Shirou's clones number 30 million

a long time.

"Yuri, what's wrong with this dog? Quick, drag it away!"

On the bustling street, Yuri's mother dodged the "attacks" of the search dogs while shouting in panic.

"Please don't worry, we'll be right there."

Tianxiang Youli grabbed the search dog's tail and dragged it back two meters.

The next moment, the search dog turned back and sniffed around her legs a few times before setting off again in another direction.

"Very good, it seems they will search there one by one."

Seeing this, Shirou Shiro nodded slightly:

"In that case, our Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) might be able to take on some missing person cases in the future."

"For example, if a child is abducted and there is no news of him for many years, a dog can solve the problem."

"This time there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Yuri Tensho couldn't help but ask.

"There shouldn't be any, let's go and check first."

After about ten minutes, thanks to Shirou Hakusawa's repeated use of speed-up magic, the two people and the dog arrived at a cemetery.

The search dog stopped in front of a tombstone and turned back to bark at Tianxiang Youli.

"They can even find people inside coffins, not bad. It seems we can look forward to the effectiveness of these search dogs." Shirou Shiro couldn't help but say.

"So he had already passed away."

Standing before the tombstone, Tianxiang Youli murmured something to herself, then suddenly bent down and bowed deeply. She then turned back and said:

"Let's go."

"Alright, let's head to Soul Society together. There are two people who desperately need this missing person dog item."

"Ah."

Chapter 589 I've actually been outsmarting thin air all this time

Chapter 589, Section 590: I've Been Fighting a Battle of Wits with Thin Air

After setting their goal, they opened the Anywhere Door, and the two appeared directly in front of Yuri Nakamura.

"Yuri, I'm here to help you."

Shirou Shirazawa put the search dog he was carrying on the ground and explained:

"Just feed it a single hair of yours, and it will immediately lead you to find your family."

Yuri Nakamura, who was drawing at her desk, stopped what she was doing, glanced back at the puppy on the floor, and couldn't help but say:

"Just because of a little dog like this?"

"This is no ordinary dog; it's a special search dog that I had made."

"Really? Hmm... I'll try it when I'm done with this."

Clearly, she didn't believe the dog could help her find her family.

Seeing this, Shirou Hakusawa sighed helplessly:

"What are you doing? Instead of doing all this useless work, why don't you try trusting me this once?"

"How could it be a waste of time? This is the best method I found after investigating for a whole day."

Yuri Nakamura threw down her pen and said, slightly agitated:

"According to my investigation, almost everyone in the new district is dissatisfied with their situation and is eager to find their families."

"Therefore, I plan to form a secret organization to find our relatives to share our ideas."

"As long as the organization continues to expand, it will definitely be able to help everyone find their relatives in the future."

Shirou Shiro was speechless for a long time, then shook his head slightly.

"You're oversimplifying things. In a place where there aren't even cell phones or landlines, it would take at least decades, or even centuries, to develop a secret organization."

"It's been so long, by the time you find your relatives, everything will have changed."

"Furthermore, the Seireitei will never allow your secret organization to grow and expand. Any Shinigami could wipe you all out."

"Many Grim Reapers seem easy to talk to, but that's just a matter of personal manners. In reality, they don't take ordinary spirits seriously at all."

Yuri Nakamura paused, then muttered to herself:

"Then all my flyers and posters were made for nothing?"

"So you're making posters? Instead of doing this useless work, why not try trusting me this once?"

"I want to believe you too, but with just a little dog like this, it just doesn't seem possible, does it?"

"Why not just give it a try? Many things seem unbelievable, but they are true."

"Hmm... I'll trust you this once."

Yuri Nakamura plucked a hair from her head and bent down to feed it to the puppy.

The moment the search dog opened its mouth, she involuntarily gasped in surprise:

"What is this? A robot dog?"

"Didn't I just say this? This is a special search dog that I had someone make for me."

"So that's what 'making' means? So, this is a technological product?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

"But this is the underworld, right? Will it even work?"

"Why don't you try and see?"

The next moment, the search dog ate the hair and ran off in another direction.

Seeing this, Yuri Nakamura felt a strange sense of hope rise in her heart and quickly followed.

Shiro Shiro and Yuri Tensho exchanged a glance and followed at a leisurely pace.

"Is this slow enough? You'll lose them." Yuri Tensho smiled slightly.

"Well... as long as she doesn't get lost, that's fine. As for us, we can retrieve the search dog after she finds her family."

“That’s true. Even if we follow them, it seems like we won’t be of much help.”

Tenshou Yuri smiled and then said:

"I've been working at the reception center for the past few days and I don't know what it looks like yet. Can I walk around a bit?"

“Of course.” Shirou Shiro said as he thought, “However, if you want to experience the customs and culture of the underworld, you really have to go to Rukongai.”

"Rukoushi, I was quite interested in it when I read the manga. However, the manga didn't cover much of the Rukongai storyline."

"Now we can see for ourselves. By the way, the difference between comic book plots and reality is huge. We'll talk about the specific differences as we go."

……

On the other side, Yuri Nakamura, who was chasing after the missing dog running through the street, suddenly heard a scream from ahead.

He quickly sped up and ran over in one breath.

Turning the corner, a young man came into view, grieving over a strange insect.

He held the insect in one hand and grabbed the tail of the search dog with the other.

The search dog was struggling with him, running in the opposite direction as if trying to break free from his grasp.

"What are you doing? Let go of my dog!"

"Is this your dog? It stepped on my missing person bug."

"A 'people-finding bug'? Are you looking for someone too?" Yuri Nakamura instantly realized that he was probably searching for his family, just like her.

"Don't change the subject, your dog stepped on my missing person bug."

Otonashi Yuzuru held the missing person insect in his hand, his heart filled with frustration.

The missing person worm, which I had just created at the cost of a finger, was ruined by a dog.

Insects are very resilient. Once it has repaired itself, it should still be usable, right?

Thinking of this, Otonashi Yuzuru's gaze towards Nakamura Yuri unconsciously carried a hint of hostility.

"Finding someone with a bug? Are you kidding me? Instead of daydreaming here, why don't you come with me? Once I find my family, I'll lend you this search dog."

"Aren't you just like me? Finding someone with a dog? That's a complete fantasy."

As the two were talking, a blue butterfly flew over from a distance and landed on Otonashi Yuzuru's shoulder.

"What is this?"

Otonashi Yuzuru, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but slap him.

However, the palm passed right through it.

"Why can't I touch it? It's like a phantom."

At that moment, Tachibana Kanade ran over from a distance, staring intently at the blue butterfly on Otonashi Yuzuru's shoulder and his heart.

Is that you?

"You...you're not an angel? How come you're here?" Yuri Nakamura stared at Kanade Tachibana in disbelief.

Over the past few months, she has been fighting against what she considers her enemy, Tachibana Kanade, and has concluded that he is God's lackey angel.

But now, a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

Am I making the wrong judgment all along?

"I am not an angel." As she spoke, Tachibana Kanade stared intently at Otonashi Yuzuru's heart.

really!

At that moment, Yuri Nakamura suddenly felt ashamed and really wanted to find a corner to hide in.

This is terrible! I mistook a girl my own age for an "angel," and even formed a group to fight against her for months.
