Sister Rescue Plan

Izayoi Mirai intends to kill Takamiya Mio directly, while Kurumi wants to go back in time to kill her before the other spirits are created, thus averting all the tragedy.

Leaving aside the grandmother paradox, if Takamiya Mio, who had split ten spirit crystals and was at the lowest point of her power, could still instantly kill the spirits, then if she hadn't split a single spirit crystal, then her combat power in her full state would probably be off the charts.

Even though the boss has already been nerfed ten times, Izayoi Mirai doesn't want to go through all that hard work to level up only to come back and find the boss covered in buffs and at full strength.

The noisy commotion returned to the school. Kurumi had already removed the Time Barrier, and the unconscious teachers and students must have woken up and noticed the anomaly. So the question is, how is he going to get down here covered in blood?

He would probably have been taken to the police station on the spot. It just so happens that Kurumi Tokisaki ran away, so even if he had a mouth all over his body, he probably wouldn't be able to explain himself.

At that moment, Shiori tugged at his sleeve: "Mirai, would you like to come with me?"

I originally intended to engage in some trash talk before starting a fight, but as I wrote, I realized the atmosphere was getting off track...

Chapter Thirty-One: I'm the one who cheated on myself!

For the first time in reality, Izayoi Mirai ascended to the Fraxinus. Even the "dating experts" like Nakatsugawa felt their legs go weak when they saw him, after all, he had just performed a restricted-rated movie on the rooftop and now looked like a bloody mess.

They actually disagreed with putting Izayoi Mirai on board; it was far too dangerous. Unfortunately, on this airship, there was only one voice: the will of Commander Itsuka Kotori.

Kotori's right and left hands, Kannazuki and Murasame Reine, did not object, so their opinions were naturally ignored.

Of course, Kotori Itsuka was also confident. Fraxinus's AI had analyzed Izayoi Mirai's personality and knew that she wouldn't suddenly act crazy. Her affection for Shiori was also within a friendly range. As long as she didn't do anything reckless by kissing him again, the possibility of her taking action was almost zero.

Of course, most importantly, after observing the battle between Izayoi Mirai and Kurumi, Kotori discovered that this spirit's combat strength was surprisingly weak; she wasn't afraid at all in a real fight.

Izayoi Mirai looked around curiously, while Itsuka Kotori walked towards her and extended her hand:

"Hello, my name is Kotori Itsuka. I am the commander of Fraxinus and also Shiori's younger sister."

"Hello, my name is Izayoi Mirai, and I'm Shiori's classmate." He looked at the hand that Kotori Itsuka was holding and smiled. "There's no need for a handshake. The blood is sticky and it wouldn't be good if it got on you."

"It doesn't matter."

Despite saying that, Kotori Itsuka immediately withdrew her hand. Observing Izayoi Mirai's expression, she asked with some curiosity, "Izayoi-kun doesn't seem surprised?"

Izayoi Mirai smiled:

"To dare to attack a spirit and succeed, I wouldn't believe Shiori if you said she didn't have an organization behind her. Besides, I've hidden quite a few gadgets in Tengu City; they're my eyes and ears, so it's easy for me to spot anything unusual."

Is this also one of his abilities? Kotori Itsuka understood. Just as she had guessed, this spirit's abilities leaned towards various wondrous items rather than direct combat.

Izayoi Mirai stretched her arms and legs: "Let's talk about any problems later. Can I use the bathroom?"

“Of course.” Kotori smiled. “Shiori, take Izayoi to the bathroom.”

Seeing Kotori's smile, Izayoi Mirai's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling, but there was nothing she could do, as she really couldn't find the bathroom by herself.

Shiori led Izayoi Mirai to the bathroom, feeling a little nervous. She was just showing her the way, and she didn't know why she was nervous. She just suddenly remembered that in the adult games Kotori had used to train her on seduction techniques, there seemed to be quite a few scenes in the bathroom. Various blush-inducing images flooded her mind, but in order not to let Izayoi Mirai notice anything amiss, Shiori had to try her best to appear calm.

