After that, Shizuku and Kagari no Kiri-e smoothly found Yukina as well and brought her back to the office. Not long after, the blue-haired girl appeared again and had someone take Yukina away.
"My, I never expected you to settle this so quickly, Miss Kasugano. You helped us find Miss Yukina in just one day. We're truly grateful."
"You're welcome."
Faced with the blue-haired girl's words, Shizuku shrugged, while the other girl gave an embarrassed smile.
"Actually... I have one small request."
"Hmm?"
"I think you've noticed already, Miss Kasugano. I'm not human."
As she spoke, the blue-haired girl spun around, and in an instant, as if undergoing a magical girl transformation, changed into a kimono.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Botan, a guide of the Spirit World. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I know."
Shizuku's expression did not change in the slightest at Botan's introduction. In fact, the moment she saw the blue-haired girl, she had guessed her identity. After all, Yu Yu Hakusho was one of her childhood memories... As one of its only two heroines, how could she forget such a distinctive character as Botan?
Of course, there was no need to tell her that.
"When you asked me to rescue Yukina earlier, you didn't just want my help, did you?"
"That's right."
Botan nodded slightly, then her expression immediately turned serious.
"This is actually a trial issued by the Spirit World..."
"Oh."
Yet Shizuku could not even be bothered to move at Botan's words. Botan was somewhat surprised, but after hesitating for a moment, she continued.
"We noticed your actions in repairing the Gate of Yomi. You performed exceptionally well throughout the series of Gate of Yomi sealing incidents, so... we hope you can work for the Spirit World and become a Spirit World
