After Sigmund left the chat, he began to spend time with Ciel . They walked along the beach, enjoyed the beauty of the evening sea, swam in it. They sat next to each other and enjoyed the sea breeze. They did not need more.
Ciel just wanted to feel the warmth of a human presence, and being with Sigmund was where she felt it the most. That's why she was happy with him.
However, she felt…
Strange.
Ciel felt strange and she couldn't figure out why. There was a constant feeling of discomfort in her chest about something.
Thanks to Sigmund's special technology, Ciel was able to connect to the internet. After the first "phenomenon" that happened a few months ago, humanity began launching satellites into space and using towers that reflected the signal from the upper layers of the atmosphere to keep the internet running. Sigmund somehow connected to the internet.
The previous phenomenon was relatively weak, but the very first one could have affected the Internet cables, disconnecting, for example, half of Asia from it, which is unacceptable for the global economy.
But even with full access to the internet, Ciel didn't understand why she felt discomfort. The internet kept giving her some illnesses or their symptoms, but Ciel knew she wasn't sick, Sigmund checked her every two days with kaido and a special capsule. Ciel couldn't be sick.
And since Ciel didn't understand anything, she decided to ask Sigmund.
- Zig, I don't know why, but sometimes I feel discomfort in my chest. Do you know why this might happen?
Ciel looked down at her chest. She was lying on a chaise lounge with Sigmund on top of her, so his head was in the hollow of her breasts.
Sigmund himself didn't think about it for long.
- And when do you feel this discomfort?
- I don't know, sometimes? With you and without you. Sometimes I just feel discomfort. Not heaviness, not a spasm or anything else. I feel... strange? I don't know how to explain it.
- Okay. And when you communicate with someone from the chat, do you feel this discomfort? You spend quite a lot of time in it.
- No. I don't remember that.
Ciel wondered what this would do for Siegmund. Despite his incredible intelligence, Ciel still considered Siegmund to be smarter than her. While she simply had a "powerful processor" but "bad drivers," Siegmund had an "average processor," "well-tuned and optimized drivers," and "operating methods and reference information." It was simply a difference created by experience that she could not easily overcome.
- I think you're just lonely. Every person is unique, different people need different amounts of interpersonal interaction. For example, a small circle of 2~5 people is enough for me to live comfortably. I can also feel comfortable being alone for a long time. But it seems that such interactions will not be enough for you.
Ciel understood this, it is no secret to her that humans are biosocial creatures, and therefore it is not comfortable for them to be alone. Unfortunately, Ciel was alone with Sigmund all this time.
- Then … How about going for a walk in the city?
Ciel hadn't asked this question before because her situation was still uncertain. Sigmund hadn't recognized her " manga personality " and therefore couldn't act with any freedom.
He was just worried that Ciel might be hunted.
And Ciel understood this, and besides, she had never felt any need to visit the city before.
- We can leave tomorrow morning, but I'll need to get ready. We can't go back to Japan right now since it's too late. Even though you can hardly be considered half-Japanese, I'm European. Even if people think you're my older half-sister or aunt, we'll still attract too much attention.
Sigmund spoke quite calmly, which calmed and gave hope to Ciel's heart . She really liked the confidence that Sigmund exuded. She felt that she could rely on him in any situation.
/ Perhaps this is what he was talking about when he said that a person should be reliable?
- Then what will you need to do? Can I help somehow?
Sigmund shook his head, gently massaging Ciel's breasts with his head. For some reason, it felt really good. Much better than if she were to simply massage her own breasts, like when she was putting on a bra. Ciel had been confused by this for a while, but the internet had helped her realize that it was normal. People liked to touch other people they liked. That was why Ciel hugged Sigmund so often. She still used him as a hug pillow .
- No, you can hardly help me. I will need to create a bracelet that will change our appearance for a direct observer. It will be useless against cameras, but people will not stare at us all the time . Although you can make us a quick snack before our walk.
This made Ciel's heart warm. She couldn't help but smile unintentionally.
- So … You and I are going on a date tomorrow?
To her surprise, Sigmund wasn't taken aback, he wasn't happy about the offer. Instead, he looked... Tired? The sigh that followed only reinforced that impression.
- Ciel , I'll be honest, I won't consider this walk as a date.
This phrase immediately upset Ciel .
- Why? You don't like me? Or am I not pretty enough?
Ciel really didn't understand the reason why Sigmund didn't want to go on a date with her. She watched a lot of movies and TV series, but in all of them, a guy and a girl go on a date because they like each other. First of all, because of the partner's external attractiveness.
And it must be said that Ciel was extremely confident in her appearance.
Few Playboy models were beautiful enough to TRY to compare with her in beauty! Ciel , like any other girl, was attentive to her appearance. She knew that she had large and beautiful breasts, a tight tummy, a big butt, long legs and a very cute face.
There is literally no reason to turn her down on a date!
Normal guys would start stuttering and blushing just from the sight of her!
Sigmund knew that such a conversation could happen. Sooner or later, but it was inevitable.
Sigmund stood up from Ciel and sat down opposite her so that they could see each other well.
- Ciel , first of all I want to say that I'm not ready for any kind of relationship yet. It's... It's very hard for me to break up with someone...
