Kamen Rider Date A Live

The handsome, silver-haired man, Youki, remained calm and showed no reaction, while Yuyuko nodded in agreement with what Youki said.

"Speaking of which, isn't this all Grandpa's fault? I just went to the place where the souls were raging nearby and found Lady Yuyuko eating souls one bite at a time! It's all because you spoiled Lady Yuyuko too much, Grandpa!"

Little Youmeng burst out with a roar that was completely out of character for her, who was originally a 'bottom'.

"Ugh... Lady Yuyuko just said she was hungry... Besides, it's because Hakugyokurou has been running a deficit lately..." Youki weakly retorted.

"Deficit?" Veins popped out on Youmu's forehead.

"Isn't this all because of you, Grandpa! You suddenly disappeared three hundred years ago, and then suddenly came back recently, saying that you're now a gardener. You took a lot of money from the family and bought a huge number of plants from Lady Yuuka! And you go there almost every day..."

Youmu's counterattack has begun...

Leaving aside the Bai Yulou family's lively antics here, let's take a look at the situation in the courtroom on the other side!

—Hell, Beyond, Judgment Hall—

"Next!"

A young girl (?) is dressed in a very formal blue robe and wears a crown. Her hair is green, slightly longer on the right side. The words "Yes" and "No" are embroidered on the shoulder of her robe.

He holds a token in his hand like a scepter, called the "Repentance Stick" (which looks like a fried shrimp), used to whip sinners. An octagonal pure glass mirror hangs between him, and his expression is solemn. He wears a red and white headband; red represents "birth," and white represents "death and separation."

This is none other than the Supreme Judge of Paradise and Hell, and also Komachi Onozuka's superior, Eiki Enma Amassanadu, who is meticulously examining all the souls from here, making the fairest and most impartial judgment on all souls.

Even though I was about to collapse from working for several days in a row, I still worked diligently!

We should learn from this attitude.

…………

(P.S.: When the helpers arrived, they found that Eiki had already passed out. Before that, she was still making fair and just judgments on the souls according to her instincts. That's amazing!)

———The flashback continues———

“Okay! Now these two souls can talk!” Diend said to Decade after fiddling with the other soul.

"Huh? We can talk now? Great! Anyway, you two pig-men, the pink one, take your hands off Big Sister's!!"

As soon as she was able to speak, the girl with red twin tails, Kotori Itsuka, started cursing at Decade, completely ignoring who had saved them. She was heartless.

"While we are very grateful that you saved us, what are you going to do with Shiori?" Origami Washi, a girl with short white hair, asked Diend and Decade expressionlessly.

"Hmm?... (staring intently)... I see, they're two yuri." Decade glanced at Kotori and Origami, and said with a sudden realization.

"Oh! Is that so? But may I ask what your relationship is with this girl? Explain and leave quickly. If you don't leave now, your souls will be scattered to the winds, and you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."

Diend understood, but still explained to the two girls that if they didn't leave soon, their souls would be scattered, as their souls had already begun to shatter.

But then again, neither of you paid any attention to the term 'pig man,' which shows impressive patience.

"You men are so long-winded. We'll decide our own affairs, but... is there really no other way?"

Although Ghost Kotori started by swearing, she eventually asked the two of them a question, and Ghost Origami also turned her gaze to them.

“This…” Diend and Decade looked at each other, and after a while, Diend shrugged and said helplessly.

"Sorry, this isn't our specialty, and if we take you to the ones who are good at it, you definitely won't be able to withstand the pressure of traversing different dimensions. Besides, the otaku who's good at souls is too far away from here, it's too late. You can still reincarnate now, so hurry up and go."

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Diend simply told them the truth.

"You just said you wanted to go to a closer world, can we go there?" Ghost Origami asked.

“Impossible. Even if it were very close, it wouldn’t be something your souls can handle right now, unless… never mind.” Diend seemed to have thought of something, but then dismissed his idea.

"Any method will do, as long as we can say our final... goodbye to my sister (Shiori)." The two of them surprisingly spoke in unison.

Upon hearing this, Diend looked at Decade, but Decade actually nodded and said...

"Let them burn, otherwise they might follow me on their own. I'm contacting the otaku now, and all we can do now is wait and see."

After Decade finished speaking, he disappeared, while Diend shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

"Honestly, you always make me handle Blackhorn, but you end up doing the most work yourself. But... are you really sure about this?" Diend turned to look at Ghost Kotori and Ghost Origami, and the two nodded without hesitation.

