"Yalin, thank you."
In the president's office, Miku Izayoi looked at the surge in fans on her blog and the apology posts, feeling a mix of emotions.
However, after being betrayed once, she no longer cared about these fans as much as before, and she laughed off their promises and guarantees.
No matter how nicely these fans talk, their performance when faced with problems has already made Yuuichi Miku lose all hope.
The only fan she cared about was the person in front of her.
She approached Yalin, bent down slightly, and said sweetly, "How can I thank you, my manager?"
"You're welcome. We're mutually benefiting. After all, you also obtained the spirit crystal, which can help me complete my work."
Yalin poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, avoiding being drawn to the treasure on the other person's chest.
"Although I am indeed your fan, you already know that my motives for helping you are not pure."
Back in the lounge, after Yalin discovered a huge mistake in the plan, he disregarded the objections of Nia and the others and immediately told Izayoi Miku his purpose.
While he doesn't mind being admired by beautiful girls, one thing is one thing; once feelings are involved, the purely cooperative relationship will change. If things aren't clarified immediately, things will become complicated later.
As for Miku Izayoi's reaction, she didn't care too much after thinking for a moment.
"Yalin's frankness is really direct; he could have continued to keep it from me."
However, I don't dislike this kind of honesty.
Miku Izayoi stared at Ayrin, her tone relaxed.
"Yalin, you could have let me suffer even greater setbacks before extending a helping hand, so that I could only rely on you when I was in dire straits."
Despite the risk of things going wrong, he stood up for me, encouraged me, and protected me.
As a fan, isn't doing this a way of showing your love for my idol?
The girl smiled; in her moment of panic, it was the other person who offered encouragement and trust. That will never change.
"As for your goal, you were also protecting me when I met that phantom, preventing me from being hurt by the other party if I failed."
As she spoke, Miku Yosuke transformed into her spirit form, making her appear quite dazzling.
Even now, she finds this ability incredible.
The day after the concert ended, Yalin and she plotted to create a phantom. Under Yalin's multiple disguises, she appeared to be distraught and utterly hopeless about the world because of the concert's failure and being abandoned by her fans, which successfully lured the phantom out.
The other party gave her a talisman representing the ninth point of matter—the fundamental spiritual crystal.
Mio Takamiya probably never imagined that someone would be so ruthless as to deliberately take advantage of her power.
Of course, her motives were quite sinister.
“Miss Miku Izayoi is risking her life for me. If you get hurt, it won’t meet my expectations,” Yalin explained.
"Please call me Miku." Miku Izayoi immediately corrected herself, then smiled.
“Yalin’s promise to me was not false; he was willing to support me, and that is enough.”
Yalin remained silent for a long time in response to this sentiment.
Over the next few days, he fulfilled Miku Izayoi's various small requests, went shopping and on dates with her, sang duets together, and fed each other, as if they were more than just close friends.
Just as the power of the twelfth bullet was about to end, Yalin collected his thoughts and spoke to Miku Izayoi.
"Time is running out, and I should leave."
"So suddenly?" Miku Izayoi frowned deeply, feeling very unwilling to accept this.
She paced back and forth, pondering various solutions, even considering using the power of the Angelic Breaking Army Diva to prevent the other party from leaving.
She just remembered that the other party had said that it took a great deal of effort to help her.
Staying would be a rather bad situation for Yalin.
"When will I be able to see Yalin again?" She wanted a specific number, and then waited with hope.
"I'll need your help in a year."
"It's really this long?" She looked disappointed and sighed heavily.
Then he came up to Yalin and looked at him seriously: "Could you tell me about your origins?"
If I told you, just how messed up would this timeline be?
You can't just say he comes from the future and his purpose is to solve Miku Izayoi's problem and sign a contract.
However, given her current state, whether or not the contract is signed is not that important.
All she has to do is say one word, and Miku will willingly assist her.
"Yarin, please tell me." Seeing that Yarin did not directly deny it, Miku Izayoi's eyes lit up, and she kept pleading in a low voice.
Even if I told you, for your safety, you would forget your origins after I leave.
Are you sure you want to know?
Yalin said in a deep voice.
