After detailing all the specifics of the missing girls' case to Neuvillette, the two girls returned to the bedroom.
Focalors was quite interested in the decorations here, so Furina pulled her hand and introduced all sorts of things, even sharing the exquisite clothes in her wardrobe.
More importantly, she picked out a beautiful pair of shoes for her.
Originally, Focalors was barefoot. Furina had picked out a pair of shoes and socks for her to wear on the street, and now it was time for a proper outfit.
Soon, Focalors appeared in front of the mirror in various outfits and poses.
Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension wasn't interested in any of this, he just summoned the system panel.
"System, are you there? Say something."
He waited quietly for a moment, but there was no sound.
"Tsk..."
Momoshiki frowned slightly, habitually tapping the screen. Besides the tapping sound, there was nothing else.
"Why do I occasionally feel a sense of indifference? Is it being influenced by Momoshiki's memories and personality?"
The system didn't reply, playing dead.
"Don't play dead!"
...
After waiting for a long time, there were no changes except for the attribute panel.
Momoshiki sighed helplessly, waved his hand to dismiss the system panel, and lay back in the pile of books, resigned.
To be honest, it was impossible not to worry.
His memories were getting more and more numerous. Just now, he recalled some old memories of Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
These memories were constantly eroding his normal human memories from Earth, gradually taking a dominant position, leading to a slight change in his personality.
If this continued, would he be human or Otsutsuki?
Headache...
But being an Otsutsuki was also quite good, much freer than being human.
...
The sky gradually darkened. The two girls in the bedroom, after showering, sat on the bed, chatting about something.
The Karma on Furina's right palm remained unchanged, proving that Momoshiki was completely uninterested in their conversation.
"Crunch!"
He bit a melon seed, then crushed the shell into powder and casually scattered it.
Momoshiki munched on melon seeds in silence.
His strength was growing stronger and stronger. Although he hadn't revived yet, he was gradually losing his humanity, preparing for his future godhood.
But if he lost his humanity, what was the point of becoming a god? To be a boring idiot between the ten dimensions?
That wasn't a good choice.
After all, no one wanted to inexplicably become a fixed string of code forever to maintain a computer's operation.
The ten dimensions, billions of universes, were like that computer.
He couldn't even go to the bathroom comfortably. Even Nahida would shake her head at this kind of life.
Only with freedom could there be fun, and only then could life be more comfortable.
Although he didn't know how to maintain his conscious thoughts, losing his human identity didn't matter, but he had to at least ensure that his personality wasn't affected.
...
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Momoshiki realized it was quiet, and curiously used Furina's eyes to check the outside world.
It turned out that Furina and Focalors had turned off the lights and gone to sleep.
The two were facing each other, a faint smile on their lips, as if they were having a beautiful dream. He wondered if they were connected online.
After an unknown amount of time, a hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the morning sun shone through the window.
Momoshiki, who was eating round snacks and reading novels in the pile of books, felt the light, put down his book, and looked out curiously.
He wondered where the light came from. It turned out Furina had forgotten to draw the curtains.
Not long after, Focalors on the left woke up first, rubbing her slightly sleepy eyes, and yawned comfortably.
"Good morning... Momoshiki."
Greeting him, Focalors gently got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash her face.
Feeling the water flowing between her fingers from the faucet, an inexplicable sense of unreality rose in her heart.
But the coolness was undeniably real.
Furina on the bed turned over, habitually reaching out her hand, but felt nothing.
She frowned slightly, seeming to have had a nightmare, and successfully scared herself awake two minutes later.
[What's wrong with you?]
Furina didn't reply, but first froze for a moment, then immediately looked at the empty spot beside her.
Not seeing Focalors, she was startled again.
Just as she thought Focalors was just a dream, the bathroom door opened.
Focalors, wearing cute pajamas, came out full of energy, stretching lazily.
[Did you think yesterday's events were a dream?]
"Uh..."
Furina scratched the back of her head awkwardly, much of her sleepiness gone.
She threw off the covers, put on her shoes, got out of bed, gave Focalors a hug, and then ran into the bathroom covering her face, leaving Focalors with a face full of question marks.
What was wrong?
Although she was very curious, Focalors didn't ask anything, just savored the hug she had just received.
In the bathroom, after Furina finished washing up, she rested her hands on the sink, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
[Feeling emo?]
"As expected of me, Fontaine's most famous superstar, this beauty deserves to charm so many people!"
Furina narcissistically struck a pose she thought was dashing, admiring herself in the mirror.
[I shouldn't have asked...]