Ciel watched as the always confident and practically omniscient Sigmund tried to find…
Suitable words?
Courage to speak out?
At first, this scene threw Ciel off balance. She never expected to see such a picture, but she immediately understood what he meant.
- Because of Orihime ...
Sigmund is still upset about his breakup with Orihime .
Ciel does not know how exactly Siegmund parted ways with Orihime , whether it was death from old age, his transition to "Hell", or the fight against the Gotei , but she understands that this separation was mentally difficult for Siegmund.
He lived with her for almost 80 years.
Ciel can't imagine how much this is. She's only been alive for a few weeks, her previous comatose state can't even be considered life. She was "born" right in Sigmund's arms, she has the best feelings for him, however...
She had never seen the longing in his eyes before that she noticed just now.
No matter how menacing Sigmund seemed on the outside, he still remained a man with his own problems and experiences.
Now Ciel wanted to hit herself hard for even mentioning the topic of dating in front of Sigmund, but she also really wanted to comfort him.
She didn't know what to do or where to put her hands.
And Zig nodded his head.
- Yes, I still feel uneasy because she is not around. Despite the fact that I have been living in my new world for several years now... I miss her . She was one of the few who supported me in everything, believed in me unconditionally... I am ashamed to admit it, but I have a big problem with trust and establishing new connections.
Sigmund tried to keep a straight face, but a bitter smile still broke through his mask of detachment.
Ciel quickly understood what Sieg meant .
Siegmund cannot bring himself to form an emotional bond with those who do not trust him. In his past world, due to Aizen's actions , Siegmund himself was constantly suspected of using his Fullbring , distancing himself from him. His acquaintances in the past constantly suspected Siegmund of potentially controlling their lives and minds, which could not help but leave a mark on Siegmund himself. And it is because of this that Siegmund became so angry with Rias .
At some point, Ciel wanted to beat up Rias and the Shinigami from Sigmund's world because of this attitude.
/ But doesn't that mean I can take Orihime's place ?
Ciel thought it would be nice to become Sigmund's wife.
Sigmund tried to speak only to the point, so as not to drag out the conversation unnecessarily, and also not to create possible misunderstandings.
- So it'll take me a while to get used to the fact that Orihime is gone. As for a new relationship ... To be honest, you're a bit like Orihime , which complicates things.
-… Why? Wouldn't it make you feel better to have someone like Orihime around ?
- It will, but I'm trying to think about your feelings and our future. Thinking of you as just a "replacement" or "another Orihime "... It's just cruel to you. It will definitely hurt our relationship. But because you're similar, I sometimes compare you. I just need time to get to know you better and stop doing that.
Ciel listened attentively to Sigmund. At first, she really thought that taking Orihime's place would be good, but ... Would she be content with being just a replacement?
Most likely not.
But somehow, this made Ciel's heart warm. She was glad that Sigmund cared so much about her and her feelings. After all, he hadn't said he wouldn't date her.
- So we'll just have to get to know each other better ?
Ciel was filled with anticipation and hope.
- Not only that. I won't lie, you're a beautiful girl that many people can't even dream of, but... You're still too young. It's like dating a minor.
Zig's next phrase left Ciel stumped.
- What do you mean? I'm still little? But you yourself said that I quickly reached the level of an adult? Or are you worried that somewhere in this world there will be my "potential partner"? If that's what you mean, then I don't give a damn about him.
Ciel tried to convince Sieg to change his mind and restore his confidence. However, that was not what was bothering Siegmund.
- That's not the point. I don't care about this unknown "betrothed". We haven't even met him. It's just that you don't understand the concept of relationships very well yet. For example, can you tell the difference between a caring older brother and a father or an attentive boyfriend? They will all take care of you, but what is the difference between them?
Ciel thought about the last question, but… She still couldn't tell the difference.
- I don't know? Is there any difference between them?
- That's what I was talking about. There is a difference, especially in how they perceive you. A father will primarily make sure that you are provided with everything you need, primarily education and a roof over your head. A brother will look after you while you are growing up and make sure that you do not date someone bad. A father will do this too, but not as diligently, and an older brother will also help you in various other ways. A caring guy is fundamentally different from them in that he views you as a woman. A woman whom he will marry and start a family with. At the relationship stage, they will act similarly, but they will perceive you differently, and also have different goals in the relationship. Because you were alone, you do not have the necessary role model with whom you can compare me. For you, I can be a father, a caring older brother, and a beloved man ... Not to mention the fact that by entering into a relationship with me, you will immediately enter my family. You won't be able to move our relationship beyond kissing for at least another 8 years. As you know, I'm 6, almost 7, but that's not really important. What's important is that we won't be able to move beyond the "vanilla" stage for a long time. Not to mention confirming our relationship with my family. My mother would be horrified if she found out that her 6-year-old son was being molested by a girl 10 years older than him.
Sigmund tried to explain as gently as possible all the difficulties they would have to overcome together if they wanted to be in a relationship. Sigmund had bad luck with his family in previous lives. He was either a soul in rukongai or an orphan. This is the first life he can remember where he has caring parents. He can't help but love them back, trying to make them happy. Their opinions, especially his mother's, mean a lot to him.
