"Good, then all of us will leave now. All of you go back to your respective families and I will only say this once, don't tell anyone what happened here. Wait for our words first before you go around saying something, this way, there would be no one would say that it was just some made-up stories, especially when the evidence is in our hands. We'll just invite you over to the Palace once everything is settled, as for what the Lady said. Let us take care of it." Elder Yu said strictly to them as he didn't want anything going wrong with their current situation. There was that slim chance of the talents being called some names if they just went around and spread rumors about Yuki, but if they were the ones to release it and get the testimony or their words, it would be better since it would be more trustworthy.
"We understand, we shall follow the Elder's words and wait for his further instructions." All of them cupped their fist as they said their leave before going down to the boat and getting their own rooms where they could have a good rest which they definitely needed.
Meanwhile, back on Yuki's side, her complexion wasn't the greatest as she already used so much of her strength just to show herself to the Humans. She should be already lying down and having a complete rest, but she did none of that as she still went and met the Humans and even if she was in a bad condition, what she got from that was all worth it. She had already paved the way for the Beast Race to shine once again, now she is polishing it even more for them and making it so that they have almost no chance of falling again since she already got the words of the Elder that they would leave the Beast Race out of their troubles, it would give them time to create their army quietly.
But that isn't even the end of it, she only needs the Humans to grow the seed she had planted and once it blooms, that is when her plan would come into play.
"Hahaha… I wonder, which Race should I throw the blame to?" Yuki said while wiping the blood that slowly oozed out of her lips but she didn't care, what she only cared about right now was checking if Amane was still stable, and after finding that she was still in good condition she sighed in relief before taking out her phone from her pocket and called Fumiko since Kurokami still hasn't received a phone because it was still under the process of making with the materials of this world, as for how the service of the old phone works, Yuki found that she can just use her Mana as a channel for it and since she had already upgraded her phone, she did the same with Fumiko. It was not the way she wanted which is why she didn't give Kurokami one just yet since she is still finishing it herself. She wanted to give her the best, and this was just temporary anyway. Plus, teaching Kurokami would be another thing to consider.
"Hello, Yuki? Why did you call, did something happen there?" Fumiko on the other side already had a hint of worry in her voice as she asked nervously, at any normal time, Yuki would just text her if something came up and wouldn't even bother calling her, but she forgot that it was the time when they were still not going out. Things are different now and Yuki wants to change all of that.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. In fact, things are going very well here, but it seems that it will take a lot more time for Amane to be completely revived, I will still need at least another day for this to be completely finished without anything going wrong. I called because I don't want to worry any of you and I hope that you can relay my words to the rest if that is alright." Yuki just smiled, she felt warm inside even just talking to her through the phone.
'Maybe this is the true meaning of happiness that those old people used to say… Just hearing their voice is enough to lift you up.' Yuki thought to herself while smiling inwardly after hearing how nervous Fumiko already got after getting a call from her.
"Ahhh! Is that so? I got worried that you were in some trouble, but it looks like you weren't so I'm glad. As for your words, I think you can say it directly to sister Kurokami herself, she's with me anyways." Fumiko, who was on the other side gave the phone to Kurokami and slowly navigated her how to use it properly since it was a pretty simple step, she quickly got it as she placed the phone beside her ear and began talking.
"Yuki? I heard that you wanted to say something to me?" Kurokami asked with a curious smile on her face, She got worried herself after hearing Fumiko's reply for a second, but it seemed like both of them were just overthinking some things.
"Yeah… I wanted to tell you that I will be home by the next day. The process is going to take longer than expected and since I don't want anything going wrong, it will take even longer. So…" Yuki wasn't able to finish her words when she suddenly heard a chuckle from the other side which made her confused.
"Fufufu… I didn't expect that you would call us, I remembered Fumiko telling me that if you are too busy and it will take a long time, you will just send a message to her. You rarely call her. But it seems that it has changed." Kurokami couldn't help but laugh to herself as she looked in the direction of Fumiko who was busy talking with Yuki's subordinate about some other things when Fumiko sensed that someone was looking at her, she turned her head towards that direction and smiled in response, to which Kurokami also smiled and did a small wave.
"Ahahaha… It seems like Fumiko really told you how I am in the past and I can only accept it and move forward to change. But don't worry, I will try to change for the best, for the sake of you guys. So I hope you can be there for me as I try to change for the better, not only for you but for myself also, I guess…" Yuki just laughed after hearing Kurokami's reply, but her words caused warmth to spread in her heart as she smiled deeply.
"Yeah, I know. We will always be there for you whenever you need us."
"Oh yeah, I wonder if you can spare some time for me? I need you to do something if that is alright with you." Yuki asked, but it didn't even take a few seconds before Kurokami answered her request.
"Of course! If it is something that I can do, then I would be happy to do it."
"Once I get home, I wonder if you will give me the pass?"
