Overall, it was essentially a motley crew of enemies. Most of them held only minor positions within the Perfect World, either supplying weapons or money to it. Eliminating them would not fundamentally harm the Perfect World. However, their existence still posed a threat to this world, so Nagi and his companions destroyed them whenever they encountered one. Of course, after a large number of them were eliminated, it would still have some impact on the Perfect World. Even the kind-hearted Yoshino did not choose to be soft-hearted, because this was not the time for her to be soft-hearted.
The upper echelons of the Perfect World had not appeared since Yoshino and the others began their counterattack. Avidya Lux, whom Nagi and his companions encountered, seemed to have vanished from this world, which, it must be said, was a very strange occurrence. They still encountered many other experts, such as the three elemental spirit users of the Perfect World who wielded fire, water, and lightning magic. In the battle with the Water Spirit user, Nagi and the others watched as the opponent was toyed with by Yoshino, as Yoshino herself was a spirit who controlled water and ice. In this world, she was the highest-ranking Ice Spirit or Water Spirit. Playing with water in front of a Water Spirit? Isn't that like showing off one's axe in front of Guan Yu, just asking for death? After being beaten to the point of losing the meaning of life, she was eliminated by Nagi and the others.
During the long battles, Yorugetsu and her group rarely had free time to rest. One evening, Red Wings and their companions were resting on a hillside during a mission. Yoshino told Nagi and the others that she wanted to be alone, so she went up the mountain by herself to do something. She planned to use her contract item there to contact Toujou Nozomi and others. It is important to know that time flows differently between worlds, and this contract item would isolate their respective spaces, allowing them to communicate without affecting the flow rate between the two worlds. However, the drawback of this function was that the item's charging time would be consumed depending on the length of the call, which would determine when Yoshino could use this contract item again.
However, this plan seemed impossible this time, because when Yoshino reached the top of the mountain, she found that someone had already been waiting for her there for some time. Looking at the golden-haired, red-eyed Little Girl in front of her, Yoshino knew that this was Evangeline, whom she hadn't seen for several months. Was her appearance here a coincidence? Yoshino wondered.
"Yo! Yoshino, long time no see. You must be wondering why your Master is here, right? Actually, it's not a coincidence. Since you left last time, your Master has been keeping an eye on Red Wings' movements. She almost came to find you when she heard Red Wings was being hunted. If it weren't for the contract card being fine, she would have gone to find you. The reason she's here today is also because she sensed the contract card and came to wait for you in advance." Before Evangeline could speak, Chachare spoke first. However, its words completely revealed everything Evangeline had been thinking recently to Yoshino, making Evangeline's small face flush red with anger and shyness.
"Shut up! You damned doll! Believe it or not, I'll dismantle you right now and throw you away!" Evangeline, grabbing Chachare's leg and swinging it wildly, said somewhat exasperatedly. Her original intention was to tell Yoshino that she had merely passed by coincidentally. But now, that idea was ruined by this damned doll. She truly wanted to tear this fellow apart to vent her anger.
"Ah~ Don't shake me anymore! Master. Is there anything wrong with what I said? You've been so worried about Yoshino these past few months. And every night before you sleep, you always look at your contract card with Yoshino. I'm doing this to strengthen your relationship with Yoshino. You know, every night when you sleep, you always talk in your sleep about Yoshino! Things like 'No,' 'I should be guiding you now,' or 'More.' I'm just saying what you don't want to say."
Chachare, being wildly swung by Evangeline, did not realize how embarrassing its current words were to Evangeline. Her already flushed face had now reached the point of steaming. Looking at the ruby-like pupils of Chachare, now filled with killing intent, she truly wanted to dismantle Chachare.
"Alright, alright. Kitty. You've been Chachare's Master for so long, you know its personality. So don't be angry." Sensing Evangeline's killing intent, Yoshino quickly came before Evangeline and held her hand, preventing Chachare from becoming spare parts. "And... and Kitty cares so much about me, I feel very happy."
"What! No! Don't misunderstand! Those are just Chachare's nonsense! How could I, as the Dark Gospel, do such shameless things! These are all fake! Chachare is lying! Don't misunderstand!" Upon hearing Yoshino's words, Evangeline's face flushed. Although she didn't know if she had said such shameless things in her dreams as Chachare claimed, even if she had, Evangeline's personality wouldn't allow her to admit it. She immediately retorted to Yoshino, her face red, to prevent her from misunderstanding. But her flushed face had absolutely no persuasive power.
"Oh my, oh my~ It seems our Kitty is shy. I didn't expect you to have such thoughts about Yoshino. No need to be shy. I know what you want to do to Yoshino. If you tamper with Yoshino's drink, she'll suddenly feel sleepy and fall unconscious. In her hazy consciousness, the last thing Yoshino sees is Evangeline, smiling and licking her lips. Welcome to the world of yuri!" Shiina said excitedly. This kind of development was what she hoped to see.
"No, don't talk nonsense! Shiina!" A somewhat shy Yoshino covered Shiina's mouth. Didn't it see that Evangeline's expression was very bad right now? Why was it still saying such things?
...Forget it! I won't argue with you anymore. There's another reason I came to see you this time, and it's related to the Perfect World that your Red Wings are currently investigating." Evangeline, having finally calmed down, said to Yoshino, "According to my investigation, their objective seems to be related to Princess Erica's royal capital, Ostia. Perhaps there's something they need there."
"Ostia? I remember their ultimate goal is to destroy this world. Is there something there that can destroy the world?" Yoshino asked, puzzled.
"I don't know about that, but the information I've gathered tells me it's so. Your final decisive battle with the Perfect World will definitely be there, but only if you gain allies. You are still at a disadvantage right now." Evangeline said. She had seen that place from afar once. What puzzled her was that she felt there was something familiar there.
"Is that so... Then I must tell everyone this important news right now!" Yoshino said, then intended to leave to report to Nagi and the others. However, the moment she turned around, her hand was grabbed by Evangeline, making her stop and look at Evangeline in confusion, not understanding why she was holding her.
"It... it's so hard to meet. Don't... don't leave so soon, okay? Stay with me for a while, alright? Let's have a good chat." Evangeline said, her eyes darting away. Her mind hadn't reacted yet, but her body had already grabbed Yoshino's hand. However, she did want Yoshino to stay with her a little longer, as it was very difficult for them to meet again.
"...Okay." Seeing Evangeline's hesitant manner, Yoshino nodded in agreement. Anyway, there was no rush now; she could still stay with Evangeline for a while.
"Thank you." Upon hearing Yoshino agree to her request, Evangeline's face broke into a brilliant smile. After seeing Evangeline's smiling face, she couldn't help but think to herself:
'She truly is a very cute person.'