Yes, if Ciel is his girlfriend, then he can convince Alice to try to accept Ciel as her daughter-in-law, but that's only if Ciel wants to be his girlfriend.
Ciel herself understood that she had problems too.
- How complicated everything is...
Ciel wanted to grab her head and start screaming in frustration. In her head, everything was much simpler and clearer!
Sigmund also knew that Ciel was upset by the new revelations. He lay down next to her and hugged her tenderly.
- I know. Relationships are complicated, but if we solve our problems, we can build a strong and happy marriage.
Feeling the warmth of Sigmund's touch, his spiritual pulse, Ciel began to calm down. She hugged him back.
- That's right, we'll just have to wait...
Ciel wrapped her body around Sigmund, holding him tightly. She knew they had all the time in the world, all she had to do was wait.
They didn't even notice how they fell asleep under the soothing warm breeze.
The next morning was a bit unusual. Sigmund wasn't used to getting up earlier than Ciel . Even though he was incredible, his childish body was still stronger than his desires and willpower, so he slept longer than Ciel . While Ciel slept and prepared a snack, Sigmund made some bracelets to distract people, and also began making an additional tool - a bow for himself. Quincies use Heilig Bogen for launching arrows from reishi . The penetrating power of such attacks is comparable to those of physical attacks with a sword, since in both cases charged Reishi .
Sigmund knows that with his current condition, he will have to constantly use powerful Kido will simply be harmful and dangerous, and therefore he uses such a crutch. One bracelet on his hand will collect reishi , Sigmund with the help of his Fullbring Ring of Communication will create the projectiles he needs: regular arrows, with explosives or special ones for a specific situation. Byakurai or any other kido has its own effective range, in addition, for a powerful Kido Sigmund will still need to strain himself. Arrows from Reishi have a much greater effective range and penetrating ability, and therefore with the same reiatsu charge will produce more power.
Sigmund doesn't intend to use Kurohitsugi against ordinary opponents, it's like shooting sparrows with a cannon, a couple of accurate shots will be enough against them.
Well, Sigmund also prepared a relatively large ruby, it was charged with Sigmund's magic and reiatsu , and there was also an indecent amount of various scanning and tracking kido on it . Despite the fact that Ciel herself asked to arrange a "walking date", Sigmund is not going to waste such a chance.
Roughly speaking, he is going to catch the "organizer" with live bait.
Of course, if it really exists.
But nothing can last forever. Sigmund finished with his inventions, and then went into the kitchen.
- Zig, are you ready yet?
Ciel had just woken up, but she had managed to make tea and some sandwiches.
- Yes, I'm ready. Now we'll have a bite to eat, after which we'll go into town.
Ciel was already getting ready for the walk. After Ciel woke up from the cool wind, she carried Sigmund to the bedroom, and then chose the best outfit to wear.
Even if he doesn't see it as a date, she still has to dazzle him with her charm!
She wore thin sandals, a red dress with straps, and a pink Panama hat. Because of the contrast in colors, her figure, especially her chest and legs, were once again emphasized.
- You look good, Ciel . This dress highlights your curves.
Sigmund also knows that women love with their ears, so he tries to compliment her when he notices new clothes. Not a big gesture, but a very nice one.
- Thank you! In the future, I will continue to please you with new outfits.
- I'll be looking forward to this performance.
Ciel was glad that her efforts were noticed and appreciated. A smile graced her already beautiful face.
Ten minutes later they had already crossed the Garganta and were heading to the administration. Sigmund didn't really bother with how exactly the "procedure for issuing a temporary ID" was going. This is Tokyo, a phenomenon had recently occurred, some electrical appliances and even substations had been damaged, and several thousand people had their passports destroyed. The administration was currently working in emergency mode.
Even the news said that some databases were damaged.
Therefore, no administration suspected anything strange in the fact that after a few weeks, "aunt and nephew" would come for temporary passports. While the administration processes their request, while it finds their data, while it issues temporary IDs, while it creates new ones, while it "copies old values" into a new database, while the old IDs expire, while they issue a new one and a debit card for them. And all this multiplied by "misunderstanding, ignorance and naivety of the aunt." So that's about how long it will take.
How did Sigmund manage to reproduce the work of an entire state apparatus over the course of several weeks?
Book of the End.
As a result, after 15 minutes, Ciel and Sigmund acquired a very rich past, a separate debit card, as well as two documents confirming their identity.
- I thought it would be more difficult.
Ciel couldn't help but be surprised by the work that was done so professionally.
- I have been using the Book of the End for several years now, and I have a rough idea of how the state apparatus of this country is structured. Forging documents is not the most difficult thing to do. Besides, it all fell on fertile ground.
Sigmund was very calm when answering this question. In the past, Chad had some problems due to racism, which Sigmund solved in various ways. Usually it was money, but sometimes there were very principled racists.
- Then why don't you use the Book of the End on me? That way we can get rid of the problem of our situation being uncertain.
Ciel really didn't understand the irrational reluctance to use Fullbring . Ciel had originally explained it as Sigmund not wanting to use it on anyone other than his enemies, but today had proven otherwise.
Sigmund also knew that this question would arise in the future.
