I'm doing abstract animation

“I see…” Stroking his chin, Yuuki Ryo finally understood why this black cat was so intelligent; it had been enlightened by Gokou Ruri.

He became interested. He knew that the uses of his energy were incredibly diverse, and there was nothing he couldn't do, but he had never imagined that this energy could be used to enhance the intelligence of beings other than humans.

I picked up the paper and looked at it.

"Prince, this is my familiar. She and my sister are temporarily staying here. I hope you will take good care of them. I will repay you handsomely after this is over!"

Yuuki Osamu: "..."

A familiar?

That does make some sense...

P.S.: I'm numb. Chapter 47 was censored. The revisions almost gave me a heart attack.

A bizarre and fantastical city: Chapter Fifty-Five - The Last Line

"Next up is Yui's family, right?"

Yumiko Miura looked at Shoko Furumi with some concern: "Shoko, can you still take it?"

Shaking her head, Komi Shoko said calmly, "The consumption is not high, no problem."

"But there are so many people here..."

She looked around hesitantly. The commotion had just drawn the attention of many people. Although they dared not approach, they could only watch them from afar.

"It's alright, we can't worry about that now. I have a feeling that the extraordinary will soon step into the limelight, and the order will probably be even more chaotic then..."

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip, her expression not looking too good.

Although she gained supernatural powers, she genuinely didn't want social order to collapse. If monsters from other dimensions were to invade reality on a large scale, what would become of ordinary people...?

"It's okay, we'll face it together."

Placing her hand on Yukino's shoulder, Shoko Furumi whispered, "No matter what, we're partners, aren't we?"

"...Yes, we are partners."

Nodding, Yukino Yukinoshita forced herself to stop thinking about the unpleasant things that might happen in the future and calmly said, "Now that things have come to this, let's begin, Shoko."

A cyan pistol appeared, and he once again aimed it at his forehead and pulled the trigger.

boom!

Gunshots rang out, a dazzling light flashed, and the white dragon once again stood tall on the earth!

Roar!

But unlike before, this time the gunshots and the appearance of the white dragon signaled that they would officially step into the public eye.

A roar rang out, and a heavy pressure spread out instantly. Apart from the few people involved, all the onlookers fell to the ground.

Dragon's might is not something ordinary people can withstand, even though Komi Shoko is not even in her infancy yet.

"My dearest friends, there is no need to hide, our era is about to begin!"

Perhaps it was Yukino Yukinoshita's words that ignited her inner chuunibyou spirit, or perhaps it was the overwhelming presence of Komi Shoko that captivated her; Ruri Gokou, her face flushed, loudly proclaimed a monologue.

You can see that she is very excited.

The remaining people exchanged glances and then smiled.

Excitement? Who isn't?

Standing on the stage, under the spotlight of thousands, how could they, at their age, possibly resist such temptation?

One by one, they jumped onto the white dragon's back.

Its enormous wings spread out, blotting out the sky and the sun.

call!

With a flap of its wings, the white dragon soared into the sky like a meteor, instantly disappearing from the stunned crowd.

After a long while, the people who had been subdued by the dragon's might finally got up.

Am I...am I dreaming?

"That's a dragon!"

"Oh no, the world's about to change..."

……

The impact of a creature existing only in fantasy descending into reality is enormous. Although the White Dragon's aura prevented anyone from recording the scene, too many people still witnessed it.

One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred, and soon a rumor begins to spread like a virus.

"The incarnation of a white dragon and five maidens will save the world from destruction... What nonsense!"

Yuki Ryo turned off his phone with a dark expression.

He has no desire to care about, nor can he care about, the trouble they've caused outside.

The extraordinary are about to step into the limelight; this is an unstoppable trend. Once the trial is passed and the spiritual energy revival begins, individual power will increase, and the chaos will be even greater...

But what does that have to do with him?

I will eventually leave, and the only thing I can do is leave a few backup plans to ensure that they can maintain their status after passing the trials. That would be more than enough.

Consider it a parting gift...

"Brother Yuuki, what's your relationship with my sister?" Hinata asked, leaning closer to him with a gossipy look on her face. "Let me tell you, my sister keeps talking about the prince at home!"

Yuuki Risa: "..."

"Brother, when are you going to marry your older sister?"

Zhu Xi also came over and asked curiously.

Yuuki Risa: "..."

So human babies are really troublesome...

High in the sky, the white dragon sped forward.

"Liuli, what you did to those people before..."

Yui Yuigahama sat behind Ruri Gokou this time. She leaned close to Ruri Gokou's ear, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "I've felt that emotion before. I'm very sensitive to emotions, and that emotion made my hair stand on end..."

She used rather euphemistic language, without explicitly stating that she sensed Gokou Ruri's murderous intent towards those people.

