"Are you worried that if someone really kills a Spirit, the world might really be destroyed as Sister Nozomi said? Yoshino." Minami Kotori said with some confusion, looking at Yoshino's slightly pale face. She still didn't quite understand the differences between different worlds; after all, not long ago, she was just an ordinary high school girl.
"Yes, if one of the ten particles of the kabbalah tree of life is missing, will it affect this world? Different worlds have different power systems, just like the difference between your world, Sister Nozomi, and Sister Yuriko's world. One is ordinary with no extraordinary existence, but Sister Yuriko's world has demon gods. So I'm worried that if something goes wrong with this world, it might be reset."
"Hmm, after all, many people with power tend to have the idea of 'there are always evil people trying to harm me.' They will try every means to control any existence that exceeds their control. If that doesn't work, they can only resort to unscrupulous methods to eliminate them. Finally, after saying some profoundly righteous words, no one will blame them, because they are the superiors. They believe their lives are the most important, and any existence that threatens them is wrong! And should not exist." There are such high-ranking people in every world, but this often leads to their demise.
Shiina said with disdain, just like Isaac Ray Peram Westcott of DEM Inc. in this date a live world, who is obsessed with Spirit power. He has similar abilities to Itsuka Shido, but his is to seize the inverse crystals of reversed Spirits to use Demon Kings, which is completely opposite to Itsuka Shido sealing Spirits and using their Angels.
"Hehe~ It's just, why are you thinking about the destruction of this world, Yoshino? These aren't problems you should be worrying about, are they?" Seriously, does this child think of herself as a savior? Why is she still worrying about whether this world will be destroyed?
"Ah~ Seriously! Yoshino, wake up now. You are just Muse's mascot! Saving the world and such, why do you bother with those troublesome things! Your main concern should be how to act cute to make everyone in Muse happy." Toujou Nozomi said with dissatisfaction, pulling Yoshino's little face, making her soft little face into various funny shapes, ignoring Yoshino's teary-eyed, pitiful appearance at the moment.
"You're just a tiny Yoshino, yet you're so arrogant. Your main task is to act cute to make everyone happy and let everyone know how adorable you are. It's not to learn from the protagonists of hot-blooded anime and try to save the world. Besides, saving the world isn't something a Little Loli like you needs to be responsible for. Staying by everyone's side is the most important thing." Looking at Yoshino's moist eyes, it seemed as if tears would flow at any moment. Toujou Nozomi looked at the adorable Yoshino with satisfaction, then hugged her tightly in her arms, the close embrace making it difficult for Yoshino to breathe the surrounding air, giving her a feeling of suffocation.
"Hehe~ I agree with Sister Nozomi on this, Yoshino. Although this is your primary world, the 'great task' of saving the world can still be left to the protagonist of this world: Itsuka Shido. Yoshino, who has already made a contract with gaia and alaya, doesn't need to worry about these things. You should know that you don't belong to just one world. You are a treasure of multiple worlds, how can we let you worry about just one world?" Minami Kotori giggled and hugged Yoshino from the other side. She had been a little worried, but after hearing Toujou Nozomi's words, she also realized. Why should Yoshino worry about these things? Is it because the power within Yoshino makes her do it? Forget it! I choose to just chill.
"Yes! Yes! Hoshizora Rin wants to play with Yoshino, meow~ Yoshino doesn't need to bother with those troublesome things. When the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Someone as cute as Yoshino, no one would bear to let her carry such heavy pressure, meow. One of Muse's tenets is to keep a happy smile on Yoshino's face every day, and we work hard every day for your smile, meow~" Hoshizora Rin hugged Yoshino from the last corner. Her tone was no longer so lively, but unusually gentle. This made Yoshino, who had been struggling, pause and turn to look at her.
"You guys, you're really annoying…" Shiina said helplessly. Yoshino clearly possesses mysterious Spirit power, sacred Angel power, the blessing of the 'LoveLive' world (necklace), and the memories of one hundred three thousand grimoire. She should have been the one to bear the crisis of a world, but how did she become just a cute mascot that only needs to act cute in their mouths?