"...Sigh—alright. This is probably the last glimmer of your lives. Fulfill your wishes well..." As Diend finished speaking, he simultaneously inserted his hands into the bodies of Ghost Kotori and Ghost Origami!

They didn't even tell me they were going to call that super shut-in geek over... I curse you all...

The so-called dark history of the Seventieth

The so-called dark history of the Seventieth

P.S.: This update rush is over. If I were to continue with more updates, the author says he'd be in serious trouble (just kidding)... Actually, I'm just exhausted.

“Listen carefully, I am about to begin ‘burning’ your spirit cores and souls, turning you into beings similar to ordinary ghosts. But remember, you must never touch Shiori.”

“Once you reach this state, you will instinctively absorb the souls of all living beings. This is the instinct of living beings to fill the void! Moreover, I did not sense any power in Shiori. I am afraid that the moment you touch Shiori, she will die and her soul will be scattered!”

"This has nothing to do with your original intentions! It's an action you can't control. Remember that, or you'll end up putting the cart before the horse..."

Diend spoke seriously to Ghost Kotori and Ghost Origami, and the two nodded.

Just then, Decade returned. Decade and Diend nodded to each other and began their journey towards Shido's world.

———Flashback Ends———

"...That's it. You all know what happened next. As for that otaku...I don't know if he'll come."

With only one eye open and the other closed, You Shi, sitting with his legs crossed, quietly sipped his tea and spoke without any trace of sadness, as if he himself hadn't done it.

Naturally, Yusei's attitude infuriated Shiori, who rushed forward and grabbed him. No one else intervened, though they didn't immediately attack, their eyes clearly showing their displeasure.

"Why didn't you stop Kotori and Origami?! Why?! For someone like me..."

Although Shiori grabbed Yuse out of anger, she was still rational and knew very well that Kotori and Origami chose this path entirely for their own sake!

But when I think about all the shameless things I've done in my quest for revenge, compared to Kotori and Origami, I realize that my ruthless pursuit of revenge makes me nothing more than a... selfish little person... nothing at all...

Thinking this, Shiori unconsciously released her grip on Yuse's collar and stood silently, pondering a solution.

It's no longer possible for me to give Kotori and Origami their souls. Putting aside my own wishes, Kotori and Origami would definitely not agree! So the only way is to find that guy I just mentioned, nicknamed "Otaku"!

Thinking of this, Shiori stopped being silent and hurriedly grabbed Yuse's shoulder again, starting to interrogate him directly.

"Mr. Yu Shi! When is that guy nicknamed 'Otaku' coming?! And why did you say that guy nicknamed 'Otaku' might not come?! He should be one of the Chosen Ones, right?!"

While asking her questions, Shiori also displayed a strange strength that was completely beyond what an ordinary girl should have. While asking questions, she also lifted and shook Yuse, an adult (?), back and forth. It was really scary.

"...Could...you...stop...shaking...for...a moment...?...I...will...answer...?"

Because of the violent shaking, Yu Shi spoke slowly and haltingly to avoid biting his tongue. His baseball cap had long since been blown off, and his hairstyle was a complete mess.

Only then did Shiori realize she had been too excited. Seeing the miserable state she had made of Yuse, she couldn't help but laugh. She 'placed' Yuse back in his original position, picked up the baseball cap that had fallen to the side, and pretended that nothing had happened, putting it back on Yuse's head to cover up his messy hairstyle.

Seeing Yu-se looking at her with a rather speechless expression, Shiori simply pretended to be a bystander, acting as if she knew nothing and was just there to observe, turning her head to the side while humming a song.

Seeing Shiori like this, Kotori knew that her older sister had fallen ill again.

My older sister is perfect in every way: understanding, beautiful, academically gifted, athletic, domestically superb, well-developed, with a stunning figure and an angelic face. The only downside is that, although she hasn't had anyone she likes, she still thinks she likes men! How awful! What's so great about men anyway?! My sister should come and marry me in the Netherlands!

(Note: Most of the above are personal opinions from Ghost Harp, please do not take them seriously.)

(Note: The Netherlands recognizes same-sex marriage, so whether you're a lesbian or gay couple, go there if you want to get married!)

Even so... sometimes when my older sister gets too nervous, she completely ignores others and just keeps talking or doing things on her own. She's also prone to getting stuck on things and doing impulsive things...

