Look carefully, this is how realm is used!

"No, Yato, your clothes!"

"Yukine, what's wrong with you?!"

The remaining dizziness disappeared, and Yato and Yukine pointed at each other and screamed in horror.

Yato's usual sweatshirt set was gone, and Yukine's thick winter coat was nowhere to be found.

The two men were shirtless, wearing fighting gloves on their hands and shorts underneath.

This outfit makes him look like a fighter about to go into battle.

Yato is okay, his appearance is there, but Yukine, who looks like a little boy, is obviously not suitable.

"Aren't we here to rescue Hiyori?"

"Why is this happening?"

Looking down at herself, Yukine was at a loss.

"Anyway, take a look around first."

After rubbing Yukine's head a few times, Yato looked around and decided to take action. Panic was not an option.

During the time that Yato and Yukine were delayed, the competition in the ring seemed to be getting intense. Amidst the noise from the audience, the outsiders looked over there.

A standard fighting arena with two contestants moving around.

Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Sanda, kicking...

You and I fight back and forth, showing human fighting skills.

"Jungle - Spin Kick!"

Following the woman's shout, one of the contestants unleashed a powerful kick, sending his opponent flying.

"Hiyori?! ×2"

Yato and Yukine stayed in the audience, staring at the girl sweating in victory in amazement.

That's right, the girl was the one that Iki Hiyori, Yato, and Yukine wanted to rescue.

We came in together, but now we are separated.

"I know Hiyori has a talent for fighting, but her fighting ability is nothing like that of an ordinary girl."

Looking back at the sturdy man lying on the ground, Yato sighed.

"From now on, Yato, try not to make Hiyori angry."

Yukine, who tried to persuade him, compared her own small body and killed her delusion that she could beat Iki Hiyori in a fight.

As a hidden boxing and wrestling enthusiast, Iki Hiyori has fighting potential and is proficient in various fighting techniques. His fighting ability should not be underestimated.

"Hey! Yato, Yukine, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, without any warning, the voice of Shen Fuyuan was heard.

"Yuan, you're here too?!"

Yato looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice.

"No, I'm still in the outside world."

Shen Fuyuan's words of denial were clearly conveyed without being affected by the other noise.

"Yato-chan, there's me too!"

"Dahei and Zhao Ma are also here."

Before Yato could ask further questions, Kofuku barged into the exchange.

"Hush up, Fuku-chan. Yato is trying to save Hiyori."

Following Xiaofu, it is Daikoku who stops her.

"Now that you are in the realm of memory, please describe the situation to us first. If you don't understand something, we can discuss it together."

Without Xiaofu interrupting, Shen Fuyuan continued to talk about business.

Outside, the four people in the room sat around the table, noting the shiny folding fan placed in the middle as a communicator.

The communication function was added by Shen Fuyuan just in case. This is the limit, so forget about the projection function.

"I see."

Yato's reply came from the folding fan.

Following Shen Fuyuan's words, Yato recounted his experience.

Excluding Xiaofu, Shenfuyuan, Zhaoma, and Daikoku who are not good at thinking, analyze Yato's situation.

"The setting for the fighting tournament should be a fragment of Hiyori's memories. Unlike you, she is currently in a deep sleep as the host."

"As for Hiyori in the ring..."

Shen Fuyuan pursed his lips, and many ideas flashed through his mind.

"Yato! Hiyori's been knocked down!"

Yukine's anxious shouts overwhelmed the quiet atmosphere.

Yato, who was concentrating on the phone, looked back at the ring.

With her hair disheveled, Iki Hiyori huddled in the corner of the ring, her opponent stopped one meter away.

Compared to the previous strong man, he, as a man, has a stronger physique and is like a little giant.

Yato's whole body began to cool down, and murderous intent gradually spread to the surroundings. Even though the person in front of him was not Iki Hiyori's real body, he still had a strong desire to kill.

Seeing Yato's terrifying appearance, Yukine couldn't help but tremble, and she quickly woke him up and pulled him back.