"This is the bathroom. You can take a shower first, and I'll go get you some clothes."

After saying that, she fled in panic.

As Izayoi Mirai watched Shiori's somewhat disheveled figure, she felt a little panicked. Was Kotori going to make him do something? Like, suddenly barging in while he was taking a shower in his swimsuit?

Just thinking about that scene made Mirai Yushou's head spin. He shuddered and decided to rinse off as quickly as possible.

He stripped naked in five seconds, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash over him. Most of the blood on his body had congealed, and he peeled it off like dead skin, revealing smooth, white skin. He quickly washed his hair and applied shower gel, while keeping an eye on the activity near the bathroom door.

Shiori stood at the bathroom door, holding a set of clothes, looking somewhat hesitant.

Thinking of the suggestion Kotori had given her earlier, she wanted to open the door but didn't have the courage. This was different from how she was trying to win over Tohka. She was very clear about one thing: whether it was gender or mindset, things were different from before. She was even more anxious and uncertain.

She reached for the doorknob, but stopped again. She remembered the kiss from last time. If she did the same thing again, would she be disliked again?

"Don't force yourself." Murasame Reine appeared beside her without her noticing. She took the clothes from Shiori's hands and spoke in a calm tone that sounded surprisingly reassuring. "If you don't want to do it, then you don't have to. You can't rush things like this."

She patted Shiori's head: "Kotori sometimes likes to act recklessly. We don't need to follow her pace. Please remember, you are the key to us. The whole of Fraxinus is at your service."

"I see."

Shiori relaxed. Reine looked quite reliable at this moment. Looking at her, Shiori felt as if she had found her pillar of support and stopped worrying. She bowed and said, "Then, please have Miss Reine deliver the clothes to Mirai for me."

Reine nodded, watching Shiori leave with light steps, then turned and opened the bathroom door.

"Who?"

Upon hearing the noise, Yoyo Mirai immediately called out to inquire.

"Analyze the information of Guancun Yulingyin and send you clothes."

It wasn't Shiori, and Izayoi Mirai breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait, something seems off. He suddenly realized that this name was none other than the clone of Mio Takamiya!

Cold sweat instantly seeped from her pores, only to be washed away by the water. Izayoi Mirai felt like her scalp was about to explode.

Did she discover that this imposter was trying to cheat on her and even turn her husband gay, so she decided to kill him to silence him?

Yosuke Mirai took a deep breath, inhaling the misty vapor into her lungs. She forced herself to calm down, telling herself not to panic. The problem was serious, and panicking wouldn't help.

Anyway, if she wants to make a move, I can't beat her.

After quickly rinsing himself off, the slightly variegated flames evaporated the moisture from his body, and he opened the door.

Murasame Reine had already left. Izayoi Mirai put on the clothes she had given her and walked out of the bathroom with a sense of tragic determination, as if she were about to embark on a journey from which she would never return.

As expected, Murasame Reine was waiting for him outside.

He asked casually, "Ms. Murasame, is there something you need that you've been waiting here for?"

"Don't be nervous, we won't slice you up."

Murasame Reine had dark circles under her eyes, but her gray eyes were unusually calm and clear, like the vast sky.

“I’m here just to clear up a misunderstanding.” She looked at Izayoi Mirai. “You seem to have some misconceptions about Shiori’s gender.”

Only those few guys who see Izayoi Mirai as a reborn spirit would probably think he believed that lame excuse.

Murasame Reine knew from the beginning that Izayoi Mirai was human, and she had seen magicians before, unlike the troops who now piloted the manifestation devices. They were people who truly controlled the magic power within their bodies and used magic.

After all, she was summoned by someone like that.

She said to Izayoi Mirai, "Shiori is indeed a girl, I hope you won't hurt her."

