Chapter 161

Is my counter-reconnaissance awareness really that poor?

To think I was actually discovered!

"It doesn't matter, we were going to look for you later anyway."

Hideyoshi waved his hand, indicating it didn't matter, and that today's outfit was also very cute.

"Thanks for forgiving me!"

Natsuki Subaru let out a sigh of relief.

"Sit down." Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, her expression indifferent.

"..."

For a moment, Natsuki Subaru was a bit flattered, but he sat down honestly nonetheless.

He was also surprised; why were these Sky-Curtain Masters meeting in reality?

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit quiet.

Everyone present was curiously sizing each other up.

"Speaking of which, I remember the information online indicated that Miss Nishimiya isn't a local, right?"

Immediately, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but break the silence, taking a sip of hot coffee and asking in surprise.

"Woo woo..."

The brown-haired girl nodded and gestured with sign language, leaving Natsuki Subaru more confused the more he watched.

Damn it.

I can't understand it!

As if sensing Subaru's distress, Hideyoshi at his side revealed a calm smile and explained, "It was Miss Kurumi who approached her and suggested everyone meet up, although Miss Nishimiya is from Tokyo."

"But Chiba City is only about forty kilometers from Tokyo, about an hour by the JR Keiyo Line."

"It's very fast~."

By the end of the sentence, despite the neutral voice, one could hear a cute, playful tone.

So moe o(*▽)ツ.

Natsuki Subaru smacked his lips; even though he knew Hideyoshi wasn't a girl, he was still charmed by the cuteness.

However...

"Miss Kurumi is...?"

Natsuki Subaru was a bit curious.

"Ara ara, that would be me~."

Beside the brown-haired girl, the mysterious girl with twin tails smiled.

"Then, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Tokisaki Kurumi, and my dream is to become an ally of justice~."

97. The Reality Master Mutual Aid Society is Established!!!

Half an hour later, inside the Hoshino Cafe, the five of them gradually became familiar with each other, smiles constantly on their faces as they chatted about these various matters of reality and the Sky Curtain.

There was not only longing for the Heroic Spirits but also their own personal changes.

But regardless, these influences were all positive changes.

"Ah, it seems everyone has become a big star."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the few masks and baseball caps placed on the coffee table, feeling a bit emotional.

He didn't have much screen time in the Sky Curtain, and his image wasn't likable.

In reality, everyone kept him at a distance, and he didn't have many friends; now, he felt like he had found his own kind.

The others, however, sighed helplessly.

"Everyone is too enthusiastic, making it exhausting for this old one to handle."

Hideyoshi was a bit troubled, "Perhaps being too popular isn't a good thing."

Among the seven Masters of the parallel world, setting aside the male and female leads with the most screen time, his popularity was the most explosive; people often camped out to get his autograph or take photos, and some dangerous individuals even tried to snatch him home.

What is this, this old one isn't a woman, why be so fanatical.

Friends at school even joked about heads falling off, headless knights, how miserable it was—a burst of laughter and teasing; although Hideyoshi knew they were comforting him, his heart was still very complicated.

There was another change.

Perhaps it was because he admired Kojiro that he started practicing kendo.

Hideyoshi seemed to have opened the floodgates, and the others also began to vent their grievances.

It was probably a happy kind of trouble.

As for why there were so few Masters present?

Mouri Kogoro was too old and had a generation gap with them, and the other two...

Aki and Cheng-ge had now fallen to the point where everyone shouted for them to be beaten.

Moreover, the impression they left on everyone in the Sky Curtain was very bad, so Kurumi didn't call them over.

And as for the other one, no one dared to disturb them rashly; that person was even stronger than the Heroic Spirits of the Sky Curtain, okay?

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru shuddered and began to tremble.

The "King of Purge" who made things difficult for that person in the Sky Curtain was himself, and he even had B-shu attack the parallel world's Yukino; if he called them over and they scattered his ashes, wouldn't that be an unjust death?

Shaking his head to cast aside his messy thoughts, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask.

"Is this gathering just for us few Masters? So Miss Kurumi is...?"

"Ara, little brother is very impatient; as for why I am here..."

Kurumi reached out, her lips pursed into a heart-stirring smile, and on her fair wrist, three blood-red markings formed a sharp contrast.

This is...

Natsuki Subaru's pupils shrank, and he was somewhat dazed; after coming to his senses, he looked at the few of them in shock and confusion.

Yukino and Nishimiya Shoko looked at each other and also reached out their hands; both their fair wrists had Command Spells.

The scarlet Command Spells were so dazzling, so conspicuous!

Natsuki Subaru:?

He was stunned, the whole person kneeling on the ground, looking down at his own empty wrist, instantly feeling heartbroken.

So, only I don't have one?

No...

There is one other person who doesn't have one either.

He looked up excitedly, and under Hideyoshi's confused gaze, he pounced like a lion, giving "her" an intimate bear hug, excitedly saying: "Hideyoshi, you are my friend for life!"

"Damn it, this old one won't be happy with that kind of reason!"

Hideyoshi was instantly speechless, sweat on his forehead, struggling with his hands and feet.

Several girls watched this scene happily, unable to help but reveal beautiful smiles.

After the two of them messed around for a while.

This group of Masters finally began to discuss serious business.

"When did you... no, how did you get the Command Spells?"

Natsuki Subaru asked curiously.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked calm:

"When the Sky Curtain broadcasted my decisive battle with Heroic Spirit Yukino, my hand hurt, and I resonated with the self from that world, and then the Command Spell awakened; incidentally, I seem to be able to sense Magic Circuits now."

"Woo woo woo..."

Across the seat, the brown-haired beauty Shoko was a bit anxious, reaching out and gesturing.

Hideyoshi acted as the translator again, calmly saying: "Shoko means that when C-ma was dying, the two of them held hands, her heart twinged, and she fell to the ground crying, and suddenly the Command Spell appeared."

"I see..."

Everyone was a bit enlightened, unwilling to continue picking at Shoko's scars, and immediately looked at the mysterious Kurumi.

This person didn't appear in the Sky Curtain, so how did she get the Command Spell?

"Oh my?"

Kurumi raised an eyebrow, taking a bright red Killing Stone from the lining of her skirt, "It was because of this; the moment I held it, it turned into a stream of light and flew onto my wrist, forming the Command Spell pattern."

"Perhaps because of it, I also mastered another type of magecraft."

"I used one, and I have one left over; who wants it?"
