Chapter 96: Distress, a Gift for Sajyou Ayaka

However, the only trouble with this is that one must have a very intimate existence with the Root to accomplish it.

Although Su Nian can enter and exit the Root freely, there is one point that is still quite troublesome: with his current means, he is still unable to make contact with the Counter Force.

Even though the Counter Force is also an existence connected to the Root.

This kind of thing can only be done by Sajyou Ayaka, who is the Root Princess.

"This will likely require troubling Aika a bit."

Thinking of this, Su Nian also felt a bit embarrassed; after all, he hadn't done anything for Aika yet, and now he was already seeking her help.

This still made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"How should I compensate Aika?"

This was a matter that gave Su Nian quite a headache; it was precisely because he knew Sajyou Ayaka would never refuse his request that Su Nian was thinking about compensation.

At the very least, he should give Sajyou Ayaka a carefully prepared gift.

He admits that he is a scumbag, but he does not want to let down the feelings of any girl.

As for Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka, to be honest, that was because he was too carried away right after he transmigrated.

And in fact, Busujima Saeko's attitude toward him was more about loyalty and gratitude, rather than romantic feelings.

Not to mention Marikawa Shizuka, who belonged to the idea of just keeping a pleasant-looking pet on the side.

After all, with less than three hours of contact in total, what kind of feelings could be produced? As for the time spent together afterward, it slowly developed into a friendship.

And the first one to truly develop feelings for him and pursue him fiercely was Sajyou Ayaka.

In reality, he is still quite Buddhist and passive; at most, he just talks some smooth talk and enjoys the verbal satisfaction.

Otherwise, he would have already taken Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka.

And now, facing Sajyou Ayaka's intense pursuit, even after pursuing him for several days, Sajyou Ayaka's first kiss is still being kept.

"How about I just give myself away?"

Su Nian was almost amused by his own thought.

However, just as Su Nian returned to the Matou Residence to think, Sajyou Ayaka seemed to have discovered Su Nian's distress.

Curiously, she put down the work in her hands, sat opposite Su Nian, and blinked her love-filled eyes at him.

"Prince, what are you distressed about again?"

"I was thinking that since Aika has helped me so much, what kind of gift should I give Aika?"

Su Nian rested his head on his hands, looked at Aika, and said with a smile.

"But tell me, Aika, what kind of gift do you want?"

Anyway, for him now, most things can be easily obtained; even if Sajyou Ayaka wanted the stars in the sky, he could pluck a few planets for her.

But doing so would be a bit too casual and lack sincerity.

It is precisely because everything can be obtained easily that the importance of sincerity becomes apparent.

After hearing Su Nian's words, Sajyou Ayaka's heart could not help but beat violently, and her face was filled with joy.

At this moment, she had the feeling that this life was worth it.

"Prince's words are the best gift for Aika."

Sajyou Ayaka covered her heart and said in a tone filled with love.

What is most important when pursuing the person you like?

It is positive feedback, the clearly perceptible increase in favorability, and a two-way journey.

And now, Sajyou Ayaka felt that she was currently on a two-way journey with her Prince, and the distance between their hearts was gradually shortening.

"But it's precisely because I knew Aika would answer like that that I'm distressed."

Su Nian rubbed Sajyou Ayaka's soft, light-gold hair and said.

"But I also don't know what I want."

Sajyou Ayaka also fell into distress just like Su Nian; for her, Su Nian's response was the best gift.

"Being by Prince's side is the best gift."

After hearing Sajyou Ayaka's words, Su Nian was dumbfounded and laughed, then vigorously rubbed Sajyou Ayaka's head and said.

"You can choose not to have it, but I cannot choose not to give it."

This is a matter of attitude; he could naturally accept Sajyou Ayaka's feelings at any time, or even completely train Sajyou Ayaka into his own living weapon.

But what is the point of that?

Instead, it would cause him to lose his original heart and lose his humanity.

Becoming a Slave to desire.

On the contrary, taking it slow like this, letting things happen naturally, makes it less likely to lose the fun.

"Then please let Aika look forward to Prince's gift; Aika will pretend to know nothing."

Sajyou Ayaka stood up, hands behind her back, and after spinning around excitedly, she finally calmed herself down.

Only after doing so, she still dared not look at Su Nian; she was afraid that if she kept looking, she would be unable to control herself.

She did not want to leave a bad impression in front of the Prince.

And in a place where Su Nian could not see, Sajyou Ayaka could not help but spin around happily like a child.

"La la la—Prince is actually going to give me a gift."

Watching Sajyou Ayaka, who was so full of childlike innocence, Su Nian could not help but reveal a smile.

I really don't know how the Old Sword raised such a pure Sajyou Ayaka to become like that.

As long as one shows a little bit of affection and guides her, Sajyou Ayaka would completely be the most thoughtful and obedient girlfriend.

However, looking at Sajyou Ayaka, Su Nian probably also knew what kind of gift he should give her.

A gift that Sajyou Ayaka would never refuse.

"Hey, how is the Spirit Status processing for Little Algol's student going?"

Suddenly, a crisp voice full of enchantment rang out in Su Nian's mind.

It was the voice of Algol.

"It's already done, but why haven't you responded no matter how I tried Summoning you these past few days?"

Su Nian had wanted to ask Algol, this senior, for advice on some questions regarding Spirit Status.

As someone who once challenged the Gods and Buddhas of the Three Thousand Worlds single-handedly, Algol's achievements in the field of Spirit Status were surely far higher than his own half-baked level.

"I was adjusting the seal; that ugly woman Athena was truly ruthless, actually setting the most crucial part of the seal upon the sealing of my beauty."

"That ugly woman is definitely jealous of Little Algol's beauty!"

"So, Little Algol, you've been busy for these past few days, and in the end, there are no results at all?"

Su Nian said, as expected; it was no wonder Athena had handed Algol over so easily.

"Of course that's impossible, I am Little Garden's number one beautiful girl, Little Algol, how could I have no way at all?"

Algol said with great confidence; although Athena's seal was indeed sturdy and involved every aspect, it was not as if she had no way to deal with it.

"You draw a Heroic Spirit Summoning Array from before, and with Little Algol as the Holy Relic, you will be able to witness Little Algol's beauty."

"Although a Heroic Spirit body can only bear less than one ten-billionth of Little Algol's beauty, it is still enough to broaden the horizons of a guy like you."
