"You feel that I've changed a lot during this period, and I can understand that, but I don't want it either. After all, constantly restraining myself from becoming stronger, while at the same time being so powerful that I have no opponents, it would be strange not to feel depressed."
Mikan at this moment didn't know how to comfort him, mostly because she couldn't experience the so-called pain in Shiro's heart.
"No wonder you've changed so much in the last two years. That's because you're too bored. Precisely because of extreme boredom, you became like this."
Although Mikan couldn't fully understand it, she grasped the logic. It wasn't complicated — this guy's power made him the strongest in this universe, and then he could no longer continue to grow stronger, which was both painful and terribly boring.
"Yes, you could put it that way. That's why I usually seal my power and act like an ordinary person. Even if I removed that, then I really don't know what I'd do with the rest of my days."
After hearing that, Mikan felt that this guy took his blessings for granted. Still, she wasn't in a position to tell him that, because she actually didn't understand the way such people think.
After all, she wasn't some battle-obsessed monster, just an ordinary girl.
"From what you said, the power you left behind from your previous life was already that strong. Then how did you die?"
Otherwise, Mikan wouldn't have asked such a question, but Shiro was different. It made her quite curious: logically, how could someone so powerful die?
Shiro felt a twinge of discomfort as soon as he heard that. At first, he really wanted to ask: "Is that polite?" Then, thinking that the question referred to himself, he let it go. But there was a more important problem — what's the answer? He really couldn't say, "I'm deceiving you, I'm a transmigrator," right? That would definitely lead to a new barrage of questions.
"You're asking me, so who else would I ask? I didn't absorb any of those memories. Maybe I just couldn't defeat someone and died. After all, dying in defeat isn't unusual, right?"
Mikan thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible.
"Oh, by the way, Mikan, there's something I should mention to you, just in case later you can't find me and start worrying that something happened to me or something."
Shiro decided to explain. After all, he wasn't a lone wolf coming and going as he pleased. In a situation where he has a family, he had to let one or two trusted people know what was going on.
Mikan didn't interrupt him after hearing his words. Instead, she blinked, looking as if she was about to start some performance.
"Haven't you noticed that my mood has been better lately? Especially these last two days, because I came across something quite interesting."
Mikan's eyes were also full of doubt and curiosity. What could make this guy so happy?
"Chat Group, full name 'Myriad Worlds Chat Group.' That thing can connect people from many different worlds to talk to each other, or let them go to other worlds."
"And I will have missions, for example, if someone's world in the group is attacked or destroyed by some external factors, I must go and help."
Mikan was stunned when she heard that, then expressed her feelings.
"That's really incredible. By the way, what does it mean that you're telling me all this?"
"Cough, cough, cough. I just wanted to say that it's possible that sometimes you won't be able to find me, and in that case, I'll definitely be in another world."
"So there's no need to worry too much. If you're really concerned, go look for Yukino."
Mikan was confused when she heard that name. She searched her memory and realized she didn't know anyone named Yukino.
"Can you be a bit more specific about who you mean? Maybe I don't know all your friends."
Shiro saw the other side complaining in a slightly annoyed tone and realized he had said the wrong thing.
"Cough, cough, cough, sorry, sorry, I'm used to saying Yukino, but you can go to her."
Mikan frowned after hearing that, thinking deeply, feeling that the name was familiar. After a short moment of thought, she had a flash of realization.
"You mean Yukino Yukinoshita, who sits next to you, right?"
"Yes."
"Why would I go to her?"
"Emmm… she also has a Chat Group and joined even earlier than me."
Mikan was astonished by this, and then her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Can more people from one world join that thing? By the way, can I join too?"
"I'm not sure. As for whether more people can join, I don't know either, because I might be some unexpected factor."
"Honestly, I feel that if Yukino hadn't acted strange yesterday, constantly looking at me, which made me realize something was wrong and examine her, I might not have been able to join this Chat Group at all."
After hearing that, Mikan felt that everything had become incredibly magical.
"What's the relationship between you two? Why would you examine someone for no reason? It's not like you just sensed it."
Shiro thought for a moment and came up with an acceptable excuse.
"It's not that. The main thing was that Yukino that day behaved out of her usual pattern, constantly looking at me. And usually, she keeps her distance from me, the farther the better, because you know my situation very well."
"That's why she always considered me a perverted scoundrel."
Mikan also covered her forehead, looking like she had a headache.
"Seriously, you're so strong, so why are you like this? I even suspect that you deliberately create this 'happy pervert' personality to enjoy everyday life?"
Mikan had previously thought that this guy had some unfortunate constitution, but now she no longer thought so. Subconsciously, she wondered if he did it on purpose.
Shiro felt helpless and unjustly accused after hearing her assumptions, even more unfairly than by Dou E.
"I really don't do it on purpose. This is different. Power is power, but this situation with me is a concept."
"And it's a supreme concept, such that my power simply cannot erase it."
"Think about it, originally I wanted to live a normal, everyday life, the path of an exceptional male protagonist, but somehow I ended up on the path of a happy pervert."
"Don't you see? Besides those from the same class or my childhood friend I grew up with and who knows me well, who else is willing to get close to me? Wherever I go, girls form a complete isolation barrier."
Shiro looked like he was on the verge of tears as he said this.
Mikan looked at him, seeing that he himself was on the verge of tears, and had to admit that it seemed he really had a problem, and that it wasn't something he imposed on himself, but something that happened passively to him. After all, a normal person wouldn't make themselves like this, right?
"I have to say, from your explanation, it seems that you are really quite unhappy."
Mikan couldn't help but comment at this moment.
"What sins did you commit in your past life to end up like this?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know!"
Shiro's face also darkened, but not because of this concept, but because he remembered the damned Transmigrator Association.
Every time he mentioned something from his past life, he couldn't help but recall the messed-up things the Transmigrator Association had done.
"In short, I can't control this situation!"
What else could Mikan say when she saw his stance? She could only trust him, because after all, he still had some bottom line.
Moreover, if this guy really wanted to do something bad, he wouldn't need to do it in this way. Wouldn't it be easier for those girls to constantly throw themselves at him?
Mikan thought about it, and both of them sighed in relief, thinking it was a good thing that this person still had morals and wasn't completely corrupt.
Shiro looked at her suddenly relieved expression and had a feeling that she was thinking about something improper.
"What's with that relieved expression on your face, what the hell does it mean?"
At that moment, Shiro couldn't help but extend his sinful hands through the mist and pull her by the cheeks.
