Chapter 34 : Summon the Champion
Yuki didn't think much about the chat.
He had many things to do, after all.
Although Yuno was very unstable, he had dealt with such a woman in his past life. It's very challenging but manageable.
In fact, thinking about that woman brought a touch of sadness to Yuki's eyes.
Yuki didn't know if he loved this woman or not, but he couldn't help but be touched by her; she was his downfall, after all.
She gave her life for him, and for her, they killed him.
Trading one life for another, that's why he didn't regret dying. He thought he deserved it, and that day was inevitable.
Dying for a woman is not a bad death. Yuki may not have loved her, but he didn't hate her either. However, that woman loved him madly.
That's why Yuki sympathizes a lot with Yuno.
(At least I'll give you happiness.)
Making a promise, Yuki looked at Yuno's private messages and smiled.
*Beep
"Hm?"
Looking at the floating screen, a private message was sent to him. Yuki sighed a bit, thinking it was from Yuno.
She was the one who sent him the most messages, followed by Yami, who, for some reason, kept asking for Taiyaki. Yuki had a problem with that.
He didn't sell Taiyaki in Konoha, and he hadn't even invented it yet. With no other option, he had to cook it himself.
Fortunately, it wasn't difficult to cook, but it was also troublesome at the same time. After all, Tsunade and Shizune found out, and now he had to cook for three hungry stomachs.
Since then, it became a routine for Yuki to cook Taiyaki three times a week.
And, of course, Yami was his first customer for it.
However, he was surprised by who sent the message.
"Inori Yuzuhira: Yuki"
This was the first time Inori had sent him a private message.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): What's up, Inori? It's rare for you to send me a message."
"Inori Yuzuhira: Please, help me... I need your strength."
Staring at the floating screen for a moment, Yuki wrote.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion):.... I understand. Get ready for the summoning."
"Inori Yuzuhira: I'm ready."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Alright, I'll be there in 10 seconds."
Yuki could sense the lack of will in Inori's messages, as if something very important was happening in her world.
Quickly opening the toolbar, Yuki sighed in relief.
Fortunately for him, the world he inhabited would freeze its time, but that wouldn't happen in other worlds. In Mikoto's world and the other members' worlds, time would continue to move at the set pace.
Sighing in relief, it would be troublesome if he disappeared from Konoha for too long. After all, he was the captain.
Manipulating the time in Yuno's world, Yuki set the speed to 1:200. He didn't want to break his promise to visit her world. He knew Yuno would go crazy if he lied to her.
Quickly equipping his Anbu gear, Yuki prepared what was necessary for Inori's world—a world with advanced technology. It was very troublesome but also very exciting. Yuki didn't know where he would be summoned, but he had to be prepared for anything.
Putting everything in his backpack and wearing his standard Anbu battle suit, Yuki also brought his mask. After all, he didn't want to reveal his identity in that futuristic world, with cameras being so annoying; locating him would be very easy.
"Alright, all set."
Looking at the floating screen, a wheel started to spin.
[Inori Yuzuhira is inviting you to her world. Do you want to accept? [Yes] [No]]
With a mental command, Yuki pressed [Yes].
[Champion summoning initiation... 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1]
Light enveloped Yuki's body, and he disappeared from his room.

"Inori Yuzuhira: Yuki"
Looking for a brief moment at the floating screen, Inori was running.
*Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
"Kya?!"
*Bam
A giant slid behind her, firing multiple bullets. It was a giant robot about 5 meters tall.
Endlave. It was a humanoid combat machine controlled by pilots through the mind.
"Ha, ha."
Breathing heavily, Inori had fallen to the ground. She held a small glass cylinder tightly, fearing to damage it.
This was the Void Genoma. She had stolen this genetic weapon. It was very valuable and also fragile.
Blood was coming from her arm; she had been injured.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): What's up, Inori? It's rare for you to send me a message."
"Inori Yuzuhira: Please, help me... I need your strength."
Slowly getting up, Inori held the genetic weapon in her arms. Activating her suit, she became invisible. However, her arm was still bleeding; bloodstains fell to the ground.
Walking with difficulty, Inori disappeared into the night.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion):.... I understand. Get ready for the summoning."
"Inori Yuzuhira: I'm ready."
Running, Inori had reached a floating bridge.
A small robot approached her; it was white and had four legs.
"Please, Funell, give this to Gai."
Opening the small robot, there was a small special space inside.
Inserting the genetic weapon, Inori prepared to escape. However.
*Bang
An Endlave had followed her, locating its target; the giant robot fired.
Embracing the small robot, Inori used her own body to protect the weapon. However, the Endlave had only cut off her escape route.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Alright, I'll be there in 10 seconds."
[Do you want to summon the Champion? [Yes] [No]]
Without wasting time, Inori mentally clicked on [Yes].
[Preparing Champion Summon 10...]
Seeing that his shot had cut off the escape route, the combat Endlave slid and prepared to capture its target, but not before encountering something invisible.
*Bam
The camouflage dissolved, revealing another Endlave; this one was gray. Both Endlaves clashed with their metallic claws.
"I've got you covered! Take him to Gai, quickly!"
Said the Gray Endlave, turning its head; red eyes glowed in the darkness.
[7, 6, 5]
"Come on, Funell."
Looking at the floating screen with the countdown, Inori gritted her teeth while running. She was close to completing her mission.
*Click
"Damn!"
However, seeing her target flee, the combat Endlave wouldn't stand idly by, activating missiles, it ruthlessly fired.
*Bom, Bom
"Kya!"
Inori, who was running, was hit by the missiles. The impact force made her small body fly.
With small spins, her body fell from the bridge.
[3, 2, 1]
With open eyes, she watched as the bridge drifted farther away from her, but a small flicker of light blinked.
[The Champion has been successfully summoned.]
Closing her eyes due to the light, Inori opened them, but she was surprised.
Her body was still falling, but now it was held by a masked figure.
"At last, we meet, Inori Yuzuhira."

Author's Note: Before you continue with this, I'll clarify some things.
I believe that in a story, the protagonist makes the story, not the other way around. Therefore,
In this volume.
THE CANON IS DEAD.
If you want to experience Guilty Crown in its original story, I advise you to watch the anime.
