Multiversal Friendship System-Chapter 159 - 158 – Such Great Evil!

Souta instantly teleported 5 kilometers away, standing atop a high-rise building.

With the aid of divine power, his vision surpassed human limits as he observed the situation at the hospital.

Since he wasn't sure if Mio could detect him, he didn't look directly into the ward but instead monitored the spiritual energy fluctuations around the hospital.

"In the world of Date A Live, there should be something like fate, right?"

Souta suddenly felt a bit sentimental.

Throwing more than a hundred million people from the past into this world in batches would create an unimaginable butterfly effect.

And yet, the fate of Miku remained unchanged.

Or perhaps... those destined to become Spirits wouldn't undergo much change at all.

"Speaking of which, just how strong is Mio now, after splitting her power?"

Souta suddenly felt a little curious and wanted to test her.

However, after some careful thought, he decided not to court death needlessly.

Once Mio unfolded her Angel, she could probably break through his defenses in a single move.

Moreover, the sheer amount of spirit energy within her was absurd. To stop time against someone of her level, Souta estimated that he still wasn't capable enough.

"Uh... why do I keep thinking about fighting?"

Souta scratched his cheek, feeling that he was becoming increasingly violent lately.

As his thoughts wandered, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the hospital.

However, no spacequake occurred.

A Spirit would only trigger a spacequake through their own will, or when transitioning from the Neighboring Realm to the present world.

Of course, even if a spacequake did occur, Mio Takamiya would likely prevent it.

After all, she only wanted to resurrect Shinji Takamiya—she wasn't heartless enough to let innocent people in the hospital die unnecessarily.

"Did it succeed...?"

Souta focused his attention, sensing Mio Takamiya's presence.

The overwhelming spiritual energy she emitted had already disappeared from the hospital.

In its place, a new source of spiritual energy was disturbing the detection techniques he had set up.

Realizing this, Souta concluded that Mio Takamiya had already left. Without hesitation, he teleported straight to the hospital room using his divine power.

As he arrived at the ward, he felt the surge of spiritual energy.

Looking toward the eye of the storm, he saw Miku standing there, eyes closed, as if feeling the power within her.

She was now dressed in her Spirit attire: her upper body adorned with detached sleeves and ribbon-like bands of light, while her lower body featured a skirt with radiant frilled edges—resembling a dress of pure light.

The part of the Spirit attire covering her legs and hips looked like smooth white tights, exuding an aura of innocence and drawing the imagination.

On her head, the crescent-moon-shaped ornament added an inexplicable charm.

It was an outfit identical to the one she wore during her idol performances.

"Miku...?" Souta called out.

Hearing his voice, Miku's delicate brows twitched slightly before she opened her eyes.

"You're back, Souta."

Her eyes gleamed with unmistakable joy.

"I really... became a Spirit!"

With a snap of her fingers, a giant pipe organ with a glowing keyboard appeared before her—her Angel, Gabriel.

As her Angel manifested, the spiritual energy around her danced in excitement. Unable to hold back, she spun around, stepping into an elegant yet lighthearted dance.

Confidence radiated from her.

After a while, she finally calmed down from the exhilaration of gaining extraordinary power.

"Thank you... I truly appreciate it, Souta."

Still in her Spirit attire, Miku's face showed a hint of emotion as she approached Souta and bowed sincerely.

"No need to be so formal—we're friends now, after all." Souta smiled, happy for her. "Friends should be more natural with each other."

"Just... friends?"

Miku mumbled softly, seeming a little dissatisfied with that description.

However, before Souta could react, she quickly regained her excited expression and asked:

"My voice... does it really have the power to control people's hearts?"

"Yes," Souta recalled and explained, "If you infuse your voice with spirit energy, any request you make will be impossible for humans to refuse."

"Then let me try."

Miku gazed at Souta, anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Then, she spoke:

"Souta, please... h-hug me!"

Souta: "..."

Resting his chin on one hand, he coughed lightly and said:

"Uh, abusing familiarity... isn't good, right?"

"..." Miku's face instantly turned red.

Gathering the courage to say those words with infused spirit energy had been difficult enough, yet Souta responded like this?

She couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Unwilling to give up, she forced herself to ask:

"You... you didn't follow my command. Why?"

"I'm not an ordinary person," Souta shook his head. "I have protective power that constantly shields me, nullifying any interference that isn't strong enough."

Hearing this, Miku felt another wave of disappointment—but she hid it from Souta.

That had been the perfect excuse and opportunity... but since it didn't work, it was wasted.

If she tried again, Souta would definitely realize she was doing it on purpose.

"You have androphobia, don't you?" Souta sighed helplessly. "Why would you give that kind of command?"

"I think... I might have overcome it." Miku said.

In truth, she hadn't overcome it at all. But somehow, she felt that if she touched Souta now, she wouldn't experience the usual disgust.

Unfortunately, Souta didn't give her the chance.

"Now that you've gained the power of a Spirit, it's time for us to part ways."

Souta checked his system phone—it had already been nearly six days since he arrived.

"You're leaving?" Miku was startled. "Where are you going?"

"There are things I need to take care of... in the past."

"Another... time travel mission?"

"Yeah," Souta nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, you're really strong now. Even without me around, you'll be fine on your own."

"I..." Miku bit her lip, her face filled with reluctance.

But she had already taken up so much of Souta's time. She didn't have the heart to ask him to stay any longer.

"Then... can you go shopping with me? Just for an afternoon."

Miku's eyes were filled with expectation.

"Of course, that's no problem at all," Souta agreed warmly. "Time travel isn't urgent. Let's go now—but you should change first."

"Mm... wait a moment."

Following her instincts, Miku dismissed her Spirit attire.

In an instant, as the glowing fragments of energy dispersed, she stood completely naked before Souta's eyes.

Souta's eyes widened... Everything else in his vision faded, leaving only two overwhelming, vision-blurring "rabbits."

They swayed slightly, and his heartbeat trembled in response.

"So big..."

"A-AHHH!" Miku screamed.

Souta quickly averted his gaze and snapped his fingers.

At the snap, a refined and elegant school uniform appeared on Miku's body, covering her delicate figure.

"Did you... see?"

"Cough... Sorry, unavoidable circumstance." Souta felt a little guilty and asked curiously, "By the way, where did your clothes go before you transformed?"

"I don't know either..." Miku blushed slightly, looking embarrassed.

But considering her usual personality, Souta had a feeling she did it on purpose.

"This uniform..." Miku soon realized it looked quite nice.

"Ah, it's the one your future self wears."

Souta explained before quickly changing the topic to avoid awkwardness:

"Didn't you want to go shopping? Let's head out now."

"Souta," Miku suddenly flashed a mischievous smile. "Going out with a girl wearing nothing underneath... You're quite the villain."

She playfully lifted her skirt slightly, revealing a glimpse of her fair thighs.

Souta sighed helplessly. Why did the girls around him always love teasing him?

"Want me to conjure up some underwear too?" he offered.

"No need," Miku quickly shook her head, smiling. "Let's go buy some. I want you to help me pick."
