Minato looked around at this new setting he was in, he felt both blown away and a bit out of place. This was one of the busiest places he had ever been in, which only left one question. Where to go from here? He knew that ringing of the city's name that was in his head had to be some kind of clue, but he had no idea what to he should do once he got there. "Wish my friends were here" he said out loud "Maybe if they were here they'd have some idea of what I should do." Minato stopped walking for a moment, he wondered if his friends were thinking about him too. "Now's not the time to think about that. I can worry about that later, right now I've got something else to do here" he said to himself as he continued to walk. Minato didn't know where to start, he just decided to look around the city and see if anything seemed out of the ordinary. He searched through the remainder of the day, but found absolutely nothing. Everything seemed normal here so far, crowded but normal. "Maybe the clue is at night" he thought to himself "Maybe I should continue the search tonight" but before he could do that his stomach let out a large growl. He then realized he hadn't had anything to eat since he was brought back to life, and he was starving. "Man, I could go for some ramen right now" he said imagining the ramen used to have 3 years ago. Minato didn't have enough yen to stay at a hotel tonight and he didn't have enough to get a bite to eat, so he had to sleep outside without eating once more. This time went to sleep instantly, like before he slept peacefully and was completely relaxed until a dream began to form. This one though, was not like before. This time the dream was more like a vision, like he could see himself as he watched what was happening before him. Minato was in a big blank space as he saw himself looking around. Suddenly someone appeared from the blank space in front of him, it was Ryoji. Minato ran up to him but Ryoji disappeared before he could say a word, Minato then heard a voice, two voices in fact, coming from behind him.
"We are here, now you are not alone." Minato turned around and saw that behind him were Yukari and Aigis standing side by side.
"Okay, my dreams begin to get weirder and weirder as I go along, last time I go to sleep with out eating" he joked to himself.
"One of us will make a choice, a choice that will change our destinies forever and one of us will be in danger, a danger you can prevent if you use the information you will get wisely" said the visions of Yukari and Aigis at the same time.
"I don't understand, what does that mean?" he asked, the two then disappeared and reappeared behind him once more.
"The void, the void holds the key to all your questions. Use those answers wisely; one wrong move could destroy your future" the two then disappeared as Minato felt something warm and wet wake up. Minato opened his eyes to see a dog was licking his face. The dog had white fur, red gentle eyes, and it was carrying a pouch on its back, it was an exact likeness of Koromaru.
"Well, you sure remind me of someone I used to know" Minato started to pet the dog's head. "Still that dream was weird, not like that last one but….still just weird." The dog shook its head getting the pouch off its back, it then pushed the package with its nose toward Minato, it seemed like it wanted Minato to open the pouch. "What do you have there?" he then opened the pouch to what was inside. There was another pouch within the first one, and next to it was a very familiar looking picture. It was the same picture all the members of SEES took after they thought they stopped the dark hour the first time, Minato looked at it for a bit then put in his pocket. He now realized the dog he had just encountered was actually Koromaru, the picture was proof of that. Koromaru looked bigger than the last time Minato saw him, he was now the size of a full grown Siberian husky. "Wow, you certainly grew while I was gone, huh Koro? Did you really come all the way out here just to find me?" Koromaru then jumped on Minato and began to lick his face. "I take that as a yes then." Minato opened the second pouch and couldn't believe his eyes. Inside the Pouch was his evoker, the exact same one from his days in SEES. "Wow, thanks Koro. One thing I don't understand though, how were you able to get my evoker? I gave it to Aigis before I died." Koromaru then barked twice and began to tug Minato's pant leg, gesturing to follow him. "Uh, okay lead the way." Minato got up put his evoker the pouch, put the pouch inside his jacket and then started to follow Koromaru. Koromaru lead him through many twists and turns throughout the city, until finally they reached a college building.
"Kobe University, so the thing you want me to see is somewhere here?" Minato said staring at the university. Koromaru barked getting Minato's attention and continued to lead him through the campus. They eventually got to a dorm building; the two ran inside as someone opened the door to get out. Koromaru led him up the stairs top the third floor and then down the hall, the dog finally stopped at a room at the end of the hall. "So right here then, right?" Minato asked before knocking on the door, it seemed koromaru led him to this dorm room for a specific reason, but what?
"Just a minute" a familiar voice rang, the door opened and on the other side of the door was a girl, about three years older than Minato. She had long light brown hair and her eyes were a dark brown color. She was wearing the university's uniform and was wearing a recognizable heart-like chocker. She looked beyond shocked as she starred at Minato as she was trying to snap out of her speechlessness.
"Minato-kun?" she said with a stutter I her voice. Minato with the same stutter began to reply back.
"Yukari-chan…"
