A few more days passed peacefully.
The appearance of Takamiya Shinji influenced many people.
Takamiya Mana, taking advantage of this influence, successfully established her authority within the AST team stationed in Tenku City. She was able to fight two Pokémon single-handedly, and her strength should not be underestimated.
These past few days, Takamiya Mana has been familiarizing herself with the work of the team stationed in Tenku City.
Only after she finished did she arrive at the front of the Gokah Family.
Takamiya Mana considered the appearance of the "Magical Girl" to be a coincidence. After all, since the appearance of spirits, they have always been symbols of violence, especially a certain nightmare, so she did not think that the Gokah Family had anything to do with this spirit.
At this moment, Tobiichi Origami's identity has not yet been exposed, so it's normal that Takamiya Mana doesn't know it either.
Just as Mana was about to ring the doorbell, a girl with dark blue hair, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and with somewhat unkempt hair, opened the door, yawning and carrying a bag of trash.
Judging from her expression, it seemed she wanted to throw away the trash.
When Mana first saw this person, she was a little stunned because the other person looked so much like her!
"Could it be my brother? He's grown his hair long now?"
A question arose in Mana's mind, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to the other person's chest.
The extent of the bulge was simply impossible to ignore!
"Brother!" Mana exclaimed in shock, "When did you become a girl?!"
She had already investigated and found that only one person in the Gokah Family had the same dark blue hair color as her, so the person who went out must be her brother!
Itsuka Shido!
Startled by the girl's loud voice, Takamiya Shinji instantly woke up from his drowsy state, then looked at her and exclaimed in surprise, "Mana!"
"Waaah, Mana, I miss you so much!" Takamiya Shinji burst into tears.
God knows how disastrous her life has been lately; it's unbelievable. Anyone with a weak heart would find it unbearable.
A familiar feeling flashed through Mana's mind. The figure of the girl running up to her crying in front of her vaguely overlapped with the figure in her memory.
Then Mana accepted Shinji, hugged the crying Shinji, and comforted him, "It's okay, brother, don't cry."
"Waaah, Zhenna, you're so kind."
Takamiya Shinji sensed his sister's aura, all the grievances he had suffered these past few days poured out like a flood.
Hearing the commotion outside, Itsuka Shido went out to take a look.
Upon seeing Takamiya Mana quickly tossed Takamiya Shinji aside, ran to Itsuka Shido, and exclaimed with delight, "You're my brother!"
Takamiya Shinji, who was pushed to the ground. "???"
Standing at the main gate, Itsuka Shido: "???"
Shinji cried out in anguish, "I'm your older brother, Shinji!"
Shido was dumbfounded. "Who are you?"
"Elder brother!"
Without thinking twice, Takamiya Mana pounced on Itsuka Shido, making Takamiya Shinji feel even more aggrieved.
The only younger sister recognized her son and made him her older brother!
Is there any man in the world more miserable than her?!
Unfortunately, Heaven did not hear Takamiya Shinji's lament.
Mana's arrival caused Tobiichi Origami to frown slightly, and she looked at Takamiya Shinji with unfriendly eyes.
She assumed that Shinji had once again revealed his spirit power, which was why he had attracted the other party.
But she quickly figured out what had happened, and gripped the cup tightly, saying angrily, "I'm Shido's sister! Who are you?!"
"Ah, I know, you're my brother's adopted sister. I'm so sorry for causing such a commotion at your house last time, but elves are all very dangerous, so it's best not to get too close~"
"Takamiya Mana," she said earnestly.
The last battle with the "Magical Girl" destroyed a lot of furniture, but thankfully AST compensated her, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed to even step into this house.
I came today not only to see my brother, but also to apologize to the Gokah Family.
"Itsuka Shido is my brother!" Kotori slammed her cup on the table and said with great dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, I know. I am Shido's younger sister, Takamiya Mana! It's nice to meet you. I'm also very grateful for your understanding and tolerance towards the troubles my brother has caused you." Mana said sincerely.
However, Mana was unaware that her words were constantly teetering on the edge of danger for Kotori. The sisterhood was something Kotori valued highly, but Mana was oblivious to this, and kept saying that Kotori was her adopted sister while she herself was her biological sister.
