Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Riku's sudden action made Shinji realize that something was wrong, and he cast a puzzled look at him.

When the other party mentioned the Ex-Machina, a trace of extremely complicated emotions flashed across his face, but it disappeared immediately...

"My hometown... was destroyed in the battle between the Ex-Machinas and the Dragonites. The entire tribe, except for me who was young and whose mother blocked most of the aftermath, all the rest died..."

Hearing this, Hubie trembled for a moment and involuntarily moved behind Shinji.

"At that time, they were fighting a dragon spirit. As expected, they won in the end, but at the same time, most of the inconspicuous humans around them also died... So I have a deep impression of this incident..."

"..."

“It’s a really sad story.”

"…You don't have to comfort me. I don't think you are a very compassionate person."

"Then you're still talking?"

"I want you to manage."

Shinji couldn't help but laugh... It seems that this guy also has a very tragic life experience, but he can still control his emotions and behavior very well...

Sure enough, he liked this unscrupulous white-haired guy more and more.

"By the way, what's going on with you? I still haven't found any information about you. You're so mysterious."

"You're right not to know..."

Shinji straightened up in an affectation of sophistication, and raised his hands to cover his face, making a very childish gesture.

"I have the ability to cross parallel worlds, but due to some complicated reasons, this ability seems to have deteriorated. Coupled with the runaway energy in my body, I ended up here in a daze."

"And I also met Hubie at that time, and then it was you..."

"That's really sloppy... But do parallel worlds really exist?"

"Of course it exists. After all, it is an infinite number of possible manifestations. It's just that only a small number of people can access it. Most people have never seen it."

"And the world I belong to is not a parallel world at all, but an outer world with different life environment and time... Of course, I don't understand this kind of thing either, and we don't need to worry about it too much now."

Riku stared blankly at the glowing stone in front of him, with a dim light reflected in his eyes:

"What is your world like?"

"…There, it is a peaceful world with only humans. Although some wars still occur, most people can live in peace…"

"For thousands of years, people have built countless buildings on the continent, married, had children, bought houses and means of transportation. When children are born, they are sent to school, where they learn knowledge and make friends..."

"The magic there is hidden and only exists in imagination, but the level of human technology there is much higher than here, and most of them are inventions that make life easier."

“…This is truly…an extremely desirable life!”

Riku listened to Shinji's introduction, and his eyes lit up with every word he said.

Once upon a time, he had imagined what it would be like for humans to settle down... but the result was that it was simply impossible to imagine.

Moreover, in this desperate situation, it will never be the turn of humans to take charge, so he does not even imagine the impossible ideal world...

However, when we are really told that such a beautiful world exists, how can we not yearn for it?

"I said Shinji..."

Riku suddenly muttered to himself:

"…Do you think our world can become like that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party was immediately amused by his words... How could such a thing be possible? There is a huge gap in strength. Humans are naturally a level lower than other races. How can they be fair to everyone?

Shinji also laughed when he heard it, but his laugh was not a mocking laugh...

"Boy... do you know what a miracle is?"

"If everything goes smoothly, if there is no such thing as the impossible, then what is the meaning of miracles?"

Riku was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head and stared into Shinji's eyes...

After a moment, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha, it seems that my meeting you is not an accident..."

Hubie looked at the two people in front of her who were talking and suddenly burst into laughter, and she didn't understand at once... So now she has to laugh too?

Hubie:? (Tilts his head)

……

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and the snowstorm outside gradually eased. In order to avoid any accidents, Shinji and the others chose to return to the base as soon as possible...

"Cuck!"

"state!"

“…If you can’t scream, don’t scream!”

"..."

The poor Siberian Crab was forced to keep its beak tightly shut after being punched by Shinji. It had only cried out once, but this human punched it twice. What kind of person is this!

After solving the source of the noise beneath him, Shinji retracted his fist which was slightly steaming... this little thing has a pretty thick skin.

Then he looked down at Hubie who was curled up in his arms and remained silent...

He was clearly still touching me when he came, but now he suddenly became silent. It turned out to be the same problem as before.

"Hubby?"

"Ah."

"…If you don't say something, it won't change…or do you think I'm not worthy of your trust?"

"No."

Hubie shook his head like a rattle, then lowered his head in silence for a while, and finally he was willing to speak out:

"Hubby... If Hubby does something wrong, will Shinji chase him away?"

“Puchi! Heheheha…”

"I thought it was no big deal, but it turns out I've gotten into trouble hahaha... Don't worry, even if you poke a hole in the sky today, I will never chase you away. Who would be willing to chase away someone as cute as Hughie?"

When Hubie heard this, his eyes widened slightly, but he still hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to bring up that matter.

During this time, Shinji did not disturb her, but just hugged her quietly, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"...Actually, when Riku mentioned the battle between the Ex-Machina and the Dragonia, Schwi also participated..."

"Oh?"

Hugh raised his head slightly and chose to explain the whole process to Shinji:

"Ex-Machinas have always appeared in the form of a "chain". Each "chain" is composed of 437 machines... and Shuvi is just an ordinary member of them..."

"Normally we would not attack other species, but that day, Yanlong Alonleife, one of the three dragon kings of the [Dragon Spirit], attacked us with his seven followers..."

"In that battle, we deployed eight [Links] with a total of 3496 machines... After a long battle, we analyzed Yanlong's fighting style and chose a targeted combat plan. In the end, he had no choice but to launch an attack at the cost of his life - [Breaking Roar]!"

"We had no defense against that attack. The moment the Dragon King-level [Crashing Roar] was released, 1468 machines were burned to ashes by the blazing flames."

"At that time, Hubie, who was still in the analytical form, proposed to use [Access Control] to adjust the combat order [Resist] to [Deviate], and it was immediately adopted..."

"And the point where it landed... just happened to be Riku's hometown..."

“…I see. This is what you’re worried about.”

After hearing this story, Shinji also understood why Shubi reacted that way at that time... Maybe Riku might not remember Shubi after a long time, but as a machine, Shubi will never forget things.

"Hey, Shinji... Will Riku become estranged from us because of this? What if it destroys your relationship..."

There was obvious worry in Hubie's tone, and his voice was trembling slightly...

But halfway through his words, Shinji held his head with his hand:

"Don't worry... Riku is not a normal person..."

"A person who can abandon his feelings for the sake of survival will never give up any possibility of turning the situation around. Even if he knows that you did it, he will definitely pretend that he didn't know."

"What's more... you didn't do anything wrong. You just made the most correct choice at the time. Although other people were affected by this, it doesn't mean anything. Instead of taking the blame on yourself, you might as well continue to let the world take the blame."

Shinji gently rubbed Shubi's head, caring for her tenderly as if he was comforting a sad little sister... Even if she really did something against the will of heaven and earth, the worst that could happen was that he would just wipe her butt.

With a girl this cute and clingy who always considers you, what else can you do except pamper and spoil her?

After all, it's not like he hasn't done things that were hostile to the world before, so who is he afraid of now?

Faced with Shinji's unconditional trust, Hubie's mood gradually calmed down. She didn't even notice that the worry and fear she just felt were something she had never experienced before.

But now Hubie only feels that the touch from behind is reassuring...

Taking advantage of his small size, Shubi turned around in Shinji's arms, from facing away to facing him, and looked up at Shinji sincerely:

"Shinji..."

"Ok?"

“…Let’s have a baby tonight.”

"..."

"state!"

"…If you can't speak, then don't speak."