After saying that, she nodded to Izayoi Mirai and left.

What?! Shiori really is Shiori?!

Yuuyo Mirai found it hard to believe, after all, the first impression was too strong, but Takamiya Mio had no reason to lie to her.

and--

As Izayoi Mirai watched Murasame Reine's departing figure, she began to ponder another question:

Why did she tell me this?

Chapter Thirty-Two: I want one too!

In a spacious and bright office, a tall man in a black suit sat there. He had short gray hair that stood up straight like a hedgehog, and he looked very energetic.

The door opened, and a tall, slender blonde girl walked in, holding a document in her hand:

"Westcott, I have something to report to you."

"What report?"

"It's about two Pokémon. One is a AAA-rank Pokémon, Princess, who once appeared in the Kanto region but later disappeared. The other is a newly born Pokémon."

Westcott looked interested: "Let me see it."

The girl handed him the photos. There were two photos. One was of a voluptuous girl wearing a school uniform of some style. She had long black hair that reached her waist, a gorgeous face, and eyes like crystals.

The other picture shows a handsome young man, and the two are wearing the same uniform.

"Is this the princess and that new elf?"

Westcott's breathing quickened. Yes, putting aside the boy, he would never mistake the princess's appearance.

He forced himself to calm his agitated emotions: "What's going on? Why are these two elves going to school?"

The girl explained, "This girl is called Yatogami Tohka. She appeared after the Princess disappeared and transferred to Raizen High School. The boy transferred to Raizen High School a few days ago."

Westcott stroked his chin: "Is there anything special about this high school? What makes it attract two elves? Also, how did the Self-Defense Force handle it?"

"The Self-Defense Forces conducted an external detection test and found no spiritual wave reaction, so they concluded that she is not the [Princess]."

Westcott scoffed, "What a bunch of idiots! They only used that unreliable thing once. And what about the boy?"

The girl paused for a moment, without revealing that the "unreliable thing" Westcott mentioned was their company's product:

"It was a member of AST who first reported the information about this spirit. The other members of AST officially saw him when the Hermit appeared. He was with the Hermit, but at that time they only detected the Hermit's spirit wave reaction, so they concluded that he was just a passerby who was accidentally caught up in it."

“They should go to the hospital and have their brains checked,” Westcott calmly remarked. “Or are they just neglecting their duties, acting as pay thieves?”

"I will report these issues to the Self-Defense Forces."

“No, no, no, this is perfect. It gives us a place to get involved.” Westcott said with a smile. “Eleanor, make the arrangements. I’ve become interested in that city that attracts so many elves. Let’s go see what’s special about it. Also, while we’re at it, let’s meet the first male elf in history.”

“Please allow me to refuse,” said the girl named Ellen. “Westcott, this is too dangerous for you.”

“Don’t be like that, Ellen,” Westcott said easily. “Isn’t there you? You’re the strongest magician. My safety is in your hands.”

Eileen accepted the order: "Understood, I will be prepared."

She turned and left the office, leaving Westcott alone. He smiled, seemingly lost in thought: "You even chose a man. What exactly is your purpose, Mio Takamiya?"

On Fraxinus, Izayoi Mirai was saying goodbye to everyone on the airship. After a brief tour of the interior, she asked to leave, since she still had classes to attend.

Nakatsugawa and the others were overjoyed to see their guest off. Although they were extremely happy, they had to put on a reluctant expression and dared not say too much to persuade him to stay, for fear that the elf would really think that he was reluctant to part with him and wanted to stay for two days. If that happened, they would have to consider asking for leave.

It's a bit of a shame that Kotori Itsuka's grand strategy couldn't be fully implemented on Fraxinus. The problem of her favorability rating dropping here is quite serious. After all, a spaceship is very expensive to build, and if it's damaged, the organization behind her might not be willing to spend more money. They might even think that the Spirit conquest plan has failed and demand that the plan be abandoned.