"...Yes, I wanted to kill them at the time." Ruri Gokou said without changing her expression, "Maybe it was because I was worried about Hyuga and the others, or maybe it was because they made me lose face!"

"Disgraceful?"

"...I'm afraid that the behavior of those people will affect your perception of me and my family."

Perhaps because she was still in a high mood, the usually reserved Ruri Gokou rarely revealed her true feelings.

“For the first fifteen years of my life, I didn’t know what friends were. No one understood me, and no one was willing to understand me. My family was everything to me…” Ruri Gokou’s voice gradually lowered: “If anyone lays a hand on my family, no matter how, I will not hesitate to take action, Yui-nee.”

Even if it involves... murder.

"..."

The space on the dragon's back was only so big, and although the two of them spoke softly, it was no secret to those present.

Ruri Gokou's words may sound extreme, but if they were to ask themselves if their families were in danger, would they still hold on to their last line of defense?

Their bottom line is murder.

Osamu Yuki had discussed this issue with them before.

They couldn't help but think of that day.

"Killing is not the bottom line; the bottom line is that you should not kill those who should not be killed."

They didn't buy into this statement. Living in a peaceful world, the word "murder" had always been far removed from their lives, which aroused their strong opposition at the time.

“We have no right to take anyone’s life.” Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. “Even with power, one cannot disregard the law.”

“Law?” Yuki scoffed. “Isn’t that just for protecting the rich? Oh, I forgot, Yukinoshita is a rich woman. What you said isn’t wrong, after all, there’s nothing wrong with considering things from your own class perspective.”

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

She was about to be implicated, but she couldn't refute it. After all, there were quite a few first-time incidents in Japan, and many people who did these first-time incidents were still alive. Without exception, all of these survivors were rich.

"Even so, killing is still wrong." After holding it in for a long time, Yukino Yukinoshita finally managed to utter a sentence: "Taking someone else's life... I can't do it."

"I... I can't do that either." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yui Yuigahama raised her hand to smooth things over: "I think if the other person really does something really infuriating, just beat them up. Murder is really..."

Miura Yuko: "..."

She didn't speak, and by not speaking, she meant she agreed with what Yuuki said.

She had experienced darkness in another dimension before, and at that time she was truly determined to kill.

Although Kuroda ultimately stopped her with his own life, if given the chance again, she would still choose to pick up the kitchen knife and fight to the death once more.

After all, some people are truly deserving of death.

Ruri Gokou snorted coldly: "We are striving to evolve into the extraordinary, yet we are still bound by the rules and regulations of mortals. Wouldn't that be a waste of our evolution?"

That makes sense. Yuuki glanced at her and nodded, but the others ignored her, assuming she was just having a fit of chuunibyou.

"In that case, shall we make a deal?"

Komi Shoko held up the whiteboard.

"What agreement?"

The whiteboard was put down and then picked up again, and a line of words appeared clearly on it.

"We set murder as the last line, and this last line must never be crossed. We monitor each other, and if we find anything wrong, we must stop it immediately."

"How about it?"

"agree."

"I think it's great!"

"I have no opinion."

"Hmph, I agree."

So, the bottom line was that killing would become their agreement... Oh, at that time, Saeko Busujima hadn't joined yet, so she was excluded.

"arrive."

Just as the group was deep in thought, the white dragon made a sound and flew towards the ground again at the speed of a falling meteor.

It miraculously slowed down as it approached the ground, preventing the people on its back from experiencing the thrill of a drop tower ride.

A flash of white light, and Komi Glass returned to its original form.

"Are you alright, Shoko?"

Seeing the beads of sweat on the girl's face, Yui Yuigahama asked with some concern, "Why do you look so tired?"

Shaking her head, Komi Shoko said softly, "I'm just hungry."

It seems her energy expenditure wasn't as low as she claimed...

The group couldn't help but think to themselves that their energy reserves were closely related to their physical strength. Whenever their energy was greatly depleted, their physical strength would decrease accordingly. In mild cases, like Komi Shoko, they would feel hungry, while in severe cases, they might even faint.

According to Yuuki, this is because their world lacks special abilities, so they can only use physical strength to convert energy. Once spiritual energy is revived in the future, they will be able to avoid this situation.

"Are you hungry? No problem, I have some snacks at home. Come in and grab a bite." Yui Yuigahama smiled and pushed open the door.

The moment she pushed open the door, her face turned pale.

The people behind him stepped forward and saw the situation in the living room, and their expressions changed drastically.

Furniture was scattered all over the living room floor, the television had a hole in it, and the coffee table was broken...

"Mom, Mom!"

Yui Yuigahama immediately shouted in a trembling voice, but there was no response at all.

"Woooo..."

Suddenly, a faint whimper caught their attention.

The sound was coming from under the sofa.

This voice...
