I'm doing abstract animation

"what?"

Yui Yuigahama glanced at the account on her phone, then looked at Yuki, who was leaning out the window.

I didn't even see Yuuki take out his phone, so how did he get approved so quickly...?

Volume 1: Chapter 7 Yuuki Osamu, who loathes everything

"Yuki-kun, I am Yuigahama Yui."

After thinking for a moment, Yui Yuigahama added a silly dog-like grinning emoji.

"I know, did anything happen to you last night? Like, did you have a dream, a dream, or a dream..."

A reply came quickly on her phone, but the content of it made Yui Yuigahama unable to smile.

However, Yui Yuigahama looked curiously at the figure sitting by the window, who was still the same, propping her head up with one hand and looking out the window, without making any move to type on her phone.

How... how did you do that?

She became increasingly curious and quickly typed another message.

"Seriously, Yuuki-kun, you're so mean. You knew exactly what was going to happen, didn't you?"

This time, she didn't rush to send it, but stared at Yuki Risa before choosing to send it.

She received a reply the very next second.

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you."

So fast!

Yui Yuigahama's pupils dilated in shock, and Yuuki Ri was still in the same position, completely unaware that he was playing on his phone!

She swallowed hard, then carefully continued typing, but before she could finish, Yuuki sent another message.

Yui Yuigahama clicked on it, and it was a picture.

The picture shows a pink-haired girl looking down at her phone in her seat, while behind her stands Hiratsuka-sensei with a dark expression...

'No, no way...'

Yui Yuigahama froze, cautiously turning around to meet Hiratsuka-sensei's dark face.

Yuigahama Yui: "..."

......................................................

During her lunch break, Yui Yuigahama, showing no signs of fatigue, hurriedly took out her phone, ready to ask Riki Yuuki how he managed to do it.

However, the person in question took the initiative to step forward.

"Come out with me."

Ignoring the various stares from the popular girl group, Yuuki sent a notification to Yui Yuigahama and then left the classroom.

"Oh……"

Yui Yuigahama responded and obediently followed behind him.

"...How arrogant."

Miura Yumiko's eye twitched, looking somewhat displeased.

That's just how people are. Yui doesn't seem to mind when she's being called around by others, but she gets annoyed when she sees someone else calling her name.

"Hehe, maybe Yui likes being like this?"

Hina Ebina said with a smile from the side.

"Ha, how could anyone like being treated like this?"

Yumiko Miura scoffed, completely oblivious to her own reaction.

Ebina Himina: "..."

Forget it, everyone has their own way of living, I don't need to bother with this...

Yukiri led Yui Yuigahama all the way up to the rooftop.

Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, what did you dream about last night?"

Yui Yuigahama immediately perked up and told everyone what had happened the night before, even mentioning that she had cried for most of the night.

Yuuki Osamu: "...There's no need to go into such detail."

After listening, he asked thoughtfully, "Do you remember what that amusement park looked like?"

"This……"

Yui Yuigahama was a little embarrassed. She was completely stunned at the time. How could she possibly still pay attention to that amusement park? It was already quite good that she mentioned it casually.

"Tsk."

Yuki Ryo pursed his lips; he knew this expired second female lead was unreliable.

But he soon revealed a playful smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, that card was already gone when you woke up, right?"

Yui Yuigahama nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I put it next to my pillow, but it was gone when I woke up this morning. I was thinking of keeping it as a souvenir..."

She felt a little regretful...

“No need to regret it.” Yuuki’s smile became increasingly mischievous. “That card has become one with you. You can stay with it forever.”

Yui Yuigahama: "W-What do you mean?"

She had a very bad feeling.

Yuki glanced at the wall to the right rear of the rooftop without any expression, then walked to the rooftop railing.

Facing the sea breeze, he squinted slightly and said, "There are many types of cards, but there are only two ways to use them. One is to use them as summons, which requires one to have certain special powers. The other is to integrate them into oneself and obtain the power of the card."

"To integrate the cards into oneself requires a process, and this process is called resonance."

"Each card tells a story, and resonance means immersing yourself in that story, understanding it, and empathizing with the characters within it."

"You're lucky. Even though it's just an R card, you managed to achieve resonance in just one night. I can't even compare to you in that respect."

At this point, Yuki's tone became a little strange. He really didn't expect that this ordinary, washed-up female supporting character could integrate into the card so quickly. Could it be that the theory of luck is true?

The theory of destiny was a hypothesis that Yuki Risa made when selecting characters for the mission. It involved selecting characters from works that existed in this world to see if they could awaken their abilities faster. He originally thought it was just a fallacy, but it turned out to be true. Now, he is only one step away from true awakening.

This is good news for him.

Yui Yuigahama scratched her collar in confusion: "So, according to what you said, I should have become like you by now, but why do I feel..."

She felt a little embarrassed to say it, but after witnessing Yuuki Risa's incredible skill last night, cutting down a giant spider like it was nothing, she sadly realized that she might not even be as good as a weakling...

