Miyuki Shiba's words startled Yunyi.
He had heard of the special emotional connection between twins, but Miyuki Shiba and Tatsuya Shiba didn't have that kind of relationship.
"Could it be that they, as siblings, developed a special spiritual connection after Miyuki was saved from the brink of death by Tatsuya's magic during the Okinawa Incident?" Yunyi wondered.
The original work contains many descriptions of the emotional bond between the brother and sister, but aside from the shackles, there isn't much mention of anything related to their spiritual connection. Or perhaps it's due to hazy memories, and he has forgotten some of the relevant recollections.
After recalling the descriptions in the original work, Yunyi's expression also turned serious.
"Could you elaborate on your feelings? If it's a woman's intuition or something, that's a bit inappropriate here, Miyuki," Yunyi said.
Miyuki Shiba nodded, and after gathering her thoughts, she slowly spoke, "That day, when you came to discuss the cooperation with my brother, I felt a strong sense of crisis. I think it was after hearing about the ' Parasite ' that this sense of crisis arose. At first, I thought it was just because of my fear of unknown creatures, but the more information I learned, the clearer the feeling became."
"So, when you asked for our help, I wanted to refuse. But my brother agreed first, so I didn't say anything. However, after that, I carefully sorted out my thoughts at the time, and the conclusion I came to was that I wasn't afraid of the ' Parasite ' themselves, but rather afraid of my brother making contact with Parasite. I didn't want my brother to get involved in this trouble."
At this point, Miyuki Shiba paused slightly before continuing, "As for the feeling of losing my brother, that feeling started after that. I don't know why I have this feeling, but I don't want my brother to get involved in this trouble. Yunyi, can you promise me?"
Faced with Miyuki Shiba's question, Yunyi was also at a loss for what to do. To deal with " Parasite," Mental Interference Magic is the most effective means of combat. And the only person he knew who could use this magic, besides the one in front of him, was Yuuka Tsukuba.
If Tatsuya Shiba is excluded from the plan, then Miyuki Shiba will certainly be unable to participate. In that case, it's uncertain whether Yuuka Tsukuba alone can complete what he entrusted to her, not to mention that with the two siblings absent, Yuuka Tsukuba might not cooperate.
However, Yun couldn't bring himself to force a high school girl who didn't want her family to be in danger. After a moment's thought, he said, "Alright, I agree to your request. I'll try to avoid you and Tatsuya during the operation. But I hope you can get Yuuka Tsukuba to assist me as much as possible. Otherwise, I'll simply abandon methods like sealing and control to deal with the ' Parasite ' and resort to more drastic measures. Don't blame me if that causes any irreversible consequences for Japan."
"No, Yunyi, that's not what I meant." Hearing Yunyi's words, Miyuki Shiba waved her hand anxiously, trying to stop him from continuing.
"What's wrong?" Her appearance puzzled Yunyi.
" Yunyi, I just want you to stay out of this mess. As for me, I'll do my best to help you deal with those ' Parasite ' along with Fumiya," Miyuki Shiba explained.
Upon hearing her words, Yunyi was immediately stunned.
"Do you want to hear what you just said?" Yunyi asked incredulously.
"You came to help me with Yuuka Tsukuba, and then excluded Tatsuya? Why would you think that? He's your protector, isn't he? He spends most of his time around you, how could he let you risk your life alone?"
"I will persuade my brother," Miyuki Shiba said solemnly.
Seeing her serious expression, Yunyi frowned even more. If it weren't for the fact that Miyuki Shiba was very averse to being touched by strangers, he really wanted to reach out and check if this girl had a fever and damaged her brain.
" Miyuki, are you sure you're mentally sound right now, that there's nothing wrong with you, and that you haven't gone insane or anything, right?" Yunyi seemed to want to confirm, and asked a very impolite question.
However, in response to his question, Miyuki Shiba replied solemnly, " Yunyi, I am perfectly sober right now."
"I understand, but dealing with the ' Parasite ' doesn't need to start immediately. I want to find their trail first. You can think about it again before that. If you really decide to do it this way, you can come with Yuuka Tsukuba." In the end, Yunyi agreed to Miyuki Shiba's suggestion.
What he needs is an accomplice who can use Mental Interference Magic. As for Tatsuya Shiba, his role in this matter is far inferior to that of Miyuki Shiba. If Miyuki Shiba can handle him, excluding him from the operation plan wouldn't be difficult.
Having reached an agreement, the two got up and left the coffee shop, but as soon as they stepped outside, they saw Tatsuya Shiba standing at the door.
"Oh, here to pick up your sister?" Yunyi greeted Tatsuya Shiba as usual.
However, Tatsuya Shiba did not respond at all; his gaze towards the two men held a hint of doubt.
"Brother?" Miyuki Shiba stepped forward, stood in front of her brother, and looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, I just noticed you went out alone, so I came to check on you," Tatsuya Shiba said.
" Yunyi, good morning. What's going on with you two?" After saying that, Tatsuya Shiba turned his gaze to Yunyi and asked.
"Oh, it's about the ' Parasite.' Miyuki came to confirm some information with me so I can Yuuka Tsukuba to devise a countermeasure." Yunyi made up a reason to brush it off.
"I understand. But it seems you've finished talking? Then I'll take Miyuki back?"
OK~
After watching the brother and sister leave, Yunyi stood there in silence. Today's events had indeed exceeded his expectations, both in terms of Miyuki Shiba's determination and Tatsuya Shiba's attitude.
Yunyi couldn't find a suitable reason to explain why things had turned out this way. In his opinion, perhaps it was because he had revealed too much of their relationship to them beforehand that Miyuki Shiba had different ideas.