Regarding the time aspect, for the first test, Yalin does not intend to make too many changes. He may even proactively reduce the related impact and disguise the changes to verify the effect of the historical correction power.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have activated the Akarin spell immediately.
In addition, it was to prevent Mio Takamiya from discovering the problem.
Is it really that mysterious?
Miku Izayoi stared expectantly at Ayrin, waiting for him to tell the truth.
......
At Ryudanji Girls' Academy, Miku Izayoi is contemplating the situation at the Elf Apartment.
Not long ago, she was ambushed and taken to an apartment, where her abilities were forcibly sealed.
She was naturally quite annoyed by this, but after seeing that she was surrounded by spirits, Miku Izayoi became curious.
This was the first time she had encountered other spirits, especially so many, since she had obtained the spirit crystal from the phantom a year ago.
Therefore, they wanted to stay and gather intelligence.
After all, her new manager, who was also her most loyal fan, was quite interested in elves and needed their assistance with a task.
If she could persuade these elves, perhaps she could help him.
Miku Izayoi also wanted to give her beloved, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, a surprise.
However, the threat posed by that two-dimensional elf was too terrifying, and leaving was not an option.
She only loves Yalin, the man who saved her, and would never fall for anyone else.
However, with a year to go, she eagerly anticipates seeing him again.
Just thinking of Yalin brought a smile to Miku Izayoi's face, a smile rarely seen on her face.
This feeling, after being tempered by time, has not weakened but has instead become even more intense.
It even led her to decide that this time she absolutely had to stay by Yalin's side.
As she pondered this, some forgotten memories surfaced in her mind.
......
"So, someone from the future traveled here to change my fate?" Miku Izayoi's eyes widened, taken aback by the answer.
"That's right. According to the records of Erya's Confessions, after you were framed, your condition deteriorated day by day, and you became more and more haggard. Eventually, you suffered from aphonia and became completely desperate about humanity and the world."
He then encountered a phantom and became an elf.
Yalin explained that this was not something he knew through the whispered texts, but rather through his understanding of the storyline of the duel.
"To go to such lengths to save me, Yalin is truly my number one fan." Miku Izayoi said half-jokingly, her eyes close to her mouth, her mood quite peculiar.
Although the cost is unclear, time travel is definitely not an easy task.
He actually went to such lengths for himself.
If it's just about signing a contract, then let her assist him.
Even if the future Miku Izayoi is disappointed with, fears, and unwilling to trust humans, Ayrin's personality and abilities will be able to restore her trust and make her willingly assist him in his mission.
Miku Izayoi is fully confident about this.
"Then, let's sign the contract." Miku Izayoi took Yarin's hand, even more eager than Yarin himself.
"No need. Will you regret it in the future?" Yalin asked calmly, looking at the hand that was being held tightly.
The purpose of a contract is to prevent the other party from breaking their promises or changing their mind; it acts as an insurance policy.
Like Kurumi in the beginning, and like Eren, they naturally needed to draw up a contract to establish a basis for cooperation between the two parties.
“Of course not, I would never refuse Yalin’s request,” Miku Izayoi replied immediately.
“In that case, there’s no need to sign it,” Yalin said matter-of-factly.
Moreover, signing a contract carries a burden, though it may be insignificant to him now.
"I will make you forget your memory of this conversation, and the effect will not be lifted until you meet me again."
This is a skill he developed by focusing on the Unsealing Master and combining his understanding of the rules of time; its effects are guaranteed to be quite covert.
Furthermore, his existence prevented him from being recorded in the Whispering Book, so even Mio Takamiya couldn't detect the anomaly in his memories.
Even if it were him, he would overlook it if he didn't specifically probe his memories.
and many more....
Yalin's mind raced, and he sensed something was wrong.
He concealed most of the traces, making it impossible for the whispered confession to detect anything amiss, and this effect further enhanced the story...
Perhaps, his alteration of Miku Izayoi's past is also part of history.
"Interesting, the corrective power of this world is truly astonishing."
Yalin sighed, having obtained the results of this time travel test.
Of course, now that we've realized this, we can forcefully change things and break this cycle.
There was no need for that; he was quite satisfied with the current outcome.
