"Miku gasped for air, sweat dripping down her cheek, her face pale as a sheet of paper...
She touched her head in pain as she processed everything that had just happened. Quickly, she grabbed her phone, where the date and time matched the last time she went to sleep.
"A dream? Was it all a dream?"
Miku was now in a dilemma. What she experienced turned out to be a dream: the body swapping, Yuki and Yoshino, the battles, and the despair of the last enemy.
"No... It shouldn't be a dream... I... I lived that!"
Miku was right; she had lived those events, but it was in another timeline. Therefore, her dream was quite special.
However, at this moment, there was no way for Miku to know that. She just felt like she had lost something, similar to when she lost her voice. She turned her head and checked her room, then left her room and inspected her entire house, but she couldn't find that annoying boy...
She also felt her Angel within her; she had her powers and could control them.
"Yuki..."
The last thing Miku saw in her dream left her deep in thought. The first spirit attacked, and the only thing she could do was see Yuki being swallowed by Anaph's branches.
"But it was a dream..."
Miku slapped both her cheeks. It was useless to worry about a boy she dreamed of, a fictional being created by her mind. Yet, she couldn't help but frown...
In the end, Miku couldn't do anything and continued with her day. She got dressed and went to school...
"What am I thinking? Calm down, Miku Izayoi!"
Miku didn't even pay attention in class, and time passed quickly. Before she knew it, it was time to go home. Her family's car was already waiting for her, so she said goodbye to her classmates. However, as she was about to get into the car, she stopped, turned her head, and looked into the distance...
"Ojou-sama?"
The woman who opened the door asked curiously when Miku suddenly stopped. She also turned her head and followed Miku's line of sight, but found nothing...
"Go ahead, I'll walk today."
Without waiting for a response, Miku quickly left, walking without a fixed direction.
The dream lingered in her mind. Every time she saw a boy with black hair and pale skin walking on the streets, Miku followed, but it was never the person she was looking for.
"What am I thinking? Yuki doesn't exist."
Walking aimlessly through the city was to satisfy her curiosity and also her hope.
The hope of finding that boy...
"Haaa..."
After walking for a while, Miku sighed. She found a free area and sat down, feeling a bit tired and irritated. As a beautiful and solitary woman, men approached her, but without exception, Miku drove them away as if they were flies. Although her misandry had healed somewhat through the dream, Miku still couldn't tolerate men for long.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the sky clouded over, and soon raindrops began to fall. Miku had no choice but to seek shelter. After all, being a rich girl with a chauffeur, she never worried about getting wet and didn't have an umbrella.
Fortunately for her, she found a small shrine where she could take refuge. However, her clothes got quite wet, leaving Miku helpless...
"What am I doing?"
Miku felt quite pathetic. She hated men, but here she was looking for one.
Men, or more specifically humans, had hurt her so much that she lost her voice because of them. However, Yuki in her dream loved her voice so much that they had the chance to sing together, enjoying and sharing, he on the piano while she danced...
"He's very good at singing... But"
(It was a dream...)
Miku remembered the songs very well and started singing them unconsciously in this shrine under the rain. However, since they were all duets, Miku felt overwhelmed by the absence of her partner...
For a moment, Miku felt the shadow of the person she had swapped bodies with. She reached out, hoping to catch him, but the rain was enough to make his image disappear...
"Hu..."
Due to her song, a small figure was guided to her direction.
(Yuki is special... So special that he only exists in my dream)
Miku continued lamenting. Her hope that Yuki existed was very low, and this fact made Miku shrink, hug herself, and bury her face in her knees, whether because her clothes were wet and she felt cold or as a kind of consolation for losing something important...
"Miku-san..."
At that moment, a small voice, similar to a mosquito's, spoke to her. This familiar voice made Miku shiver and lift her head...
"Yoshino..."
Miku couldn't believe it. In front of her was the spirit from her dream, whom she saved from AST...
The cowardly spirit of ice, Hermit...
Suddenly, Miku's eyes lit up, and her mind processed quickly, as she realized something...
(If Yoshino exists... That means)
A sweet smile formed on Miku's face, and her hope strengthened...
(Yuki, no... Darling, wait for me. I'm going to find you)

"It's finished..."
Of course, Yuki didn't know that the dreams affected both Miku and Yoshino so much. He was currently with Kotori, who was showing him the spirits' residence...
"That was quick."
It was an apartment building, very good for the spirits, not to mention it only took a few hours to build. Yuki was quite interested in this technology. It's not surprising since the spirits' rampages are easily repaired.
"As long as we put our minds to it, building is easy..."
Munching on her lollipop, Kotori boasted, while Yuki rolled his eyes. A spirit as destructive as Kotori had nothing to be proud of.
"Well, since everything is ready, I'll go."
Still, Yuki was satisfied with the work, and now he had a place to manage Zodiac. As he was in space, Yuki was eager to start...
"Alright, let's hope for good results."
"Take care, Yui-kun."
Kotori nodded in response, while Nia wished him well. With Rasiel in her possession, Nia knew very well the power of Zodiac. This spirit, in its normal angelic state, had a powerful strength capable of competing with Tohka. In its second transformation, it was strong enough to fight a Demon King.
Not to mention the sealing ability of its Angel. With so much power, Zodiac is undoubtedly the strongest spirit, surpassing even Berserker in energy and strength, second only to the First Spirit.
Although Nia and Yuki knew that if Zodiac and Berserker fought, it would be Zodiac's loss due to Berserker's overwhelming agility, Zodiac still had its powerful sealing ability. It would be difficult for her to keep up with Berserker's speed.
Unfortunately, Berserker was divided, so Zodiac was undoubtedly the strongest. It was due to this trait that Zodiac could resist and escape the first spirit, though it's regrettable that in the end, she had to die.
"Mou! I wanted to go with Yuki."
Nia was worried while Tohka was sad. She wanted to accompany Yuki, but he didn't allow it...
"Sorry, Tohka, maybe next time..."
"But..."
Yuki didn't let Tohka speak before placing a hand on her head to calm her down.
"I have to do this alone, Tohka..."
"Alright..."
Reluctantly, Tohka had no choice but to accept, so she let go of his sleeve and watched Yuki walk away, activating his astral suit.
"Kotori, please prepare the medical team..."
"Eh?"
Yuki didn't let Kotori understand his words before flying directly into space...
"Hey! At least tell me why I need to prepare the medical team!"
"Hahaha."
Yuki's laughter was the only thing Kotori got before he disappeared from sight...
"Hya~ another girl who will end up getting beaten."
Nia already knew where this was going. She put both hands behind her head, her smile very bright, as now she would have the pleasure of seeing another victim of Yuki's fists.
