The Yamai Sisters' Secret

However, as the chains swept across, amidst a sharp explosion of air, the three people enveloped by the arbitrary domain were flung into the ground like spinning tops, plowing open deep trenches.

The warning sound of armor values falling below the warning threshold kept ringing in the ears of the wounded AST soldiers.

The girl in the hurricane looked down, the silver cone-shaped extension of the chain on her left hand, like a venomous snake, shot towards the AST core trio who had lost their armor protection, fueled by wind pressure.

The team members, suspended in mid-air, had no time to rescue them and could only watch helplessly as their three leaders fell into danger.

At the critical moment, a convergence magic cannon fired diagonally and a dense barrage of intercepting missiles hurtled towards the girl in the hurricane.

This caused the chains that were attacking Ryoko Kusakabe and her two companions to turn back defensively. With a quick twist of the orange-haired girl's wrist, a whirlwind vortex formed in mid-air, which swallowed and shredded the magic cannon and the intercepting missiles!

The assault rifle that followed charged forward, the highly compressed air gushing out like rapidly spinning fan blades, stabbing and cutting.

"Look up at the grandeur of the World Tree. Even humans blessed by the gods still need to have some reverence, little girl."

The handsome, exotic-looking man with long golden hair, Kyouhei Kannazuki, abandoned his usual playful demeanor and elegantly snapped his fingers with his outstretched right hand.

With increased power, the Floating Battleship Fraxinus of the moderate civilian organization Ratatoskr removes its Optical Camouflage, revealing its full form.

The seven small Eshkalt mounted on the "World Tree Leaf" at the stern of the ship gradually lit up, and the energy radiation frantically converged on a small area about ten centimeters in front of the warship.

The hexagonal transparent barrier was almost tangible, sparkling Ruo Shui. As soon as this defensive system was completed, a violent, cone-shaped column of wind pierced through it.

The ear-piercing hum and the chaotic air currents in mid-air directly blew away the AST members who were closing in, and even the Floating Battleship hundreds of meters high trembled violently, with the engine systems issuing overload warnings one after another.

"Boom!"

Finally, the shattered crystal wall barely withstood the blow.

Amazing! The crew on the bridge, who had managed to steady themselves by holding onto the surrounding objects, gasped as they looked at the off-the-charts readings on the instruments and the overburdened engines.

"Truly worthy of being called a berserker; it seems its self-awareness has fallen into a dormant state, making it impossible to communicate with or capture. Destruction operation recommended..."

Kyouhei Kannazuki leaned against the armrest, smoothed his long golden hair, revealing a miniature communicator inserted into his right ear, from which a murmured whisper entered.

Although this somewhat unconventional current commander had a smile on his lips, his words carried a ruthless and decisive air.

After all, he was the former captain of the AST Anti-Spirit Team. Although he had been reformed by "that person," his judgment of the situation was still sharp.

In a corner of Raizen High School, a silver-haired female school doctor dressed in a white coat tapped her earpiece, somewhat hesitantly.

"Wait a little longer..."

"Great idea! I'd also like to have the chance to experience the thrill of being whipped by that chain..."

Amidst the deep, sleepy whispers, Kyouhei Kannazuki tossed his long hair, his excitement bordering on ecstatic, a hint of longing even appearing on his androgynous, handsome face.

Okay, geniuses always have some quirks that are hard for ordinary people to understand. This guy is a complete masochist.

Just as the AST Anti-Spirit Team and Ratatoskr's Floating Battleship were taking turns providing cover and fighting their way back, the Child of Hurricane ignored the flies around him and raised his assault rifle high.

Orange light pierced the sky, and from the shattered Spatial Rift, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, which was leaning towards the ground, was pulled out inch by inch from the darkness.

Every inch the Tree of Life descends to the ground in Kabbalah causes the space it touches to rapidly disintegrate, with tall buildings turning to dust and being swallowed up by its roots.

Enveloped by dozens of wind pillars, the Child of Hurricane spread its wings and floated upwards, its pulsating energy echoing the flickering light of Element 8.

As the aura of point number eight gradually stabilized, the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life began to shimmer with light, and the other nine Ring Particle gradually lit up, seemingly activated by some kind of force.

In the underground shelter, the Diva Izayoi Miku, the green-haired girl Natsumi Kyouno Nanami who wears Halloween maiden hat and wields a flying broom, and the gray-haired, blue-eyed manga artist Nia Honjo who wears a nun's habit, all begin to experience varying degrees of headaches and heart palpitations.

It was as if some repressed, altered memory was flowing back, and what it contained seemed to be filled with despair and madness. The girls were so terrified that they hugged their shoulders and trembled.

Chapter 753, Section 788: The Secret of the Yuyutsu Sisters

No way, the Yuyutsu Sisters in their perfect form! Legend has it that they're second only to the Original Elf Mio Sumiya!

