Multiverse: Starting by Creating Delta of Fate, the Group Chat Went Wild
"Let's go, there's not much time left. School should end around 4:00. We have two hours of club activities, so we need to get to the school gate early and wait behind her."
"That's true."
Kohei Imamura thought for a moment. Since he was in an unfamiliar place, the only way was to follow her. However, he didn't know where Ayako Misumi would run into if he staked out the place in advance.
The three arrived at the station, intending to use some small trash from their backpacks as payment to the vendor in exchange for three train tickets.
But Iori Kitahara's clothes were torn, leaving only his underwear intact, and he looked like a strange person barefoot on the ground. He was kicked out of the station, let alone bought a ticket.
Kohei Imamura sighed.
"... Let's go buy an outfit first."
Iori Kitahara didn't actually want to buy it, because even if he bought the largest size, it would still tear all his clothes after using his Noble Phantasm.
Moreover, the ordinary clothes I bought don't count as props; they can't even fit the Rivers and Mountains Map inside.
Isn't this a complete loss?
"You're not addicted to not wearing clothes, are you?"
"Nonsense!"
"Then let's go get a pair of pants!"
After some effort, the group finally managed to buy tickets and arrived at the Hohzuki Academy.
Kohei Imamura glanced at the clock at the convenience store on the street; it was already 5 p. m.
"I don't know if Ayako Misumi has left or not."
"Just go ask."
Iori Kitahara stepped forward and stopped several female students, looking like a caring older brother.
"Excuse me, may I bother you? I have a very important question to ask you."
Kaede Makidera and Yukika Misuzu looked at the familiar-looking young man in front of them and exchanged glances.
Isn't this the weirdo whose clothes ripped off when I went to Shinto this morning?
Just before they looked distressed and were about to cry for help.
Kanako Himuro nodded slightly and spoke in a cool tone:
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Iori Kitahara felt that if she asked directly, she would definitely be questioned, so she could only say:
"Um, I'm... Ayako Misumi's distant cousin. I just came from outside to check on her. Is she still at school?"
Kanako Himuro and remained silent.
"Thanks."
Iori Kitahara thanked him and went to ask another student.
Kaede Makidera and Yukika Misuzu slowly pulled Kanako Himuro aside.
Kaede Makidera covered her face with the back of her hand and said solemnly:
"They're definitely not good people."
Kanako Himuro asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
Yukika Misuzu saw Kohei Imamura over there, she was so startled that she started to stammer:
"He... he... they wouldn't be the ones Shinji hired to deal with Mitsuzuri, would they?"
Kaede Makidera looked as if she had heard the truth, and gestured fiercely in the air with her finger:
"Very likely! Absolutely."
Kanako Himuro tilted his head slightly:
"I don't think they meant any harm, but what they just said was definitely a lie, which is why I didn't tell them that Mitsuzuri just left."
Kaede Makidera nodded firmly. "You're right."
"Yes, yes, we absolutely cannot let them find Mitsuzuri."
Yukika Misuzu looked very serious.
"Let's go!"
Kanako Himuro didn't answer, but watched Iori Kitahara and Kohei Imamura keep asking the students questions, observing their expressions.
At the school gate.
Kohei Imamura's expression grew increasingly anxious. "What do we do? Nobody knows."
"No... they don't know."
Iori Kitahara spoke up. Based on the expressions of the classmates he had spoken with earlier, he could guess that they probably knew, but hadn't said anything.
That's normal. These guys don't look like high school students at all. They're asking about the famous Archery Club president at school, who's also a beauty.
Any student with a sense of caution would realize they had ulterior motives and would definitely not reveal anything.
He slightly bit his finger. What should he do?
Should we... try our luck?
"Excuse me, may I ask?"
A cold, somewhat ethereal female voice rang out.
Iori Kitahara, Kohei Imamura, and the others turned their heads.
