I'm doing abstract animation

Akita became increasingly uneasy, its tail trembling like a sieve, and that strange feeling of being stared at returned!

"But that guy's lifestyle... I really envy it."

Yumiko Miura sighed: "He never cares about other people's opinions. In his eyes, there seems to be only one kind of people: acquaintances. Other people who are not familiar to him are like weeds on the roadside. He can laugh out loud at will and swear at will. There is absolutely nothing about him that can be associated with etiquette. You could say he is a complete bastard."

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

You fucking shut up! That terrifying gaze is numbing me, you bastard!

“But, despite being such a complete jerk, I really enjoy being with him.” Miura Yumiko paused for a moment, then continued, “With him, I don’t have to maintain my persona at all, and I don’t have to care about other people’s opinions. It’s so relaxing, so relaxing that I wonder if I’ve been infected by that jerk.”

"When I came here, he told me to not pretend and to face my own heart honestly."

"But... it's not that simple. I'm just a young girl. They make it sound so nice, but I'm stuck in this godforsaken place for months on end, with no friends, no family, and I have to be on guard against that perverted serial killer all the time..."

"I want to go home too. I miss my mom and dad, I miss my older brother and sister, I miss Hina Yui..."

"I'm afraid of thunder, and I'm afraid of the dark too..."

"I regret it... Waaah..."

Yumiko Miura buried her face in her knees and cried. She had been holding on all this time, and perhaps what kept her going was her last bit of stubbornness.

Now, a sudden downpour has shattered her last bit of stubbornness, exposing the fragility and helplessness in the girl's heart.

The rain gradually stopped, and the bright crescent moon slowly peeked out from the clouds, filling the entire mountain with a refreshing feeling after the rain.

"Let's go, we should go back."

Yumiko Miura let out a long sigh, wiped away her tears, and hugged Akita back into her arms.

Tears may flow, but life goes on.

That's what growing up is like: have a good cry, get drunk, and when you truly face your own heart, you've grown up quietly.

Akita, nestled in her arms, flailed about nervously, its mangy tail spinning rapidly, as if it sensed something.

Something is slowly awakening inside this strange girl's body...

Yuki silently withdrew her gaze, a smile appearing on her face.

Blank cards, though the most basic cards, can be considered the core of the entire card system.

Although he granted Miura Yumiko the right to use the cards, it was only the right to use them. To fully unleash the power of the blank cards, she would need certain qualifications.

Yumiko Miura now seems to have that qualification.

"It seems that the true awakening is just around the corner..."

Volume 1: Chapter 33 Something Big Has Happened, Yumiko

Boom!

The deafening thunder startled Kuroda out of bed.

It is going to rain?

He hesitated whether he should go out, unsure how to face Yumiko Miura.

Treating someone else as his own daughter is very impolite, and he's also quite thin-skinned. He'd break down and burst into tears on the spot... The thought of it now makes him want to disappear into the ground.

Boom!

A flash of white light appeared, followed by another deafening roar of thunder.

The sound of pattering rain began to reach Kuroda's ears.

He sighed, got up, and prepared to leave.

As soon as he opened the door, a torrent of rain, accompanied by a fierce wind, blew into his face.

"Such heavy rain?!"

Kuroda quickly closed the door behind him; it contained the fruits of his labor over the years, and he couldn't let the rain ruin it.

"That's why I told you not to bring that idiot up here!"

In the midst of the heavy wind and rain, Kuroda muttered a complaint under his breath.

He hates idiots, hates their stupidity, and most importantly, he hates idiots calling him "Dad."

His daughter was his Achilles' heel, and the fool's repeated calls of "Dad" seemed to be repeatedly jumping on that Achilles' heel.

He knew the idiot had mental problems, but what could he do?

Sagawa also has mental health issues, does that mean he should be treated specially?

Donning a raincoat, Kuroda slowly descended the mountain along the path.

Going down a mountain in the rain is a very dangerous thing. The road is already muddy and difficult to walk on, but now it's slippery with every step.

Kuroda's health wasn't very good; in fact, due to years of lack of exercise, his physique might not even be as good as Miura Yumiko's. Therefore, he walked very carefully, almost crouching down.

But an accident still happened. When he was crossing an intersection, he didn't notice that he stepped on a grass covered with mud. He suddenly felt his foot slip and he veered off course, sliding straight down the slope.

He was startled at first, then instinctively protected his head, letting his body slide down the mountain.

Fortunately, there were many trees on this mountain road, and he felt himself crash hard into a tree after sliding only a few meters.

"hiss……"

The intense pain made him gasp, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

The slope was very steep, and the rain was getting heavier. He dared not move, fearing that he would slide down again if he wasn't careful.

He clung tightly to the tree, his back burning with pain, looking utterly disheveled.

He felt his vision starting to blur, probably because rainwater had gotten into his eyes.

In his daze, he even felt that he might die here today.

"dad."

Suddenly, a silly voice rang out beside him.

