She lowers her guard, snapping her fingers to clear the smoke billowing around her, intending to relive her theatrical entrance when her scythe caught fire. "It's been a long time since I've been summoned, and I never expected the Seven Wonders to summon me after I resigned from my position."

Yashiro moved up close to the girl, carefully inspecting her legs, which were streaked with black veins. "U-Uhm..." The girl gave Yashiro a glare before lowering down to her level and looking at her intently.

"You're the one who posed that absurd question. Are you so desperate and self-centered in your search for a significant other?" As Yashiro bellows, Y/n says directly, "A-At least put it in a way where it wouldn't offend me!"

"But I only talk with absolute honesty, even brutally so. I'm not sure why you've summoned me, but one thing's for certain." Y/n frowned and crossed her arms as she began to speak. "You are self-centered." She adds coldly, Yashiro felt herself crumble with each insult as Kou seized her in his arms.

"Aren't you a bit rude?!"

"Ah yes. The Minamoto Clan's solitary second son." Y/n pointed to the boy with blonde hair and turned to face him. "You are weak. You can't be an exorcist if your brother has already played the part. Even handling that staff would leave you with red scars and bruises." She says this as she grabs Kou's wrist firmly, causing him to wince.

"Aww! Still cruel as ever, Second." Hanako hummed as he drifted across her, his arms wrapped around the female's shoulder, she sighed and turned an eye. "Hanako. You better have a good reason for calling me, or I'll devour every single one of these high students."

Hanako clamped a palm over Y/n's mouth causing Kou and Yashiro to shriek. "Come on guys! She didn't mean that!"

"I did."
"Perhaps."

Yashiro's cheeks flushed scarlet as he traced his thin fingers down to the female's shoulders as the female stood motionless with a sigh. "I took your yorishiro, right?~" Hanako says as she nodded. "That's correct, No.7."

"I'd want to put you to work rather than keep you waiting any longer; are you willing?" He purred as she shrugged and slanted her eyes, before seizing Hanako's wrists and placing them in her palms. "Yes, I'd be willing."

"Hmmm. Lemme think." Hanako thinks as she stared blankly, her eyes dropping down to the paper that was used to summon her as she viewed the Japanese characters written down, she rips apart the paper as Yashiro shrieks and held onto her hands. "What do you think you're doing, moron?" Y/n comments coldly as Yashiro maintains her position.

"Y-You can't be doing that! What if you disappear after we just summoned you?"
"Correction. Number Seven summoned me."

"Besides, my existence is limited to the confines of the institution. I can only move around this school's ancient building since the yorishiro have deprived me of my powers." She says as Yashiro's shoulders slumped, "What...do you mean?"

As Yashiro and Kou freaked out, she turned to Yashiro and raised her palms to flames, burning the summoning paper. "Hanako stated that I was an...old student at this school. That is correct, but what he did not disclose was..." She began as Hanako approached her and laid his hands on her shoulders.

"I used to be Hanako's senior." As Kou and Yashiro scream, she responds, "But...How do you-"

"Remember? That's how they handle my rumor. The Kokkuri Game is viewed as divination for others just to respond to them; it is utilized as a fortune teller, similar to how psychics are employed." She replied as her fox tail swayed, "Hanako died later, shortly before I died, so I'm a few years older than he is right now."

Kou began counting his fingers to try to figure out Y/n and Hanako's ages while his face became dull, causing Hanako to conceal a snort of laughter. "I died at the age of fifteen, whereas Hanako died at the age of thirteen."

"I'm sure you know that by Sensei Tsuchigomori by the 4 PM Bookstacks." She says, "... Aren't you basically the same if Spider-face desires information from us despite the fact that he already knows everything?" Kou pursed his lips as Y/n groaned harshly and shook her head.

"I thought I explained it, and now I have to explain it again? You don't actually pay attention, do you?" She scowled as Kou hung his mouth wide in disbelief. "Tsuchigomori desires information since he is your homeroom teacher, and I have the requisite knowledge from the Near and Far Shore. Time of birth, birthday, first love, and breakup."

"Even your initial death date in years." She replies as Kou pulls his hand back till the silent Yashiro, who has been thinking the entire time, chooses to speak out. "Then...how did you die?" Yashiro inquires as Y/n turns to Hanako, who nods with a smile.

"Curiosity kills the cat, Yashiro!~ Are you sure you want to be in Kokkuri-san's realm of Twilight Divinity?" Hanako took a step back and hummed. "I-I can? But, Kokkuri isn't one of the Seven Wonders of the school like you said! How's that possible?"

"Yashiro, she just said that! Kokkuri-san is viewed as the definitive solution to anyone's issues, which is accurate in fact. Her power is to create gateways to other multiverses; but, if she was still a Wonder, her ability to create a doorway whenever she wants is boundless!"

"I can create a portal for you to see my history, but don't anticipate too much, and don't intervene with most of the people that emerge. Have only interaction with myself and Hanako's prior selves." Y/n says as Yashiro hesitantly nodded, "I'm coming too!" Kou asserts grudgingly as Y/n rests a finger on his brow, essentially halting him.

"Exorcists are not allowed to enter the Dimension of the Twilight Divinity, and the only way out is to die as a human and rebirth as an apparition." As Yashiro became pale at the explanation, she threatened. "As a condition, you must remain here for a brief period of time while Yashiro roams."

"Yashiro has the ability to destroy yorishiros, thus if she does not achieve her specific purpose in the universe, you are condemned to be locked there for eternity." Yashiro's lower lip quivered at her explanation as she shook. "Y-You're joking right?"

"I speak the brutal and honest truth only."
"Be careful, my assistant!~"

"Head to the old building at midday, and I'll generate a gateway for you. The entrance will shut its gates when nightfall strikes. Do I explain myself clear?" Y/n speaks strongly as Yashiro stands upright and nods forcefully, "Y-Yes!"

"Good. Then, around four o'clock in the afternoon, you all convene at the building."