Memories from his past life, which had been fading, were dredged up from the depths of his being by the vast scene before him, Kevin suddenly remembered how terrifying the Hurricane Knight before him was.

In a sense, elves are another form of existence for Herrscher, only they retain more of their humanity.

The Original Elf, Mio Sumiya, holds a position equivalent to the Final Herrscher; the two represent the two aspects of creation and destruction, as embodied by the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia.

In the Honkai world, besides the orthodox Herrscher, there are also Pseudo-Herrscher appear for various reasons.

Similarly, in this other world, a similar existence exists: subspecies of elves.

In Kevin's complex memories, there was a subspecies of Beast codenamed "Beast," which was extremely powerful. The other nine elves, even when they were fighting in a group, almost got wiped out.

But in the critical moment, the twin spirits Yagami Yuzuru and Yagami Kaguya merged into one and single-handedly fought the beast, directly unleashing their ultimate attack to drive it away.

Therefore, based on the estimated combat power, the fully-formed version before us is an extremely terrifying existence.

Of course, if Kevin could arrive in his complete form, he would easily defeat the Child of Hurricane before him.

But firstly, he couldn't get his body back yet, and secondly, he had to look at the Kabbalah Tree of Life above and the devastated city nearby.

Kevin suspected that if he were to engage in a full-scale battle with this Child of Hurricane, Amamiya City would surely be the first to perish.

As for finding Tokisaki Kurumi was nearby, Kevin had even less hope. Her skills looked flashy, but her actual support function outweighed her damage output. Besides, hadn't he heard what his owner had said?

Among the spirits, she has at least three who are unmatched: Tohka Yatogami, Mukuro Hoshimiya, and Tobiichi Origami. And now, the fully-formed Yuyutsu Sisters are considered the pinnacle of the spirit world.

Just as Kevin was having a headache, with the arrival and clarification of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, a familiar aura emanated from the complete form of Yamai.

The cat frowned, and in a daze, the image of a certain victim flashed through its mind.

Somewhat like -- Sirin! The Second Herrscher fused with the Will of God in Siberia back then!

Is she... summoning Original Elf? This is a huge problem!

Tokisaki Kurumi, standing to the side, was equally incredulous.

She had dealt with the twin spirits, Yagami Yuzuru and Yagami Kaguya, before; defeating them one by one wasn't too difficult.

Why did their fusion activate the Kabbalah Tree of Life so quickly, and even pull this monstrous thing into the mortal realm?

We can't delay any longer!

We must launch a forced assault and subdue her first!

The human and the cat looked at each other, each seeing the other's intentions, but both felt somewhat uncertain.

However, just as they were preparing to coordinate with AST and Ratatoskr to launch an attack on the fully-formed Yuyutsu Sisters, a slightly nasal whisper reached their minds.

"Using the Yud Bet to rewind time, find the reason for this child's rampage, and rewrite the past—this is the optimal solution..."

"If I can stop all of this from happening, I will tell you information about the Original Elf..."

The guidance in their minds made the two slightly surprised, but then Tokisaki Kurumi, who had spent ten years investigating information about the Original Elf, narrowed her eyes, her heart filled with excitement for the "reward" to be won upon completion of the mission.

She is a spirit who controls time, and her skill, known as the Yud Bet, grants her the ability to travel back in time. However, the power required increases exponentially with the length of the time span.

Kurumi has always needed to consume the time of ordinary people to fight and maintain her own existence, so the spiritual power she has accumulated is quite limited.

For the first time, she was so close to the true form of the Original Elf, an irresistible temptation.

Ever since the original spirit split into ten spirits, it has disappeared without a trace. She has been investigating for ten years without any results. Now that there is a sliver of hope, she must take the plunge, even if it costs her all her time!

"Friendly reminder: if you're planning time travel, it's best to choose a pivotal point in the course of events."

CC casually munched on half a pizza, seemingly understanding Tokisaki Kurumi's decision, and tilted her head to give a hint.

"The Yuyutsu Sisters left school at 5 PM; everything was normal before that."

"They woke up at nine o'clock this morning; something must have happened in between..."

Kevin briefly analyzed the situation and began narrowing down the timeframe.

"According to the address they left yesterday, this is the Yamai family's residential area. According to the navigation, it takes about thirty minutes to get home from school."

"In other words, the area affected by the Yuyutsu Sisters' anomaly from 5:30 PM last night to 9:00 AM this morning was this..."

Tokisaki Kurumi drew her long and short muskets, brushed aside her bangs, chuckled, and added, then tapped her head helplessly.

"That being said, I don't have that much time to waste on you. If we're trying to transport three people back to yesterday at the same time, we only have about an hour at most..."

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly, then habitually tapped his cat paw, sealing the deal with a single blow.

