Chapter 517
Silvaria World Institute, Villa area...
In a villa that's larger than the others around it, a student in a gold-gilded special student uniform sat in the living room . She had glossy pink hair and her sigh didn't mar her beautiful looks at all .
Usually, this villa would be full of life . However, the villa is very quiet right now . It's so quiet that it's starting to creep Hinagiku out .
Hinagiku sighed again . Frustrated and bored, she rested her head on the table while mumbling her concern .
"I wonder how the others are doing?"
Sitting by her side, a blonde little girl with a beret cap fiddled with an empty cake plate . She finished her treat and now she's just as bored as Hinagiku . Her side-tail twitched from time to time as if it's alive .
"Hinagiku-nee, when will Onii-chan return? Flan misses him so much..."
Flandre-chan is starting to regret not following Wu Yan into the transcript world . She wanted to go on more playdates with Lirin but the Grand Tournament changed their identities .
To avoid issues and scandals, Flandre-chan was told not to go outside and Little Lirin was told by her faction to not meet up with her without supervision or escort . Hence, Flandre finds herself in an unprecedented crisis of boredom .
Ikaros and Mikoto left, making this villa very desolate . Hinagiku who is calmer in temperament can barely hold on, what's more to say of Flandre-chan who liked running around and playing than stay inside?
Flandre-chan asked the wrong people .
"How would I know?..."
Hinagiku responded with a slightly upset tone .
"I want him to come back right now, that way, we can move out immediately after Mikoto . "
"Muu..."
Flandre-chan lowered her head in a crestfallen manner .
"Flan should have followed Onii-chan this morning..."
Hinagiku bitterly laughed . Hinagiku understood where she came from, she also missed the jerk who would always be up to no good if she didn't keep an eye on him .
Flandre-chan puckered her lips . She rested her head on the table before she murmured .
"Onii-chan, I wish you would come back soon..."
A familiar voice rang . As if he had listened to her wish, Wu Yan appeared in the living room, floating in midair . He landed and he looked around before asking the girls .
"Nn? Why's it so quiet around here?..."
Hinagiku and Flandre-chan immediately sat up when they heard him . They looked in his direction and their eyes widened with glee .
Wu Yan returned from Date A Live, materializing out of nowhere .
"Yan!"
Hinagiku cried out in joy, her voice wavered for a moment but nobody noticed it .
"Onii-chan!"
Flandre used her chair as a launching pad to propel herself towards Wu Yan with her wings . Wu Yan is surprised by the warm welcome, he caught Flandre-chan and he chastized her .
"Flandre-chan, If I didn't catch you then you would have had quite a fall there..."
"Flan's not afraid..."
Flandre-chan looked up at him, she rubbed her head against Wu Yan's chest, it's like she's trying to absorb as much Oniichanium as possible .
"I know Onii-chan would catch me for sure..."
"What if I didn't?"
Wu Yan chuckled . This is probably Flandre-chan's way of showing how dearly she missed him .
"Flan's not afraid as well!"
She had a mischievous grin . She flapped her crystal wings like she's showing them off .
"Flan's got a pair of wings, I won't fall!"
"You little..."
He pinched her nose . Supporting her by her thighs, he looked at Hinagiku before greeting her .
"Hinagiku, why don't you give me a loving hug just like Flandre-chan here?"
"You wish!"
Hinagiku rolled her eyes at him . She suppressed her overflowing emotions and she looked him in the eyes intently .
"Eh..."
Hinagiku felt something strange . She felt like Wu Yan has somehow grown .
"You've changed..."
She examined Wu Yan but she can't find anything other than a change in aura .
"Yan! You ascended another tier?"
"Oh? You can feel that?!"
Wu Yan nodded .
"Yeah, I gained quite a lot on this trip..."
"That's great!"
Hinagiku clenched her fists .
"Now that you're level 70, you can help Mikoto and the others on a greater scale!"
Wu Yan frowned .
"Where's Mikoto & Ikaros? Did they go out for something?"
"Ah, yes, they went out..."
Hinagiku sighed .
"They probably won't be back for a bit..."
"What do you mean?"
Wu Yan's smile dimmed down . Something must have happened .
Hinagiku approached him . She continued .
"When you were gone, an issue occurred . "
"I don't like the sound of that..."
Wu Yan's chest tightened .
"What happened?"
Hinagiku thought about how to break it to him .
"A few hours after you left, one Misaka clone came over here..."
Wu Yan listened and his anxiety grew by the minute . He calmed himself down by the time Hinagiku finished explaining the situation to him .
"Mikoto and the others are traveling towards Giant Beast Forest?"
Hinagiku nodded .
"I stayed here to relay this to you when you come back . Shokuhou said that you're going to go bonkers if you return and find the home mysteriously empty..."
Hinagiku looked at Wu Yan and she urged him into action .
"Yan, since you're back let's go and catch up to Mikoto . "
"Yeah..."
Wu Yan hoisted Hinagiku up by her thighs and he flew up into the sky . With Hinagiku and Flandre-chan in his arms, he continued .
"I didn't think I would use it so soon..."
Wu Yan grinned in front of Hinagiku and Flandre-chan who are puzzled by his behavior .
The next instant, the two girls' eyes popped when they saw what Wu Yan took out from his Gate of Babylon .
A giant ripple formed in the sky and a gigantic airship came out from the portal, its engine blaring in a deafening manner .
Fraxinus appeared .