- The thing is, I will never see that clerk again in my life. I didn't ruin his life in any way, he won't be hot or cold from what I did. Most likely, he has already forgotten about what he just did. With you, it's a different matter. You are not indifferent to me, I respect your personal life and your past. I will not use the Book of the End on you on principle, except in emergency situations, because I trust you. Wouldn't you be offended if I checked your past every day?
- Even if I myself allow you to do this?
Ciel felt good that Siegmund believed in her so much. She admits that she would be very sad and hurt if she knew that Siegmund thought of her as a frivolous, gullible cheater. However, she wants to understand Siegmund's thought process.
- All the more so. You see, I am very sensitive to relationships, even I am sometimes stunned by them... The thing is, I grew up in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Morals and society have changed dramatically. Even the thought process of people has changed ... Somewhere in the first quarter of the 21st century, studies were conducted in America, which revealed that every second girl in a relationship suffered from an "irrational" fear that their partner had cheated on them, but every third child in a marriage was not from her husband. And a little later, girls began to shout to the whole country about how dissolute they were, how many partners they had, how they cheated on their partners with their "friends" and so on ... Society itself was degrading and collapsing before my eyes. Moreover, it all started small, like the same irrational fear, although as it turned out, it was not irrational at all...
Ciel listened to Sigmund, and she became more and more disgusted by what she was listening to. She believed what Sigmund said, after all, he was very consistent in his words and actions, and he cared about her like no one else. The fact that Sigmund did not use the Book of the End on her only confirmed his words.
And she would have known about it if something like that had happened.
If Sigmund had been indifferent to her or the relationship between them had been that of strangers, he would have used the Book of the End.
Ciel was also mature and sensible enough to notice that girls were becoming more and more promiscuous, and so she believed in Siegmund's words ... However, she was sickened by the fact that modern girls were becoming so promiscuous. She simply could not imagine allowing anyone other than Siegmund to touch her so intimately.
The very thought of it disgusts her.
-… I got distracted somehow … No matter how hard we try to make our relationships "ideal", but because of the relationships of the people around us, a thought from the series "what if he/she is the same" will still arise. Therefore, I try to minimize all possible actions that can somehow confirm such ideas.
- I see ... That 's very kind of you. I didn't even think about it.
Ciel understood what Sieg was trying to say. He was simply minimizing any ambiguous actions that could stir up mistrust or jealousy in order to strengthen their relationship. Ciel didn't think she would ever look at other people's relationships and compare them to her own. She basically didn't care about people anymore.
They will die and they will die, why grieve?
It won't affect her herself.
After all, she herself is not human.
However, in matters of the heart, things are a little different. After all, she grew up collecting information from human society. So she does not exclude the possibility that she may behave in a similar manner.
- Listen, Sigmund, would you be happier if I dressed more... Modestly and conservatively? Still , I care about your feelings.
- If you do that, I'll be happy. However, you can still dress freely when we're alone.
Sigmund was very happy that Ciel suggested this.
What modern girl in his past life would have done this?
There were some, but there were very, very few of them. They simply got carried away shifting responsibility onto others.
After 15 minutes of walking through fairly busy streets, Sigmund and Ciel arrived at the largest jewelry store in the country. Using simple suggestion magic, Sigmund made the staff call the head of the department to make a deal. Ciel watched with interest what exactly Sigmund was doing, as she did not understand his logic.
With his abilities, wouldn't it be more logical to get money from a bank? To backdate the account so there are no problems, with the Book of the End it's quite simple. And they will become "real" after they are credited to the bank.
However, Sigmund decided to make a deal with a jewelry store, selling the ruby for 6,300,000 yen. Ciel knew from the TV series that this was quite a large sum, but she did not understand how much.
In the end, the jewelry store wrote them a check because they didn't have enough cash. Well, all such large transactions have to go through the bank at least after the fact.
After 20 minutes, Sigmund managed to cash the check and transfer the money to his debit card.
- Why did you do this? I just don't understand your logic.
- The thing is, even though I was a good economist, I can't launder such large sums of money out of thin air. If someone wants to check the history of transfers and payments from our card, it can be blocked for investigation due to suspicion of fraud. We don't need such "happiness". Even if someone looks through the history of our account, they will stumble upon a store that can confirm the honesty of the transaction, although they still clearly knocked down the price. In short, I gave away a ruby, which I literally use as a disposable tool to earn us money. And now, we can go on our date.
Ciel listened attentively to Sigmund, after which she was once again convinced that he was a very reliable partner. She did not think about how she could get money so as not to get a lot of problems later.
What Sigmund didn't say was that this operation would be under a microscope anyway. And if some "shadow organization" saw an unusual ruby, they would be followed. And then Sigmund would be able to figure out the situation. Ciel would still be safe, since he had cast so many protective kidō on her before leaving that even Aizen would nod his head in approval. And he was a real overcautious person.
- Well, where do you want to go first?
Sigmund mostly didn't care, since in his past life he had explored such cities up and down, especially when he was away on business trips. At such times, he was not lazy in using the Book of the End, so he had more than enough experience in such matters.
- Well, I don't know, I'm just interested in exploring the city. Where do couples usually go on dates?
