Chapter 1264: The last-minute summon
Origami stood near the door in her pajama. She is looking at Wu Yan with a sharp glint in her eyes.
"Origami-san?"
Miku flinched in shock.
"Why are you here?!"
Origami ignored Miku. She reiterated her request after approaching Wu Yan.
"Count me in."
They returned to reality when Origami repeated her request. Wu Yan knitted his brows.
"You want to be summoned too?"
"Yes."
Origami nodded.
"I want to join you guys."

Wu Yan didn\'t hide his confusion.
"You overheard us?"
Wu Yan transmitted knowledge about his System and Summons to the spirits through memory sharing. However, to an outsider, it just looked like Wu Yan is holding hands with three spirits.
Only Miku, Kaguya, and Yuzuru should know about Wu Yan\'s offer.
"I don\'t know what you said about the System and Silvaria but you appear to be inviting these spirits to become your summons. Basically, after becoming your summons, they share their lives with you, right?"
"Yeah, I did say that."
Wu Yan mumbled.
"And, by joining us, you mean..."
"Yes..."
Origami looked at Wu Yan.
"I want to become your summon too."
Even the spirits found her eagerness odd.
"Do you understand the implications?"
Wu Yan rubbed his temple.
"It is not just the sharing of fate, you think this summoning system is the same as a contract or bondage?"
Origami asked.
"Is there a difference?"
Wu Yan choked.
From various aspects, the summon system did look like a very forceful contract.
Wu Yan shook away the weird thoughts in his head. He rolled his eyes.
"Look, if you do this, your life will be merged with mine, do you know what that means?"
"It means when I die, you will perish with me."
Wu Yan crossed his arms.
"Don\'t fool around, this is no joking matter."
"Really?"
Origami nodded. Just when Wu Yan thought she understood the gravity of this proposal, she repeated it once more.
"Then you have no problem adding me?"
"Hah?"
Wu Yan\'s jaw almost dropped.
"Did you not hear a single word I said?"
"Irrelevant."
Origami replied.
"I already agreed to follow you. Becoming your summon is just an extension of that resolve. Naturally, if you die then I should follow in death."
"Don\'t speak too soon."
Wu Yan sighed.
"Fine, grab my hand, maybe I can\'t convey my meaning well."
Origami grabbed his hand without objections.
The room flashed as he used magic to establish a mental link and transmit his memories into her head.
After that, Origami opened her eyes.
Wu Yan thought the magic had failed because Origami didn\'t seem like she was stunned or shocked by the reveal.
"System... transcript worlds... Silvaria... Huh, so that is what you were talking about?"
"Yeah..."
Wu Yan felt a bit tired.
"Now that you know, becoming my summon isn\'t just living and dying with me."
"Yes."
Origami interrupted Wu Yan before he can finish his sentence.
"I still want to become your summon."
"But why?"
Wu Yan is a bit frustrated with her.
"I know you want to express your gratitude but you know you don\'t have to do this, right?"
Wu Yan turned his stern gaze toward Origami.
"You have my memories. You know the Realizers are almost done. I am going to take the spirits with me. If you become my summon, you will have to come with me."
"Don\'t forget. Your parents and Shiori are still in this world, can you leave them behind?"
Origami\'s expression finally wavered.
She valued her parents above her own life.
With her parents back in her life, can she really leave her parents behind?
Plus, Shiori is still in this world.
Origami turned mum.
The spirits held their breaths. Wu Yan decided to let reality sink in, giving Origami one last chance to rethink her decision.
Origami clearly grappled with conflicting desires. However, she finally steeled up.
"I want in."
Wu Yan knew this was the final answer.
"You will return to this world again, right?"
Origami asked.
"This universe will go into stasis. I already lost my parents for five years. At least, this time, I know they are safe."
"Moreover, can you guarantee that you won\'t die in the other world?"
Origami asked.
"I will follow you and make sure of that."
"I..."
Origami had a point.
She also delivered her trump card.
"Realizers aren\'t as easy to use as just reading the manual."
Origami explained.
"My experience in operating various Realizers should be a superior skill addition to the team when compared with Kotori\'s limited understanding of certain realizers."
Wu Yan was sold. He can\'t find any rebuttal to use against her.
