At daybreak the next day, Miyauchi Hikage walked out of his room looking slightly weary.
Behind him was Tohru with a strange smile on her face.
If anyone saw this scene, they might misunderstand that the two of them did something shameful in the room yesterday.
Of course, strictly speaking, what they did was indeed shameful—a Sage holding the materialization device of the Second Magic and a Dragon Princess from another world bombarded each other in the Reality Marble closest to Magic in this world for a whole night.
No matter which matter got out, whether to the Outer World or the Inner World, it would obviously cause a huge sensation.
If the Mage's Association knew about this, even if the factions in the magic world were still divided, it wouldn't affect their temporary unity to issue a Sealing Designation notice to Miyauchi Hikage.
"Although you grow very fast, it's still too early to win against me." Tohru walking behind Miyauchi Hikage issued such a victory speech.
Obviously, after a night of fierce battle, the battle-hardened Tohru still achieved the final victory, and it wasn't a narrow victory at all.
Because Tohru was obviously still in full condition, while Miyauchi Hikage, although having sufficient magic power under the influence of the Jeweled Sword, was quite exhausted in terms of energy and stamina.
He should rest at home for a day today.
Besides that, although Miyauchi Hikage's room looked unchanged on the surface, only Miyauchi Hikage knew the truth.
His Unlimited Blade Works, under the indiscriminate bombardment of Tohru who transformed into her dragon form while he fired at full power and even swiped a projected Jeweled Sword, was now devastated and in a mess inside.
If it weren't for the support of infinite magic power, the Unlimited Blade Works world would probably have collapsed due to overload within the first hour of fighting.
This was also the first time Miyauchi Hikage faced a serious Tohru after obtaining Unlimited Blade Works.
It was also the first time Unlimited Blade Works welcomed a bombardment between Rules and Will.
Although Tohru didn't master skills like Domain Expansion or Reality Marble, she originally mastered more intuitive power of Rules.
And it was the Power of End inherited from her father, the Emperor of Demise.
Sounds quite impressive.
And when facing Domains and Reality Marbles, she just needed to expand her power of Rules to complete the suppression of Domains and the erosion of Reality Marbles.
In last night's battle, first Miyauchi Hikage challenged Tohru with the Jeweled Sword, and as always, suppressed Tohru with firepower advantage in the first few minutes of the opening.
But when Miyauchi Hikage planned to use a ten-consecutive Broken Phantasm as a welcome gift for Tohru's return, Tohru couldn't help but start putting pressure on Miyauchi Hikage.
The power of Rules that hadn't been used before was brought out.
The gear-filled sky in Unlimited Blade Works was instantly torn open by Tohru's Power of End, bringing a burst of dead and heavy pressure.
This was the manifestation of the Power of End, the power to end everything.
Even though Tohru was far inferior to her father in this aspect, she still once eroded nearly forty percent of Unlimited Blade Works using her Power of End. It was only later that Miyauchi Hikage, relying on his control over his own world, strengthened the defense of Unlimited Blade Works to resist the opponent's erosion.
In the end, when Miyauchi Hikage's stamina and energy began to fail to keep up with Tohru, nearly twenty percent of the area of Unlimited Blade Works was eroded by Tohru.
However, although Miyauchi Hikage lost, his face was not very depressed.
Losing to Tohru was normal.
The opponent was an existence above special-grade, and had lived for tens of thousands of years. Both her knowledge and combat experience were far above his.
And now he could stalemate with the opponent for so long, and the opponent's power of Rules had also been used, although it was still far from forcing out the opponent's limit.
But this could probably be seen as the opponent finally revealing a health bar in front of him, although there might still be a long time before emptying the opponent's health bar.
Maybe the opponent even had another brand new health bar behind this one.