Ciel had persuaded Sigmund to come here with a very specific purpose, she wanted to go on a date with him. In the movies and TV shows she watched, it was usually the guy who took the girl on a date. Well, she had absolutely no experience in such matters, but Sigmund did.
- Well, we agreed that this wasn't a date.
Sigmund wanted to understand why Ciel was so fixated on him. He admits that he is irresistible, but ... To that extent? Or is it the fault of his upbringing?
- I know you don't see this as a date, but it's a date for me. Is that okay?
For Ciel, this point was fundamental, and therefore she was not going to back down.
- Okay, whatever you say. If it's a date, then it's a date. And the main goal of dates is to get emotions.
Sigmund also realized that Ciel fundamentally considered this walk as a date. Sigmund himself has two views on relationships.
Relationships are a road that people take to meet each other. If one does not meet each other halfway, there can be no relationship. But this also does not mean that they are on the same path.
Relationships are a tug of war, in order to maintain balance you sometimes have to give in to your partner.
In this case, Sigmund makes a concession. For him, she is worth nothing anyway, and for Ciel , this is the first unforgettable experience of a relationship.
And unexpectedly for Ciel , the first destination was an amusement park.
- Why an amusement park? I thought you'd choose something like a movie or something.
- Well, I won't be allowed to see an adult movie because of my age, and it's unlikely that you'll see anything new, except for the atmosphere of the movie theater, the pleasant semi-darkness of the back rows, and the careful touches of hands during the film.
-… Actually, that's quite tempting. Why don't you use another illusion?
Ciel was somewhat confused by Sigmund's actions.
- No, it's complicated, it takes a long time and you have to refresh the illusion often. Besides, watching a movie without kissing is not the same. Who goes to the cinema on a date for a movie? If a couple likes the movie, then okay, both will get emotions, but a romantic movie? The best part of such movies is flirting, light caresses and kisses in the back rows, otherwise it's a waste of time. That's why they show such movies in cinemas between blockbusters. Couples love such movies for their privacy and atmosphere, and the atmosphere is better in a half-empty cinema.
Sigmund calmly explained the meaning of all romantic movies. And even Ciel agreed with these arguments. They could just watch a movie together at home, but that's ... Not it. Ciel feels the romance, but that's not what she wants.
Ciel also knows how to read between the lines, and so she realized that she wouldn't get any kisses until they started dating.
- But then what are the advantages of an amusement park? You won't be allowed on any of the rides because of your age.
- We won't go there, there are other interesting kiosks here. For example ... Well, right here at the entrance there is a whole section with arcade and gaming machines. Let's withdraw some money and play. If we can't win, I'll tell you the secret of the game.
- Oh? So every game here has a catch? Sounds fun.
Five minutes later, Sigmund and Ciel received a lot of coins to play in various machines.
- Here it is, the grabber or crane machine. One of the most popular slot machines, where for a symbolic sum you can try to win the desired toy. Will you try it yourself first or together?
- I'll try it myself first.
Ciel was confident in her skills, and her eye was excellent. She came on a date with Sigmund, the first toy would be a good reminder and trophy of this wonderful day.
Ciel aimed at a small blue teddy bear. It reminded her of Sigmund himself. He was small and cute, and soft, like any teddy bear.
The first unsuccessful attempt did not upset Ciel .
The second failure too.
The third failure left her a little upset.
The fourth failure made her angry, because she felt like she was making a fool of herself in front of Sigmund!
She wanted to hit that toy machine.
Fortunately, Sigmund was watching Ciel , and so he decided to help.
- Let's try it together. I'll operate the crane, and you'll lower it.
- Fine.
This time everything went much better, Sigmund aimed well, the crane grabbed the bear by the head, after which he began to drag him to the toy pit, but ... But the crane dropped the bear right next to the pit.
- But why? We almost got him...
Ciel was upset by this outcome. They worked so well together, why did they lose?
Sigmund smiled from start to finish. He was frankly touched by Ciel's lively facial expressions . She was as cute as his daughters when he took them to the amusement park.
- Remember, Ciel , you can do everything right and still lose, that's called life. By the way, we won.
After this, Sigmund brazenly dragged the bear into the pit with the help of his Bringer Light , after which he took it out and handed it to Ciel .
Ciel herself looked at the teddy bear in her hands, but she did not feel much joy from winning. This prize seemed to her... Undeserved.
- But is this fair?
- More than. If this machine was honest, it would not have become so popular, since it would not pay for itself. The thing is that after the device grabs the target, after some time or after it rises completely, the grip force will decrease. In different machines by different amounts. Usually it is from 10 to 30% of the initial force. Considering that we dragged this bear to the pit, it is fully deserved.
- Oh!? So they are crooks!
Ciel was outraged by the manufacturer's attitude! Initially, she felt guilty because of Sigmund's actions, but now she is angry at such methods!
The bear in her hands is completely deserved!
Sigmund just laughed.
- Ciel , here, except for the arcade machines, no one plays fair, and the arcade machines themselves often complicate the game, but for them this is only a plus.
Ciel realized that chasing prizes in such games is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the emotions that you get during and after the game.
And Ciel was pleased with the time she spent with Sigmund.