Kuroda strained his eyes and, in the pouring rain, saw a tall figure appear beside him.

Is he an idiot?

Why is he here?

He felt himself being lifted up, like a kitten being grabbed by the scruff of the neck by fate.

The fool hoisted Kuroda onto his shoulder, then strode up the mountain with his long legs as if walking on flat ground, and in no time he had reached the top.

When Kuroda was put down by the idiot, he was still a little dazed. Was it really that easy?

Looking at the fool's grinning face, Kuroda fell silent. Sure enough, when God closes a door, he usually opens a window. This fool's body is just too abnormal.

"Alright, come in!"

He sighed and opened the door: "It's raining heavily outside. Miura went out to look for you, but she's probably taking shelter from the rain now. She should be back when the rain stops."

The fool didn't go inside; he stood at the door with his head down, seemingly rummaging through his clothes.

"Come in."

Kuroda frowned when he saw that he didn't move.

"Here you go, Dad won't be angry."

The fool took out a few fruits from his pocket and handed them to Kuroda.

Kuroda was stunned. He looked at the fruit in the fool's hand. It was a wild fruit unique to this area. It tasted very sweet, but its yield was extremely low, and the growing environment was extremely harsh, basically eliminating the possibility of making a fortune from it.

"The fruit is delicious, so Dad won't be angry."

The fool said something else, stuffed the wild fruit into Kuroda's arms, and then went inside.

Kuroda looked at the fruit in his hand, then at the idiot squatting obediently on the ground in the room, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Perhaps... I'm prejudiced against people who are stupid.

Just like those guys in the village.

Kuroda pursed his lips, put the fruit in his pocket, and turned to call out to the fool.

"Don't sit there, your sister made you some food... Let's eat together."

The heavy rain quickly passed, and Miura Yumiko returned to the mountaintop under the moonlight.

Before we even got close to the cabin, we could hear thunderous snoring.

"No way, with this heavy rain and me still outside, how could Kuroda sleep?!"

Listening to the loud snoring, she looked somewhat annoyed. "I'm the one cleaning up your mess, how can you sleep like that?!"

She angrily pushed open the door, but after seeing the scene inside, she quietly backed away and closed the door behind her.

"What? Weren't we getting along quite well...?"

..................................................................

"Yuki-kun."

Hayato Hayama called out to Osamu Yuuki, who was about to leave.

"what happened?"

Yuuki looked at the non-existent watch on her wrist with some impatience: "I'm telling you, don't delay my arcade game. I've already postponed it for days because of that. If you make sure I can't play arcade today, believe me, I'll just play you instead!"

Hayato Hayama's eye twitched, but before he could speak, his friend beside him spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"You bastard, who do you think you are, talking so arrogantly!"

The noise of school letting out suddenly fell silent as students stopped what they were doing and turned to look in their direction.

Watching a spectacle is human nature, especially since this transfer student, Yuuki Risa, is always so mysterious. Now he's having a conflict with the most popular and energetic group in the class... Ugh, I want to see a bloodbath!!

Hina Ebina pushed up her glasses, carefully stood up from her seat, and prepared to avoid this battlefield that could break out at any moment.

'Damn it, couldn't you find somewhere else to fight?'

Yuuki Osamu narrowed his eyes and looked at the blond-haired second guy next to Hayama: "And who the hell are you?!"

Hubu Xiang: "..."

Dude, am I really that invisible? You can't even remember my name?!

He was somewhat hurt and wanted to explain: "I..."

"Get out of my way! I don't have the habit of ignoring lowly henchmen. You, Number One Yellow Hair, talk to me!"

Small fry?

Yellow, Yellow Hair No. 1?

Tobe Sho and Hayama Hayato's faces began to twitch.

"Um, does 'Blonde Number One' refer to me?" Hayama Hayato forced a smile and pointed to himself.

Yuuki Osamu impatiently grabbed her hair: "Of course! If it wasn't you, then who was it? Mine is the blue-haired one!"

"..."

How arrogant! He actually admitted it outright, and he can call himself Blue Hair so naturally...

The onlookers couldn't help but twitch their lips; this guy was way too frank!

"So what do you want?" Yuki was getting more and more impatient. He really had no interest in talking to these Muggles. The main thing was that he had made up his mind to play arcade games today, and it seemed like another unexpected event was about to happen. How could he not be annoyed?

Yuihama went to see Yukinoshita and Fumi today. She was tasked with leading the two to the secret base and explaining the general setup, so she disappeared as soon as school was over.

Hayato Hayama scratched his face somewhat awkwardly: "Don't misunderstand, Yuuki-kun, I just wanted to ask where Yumiko went today..."

"Youlumei, it's nothing. She should be able to come to school tomorrow. Is there anything else?"

Yulemei...does that refer to Yumiko?

He actually knew!

Hayato Hayama and Sho Tobe exchanged a glance, both showing incredulous expressions. Even Hina Ebina, who was about to leave quietly, stopped and looked at the impatient transfer student seriously for the first time.
