Feeling Like We'd Been Set Up

Asuna glanced at Arcueid, who was looking at her with curiosity, and couldn't help but sigh.

She originally intended to find other people, but unexpectedly she was stopped halfway, and the other person immediately revealed her identity as someone from another world.

Looking at Li Yu's information, Asuna actually thought it made a lot of sense. After a brief conversation, she found that this vampire was frighteningly naive.

"What does she want from you?" Li Yu sent another message. Asuna was a little annoyed when she saw this message because she didn't know what the other party wanted.

"I don't know... she just said she wanted to stay with me..." Asuna truthfully told Li Yu what had happened. This answer surprised Li Yu. Arcueid was temporarily staying with Asuna? What did that mean?

Li Yu frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he gave up. He couldn't guess what the other party was planning. After thinking for a while, Li Yu sent a message to Asuna: "If the other party doesn't have any ill intentions, let her follow for now. This vampire is probably not simple. See if you can learn something from her!"

Li Yu didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, but it didn't matter. Since the other party wanted to follow, then so be it. Li Yu was actually quite envious of Arcueid's ability— the Marble Phantasm. Li Yu really liked that.

To transform the world into the environment one envisions, to materialize everything one desires, to create something from nothing—this is practically Creation -level ability.

Asuna, on the Asuna, felt somewhat helpless upon seeing the message, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't very well stop the other person from following along.

After briefly explaining her situation to Li Yu, Asuna then spoke with Arcueid, saying, "Miss Arcueid, I'm going to find my companions now. If you'd like to come along, please do."

Upon hearing Asuna's words, Arcueid quickly nodded and said, "Yes, please guide me from now on. The world asked me to follow you, saying that you can resolve my troubles."

She came to Arcueid because she had received information from the world; all she had to do was follow this girl, which made Arcueid very happy.

Asuna felt like she'd been set up. It all started after she entered this world. First, everyone was forced to separate, and then strange people came knocking on her door.

Are there really that many vampires in this world? Several people in my class have encountered vampires. Could someone turn into a vampire next? This strange thought flashed through Asuna's mind.

After ending his chat with Asuna, Li Yu looked at the other people's messages. Most of them were about what had happened to them, and unsurprisingly, these people had all encountered some strange beings around them.

Looking at this information, Li Yu was utterly speechless. These were all troublesome people, even though many of them were strangers to Li Yu... but these guys represented trouble, didn't they?

Some church members even approached them, asking them to help eradicate heresy, claiming it was a revelation from the Lord.

"I'm tired. Destruction. It feels like they're just trying to make us work for them!" Li Yu put away his phone, too lazy to think about these issues anymore.

Li Yu didn't believe for a second that no one was behind this sudden collective mishap. It was either Alaya or Gaia who intended for these people from another world to help them deal with the situation!

I suspect so myself, otherwise why would I have come to Fuyuki City and gotten involved in the Holy Grail War? Is this some kind of scheme to get my help in dealing with the All the World's Evil?

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then immediately tried to contact Nangong Natsuki in his mind to see if he could still reach this world and if those marks could still be used.

"Can you hear Natsuki-chan?" Li Yu activated the mark on his forehead to make contact, but this time, there was no reply for a long time after he called out.

Unbeknownst to Li Yu, two people were arguing amongst themselves. They had intercepted the messages Li Yu sent and were whispering about whether to cut off these people's contact with the other side.

"Forget it, if we really cut off the connection, I suspect they'll call us directly. Let's not do it, Alaya!" Gaia thought about it and decided to give up on completely severing the connection with these people.

If they really cut off contact, the other side will think something bad has happened to these people and they'll actually attack, especially Li Yu... How could someone like that be born in that world? Is this kind of talent for real?

"Hmm... that makes sense. But if these people want to benefit from our world, they'd better work hard!" Alaya thought about it and agreed that it made a lot of sense, so he simply stopped blocking Li Yu's communications.

They relayed the message Li Yu had just sent, and of course... they eavesdropped, fearing that Li Yu might be plotting something strange.

As the World Will, intercepting information flowing from this world is far too easy for them, which is why Li Yu's message was intercepted instantly.

The message Nangong Natsuki received arrived late. Upon hearing Li Yu's voice, she hurriedly replied, "I can hear you. What's the situation on your end?"

