Chapter 319

"The so-called Holy Spirits are existences that cannot communicate with anyone who does not possess a 'Pure Heart.' And in the Material Realm, only a very small number of girls with pure hearts and special aptitudes can see our existence."

When Merlin said this, it felt its head was a bit itchy and really wanted to scratch it, but unfortunately, it was being used as a pillow, so it could only sigh and continue.

"... Young children need to receive the protection of beings higher and stronger than themselves; this is the origin of the contract between humans and Holy Spirits. Humans call those girls who can communicate with Holy Spirits with their hearts and use the power of Holy Spirits 'Saintesses'."

Pure heart?

Young girl?

Young child?

"Did you get something wrong? I can't see a single element in myself that meets these requirements."

Jia Ji rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat exhausted. Could it be that he was some cheap, low-cost Heroic Spirit that could be summoned incorrectly at will? It just so happened there was a mage named Merlin here, so it was hard not to associate this with being sent to save human history or fight in a Grail War.

"Lady An Jieli Ya is a special existence! She was originally a human like you..."

The doll, which was not much bigger than a fumo, solemnly declared. Previously, it had said that ordinary humans could not enter the Holy Spirit Realm, but there would be some special situations—an abnormal phenomenon called 'Dimensional Skew'!

The Holy Spirit Realm and the Material Realm are not interconnected; they are more like high-dimensional existences. But when the Dimensional Skew phenomenon occurs, the height between the Material Realm and the Holy Spirit Realm enters an "ambiguous" state, and the boundaries of space become distorted.

Even Saintesses cannot see this distortion of spatial boundaries.

However, when a Dimensional Skew occurs, high-purity Holy Spirit power flows into the human world, appearing in the form of fog. After this, people often go missing; in reality, they have been caught in the dimensional rift and entered the Holy Spirit Realm.

If one is sucked into the Holy Spirit Realm due to a Dimensional Skew, one can only survive by transforming into a Holy Spirit. But nine out of ten people will have their physical bodies annihilated and disappear just like that.

Merlin said An Jieli Ya Eberon was a special existence because—

At the age of ten, she entered the Holy Spirit Realm from the Material Realm by her own will and became a Holy Spirit. Her appearance was forever fixed at ten years old, and in the following years, she took Merlin and fought her way through the Holy Spirit Realm, becoming the recognized "Great Elder of the Holy Spirit Realm" and "Ultimate Holy Young Girl."

Dragon species, fairies, or whatever else, in the face of An Jieli Ya's illogical strength, were all beaten by her little fists until they cried out, just like Jia Ji before.

Thinking of those glorious days, even Merlin couldn't help but proudly puff out its chest.

"A ten-year-old little girl who never grows up, huh?"

No wonder she was so childish and had such weird tastes. If Jia Ji had this invincible strength in the Holy Spirit Realm, he would definitely be causing trouble too. In a way, the two were quite similar.

"So... what does this have to do with me?"

Hmm, Jia Ji glanced at this blonde little girl who was sleeping soundly, draped in only a white shirt, revealing a flat, smooth, rising and falling abdomen, with a trace of crystalline saliva at the corner of her tender, slightly parted lips. Her appearance was exquisite and cute, her cuteness level off the charts, giving him an urge he couldn't control in his right hand.

But just looking at her appearance, no one would imagine that she could cause a world to tremble with a single move.

"The Holy Spirit Realm is large, enough to accommodate all Holy Spirits to exist together, but the Holy Spirit Realm is also very small, so small that it cannot withstand Lady An Jieli Ya's mood swings."

Somehow, Jia Ji seemed to feel that Merlin was about to cry. But that made sense; if a willful little girl who could redefine the earth, fire, water, and wind of the entire world with a single thought used it as a pillow every day, that would indeed be a very terrifying thing.

Jia Ji, who had experienced the time loop of Haruhi Suzumiya, still didn't dare to go back and pull her whiskers even now; this was a testament to that.

Even if she couldn't compare to Haruhi Suzumiya's ability to easily cause a time loop and destroy the structure of the universe, An Jieli Ya's power far exceeded the scope that the Holy Spirit Realm could contain.

"Oh my fragile little plane, you guys have it rough too... So I'm the reinforcements you called for?"

That's right, the Holy Spirit Realm also has its underlying logic—a Holy Spirit must sign a contract with a girl with a pure heart to manifest in the world. This is truly the "room you can't leave unless you do ○○" version for beautiful girls.

Even An Jieli Ya couldn't ignore this rule. Unless she was prepared to blow up the entire Holy Spirit Realm, including the cute little Holy Spirits inside, she had no choice but to stay inside.

Although she was a very willful and self-centered person, An Jieli Ya wouldn't go so far as to wipe out all the Holy Spirits just because she wanted to go out and play.

And in this place where even stretching might unconsciously destroy it, An Jieli Ya naturally felt more and more constrained, and her mood became increasingly irritable, leading to no other Holy Spirit daring to appear in front of her except for Merlin, to prevent themselves from becoming her punching bag—

Until Jia Ji appeared.

"Lady An Jieli Ya's power is too strong. If it were an ordinary girl, there would be absolutely no way to withstand her power... Therefore, all of us Holy Spirits gathered together and used the fluctuations Lady An Jieli Ya emitted unconsciously to search the world for someone who could withstand her power and had the highest compatibility with her."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Jia Ji's world-shocking wisdom finally activated, and he suddenly realized. It turned out that this bunch of Holy Spirits hadn't found a suitable candidate on their own Earth and had accidentally chosen Jia Ji, who traveled through dimensions every day.

From this perspective, he really was a "Saintess."

Grabbed in one go, pulled over in an instant.

No, it was only when he lost his autonomous consciousness that he could be pulled over. And he himself belonged to the type that could fight and take a beating, and the times he had been frustrated to that extent were very few, so it was only now that he had figured out the ins and outs.

In fact, when he returned from the Zhan Chi world and was chatting with his fellow disciples, he had already been vaguely summoned. Since then, An Jieli Ya could even faintly perceive his every move through this thread of connection.

"You understand now, so why don't you hurry up and agree! Idiot!"

The tiny figure stood up at some point, arms crossed, emitting a proud cold snort, with a trace of hard-to-detect shy blush on her face.

"So that's how it is... I understand completely."

When all the mysteries were revealed, Jia Ji's chaotic brain gradually became clear. And when one understands everything, one will wake up from the dream...

In other words, he could leave.

"Bye-bye then."

With a laugh, Jia Ji turned around and prepared to leave. He wasn't Kyubey; why would he sign some agreement with some magical girl? However...

"Hey!! You are not allowed to leave!"

Seeing Jia Ji's back as he prepared to leave, the voice of this "Ultimate Holy Young Girl" seemed somewhat impatient.

"Come back quickly, or I'll sentence you to death, I say!"

A childish voice with a hint of crying came from behind. The threat in her tone had no lethality at all; how could it possibly move a man with a heart as hard as iron?

"Woo..."

Watching the figure gradually disappear, An Jieli Ya's orange eyes gradually filled with tears, and she let out a pitiful, small-beast-like whimper.

"Sigh... I really can't do anything with you..."

Jia Ji finally turned around, lifted the tiny blonde little girl high with both hands, and spun her around.

"Actually, I've wanted to be a Stand User for a long time!"

————————

"Hey! And you still say you're not a lolicon!"

Ba Yun Zi, who had heard the whole thing, couldn't help but complain.
