[303] A New Stand

"Kurokawa, can you go and drop Shiki off?"

After finishing breakfast, the head of the tyougi family spoke to Kazuya: "You came by car, right? It's raining outside, so why don't you drop Shiki off today?"

"Yeah, sure."

Kazuya nodded and slowly stood up: "Great, I was planning to do that. Shiki, is there anything else to tidy up?"

"No, nothing." Shiki shook her head: "It's fine like this."

Watching the two leaving, the head of the ryougi family sighed slightly: "Forget it, there's no need to rush. There's plenty of time. We can talk about it next time."

...

"Still haven't decided? Any place you want to go..."

Looking at Shiki sitting beside him, Kazuya closed the car door and asked.

"Well... I don't know why, but I don't have any particular plans."

"Is that so... How about a parallel world? Interested?"

"Huh? A parallel world?" Shiki blinked slightly. "Is it really possible? I mean, can we do that?"

"Yeah, we can. It's possible," Kazuya nodded. "But there are some risks. For example, you can't touch your counterpart in the parallel world, not even the clothes. For instance, if you touch the same piece of clothing in the parallel world as the one you're wearing now, it will vanish. Even your body will suffer significant damage. If the same person touches each other... the result is complete annihilation."

Kazuya chuckled. "But aside from these risks, it's safe. We can go to the parallel world, change into the clothes of that world immediately, and as long as we don't touch our counterparts, it's safe. In other words... try to avoid going to the parallel world where another version of you resides."

"Is that so?" Shiki smiled lightly. "Hmm, if that's the case, I'm getting interested. What about you? Do you have a way to go to the parallel world? When can we go?"

"I don't know," Kazuya started the car, speaking while driving steadily. "It's just a possibility; we're not quite there yet for interdimensional travel. Maybe another month or a year... or perhaps two years? Anyway, it won't be long before I get this ability."

"Hmm, you could have mentioned this when it's more certain. You got my hopes up for nothing."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do. Traveling to a parallel world is not that simple. Just having the possibility is already great."

"Is that so... well, remember to take me along when the time comes—"

As they spoke, the car suddenly braked sharply.

"No, it's nothing. It seems like a few troublemakers looking for trouble."

Watching the individuals blocking the road and the others gathering around, Shiki furrowed her brows slightly. "Akitaka didn't educate them properly."

"Well, let it go. We don't need to pay attention to these small troubles." Kazuya smiled, rolling down the car window.

"Hehe, hey, you look pretty wealthy. How about giving us some money?"

"Move aside, don't block the way. Get out of the way," Kazuya said, and everyone, including the person in front of him, awkwardly moved aside and walked to the side. The road in front cleared up, and Kazuya, with Shiki by his side, restarted the engine, saying, "See, these people don't need attention. They're very obedient."

His mood was good.

He had taken A-level Magic Resistance in the morning.

Just now, his mystic eyes and suggestive magecraft were used quite effectively.

Using his mystic eyes to disperse everyone, then using suggestive magecraft to make them forget today's events...

Although he wore invisible glasses to hide his slightly different colored eyes, this thing was not a mystic eye killer. Although it still slightly reduced the effectiveness of the mystic eyes, it was not worth mentioning compared to the current level of his magic eyes.

Feeling good.

Just don't know if these people are mentally disabled or something; they dare to charge directly.

However, there are so many mentally disabled people in this world; he can't go asking each of them the reasons for their mental disabilities.

Just let it go.

...

Watching the departing car.

Not far away, Araya Souren was calculating, "I see, so the eye's ability is probably compulsive, and at the same time, it used suggestive magecraft? Not bad..."

Without a doubt, the manipulation of those troublemakers was orchestrated by Araya Souren.

To accurately calculate the combat power of Kurokawa Kazuya, he had already begun to gather information bit by bit.

However, it was just collecting information. Most of his preparations were for dealing with and avoiding suppression.

As for other details, he didn't intend to pay much attention. In other words, as long as Kurokawa Kazuya doesn't block the way, he won't go looking for trouble himself.

However... if that guy has too much free time.

Even Araya Souren would have to take action.

"In this case, it's almost the limit. If I really want to test his true strength, these ordinary people are far from enough. What I truly need are extraordinary individuals..."

Saying that, he slowly walked back.

The surrounding space seemed to engulf him like a body of water.

"Guide that person a bit, let him take action."

...

"Ah? What's this..." said a few people who had been let go by Kazuya, feeling somewhat puzzled. They couldn't recall why they came here or what brought them to this place...

"Is this... Mifune City?"

"Yeah, I remember the local yakuza should be the ryougi family, right? Let's go a bit further from here."

...

"Hmm... this strange feeling." After dropping Shiki off at school, Kazuya, sitting in the car, touched his chest with some surprise.

His heart was beating at a strange speed.

Something was about to awaken—

He felt the pull of someone in another parallel world... his sister in parallel world!

Something was about to manifest from his body.

Without a doubt!

It was the seed planted by his own ability, Reality Overwrite, used earlier!

Stands are influenced by various forces, and now, he felt the pull...

He could sense it! In a bizarre turn of events, his sister... Kurokawa Kazumi awakened a Stand ability! Consequently, his Stand ability also woke up—

Kazuya didn't go to the company; instead, he quickly returned home—

The next moment—

The door and the walls "compressed."

He... arrived in a parallel world—!!