Momoshiki reached out, grabbed a fried onion ring, put it in his mouth, rolled over in the pile of books, and continued reading his novel.
After styling her hair, Furina asked in her heart, "Momoshiki, do you want anything to eat this morning?"
[Oh, someone's conscience is finally kicking in?]
"Hehe~"
Furina smiled awkwardly, still a little embarrassed about yesterday.
[Until that pastry chef comes back, I don't want anything to eat.]
...
The morning in the Palais Mermonia was undoubtedly prime time, especially in the back garden, where the vitality and morning dew were refreshing.
Focalors felt the breeze on her cheek, put a small piece of cake into her mouth, and enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth sensation.
It was dense and soft, making her deeply addicted.
Furina ate cake while happily sharing various delicious flavors of cake with her.
"Especially milk chocolate. If there's a condensed milk filling in the center, it can not only alleviate the bitterness but also add many different kinds of sweetness. Don't you agree, Momoshiki?"
"Yeah."
Tsundere Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension tasted the milk-filled chocolate while indifferently giving a perfunctory reply.
But although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in an uproar.
What was this?! This was too delicious!!
Handmade, no machines, no additives, completely the beauty of nature.
If this were in the real world, wouldn't it be plated, smeared with a spoonful of chocolate sauce, and topped with a sprig of herb, then sold for hundreds of thousands of yen!
After tasting a dessert, Clorinde, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, also came over. She didn't know what had happened, but her expression seemed to carry a hint of loss.
Not long after, she was called away by a Melusine to perform her guard duties. It seemed there was something about the series of missing girls cases that needed her attention.
As the two girls were about to continue shopping, Momoshiki, who was lying flat and slacking off, suddenly felt a flow of chakra energy.
The Flying Thunder God mark had been activated!!
[Cough cough!]
He coughed lightly, interrupting the two who were talking.
"What's wrong, Momoshiki?"
Furina asked with some confusion.
[Remember that Flying Thunder God Kunai we gave the Astral Express last time? The mark on it has been activated.]
"Huh?!"
Recalling their time on the train, Furina understood something.
"Is the train crew in danger?"
[Not sure, but probably. According to our agreement, let's go take a look.]
"What are you two talking about?" Focalors asked curiously.
Although she didn't understand, according to their words, it seemed that a friend was in danger, right?
"Some of my friends are in danger and need our help," Furina replied with a somewhat solemn expression.
She still remembered how terrifying those bad guys who could travel through space were.
Countless battleships fired endless laser energy, overwhelming them, the pressure was extremely strong.
Although Momoshiki easily beat them until not even a speck of dust remained, that was Momoshiki after all. It should be very difficult for ordinary people to deal with them.
"That's really the case, then I'll help too," Focalors volunteered, putting her right hand on her chest.
This body, after all, was condensed from stellar energy. Even without divine power, it was still terrifyingly strong, even far exceeding her peak period.
Although she had no combat experience, she still had to try to accumulate it little by little, constantly making herself stronger.
[Okay, just don't drag us down.]
"Don't worry," Focalors smiled gently.
Momoshiki calmly opened a portal, and the two girls walked through, arriving in front of the familiar Divine Tree.
The Ten-Tails seemed to sense the aura before a battle, and stretched out its head, wanting to follow, but was pushed back with a slap.
Then, according to the direction of the mark, he opened Yomotsu Hirasaka, and after coming through, he saw a familiar scene.
Good, familiar recipe, familiar taste.
A high-tech space station in space, filled with explosions and gunfire, and densely packed Voidrangers and other monsters.
"Uh... what happened?!"
Focalors and Furina were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.
There were monster corpses or security personnel corpses everywhere, as well as traces of destruction, and shouts of killing occasionally came.
Was this a war?!
Momoshiki estimated the time, and without further ado, directly possessed her, easily finding the train's location through his Byakugan.
Then he opened another portal, taking Focalors to the open-air platform.
At this time, Himeko nervously looked at the kunai in her hand, constantly praying for him to arrive quickly.
The train was originally stopped well, and they could leave after resupplying, but they didn't expect the Antimatter Legion to suddenly attack.
The Antimatter Legion was one thing, but then they suddenly detected the energy fluctuations of a Doomsday Beast slowly approaching.
Although it was extremely tricky, it wasn't impossible to deal with.
But this thing was like a Russian nesting doll. A projection of a Lord Ravager was actually following behind the Doomsday Beast!
Data analysis showed it was like Phantylia, with a similarity of up to 70%.
Although it was just a projection, it was clearly not something the Herta Space Station could handle now.
So hope could only be placed on Momoshiki.
