Why do earrings need pierced ears? Isn't it because they need to be fixed? But for Shiki, it was completely unnecessary. What was clearly just a thread clung tightly to her earlobe, and no matter how it swayed, it wouldn't fall off.
It was as if an invisible force was fixing it to her earlobe; Shiki was that uninhibited.
A hint of doting appeared in Shiki's eyes. Her furisode sleeves and the skirt behind her became longer, and the gardenia flower turned into a real flower.
But it wouldn't wither like other flowers. Shiki had locked its time; this was an ever-blooming gardenia.
'Hmm, that's enough. If I use too much power, that white guy will appear…'
Shiki was referring to the Heavenly Principles. Although that white-haired woman was an outsider, she had long since become intimately familiar with this world.
She wasn't afraid of the other party; she just found it a bit troublesome.
It was like a cockroach in the corner of a room. Although it was in the same space, no one wanted to see such a thing, and it was also very troublesome to deal with.
Shiki took one last look at herself in the mirror, elegant and beautiful.
She originally had no self-awareness or cognition, knowing everything in the world, yet lacking self-cognition and judgment. Wasn't that ridiculous?
Shiki maintained the operation of countless parallel universes in this way, until after an unknown period of time, a little fellow unexpectedly established a link with her.
The link was mutual. Because Shiki was in a near-death state during the connection, she received a large amount of concepts from death, and at the same time awakened her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
However, this concept of death was incomplete, containing information from the death concepts of countless parallel universes, which no human could comprehend.
But Shiki's memories were just a drop in the ocean to her, completely insignificant.
Thus, this existence that maintained countless parallel universes gained its own consciousness.
And this omniscient and omnipotent consciousness now resided within a girl, though she was mostly in a dormant state, watching everything in the world in the form of dreams.
After all, this was what she had always done before her consciousness was born.
'Emotions are a very peculiar power. You were once suppressed by an excessive amount of information. Now it's time to retrieve them.'
Shiki returned control of the body to Shiki. To be honest, she actually preferred long hair.
"Hmm?"
Shiki only felt her eyes close and open, and then something new was on her body.
First, there were the clothes that looked more charming, and the white earring on her right earlobe.
No need to think, it must have been her again, just like in the battle with Balladeer, leaving her with something and then leaving.
Only last time it was healing her body, this time it was clothes and an earring that didn't require pierced ears.
"Hoo…"
Taking a deep breath, Shiki stepped onto her geta and left the room. Accompanied by a clear ringing of bells, she greeted the girl waiting in the living room.
"Ayaka."
Ayaka, who was still fantasizing about what clothes the girl would wear, quickly looked up upon hearing the voice. The next moment, she stood frozen in place.
The girl's two small hands were nervously intertwined in front of her, and her usually calm face had a slight blush. Most importantly, her two straight, long legs, with their fair skin, formed a stark contrast with the black skirt.
The gradient skirt flowing down from behind made her long legs even more prominent, causing Ayaka's gaze to fix there the moment she saw the girl.
The black ribbon on her left ankle caught Ayaka's attention. It was like the ribbon tied around a gift box, tempting her to untie it.
Below that were her small feet. Shiki wasn't wearing *tabi* today; her slender toes were slightly curled, and her pale pink nails resembled fine coral pearls.
Moving the gaze upwards, the white clothing, identical to a traditional kimono, added a touch of cool, detached elegance to the girl.
Shiki naturally possessed that ethereal, cool, and classical beauty; she wasn't suited for seductive charm. Therefore, the upper half had to remain traditional to neutralize the allure displayed by the lower half.
Isn't this the essence of the so-called [Ryougi]? Two extremes, yet they coexist in perfect harmony.
Her B-cup size (slightly compressed by the kimono) was just right. The large black bow on her back contrasted sharply with the kimono, making the girl's waist appear even more slender, not to mention the fatal white earrings.
Ayaka felt like she had been hit directly in the vital spot; her little heart pounded rapidly. What was she seeing? Shiki, who always kept things simple, had actually worn bothersome accessories like earrings for her!
This was like Kujou Sara suddenly putting on makeup. Shiki's and Kujou Sara's styles of conduct were originally very similar, so this comparison was not inappropriate.
Oh, and the gardenia flower on her head, looking utterly real. One must remember that the flower language of the gardenia is... eternal love... Seeing Ayaka staring at her without speaking, Shiki suddenly panicked. Could it be... that she didn't like it?
"Um... does it look good?" Shiki asked cautiously.
"Huh? Yes, it does!"
Ayaka, roused from her trance, subconsciously nodded, and Shiki instinctively let out a sigh of relief upon hearing her reply.
Instinctive reactions often reflect a person's true thoughts. Clearly, Ayaka was already immersed in the girl's charm, and Shiki was delighted by the girl's affirmative response.
At the same time, an awareness sleeping in an unknown space curled its lips into a smile of relief. Sleep did not mean she was unaware of external events; she was watching all this in the form of a dream.
Sure enough, it still had to rely on her. It was truly difficult to bring these two together.
Jingle, jingle.
Shiki walked towards Ayaka. The clear sound of the bells was so noticeable inside the Kamisato Estate. Whether due to shyness or annoyance, she always felt an impulse to rip the bells off.
"Wear this outfit from now on. Don't change it," Ayaka suddenly said.
Shiki looked at the girl's icy blue eyes and nodded softly: "Mm, I'll listen to you."
Compared to the Shiki-nee who was immovably 160cm tall in the Type-Moon World, Shiki's height had increased slightly, either through the passage of time or the blessing of the Archon's Power.
She grew from 160cm to 165cm.
In a game setting, this would be a genuine "big sister" physique, though those big sisters usually wear high heels, so she definitely couldn't compare to them.
