Who knows how long had passed, the environment where the two were entwined had changed from the original villa to a dark shadow space.
Time was still paused at this moment, but the crushed World Gem had directly stopped the time of the entire world. Although it didn't have much impact on Fujino, the stopped world wouldn't recover for at least an hour or two. Fortunately, Fujino could unpause it.
But before that, she still had to resolve the matters concerning Kurumi and Tokisaki Yume.
The future Kurumi had sent her consciousness back to the present, using little Kurumi's body, which meant that Fujino had just done 'that' with little Kurumi.
"Kurumi really gave me trouble," Fujino complained, but the matter still needed to be handled.
A few minutes later, the world resumed its rotation. After Fujino had appeased Ann and the others, she returned to Tokisaki Yume's villa.
Seeing Tokisaki Yume and little Kurumi excitedly using their acquired Spirit powers, completely unaware of any abnormality, Fujino breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that they hadn't noticed, but this matter still needed to be told to them, though not now, at least not until little Kurumi had fully grown up.
After saying a few words to Tokisaki Yume and little Kurumi, the gist was that Fujino was going somewhere else and asked if they wanted to come along.
Having gained Spirit power and a certain level of strength, Tokisaki Yume only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. According to Fujino, it was a different world with many interesting beings, and Tokisaki was quite curious about it.
With such mysterious Spirit powers, Tokisaki Yume had to admit she was a little excited. Every girl has some dreams in childhood, and becoming a Magical Girl is definitely the dream of most girls. Although Spirits are not Magical Girls, they feel much more powerful than those Magus, so Tokisaki Yume's mindset was subtly changing, beginning to pursue mysterious existences.
"In that case, let's go there tonight. She will teach you how to use your Angel." Fujino smiled. She had also told the two of them her identity. Since they were Spirits, there was nothing to hide.
"Little Kurumi, I'll be leaving now. Go find your sister later. I have some other things to do, so I won't go with you," Fujino said with a smile, stroking little Kurumi's head.
"Mhm, mhm." Little Kurumi nodded obediently, her adorable appearance making Fujino give her a big kiss on the cheek.
And Fujino didn't notice the deep shyness in little Kurumi's eyes when she kissed her.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."
Fujino waved her hand and instantly disappeared before the two of them.
