Side Stories XI— The 'Bullies'

"Shiki!" Yuuta called out of nowhere. "Wait, Ashuril? Lorraine? Is that you? What are you doing here?" He asked, out of confusion.

"Ah, Yuuta!" Ashuril almost squealed in happiness as he saw Yuuta in the flesh. He didn't know how to react so he just grabbed Yuuta's hands and shook it vigorously. After doing so, he awkwardly withdrew his hands, bashfully looking down as he realized that everyone was looking at him. As for Lorraine, she just calmly waved her hands and smiled at Yuuta like a princess. She didn't want to be all over Yuuta since they weren't that close in the first place. Of course, she obviously admires Yuuta but she's not open about it.

"What are you two doing here?" Yuuta asked for the second time, wondering how they got to Earth when they didn't have Minths with them. "Did anyone take you here? That's weird... why would you be here? Is something wrong in the World of Lucid? Do you need my help, by any chance?"
