The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 761 - 761

Ten minutes later, the two sat facing each other on the crimson leather seats of the coffee shop."That shop owner is really enthusiastic..."

Eiji couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to break the silence.

"You're right, that person is truly hard to deal with."

Edelweiss chimed in, "Actually, I originally applied to be a pastry chef, but that person insisted I wear a maid uniform and style my hair like this..."

Conveniently shifting the blame to the shop owner.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, she felt slightly relieved.

But also somewhat dissatisfied.

Could the earlier matter really be brushed aside so easily?

Was her worth in his heart really that insignificant?

"Little Edel, please enjoy."

A waitress brought over coffee and desserts, placing them before Edelweiss.

"Two portions."

Edelweiss suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?"

The waitress tilted her head slightly, clearly puzzled.

"Please bring me two portions."

Edelweiss emphasized.

"Okay."

The waitress gave her a strange look.

"Who would have thought, with such a great figure, Little Edel is actually a big eater?"

She muttered this to herself as she headed to the kitchen.

She assumed ordinary people couldn't hear her muttering, unaware that the two before her were anything but ordinary.

"Actually, my appetite is quite average."

Edelweiss stressed this point.

She pulled the sugar jar closer, picked up a crystal-clear sugar cube, and dropped it into her coffee.

"I understand."

Eiji nodded agreeably.

"Since it's not convenient for me to appear, thank you for ordering for me."

He had been maintaining a withdrawn state, avoiding public attention, otherwise the shop would surely be swarmed by fans upon hearing the news.

Though he felt a bit sorry for the shop owner, he didn't want to be gawked at like a circus animal.

Even so, Edelweiss herself was an exceptionally beautiful woman, attracting numerous gazes. The number of customers quickly increased, with many casting infatuated looks their way, some even considering whether to approach and strike up a conversation.

Edelweiss's mood improved slightly.

It had to be said, this person was quite considerate of others' feelings.

She picked up a second sugar cube and dropped it into her coffee.

"Here's the second portion, please enjoy!"

The same waitress brought over the food on a tray, placing it before Edelweiss.

Then she took the opportunity to push it toward Eiji, casually dropping the fifth sugar cube into her coffee.

Only after adding seven sugar cubes in total did she stop, stirring them evenly with a spoon.

She took a sip, her face showing pure enjoyment.

"If you can't stand bitterness, why order coffee at all?"

Eiji inwardly grumbled.

"By the way, I forgot to thank you for last time!"

Eiji shook his head and took the initiative to express his gratitude.

"For what?"

Edelweiss set down her teacup and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

For a moment, she couldn't recall what Eiji was referring to.

"I need to thank you for both times. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to learn your sword technique or break through to become a demon."

Eiji's expression was sincere.

"If there's anything you wish for me to do, you can always bring it up later."

He hadn't properly expressed his gratitude to Edelweiss yet, even though she had shown him immeasurable kindness.

Without her, he wouldn't have been able to grow this strong so quickly.

"Is that what you meant?"

Edelweiss understood and candidly accepted Eiji's thanks.

In Eiji's journey of growth, she had undoubtedly played a crucial role, and she was fully deserving of his gratitude.

"But if I'm being honest, I should thank you as well."

Edelweiss let out a light laugh.

"Ever since becoming the world's strongest swordswoman, I've been bored for a long time. Despite the vastness of the world, there wasn't a single swordsman who could keep up with my pace. Because of this, I've lacked motivation for over a decade."

The gap between ordinary people and Twin-Wings was simply too vast.

It was as if she existed in a different dimension, leaving all other swordsmen far behind.

Across the entire world, fewer than ten swordsmen had mastered the Twin Wings Style. The swordsmen of this world had disappointed her immensely.

"But after meeting you, things changed."

Edelweiss looked at Eiji with fiery eyes.

Thinking back, it had only been half a month.

In just half a month, he first mastered instantaneous maximum acceleration, then instantaneous complete stillness, and now, he had even created a sword technique capable of severing causality.

In terms of swordsmanship, Edelweiss no longer held any advantage.

Faced with that terrifying sword strike, even she could only evade its edge.

In other words, Eiji's swordsmanship had surpassed hers.

This rekindled the fighting spirit of Edelweiss, who had been bored for so long.

There was still someone in this world who could walk alongside me!

"Your technique, Light-Chaser, is indeed powerful, but I will decipher it in the shortest time possible!"

Edelweiss's expression was gentle, but her tone was sharp and imposing.

Full of confidence.

Without a shred of doubt in her own talent.

This was the determination of the world's strongest swordswoman.

"By that time, I will definitely have created a technique stronger than Light-Chaser."

Eiji shrugged, casually saying something that would shock countless people.

"I truly believe that."

Edelweiss nodded in agreement.

"Your will to grow stronger is far greater than mine."

Light-Chaser was undeniably the strongest sword technique in the world today.

To dare claim he would create something even stronger—if anyone else had said this, they would have been drowned in scorn by swordsmen everywhere.

But as the world's strongest swordsman, or rather, the new true strongest, Eiji's words were entirely convincing.

Not only because he was strong enough, but also because his obsession ran deep enough.

"I never asked you—why do you want to grow stronger? Is it to protect your country?"

Eiji casually took a sip of coffee.

He spat it out several times, then reached for the sugar bowl in front of Edelweiss and added several sugar cubes.

He really couldn't get used to coffee—sweet was definitely better!

He had heard that her country, due to its strategic location, was contested by both the Alliance and the Coalition, who sent a combined total of 300,000 troops to wage war within its borders. It was then that Edelweiss, alone and with a single sword, cut through the entire army, stunning the world.

Thinking about it, she must have grown stronger for the sake of her country, right?

"No, I practice the sword just to lose weight."

But Edelweiss suddenly shook her head.

"Pfft!"

Eiji spat out his coffee.

By now, there were very few things that could make him lose his composure.

Edelweiss raised a napkin and precisely blocked his spray.

"Sorry... are you serious?"

"I'm not lying to you."

Edelweiss said very honestly.
