Chapter 267

Miku Izayoi lowered her head to look at the comic book in her hand, then raised her head again, dumbfounded.

It wasn't just similar, it was exactly the same. The clothes, demeanor, and temperament all gave her the same feeling as in the comics.

After being stunned for a few seconds, her heart filled with surprise. Had she summoned the savior from the comics?

Miku Izayoi was so excited that she wanted to get out of bed. She opened her mouth to say something, but all that came out was, "Ahhh." She couldn't express her thoughts. Just one simple word—hello—and she couldn't even say it.

Her expression gradually turned anxious. Those silver-purple eyes were full of a desperate plea: "Please help me."

"Don't worry," Takamiya said, his voice gentle. "Since I am here, I will help you." He walked over to her and slowly sat on the edge of the bed.

Androphobia? In front of him, no one could feel disgusted or afraid of him.

Miku Izayoi looked at the young savior who sat beside her. She still felt nervous, but with this unprecedented warmth, all the negative emotions in her heart seemed to melt away.

She was a little dazed. Just like in the comics, as long as he was there, all her fears disappeared.

Did he come to her because she prayed to him just now?

Coming back to her senses, her heart felt warm again. He truly was worthy of being the perfect creator from another world, so gentle.

Miku Izayoi opened her mouth, her eyes full of expectation. According to the comics, the creator of another world was omnipotent. Even without her speaking, he could hear her voice and understand her thoughts.

She pointed to her mouth shyly, then looked into his eyes, praying silently.

To her, losing her voice was worse than losing her life. She was a girl who had nothing but her voice.

Takamiya pretended to be surprised. "Oh, did you ask me to kiss you right away?"

Miku Izayoi was stunned: "..."

Takamiya chuckled. "Haha, don't worry. I just wanted to lighten the mood a little. Although I enjoy teasing, I won't take advantage of you." He looked at Miku Izayoi's anxious expression and continued, "You want your voice back, right?"

Miku Izayoi nodded excitedly.

"When I came to you, I heard your prayers loud and clear." He then looked at the comic book in her arms.

"You've read the comic book, haven't you?"

Yuzuru didn't fully understand what Takamiya was getting at, but she nodded.

"The story describes my purpose, right?"

Yuzuru continued to nod.

The creator from another world had come to this world to find the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life.' There were eleven people in this world who could adapt to a Kabbalah 'Spiritual Crystal' and become a Spirit—individuals who would later follow the creator to the universe of his own making.

Miku Izayoi wasn't clueless. She blinked twice, her eyes widening slightly, then pointed to herself.

Takamiya's gentle voice comforted her. "Yes, Yuzuru, you are one of them."

At that moment, a purple 'spiritual crystal' appeared in his hand, which he offered to her.

"Do you want to leave with me?"

Miku Izayoi was stunned. She was an adaptor for the 'spiritual crystal'—someone the creator was searching for.

She had read the comics and knew what this meant. This was an "eternal" contract. Spirits were also angels—angels who followed the Creator. This kind of contract was almost like a 'marriage' contract, as they would be together until the end of the universe.

When she read the comics, she had imagined herself becoming an 'elf.' After all, Spirit had eternal beauty, eternal life, and great power, which could easily free her from her current predicament.

Unexpectedly, she was the one the creator was looking for.

Miku Izayoi looked at the young man with a gentle aura and shyly reached out her hand. A dazzling light filled the ward.

The hospital gown she wore quickly transformed into a 'gown of light,' its lace-like strips radiating under the illumination. Miku Izayoi felt an unprecedented power coursing through her, everything she could do now was presented in her mind.

Her uncomfortable throat and the vicious words of fans that had haunted her like demons were all purified in that moment.

She looked down at her hands, then touched the spiritual equipment on her body. She looked at Takamiya and blinked with a cute expression.

Takamiya was amused by her expression. "Why are you looking at me like that? Your voice has recovered, right? Let me hear it."

Miku Izayoi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened her mouth.

"Right..."

A sweet and melodious voice sounded in the ward, and Takamiya felt as if he had tasted the sweetness of milk candy.

Miku Izayoi covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief and joy.

"I... my voice..." She had been unable to speak for a year, and the sudden return of her voice made her fearful of using it.

"It truly sounds beautiful. I can confidently say it's the best sound I've ever heard," Takamiya said happily. Despite having heard the voices of many goddesses, none compared to Miku Izayoi's—even if just by one point.

Miku Izayoi scored a perfect 100, and even a single point less felt significant.

"I... I can speak... and... and my voice... my voice is better than before!"

Miku Izayoi carefully tried to pronounce the words, and hearing her own voice brought her to tears. After enduring abuse and harsh words from the world outside for a year, all the pent-up emotions burst out at once.

"Ah... wuwu... why is this... I should be happy, but... I..."

She wiped the corners of her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears fell. Her beautiful face soon became streaked with tears, and she quickly covered it with her hands, worried about how she looked to Takamiya.

"I won't laugh at you," Takamiya said softly, touching her head gently. His voice was full of tenderness.

"Let out all your grievances. There's nothing wrong with crying. If you need to be alone to let it all out, I can leave."

Miku Izayoi quickly grabbed the hand that was stroking her head with both of hers. Tears were still falling as she anxiously prayed, "No, don't go, please. Just stay with me for a while, okay?"
