'Yoshino, can you hear me? It's gaia~ Your dearest, dearest, dearest gaia.' Just as Yoshino and Evangeline and the others were about to go to Nagi's former residence in the Old World, the voice of Gaia Loli came from Yoshino's heart, causing Yoshino to raise an eyebrow. Why would she contact me at such a time? Could it be that something is about to happen? "Yoshino, what's wrong?" Evangeline, who was constantly monitoring Yoshino's condition, asked with a puzzled look. 'Could it be that the previous actions of 'evil' caused the Magic of Darkness to affect her heart? That's right, forty-two families, at least hundreds of people, would more or less have some impact on Yoshino.'
"Nothing, I was just spacing out about something. I'm fine, Kitty." Yoshino, regaining her senses, saw Evangeline looking at her with concern. She smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. 'It seems Kitty can't hear my conversation with gaia and the others. That's good; there's no benefit for her to overhear this kind of talk.'
'Ouch, Alaya-chan, why did you hit me?' Just as Yoshino was about to reply to Gaia Loli, Gaia Loli let out a cry of pain, followed by a wronged sound. It seemed alaya must have dealt with her; otherwise, this wouldn't be happening.
'Do your job properly! Don't act cute for no reason; have some self-awareness as an inhibitor! And we called Yoshino this time for important business.' alaya's calm yet slightly stern voice came through. As Gaia Loli's guardian-like existence, her unreliable behavior caused her endless worry.
'I know, but it's better to discuss this face-to-face. And I also want to see Yoshino. Hehe~' Gaia Loli's slightly gloomy voice came, and then Yoshino found that the surrounding time had stopped. Evangeline next to her, and Waka Miyazaki and Yue Ayase following behind her, all their movements ceased.
'This is the power of Time Stop. With Sister Kurumi's abilities, she couldn't possibly do this. As expected of an inhibitor, even if gaia is usually unreliable, she's actually a very powerful person.' Her left eye transformed into an ancient golden clock. With Yoshino's current abilities, she couldn't analyze how this move was performed.
"No need to look, Yoshino. No matter how much you look, you won't be able to analyze the principle of this move, because only we, as inhibitors, are qualified to use it." Just as Yoshino was about to use analysis magic to analyze the current situation, Gaia Loli's voice came from behind her. As she tried to turn around to check, a heavy weight suddenly pressed onto Yoshino's back.
"Hehehe~ Long time no see, Yoshino. By your time, it should have been several months. Last time, Alaya-chan couldn't forget your cherry lips after kissing you, you know." Saying this, she reached out to caress Yoshino's cherry lips and gently blew a breath into her ear. The faint fragrance from Gaia Loli and the ticklish sensation on her ear made Yoshino's body tremble involuntarily.
"gaia! What strange things are you saying! I didn't mean Yoshino's..." A hint of pink appeared on alaya's face. As she tried to deny it, she saw Yoshino's cherry lips opening and closing, and the words in her mouth just wouldn't come out. Then, as if remembering something, her small face began to turn red at a visible speed. A large amount of steam even dramatically rose from her face. It seemed alaya truly missed Yoshino's cherry lips; otherwise, this wouldn't be happening. And...'She's surprisingly pure, alaya. She looks like such a dignified character, but this shy appearance now feels very cute. Is this what they call a gap moe? Yoshinon.' Yoshino secretly whispered to Yoshinon, who was watching the show in her hand, as she watched alaya gesticulating and arguing with Gaia Loli.
'Ya haha~ I didn't expect Yoshino to know about gap moe too. You're right, alaya's character setting is to hide her pure personality with a dignified and expressionless demeanor. It's just that this situation was fully revealed in the last instance.' The extent of alaya's mindset, as an inhibitor, is a fact, but in the presence of someone she truly cares about, she will show her true self.
"Stop messing around! You idiot!" As Yoshino and Yoshinon were whispering, alaya's somewhat exasperated voice came. They turned around to see what was happening and found Gaia Loli pushed to the ground by alaya, who was repeatedly rubbing her foot on her face.
"Why do you always! Always! Always! Make me angry! idiot gaia! Didn't I say we came to Yoshino for something important? What are you messing around for here!" alaya, who was constantly trampling Gaia Loli with her fair, tender feet, expressed her anger because this idiot had made her lose face in front of Yoshino.
However, Gaia Loli, who was pinned to the ground, showed no expression of remorse or pain; instead, her face flushed with excitement. As an inhibitor, alaya saw gaia's appearance and knew exactly what was happening with this idiot. This idiot was getting excited because of her abuse. How could this pervert develop such a constitution? How was she going to deal with her in the future?
"Hehe~ But every time I see Alaya-chan blushing and exasperated because of my words, I feel so excited. And..." She said, and to Yoshino's shocked expression, she grabbed alaya's small foot that was on her face, revealing a perverted expression, and said, "alaya's feet feel really good, just like that feeling last time. Hehe~ I think I'm getting a little addicted."
"You perverted idiot! Get away from me!" After saying that, alaya's small fists continuously landed on gaia's face, making her emit bursts of excited sounds.
"gaia has become so strange; she wasn't like this when we first met." Looking at the scene before her, Yoshino said with some hesitation. The daily life of these inhibitors made her feel a bit overwhelmed. Why did things turn out this way when they were supposed to be talking to her?
