Facing Jeanne Alter's vicious words, Yukino surprisingly didn't argue back.
In the face of Heroic Spirits with immense strength, humans were undoubtedly 'weak'.
And because of her, everyone's time was wasted, which made her regret it a little.
"Go and play first, I will look for you after a while." Yukino showed a weak smile.
Ryuji stroked Yukino's smooth long black hair and said, "How could I leave you."
He turned to look at Jeanne Alter and the others, and said, "You guys go first, I'll stay here with Yukino."
Jeanne Alter frowned slightly, an impatient expression crossing her face.
She had come to this boring festival for Ryuji's sake. If Ryuji wasn't there, what would the meaning of those boring human activities be.
If it were before, she who was hot-tempered might get angry and punish the rebels with the red lotus karma fire.
But after adapting to modern life for a period of time, her temperament has improved a lot, at least she won't draw a sword.
"I will only give you 20 minutes!" With a soft groan, Jeanne Alter turned around and disappeared.
"Ah, Jeanne-san is gone."
This was Megumi's first time seeing the transformation of a Heroic Spirit, and she was very curious about this kind of magical method.
Seeing the loss of another strong 'rival', Tamamo's fighting spirit is high.
"Just let me stay by Master's side!"
As expected of a fox, she is a potential flatterer.
"No need, Tamamo can also go, you should be used to this kind of environment." Ryuji said.
This festival is a tradition that has been passed down since ancient times, and was very popular even during the Heian period of the Tamamo era.
"As a wife, of course..."
Before Tamamo could finish speaking, she was dragged away by Megumi.
"There seems to be something interesting there, let's go and have a look."
"No, let me go, I must not leave Master's side!"
Seeing this, Mash didn't stay here as a light bulb.
"Well then, Senpai, see you later."
After finishing talking, Mash followed.
Only Yukino and Ryuji were left at the scene.
Yukino was a bit quiet, in order to keep her feelings in check, everyone left the man beside her.
"... Very bad acting skills."
After a long time, Yukino spoke those words.
"That was actually seen by Yukino." Ryuji smiled.
"After all, it's a Heroic Spirit, and it can't possibly be manipulated by humans."
Tamamo has just been dragged away by Megumi, and if she had wanted, she could have broken free easily.
The result is... Humility?
Yukino has second thoughts about the fox just clinging to Ryuji the whole time and is very jealous.
"Don't look at the legend, Tamamo's character is not bad." Ryuji helps Tamamo.
In the legend, Tamamo was sued to become a demon who brought disaster to the country and people, a vicious monster, and burdened with guilt and ugliness.
However, in Ryuji's view, Tamamo just wants to be a very good wife.
Maybe it was because of this 'simple' idea that the Chaldea Master named Hyakki Ryuji was so liked by Tamamo no Mae.
There was silence again, and Ryuji didn't speak either. Most of the way the two get along is spent like this.
Gently, Yukino leaned against Ryuji.
Ryuji smiled, and said jokingly: "In the past Yukino wouldn't do this kind of 'addiction'."
Yukino said angrily, "Who do you think is to blame for this!"
The two of them chatted word for word, and crowd phobia in Yukino increased tremendously.
"Almost ready." Yukino stood up.
"Don't you need to rest a bit, it's fine to act like a baby to me." Ryuji said with a smile.
Yukino looked at him and said lightly: "No need, I don't want to be targeted by those scary guys."
For a moment, Yukino felt like she had attracted a lot of hate.
Didn't see how bad Jeanne Alter was when she left.
"...Yukino-chan."
Shouts came from all around, and there were only two people who could use this kind of 'chan'.
Except for Yuigahama who was reunited with her family, there was only her big sister.
"...Nee-san." Yukino looked at her older sister.
The glamorous Haruno is still very beautiful, and her expression has improved a lot. It seems that the group's affairs have been going smoothly recently.
"Long time no see, Hyakki-sama."
After a short greeting with her sister, Haruno said respectfully to Ryuji.
Ryuji frowned, pretending not to see Yukino's gaze, and said helplessly, "Could you stop using that address, it's disgusting."
Such a dialogue is like the first meeting between two people, which makes people have to sigh at the miracle of fate.
