Chapter 9: Sun’s Rays Reflected on the Sea, Part 3
“Xiao An…
“It’s just my guess, you know.”
“Shut up!”
You’re still joking with me at a time like this!
Xiao An… You’re still joking with me at a time like this. How should I explain… I’m still in this state…
“But I have a feeling…”
“The fact that there’s ‘no change’ is the most strange thing… You’ve discovered the secret to not aging, haven’t you?”
Xiao An really doesn’t find anything difficult, does she? Daddy, aren’t you…
“Even for humans, eternal life…”
“…Its essence is not that of an anomaly.”
“I can’t believe you know that. The truth is, eternal life is the only one that seems like a ‘special state’.”
“If everyone’s lifespan were extended, no one would find it strange. The average lifespan has already exceeded…”
“If all living beings…”
“…The average lifespan is only about twenty years. Mind you,”
“…million years ago, humans were…”
“…Conversion, for example, quantization of brain information. Preservation…”
“…eighty, and it will continue to…”
“There are many methods, just like humans’ own special abilities.”
“It’s just that the human ability to break through the limitations of lifespan… the scope that humans can reach…”
“…These are all within…”
“If it can be broken through, how can it be limited by the physical body?”
“There are all sorts of possibilities.”
“Humans are amazing.”
“The birth of an immortal now is an abnormality that the world allows.”
“Stable connection, that is, even the world itself is subject to rules.”
“Constraint.”
“Only I am not bound by the laws of the world.”
“Then it’s probably not fake…”
“And Xiao An wouldn’t lie to me.”
“Since she admitted to being an immortal,”
“Why would the world allow other immortals besides me?”
“Is it because Xiao An is my fated witch?”
“You’ve only gained special abilities.”
“Becoming immortal is impossible.”
“Including SF Light Novels.”
“Was Xiao An… a god before?”
“That’s the only possibility.”
“I see, that’s why Xiao An made that conclusion earlier.”
“Xiao An, this island… doesn’t exist? Is that right?”
“You’ve gotten much smarter, Daddy.”
“I was smart all along, okay?”
“…The ruins of which have yet to be found.”
“Yamatai Kingdom has long since disappeared. It’s not an independent world like the ‘inner world’. It itself…”
“Yes, this island is ‘hidden’. So it can’t be found on the map.”
“But it’s only hidden by special means… personnel get particularly excited.”
“No wonder the islanders were so excited to see Li Nai and me.”
“Because they probably didn’t see any island at all from the cockpit.”
“The ‘land of no return’, ah~ Although the reason… back when I was a god…”
“It’s no wonder it can’t be found on the map. This feeling is quite nostalgic. It’s been a long time.”
“I am the queen of this island, and the islanders worship me.”
“But it seems this island was originally hidden. It’s here.”
“Although I don’t know what method was used.”
“Perhaps only those with the ability of an aquatic creature like Xiao An can enter this island.”
“And I, not being bound by rules…”
“…Forget it. It doesn’t matter.”
“Then, the important question now is… I’m not sure if Xiao An will agree.”
“That is, does Xiao An want to… You’ve always been more motivated than this.”
“Heh, I’ve already decided…”
“… I smiled bitterly and said nothing.”
“You’ve seen through my thought of ‘Please leave me alone’.”
“Xiao An frowned unhappily.”
“Are you comfortable living in the mirror?”
“This island… Xiao An stated frankly…”
“She secretly glanced at my face, paying attention to my expression.”
“What she said to me meant something… she awakened me.”
“I know she liked living in the mirror, but in the end, I forced her out of the mirror world. It’s not a big deal compared to this.”
“Do you think I want to stay in this godforsaken place?”
“When I’m angry…”
“Xiao An likes it so much that she wants to be with me? It’s my fault for keeping you.”
“Xiao An, the home-loving shut-in god, if someone serves you, you won’t bother to move.”
“It’s truly touching that you’d rather abandon a comfortable environment and…”
“Don’t even talk about computers and game consoles, there’s no TV!”
“It’s super boring here!”
“So that’s why…”
“You’re staying here just because you’re bored! Ugh!”
“It’s because you’re bored!”
