She rushed over anxiously, tears welling in her eyes, clearly very worried.
"Sister...brother-in-law, you...you're bleeding."
How to do?
"How...how should it be treated..."
Rikka, who had followed, was flustered when she saw Zhongli covered in blood.
I have absolutely no idea what to do.
I was so anxious I almost cried.
Zhongli, who was sitting cross-legged to rest, saw two little girls beside him who were about to cry.
He waved his hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, it's already healed."
It was indeed a minor injury.
For Zhongli, who possessed the dual supernatural powers...
Unless you beat him so badly that not a single piece of flesh is left.
He can then slowly recover by drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
Skin tears, muscle ruptures, and bone shattering are all minor injuries.
"But Lord Demon Lord, you are covered in blood."
"Yes, brother-in-law, let's go to the hospital quickly."
Sanae Dekomori and Rikka Takanashi are still worried.
Seeing this, Zhongli found it amusing and rubbed the two little girls' heads.
"You've forgotten, I can resurrect people."
"I can even revive myself, let alone heal this little injury."
The two little ones, whose heads were being ruffled, realized what was happening when Zhongli mentioned resurrection.
Yes, if it can even revive itself, how could it not heal its own injuries?
Once they confirmed that everything was alright, Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori looked at Zhongli with renewed admiration.
And he didn't care at all about the bloodstains on Zhongli's body.
The two little girls rushed over and hugged Zhongli, their faces full of excitement.
"Demon Lord, Demon Lord, your last shot was so cool."
That god-slaying demon gun, the end of the gods.
With a whoosh, he threw it, killing the giant instantly.
"Yeah, my brother-in-law is super handsome."
And the one who threw away a lot of weapons was also very cool.
The sky was filled with swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.
The fox god was killed in one blow.
Sanae Dekomori and Rikka Takanashi are really excited right now.
The first time I encountered an extraordinary being, it was in such an intense battle.
And the moves are so cool, each one sparking with lightning.
It's even cooler than their usual imaginative fantasies.
I could feel the two little girls jumping around excitedly on my body.
Zhongli was in a very pleasant mood.
He gently patted Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori's heads to soothe their excited emotions.
"Okay, don't get too excited."
Now that everything's settled, I'm going to take you home.
At this point, Zhongli's expression gradually became serious, and he began to lecture.
"Also, don't do these kinds of adventure activities in the future, okay? They're very dangerous."
"I was able to get here in time to save you this time, but I might not be able to next time."
Take the current state of spiritual revival, for example.
Exploring all sorts of rumored mysterious places is practically tantamount to courting death.
Upon hearing the lecture, Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori stiffened, their little heads involuntarily lowering.
They also realized the dangers of this expedition.
Especially Sanae Tokomaru, who felt a surge of fear when she thought about how she had died once.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she apologized softly.
"I'm sorry, Demon Lord."
Sanae won't do it again next time.
Upon seeing Sanae Dekomori admit her mistake, Zhongli's expression softened slightly, and he nodded.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. Knowing you're wrong makes you a good child."
As he spoke, he patted Sanae Tokomori's little head in a comforting manner.
Then Zhongli looked at Rikka Kotori, and his expression became serious again.
Seeing this, the little bird swam among the six flowers and immediately whispered an apology.
"Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong too."
“No, Rikka.
Did you apologize to me?
You need to find your sister, Shihua.
"If it weren't for your sister Shihua reminding me, I wouldn't have had a chance to save you."
Upon hearing this, Rikka Takanashi suddenly looked up, her little face filled with terror, her voice trembling.
"Sister...she knows?"
Zhongli nodded and explained.
"Of course your sister knows."
She's the one who told me to come and save you.
And Rikka, you were able to withstand being bitten by the fox god for so long without getting hurt.
It's all thanks to your sister who prepared ten figurines for you.
Ten spirits will take the damage for you.
Upon hearing this, Rikka Takanashi thought of her older sister and the 10 dolls that used to be placed in her room.
It turns out that her not getting injured wasn't due to luck, nor was it because she was special.
This is all thanks to the protection her older sister gave her.
For the first time, Rikka Takanashi felt guilty towards her older sister.
No longer treating her older sister as a potential enemy, the Holy Healer.
"Okay, brother-in-law."
I'll apologize to my sister when I get back.
Zhongli nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Rikka had truly realized her mistake.
"Alright, I'll take you all home first."
With that, Zhongli rode the demonic coffin away from the ruined battlefield.
After delivering Sanae to her neighborhood, Zhongli also gave the little girl a protective magic item.
Sanae Tokomori was incredibly excited at the time.
She hugged him and kept jumping around, repeatedly calling him the best Demon Lord.
As for why we gave them ritual implements?
After all, he is a chosen one, and he has encountered the supernatural. It's only a matter of time before he awakens his spirituality.
Zhongli naturally wanted to bring Sanae Tokomaru under his command.
What's more, Sanae Dekomori herself admitted that she was his left-wing apostle. Ha!
After dropping off Sanae Dekomori, Zhongli flew back to her apartment with Rikka Takanashi.
On the way, the little bird swam around in six directions, its eyes glancing at Zhongli from time to time.
Zhongli naturally sensed this and turned to ask curiously.
"Hey Rikka, just say what's on your mind."
Upon hearing the question, Rikka Takanashi hesitated.
Zhongli did not urge him, but waited quietly.
After a long while, Rikka finally made up her mind to speak.
"Brother-in-law, can you bring my father back to life?"
After saying that, Rikka Takanashi looked at Zhongli nervously.
Rikka Takanashi's biggest wish is actually to meet her father.
But after witnessing the extraordinary and Zhongli's resurrection...
Rikka Takanashi's idea became reviving her father.
This is also human nature.
Upon hearing this, Zhongli paused for a moment, then gently shook his head.
"No, that won't work."
Your father's soul has long since become a Buddha and been reincarnated.
There's no way to revive them.
This is what Zhongli guessed when she saw the Takanashi sisters' house and didn't see their father's spirit.
After all, after a person dies, they don't become a wandering spirit.
It means the dissipation of the soul, which is also the attainment of Buddhahood.
As for whether becoming a Buddha truly involves reincarnation, Zhongli didn't know.
I heard that my father has become a Buddha and cannot be resurrected.
Disappointment appeared on Rikka Takanashi's face, and her expression became dejected.
Seeing this, Zhongli thought for a moment and then spoke.
"If it's just seeing your father as you remember him, it shouldn't be a problem."
Do you want to see him?
I heard that I could see my father again, the one I remember.
Rikka, who was initially disappointed, immediately agreed, her eyes slightly red.
"I want to see him, even if it's just the father I remember."
Now, she can't ask for anything more.
Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded, summoned the Self-Slaying Child, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Jijin-doji nodded slightly, then floated behind Takanashi Rikka and covered her eyes.