'But…' Shiina could feel that the anxiety in Yoshino had greatly lessened, and she had returned to her previous calm state. 'Maybe saving the world really isn't suitable for Yoshino. They are right, why must one save the world just because they have power? Although I'm sorry to gaia and alaya, I was on Yoshino's side from the very beginning.' Seeing Yoshino smile every day is better than seeing her frown all the time.
Inside Yoshino's body, Astaroth, who was engaged in a struggle, felt the loss of her power and knew that the anxiety she had secretly intertwined in Yoshino's heart had now disappeared. Her plan had failed once again because of those humans.
"Hmph! It seems your plan has failed again, Astaroth. My guardian, though she likes to overthink, also has people who love her by her side. You want to make her despair, but that's impossible." Zadkiel said with a smile. She really hadn't misjudged them. Although Yoshino didn't reverse this time, it would still be very troublesome if this thought wasn't pulled away from Yoshino.
"Hmph! It's these humans again. They are clearly useless mortals. These creatures with only a hundred years of life have repeatedly stopped me." She couldn't understand why these humans, who were weak and incompetent in her eyes, could repeatedly destroy her plans. In the eyes of demons, humans are all powerless beings.
"You are right, humans are indeed weak beings with only a hundred years of life." No matter in which world, humans are such beings. "But it is precisely such people who possess all kinds of possibilities. For my cute guardian, they are willing to choose to become witches and other unconventional beings. The seven emotions and six desires of humans are things we cannot understand."
"Tch! What seven emotions and six desires! These are just emotions born from their weakness. A strong person doesn't need these things!" Unable to bear Zadkiel's expression, she decided to use all her current power to teach her a good lesson!
"However, it is precisely these emotions that make them strong! Strong enough to stop you demons! Astaroth!" The battle between angel and demon unfolded once again.
Meanwhile, Yoshino, who was looking shyly at Toujou Nozomi and the others in reality, suddenly heard urgent footsteps. She turned around and saw Itsuka Shido, holding Yatogami Tohka's hand, running non-stop. His panicked expression made it seem as if some flood or beast was chasing him.
But the crowd that appeared behind him next made everyone except Yoshino show an 'I see' expression.
Behind Itsuka Shido, a group of people in black robes, with red glowing eyes, holding grim reapers' scythes, were chasing Itsuka Shido, constantly shouting things like 'Execution!' Yoshino also seemed to see gasoline and torches.
"Shido, why are we running? Didn't you promise to take me to buy soybean bread? And why are those guys behind us chasing us? Are they enemies?" Yatogami Tohka asked, somewhat confused. She was walking perfectly fine in the shopping street today when suddenly these guys appeared, 'chasing' Itsuka Shido.
"Don't mind them, Tohka! We have soybean bread at home! The most important thing now is to get home safely!" Damn it! Why couldn't he contact Kotori from the beginning? What on earth was she doing?
She's currently busy deleting records of Toujou Nozomi's visit to Ratatoskr today, so she doesn't have time to deal with you.
'Can these dangerous items be openly brought onto the street like this?' Yoshino thought as Itsuka Shido and his group passed them. It was like Kamijou Touma being chased by delinquents, the only difference being that Itsuka Shido was running with a beautiful girl. What an enviable guy.
"That's why flaunting affection in front of single people will eventually come at a price." Toujou Nozomi said with emotion, smoothing her wind-blown hair.
"Indeed! But he was still holding Yatogami Tohka's hand at the end, so it seems to be true love." Minami Kotori said with a hint of sigh. Didn't he know that doing so would only increase their anger?
"Huh! It feels like we forgot something, meow." Hoshizora Rin rubbed her head, a little confused. She was about to say something but suddenly realized she seemed to have forgotten something, but she just couldn't recall it.
"Forgot what? No way. As for ingredients, we still have enough at home for a few days, so there's nothing forgotten." Toujou Nozomi and the other person said, somewhat confused. Only Yoshino began to think about what she had forgotten, after all, in the anime, when Hoshizora Rin says this, it means they definitely forgot something. You know, in the anime, they even forgot Empress Honoka in the car.
"Yoshino, little sister~ Come back and save me quickly~" At home, Honjou Nia was sprawled on the floor. She looked like she was on the verge of death.
"I'm hungry now~"