- Then we will try to find loopholes?
- This is the most fun.
For the next few hours, Sigmund and Ciel walked around the amusement park , finding new ways to win against unfair games.
- So, what could be unfair in this game? It's just a ladder, fastened at three ends?
- And you try to get to the end. You definitely won't succeed the first time.
And as Sigmund said, Ciel fell down the stairs.
- By the way, mister, you won't mind if I go up these stairs? I'll still win, right?
- Go ahead, just take off your shoes.
Sigmund quickly asked the shop owner for permission. Half a minute later, he calmly walked up the stairs, receiving the treasured toy to the applause of those around him. After that, the shop owner handed the toy to Sigmund.
Ciel was curious to know why she couldn't win.
- How did you win?
- Look, this ladder is fixed on three segments, and the first two are very close to each other. When your center of gravity goes beyond the balance line, the ladder turns over and you fall. When you go up several steps, the balance lines narrow. They become very close to each other. In fact, this is not a ladder, but a very specific rope. And therefore you need to walk on it as if it were a rope.
- Ah! So that's why I fell.
- Yeah.
Ciel didn't see the point in getting more toys, as she saw them as mementos rather than objects of interest. So Sigmund gave them to guys on dates with their less fortunate girlfriends.
Then the couple went to the department with slot machines, or more precisely to the dance machine "for two". Ciel and Sigmund paid for the game, and then began their "duel". Their "duel" attracted a lot of attention, but they didn't care.
Ciel emerged as the clear winner with a points lead of almost one and a half times .
- Ahahahaha , you moved your legs so funny when you danced! It was so touching and hilarious!
Ciel openly laughed at Sigmund's situation, because they were entering advanced levels, where you have to move your feet very quickly in time to the music, there were even special handrails for this ... Which Sigmund could barely reach, which made the whole situation look even funnier.
- Well, what can I say, I'm little Lord Farquaad .
- Oh, don't be offended.
- I'm not offended, it's just that he was so funny in that film.
Sigmund was not at all bothered by such an embarrassing scene; on the contrary, it amused him too.
They then went to a cafe, after which they went to karaoke, where they had fun for several more hours.
Somewhere in my faded memory, in the nooks and crannies of forgotten ideas, the memories have quietly faded, and I can no longer cuddle up to you as before.
Your gloomy appearance slowly flashes by the window again.
I will never forget that icy, gloomy look.
Unfortunately , I cannot challenge fate in this war, but I am not afraid, because I always believe in you with all my heart.
Somewhere in my faded memory, in the nooks and crannies of forgotten ideas, I believe, the secret is hidden from prying eyes, what we went through last time.
You helped me figure out without any difficulty what feelings were tormenting me.
Even if the world disappears without a trace, I will stay with you forever.
Everyone is downcast in this city（Dead or Alive）
where a dry wind blows through
My eyes sought for the light （Dead or Alive）
But all they saw was despair
My scream can't reach anyone
So stop me with very your hands that I 'm looking for
In this world where just about everything is broken
I never understood why
But I'm still scared of the kindness that I touched
There's a gaping hole in my heart
Are you the one who will fill it?
Make your choice, Date A Live
A dull pain aches in me （Dead or Alive）
It comes back again and again
At the end of this war （Dead or Alive）
Is despair all that's left?
No one can fix how I feel
So stop me with your very hands that I touched
In this world rejected by every single person
I can't find a way to stay here
without hurting anything
I don't know where to put my fading emotions
But will you accept them?
Please tell me, Date A Live
I waver in hesitation (between compromise and destruction)
I can't control myself (wandering alone)
Our own senses of justice cross paths
My anticipation grows (but the truth is)
I want to believe in you, if something is going to change
In this world where just about everything is lost
I felt like I could see something
at the tip of your outstretched hand for the first time
My vague feelings
may be awkward and making slow progress
But they're becoming more certain
My heart is in motion
Are you the one who will change it?
Make your choice , Date A Live
Change; I won't be bent and I won't be swept away
I want to stay honest to how I feel now
Change; I will be reborn, no matter how many times
Embracing even my sadness, I'll run
Encountering a surprisingly fun betrayal,I'm right here, unable to be captured
It isn't enough and it doesn't end; well, distort me more
In such a repetitive world as this, I sometimes lose sight of who I am
I don't want to fit in the frames, so don't make my decisions
I'll walk down the pathless road
Even if I stay here, even if I wait, nothing would begin
Change; I won't be bent and I won't be swept away
I want to stay honest to how I feel now
I won't let it go the way someone wants it to
Change; I will be reborn, no matter how many times
Embracing even my sadness, I'll run
I can never return to you again
The way I want me to, I wanna change
Why do you hesitate so much- and where are you who are not satisfied?
It doesn't disappear and it doesn't rust; make me houl more
The world I realize because I've changed, will project my current self
In the future you think of, what is projected?