But at least it wouldn't be like the God of Destruction in Dragon Ball Super. From the first time Son Goku turned into Super Saiyan God, he kept saying that Son Goku's new forms could compare with him. In the end, from Super Saiyan God Red to Blue, then to Ultra Instinct, maybe even Vegetto and Gogeta after fusion wouldn't be enough in front of the God of Destruction.
As long as he waited for his mastery of Rules to catch up in the future, and then further improved his stats, defeating Tohru was only a matter of time.
However, Miyauchi Hikage naturally couldn't admit defeat verbally: "Just wait. In two days, I'm going to expand my arsenal. When I come back, what you have to face in Unlimited Blade Works won't be those small gadgets from Jujutsu High."
Hearing that Miyauchi Hikage was going to update his arsenal, Tohru also suddenly became interested.
"Whose arsenal are you planning to move this time?"
"Don't say it so ugly; it's just learning from it."
"And this time I'm looking for the original owner of Unlimited Blade Works. What I obtained is just an empty world; the things inside are all tossed about by myself."
"But that guy relies on working black jobs in different parallel space-times. There are many good things in his world. If I can transport all those things over, my Unlimited Blade Works can be considered complete."
Tohru frowned. She hadn't asked Miyauchi Hikage how he obtained these powers. This was the first time Miyauchi Hikage explained these things to her.
In other words, did that mysterious existence copy others' abilities and then transfer them to Miyauchi Hikage?
So her eyes looking at Miyauchi Hikage became even stranger.
Miyauchi Hikage meant that the original owner of Unlimited Blade Works would shuttle through different space-times to do dirty work for people due to some reasons, so he also projected many weapons in various space-times and put them in his own Unlimited Blade Works.
And now Miyauchi Hikage was going to find the other party again to steal the weapons the other party stole.
Why did it feel like neither Miyauchi Hikage nor the original owner of Unlimited Blade Works did anything humane?
Miyauchi Hikage disapproved of this.
Fighting oneself and learning from oneself had always been a classic operation of the Fate series. Almost every Emiya Shirou in every timeline learned his first serious projection by stealing from Archer.
In this world, Archer wouldn't appear; only Class Cards carrying his power appeared. Miyauchi Hikage had no psychological burden.
And after Archer's Blade Works was stolen clean by him, there was still the Gate of Babylon waiting for him to move later.
"If you want to see it, I can take you there for a tour then, to show you how chaotic our world is. Anyway, using teleportation only takes a few minutes."
Miyauchi Hikage's current mobility was quite good.
A single teleportation controllable range exceeded thirty kilometers, and the limit distance could exceed fifty kilometers.
Going to Fuyuki City or Morioh Town four or five hundred kilometers away, as long as the route was planned in advance, teleporting once every five seconds to half a minute would indeed only take a few minutes.
It could even be said that Miyauchi Hikage could transfer to most places in the world through teleportation within an hour.
However, using teleportation four or five hundred times at once, even with infinite magic power, his spirit would probably be unable to bear it first.
Of course, he couldn't compare with Tohru who could complete magic circles across worlds independently. But Tohru herself didn't like using teleportation magic much and preferred to travel by flying in her true form.
Listening to Miyauchi Hikage's words, Tohru also nodded: "The supernatural forces in your world are indeed a bit too chaotic."
"I've lived here for less than a month, and sometimes I still feel it's quite outrageous."
Even a small Japan gathered so many messy forces, and coincidentally many supernatural forces had been passed down from thousands of years ago.
Studying carefully, there seemed to be many contradictions between the inheritances of these forces, and even within the texts handed down by themselves.
And these records had many discrepancies with what Tohru personally learned when she occasionally ran over to meet Lucoa, who was educating people in the Americas at that time, when the two worlds were still connected thousands of years ago.
Miyauchi Hikage's guess about this was that their world was equivalent to a garbage recycling station, fusing some parallel space-times popping up from nowhere from time to time, and possibly causing changes in the world's timeline.
For Tohru, Lucoa was Quetzalcoatl, the god of American civilization. She had witnessed this with her own eyes.