Although I hate to admit it, I really owe a debt to that male version of my older sister just now. My older sister is very strong, but that strength is just a shackle she's put on herself because of what happened five years ago. She used to be so terrified of even the sight of a bug that she'd scream...

Putting aside the rambling in the ghostly harp, Yuuji was a little speechless at this point, but he knew how anxious Shiori was right now, so he decided to make things clear first before letting Sakuya fix his hair.

"Ahem! You're really in a hurry, aren't you...?"

Yu Shi, who was about to retort, immediately straightened his attitude when he saw Shiori raise her hand again. He was joking, who would want to go through what had just happened again!

"I'll tell you right away! Calm down. And there's a reason why I said that. Although the otaku got the news, he also knows that it was Kotori and Origami's own choice, and given his personality, there's a high chance he won't come. And unless Reverse Shocker attacks his world, even in the current situation where other worlds are full of crises, he won't come out to fight. That's just his personality; he'd rather avoid trouble."

You Shi reluctantly spoke his mind.

"But what about 'Yu' beside him? Could it be that he has the same personality as a shut-in?" This time it was Shido's turn to ask a question, quite puzzled as to why 'Yu' from that world didn't care about his chosen one.

But after Shido asked, Yuse, who was present, suddenly became embarrassed and simply became mute, saying nothing.

Seeing Yu Shi like this, Xingye and Jian looked at each other, exchanged some words, and then Xingye took over the explanation.

"How should I put it... this history can be considered the dark history of the world and Yuse, so it's normal that Yuse doesn't want to talk about it. But when it comes to experts in the field of souls, all of us 'have' and the chosen ones will think of this guy, the otaku."

"By the way, let me tell you, 'otaku' is not a code name, but that guy's real name. Otaku as in 'otaku,' 'man' as in 'otaku,' surname is otaku, given name is man, so you guys have gotten it wrong."

"Ah ...

Eyes' Tip

That otaku guy... In short, he's an otaku!

The Seventy-First Covenant is about to disappear...

The Seventy-First Covenant is about to disappear...

"By the way, let me tell you, 'otaku' is not a code name, but that guy's real name. Otaku as in 'otaku,' 'man' as in 'otaku,' surname is otaku, given name is man, so you guys have gotten it wrong."

"Ah ...

"A shut-in, a shut-in!? There are actually people with names like that!?" Shiori and the others looked on incredulously. There really is someone with a name like that!?

Now everyone has only one thought in their mind: "Uneducated parents are terrible. Luckily, my name isn't like that."

"Let me explain a little. The 'existence' of otaku can be said to exist or not, because what gives otaku power are the two people, Sekai and Yuse."

"However, the process is confidential, and we don't know much about it either. Because it involves our own body, we can't say too much."

As he said this, Xingye put his finger to his lips, making an unspeakable gesture.

However, what Shido and the others cared about was completely drawn to another word.

"The real body?! So, Hoshino and the others are just clones?!" Shido's voice was filled with surprise and doubt. He seemed somewhat incredulous.

Well, that's normal. Shido only knows three "Yu" people, but their personalities and appearances are completely different. And judging from what Hoshino and the others said before, there are quite a few "Yu" people. Could it be that Hoshino's true form is a guy with a split personality?

Well, it's not surprising that Shido thinks that way, because he's not the only one who thinks that way. However, even if Hoshino and the others' true forms knew what Shido and the others were thinking, they wouldn't do anything, because for them, there's no need to care about such pointless speculation.

However, this was clearly not the first time Hoshino had talked about this kind of thing with someone. Seeing the strange expressions on Shido and the others' faces, he immediately guessed what they were thinking.

"Don't get me wrong, although we are clones, we are also completely independent individuals. Our personalities are formed by our own will, so what kind of personality we have is entirely up to us. However... sigh~! Never mind, just pretend I didn't say the rest."

"In short, the otaku is the type with an average appearance, the kind you can easily forget after one glance. His abilities are average, neither particularly good nor bad. He's lazy, selfish, likes to daydream, and plays dumb. He hates fighting, prefers peace, is somewhat autistic, and is quite shameless. He doesn't like communicating with people and hates trouble. He likes to hide the truth in lies and lies in truth. He denies the existence of the so-called supernatural, prefers staying at home, dislikes going out, and adheres to the principle of 'the less trouble, the better,' etc."
