Chapter 788: Shi Potian

After a burst of laughter and play, the group walked toward the airport exit.

"By the way, Nanami-chan, Sakura Appartments can't possibly fit all of us, right?" Kasumigaoka Uta suddenly asked. "Besides, the environment there isn't great."

Upon hearing this, Gogō Ruri also made a disgusted face.

"We don't need to stay there!" Komaki shouted happily. "Didn't we sell gold earlier? Me and Nanami bought a villa."

"Whoa, how much gold did you sell? Villas aren't cheap!" Gogō Ruri gasped. "My family only just switched villas—Dad was super careful selling gold, never dared to sell too much at once."

"You still need to be careful?" Su Xiao was stunned. "In your world, you could flip the whole table by yourself!"

"Nah, too much trouble," Gogō Ruri slumped like a lazy fish. "Showing off my power brings endless headaches! Boring. I'd rather cook."

Komaki "427" giggled: "Just a few billion. I lent some to Nanami—she already took out a loan to cultivate and paid it back with leftover points!"

"Whoa, a villa!" Miyamizu Miku's eyes lit up. "I want to see if it has a swimming pool or something. I've never lived in a villa before!"

"Uh… isn't that your house?"

"That's just an old-style Japanese house!"

"What about Dalaotian?"

"That's an estate, isn't it?"

"You're too ordinary!"

Chatting, the group returned to Aoyama Nanami's home.

It was a lavishly decorated villa, with a garden spanning several acres—an extreme luxury in Tokyo, where every square meter cost a fortune.

But for those in the chat group—or Shinshiro, who had no sense of daily life—the villa's value meant nothing.

They cared only about its amenities.

"Whoa, a game arcade! Komaki, you really know how to live!" Kurogami cheered, dashing into the separate arcade and flopping onto the floor, turning into a lazy fish.

"Whoa, a swimming pool—the kind only the rich have!"

"This is hilarious, Miku—you're just tossing away fruit pits that rich people couldn't afford in a lifetime!" Everyone covered their faces.

Shi Potian stood dazed beside Aoyama Nanami, occasionally glancing at the others, her eyes confused yet curious.

"Fruit pits?"

"Rich people?"

Even with her complete lack of daily life sense, Shi Potian knew something was off about what she was seeing.

"Don't worry about them, Shinshiro—you'll get used to it. Come on, Shinshiro, I'll show you your room."

"Oh."

The next day.

Early in the morning, Aoyama Nanami felt her head ache.

Entering Shinshiro's room, she saw a cat-like creature curled up inside a sheet of drawing paper.

"Shinshiro, it's already morning!"

"Morning won't come anymore!" Shinshiro blinked dully and uttered something terrifying.

Aoyama Nanami covered her face, finally assuming the role of a mother, and began helping Shinshiro wash up.

After washing up, the group started preparing a script for Shinshiro.

"So, what should we draw?"

"Of course a harem manga—with the husband as the protagonist!"

"No way! I won't draw fan service in anime!" Miyamizu Miku immediately objected, and the others joined in.

"Then let's think slowly," Kasumigaoka Uta said calmly. Suddenly, her eyes brightened. "Let's take Shinshiro to the Immortal Realm—let her see the supernatural world. Then when she draws related manga later, it'll feel more grand. Imagination alone always lacks realism!"

"Uh… Kasumigaoka, you just want to show off, don't you?"

"But aren't we going to tell Shinshiro about all this eventually?"

As they discussed, Shinshiro sat on the sofa, swaying slightly, looking half-asleep.

Until Aoyama Nanami shook her and asked: "Shinshiro, what do you think?"

"You decide, Nanami-chan."

"Huh?"

"Rita always decided before. You're like Rita."

"Alright then, come with us. Don't be scared no matter what you see!" Aoyama Nanami warned. "We'll protect you."

"Mm." Shinshiro nodded lightly, curiosity stirring inside her.

The next moment, a portal of light flared open.

Shinshiro instantly perked up, like a kitten, leaning close, her golden eyes fixed on the portal, brimming with curiosity.

"Nanami, what is this?"

"It's the Cross-Dimensional Gate."

"Cross-dimensional?"

"Haven't you ever read manga about other worlds?"

"Other world?" Shinshiro's eyes brightened. "Nanami, are you taking me to another world? Are we the protagonists?"

Aoyama Nanami smiled: "Going to another world is real—but whether we're protagonists? Not sure. Let's go."

Taking Shinshiro's hand, they stepped through the Cross-Dimensional Gate…

Crossing the portal, Shinshiro suddenly felt a brilliant light flood her vision—before her stretched a vast immortal land, with immortal mountains rolling like coiled dragons across the earth, and great rivers surging like true dragons run wild.