Of course Yukine wanted to teach those who bullied Iki Hiyori a lesson, but that didn't mean she wanted Yato to become like that.

The girl that Yato and Yukine were worried about suddenly became abnormal, her whole body twisted, and then disappeared.

What was even more bizarre was that in less than three seconds, another Iki Hiyori came on the court, and with a normal expression, he fought with his opponent for the second time.

"There's another Hiyori?"

Yukine was confused and couldn't figure out the reason.

Yato took a deep breath, and the lost warmth returned, his killing intent seemingly dissipated, but in reality, he was just suppressing it.

"There are new strange phenomena."

Yato calmed down and reported what had just happened.

"We are not at the scene, please observe for a while."

Zhao Ma suggested.

Unlike Yato, some things become inconvenient.

"Leave it to me, this is also for Hiyori."

The second half of the sentence seemed to remind himself not to be impulsive. Yato watched quietly, not missing any details.

Iki Hiyori was the second to appear, but he still failed to defeat his opponent and was unable to fight again. As expected, a third person appeared to replace him.

Yato stood still while restraining Yukine.

After several fighting competitions, Yato finally had some progress.

Iki Hiyori in the ring is both her and not her.

Chapter 18 Boss? Probably.

Yato observed carefully and found that there were some subtle changes every time Iki Hiyori appeared on the stage.

It’s not noticeable after just one time, but it’s different after several times.

It's not a question of dressing, it's a question of physical age.

As time went on, the defeated Iki Hiyori looked younger and younger, as if he was aging backwards, and his fighting skills became much less sophisticated.

Yato did not rush forward impulsively. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he did not forget to tell the outside world about his discovery.

"As the days go by and I grow younger..."

Dahei was deep in thought, his prickly beard rubbing against his fingers.

"Could those Hiyori be her old self?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ma expressed his opinion.

It's hard not to connect the two where Yato and Yukine are, and with the phenomenon of Iki Hiyori.

"Zhao Ma has similar ideas to mine."

Through the communication function of the folding fan, Yato agreed.

"Can memory be like this?"

Xiaofu was surprised and confused, not knowing the reason.

"It's very likely. Don't forget what I just said."

"Things in this realm are quite different from our outside world."

Shen Fuyuan also started to explain.

"But why a fighting match?"

This question came from Yukine. If Yato and Iki Hiyori were not there, and if Shenfu Yuan and others were not on the phone, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place.

"Maybe it's because of the home field relationship."

"The level difference between the two sides is not big, so it is understandable that Hiyori has some privileges."

Shen Fuyuan continued.

"If my current speculation is correct, the Hiyori you saw, Yato, represents both the remaining memories and the will to resist."

"Because of her instinctive resistance, Nora's magic didn't consume all of Hiyori's memories at once."

"Thinking about it the other way around, since the Hiyoris in the ring are multiple memories of the original body, what do you think the opponents they're fighting are?"

The question of Shen Fu Yuan is not difficult to answer.

"It's Nora's magic."

"Hiyori symbolizes resistance, and Nora's magic is invasion."

Zhao Ma was the first to figure it out.

Memories can be materialized, so there's no reason why spells can't be.

After all, this is a special occasion. It is better to think about the puzzle by temporarily abandoning common sense.

"What we have to do is to eliminate all of Hiyori's opponents."

A malicious thought appeared on Yato's face, and Yukine's expression was not much different.

"Be careful not to get hurt too badly during the battle. It will affect your body. At the very least, your spirit will atrophy for a few days, and at the worst, you'll be bedridden for half a month."

Shen Fuyuan's reminder made Yato and Xue Yin pay attention.

"Get on it, Snow Gear!"

Yato, knowing what to do, calls out to Yukine using Onyomi.

Yukine transformed into a snow-colored katana and was held in Yato's hand.

He jumped up and looked down.

"Don't be afraid or hesitate. That's not a person, it's just a spell."

"In other words, for Hiyori to help me out!"