Suddenly, Kanako Himuro appeared before them, followed by two friends who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Iori Kitahara opens her mouth:
"I remember you were the first one."
"Um."
Kanako Himuro nodded slightly, looking up into Iori Kitahara's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Iori Kitahara felt a little embarrassed by the stares. This girl was about the same age as her younger sister, and it was strange to be stared at like that.
Kanako Himuro spoke:
"What is your real purpose? If you can tell me, I might be able to provide some information."
"Hi-muro?"
"Hello!"
Kaede Makidera and Yukika Saegusa simply couldn't understand why she would do that.
Iori Kitahara was taken aback when she heard this. She turned to look at Kohei Imamura, and her expression became serious.
"We have learned that someone is going to do something bad to Ayako Misumi."
Kohei Imamura looked at them and said:
"Actually, we initially obtained the intelligence from you, but after our investigation, we received some additional intelligence that confirmed its authenticity."
Kanako Himuro ignored the whispers of his two friends behind him, "It's you guys, isn't it?" "Don't believe them." "They're definitely lying."
She pointed to the side, "Mitsuzuri should have just left before you arrived."
"?!"
Iori Kitahara and Kohei Imamura exchanged a glance and immediately thanked Kanako Himuro.
"Thanks."
"You've been a huge help!"
"We have to leave immediately!"
"Don't worry, we're definitely not bad people, we'll definitely save her!"
Kanako Himuro observed the expressions on their faces.
"I'll go with you. I know which way Mitsuzuri takes home."
"Um?!"
Kaede Makidera grabbed her shoulders. "Himuro, are you crazy?"
Yukika Misuzu: "They might be..."
Kanako Himuro and Iori Kitahara eyes:
"I know, so I went along."
Iori Kitahara really wanted to acknowledge this rational and brave girl.
But this game isn't just about street thugs; you might encounter inhuman beings. If something happens to this girl...
Even if she is an NPC, this is the case; she is as vivid as Makoto, but what if something happens to her?
This incident will haunt him for the rest of his life.
"Let her lead the way."
Lin Zhen spoke, looking at the [Kanako Himuro]:
"But remember, once you find or get close, you and your friends must leave, go straight home, and not come any closer."
[Kanako Himuro] paused for a moment, then nodded:
"Can."
She was now almost 90 percent certain that the people in front of her did not have any ill intentions.
"Is it really possible?"
Iori Kitahara and Kohei Imamura looked at Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen closed his eyes, canceled the use of the replica Mystic Eyes, and slowly recovered his energy.
"We don't have much time left, so we can only rely on this brave and clever little girl to lead the way and give us a chance."
"Let's go."
[Kanako Himuro] leads the way while gesturing for her friend to make a phone call to her family.
Iori Kitahara watched her retreating figure and let out a breath.
"Let's go, Imamura, Professor. We three grown men can't let her completely outshine us."
"Walk!"
"Um!"
The four of them quickly moved forward along the route that Ayako Misumi took home from school, while searching nearby alleys, suspicious shops, and even parked vehicles.
"Ha?"
Iori Kitahara knocked on the car window. The thug with pierced ears and a gold earring listened to him with a puzzled look, then immediately frowned:
"Is there anyone who dares to cause trouble on our Fujimura Group's turf?"
The thug glanced sideways, reached out to Iori Kitahara and the others, and pointed to the back door of the car:
"Get in the car, I'll take you to find a few."
"Whoever is blind is really tired of living. How many times has Grandpa Lei Hua said that on Fujimura Group's territory, don't even think about messing with students."
"Um?"
Iori Kitahara and the others exchanged glances, unsure whether they should go in.
"You must be relatives of that student,"
The blond-haired thug spoke up, "Our group's leader usually works in Suiqunyuan, and my kid will definitely go there to study in the future."
"Don't worry, I'll find the person for you today no matter what. I'll just call a few more brothers if necessary."
"Superior."
Lin Zhen opened the car door and spoke.
