Rubik's Cube World

"Dododododo..."

Japan, in the suburbs of Tokyo, in a certain villa, Athena, who was dressed at home, was absent-mindedly chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

However, at this moment, Athena suddenly fell into a trance and dropped the kitchen knife on her finger.But fortunately, the stinging pain when the kitchen knife cut through the skin brought her back to her senses, and she stopped the chopping movement with strong body control, so that no tragedy happened to her fingers.

"Huh." Athena, who pulled out the injured finger, let out a soft cry, put down the kitchen knife, and pointed the palm of her right hand at the injured finger.

In the next second, a ball of light appeared in Athena's palm, wrapping around the injured finger, causing the slender wound on the finger to shrink and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, until finally no trace was visible.

Then Athena walked to the side of the sink, turned on the faucet to wash off the blood on her hands, and then returned to the counter, and continued to get and cut vegetables.

"Dododododo..."

A rhythmic light sound came from the kitchen.

"Athena."

But before she lasted long, an old voice suddenly rang in her ear, interrupting her work again.

"Yes, master." Athena quickly agreed after putting down the kitchen knife.Then he turned and walked out of the kitchen, into the living room.

In the spacious living room, Zhen Yuanzhai, who looked somewhat sloppy, was sitting on the sofa with a relaxed attitude, watching the Beijing opera video tape being played on TV.

"Master." Athena who walked to Zhenyuanzhai called softly.

"Sit." Zhen Yuanzhai said lightly.

Athena blinked her eyes in doubt, and sat down according to her words.

"Do you have something on your mind recently?" Zhen Yuanzhai looked away from the TV.Turning his head, he looked at Athena and said.

Athena's expression changed slightly, and she said unnaturally, "No, no."

"Really?" Zhen Yuanzhai asked noncommittally.

"..." Athena remained silent.

Zhen Yuanzhai didn't say anything else, and turned around to continue watching Peking Opera.

For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the correct Peking Opera voice coming from the TV.

"Master..." After a while, Athena with a hesitant expression broke the silence in the room, and said softly, "I may have some things to do recently, and I can't come back every day. About cooking..."

"Don't worry. You won't be able to eat delicious meals for a few days. Your master will starve to death." Zhen Yuanzhai said in a joking tone.

"Hehe." Athena chuckled softly.

"However, we have three chapters of the agreement. While I'm not at home, master, you still can't drink secretly." Then, Athena took on the posture of a housekeeper and said to Zhen Yuanzhai.

"Got it." Zhen Yuanzhai said impatiently.It seems that he didn't take Athena's words to heart.

"Hmph. If I find that there is less wine in the basement when I come back, master, don't expect to get pocket money from me in the future." Athena, who knew her master's character completely, snorted softly and announced with a serious face. road.

"Eh..." Zhen Yuanzhai was stunned, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I see. I promise not to steal alcohol."

Speaking of which, Zhen Yuan Zhai is also very speechless. Although it cannot be said that he has no income at all, considering his income, it is not enough for him to buy wine and drink. After all, this old guy is a pure A drunkard, and a drunkard with a very good taste, with the supply of Athena who has money, he can say that he does not drink good wine!

In addition, he is now in Japan, not his territory China, so even if he goes out to brush his face and drink alcohol, he has nowhere to go, so he has to succumb to the majesty of Athena.

"Then it's settled. Those who repent will have to swallow a thousand needles." Athena said.

"You girl, you are really wordy." Zhen Yuanzhai said helplessly.

"Then I'm going to cook."

After finishing speaking, Athena stood up, walked around the sofa, returned to the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife, and continued to chop the vegetables on the cutting board.

"Chop chop chop chop..."

The rhythmic muffled sound sounded again.

"Huh." But in the dark, Athena secretly let out a foul breath and relaxed.

"This girl." Zhen Yuanzhai, who watched Athena go away, shook his head slightly and sighed.

Obviously, with what he has mastered, he is similar to the Buddha's mind, and he can peep into the minds of others in an instant. Under the power of the universe, there is nowhere for Athena's small thoughts, which are like using spiritual power to shield her thoughts. Hidden, she was seen through by Zhen Yuanzhai, who cared about her apprentice almost when she behaved abnormally. It was only because she wanted to let the apprentice decide the future relationship by herself that she didn't make some things clear.

After all, he considers himself to be quite enlightened, and will not arrange the future of his apprentices like the head of a family like the gang of old antiques in the past, deciding every choice they make!

