Just moments earlier...
Fubuki had come to visit Bai Ye as usual, and, as always, his front door was unlocked.
Almost every time Fubuki came over, someone was home.
This time, however, she wanted to make sure Bai Ye was safe. After all, she still had no idea how his battle with the Ruler of the Universe had ended.
But the moment she walked in, she saw Boros sitting on the couch...
Fubuki instantly froze in fright.
"Hmm?"
Boros noticed Fubuki then, too. He turned toward her and said, "Are you a friend of Bai Ye's? Come in and have a seat."
Eek...!
But the look in Boros's eye made Fubuki's pretty face turn pale.
She had never imagined that this Ruler of the Universe, who had intended to destroy Earth, would actually appear in Bai Ye's home.
While under the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Fubuki had only seen that Boros's Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon could destroy Earth's surface. She hadn't seen anything after Bai Ye pulled Boros into the Origin Ball Space, so she had no idea what happened afterward.
From Fubuki's perspective, it seemed as though something had happened to Bai Ye, or perhaps he had fled with serious injuries, and the Ruler of the Universe had pursued him here...
Boros's question about whether she was "a friend of Bai Ye's" only made her more certain that he had come for revenge.
No ordinary person who didn't know the circumstances would have imagined that the Ruler of the Universe, Boros, had not only lost but also become Bai Ye's companion...
Although Fubuki was terrified, she remained relatively calm.
Knowing she couldn't possibly resist the Ruler of the Universe or escape him, she could only steel herself and sit down across from Boros, though her movements were noticeably stiff.
