I'm doing abstract animation

Having composed himself, Yuuki quickly gave the old village chief an answer.

"You need to know, village chief. Fear is an instinct. When animals understand humans, they subconsciously feel fear and incomprehension. Similarly, when humans look directly at ancient gods, they subconsciously feel fear and incomprehension... Sometimes, if the difference is too great, they will feel fear no matter what it is."

Sure enough, my intuition was right...

Gilgamesh's face turned completely ugly.

Such an absurd thing actually happened...

Those Noble Phantasms that avoided Yuuki Ri... were afraid!

Book 1: Chapter 51 Meeting

Miura: "That guy's gone, right?"

Yumiko Miura typed the following message on her phone.

Yui: "Yeah, he's gone. I saw him leave the school gate with my own eyes."

A pink-furred ball of fluff immediately followed up with a reply.

Yukinoshita: "I said, is it really necessary to be so cautious?"

Yukinoshita: "If Kitarō were here, he could have given me better advice."

Sitting in her classroom, Yukino Yukinoshita typed this sentence with a hint of helplessness.

Miura: "He made it so obvious yesterday, do you expect us to shamelessly bother him?"

Komi: "I think Kori might not have meant that..."

Yui: "Wow, you call Shoko Risa too..."

Komi: "Is there a problem? I feel like Yuuki-kun wouldn't care about such a small thing. He might even be happy if we gave him a nickname."

Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "How could you mortals possibly understand the heart of a guide?"

Yui: "Ruri-chan, you're saying weird things again."

Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "Shut up, you ignorant pink-haired barbarian!"

Yui: "Wow, I got scolded again..."

Miura: "Anyway, let's meet at the coffee shop later."

Half an hour later, in a private room of a coffee shop, several girls sat together.

"Couldn't we have chosen a bigger private room?"

Feeling Yui Yuigahama pressed tightly against her body, Ruri Gokou complained somewhat uncomfortably.

Yumiko Miura said with a hint of helplessness, "There's nothing I can do; the private rooms here are ridiculously expensive."

She also wanted to choose a larger place, but considering that they were still students, she was afraid that choosing a larger private room would cause dissatisfaction among others.

She's at the pinnacle of modern life, so she's very familiar with some of the unspoken rules of Japanese society.

"Alright, that's enough chit-chat." Yukino Yukinoshita closed her book and turned her gaze to Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura: "I have a question that I hope you can answer for me."

"Yes, we're here for a strategic meeting, so just say what you need to say."

Yumiko Miura was quite frank. Although she used to dislike Yukino Yukinoshita, even now that Hayama has distanced himself from her, she still doesn't quite like Yukino Yukinoshita.

But no matter what, they would be partners fighting together in the future, and she wanted to change her preconceived notions about Yukinoshita.

"How exactly did you two manage to integrate the cards?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and took a card from her inner pocket, placing it on the table: "I've had countless nightmares, but I just can't integrate the card."

card?

The group was startled and simultaneously looked at the card that Yukino Yukinoshita had placed on the table.

It was a card with a blue background, and the picture on it was of a somewhat dull-looking young man in a messy room, swinging several wooden dolls.

"It's even blue!"

Miura Yumiko was somewhat surprised. She looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and asked, "Did he give you this card?"

His voice involuntarily became distorted, and his face turned somewhat dark.

What did that bastard mean? He gave me a blank card and made me suffer in another dimension for almost half a year before I got a card, and then you just handed the blue card to Yukinoshita.

I knew it would be like this.

Yukino Yukinoshita covered her face in exasperation. After learning that Yumiko Miura had suffered greatly in the other dimension for the sake of power, she felt that her card was too hot to handle, so she had kept it a secret from them...

The main reason is that Yuuki Rito mentioned that strange phenomena might occur in reality, and she felt that time was running out, so she had no choice but to bring it up and ask for everyone's opinions.

But just by bringing it out, the already fragile bond between the partners suddenly became extremely precarious...

Left with no other choice, she had to tell the whole story about how her sister had asked her to pick someone up that night, and how she had accidentally entered another dimension.

Does your sister have short hair?

Ruri Gokou suddenly interjected, saying that she had previously felt that Yukino Yukinoshita looked somewhat familiar, and that her surname was the same as that of the short-haired older sister from before.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, looking at her with some surprise: "You know my sister?"

Ruri Gokou nodded as well: "Just a brief encounter."

It was more than just a brief encounter; it's safe to say that her sister was one of her sugar daddies.

If she wasn't mistaken, her sister was behind her father's recent inexplicable lottery win.

"So, your sister knows the truth too?"

Yumiko Miura frowned even more deeply: "But why wasn't your sister with us?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

How should we put it? Are we suggesting that her older sister is too old and Yuuki didn't like her?

She pondered for a moment and decided to save face for her sister.

"She doesn't have the qualifications."

Yumiko Miura nodded skeptically, but did not press the matter further.