"Ito Naruto... I hope you have no other purpose, otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will kill you and remove a big trouble for this world!" Zhen Yuanzhai, who seemed to be staring at the TV screen He said coldly in his heart.

……

A day later, Athena appeared in Ito Cheng's office again.

"Success, I have already asked for leave with the master, and I can practice with you." Athena, who was still wearing a blue and white sailor suit and lined with safety pants, looked happily at Ito Cheng who was sitting behind the desk. Said.

"Really? Well, let's go now." Ito Cheng then turned off the computer, got up and said.

"Yes." Athena replied.

Afterwards, Ito Cheng called Athena's agent, Asami Nakajima, and the person in charge of the agent's department to arrange some things, then took Athena out of the office, went straight to the parking lot under the building, and found himself The seat frame sat in.

Then he started the car and drove away.

"Where are we going?" Athena, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously.

"Go to Nachi." Ito Cheng replied.

"Oh." Although I went there to do something, Athena, who believed that Ito Cheng always had a purpose, didn't ask any more questions, and became quiet.

"By the way, how do you feel about the new songs in the new album?" Seeing Athena's silence, Ito Cheng casually found a topic and said.

"It's great, every capital is so nice. I really didn't realize that you are like Mr. Yagami. Apart from being an excellent fighter, you are also such a powerful music producer. It is really admirable. "Speaking of the song, Athena, who opened the conversation, turned her head to look at Cheng Ito, who was driving, with excitement and admiration on her face, and praised unabashedly.

"It's fine if you like it." Ito Cheng said with a smile, "I was afraid that you wouldn't like the music I provided you."

"How come?" Athena shook her head vigorously and denied, "However, in the future, can you teach me how to compose music and write lyrics? I also want to sing my own songs like you and Mr. Yagami."

"Of course." Ito Cheng agreed very simply.

"Thank you." Athena thanked.

Then the two chatted about music, and it was not until more than ten minutes later that the car arrived at the train station that it stopped.

Nachi is a place located in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. Its full name is Nachi Katsuura Town. It is a part of Nachi Mountain, which is backed by Nachi Mountain. It belongs to the Yoshino Kumano National Park, where the most famous place is the "Ichi no Waterfall" known as one of the three major waterfalls in Japan - Nachi Waterfall exists and is a very famous tourist attraction.

Wakayama Prefecture is a city located in the Kansai area. It is surrounded by Nara and Osaka. It is very far away from Tokyo. If you drive, it will be impossible to arrive within a few hours. Therefore, the best way to commute is to fly domestically. In addition, there is only the Shinkansen along with the whole of Japan.

The two people who parked and locked the car got out of the car, walked into the train station together, bought two tickets to Wakayama County from the ticket window, walked into the platform under the guidance of the staff, and waited for the arrival of the train .

And the time did not keep the two of them waiting too long. In less than half an hour, a bullet-shaped Shinkansen train with a whitewashed body stopped on the track beside the platform.

Ito Cheng and Athena cut the tickets, boarded the train to Wakayama County, sat down on the seat corresponding to the ticket number, and continued to chat about the previous topic.

Then about 10 minutes later, with the slight vibration of the train body, the train moved forward along the track at high speed.

At the speed of the Shinkansen, even if I stopped and waited on various platforms for a long time in the middle, I still arrived in Wakayama County after more than an hour.

Ito Cheng and Athena got off the train, transferred to the city bus, and went to Nachikatsu Kamacho.

After arriving at Nachikatsu Kamacho after a period of turbulence, Ito Cheng took Athena into Nachi Mountain, and went to the most famous building in the mountain - the waterfall shrine.

"What are we going there for?" At this moment, Athena finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and asked.

"Borrow the waterfall there." Ito Cheng replied with a smile.

"Waterfall?" Athena repeated.

"Well. If you want to advance your spiritual power, you must first use some methods to temper your spiritual power to purify and improve your spiritual power. With your current state, there are only two ways It can help you complete this step." Ito Cheng explained.

"One, let me act and use my mental power to put pressure on you. But this method has some disadvantages, that is, the competition between mental power and mental power is very dangerous, especially when the gap between us is so large, It's easy to hurt you."

"And the second is to use the falling force of the waterfall to temper. Although the effect is not as fast and effective as the first one, it is better in safety and the variables are controllable."

"Is that so..." Athena suddenly said. (To be continued..)
