Situation

It was already in the afternoon when Mary woke up. All those moving and fighting last night made him tired, not just that, he had to walk all the way to the forest and vice versa. Though he did manage to get a night of good sleep, however, it was already morning when he fell asleep. That's why he woke up in the afternoon

Now he is simply lying on the sofa while watching television and drinking coffee.

Lying around all day was Mary's daily routine after all. Other than that he goes to Mark's workplace to talk and have fun while making fun of him.

After waking up from that nap Mary felt odd, his body felt weird and his mind is overflowing with thoughts. But even with all of that sensation what he felt the more was nostalgia. That's why he couldn't fathom and understand what he was feeling. Since he had time after waking up from the nap, he went to Mark's place to clear his mind. However, he didn't stay long with the appearance of Mark's boss. So, he went home and tried thinking of a way to approach the riff.

Now, coming back from Mark's workplace made him overuse his head thinking. Therefore, his mind right now was completely empty while watching television.

Mary stared blankly at the television. He had been doing the same thing ever since he arrived back in the afternoon. It was now currently night.

He continued watching the television blankly until a certain advertisement appeared. It was an advertisement for water guns that kids use. In the advert, the kids were playing in a swimming pool then transitioned to them playing at the beach.

"How nice, I want to go to the beach too. Maybe one day I could go there."

Mary's place is really far from the beach, a total of a 3-hour drive is needed just to get there. Additionally, he thinks driving is such a hassle. Therefore, no matter how much he wants to go to the beach, he would simply finds it a hassle.

"Ahh~ I really like being alone," Mary said while standing up and stretching.

Then suddenly a noise of a door opening was heard by Mary. Unlike last time Mary isn't alone in his house, he had to shelter a lost girl that stumbled upon a new environment, no, in this instance a new world.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm not alone."

Shea who just appeared out of the door was still tired and sleepy. She was wearing light blue pajamas that covered her alluring body. However, the small pajamas were being tightly stretched making her body figure more visible. Additionally, her silky white hair was messy, so the combo really blew Mary away.

Oh my god, I was going to let her wear my mom's nightwear but I stopped because I saw one of the old pajamas that I used to wear in that drawer. I thought that the nightwear was too sexy to give her, but this has a charm of its own.

Wait no! I can't think of her this way, we are strangers.

*Ahem*

"Good morning, you slept well," said Mary

"Good morning, Yawn~ That was the first time I slept on something that comfortable after all."

"Do you need food? I can cook," said Mary

"Are you sure? not that I would mind."

"Yeah don't worry, after all, you're tired from all that cultivation last night aren't you?"

Hearing that, Shea felt chills on her body.

Before Shea fell asleep she thought that it was a good idea to cultivate because the comfortable bed and clothes that were given to her were helping calm the flow of Qi inside her body. Unlike the cultivation she did before, this time was much easier to control and was more advantageous because of the immense amount of Qi in Mary's house. Shea never really thought that Mary knew because she was sleeping in his bedroom and Mary was sleeping in his parent's bedroom, two bedrooms that are nowhere near each other. So when Mary found out she couldn't help but get chills.

To think he could find out when we're both in opposite rooms is really scary. I wonder how far can he detect with his power. Shea thought to herself.

While Shea is thinking of how powerful Mary is, Mary's thoughts was slightly different.

She was really diligent last night, to think that she would cultivate that hard was astonishing to me. However, I do wish that she won't consume all of the overflowing mana that I use to cover this entire neighborhood. If she continues, the spell that I used in this neighborhood would disappear and she might take all of my mana.

What Shea didn't know was that the true reason as to how he found out wasn't because of Mary's detection skills but rather because of something far more different.

That's right... The reason why the "Qi" that Shea gathered to her and cultivated was advantageous for her was because that "Qi" was Mary's overflowing "Mana" that he used to cover the entirety of the neighborhood so he can sense any trouble coming whenever he wants.

Mana and Qi are the same. The only difference was the name and how they used it. For example, back in Mary's old world "Mana" was used as a way to cast "Spells" that they could use to their advantage. Their spells are used via the structure that the spell was made of, so the more spells you know the stronger you get. And as for Shea's world "Qi" was used as a way to strengthen the body and "Release" whenever they want. What's more, if they could control and gather as much "Qi" as they can, then they would move a level and become stronger.

Each world should have "Mana", that's what Mary knew. However, the earth was the only exception.

When Mary returned from his old world, he thought that he could continue to utilize the mana in the atmosphere as much as he wants. But to his surprise, Earth didn't have mana.

Mana was utilized in two different ways back in Mary's world. That is to use the mana inside the person or to use the mana in the atmosphere to create spells. But since earth did not have mana, he lost half of the original spells that he knew of. Hence he had to rely on his own mana. So, when Mary heard from the Goddess about the riffs he was overjoyed. The mana that he was losing every day can be replenished by going into the other world, or so he thought.

The riff that appeared was all the way up to the air. He could use the permission that he received from the Goddess to use one of his prime skills to fly all the way up there, but he was scared that the permission can only be a one-time thing.

One of the reasons I wanted to help Shea was that she knew where the riff appeared and I could use her as a guide, and also because she looked cute. But to my idiocracy, there's no way it would be that easy.

Mary still has a lot of mana inside him but, with the appearance of Shea, that mana was in danger of being all sucked up into her.

Mary could remove the spell that he uses to cover the neighborhood but the monsters that could appear anytime would be dangerous for him, especially if a disaster class would appear.

"For now, let's wait. No one knows what would happen in the future."
