Chapter 585 Negotiation (2)

Chapter 585 Negotiation (2)

Meanwhile, Yuko, watching Daisuke from afar, focused her gaze on the woman possessing the mystical eyes that seemed on par with the Eye of Destiny.

In the past, she told Daisuke about her vision. The one vision from the far-off future where he's standing in front of everyone, his wide back inspiring awe and confidence. With him as the one leading the charge, they're ready to lay their life against the enemies encroaching on their world.

That particular glimpse of the future helped Daisuke a lot in coming to terms with his role as a Support as well as his inevitable fate with the women he encountered in various worlds. Without it, he'd always be cautious when dealing with his feelings for his would-be Companions so as not to disappoint Yuko before the restoration of his memories.

That future had yet to happen. And with the unsealing of Yuko's memories when she reached Transcendence, the missing details of that vision returned to her. She recalled those details that possibly got shelved along with her other memories when her father, Sugawara Hajime, placed a seal on her.

This time, with the Glacial Energy Storm clearing up, her eyes fixated on the woman.

She already felt the peculiarity earlier but she failed to connect their images.

"I see. That will be her. No wonder she's nowhere in sight in all the connected worlds and Earth. Dai-kun is going to take her back to Earth and make her one of our allies."

Although she was already half-convinced, the voice that left her mouth contained uncertainties.

She wouldn't be able to forget the fact that the woman almost killed Daisuke. Even if the woman's future was to be their ally in a battlefield, Yuko felt like not wanting to see it realized. It was the first time in years that she didn't want to agree to that vision.

She failed to recognize the woman when she had her veil on but after that close encounter with her, she recalled someone bearing the same appearance as her.

However, instead of being someone standing alongside Daisuke's companions, the woman was by her lonesome at one corner.

Her vicious appearance was nowhere in sight and she was like a different person altogether.

"So, that is what's going to happen... This moment is also part of that coming future. We're not here just because Daisuke picked this place to retaliate against the organization. We were led here because of her."

"Yuko?" Yse called out to her. She picked up the girl's mutterings. With her Eye of Destiny's ability to discern an individual's fate, the strings connected between Yuko and the woman Daisuke is facing gradually solidified. However, it's different from the white and black hue that she mentioned earlier.

It was purple.

Yuko looked at her with trembling eyes. And Yse answered positively.

"Did you see something else?" n)/o)/v.(e/)l()b.-I.-n

"Yes. The strings between you and her. It changed to purple."

This is tricky.

As much as my Companion trusts me to make the best decision, I don't want to decide on this alone.

I want to hear their thoughts.

Turning around to face them, I sent the message to everyone through our Interdimensional Communication. Even Lexie and Ophelia who were in their own World were included in it. I spared no details and let them know my current stand.

Also, I looked at Yse and used the crystal to also ask for her opinion.

She has the Eye of Destiny. She can at least provide us an insight on this.

Five minutes later, my Companions sent their answers back to me and Yse gave her opinion.

It was a unanimous decision among my Companions. Of course, I told them not to answer simply like they'll follow what I decided to choose.

They agreed to the Eye's proposition.

As for Yse, she told me to simply be careful since regardless of my choice, the fate between me and the woman seemed to be unchangeable.

Haa...

I guess, it's about time to conclude this.

"Alright. I won't kill her. I will bring her back with us. However, I will cripple her current cultivation. I will wipe her memories and her identity as Olive, Serpent Sentinel of the Overworld Serpent. I will give her a new identity to live in and I will see to it that she'll be back to her peak as soon as possible. I'll have her take an Oath to never betray us whether directly or indirectly. Likewise, I will also take an Oath to never harm her as long as she doesn't turn her sword against us..."

I paused at this point as I planned to add another condition.

"Additionally, My Avatar will live with her until she reaches Rank 2 Transcendent. It will guide her up to that point before she can join us out here. If you agree to that, I will immediately put her in a shackle and leave this World."

As I finished that proposal, I looked up at the World's Will incarnation.

Assuming that I was calling for its assistance in sealing this negotiation, it immediately made a move as it attempted to fly closer.

However before it could approach us, I waved my hand, tearing it to shreds.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

"You get it, right? It can be bad for you since the World's Will here is too weak to oversee this. But I promise you. I will settle the end of this agreement to the best of my abilities."