“Ahhhhh! So boring! So boring! So boring! I want to…”
“Speaking of which, Xiao An suddenly jumped up. “If you don’t delete my save file, I’ll bite you to death!”
“I rolled my eyes and threw away the感动 I felt just now.” “I don’t live at home anymore. If you go to Xinran’s place…”
“Bah!”
“Originally, they weren’t particularly interested in games. They looked like they’d lost their souls, clutching their heads and retreating…”
“Xiao An was struck by lightning.”
“Her hair stood on end, and she sat on the bed.”
“Her expression was as if she had seen the end of the world… and the world’s fastest completion record!”
“Wh-what about my record… my trophy?”
“It’s probably gone.”
“…She looked like a broken statue.”
“Xiao An had turned into a gray and white statue.”
“…She let out a yell exceeding one hundred decibels.”
“Aaaahhh!”
“Damn it, my ears are going deaf!”
“Light Novel.”
“SF Light Novel.”
“You’re going to shatter my eardrums!”
“Ahhh… This destructive power!”
“Those game records mean that much to you? I’m her father now.”
“It’s just like… I woke up Li Nai, who was dozing off in the ancient Egyptian era.”
“This destructive power is definitely… Is it an earthquake? Is it a volcanic eruption? The security personnel immediately freed me from my actions and…”
“Wow! What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” The beautiful lady guards, who had suppressed me with their spiritual power, also recovered.
“My spiritual power was affected,”
“They raised their guns and aimed them at me again.”
“Just in time, Xiao An…”
“After regaining her senses, she grabbed my head with a bright, sunny expression.”
“She lowered her head, muttering and acting spoiled.”
“Then she hugged me directly.”
“Daddy ~ Hurry up and… Are you my daughter? I don’t remember having a daughter like you!”
“Have some self-respect! I’m going to explode!”
“The leader said angrily.”
“How could you end up on this island with those idiots?”
“Xiao An saw that acting spoiled wasn’t working. “Daddy, aren’t you looking for me?”
“I’m really not looking for you…”
“My body stiffened.”
“So… you’re not specifically looking for me?”
“Her nose was running, and her eyes were teary, as if she was about to win the lottery.”
“Xiao An said with her mouth…”
“Don’t cry! I’ll find my little treasure for you!”
“Explain why you came here clearly!”
“…Where should I start explaining?”
“Confused, I felt like I didn’t understand what had happened.”
“I scratched my head and hugged my… book, unable to organize my thoughts for a moment.”
“…I’m actually confused too…”
“…I was stranded on a deserted island and reunited with Xiao An.”
“Suddenly I was taken out,”
“Then I suddenly got on a plane, and then…”
“I was traveling.”
“Just a few hours ago, I thought this would just be a small trip.”
“What kind of ridiculous plot is this? I’ve already figured everything out.”
“… He explained it simply. Xiao An nodded frequently.”
“Finally, she slapped her thigh and said, ‘I see!'”
“In other words, from now on, it will become a harem system?”
“What a brilliant summary.”
“Changing just one word…”
“…Changes its core completely.”
“Isn’t it just changing from a harem to a harem drama?”
“Hehehe…”
“Then, Xiao An couldn’t hide the smile in the corners of her eyes.”
“What are you laughing at?”
“The title of first wife, the competition for the main consort?”
“How is that interesting? Why would so many people watch it?”
“If it weren’t interesting, why would harem dramas have so much scheming and betrayal?”
“Women have a lot of viewers, and they watch it… maybe their minds are structured differently.”
“It’s already started, Daddy, you still don’t understand women.”
“Xiao An suddenly said something to the surrounding guards. Judging by her tone, it sounded like she was ordering them to capture me.”
“I instinctively judged from her tone.”
“I don’t even know if I’ll be suppressed by a group of women.”
“After struggling, I was still… When they let go and made way, a surge of spiritual power suddenly emerged.”
“Just as I was about to use my spiritual power to deter them,”
“It was Xiao An’s spiritual power.”
“Her pants were level with my eyes.”
“She squatted down in front of me.”
“Won’t you participate?”
“Such an interesting…”
“Let me go!”
“What are you saying? Don’t you know what this means?”
“This is my territory, you know.”
“You know?”
“Just like this, inexplicably…”
“…My daughter declared a father-daughter marriage.”