"Time anchor point 5:15, spatial coordinates Ba Wujia, arrive here 15 minutes early to visit and find the cause before things escalate!"

CC clenched her cat paw, looking quite amused.

She's very interested in trying time travel, plus she can get a free meal and see the cat make a fool of itself, so she definitely has to join in.

"Put your hands on me. One of you will rewind time, and the other will cut through space. I'll be responsible for bypassing the rules and traversing the rifts. This should save a lot of energy."

CC, you've finally realized your mistake...

Upon hearing this, Kevin obediently extended his paw, feeling somewhat touched.

Tokisaki Kurumi hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing to believe.

"Okay, okay, when you use someone, remember to be gentle..."

The gothic girl swept her black bangs aside, revealing her clock-shaped right eye. The moment the flintlock musket pulled the trigger, three figures were swallowed by the torn rift in spacetime.

In the blink of an eye, the previous roar of gunfire and the tremors of collapsing buildings vanished, and some pedestrians on the street hurried by, while others strolled leisurely in the sunset.

The three of them stared at the gate of the courtyard with the surname "Yamai" hanging in front of them, composed themselves, and walked to the gate to ring the doorbell.

"Huh, who are you?"

The housewife who rushed over from the attic after hearing the noise was a gentle woman with orange braids, her pretty face vaguely resembling the outline of the Yuyutsu Sisters.

She was still wearing a white apron because she had left in a hurry, and it seemed she was packing her things.

"Hello, Auntie. We are Yuzuru and Kaguya's classmates, and we've been invited to visit."

Tokisaki Kurumi pulled the note with the address from her pocket, smiling sweetly, just like a well-mannered lady.

He actually keeps them close to his body? He pretends not to want to have contact with these elf sisters, but his actions betray him, Kevin thought to himself.

However, supported by this evidence, the three were then invited into the mother's home.

"I'm sorry, I'm tidying up, the house is a bit messy."

"Please sit down, all three of you. Have some tea and pastries. Yuzuru and Kaguya will be back soon..."

"Auntie, let me help!"

Kevin the cat, nestled in the body's embrace, manipulated his own body, raising his paws to volunteer for household chores.

Yagami Mother looked at the somewhat eager, white-haired handsome man in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, her expression seeming to become a little strange.

School just started, and already my daughter and her friends have suitors?

Kevin, however, was preoccupied with organizing things, wondering if this was the beginning of uncovering the Yuyutsu Sisters' forbidden secret, and was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere around him.

"Could I take a look at their bedroom? I'd like to know what hobbies Yuzuru and Kaguya have..."

Tokisaki Kurumi covered her mouth and smiled, not pointing out the inappropriateness of Kevin's attentive attitude at the moment. Instead, she pulled CC and separated from someone else to work, while watching the show.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Yagami Mother, Kevin meticulously organized and categorized the clutter. However, the housewife would still subtly inquire about his relationship with the Yuyutsu Sisters and certain aspects of their daily life at the academy.

With time of the essence, Kevin had no time to spare. He rummaged through the complex memories in his mind about the Yuyutsu Sisters and answered them one by one, demonstrating his profound understanding of the twins.

However, he failed to notice the increasingly ambiguous and strange gazes of the elders beside him.

Wait, this is...

More than ten minutes had passed, and with the Yuyutsu Sisters almost home, Kevin's somewhat impatient gaze lingered on a few pieces of paper beneath the photo frame.

He pulled out the papers and carefully examined them, his brow furrowing more and more.

"Oh, that's Yuzuru and Kaguya's birth certificates. I remember how small they were back then, and now they're all grown up."

Yagami Mother noticed Kevin's strange expression, chuckled and explained, her gestures conveying a sense of emotion, and then reached out to take the birth certificate.

"Auntie, is October 18th correct? I need to confirm Yuzuru and Kaguya's birthdays so I can surprise them later! Please!"

Kevin subtly avoided the outstretched right hand of Yagami Mother, his expression sincere. He had originally planned to come up with more reasons, but he was surprised to find that the elder opposite him actually agreed with a smile, and her gaze towards him became even gentler.

However, Kevin wasn't thinking about that. He took out his phone and, under the pretext of finding a well-lit place to take a picture to remember the birth certificate, went downstairs.

"Hmm, he's a very handsome and thoughtful boy," Yagami Mother sighed, watching the figure hurry downstairs.

She casually picked up the old photo frame, and inadvertently flipped it open, only to see the couple in the photo with somber expressions, and in their arms, there was only a shared swaddled baby.

At the same time, Kevin rushed into the Yuyutsu Sisters' bedroom and, in front of Tokisaki Kurumi and C. C., flipped through their birth certificates one by one to the end.

How so?

Tokisaki Kurumi looked at the name on the screen with disbelief.
