“Quick!” You ran, even more, faster to the said location opening the door you were greeted by a dirty blond man with green-colored eyes, with a devil-like horn hair accessory. “Paimon, Traveler and..?” You handed over the unconscious lady to him as you staggered on the floor due to exhaustion. “What happened!? I heard the traveler—” A maiden opened the door but immediately stood up when she saw the scene in front of her, Thoma carrying the traveler and a woman was on the ground and Paimon trying to comfort her.

“So the thing is this girl was the 100th vision holder that was vision supposed to be seized today and traveler helped her and then the Raiden Shogun was mad and sucked her into a black big ball and then when the ball return to the normal traveler was unconscious! It's truly a great thing that this lady saved us!” Paimon explained in panic, You tried to stand up but as you did you felt dizzy, luckily for you the woman in the back supported you.

“Ugh.. my head is spinning..” You mumbled, You also felt hot the wig was starting to annoy you, but you can't take it off. “Best if you tell her that she must be careful from now.” You said, turning your heel unexpectedly you saw the person you didn't meet for years again, Ayaka, she seemed shocked as you. “You—” Ayaka managed to say. You lowered your head preparing to left the teahouse but Ayaka managed to grab your arms. “You're Y/N.. right?!” You stared at her.

A tear fell off your eye.

You're crying? For a reason?

Because someone recognized you for who you are rather than assuming you for your sister? “Y/N?” Ayaka asked again, After avoiding them for so many years on this day you saw them again... “Are you alive Y/N? And my eyes don't deceive me?” Ayaka held your face as she gave you a tight hug. You couldn't say anything.

“Ayaka.. why are you crying? Don't tell me you still haven't changed yet, All these years?” You spoke, Thoma was taken back as his lady was crying into the unknown woman's embrace and the woman was only comforting her through caressing her hair and humming. “I thought you were gone...” You smiled at her, “Everything is complicated, Ayaka.”

“Tell me! Please Y/N, Tell me!” You gave her a sigh. “Well..” You explained all the details to her from your father abandoning you to the current situation, “I see, so you are acquainted with the Resistance already..” You nodded at her. “Then in that case you two could go to Watatsumi Together, Traveler you can go to the resistance and join forces with them.” You thought for a moment, Ayaka had explained that she was a renowned traveler that was going on for her deeds in both city of contracts and freedom. Kokomi and Gorou could use up her strength and then maybe.. a slight chance of survival for the resistance.

“I see, I will bring the traveler with me to Watatsumi Island.” You said at her, Ayaka nodded. “Ayaka. You cannot tell anyone about my appearance, keep it if you must.” Ayaka nodded sadly. “Yes, Y/N. You three be careful.”

“We'll leave when the traveler is now okay.”

You smiled at ayaka. “It's been a long time since we saw each other, I'm glad that you were fine.” You said Ayaka was still hugging you. “However now is not the great time for us to reunite, Ayaka.” She nodded, “I understand Y/N... You and traveler be safe.”

When the traveler regained some consciousness the two of you have gone to Watatsumi Island, The resistance was delighted to see you yet were skeptical about the Traveler you calmed them down. “Where is General Gorou?” The resistance soldier came and brought the two to Gorou. “Y/N? What are you doing here and who is this?” You gave him a sigh. “Gorou, This is the traveler we.. are wanted and the shogunate is hunting for us.”

Gorou gave you a look before opening his mouth, “What happened?! Why were you wanted?!” He asked you, “We caused a disturbance at the vision hunt decree, and the person whose vision was supposed to be seized by me, The traveler just happened to stop it and now we're here.” Gorou rubbed his temples. “You were reckless, Y/N!” You only gave him an awkward chuckle. “Fine, Traveler was it? Welcome to the resistance I am General Gorou of the Resistance.” You smiled.

“Y/N you stay here,” Gorou instructed you but you shook your head. “Gorou.”

“I will join the Resistance.” The resistance soldier became silent, and Gorou was also at a loss for words. “Y/N it's too dangerous! You can't!” You glared at him. “Gorou, I am not a little girl anymore. If Kokomi can fight then I can too.” Gorou only bit his lip. “Tsk! Do what you want.” Gorou turned his heel, traveler following him you only gave a scoff as you walked towards the watatsumi island's shrine where Kokomi is currently at. “Y/N?! Are you okay!? I heard you almost got your vision seized!?” You nodded.

“I'm fine. But Kokomi..”

“What is it?” The priestess said, “Let me join the Resistance.” You said in a serious tone, Kokomi smiled. “You're finally joining? What made you change your mind?” a sudden picture came to your mind which made you flush, you covered your mouth. How can it be him?!

“Nothing, based on what happened today... I think I still need this vision for a little longer.” You remembered the thugs you encountered earlier. Kokomi smiled, “You know you were always a part of the resistance, Y/N. Welcome Colonel Y/N.”

The shrine maiden and few resistance soldiers gave you a warm welcome, and kokomi gave you a uniform just in case you wanted to change into it. “Not good! Your excellency a war is happening currently! General Gorou and the traveler is there the shogunate's representative is Kujou Sara herself!”

Kokomi's face frowned as well as yours, “Y/N are you going there yourself?!” Kokomi asked you nodded you took off the wig you were wearing as you tied your hair in a ponytail fixing your attire, fixing your mask. “I need to.”

“I'm coming with you,” Kokomi said you nodded. When you get into the place the shogunate and the resistance were clashing their blades against each other, A shogunate soldier attacked you but you dodged it, Infusing your polearm with electro and attacking him.

You clicked your tongue a bunch of soldiers was trying to take you, but the traveler helped you by sending a blade like an attack again making the soldiers fall to the ground. “Thank you.” You smiled at the traveler, and just as then, you saw a person trying to attack the traveler behind you blocked his attack with your polearm as you kicked him hard that he fell to the ground. The soldiers were weakening, you were worried. “Soldiers, with me!” You exclaimed. Unexpectedly you saw a familiar man in front of you.

“Y/N?” You saw a familiar face. “Huh—?”

“Kazuha!” Gorou exclaimed feeling delighted to see someone familiar. “Kazuha?” you said, you were distracted that you let go of your polearm. Kazuha grabbed your hands as he sent an attack to the enemy from your back protecting you. “Y/N is it you?”

“The wait is over my comrades, Now is our moment!” Your eyes widened, Kokomi was already here you backed away as you grab your polearm on the ground. “I—”

You saw the opposing team retreating which made you relieved. “All forces, retreat!” The resistance cheered on as they saw the shogunate retreat, You smile unknowingly. “Y/N! Are you hurt?” A Worried Gorou asked. Kazuha's eyes widened as he grabs your hand. “Y/N?”

Today, was an interesting day. You met some people you haven't met in years. How ironic is that?