"That's because you haven't awakened yet."

Yuuki shook her head, then her expression turned serious: "Then, Yui, I need to ask you a question, please answer it seriously."

"Hi!"

Seeing Yuki Rin become serious, Yui Yuigahama also involuntarily stood up straight.

"Yui Yuigahama, do you have the courage to side with the devil?"

Yuki's voice was deep and serious, mimicking the voice from the Batman movies he had seen in his previous life...

In short, he used two inside jokes, which made Yuuki feel quite comfortable. However, it was a pity that no one in this world knew about these inside jokes.

The thought of this instantly soured his previously good mood. He hated this world; he didn't even have anyone to share memes with.

Yui Yuigahama: "...Yuuki-kun, is your throat bothering you?"

That guiding voice sounded like it was choking on a mouthful of phlegm...

Yuuki Risa: "..."

Family members, does anyone understand why this idiotic, expired second female lead is actually concerned about my throat at a time like this?

Yuki sighed, instantly feeling bored. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a gleaming silver object, which she then tossed to her.

Yui Yuigahama hurriedly took the thing, and when she looked closely, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Y-Y-Yuki-kun, this-this-this..."

Yuki Osamu said expressionlessly, "This is an awakening device."

"No, no, no, this thing looks like..."

"This is the Awakening Device."

Yuki explained expressionlessly, "Because at your current level, you are not able to mobilize the power within your body on your own. You need the help of the Awakening Device. The method of use is very simple: just point it at your head."

Yui Yuigahama's lips twitched. Really? She examined the object in her hand, looking at it from left to right. No matter how she looked at it, it looked exactly like a handgun!

Would you shoot yourself in the head with this thing?

"Yuki-kun, we shouldn't have any grudge against each other, right..." Yui Yuigahama said weakly, trying to hand the gun back to him. "Besides, carrying something like that on your person is a criminal offense, and a very serious one at that..."

She, Yui Yuigahama, is a beautiful high school girl who doesn't want to be rich and carefree at such a young age.

"Oh, are you sure you want to give it back to me?" Yuuki Osamu narrowed her eyes slightly, a strange smile playing on her lips. "Well, Yuihama-san, have you ever heard of this saying?"

"W-what words?"

Yui Yuigahama involuntarily took a step back. For some reason, she felt that Yuuki-kun was a little scary... no, she should call him terrifying.

“Mystery attracts mystery.” Yuuki scoffed. “You don’t actually think last night’s events were the final chapter, do you?”

"You've already merged with that card, one foot already in the mystical realm. Your allure to monsters far surpasses that of ordinary people."

Yui Yuigahama's face turned pale as she recalled the scene from last night.

Although the dream had lessened her fear of spiders, the sudden mention of it by Yuuki Osamu brought back the terrifying scenes she had witnessed in the alternate dimension.

She squeezed her legs together; oh no, she felt she needed to pee again…

"Do you think I'm giving you a choice?" Yuki glanced at her indifferently.

"Your death will have no impact on me whatsoever. Believe me, even if everyone in Chiba were to perish, I could still be laughing and drinking Coke."

"Think about it carefully. I've never been very patient."

Yuki left, leaving Yui Yuigahama standing there, pale-faced and clutching a pistol.

After a long while, Yui Yuigahama finally hid the pistol inside her clothes with trembling hands and dragged her heavy steps downstairs.

A thought also arose in her mind: Yuuki Osamu seemed a little different from what she had imagined...

After the two left, a figure in a white coat emerged from behind the wall to the left rear of the rooftop.

Are these two kids...doing cosplay?

Hiratsuka Shizuka smoked her cigarette in a daze. She felt a generation gap between herself and today's children. She hid behind the wall and listened for a long time, but she couldn't understand a single word. Or perhaps, having read shonen manga for years, she actually understood.

It's nothing more than a clichéd shonen manga opening.

But comics are comics, and reality is reality. When dialogue from a comic appears in real life, she finds it a bit confusing.

but……

"That transfer student seems to have a lot of problems..."

With a sigh, Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her hair in frustration. Although she couldn't understand what the two students were talking about, she was extremely sensitive to their emotions.

She could just discern from Yui Yuigahama's tone of voice her initial curiosity, then her fear, and finally her helplessness. If it were cosplay, she would give it a 90 out of 100.

Yuuki... She could hear the impatience and teasing in the boy's voice, but she also had a strange feeling she had never had before, as if this boy was cut off from the whole world...

Is it a mask?

Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head. She didn't think so. She instinctively felt that the boy's personality was completely unpretentious.

What exactly is that...?

"Annoying..." Hiratsuka Shizuka helplessly stubbed out her cigarette and sighed.

"And what exactly is that awakening device? What's illegal to carry around? I'm a little curious... Oh well, maybe it's part of their cosplay... Wait, am I part of it too?"
