Chapter 332 Returning home naturally calls for some intimacy.
"This is... your world, Time?"
As Shi Chen stood in front of the Time Cafe, Irisviel within him couldn't help but ask.
Time Cafe is indeed his cafe; the name was decided by everyone.
Shi is naturally derived from the surname of Shichen (時辰), while Shiguang (時時) represents everyone and their wonderful time together.
"Yes, isn't it similar to your world?"
"Dad's world! It's amazing!"
Ilya was inside him, and she was perfectly fine.
Shi Chen originally thought that once he removed the divine fragment from Ilya's body, she would cease to exist, since her true form was a divine fragment.
If it weren't for "her" guarantee, he really wouldn't have dared to take the fragment of divinity.
Ilya has her own soul. It is unclear whether the fragment of the divine essence gave birth to her soul, or whether she originally appeared in Irisviel's body along with the fragment of the divine essence.
The exact time is unclear.
"It's about the same... but it seems to be developing faster."
Through her body, Irisviel could clearly sense that the world was very advanced.
Skyscrapers, bustling crowds, laughter and joy—a scene of peace and beauty. Even if her world developed for decades, it might not reach such a level.
Because of one thing, magic.
Without magic, such a peaceful scene would be impossible.
"There's no other way; this world doesn't have any supernatural powers, so we can only rely on technology."
"This world has no supernatural powers? Then what about you?"
"Well... to put it simply, this place is like a transit point for me. I will travel to other worlds... but Frilian is not from this world."
"So that's how it is."
"By the way, this shop is mine. There are quite a few people like you inside. I'll introduce you to them later," Shi Chen reminded him.
"Huh? Okay, okay..." Irisviel felt a little nervous for some reason.
"I have a feeling this isn't simple..." Frillian said.
"What's so complicated?"
"People like us......aren't they all girls?" Frillian asked.
Shi Chen remained silent.
"really."
"Ahem, let's go inside first, and I'll show you around this world later," Shi Chen said, walking into the coffee shop.
"Welcome... Ah! Brother Chen!" As soon as she saw Shichen, Jinmu Qianshu excitedly ran towards him, carrying a plate in her hand.
"What a lovely girl..." Irisviel thought to herself.
"Chizuka... put the things down first." Inoue Takina, who had just finished serving the dishes, quickly reminded her.
"I know~ I know~"
Chizuka Nishiki casually placed the plate on the empty dining table she passed, and then threw herself into Toki's arms.
"Brother Chen~ I miss you so much~"
This time was different from the past. Before leaving, Shi Chen took advantage of her completely, and her longing for him deepened to an unfathomable level in just one month.
"I miss you too." Shichen hugged Jinmu Qianshu tightly, his breath carrying her familiar scent.
Unlike Nishiki Chizuki, he hadn't seen her for over a year, and his longing for her was no less.
"Oh~ the store manager is back~"
"They're already showing off their love as soon as they get back."
"Chizuka-chan is so bold."
"Takina-chan, aren't you going?"
"Huh? Me?"
Takina Inoue hadn't expected the guests to make a fuss about her, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
She couldn't help but look at the time, only to meet his gaze. She nervously turned her head away.
She remembered the times he had bullied her.
Shichen released Nishiki Chizuka, came to Inoue Takina, opened his arms, and asked with a smile, "Won't you give me a hug?"
"Huh? This, this is in the store..." Her face was flushed, and she no longer had her usual serious expression.
"Don't worry about it, we don't mind."
"Exactly! When it comes to love, you have to be bold and aggressive! Don't lose to Chizuka-chan!"
"We support you!"
"What?! I'm a Chizuka fan! Chizuka-chan, stop her!"
The guests started making a fuss again.
The coffee shop was originally a quiet place, but it's full of regular customers, and thanks to Chizuka Nishiki, it's become quite lively.
Even the office workers by the window watched this scene with amusement.
"I..." Inoue Takina was even more embarrassed, standing there helplessly.
Upon seeing this, Shi Chen, without saying a word, took the initiative to hug her.
I'll take that as a yes.
"Ugh...:.:" Inoue Takina's face felt a little hot, and she huddled in Tokimitsu's arms, not wanting to be seen by the guests.