She was actually quite skeptical of this claim of qualification, after all, she had been told by Yuuki that she was just a female passerby, but in the end, she still gained the ability, didn't she?

However, there are some things that shouldn't be asked further; it would be impolite to keep asking.

However, despite Yumiko Miura's outward resentment towards Yukino Yukinoshita's honesty, she had already accepted Yukino Yukinoshita in her heart.

After all, not everyone can openly share their embarrassing moments.

"Fusion cards... You'll have to ask Yui about that. My cards are a bit different from yours. If I had to explain it, I'd say I achieved empathy in another dimension!"

Yumiko Miura asked Osamu Yuuki, and she said that her situation was different from Yui Yuigahama's. Her situation was that she bought a ticket first and then boarded the train, while Yui Yuigahama's situation was that she boarded the train first and then bought a ticket. The two situations were fundamentally different.

"A fusion card..."

Yui Yuigahama scratched her head with a pained expression: "If I could, I really wouldn't want to recall that dream... Actually, I don't really know how the fusion happened, I just felt very sad, and then I woke up crying."

"and then?"

"And that's it. The card has already merged into my body," Yui Yuigahama said honestly, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I cried really hard, even my mom was scared."

Yukinoshita Yukino: “?”

Well, looks like I asked for nothing this time.

What are your dreams?

Yumiko Miura asked with some curiosity, "I know Yui, a poor little girl. What about you?"

"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita was a little embarrassed: "My story is about a man pursuing a woman..."

"A love story?!"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up immediately; she loved listening to love stories.

Yukino Yukinoshita forced a smile and nodded. It was indeed a love story, except that in the end, the man devoured the woman whole…

That scene was so ahead of its time that she didn't want to recall it anymore...

"Alright, now that you have the cards, things will be much easier."

Yumiko Miura stroked her chin thoughtfully: "The most important thing now is to help you guys gain power. Since Yukinoshita has already obtained the card, how about Komi, you go to the other dimension next?"

"I'm OK."

Komi Shoko silently raised the whiteboard: "However, I think we can do it at the same time."

"Simultaneously?"

A question mark popped into Miura Yumiko's mind: "Tell me more details."

Komi Shoko put down the whiteboard and then raised it again: "Here's the thing, I'll go and conquer the yellow alternate dimension by myself, while you and Yui will help Ruri conquer a white alternate dimension to obtain cards."

Miura Yuko: "…………"

Yui Yuigahama: "…………"

The two exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat embarrassed.

Are we really going to fight in the white alternate dimension...?

"what happened?"

Komi Shoko raised the whiteboard again.

"It's not that it's impossible to... it's not that it's impossible to..." Miura Yumiko said, trying to appear calm, "but I think it's better to consider this matter more carefully..."

Yui Yuigahama forced a smile and said, "Yes, I think we should think of a better plan..."

What a joke! Those two are very self-aware. At their current level, fighting monsters from another dimension would be no different than delivering food.

"You...you're not scared, are you?" Ruri Gokou looked at the two suspiciously. Since it concerned her grand plan for transcendence, although it was a little inappropriate for her to speak, she still shamelessly spoke up.

“It’s not that I’m afraid…” Miura Yumiko became even more embarrassed: “Okay, I am indeed a little bit insecure…”

Gogen Ruri: “…”

You're quite honest...

Komi Shoko held up the whiteboard with a hint of helplessness: "It's not just the two of you who need to go. You definitely need to invite Ri to come along. Isn't he going to train our combat experience? It's a good opportunity to help Ruri acquire cards while training her."

Huh?

Is this still possible?

Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui exchanged a glance and realized that this method should work!

Despite his abstract and crude demeanor, Yuki Risa is actually quite caring towards them deep down, just as he himself said, otherwise he wouldn't have done so much for them.

If I were to use the guise of training for real combat to trick... cough cough, invite him, even if he's grumbling and swearing, he'd probably still come along, right?

Yumiko Miura winked at Yui Yuigahama: "Yui, why don't you try calling that guy?"

"Hey, me, me?"

Yui Yuigahama swallowed hard: "I'm a little hesitant..."

After all, this could be considered a trick, but Yuki's mind is full of strange and sinister knowledge. Can this really fool him?

“Yuigahama-san is probably the most suitable.” Yukino Yukinoshita chimed in, “After all, you were the first person he chose, and he even asked you to do the commentary, so it’s most suitable for you to communicate with Kitarō.”

Ruri Gokou nodded, seemingly unwilling, and said, "Although I am very unwilling, the bond between me and the Guide is not as strong as yours at present."

Komi Shoko silently raised her whiteboard: "That's right, Yui and Ri are the closest."

Seeing that his friends had all confirmed his relationship with Yuuki Ryou.

Although she was still a little scared, the corners of her mouth were now even harder to suppress than Ak's...

"Since you all say so, then... shall I give it a try?"