But for Miyauchi Hikage, Quetzalcoatl in the Throne of Heroes should be based on the Type-Moon setting.
Even the two of them couldn't say clearly who invaded whom, nor what this world looked like at the earliest.
However, this question didn't matter after Miyauchi Hikage knew about the Deviluke Empire.
This galaxy and even the entire universe had problems. Earth was just the core area of this problem.
Even if the Trisolaran fleet popped up one day, Miyauchi Hikage wouldn't be surprised.
And Miyauchi Hikage also exchanged these things as intelligence to Tohru last night.
So Tohru's expression at this time was so hard to evaluate.
"But let's not consider these things for the time being. You should introduce Kanna to everyone first."
Miyauchi Hikage had already helped Kanna obtain an identity in this world last night. He just needed to retrieve the corresponding documents in a few days.
Unlike Tohru whose adult dragon organs could absorb magic power from the atmosphere relatively freely, Kanna, who was still in her infancy, had not adapted to the Mana of this world yet and could not completely convert the magic power in the atmosphere autonomously.
So to maintain transformation magic, the current Kanna not only had to eat like normal humans, but sleep was also an indispensable part. Besides that, she also needed to recover energy through charging.
So Kanna couldn't persist until the end of the great battle between Miyauchi Hikage and Tohru last night.
Fortunately, the charging process was only used to assist and accelerate the efficiency of magic power conversion. It wasn't that Kanna had to rely on charging to recover all her energy. The electricity consumption was probably at the level of normal household appliances and wouldn't make the electric meter in Miyauchi Hikage's house jump at light speed.
Otherwise, if Kanna was really allowed to eat freely, even building a nuclear power plant might not be enough for Kanna to eat alone.
Because when picking up Tohru last night, Miyauchi Hikage had already sent a text message to Shiina Mahiru in advance, indicating that Tohru had returned.
Therefore, when Miyauchi Hikage and Tohru walked downstairs, Shiina Mahiru was already preparing breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, and it was a super large breakfast specially customized for Tohru.
It was just different from before. Kanna, who started getting sleepy as soon as she arrived in this world last night, had gotten up now and was looking eagerly at the rice cooker still stewing soup, seeming very interested in the smell of the food inside.
Unlike Tohru who had lived in the human world for thousands of years.
Even if Tohru was surprised by those convenient cooking seasonings when she first arrived in this world, Tohru, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, had seen the world. Otherwise, she couldn't have become a perfect maid immediately after knowing Kobayashi.
In terms of cooking level, Tohru was actually better than the current Shiina Mahiru, just that she was better at handling the flesh and blood of those magical beasts.
And as a young dragon, Kanna had grown up with her parents, including in terms of food. Her understanding of humans came almost entirely from Tohru's description. Before this, she really hadn't eaten much human food.
Plus Kanna's race belonged to the kind with quite strong curiosity and desire. Under the circumstance that she was not an adult yet, this desire was naturally manifested in appetite.
After smelling the aroma from the kitchen in the morning, she ran to the kitchen in a daze and began to wait for today's breakfast.
Indeed, not many people could resist the charm of a cute little girl like Kanna. Plus Shiina Mahiru hadn't seen Renge, only roughly knowing that Miyauchi Hikage seemed to have a younger sister still in elementary school.
Therefore, when seeing Kanna, Shiina Mahiru subconsciously regarded the other party as Miyauchi Hikage's sister, Miyauchi Renge.
And Kanna also remembered the arrangement of his identity last night. Facing Shiina Mahiru's inquiry, she just nodded constantly, while thinking about food wholeheartedly, completely unaware that the other party called her by the wrong name.
So much so that when Miyauchi Hikage introduced Kanna to Shiina Mahiru, she realized that she had called Renge's name wrong so many times.
"She doesn't care about these things. If you really feel sorry for her, then prepare a portion for her according to Tohru's appetite in the future."