It wasn't that she didn't struggle, it's just that Shi Chen was holding her too tightly, and she felt she definitely couldn't break free.
"Have you missed me?" Shi Chen suddenly asked.
"I....
'
"If you don't answer honestly, I'm going to do something to you in front of everyone," Shichen threatened.
"Hmm...I want to," Inoue Takina quickly replied.
"That's more like it." Shi Chen released her with satisfaction.
Inoue Takina's face was already flushed, and she ran straight to the kitchen to hide.
And what she exchanged with was, of course, Thor.
"Lord Chen!"
The tall maid rushed into Shi Chen's arms at an imperceptible speed, and even brought the baby along with her.
Even Shichen was forced back two steps by his sudden movement: "Thor... are you trying to kill me?"
"How is that possible!"
Thor put his arm around Shichen's lower back, shook his head, and held him tightly.
"Oh! Cosplay?" From within Shichen's body, Frilian exclaimed in surprise.
Shichen ignored her, raised his hand to ruffle Thor's hair, and said with a smile, "Thor, I'm back."
"Yes! Welcome back, Lord Chen!" Thor tilted his head back, beaming with a smile.
"Thor... the food you made..." Inoue Takina poked her head out from the kitchen to remind her.
"Ah! I almost forgot!"
"Hehe~ No rush, you go ahead and do your thing," Shi Chen said.
"I see!"
chirp~
Thor suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed the hour, and then turned and went back to the kitchen.
"Oh!"
The customers in the store became excited.
"Chizuka-chan, you should have one too!"
"come on!"
"Hee~" Jinmu Qian Shu came to Shi Chen's side with a smile.
"Come on." Shi Chen squatted down slightly.
Hehe~
Without any restraint, Nishiki Chizuki cupped Shichen's face in her hands and stood on tiptoe to steady him.
Oh, those who call themselves Chizuka fans are even more excited.
Without going into further conversation, Nishiki Chizuka quickly parted ways with Shichen, only licking her lips wistfully.
Shi Chen looked at her helplessly: "Don't you know how to be ashamed?"
"What's the big deal?" Nishiki Chizuka said dismissively.
"Never mind, I'll go back upstairs first. You go ahead and do your work."
"Uh-huh!"
Shichen waved goodbye to the guests and went upstairs alone to his room, where he released Irisviel and the others.
"Where is this?" Ilya asked, looking around curiously.
"This is my room."
"Dad's room!"
Ilya and Shi Ying looked at each other, then pounced on his bed together.
Shichen ignored the two girls and looked at Irisviel and the other two, especially Artoria, who hadn't said a word.
"Artoria, are you not used to it here?"
"No." Artoria gently shook her head.
"Then why haven't you said anything?"
"N-I don't know what to say...." Artoria replied, pursing her lips.
She thus departed from her heroic spirit body and truly remained, arriving in a world completely different from her own. For a moment, her thoughts were too chaotic to know what to say.
"So that's how it is." Shi Chen took her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't overthink it. You've started a new life."
"Mmm..." Artoria leaned shyly against his chest and nodded gently.
"Honestly, Tokiomi, you really spoil Saber." Irisviel pouted.
"Hehe~ I'll spoil you too." Shi Chen freed one hand and pulled Irisviel into his arms.
Irisviel offered no resistance, throwing herself into his arms and meeting Artoria's gaze.
She laughed, while Artoria lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Frilian, do you want some?" Shichen looked at Frilian, who had been restless ever since they came out.
"No need! I'd much rather get to know that guy named Thor."
"Um?"
"That's cosplay! And it's Dragon Girl! I've never seen anything like it before!"
Shi Chen's lips twitched, and she looked at her helplessly: "Didn't you notice anything different about Thor?"
"What?"
"Didn't you notice the immense magical power within her?"
"I really didn't notice."
Moreover, Thor's horns and his large tail are not just decorations.
"What do you mean?"
"Thor is a true dragon; that's what she looks like in human form."
"What? Really?" Frillie exclaimed in surprise.
Artoria and Irisviel both looked up at him.
"Why would I need to lie to you?"