"Perhaps they started getting stranger and stranger after they found Yoshino. You know, inhibitors used to be full of dignity, but after meeting Yoshino, they slowly developed this unrestrained personality." Yoshinon said somewhat helplessly. Yoshinon, who maintained communication with them, had a record of their personality changes. Compared to when they first met, their current changes were truly too great.
"Eh? Is this my fault?" Yoshino pointed at herself, looking a bit at a loss. Making the inhibitors so strange, Yoshino felt her sin was a bit great.
"Well~ it's not exactly your problem. It's just that because they care about you, their personalities have undergone significant changes. To some extent, this is a good thing, Yoshino." Unlike the two inhibitors who were so lifeless before, gradually becoming more human, this change is quite good.
After a while, after alaya had finished lecturing Gaia Loli, she approached Yoshino with a slightly flushed face and said to her, "I'm sorry, Yoshino. For letting you see my strange side. Actually, the reason I asked you to come this time is to ask for your help. You know that gaia and I are inhibitors, and there are some things we need to consider carefully."
"Hmm? Is there a problem in another world?" Yoshino asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, because we inhibitors cannot interfere with worlds. And gaia's Heroic Spirits and my guardians haven't had time to come help recently, so we can only rely on someone I trust to come help. We thought about it from left to right and realized that the only person who can help us is you, Yoshino." alaya said, her eyes somewhat evasive, feeling a bit embarrassed about her actions.
Just as she was about to say something else, she felt her hand being held. She looked up curiously and saw Yoshino looking at her with a gentle expression.
"It's okay, alaya. You've always been helping me, and I'm happy to help you in return. Besides, I've been lazy enough staying in this world for decades; it's time to take some action." Thinking of the help the two had given her before, Yoshino had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay them. Now that she finally had a chance, Yoshino naturally had to seize it.
"I'm just worried about Kitty, because we just met again after so much difficulty. If I leave her side now, I'm worried that she, with her restored magic, might attack Mahora Academy." Even with half her magic, Yoshino was worried that the people of Mahora might not be able to withstand it. Moreover, Evangeline had also signed a contract with her, making it easy for her to unleash her full power in a short time. The current accumulation hasn't grown yet; if she unleashes her Magic of Darkness then, who can stop Evangeline?
"Ah, as for that problem, Yoshino, you don't have to worry. Because we already anticipated such a problem, I've already thought of a solution." gaia, who had just been playing dead beside them, suddenly stood up and said to Yoshino, "As long as you give us a portion of your magic, we can help you create a clone in this world that is connected to your spiritual power. This clone will draw the spiritual power it needs from you when using magic, so Evangeline won't even realize you've left this world."
"What about the contract? Kitty should be able to feel the presence of the contract, right?"
"So that clone is, in a sense, you. Just like the clones that appear when you use Eight Bullet (Het), that person is you. This way, the contract issue won't be discovered by her either." Gaia Loli explained. This method was a secret technique she researched to prevent accidents. (Actually, it was a secret technique she researched to be lazy and prevent alaya from finding out when she wanted to slack off. This method has kept her from being discovered by alaya for her laziness.)
"...I see. Then I'm relieved. As long as Kitty has no problems, I have no reason to refuse you," Yoshino said, sighing in relief. She had just told Evangeline that she wouldn't leave her, but then immediately went to another world. How was that any different from a boy who declares his love and promises to treat a girl well, but secretly dates other girls?
"Then let's start creating your clone. It's a simple matter; I'm already very experienced." After saying that, Gaia Loli placed her hand on Yoshino's breasts, making her let out a small gasp, while Alaya-chan looked on with a black line on her forehead. But immediately, she felt something separating from her body. After this sensation disappeared, Yoshino found a person exactly like herself standing beside her.
"It's truly a separation, just like the real me, without any strange aspects," Yoshino said with some surprise. Even she herself couldn't detect anything unusual about her other self. Not to mention anyone else. Even Yoshinon, who was on her hand, was perfectly replicated.
"Now you can go to other worlds to help without worry; I will watch over this world carefully, Main Body," the other Yoshino said with a smile. "When you return, I will transfer the memories of your absence to you, so Kitty won't notice anything strange."
"Mm, please take good care of Kitty for me. You know, even though she has lived for hundreds of years, sometimes she acts like a Little Girl. If she throws a tantrum, you must indulge her, okay?" Yoshino instructed. She felt a bit helpless about Evangeline's childlike personality, but perhaps that was also part of her charm.
"I know, Main Body. You know I have your previous memories; we are essentially one Main Body. I know how to take care of Kitty, so you can rest assured," the other Yoshino said gently.
'I always feel like these two are talking in a strange way,' Yoshinon thought to herself, feeling a bit odd. Then, seeing the puppet in the other's hand, she secretly whispered to her, "Don't you think this scene is like a conversation between two twins?"
"What's the big deal? Doesn't Yoshino have 'good' and 'evil' within her? By that logic, there should be triplets or quadruplets," she said dismissively. If one can't even get used to this situation, how will they handle more troublesome things later?
"Alright, Yoshino. The time stop limit is almost up. We need to leave here quickly." Suddenly, a swirling black hole appeared behind Yoshino; this was a black hole for world-crossing. "Once you pass through this black hole, you'll know which world we want you to go to. For now, we'll keep it a secret from you."
"Please hurry, Yoshino. If Evangeline accidentally discovers our existence, dealing with it later will be a bit troublesome," alaya said, a little anxiously.
"I understand. Then I'm off," Yoshino said seriously before walking into the black hole.
"Mm, be careful on your way, Yoshino." * 4
