"Huh? Where am I?"
Inaba Tsukiyo looked around in confusion. Wasn't she preparing for the Tianyang Festival with Shiori? How did she suddenly end up in this place?
It was a simple house. Although the decor was basic, it felt very warm, indicating it was carefully designed.
But... why? She had only blinked, so why was she in this place? And... even her clothes had changed. Although she usually wore an apron to cook at home, why... The chilling sensation on her back made Inaba Tsukiyo realize that, apart from this apron, she probably had nothing else on.
What on earth was going on? Why was she dressed like this, cooking in the kitchen? What kind of prank was this?!
Just as Inaba Tsukiyo was pondering what was happening, someone gently hugged her from behind. Long black hair floated in front of her. From the feel of it, it was a girl?
"I've told you so many times, don't get up so early to make food. Your body is the most important thing, you know? And it's easy to catch a cold this way."
"Who… who… who are you?"
Unable to control her body, only her mouth could still move. This meant that besides speaking, she couldn't do anything else?
Why did the situation feel like it was getting more and more serious? In the blink of an eye, she was brought to this unknown place, and she couldn't make any movements. This person's strength was above hers.
"Who am I? Heh heh~ That's right, you don't know me yet. Manjuka also didn't tell you about me. How cunning, if I hadn't noticed your abnormality, I wouldn't have known about this at all."
A slender wrist brushed Inaba Tsukiyo's chin. She turned her head, and a girl with long black hair, a faint smile, appeared before her.
The gentle, watery gaze left Inaba Tsukiyo speechless. However, the sense of intrusion within that gentle gaze made Inaba Tsukiyo realize that this person was like Yae Sakura.
'No! Although I don't know who this person is, I must leave here!'
With that thought, Inaba Tsukiyo's pupils turned into golden Herrscher Eyes, and the restraints on her body were temporarily lifted.
The other party seemed not to have expected Inaba Tsukiyo to be able to break free from her restraints, and for a moment, she stared at Inaba Tsukiyo in a daze.
Just as the other party was stunned, Inaba Tsukiyo fully activated the power of Imaginary Space to escape from that space.
Looking at the vanished Inaba Tsukiyo, the other party sighed deeply.
"It seems she has a completely different personality from Yoshino. If it were Yoshino, I probably would have succeeded by now."
"Heh heh~ Haxxor Bunny got the short end of the stick, didn't she? You can't treat Tsukiyo-chan the same way you treat Yoshino-chan. Although they have the same soul, different experiences have made their personalities completely different."
Manjuka with short twin tails appeared behind Haxxor Bunny, looking at the spot where Inaba Tsukiyo had left, and teased her.
Haxxor Bunny nodded. She was too excited and couldn't help but treat Inaba Tsukiyo the same way she treated Yoshino. This was her problem.
However… this felt even more exciting.
Yoshino and Inaba Tsukiyo had completely different personalities. Even if they had the same personality, she would like it, but this contrasting personality felt even more appealing.
"It's fine, we have plenty of time anyway. Even if she can't accept it this time, I believe she will accept me. And… isn't she working for Alaya? In that case, I know what to do."
"Haxxor Bunny… are you saying…"
"Don't misunderstand, Manjuka. This was something that was supposed to happen. I merely twisted the direction of its development. Believe me, I will handle this matter."
On the other side, Inaba Tsukiyo, who had used her ability to escape from the unknown space, woke up with a start.
"I… I'm back? What a… bad experience."
Fortunately, the other party's ability wasn't as strong as Yoshino's last time, and she could still use the Herrscher's power in that space.
However, the next time they meet, she wondered if the other party would let her leave so easily.
"Tsukiyo-chan, you're awake?"
Shiori, who was organizing documents, smiled when she saw Inaba Tsukiyo wake up.
"Although I know you want to help me, you can't overexert yourself. Suddenly fainting and returning to your original form almost exposed us."
"Sorry, Shiori. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Returning to Illya, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and spoke with lingering fear.
Shiori looked at Inaba Tsukiyo in confusion, not understanding what she meant. It was just a dream, why did it seem like she had run several thousand meters?
After Inaba Tsukiyo told Shiori what had happened in her dream, Shiori looked at Inaba Tsukiyo in a daze, then remembered Inaba Tsukiyo only wearing an apron, and her gaze towards Inaba Tsukiyo became somewhat strange.