Upon receiving Nangong Natsuki's reply, Li Yu didn't think much of it, simply assuming it was due to the delay. He began communicating with Nangong Natsuki, saying, "We were forced to separate; our classmates were scattered all over the world."

Hearing this, Nangong Natsuki frowned. Were the locals over there really that unfriendly? Were they afraid her students would cause trouble? Nangong Natsuki felt a little dissatisfied.

"Tsk, so stingy. I told you we should have just called. You think you can turn the world upside down just because you're a cricket?" Nangong Natsuki's annoyed voice came from behind, leaving Alaya and Gaia, who were eavesdropping, completely dumbfounded.

What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by "we should just attack"? It's outrageous! What do you take our world for? This is absolutely outrageous!! And who are you calling stingy?!

"I didn't expect you to be such a radical, Natsuki-chan. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Do you want a daughter... no, a disciple? I found a little one with strong spatial attributes. I'm doing some illegal work for this world, so I might not have time to take care of her. If you want, I can send her over." Li Yu joked for a moment before getting down to business.

When Nangong Natsuki heard Li Yu mention the little guy with strong spatial attributes, she also became interested. If that was the case, she was really interested.

Although Li Yu had learned all of her spatial abilities, she felt very unfulfilled. If she could find someone with spatial talent, especially a young one, she certainly wouldn't mind raising another space beauty.

"Then send it back to me, and while you're at it, see if you can give it away in this world." Nangong Natsuki agreed readily, though there was a hint of testing in her tone.

Li Yu instantly understood. If they couldn't deliver the goods, it meant someone was up to something, and they might even be in danger, as they could be intercepted at any moment!

With this thought in mind, Li Yu hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll send her there for you tomorrow. Tell her that if we can't get her back, it means our safety rope is useless, and it also means this world isn't sincere. Then you'd better find a way to rescue us; war might be on the horizon!"

Li Yu had prepared for the worst. If they were truly trapped in this world, war would be the only option, though he didn't know if their world would go to war because of them...

"Yes, if these methods fail, then prepare for war. You guys also need to be prepared. We'll work together from the inside and outside. I don't believe those people over there can turn the tables. Be careful!" Nangong Natsuki's tone was extremely serious.

The two agreed on the matter and would contact each other again the next day. Alaya and Gaia heard every word they said.

"Damn it, what the hell? These bastards really have ill intentions, both of them want to start a war? This is just too much!!" Alaya was furious when she heard their conversation.

If she hadn't overheard their conversation, she wouldn't have known that the people over there were so unfriendly to their world, always thinking about starting a war, right? Fine, fine, I'll summon my Grand Servant right now.

"Calm down, Alaya. If we really go to war, we won't gain anything... That World Will over there is not to be trifled with... It's taller than us, stronger than us, has longer legs than us, and a better physique than us..." Gaia hurriedly pressed Alaya down.

Don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. That World Will is far stronger than theirs. If a real fight breaks out, they might pay a price, but we might be wiped out.

Hearing Gaia's words, Alaya was immediately furious, but there was nothing she could do, because she knew that what Gaia said was true. Thinking of this, Alaya sighed, and her self-light fell on Li Yu, and then slowly transferred to Sakura Ying.

With a cold snort, Alaya deleted all the parallel timelines on Sakura's body, leaving only the current one. "You want to take her away? Then take her away." Alaya was a little angry, but only for a moment.

Incidentally, she directly deleted Sakura's timeline, but even if she hadn't, it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway, as it would likely have been deleted in that world anyway. Sakura now only has one future.

After ending the call with Nangong Natsuki, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved to be able to contact her with his abilities; he was just afraid of not being able to reach her. He didn't think about it anymore and went straight to bed to rest.

Morgan and Da Vinci were outside, exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. They had both sensed Alaya's aura just now, though it was fleeting, they had still managed to catch it.

It seems the World Will is paying close attention to their master. This is going to be interesting. It seems like it's not a problem for visitors from another world to be constantly watched?

Da Vinci's lips curled into a slight smile. Her conversation with Li Yu today had sparked her considerable interest in Li Yu's world. Would she have the chance to visit and exchange ideas there someday?