Kotori was furious.
"Your brother is over there!" Kotori's fingers trembled with anger as she pointed at Takamiya Shinji, who was lying on the sofa, on the verge of tears.
Mana looked at the other person and immediately laughed, "I only have an older brother, no older sister~"
Shinji instantly felt as if another sword had been plunged into his body.
Itsuka Shido said somewhat strangely, "Um... I might not actually be your brother. Your brother's name is Takamiya Shinji, and he's my father..."
In the past few days, Itsuka Shido has figured out what happened to him.
His father died a long time ago, and he himself was raised by his mother, Mio Takamiya, and then handed over to the Gokah Family. She herself disappeared without a trace. As for the person who wrecked his house a few days ago, Takamiya Mana is his father's sister and also his aunt.
Although this aunt was also excessively young, considering the unbelievable things that had happened to his father, he could accept that his aunt looked just as young as he did.
"Huh?" Takamiya Mana was truly dumbfounded this time.
"My brother's name is Shinji? And you are Shinji's son?" Mana's mind was a little confused, and she took out her own photo to look at it.
She is indeed the only woman in this photo; her brother is not her sister!
"Mana, sob sob, this person really is me, I am your brother."
Takamiya Shinji came up crying, pointing to the boy in the photo. The boy looked almost exactly like Itsuka Shido when he was ten years old. It was a photo of him and Mana taken at that time.
In short, the Gokah Family experienced a minor commotion early in the morning. Mana still couldn't believe it, so Kotori made the two of them go to the hospital for a paternity test. The results came out quickly, and Mana reluctantly accepted the fact.
"Brother, how did you turn into a girl... Oh, should I call you sister now?"
After Shinji became a girl, she resembled Mana in every way except for being taller. The current paternity test simply eliminated Mana's doubts.
But she was very clear that her brother was her brother, not her sister, and she was very confused about the fact that her brother had become her sister.
"Alas, it's a long story, more complicated than a bolt of cloth. It's best not to tell you. Just know that I am your older brother and Shido is your nephew," said Takamiya Shinji with a sigh.
Because of Mana's identity as a member of AST, Shinji cannot tell her why he became like this, at least not now.
Moreover, she herself was very curious as to why Zhenna was still so young after thirty years, but she didn't dare to ask...
So, this problem was glossed over in a muddled way.
Westcott stared blankly at the report in front of him.
The paternity test report for Shinji and Mana showed that they were related by blood.
It's obvious now. This girl, who is also Takamiya Shinji, is the same Takamiya Shinji they killed.
And Shido's identity...
He appears to be the son of Takamiya Shinji.
Could all of this be the work of the Origin Spirit?
"Interesting. Takamiya Shinji, Takamiya Mana, apart from Mio Takamiya, everyone from thirty years ago is here." Westcott chuckled.
Unexpectedly, two people who were at the center of a vortex thirty years ago would meet again thirty years later.
In addition to this news, they also discovered Tobiichi Origami's true identity: the commander of Ratatoskr.
Even now, Westcott couldn't help but marvel at how the Gokah Family truly was a hidden force, with no one being simple-minded.
"Eileen".
"Exist."
"We must capture the [Magical Girl]! Her reappearance thirty years later is definitely related to the Origin Spirit!"
"Yes!"
Eileen Mira Mathers, the world's most powerful magician, answered respectfully.
Two days later, Ratatoskr, hovering steadily over Tenku City, was studying its next move.
Currently, two more spirits have been discovered roaming freely outside, without being sealed away.
It's about nightmares and hermits.
Even if they don't cause Spatial Quake, the entire Ratatoskr still believes that it's safer after Shido is sealed away.
Besides, nightmares are murderous spirits. If a hermit were corrupted by nightmares and turned into a murderous spirit, how terrible would that be?
However, until now, no one has been able to come up with a good way to approach them, especially after the last time their surveillance camera was discovered flying into their house, and with the disappearance of Muramasa Reien, they have lost the person who could advise them.
In the past, most of the options for communicating with spirits were written out by Muramasa Reien, but now that she's not here, someone else has to take her place.
