An unknown space outside the world.
This place is deeper and more mysterious than the Grand Temple of Time, and is a place that no life on earth can observe.
Most of this mysterious space was chaotic and empty, only the center was a splendid white palace, and there was a formidable existence within it without even thinking about it.
In the magnificent palace, two petite figures, one black and one white, sat facing each other, their bodies hidden in the chaotic mist that no peeps could see.
"Alaya, what happened to the destiny child you chose?" The black voice gave out a cold and cute little girl's voice, and what she said made people confused.
"Gaia, don't worry about my work, I've been paying attention to my handsome son's movements." The white figure smiled lowly.
Gaia and Alaya, the legendary world consciousness, are now embodied with independent consciousness, and no one will believe it.
Gaia and Alaya are two Counter Force forces in the world. In the world of Magus, two Counter Forces exist like legend. Even in the age of gods where gods still walked the land, Counter Force was supreme.
Alaya is humanity's collective unconscious will to avoid extinction.
Gaia is the will of Earth, the planet's intrinsic desire to survive and prosper.
In layman's terms, it is Alaya who gathers human consciousness, and Gaia who embodies the will of the earth.
"The 'system' you gave him doesn't seem to be working properly," Alaya said with a smile.
"However, that kind of thing is part of Gaia's will, and the taciturn part is also passed down well."
"..." Gaia didn't speak, as Alaya said, she wasn't very good at talking.
"As the consciousness of the world, your personality is completely unpredictable, just like humans." Gaia's cold voice rarely revealed a hint of helplessness.
"I am a collection of human consciousness, which of course contains human personality," Alaya said with a smile.
"Lets stop the boring topic here, we are here to discuss the matter of the Child of Fate." Gaia wisely dropped the subject, otherwise human consciousness could chat with her for hours.
"Tsk, are you that hungry already, you don't even want to wait for our insignificant time," Alaya said sarcastically.
"Of course!" said Gaia with a bit of fanaticism.
"How long have we been stuck here, even if time is meaningless, I don't want to wait any longer. To pursue that higher realm!"
"Be patient." Alaya said calmly "Summon his consciousness later, even if you want to come up with a plan now, he cannot transcend this world without going deep into the Roots."
"..." Gaia didn't speak, agreeing to Alaya's words.
"Don't worry, I don't want to miss this opportunity. In endless times, 'specials' rarely appear, even if exchanged with worlds!"
"..."
There was a hint of embarrassment in the air, and Alaya forgot that the person in front of her was a world consciousness.
...
At an ordinary restaurant outside Otonokizaka Academy, Ryuji orders a private room to entertain the Muse members.
"Can we come too?" Rin asked slightly cautiously.
"Sure." Ryuuji smiled and nodded.
Originally, he wanted to go to a fancier restaurant, but Kotori stopped him, saying that she wanted to save up a bit.
Ryuji didn't expect Kotori to have the attributes of a housewife, it felt amazing.
"When did Kotori Senpai and Hyakki Senpai start dating?" Rin asked curiously.
"This..." Ryuji glanced at Kotori, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Only just."
"Pfft!" Honoka, who was drinking orange juice, spat it out in one gulp.
"Haven't Ryu-chan and Kotori-chan been dating for a long time?!" Honoka said in disbelief.
"No." Ryuuji shook his head.
The corner of Umi's eye twitched, which meant they were doing it wrong from the start. But there was behavior between lovers before they entered into a relationship, it was too embarrassing!
"Then, how is Kotori Senpai and Hyakki Senpai related, and who confessed first?" Even Hanayo, who had always been shy, dared to ask.
This question made Kotori blush even more, because she confessed first.
Honoka said carelessly: "Of course Ryu-chan confessed first, how could Kotori confess."
Her friend's words made Kotori even more embarrassed, at first it was fine, but after being told by Honoka, she felt embarrassed for confessing first.
"That can be considered as my first confession," Ryuji said with a light smile.
"Hah?!" Kotori lifted her head in surprise, just in time to meet Ryuji's eyes.
"Confession is of course a man's responsibility, right, Kotori?"
"...En."
Currently, Kotori was feeling very happy.
