"Hehehe~ It feels so good to properly tease this guy who wants to conquer Yoshino. Really, the story now won't follow the original plot. Unless he turns into Itsuka Shiori, I won't let him get close to Yoshino." On the way home from school, thinking about how she almost made Itsuka Shido, who had a good heart, faint today, Shiina's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. If he gets a wound on his body, he can recover, but if he has a heart attack and dies, can he be resurrected?
"He feels like the protagonist in many games, with a gentle heart, and I heard he almost died once during the Yatogami Tohka incident. I think the Spirit was moved by his gentleness and his spirit to save her even if it meant death." Minami Kotori lightly tapped her chin. Yoshino had told her and the others about Yatogami Tohka's incident before school yesterday. She was a little surprised by Itsuka Shido, who could survive even a fatal wound.
"Isn't this just the male lead of a typical harem anime, nya? Rin remembers seeing a unlucky guy named Kamijou Touma in Yoshino's previous world who was just like that. In the memories gaia gave Rin, it was about how he would always recklessly resolve incidents between beautiful girls, making the girls develop feelings for him while planting a seed of emotion in their hearts, which would then slowly sprout over time. Nya~ Was Yoshino already so dangerous in the previous world?" Hoshizora Rin covered her head, looking terrified. If this pattern continued, wouldn't it mean Yoshino could also be conquered by that unlucky guy? That certainly wouldn't do.
"You're overthinking it. One is a middle schooler and the other a high schooler. They don't meet often. And Yoshino has both Nozomi and the Academy City's Number One Esper protecting her. I don't think that person will have much of a chance to get close to Yoshino." Minami Kotori had visited that world to comfort Yoshino and knew more than Hoshizora Rin. After all, compared to the unreliable gaia, the information provided by the meticulous alaya was undoubtedly more detailed.
"Exactly. And that person has to worry about his monthly living expenses and broken cell phones every day. The monthly expenses are already giving him a headache. He doesn't have time to get close to Yoshino. Besides, he now has a big-eating nun living at home, so he's probably worrying about tomorrow's life every day." Toujou Nozomi had witnessed Index's terrifying appetite. Even the combined appetites of all nine Muse members weren't as large as hers. Perhaps only Yatogami Tohka could compare with her.
"Ahaha~ You shouldn't talk about Mr. Kamijou and Shido-kun like that. After all, in some sense, they didn't intentionally try to conquer girls. Mr. Kamijou and Shido-kun opening harems with their lives and all, that's not happening... probably." Yoshino, who had originally wanted to defend them, spoke softer and softer. Because, knowing the most, she thought about it carefully and it really seemed to be as they said.
Kamijou Touma had suffered amnesia because of Index, had his right hand cut off while saving Himegami Aisa, fought the strongest Accelerator in the Misaka Imouto incident, saved Kazari Hyouka, and also saved the nun Orsola Aquinas. Shirai Kuroko was also saved during the 'Tree Diagram's' remains recovery incident. In all these various incidents, Kamijou Touma almost always ended up in the hospital, or at least injured. She remembered that according to statistics, Kamijou Touma's harem seemed to include over a thousand Misaka Imouto.
Itsuka Shido had a large hole in his stomach to conquer Yatogami Tohka, and was finally resurrected by Kotori's spiritual power. In Yoshino's original story, he also broke into the barrier and returned Yoshino's puppet to her. Tokisaki Kurumi was almost 'eaten'. Later, there was even an incident where a satellite crashed into Earth. The more Yoshino thought about it, the more she sweated. She couldn't find any strong evidence to explain for the two of them.
"It seems Yoshino has no reason to refute us. Even if you're kind, you need evidence to explain for them. But facts are facts; even if their harem-building behavior wasn't their original intention, they still did it. There's nothing to explain." Toujou Nozomi clenched her fist in front of Yoshino, her smile growing even brighter.
"Such indecisive guys will sooner or later be controlled by their desires, and I think Yoshino, you know what will happen then." She opened her hand, and a tarot card magically appeared in her palm, marked with 'degenerate'. "To protect Yoshino's safety, I and everyone who has a contract with Yoshino will protect her safety. Hmm?"
Suddenly, a man with golden-brown eyes, resembling a Western handsome man, appeared on the street!
The moment she saw this person, Yoshino's mind instantly brought up detailed information about him... Kannazuki Kyouhei, Vice Commander of Ratatoskr.
This person before her was a memorable character. The reason he was memorable was due to a peculiar trait he possessed.
Kannazuki Kyouhei was a masochist.
Looking at Kannazuki Kyouhei, whose face was serious and eyes full of solemnity, no one would have imagined that this handsome man with Western features actually possessed a masochistic trait.
Kannazuki Kyouhei took a deep breath, then bowed to Yoshino and the others. "Nice to meet you, I am Kannazuki Kyouhei, Vice Commander of Ratatoskr."
"Our Commander wishes to meet you. Would you please come with me? Don't worry, we have no ill intentions towards you."
Yoshino and the others were momentarily stunned, then relieved. After all, their goal was to save all the Spirits. As a Spirit, Yoshino was naturally on their radar.
But was now the right time for them to meet the people of Ratatoskr? Yoshino and the others couldn't help but look at Toujou Nozomi.
"...Go," Toujou Nozomi thought for a moment, then looked up at everyone and whispered, "Yoshino has a mission in this world, to maintain good relations with the Spirits. I remember the other party is also a Spirit, and for that reason, we also need to make a trip to Ratatoskr." To generate a complete kabbalah tree of life within one's body requires the power of various particles. It's still far from enough.
"Mm!" Itsuka Kotori, the fifth particle, was also her goal. Although she didn't know if Itsuka Shido was the fourth sephirah of the kabbalah tree of life, Itsuka Kotori still needed her to build a good relationship.
"In that case, lead the way." Having made up her mind, Toujou Nozomi tilted her head and spoke directly without further ado.
"Then, please follow me." Kannazuki Kyouhei smiled slightly, turned around, and began to lead the way.
