Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1442: Exchange Conference (It Was Freezing on Heavenly Mountain Today)

As each day passed, the public testing day of the amusement park finally arrived.

”Nanoha, how does this outfit look on me? Is there anything inappropriate about it?”

Fate stood somewhat uneasily in front of a full-length mirror in a black lace dress, then asked softly. Nanoha stood next to Fate, looking at her with satisfaction.

”Hmm, you look so cute in this, Fate, it’s absolutely perfect.”

”Thank you......”

Hearing Nanoha’s response, Fate showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

”You’re really cute too, Nanoha......”

While Nanoha and Fate were discussing their clothes, Little Sakura was looking at Shisei with a troubled expression.

”Shisei...... do I really have to wear this?”

”Of course!”

Looking at Little Sakura, Shisei flashed her usual joyful smile.

”This is the grand debut of Cardcaptor Sakura in front of everyone, you have to dress a bit more splendidly.”

”But, this.........”

Looking at the outfit Shisei had designed, Little Sakura didn’t know what to say. The outfit in front of her was no different from what Shisei and she had designed before, but usually she only wore it when capturing Clow Cards or during battles. But now, she was going to attend a banquet, and dressing like this felt utterly embarrassing!

While everyone was chit-chatting noisily, the door opened again, and in walked a girl wearing a pitch-black Gothic dress and a pure white mask with long strides. A dark, malevolent aura accompanied her entrance, coupled with her blood-red eyes, creating an otherworldly demonic shock.

”Hehehe......”

The girl extended her hand, pressing her cheek, her lips curved in a slight smile.

”Finally, the day has come when the dark powers within my body will awaken......!”

”............”

”............”

The four of them stared dumbstruck at the straight-haired girl in black, not knowing what to say for a moment. But shortly after, dressed in a white formal dress, Eiriri stormed in, grabbing the collar of the long-haired girl in black.

”Hold on, Black Cat, are you going out like that to embarrass us? Get back here!”

”How can this be embarrassing? This is my Fallen Saint Black Cat’s formal wear from a past life......”

”If someone sees this, they’ll question our taste, change it now!”

With that, Eiriri dragged Black Cat out, shutting the door with a ”click.” Watching the closed door, Little Sakura blinked, then looked again at the outfit in Shisei’s hands...... Well, suddenly it seemed more acceptable?

”This really is a chaotic scene.”

Sitting in the living room, Shana sipped her drink, watching the girls run around in a frenzy. Unlike Natsuse, Nobiru, and the others who were focused on their attire, Shana wore her usual plain sailor uniform, with her black coat on top, looking no different from usual. As a Fire Mist Warrior, Shana never really cared about dressing up, so she naturally wouldn’t change outfits just because of Fang Zheng’s invitation.

However, at that moment, a voice identical to hers came from behind Shana.

”Oh dear, Shana, are you really attending the banquet dressed like that?”

Hearing this voice, Shana’s brows furrowed, and she stood up abruptly, looking behind her.

”What I wear is none of your business...... Wait, what are you wearing?”

Standing behind Shana wasn’t just anyone; it was the Vampire. But unlike the usual shameful and vulgar attire Shana found so embarrassing, the Vampire was now wearing a black, form-fitting wedding dress. Through the thin, black fabric, you could vaguely see the white skin underneath......

This is even more vulgar than usual! You’re actually bold enough to show up looking like this? Don’t you have any sense of shame?

”What is the meaning of this attire?”

”Haha, do you really need to ask?”

Faced with Shana’s inquiry, the Vampire proudly puffed her chest.

”Because I’m the Commander’s secretary ship, doesn’t that basically make me the Commander’s bride? Given that, there’s nothing wrong with dressing like this, is there?”

”Hurry, change it now, this outfit is utterly shameless.”

”Hehehe......”

However, facing Shana’s anger, the Vampire merely chuckled softly.

”I refuse, for this is my attire, unlike someone as unsophisticated as you. The line of love connects me and the Commander...... ah......”

”Stop using my voice to say such lovey-dovey crap!”

”Don’t imitate me, and besides, I won’t be a tsundere like you!”

”Who are you calling a tsundere!”

The whole suite was in chaos, while on the other side of the street, Furutega Rika and her friends were staring in amazement at the scene before them, utterly speechless for a moment.

”Whoa...... is this the Heavenly Dao Palace?”

