Lynn crossed his arms and smirked without saying a word.
Nanako's ahoge suddenly sprang up with a "pop" sound.
She secretly glanced at Lynn.
Her disciple seemed to... have many thoughts again...
Indeed, this time her disciple had taken the initiative to follow along, clearly showing that he was also very concerned about the mysterious source that appeared here.
It seems that to break the curse here, she would need to start with her disciple!
...
Several hours later.
In the hotel.
Nanako, who had returned to her original form, quickly locked the door and swiftly lay down on the bed, covering herself with the blanket.
"If I ask my disciple directly, he'll definitely become suspicious."
Nanako's mind raced as she seriously contemplated:
"Then to find a way to solve the curse from my disciple, I can only approach through his other persona!"
That's right!
Nanako immediately thought of her disciple's Ice Snow Sovereign form.
Since she couldn't ask her disciple directly...
Why not just ask the Ice Snow Sovereign that her disciple transforms into?
After all, nominally, that's also her teacher!
With that thought...
Nanako closed her eyes, trying hard to clear her mind and enter a meditative state.
Then she recited in her heart:
"Great Ice Snow Sovereign, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling... seeking your mighty protection and mercy!"
Indeed.
After she left last time, the Ice Snow Sovereign had given her a method to enter the ice snow realm.
And that was to praise that great being in her heart!!
But every time she had to recite these chuunibyou lines, Nanako had to wage a long internal battle.
Because each time, she would think of her disciple's mischievous, playful smile.
And then the lines would become very strange.
"Great disciple, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling, seeking your mighty protection and mercy!"
(▼ヘ▼#)
It really took a long psychological struggle every time to recite it!
Ah well!!
...
Meanwhile.
In another room.
Lynn, who was slouching in his chair, suddenly paused as he heard his loli master's devout call in his mind.
"Great Ice Snow Sovereign, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling..."
Hahahahaha!
(≖ᴗ≖)✧
Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed.
When his loli master encountered something she couldn't solve, she had already gotten used to going to the ice snow realm to find her teacher!
Now that's being obedient!
After all, having such a powerful senior as your backup, of course you should make proper use of it.
He really couldn't wait to see the expression on his loli master's face when he finally revealed everything!
Lynn's lips curled into a smile.
His body instantly vanished from the spot and appeared in the ice snow palace.
Howling winds and swirling snow surrounded him.
Lynn immediately transformed into the Ice Snow Goddess, sitting high upon the throne with a slight smile.
He snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap—
Nanako, who was in her meditative state, was instantly transported into this ice snow realm.
Her petite body gradually materialized.
Before Nanako could open her eyes, that grand and elegant voice reached her ears.
"Long time no see, Nanako. It seems your power has grown considerably."
The voice was ethereal and distant.
Nanako opened her eyes.
She immediately saw the dignified and elegant goddess sitting on the throne.
Wearing a gentle smile, soft and divine, looking absolutely sacred from every angle.
If she hadn't known this was her disciple's persona,
Nanako would have almost been fooled by this image again!
Stay calm.
Stay calm.
You can do this, Nanako.
Nanako took a deep breath, then looked up reverently, her eyes full of admiration:
"Master, Nanako has been studying very hard, striving to inherit your legacy, Master. Nanako won't disappoint you."
[Hahaha! You little rascal, now it's your turn!]
[Rise, rise, no need for formalities. It's the thought that counts. Hearing you say this makes your master very pleased!]
Nanako gritted her teeth.
Even the way of self-reference had changed!
Lynn maintained that dignified smile and slowly stood up, saying:
"Nanako, if master's guess is correct, you must have encountered some troubles in the real world, right? Is it about the mysterious source?"
What else could it be!
What else could it possibly be?!!
Looking at the profound expression on this goddess's face, Nanako was about to lose it.
Disciple, you're right beside me, how could you not know?
But although she thought this way inside, she couldn't show it on the outside.
Nanako's eyes widened in shock: "Master, you... you know everything?"
[Of course I know, because I'm right beside you, I'm that beloved disciple of yours →_→]
[No! Must stay serious, must appear more profound, need to deepen loli master's admiration even more!]
Nanako: "???!!!"
Lynn, maintaining the goddess's dignified smile, said: "Because I see into your heart, Nanako. You encountered something unusual in Lakeside Town, your companions were affected by the mysterious source, and you want to help them return to normal. This worries you, so you came seeking your teacher's help."
"Am I correct, child?"
The voice was so gentle, like a soft evening breeze.
Combined with that ethereal image, it truly created an indescribably mysterious and powerful presence.
Like an omniscient deity who understood everything in the world...
Nanako forcefully suppressed her urge to break character and said in shock:
"Y-yes... truly nothing escapes Master's eyes..."
[Of course! Of course! After all, I am your master, the great and omniscient Ice Snow Sovereign! Hahaha *hiccup*!]
[Let me think, if I speak now, it would lower my prestige~]
[So what I should display now is... hmm...]
Then.
Lynn, in his Ice Snow Sovereign form, showed a profound smile, that wise and serene expression suggesting everything was understood without words.
[Let me turn up the special effects a bit~]
Instantly, the faint ice snow halo behind Lynn became even more dazzling and brilliant.
It made the goddess's aura even more elevated.
Seeing this, Nanako was dumbfounded.
This... this...
You stupid disciple, please don't go too far!
Nanako was barely managing to keep from breaking character, don't push your master to the limit!
"Child." The voice was gentle and ethereal: "Whatever troubles you, speak them. Your master will always be the mighty sovereign standing behind you."
[That's right, that's right, your disciple will always be the unattainable man standing behind you~ (wistfully) (wistfully)]
Nanako was stunned.
This... this...
Please...
My dear disciple...
I know you want to maintain this profound image in front of your master...
But please speak in a slightly more normal tone, master really can't hold it together anymore...
If you didn't have so many atmosphere-breaking thoughts, everything would be fine!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
