Chapter 55：Support Professional System (1/2)

”Dai-kun, you're back!”

Yuko's face lit up upon seeing me. And like always, she dropped the character she always wore in front of her classmates as she lunged herself towards me.

It's just less than 2 weeks but she grew more beautiful. Err… it could be just me missing her but yeah, compared to the others who were somehow linked to me, Yuko is different. I could really feel how much I'm attracted to her.

I caught her in my arms and even with two pairs of eyes watching us, we savored that moment. I got the urge to kiss her but yeah, let's leave it for later.

”Uhm. Welcome back, Daisuke-kun.”

Since we're already acquainted with each other, Yumiko also greeted me after she saw us separate from each other.

Compared to Yuko who exudes elegance, Yumiko could be said to have a girl-next-door appearance. She's someone you will want to be childhood friends with. With her long brown hair, adorned by a simple hairband. Since everyone was in leagues of their own, only her height is lacking, you couldn't call her petite for her age but yeah, you'll want to protect her or watch her clumsily cook for you with an apron on.

”Thank you. I was informed by the Principal, it seems the next world will be yours. Did this originate from there?”

Though it's obviously her Otherworld, I still asked just for the sake of the conversation.

”Un. I got notified by those who are helping me about this. Erm... One of the fixed Portals I am using was uncovered by the enemies. They built their own fortress there while trying to open it forcefully.”

Yumiko's expression was downcast, it's like she was blaming herself for what happened.

She then explained the process they uncovered. Looks like the other side can communicate with her quite well even if they're worlds apart.

Yuko could only receive simple messages from The World.

”Did something happen while I'm away?”

The Principal interjected as he observed the crack in space.

”It's mending by itself but after a while, it will go back to the same state.”

Yuko explained to her father. Usually, you'll only see this kind of crack in space on a screen. Generated effect for a movie. But looking at it right now, it's somewhat dreadful, like if that opened, how many will be implicated?

”That means our world isn't that easy to be breached but we shouldn't be conceited, a tiny crack can break anything so we need to act fast and close the breach from that side.”

The Principal mulled for a bit before talking about his conclusion from their observation during the time they were here.

I still don't know about that world but we were already given a task to attack a fortress. What should I say? I'm amazed?

I wonder what Yumiko's ability is? Is it as overpowered as Yuko and Raiden's ability?

This place was closed off by the military, looks like the Principal already informed the government about this and maybe they already came to an understanding not to let this matter reach the ears of the public.

I'm sure the Principal made a lot of deals with them and with his power, he wouldn't be wrung dry by the government who will surely try to acquire power for the country or themselves.

”You two can go and take a rest. I'll bring someone to stand guard here in your place. And Yumiko-chan should prepare for the summon as well as informing Daisuke about your Otherworld and your ability.”

After saying those words, the Principal opened another portal that would send us back to his office. This ability of his is one of the things I find mysterious. Could it be he's also someone who stepped foot in an Otherworld? His Clairvoyance couldn't explain why he had that Bind and Portal he could freely use here on Earth.

When we went back to my dorm room, Yuko immediately prepared a meal for us. She's really like a housewife now who's welcoming her husband back from a long trip.
