Chapter 665: Yoshino

"The weather today is a bit unusual!"

Lingyun held an umbrella and walked alone down the empty alley. This street was already quite remote, and with the rain now falling, it resulted in the alley being completely deserted.

He had originally gone out today to purchase some items to replenish the stock in his small shop over these past few days. Unexpectedly, after he finished buying things and came out, the previously clear sky began to cloud over, and then it started to drizzle.

"A stroll in the rain can also be considered a small pleasure." Lingyun extended his right hand out from under the umbrella, and a few raindrops fell into his palm.

"However, this rain doesn't seem to be a normal weather change, but rather caused by an external force! The only one who could cause this kind of weather would be the Fourth Spirit, Yoshino, right?"

From the raindrops falling into his hand, Lingyun sensed a distinct aura. Lingyun's Divine Sense instantly spread out in all directions. Before long, he discovered an existence whose body contained the same power as that within the rain.

Lingyun walked a few steps faster, turned the corner, and saw a small figure. It was a little girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. The little girl had soft, azure-blue long hair that was slightly curly, scattered casually over her shoulders. She wore a green cloak with rabbit-ear decorations that extended down to her calves. On her feet, she wore a pair of green shoes that looked like rain boots. Overall, the little girl looked as exquisite and cute as a French doll.

Immediately, Lingyun's gaze fell upon the little girl's hand. On her left hand, she wore a Rabbit puppet. One eye of this Rabbit puppet was covered by an eyepatch, making it look somewhat like a pirate.

Perhaps because there was no one else around, Yoshino was currently hopping about in the alley, a smile on her face. The Rabbit puppet in her hand was also clapping its hands, appearing to be very happy as well.

Suddenly, Yoshino turned around and happened to see Lingyun standing at the entrance of the alley. Seemingly not expecting that another person would appear here silently, a trace of panic appeared on Yoshino's face, and she hurriedly raised the Rabbit puppet in her hand while hiding her figure behind it.

Lingyun's gaze fell onto the puppet that Yoshino had raised, and a faint glimmer flashed in his eyes.

This puppet was no ordinary puppet; it was another personality created by Yoshino using her own Spirit Power, named Yoshinon. To Yoshino, Yoshinon held an extraordinary significance and was also her ideal self. According to Yoshino, Yoshinon was her friend and also her hero.

Under normal circumstances, it was Yoshinon who replaced Yoshino to communicate with surrounding things, so facing the suddenly appearing Lingyun, naturally, Yoshinon took on the task of communication.

Just as Lingyun was about to say something, the Rabbit puppet in Yoshino's hand suddenly spoke: "Oh my, what is this big brother doing standing here quietly? Could it be that you saw such a cute Yoshino and want to do something bad to Yoshino?"

Hearing Yoshinon's words, a few black lines could not help but appear on Lingyun's forehead. Upon hearing Yoshinon's words, Yoshino's body began to tremble, and the panic on her face became even more severe. However, strangely, she had no intention of turning around and running away.

"Sorry, I don't have any malicious intent; I just heard sounds here, so I came over to take a look," Lingyun said with a smile.

"Come over to take a look? Aren't you here to bully Yoshino?" Yoshinon asked in a somewhat sharp voice.

"This, I certainly don't have that intention! Yoshino, you should be able to feel this, right?" Lingyun said.

"I don't sense any malice from big brother," Yoshino said in a low voice after a slight pause upon hearing Lingyun's words.

"Yoshino?" Hearing that Yoshino had actually spoken, a trace of astonishment appeared in Yoshinon's tone.

"Moreover, I sense a very intimate aura from big brother," Yoshino said again.

"Sense a very intimate aura from me? Could it be because of the Spirit Power on me?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"Big brother has a familiar aura? Big brother has Spirit Power? Could it be that you are also a Spirit?" Yoshinon waved both hands and asked with some surprise.

"Uh, in a sense, I can be considered a Spirit!" Lingyun's originally black pupils changed in an instant; his left eye turned red, while his right eye transformed into a golden clock, and wisps of Spirit Power emanated from his body.

Yoshino seemed to be startled by Lingyun's change, took a small step back, and then shook her head: "It's not this aura."

"It's not?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with a trace of confusion; he also did not know what exactly he had on him that could make Yoshino feel intimate.

Subsequently, he felt something pulsing within his Dantian Universe. Lingyun's Divine Sense probed into the Dantian Universe and discovered an item he had ignored for a long time.

It was a strange Long sword with ten holes; after arriving in this world, this sword seemed to have become active. Lingyun remembered that this sword was given to him by Ruoxi before he came to the Date A Live World. It was said that this sword appeared at the same time as Tokisaki Kurumi, so perhaps it really did have some connection to this world.

Upon seeing those ten holes, a thought could not help but arise in Lingyun's heart: these holes, could they be for placing Spirit Crystals?

"Is this the thing you feel familiar with?" Lingyun flipped his hand and summoned that strange Long sword directly.

"That's right, it's this!" Upon seeing the Long sword in Lingyun's hand, Yoshino could not help but take a light step forward, but then quickly retreated.

"Hmm, it really is a magical sword; even Yoshinon feels an intimate aura from the sword!" Yoshinon said, clapping its hands.

"Hmm? Those unwelcome guests have appeared again!" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

Someone had intruded into his Divine Sense from the sky; it was precisely the members of the AST.

"Unwelcome guests? Could it be those aunties wearing annoying armor?" A trace of helplessness appeared in Yoshinon's tone.

As soon as Yoshino heard Yoshinon say this, a trace of panic appeared on her face, and she wanted to turn and run away.

"Wait!" At this moment, Lingyun suddenly spoke.

"What is it, big brother, is there anything else? If there's nothing, we are going to leave now; after all, Yoshino doesn't want to hurt those aunties, but it's also very painful if we get hit by those aunties' attacks!" A trace of anxiety entered Yoshinon's tone.

"I mean, if you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, would you like to go to my place to take shelter first?" Lingyun asked.

"Yoshino?" Yoshinon looked toward Yoshino; it could not make a choice for Yoshino regarding this kind of matter.

Yoshino pondered for a moment, finally nodded slightly, and walked cautiously to Lingyun's side.

"Then let's go." Lingyun extended his hand toward Yoshino.

Yoshino hesitated for a moment, then extended her right hand and took Lingyun's hand.

"Then we're off!" A smile appeared on Lingyun's face, and dots of silver light shimmered over the two of them.

With a flash of silver light, the two instantly disappeared from the alley.
