"Forget it. You can turn around now."

Illya forgives Ichika.

First of all, it's not all Ichika's fault.

This kind of thing can actually be avoided, and Illya's glare at Penglai was also because of this.

Even though Penglai could have reminded Ilia in a secret way, he chose to remain silent.

Secondly, there are also some influences from the world itself.

Ilia's abilities have been suppressed by this technological world.

Not only is the convenient skill of mind scanning unavailable, but even the ability to sense breath has been weakened a lot.

Therefore, Illya, who was in a bathing state and completely relaxed, was unable to notice the arrival of Ichika.

"Oh! You, you are..."

Hearing this, Ichika turned around. Then he looked at Illya's face with some confusion, feeling something familiar.

"Don't you remember it so soon? I am your classmate. Didn't we meet on the roof? Ichika-san?"

Seeing that Ichika couldn't remember, Illya gave him a little reminder.

"By the way! You are Ilia, the girl who rushed back to the classroom with us, right?"

Ichika clapped his palms and remembered who Illya was, then lowered his head and faced Illya on his knees, expressing his sincerity in apologizing.

"I'm so sorry just now! I really didn't mean it! Please forgive me!"

"Well, get up. I already told you to forget it. Why do you still remember it so clearly? Don't you know that it is very rude for girls to bring up old talk in this regard?"

Illya gently patted Ichika's shoulder.

"Yes! I understand! Sorry! And, thank you for forgiving me!"

Ichika breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Illya would pursue it.

He simply didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

"Okay. Can you return this to me? Are you also interested in this kind of girly stuff?"

Illya pointed to the Penglai in Ichika's hand and asked him.

"Sorry! I didn't know this was yours."

Ichika quickly handed the Penglai back to Illya.

"Then, if nothing happens, I'll sleep first. I'm using this bed, and you can do the rest by yourself. I think, not only me, but you also need some time to think about it, right? So,

If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

With that said, Illya opened the partition between the two beds and lay down on the bed in her school uniform.

"It's really strange that some girls don't even ask me why I'm here. Also, the reaction just now, are all girls so indifferent?"

Ichika and Ichibie muttered as they packed up their belongings.

…

"Master, master...it feels so uncomfortable..."

At this time, Penglai was held tightly in Ilia's hands.

"Do you still know how uncomfortable it is? Do you really want me to be seen naked?"

A big "#" sign appeared on the top of Ilia's head.

"Master, Penglai knows that he was wrong! Penglai never dares to do it again!"

Penglai waved his arms and legs vigorously, trying his best to struggle out of Ilia's grasp.

"Do you know that I almost wanted to kill that guy?! The main character was killed by me, and the 'thread' still collected nothing?! Alas..."

Finally, Ilia sighed, relaxed her grip, and let Penglai go.

Because Ichika was still there, the liberated Penglai didn't dare to fly around, so he ran under the bed and hid.

"Tsk...Okay, little one, come out."

Looking at Penglai who kept looking over from under the bed, Ilia chuckled.

"Master, has Penglai forgiven you?"

Penglai flew to the bedside and asked cautiously.

"Well, I forgive you this time. But there won't be a next time!"

Ilia nodded and reached out to touch the top of Penglai's head.

"Penglai, let me ask you."

While Penglai was enjoying Ilia's touch on the head very comfortably, Ilia suddenly withdrew her hand, narrowed her eyes and became extremely serious.

"When you wanted to remind me that Ichika is coming, did you suddenly feel that you could do without reminding me?"

"Well? Master, when you tell me, it seems like it is really like this!"

Penglai nodded.

"Originally Penglai wanted to remind the master. However, suddenly he felt that it would be better not to remind him. It's strange that Penglai didn't think so?"

"Is it true..."

Ilia began to think deeply, and the abnormality on Penglai's body proved her certain thoughts.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing that his master's anger had subsided, Penglai lay on top of Ilia's head again.

"I said, this will happen, and it turns out that part of the reason is that the world itself is causing trouble."

Illya twisted a strand of light golden hair scattered on her body and began to explain to Penglai.

"Peng Lai, you should know how the world will react to outsiders like us, right?"

"Well...repulsion, devouring and assimilation. Master has taught Penglai."

Penglai clicked her little fingers one by one.

"Yes, these are the three reactions. The world knows that it cannot exclude or devour me, so it uses the third method - assimilation."

Illya looked at the partition. After concentrating, she could feel Ichika's aura moving on the other side of the partition.

"The world smoothly put me into the plot, so as a female character, I was undoubtedly arranged to provide benefits to the male protagonist... Such an assimilation... It really caught people off guard."

Illya threw some of the twisted hair out of her hand, and the floating hair suddenly turned into little sparks.

After a brief moment of twilight, it dimly disappeared.

"Master, that is to say, Penglai has been affected by the world?"

Penglai slowly lay on Ilia's chest, his eyes a little dazed and worried.

"Don't be afraid, little thing. The world can only do a little bit. It's impossible to really affect your soul. My skills are not that bad."

Ilia tapped Penglai's cheek with her finger, signaling Penglai not to worry.

"Wait a minute, I will add a few more spiritual protection magic circles to you. So don't worry!"

"Yes! I understand, Master!"

Penglai nodded his head happily and lay quietly on Ilia's chest, enjoying Ilia's body temperature.

…

"Well, I forgot to mention it yesterday. I was arranged by the teacher to live here, which means I will be your roommate from now on. Please give me your advice. Of course, if you find it troublesome to live with boys, I will

Discuss with the teacher about moving to another place!"

Early the next morning, Ichika was sitting on the floor.

"Well, you can live in if you want. Now that things have become like this, wouldn't it be very unkind for me to kick you out? As long as you can restrain yourself and don't do anything excessive, that's all."

Illya did not focus on Ichika, but straightened her somewhat messy long hair in the mirror and straightened the crown on her head.

"Um, can you ask a question?"

Following Illya's movements, Ichika's attention was also drawn to the silver crown.

"Okay. What do you want to ask?"

After confirming that her demeanor was fine in the mirror, Illya turned her attention to Ichika.

"That crown is..."

Ichika pointed at the crown.

"This? This is my status symbol as the princess of the Ilanvia Empire."

Ilia reached out and took off the crown and put it into the morning light.

The silver crown constantly refracts light and shines with illusory brilliance.

"It is also my IS-specific machine 'Dragon Knight'."

"is a dedicated machine?"
