"Two?"

The young girl muttered to herself in surprise upon hearing the answer.

"Yes, during the spell's casting, it will replicate everything within its range."

"Replicate..."

"Meaning, in reality, there were two construction sites, one that actually existed and another that was a construction site in the alternate dimensional space created through replication. It's like the two sides of a coin, with the alternate dimensional space being the opposite side. The people on the opposite side can see those on the real side, but those on the real side cannot see those on the opposite side. And these two construction sites are almost overlapping."

"But it's strange that the damage occurred in the construction site in the alternate dimensional space, yet the real construction site is now in ruins."

"As I mentioned earlier, it's only to prevent damage to the surroundings during the battle, not afterwards. And in reality, only the construction site was damaged, not the surrounding buildings."

The young girl looked at the surrounding buildings and nodded.

"That's true."

"But why did the construction site get damaged?"

"As I said before, during the spellcasting, the construction site in reality gets replicated, and when it ends, the construction site in the alternate dimensional space gets returned to reality."

"So the damage gets returned as well."

"Yes, but other things seen in the alternate dimensional space are all illusions. It must rely on a certain physical presence; it cannot be completely illusionary."

"So that means in the alternate dimensional space, only the construction site is real, and everything else surrounding it is an illusion. That's why only the damage to the construction site gets restored, but not the surrounding things. After all, those surrounding things are just illusions. That's why we have the current situation, right? And the reason why complete damage avoidance is impossible is because it requires something physical. So in the end, no matter what, physical damage cannot be avoided."

Seeing that the young girl understood, the girl with long, dark hair smiled happily.

"That's right."

Although the girl with long, dark hair had a smile on her face, the young girl suddenly became dissatisfied.

"But it's still strange."

"Hmm? Where?"

At that moment, the girl with long, dark hair also showed a rare expression of embarrassment.

"Why did I not know anything even after spending so much time together, and..."

"And...?"

"There must be more than just this, right? How many unpublished Jujutsu Papers are still hidden, and... there's probably that too."

"That?"

Hearing this, the girl with long, dark hair's voice seemed slightly panicked, as if she had been caught off guard. After all, this was something she hadn't expected. And even though the young girl's words were vague, the girl with long, dark hair seemed to understand.

"Well... let's leave that for later. I'm a little tired today as well."

Saying that, the girl with long, dark hair pretended to yawn.

"Nonsense. You always stay up until dawn and it's still early now. How could you be tired? Besides, you just woke up, right?"

"Um..."

The girl with long, dark hair, caught off guard by the young girl's pointed question, fell silent.

"Geez, when we get back, Elder Sister really needs to explain things clearly to me."

"..."

Although there was no direct answer, the girl with long, dark hair did not explicitly refuse, so the young girl decided to temporarily avoid discussing this matter.

She could only express her concerns in a somewhat vague tone.

"Are we just going to leave it like this?"

Upon hearing this, the person quickly resumed their previous demeanor.

"Yes, there are more important things to do now because things have deviated slightly from what was expected."

The girl with long, dark hair narrowed her eyes slightly as she contemplated.

Meanwhile, the young girl turned to look at the girl with long, dark hair, waiting for her next response.

"Didn't expect Tsuchimikado Taehoku to get involved in this again. What could his purpose be this time? Anyway, for now, let's just observe the situation, no matter which side it is. The real game starts now."

The young girl nodded in agreement.

At that moment, the girl with long, dark hair ran her fingers through her long hair.

"Is it okay like this?"

Speaking some words with unclear meaning, the young girl smiled slightly with a pained expression.

"No, although it is indeed a bit painful, it's not the right time yet. We have already waited for two years, we can't... ruin everything because of a momentary impulse. If it were Brother, he would definitely not do that."

Then she raised her head and looked at the long-haired girl with a worried expression.

"Compared to me, isn't Sister the one in the most pain?"

"Sigh..."

The long-haired girl couldn't help but froze, and in the next moment, she murmured in a slightly melancholic tone.

"You've really grown up, becoming more and more like your brother."

Then, brushing away the earlier melancholy expression, she placed her hand on the young girl's shoulder and smiled.

"So, I'm counting on you again, my lovely little sister."

"Okay, Sister."

The young girl responded with a smile as well. Then, she focused her attention, and in the next instant, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