Looking at the massive ship floating in the sky and the science fiction city ahead, Keiichi excitedly clenched his fist and raised his hand high.

”YEAH! This is awesome! It’s even better than a Hollywood blockbuster!!”

”Hey, Keiichi, keep it down a little.”

Watching the excited and boisterous Maehara Keiichi, Mion, standing next to him, felt a bit embarrassed and pulled him back. Only then did Maehara Keiichi return to normal.

And just at that moment, a voice was heard.

”Excuse me, are you with Miss Furutega Rika?”

Upon hearing this voice, the group hurriedly looked over, only to see a girl with pitch-black twin-tails standing quietly at the side of the street, smiling at them.

”Ah, that’s us. May I ask who you are...?”

”I am Tokisaki Kurumi. I will now lead you to the venue, please follow me.”

As she spoke, Tokisaki Kurumi gestured, and everyone followed her, walking down the street.

”Bang bang bang------!!!”

Colorful fireworks exploded in the air, accompanied by lively, cheerful music, as Amagi Brilliant Park reopened.

Due to Delian’s suggestion, Fang Zheng specifically hired a few young girls from the School of Illusions to handle the fireworks here, and naturally, Delian participated as well.

After all, the reason this Young Lady learned School of Illusions spells back then was to have everyone merrily release fireworks together.

Soon, the amusement park was full of guests, with laughter and cheerful voices everywhere. And Fang Zheng stood on the balcony of Maple Red Castle, watching everyone below joking and chatting as they walked towards him.

Speaking of which, I’ve been in this world for a long time now...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng turned and looked behind him, seeing Nymph, Black Katie, and Tilia standing quietly, watching him.

”Is there something bothering you, Elder Brother?”

Seeing Fang Zheng turn his head, Tilia asked curiously, while Fang Zheng shook his head.

”No, nothing’s wrong, it’s just... getting lively.”

Fang Zheng looked at Nymph, then smiled slightly. He still remembers the first winter he was reborn into this world, hiding in the mountains with Nymph. At that time, Fang Zheng had just clashed with Sanctuary and then found a cabin in the mountains to stay with Nymph for several days. Thinking back, it seems there wasn’t a New Year celebration... After all, Fang Zheng took Nymph to the Ironblood World after that, and when they returned it was already spring.

Yet now, another year has passed, and the people around him have only grown in number.

”???”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Tilia was a bit puzzled, Black Katie remained silent, and Nymph blinked, then quietly looked at Fang Zheng.

Day by day, while muddling through, another year has passed.

Although Fang Zheng celebrated the New Year in other worlds, to him, only in this world, with everyone together, does it feel like a true New Year’s celebration.

Well, even though it’s still far from New Year’s now.

”Lord Fang Zheng.”

At this moment, Latifa also walked over.

”The guests you invited have all arrived.”

”Got it, I’ll head there now.”

Upon hearing Latifa’s words, Fang Zheng nodded, then turned around, leading Nymph and the others inside, entering the opulently decorated hall.

The hall was also crowded with people, and although it wasn’t a holiday or New Year’s, meeting people from different worlds made everyone somewhat curious. At first, there was a bit of constraint, but after chatting for a while, they quickly grew familiar.

Of course, usually, people of similar ages have easier conversations, like His Majesty playing happily with Anya, Midori, and Nobiru. As Young Lady, Asuna, and clan leader Fiore also chatted enthusiastically, while Furutega Rika was playing with the Fang Family’s little kitten nearby.

”Brother.”

Seeing Fang Zheng approach, Sora happily waved at him, then glanced at Tilia behind Fang Zheng—the distinction between a biological sister and an adopted one inevitably exists among ”sibling-like members.”

”Thank you, Sora.”

Looking at the girl before him, Fang Zheng smiled and patted her head. You know, this banquet, from setup to planning, was all completed by Sora alone. It seems Sora wasn’t unintelligent, she was just spoiled and lazy in the World of Love. If she wanted to accomplish something, she could easily do so.

”It’s nothing.”

Facing Fang Zheng’s praise, Sora squinted contentedly like a cat being stroked.

”So, can we start now?”

”Let’s begin.”

Upon hearing Sora’s query, Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, then replied.

Then, he walked to the railing, looked at the venue below, and clapped his hands.

In the next instant, the entire venue suddenly turned pitch black.