I'll go to the loveless tomorrow
Don't hold me back, even if I miss it, I want to go ahead
Change; I won't stop and I won't look back
I want to always be searching for the truth
I think I can hold even tears dear to me
Change; I won't forget and I don't want to lose it
So embracing even my happiness, I'll run
Even if I stray away from you
The way I want me to, I wanna change
If I am changed, you will be there
If you are changed, I will be there
Change, change; I'll run
Change; I won't be bent and I won't be swept away
I want to stay honest to how I feel now
I won't let it go the way someone wants it to
Change; I will be reborn, no matter how many times
Embracing even my sadness, I'll run
If I can see the same view with you
I want to go back to you someday
The way I want me to, I wanna change
Surprisingly, Ciel had an amazing voice and talent as a singer. After the first hour of regular songs, they switched to the "author's" mode, where they can sing as they want to, with ready-made music to choose from.
Well, after that there was a late dinner at another fast food store like McDonald's or KFC, followed by an overnight stay in a rented hotel room.
Sigmund expected that the "shadow organization" would already be on their trail to get Ciel back , but this did not happen.
Just like the next time, and the third, fourth, and even fifth time...
Ciel generally tried to drag Sigmund out on a date at least once a week, Sigmund agreed to once every three days, since he had time to do everything necessary for himself, but there were no results.
Well, after a month and a half of living in Ciel's world , Sigmund decided to return to his world. Since Ciel had nothing to hold on to in her world, she asked to go with him. Sigmund didn't see anything wrong with that, since there was a high probability that he had simply gotten into the plot of another anime too early , and therefore getting anything useful from that world would be problematic.
Surely Sigmund wouldn't try to get gold or rubies in this world, given that he wouldn't be able to transport them properly?
And since Sigmund was quite smart, he decided to try to bypass the chat restrictions.
- Listen, Zig, are you sure these machines will work at all?
Ciel watched as Sigmund adjusted the modified Kuukaku cannon. Shiba and the Reiatsu Enhancement Machine . In Sigmund's world, the Soul King's Court was not just an island floating above Seireitei , but a separate dimension connected to the other three worlds. Yhwach used Seireitei as a launch platform to enter the palace because after the massacre of the first day, the balance of the three worlds was most disturbed there, and therefore the easiest way to get to the palace was from there. Mayuri and Kuukaku used modified versions of their inventions to break into the palace. Mayuri had Garganta and the Reiatsu Enhancement Machine , and Kuukaku had her cannon and special ball.
Reiatsu amplification machine to increase his maximum power and stability. Gargants . And the Kuukaku cannon to give the maximum initial impulse to overcome the "gravity" of this world and go through the Garganta to your world. Together they will have to create a path along which in the future it will be possible to move between worlds.
Variant of the Separator of Worlds.
- I'm sure! All my other technologies work exactly the same. Including those that work on the principles embedded in these machines. If I fail to outsmart Chat, it's no big deal. I have several levels of protection. The first level will be the world itself, if it doesn't allow this, then nothing will happen. Although I suspect that the "phenomenon" is somehow connected to space, which increases our chances of a successful journey. The second level will be special vests that I have prepared. They will save us if anything happens. The third level of protection is my personal power. I am strong enough to distort reality on a small scale with my Fullbring , so in the worst case scenario, I will protect us with my power. The fourth level is the Garganta itself . Even if all the previous levels of protection fail, we will still remain in the Garganta , since it is, by its nature, a one-dimensional space. Entrance and exit. We will simply not have an exit point, but I can tune it to this world. Well, the fifth level of protection is the Chat itself. In the worst case, we just use the function of moving to my home world. We have enough OD for this.
Such a detailed explanation calmed Ciel down , and so she no longer asked about the safety of this process.
- What about the chat broadcast? We don't watch anything except Mio 's training . I think that the transition between worlds will be interesting enough to get extra OD for it.
-… I somehow didn't think about that. You see, for me these transitions are natural. Before, I could do this a hundred times a day.
Ciel understood Sigmund's situation. Blaming him was mostly pointless, because it was a lack of mental capacity.
- I understand, but that's what close people are for ... So are you going to record the broadcast?
- Don't you want to do it yourself? It's your idea.
- I don't think I should do something like that. The idea to create something like that was yours. You created the machine, you also configured it. Besides, you spent precious OD for me, although you yourself need them to obtain the "Incubus" race. I'm not in such a hurry, so you should start the broadcast.
Ciel thought sensibly, she also thought it would be fair if Siegmund got the OD for her efforts, and not her. She had been saving them up non-stop all this time. Since Sieg's arrival, she had managed to save up 140 OD, not to mention the 225 OD she had when Siegmund arrived. She should have the most OD now. Ciel was currently saving up OD to buy Visored ( Arrancar ), and that would require 3000 OD, or 1200 days. That's a little over three years.
The density of space in her world is the highest, and therefore more time passes here than in other worlds of Chat.
- Well, thanks for the concession. I'll try to do something useful for you that will make you stronger.
Sigmund felt a little ashamed to leave Ciel without a "gift". Despite his problems, he considered himself the strongest in the chat, and therefore he could wait for the moment of his strengthening. However, he knew that Ciel was quite stubborn, and therefore if he did not start the broadcast, then she would not do it either.
It would be better if at least he got OD.
- I would be grateful!
Ciel was happy not because of the fact that Sigmund would make some cool artifact or mystical code for her, but because of the fact that Sigmund would do something for her.