Kannazuki sighed, "How could Miss Reine just disappear without a word? It's really strange."
They mobilized countless resources in Ratatoskr, but they still couldn't find Lingyin's whereabouts, which puzzled everyone on the ship.
Unless Miss Lingyin can become invisible and travel through space, it's impossible to find no trace of her.
Just as Kannazuki was sighing, a loud warning suddenly rang out from Ratatoskr, instantly waking everyone up.
Kannazuki's gaze sharpened, and she asked, "What's going on?"
Subordinate: "AST has dispatched a large number of combat personnel and is advancing in a certain direction."
Kannazuki was taken aback. "AST? Isn't that an elf?"
He thought the loud alarm meant another elf was about to appear, but it turned out to be people from AST.
"Analyze their route of advance to see what they want to do."
AST is a force of elves; they wouldn't act without a reason. How could they possibly mobilize if no elves were present?
Tobiichi Origami was quickly teleported back to inquire about the situation.
After analysis, everyone realized that this AST unit was heading straight for Takamiya Shinji.
Kannazuki: "Among these AST personnel, Takamiya Mana is not."
Kotori frowned sharply and asked in surprise, "Did they discover Shinji's spirit identity?"
"That seems to be the case."
"Tsk. How did we get found out?" Kotori clicked her tongue, then said, "Contact Takamiya Shinji and tell her to leave that place quickly. We'll meet her in Ratatoskr."
"Yes!"
At this moment, Takamiya Shinji, who was wandering around aimlessly, experiencing the world thirty years in the future, had already felt the imposing gaze coming from the sky.
"AST!"
After being beaten once, she understood the purpose of this organization: to deal with elves!
The voices of the Ratatoskr members reached her ears, instantly making her tense. "Didn't they say that as long as you're sealed by Shido, you can live a normal life and not be discovered by the AST?"
She made a tremendous sacrifice in order to be sealed away by Shido!
Kotori was also helpless, saying, "We don't know which link went wrong right now. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to discover your identity."
"Sigh, I really have a tragic life."
After saying that, Takamiya Shinji quickly fled for his life.
However, among the AST members who captured her this time was Eileen, the world's number one, and Shinji is currently in a sealed state, unable to use his spiritual power at all.
She was captured by Eileen almost without any resistance.
Having captured their target, AST withdrew.
As for Takamiya Shinji, he was taken away by Eileen and taken to the DEM headquarters.
Takamiya Shinji even saw Takamiya Mana, who had been brought here long ago, and was unconscious.
"Younger sister!"
No wonder she didn't see Mana among the AST members she was trying to capture here; it turns out she had already been captured.
As for the people who arrested her, Shinji already knew.
Westcott.
Thirty years ago, it was he who sent people to arrest Mio Takamiya. In order to protect Mio, he was shot to death by the enemy's men. Seeing this person, Takamiya Shinji couldn't help but touch his abdomen, the place where he had been shot.
"It's you again..."
It was you thirty years ago, and it's you again thirty years later...
Last time it was Mio, this time it's Mana.
Is it possible that thirty years from now, I will still be unable to protect anything and will be killed by the other side, just like thirty years ago?!
An immense rage surged within Shinji's chest.
"I really like that look in your eyes." Westcott smiled slightly, his face full of pleasure.
His greatest pleasure is to make others feel pain!
"But judging from your eyes, you probably already know who I am."
"I don't know." Takamiya Shinji closed his eyes in regret.
With her current strength, she is no match for Westcott and can only compromise and pretend for the time being.
Westcott instantly grabbed Takamiya Shinji's chin and mocked, "Your emotions have already told me that you know who I am."
"Stop pretending, Takamiya Shinji." Westcott shook off his hand and asked curiously, "I want to know how you were resurrected. I'm pretty sure you died thirty years ago."
Takamiya Shinji: "..."
"Heh, you won't tell me, huh? You're the Origin Spirit, Mio Takamiya, right?" Westcott chuckled twice before saying, "If you tell me where the Origin Spirit is, I'll release you and your sister."
Far away in Kurumi's house, looking through the window, Mio Takamiya suddenly struggled, her happy eyes now filled with rage!
