"Eh?"
"Huh?"
Yuki's words were enough to wake up both Yoshino and Miku, but before they could speak, Kotori grabbed them and fled the scene. She didn't hesitate for a second to accept Yuki's request, as everything was spiraling out of control...
Anaph's branches were spreading throughout the city; a little more and everything would be consumed by the first spirit. Not to mention the danger level in Franixus was in the red. This unknown spirit that appeared out of nowhere forced Franixus to retreat...
"Eh? No, no, no, no! Let go of me! Let me go!"
Miku's panic was intense, even more so than the last time Yoshino took her away. She was already screaming, as Yuki was risking his life so they could escape.
Yuki was tiny compared to those enormous roots. Miku screamed in desperation, her tears falling as she stretched out her hand in an attempt to reach Yuki...
"Yuki!!"
But that was it, as Yuki was soon swallowed by the roots, and they managed to escape. Meanwhile, Miku's consciousness gradually faded away. The dream had ended...
"Nushi-sama!"
What Miku didn't know was that at the exact moment Susanoo was destroyed, a portal opened beneath Yuki. A blonde woman with long hair took Yuki in her arms and fled the scene...
--------------
"The previous timeline... was very painful..."
Nia sighed after seeing the previous timeline through Rasiel, her eyes welling up...
Since she couldn't spy on Miku's dreams due to Yuki, and Miku's dream was more or less what happened in the previous timeline, Nia curiously looked again at Rasiel. But just like the last time she saw in the other timeline, she cried again.
Yuki almost died many times. The first spirit was very strong. Fortunately, this time he managed to escape thanks to
"Don't think about it anymore; it's all over, and this is another timeline, a different future..."
The Yuki from the other timeline had already paid the price needed for this timeline to be more peaceful. His efforts definitely wouldn't be wasted; everything was going perfectly according to plan.
"Even if you say that, it still hurts... I died for you!"
Nia pouted, feeling a bit hurt by Yuki's words. At least he should stroke her head and console her. However, she suddenly thought of something and smiled again.
"Hyaa~ Yui-kun, you owe me a life, right? You have to take responsibility and take care of me from now on. You must treat me like a princess..."
"..."
Yuki rolled his eyes. This girl was crying a moment ago and now she was flirting with him. It's surprising how quickly a woman can change her mood. Even so, he smiled...
"Of course, leave it to me, but I won't treat you like a princess..."
"Huh?! Why not?!"
"Because you'll be my Queen..."
"..."
Nia was speechless at this but her cheeks reddened, and she couldn't help but hug Yuki tighter...
"Mou~, that's not fair, those words are cheating..."
--------------
"Zodiac? A spirit that inhabits space?"
The next day, Yuki had stopped following Miku. In her dreams, he had already done everything possible to make this girl fall in love with him again as in the previous timeline, as well as limit the Demon King Lilith. So he decided to focus on the other spirit, his wild card or rather his lifesaver...
Kotori, on the other hand, never thought there was a spirit that used space as its home.
(Rasiel, what a terrifying Angel)
Capable of being almost omniscient, Kotori contemplated the angel of these two spirits.
"That's right..."
Zodiac, this spirit in the previous timeline, clung to Yuki and didn't let go. This girl was so obsessed with him that Yuki doubted whether what she felt for him was love, rather than a sick obsession with dependency, as if he were the only person that existed for her. She had the same mental illness as Yuno. Well, not at Yuno's level, fortunately, she obeyed all his orders. For Yuki in that timeline, Zodiac was like an adorable little pet that exploded into incredible strength when its owner was in danger.
She also didn't hesitate, fought until the last second, and sacrificed herself to help Yuki, giving him all her power and Angel.
Yuki owed a lot to Zodiac and had to repay her in this timeline.
"It's okay, I'll find a way to take you to space..."
Kotori kept sucking her lollipop and thought deeply. Fraxinus didn't have the capacity to travel to space, so she had to consult with the president of Ratatoskr.
"There's no need, I'll go myself."
However, Yuki didn't need any help. He had enough power to cross the stratosphere...
"Huh? Can you do it?"
"Of course."
Kotori was a little surprised. For spirits, traveling to space was still a bit laborious, as they didn't have enough energy to maintain continuous flight and cross all the ozone layers. The only way to do it was to teleport directly.
"Okay, when will you act? Today?"
"No, first I need to secure a place where she will live."
"You're right. My house isn't enough, I'll make arrangements."
Kotori understood. If Yuki brought another spirit, she wouldn't be able to stay in this house. All the rooms were occupied, even Kurumi's room was being used by Nia.
"Oh, do it soon..."
Of course, finding a home for Zodiac wasn't Yuki's main reason...
(I hope she doesn't cling to me like in the last timeline.)
What Yuki feared was that this pseudo-yandere girl would go crazy. Zodiac's jealousy was quite heavy. In the previous timeline, she got angry every time Yuki tried to communicate with another spirit, and if it weren't for the fact that he was being hunted by the first spirit, Zodiac wouldn't have tolerated Yuki getting involved with Miku and Yoshino.
In fact, even when Yuki proposed this plan, this girl almost used her angel to eliminate those two women...
"...."
Thinking about this, Yuki cursed his luck. The girls he liked, or vice versa, always seemed to have a few screws loose in their heads.
Therefore, Yuki wanted to isolate Zodiac. After all, in this timeline, all the spirits were alive, and he even had three living with him. He didn't know when Miku would appear. With so many women around him, it wouldn't be a surprise if Zodiac attacked.
Therefore, he had to go slowly with this girl, just as he did with Inori and Yuno.
"By the way, it's possible another spirit will appear very soon..."
"Hah? Another one? Wait, is it Diva?"
"That's right, it's her."
"Tsk, did you conquer her that quickly?"
Although Kotori didn't see the methods this male spirit used in front of her, Kotori couldn't help but look at him with displeasure. A man with many women is frowned upon by society, yet she also had to commend him a bit, as this saved a lot of trouble and resources in keeping these spirits under control.
"It's not quick..."
Yuki shrugged, wanting to say that although it only took him one night, in the previous timeline it was a long time, and they also had their difficulties.
"So, when will she come?"
"I don't know."
"What?! Are you playing with me? How do you not know?"
Kotori bit her lollipop and glared fiercely. For a moment, she thought she was the victim of a joke, but Yuki simply raised both hands...
"It's a complicated conquest, plus I don't know how long it will take her to find me."
"....."
Kotori didn't speak and narrowed her eyes. Even so, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be playing with her, Kotori decided to put this problem aside and focus on Zodiac, as well as building homes for these spirits...

"Yukiiii!!"
But unlike Yuki, who woke up in good condition and stable, Miku woke up with a scream, her body drenched in sweat. It seemed she had a nightmare...
