ata, there's always a dead child in one's heart that one can't accept, or rather, another side of oneself. These are all inseparable and undeniable parts of you. You may not be able to immediately accept your other side now, but there's no need to be anxious about it. As a friend, as a member of a community living under the same destiny, I will do my best to cultivate the soil where you are before your soil bears fruit."

"I don't really care about being feminine," Talulah said.

"I know. But change, resistance, and revolution can start from changing oneself. Your old clothes were already faded. Shoko and I can help you design a new uniform later, and you can try a new style," Qian Yi suggested. "Like my phantom thief outfit."

"I'll pass," Talulah refused. "Your super-wide-eyed flounder glasses are too cringe."

"I see you want to eat a Myriad Truths /(^v^)."

Talulah returned the smile.

At this moment, she felt a strange emotion spreading in her heart.

...

I am thou, thou art I.

Thou hast acquired a new vow.

The vow is the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.

With the birth of the Chariot Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead thee to freedom.

[VII The Chariot]Talulah.

Affection with Qian Yi has greatly increased???

...

This trip to Ursus, although their assets were temporarily frozen at the end due to farming points and would be returned after verification, fortunately, the Heracles parts that had been distributed were considered a part of themselves, and the chat group had no ability to retrieve them. So every group member had gained a lot.

Most of the group didn't care much about money, because resources and power were the most important things. If worse came to worse, they could continue to torture the Black Snake Koschei later and make it spit out some more ducal assets.

Black Snake: Stop hitting me, bro. I'm really out of money?

After returning to her own world, Shoko said goodbye to Qian Yi. Because she had been very tired these past few days, the cleaning work would probably have to start tomorrow.

Listening to the familiar melody woven by the rumbling of the train and the clashing of the rails, as well as the occasional whispers of passengers, Shoko's mood couldn't help but relax. Her own world was still the best.

Peaceful, warm, and calm.

"Ah, this... did I forget to return it?"

When she took out her phone to scan the subway code after getting off the train, Shoko found a silver pistol lying in her bag. It was Qian Yi's Persona Evoker.

This pistol was too small, not as large as Jizo Mitama, and not convenient to carry, so it was easy to forget if one wasn't careful.

But she had already gotten off at her stop. It was too late to go back and return it to Qian Yi now. She could only send a message on LINE to apologize and tell him she had it. After receiving a smiling emoji from Qian Yi and him telling her it was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been a long time since she had been this happy. The last time she was this happy was in CRYCHIC.

But as the distance to her home shrank, her light steps and smile also faded.

She pushed open the door, and the pungent smell of alcohol hit her face, mixed with the smell of tobacco.

Under the dim yellow light, she quietly looked at the various wine bottles scattered on the floor, the pile of unfinished glasses, empty bottles, and the disheveled man lying next to those bottles. After a long pause, she finally managed to force a sound from her throat:

"I'm back, you useless old dad."