After half an hour of preparation, Sigmund turned on the live broadcast.
Naturally, the chat immediately came to life.
Pedobear's Wet Dream : Onii-chan started broadcasting?
Best Rape Target: Is It Something Significant?
EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Yeah, I've put together a couple of things that could potentially help me not waste my OD every time I move around chat worlds. Basically, I'm building my own version of Seikamon and the World Divider.
Gender Equality Supporter: Wow ! You're quite the nerd! By the way ... I can't believe you're so small! I thought you'd be older.
Alabama's Tragic Love: Really? I think he's pretty cute .
Sweet Slime: It's hard to argue with that, but ... Unlike you, we already had an image of Sigmund formed... Now it's been destroyed.
Saeko also thought Sigmund was very cute, she wanted to pinch his cute cheeks and pat his head, as her maternal instincts woke up.
Sadistic dominatrix #1: Now I believe that your body simply can't handle your strength. Can you even do one push-up?
Esdeath didn't care about Sigmund's age. Yes, she found him cute, but nothing more. Yes, one of her criteria for an "ideal partner" was that he was younger than her. But everything has a limit!
EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Not really. The thing is that the physical body itself limits my strength. Even in the previous world, I couldn't accelerate beyond 100 machs because of the physical body, when in the form of a soul I easily accelerated beyond 1000 machs.
Pedobear's Wet Dream : Okay, in our world it's the other way around, well ... For demons, heroes can still be stabbed with a normal knife since they're humans. And I wonder, when you get my bloodline, will you get gravity magic or some of my traits?
Alabama's Tragic Love: I wouldn't mind if he grew a tail. I'm sure he'd look cute with it.
Ciel cared about.
The others were a little confused by this answer, except Maria.
Pedobear's Wet Dream : Ohohoho , trust me, succubi have very handy horns. And very long tongues.
The sexual undertone of this phrase oozed out along with Maria's arousal. She doesn't know why, but the very image of a very skilled in bed Shota -incubus who is her Onii-chan excites her...
Best Rape Target: Maria, have you been reading another Hentai ? Although you know what? Don't answer, the answer is already obvious... Ciel , don't listen to her. And about Sigmund... I'm sure he'll look cute with horns and a tail.
Mio had gotten to know Maria well during all that time. She was used to Maria's sudden fits of arousal. As for the comment about appearance, there was nothing surprising about it. Selection over thousands of years had made Sigmund very handsome, and now he was cute enough that even demon horns would look cute on him. Only a thick layer of makeup could ruin that cuteness.
EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: I think I'll still gain some traits. Probably horns or something. The shape of the horns is unique to different demon families. And the Spirit Races don't follow such rules, except for those who were born into the Soul Society.
Sigmund wasn't bothered by the discussions about his appearance. He would grow up faster than all of them anyway, so... What was 7 or 8 years old to him? Long enough, but not too long to wait.
Illogical Exhibitionist: Prince Charming is praised once again.
Rias was still upset with Siegmund for last time. She expected that even after such humiliation, he would apologize and ask for forgiveness for such behavior, but no! He started laughing at such a thought!
EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: You can be jealous as much as you want, Izma .
Rias 's eyebrow twitched at this address.
How could he even compare her to the envious old, decrepit witch from the children's cartoon?!
Illogical exhibitionist: How could you!?
Gender Equality Advocate: People, let's not start another squabble here.
Sweet Slime: We are here to see if Sigmund can bypass the Chat restrictions or not. We can leave comments for later.
Saeko and Kazuma were the only normal people who didn't like the bickering between Siegmund and Rias . The incompatibility between the two had been quite pronounced since their serious conversation a month ago, after which they both tried to tease each other.
Well, the others were interested in watching these two argue. Even Mio was enjoying watching such a performance, although before she would have been next to Saeko and stopped the quarrel.
But if Rias is involved in the dispute ...
Her happy copy, who in her opinion is a spoiled princess?
Mio will watch this with great pleasure.
Maria is a demon of passions, she generally likes to arrange something "fun and funny". In the end, to make Basara eat Panties for breakfast and with a serious face say that they will become protein and go into his muscles, because of which he will become stronger...
You have to be able to do this.
For Esdeath, such disputes are the norm.
Ciel, on the other hand, sees Rias as a circus monkey. After all, she's pretty unreliable, and therefore doesn't deserve sympathy.
EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Okay . I'll give you 10 seconds, then I'll turn on the machine. Ready?
Pedobear's Wet Dream : Come on, Onii-chan !
Illogical Exhibitionist: I will enjoy your failure.
Sweet Slime: I will hope that everything will be okay with you.
Best Rape Target: Fingers crossed for success.
The reactions in the chat were divided into three camps: Rias , the kind and nice people, and the realists.
After 10 seconds, the machine turned on, the cannon fired, and Sigmund opened the Garganta .
Ciel's inexorable advancement through space and time continued, after which the chat began to see countless pictures of potential worlds to travel to, but Siegmund chose only one. The next two minutes were very exciting for the chat, but they realized that Siegmund's machine had worked!
She was able to create a corridor between worlds!
Caladbolg II
The first thing that his home world gave Sigmund was Caladbolg in the face.
