(Heartfelt thanks to 'Xiongxiong no Baobao' for the 5888 reward, and to 'Yunqi Qinggu', 'Erciyuan de Shuangxiezuo', and 'Sinking Beneath the Starry Sky' for their rewards!)
The next day, at night...
Standing in front of his house, Wu Yan looked up at the star-filled sky and bright moon. He took out his silver pocket watch, the Dragon Knight's Proof, opened its cover, and checked the time.
The way time was measured in the world of Star Crest Dragon Knight differed somewhat from the standard system Wu Yan knew. Converted into a period he could understand, it was now approximately 23:40.
There were still around twenty minutes until it was time to enter the Mirror World!
With a slight curl of his finger, the cover of the Dragon Knight's Proof snapped shut. Wu Yan turned around and looked at the two girls behind him.
Hinagiku!
Mikoto!
Perhaps because they knew there would be a major battle tonight, neither girl wore a skirt or tight-fitting clothes. Instead, they had dressed in outfits that were easier to move in.
They both wore short shirts on top—pink matching Hinagiku's hair color for her, white for Mikoto—and identical denim shorts below. Their fair, alluring thighs were exposed to the air, while thick long boots covered their feet.
Such simple attire did nothing to diminish the girls' charm. Though clothes made the man and gold adorned the Buddha, both Hinagiku and Mikoto had excellent natural looks. Even dressed plainly, they were far more striking than ordinary girls.
If there was any flaw to point out, it was probably that a certain measurement on the girls' upper bodies was not particularly outstanding...
Still, that did make fighting more convenient...
"It'll be midnight soon..." Wu Yan checked the time again and turned his gaze toward Hinagiku and Mikoto.
