Salutations! My thanks for people who decided to read this second chapter!

Nothing much to say though, except for the fact that this chapter is also an updated version of the original Chapter 2, "Reunion Between Time and Fate"

"What's wrong, Shido? You look like a treasure hunter."

"Concern. What are you looking for, Shido?"

Kaguya and Yuzuru said, respectively. Tohka and Origami too, appeared concerned.

The blue-haired boy didn't reply. He was deep in thought, concentrating to the music playing on the background.

"They can't hear it, but I can. That means... it must be a Spirit's doing!"

Shido was convinced of it. His experience with the Angel of Sound, [Gabriel] (Army-Breaking Songstress), led him to that conclusion.

Gabriel's music was intense, trying to erode into the very core of his mind. This on the other hand was calm, and made his heart warm.

This music had a different feeling into it, but they were similar.

He could feel it affecting him, even if it had no effect because of his Spirit powers.

That meant it was supernatural in nature, and likely caused by a Spirit.

"But Kotori didn't inform me anything..."

It was in these kinds of times he wanted to kick himself for not bringing the communicator with him.

Thinking of an alternative, Shido then pulled out his phone, trying to contact his sister.

"...Huh? It's not working?"

Shido glanced again at his phone's screen. Kotori couldn't be contacted.

He tried again with Murasame Reine's number, but the result was the same.

"Could it be that [Ratatoskr] is under some sort of maintenance today?"

It made sense, considering the BSOD their television had this morning.

Just as he was about to continue looking around however, all of a sudden an uncomfortable feeling assaulted his whole body.

"Ugh!"

He felt the air around him thickened, and the surroundings were darkened for no reason at all.

It took him a few seconds to realize what was happening.

"Th-this is...!"

Shido's eyes widened as he understood what happened.

There was only one thing he knew that could cause this.

Worried, Shido glanced at the girls behind him for confirmation.

"Ah...!" Kaguya moaned.

"Discomfort. Yuzuru feels... weak..." Yuzuru said weakly.

Tohka and Origami were no better, but even still, the two obeyed Shido's orders and didn't make a sound.

There was no mistaking it.

"Kurumi's... [City of Devouring Time]!"

"Are you an idiot?"

Kurumi said as she raised a hand, commanding her City of Devouring Time to envelope everything in her sight with darkness.