Back home, Yunyi arranged the food she had packed before waking her three sisters who were still in bed. Seeing the three of them, one big and two small, sitting at the table with sleepy eyes, Yunyi was at a loss for words.
On his rare day off, Yunyi had no interest in entertainment because of the " Parasite " and " Blanche " incident. His attitude also affected Mayumi Saegusa. As the person responsible for gathering intelligence by Yunyi's side, Mayumi Saegusa focused most of her attention on the specially made terminal.
However, their efforts ultimately yielded no intelligence. As night fell again, Mayumi Saegusa's terminal only received some insignificant messages.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have taken the two little ones out for a walk. They looked so bored at home today, it was quite pitiful." Yunyi, leaning against Mayumi Saegusa's shoulder, glanced at the sky outside and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's resolve this issue before taking them out. Otherwise, wouldn't it be even worse to abandon them halfway through their playtime?" Mayumi Saegusa gently brushed a stray hair from Yunyi's forehead and said softly.
The two exchanged a helpless smile and got up to go downstairs together. Since they couldn't take the two little ones out to play, they would at least make them something nice to eat.
However, just as the two of them relaxed slightly, Mayumi Saegusa's phone suddenly rang.
"Huh? Jumonji-kun? What does he want from me?" Mayumi Saegusa muttered to herself in confusion as she ate.
But when she answered the phone, the message from Katsuto Jumonji made her immediately stop what she was doing.
"How are they doing now?" Mayumi Saegusa asked anxiously.
"I understand. Yunyi-kun and I will head over right away. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Mayumi Saegusa looked at Yunyi and said, " Yunyi-kun, let's go to the First General Hospital. Isori and Chiyoda were attacked; one is seriously injured and the other is unconscious."
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's words, Yunyi paused for a moment, then dropped his chopsticks, got up, and went upstairs to change his clothes.
On the way to the hospital with Mayumi Saegusa on his motorcycle, Yunyi sorted out some of his thoughts. When he was arranging the guards, he had considered increasing the number of guards for Kei Isori. However, Kei Isori trusted his fiancée very much, and since they both came from the Yotsuba, he didn't insist. As a result, only a few days later, the two of them were both in the hospital.
When the two arrived at the hospital, Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba had just arrived as well. Suzune Ichihara and Lina were waiting for them in the hospital lobby.
" Tatsuya and Miyuki, what are you two doing here?" Yunyi asked, frowning.
"It was Ichihara-senpai notified us; it must be about senior student Isori," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
"What a mess!" Yunyi complained, then turned and walked into the lobby.
In situations like this, protecting your own safety is the top priority. What good will rushing over do? Will it just cause trouble?
With these thoughts in mind, Yunyi glanced at Suzune Ichihara and Lina standing in the lobby, then went straight upstairs. He needed to find out who had attacked Kei Isori and Kanon Chiyoda. If there were any " Parasite " involved, could he get some clues from them?
In front of an operating room on the third floor, Katsuto Jumonji stood with his arms crossed, waiting for news. Only after Yunyi came to his side did he open his slightly closed eyes.
"He's Isori inside. His condition is very bad; his life is in danger," Katsuto Jumonji.
"Do you know who the attackers are?" Yunyi asked.
Katsuto Jumonji shook his head and said, "Judging from the surveillance footage, the two of them were attacked on their way home. The attacker's identity was well concealed, and Chiyoda was knocked unconscious by a special method. After being taken to the hospital, it was discovered that nearly half of her blood had been drained."
Upon hearing this, Yunyi's eyes narrowed instantly.
It's a " Parasite "!
"Yes, her symptoms are basically consistent with the information you provided and the information I collected. However, she is still unconscious and it will probably take some time before she wakes up," Katsuto Jumonji.
"I'll go check out Chiyoda; maybe we can find some clues. I'll leave this to you, Chief Jumonji - Mayumi comes up, have her go find me over there." Yunyi gave these instructions before turning and leaving the operating room.
Led by a nurse, Yunyi arrived at Kanon Chiyoda's hospital room. She was lying in the intensive care unit, with several tubes inserted all over her body to keep her life afloat.
When Yunyi pushed open the ward door and walked in, the two nurses inside tried to stop him, but he cast a Kotodama Curse on them, turning them into two statues that could only move their eyes.
" Domain Expansion!"
Without saying a word, Yunyi immediately activated his domain, " The Fool's World ".
Through complete control of Psions, Yunyi directly replicated the magic used to detect vital signs. However, when he clearly saw Kanon Chiyoda's vital signs, he was taken aback. At this moment, there were vital signs fluctuations within Kanon Chiyoda's body that were not human!
" Mayumi, bring Miyuki to this ward immediately! Quick, there's a ' Parasite ' here that needs to be dealt with!" Yunyi reacted immediately, took out his phone, and dialed Mayumi Saegusa's number.
Just as the call connected, Yunyi used magic to knock out the two nurses. At the same time, he also blocked the security camera in the ward, ensuring that what happened inside wouldn't be recorded.
Not long after, Mayumi Saegusa and Miyuki Shiba arrived. And Miyuki Shiba somehow managed to get Tatsuya Shiba away.
" Yunyi-kun, what's this about the ' Parasite ' you mentioned here!?" Mayumi Saegusa asked anxiously as soon as she entered the room.
Yunyi pointed to Kanon Chiyoda on the hospital bed and said, "There are non-human life signs fluctuating within Chiyoda's body. I think it should be a ' Parasite.' She must have been parasitized by the split ' Parasite ' at the same time as she was attacked."
After saying that, Yunyi turned to look at Miyuki Shiba and said, " Miyuki, I will use magic to assist you in your observation, and then you will use Mental Interference Magic to hypnotize the ' Parasite ' and make it stop parasitizing."
