"Seiji -sama … Seiji -sama … please wake up … it's time …"
A gentle voice spoke in his ear.
Seiji slowly opened his eyes.
He saw Shika Kagura smiling gently and seductively in front of him.
'Hmm? 'Wait a moment.
Little Shi's hair wasn't blue, was it!?
And her smile didn't seem quite right either.
"Little Shi …"
"Yes, I'm your Snow Girl, Little Shi! The Spirit-branded Retainer who loves you the most, the Spirit-branded Retainer that wants to become one with you the most! "
The blue-haired beauty's smile became even more seductive, and her eyes shimmered as if she was in love with Seiji.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
'Yep, I've confirmed it. Something's definitely wrong. Little Shi wouldn't say such a thing! Nor would she have such an expression!! '
There were too many things he could comment on, and he was rather stunned.
"Honestly, Snow Girl, don't get too close to Master! What if Master catches a cold!? "
"That won't happen! My heart is filled with love for Seiji -sama; it's burning hot! "
"If it's really burning hot, you probably melted long ago!!"
A sharp rebuttal sounded. It was an incredibly familiar voice.
A hand appeared in his field of vision and forcefully grabbed the blue-haired girl who was sticking close to him.
"Ah! Let go of me, you smelly zombie! "
"Who's smelly!? I take a bath every day, okay!? Don't call me smelly!! "
The beautiful girl with dark red ponytails, a greenish-purple face, and an angry expression was Mika … no, she looked exactly like Mika!
She wore a dark golden robe, and her face and exposed skin were both greenish-purple. There was a yellow talisman stuck on the right side of her face, and she was slightly short.
Apart from that, her facial features were identical to Mika Uehara's.
But she definitely wasn't Mika Uehara.
Who was she?
And who was the blue-haired girl?
Where was this place?
Seiji's head felt heavy as he thought about all this.
"Ah … Master! What's the matter!? "
"Lord Seiji!?"
A surprised and anxious voice sounded, filled with deep concern.
"Nothing … I'm just … a little sleepy," Seiji said, rubbing his temples.
"Master, you don't look too well. Did this stupid Snow Lady catch a cold?"
"I've controlled my power well! Don't always think of me as a child who can't control himself, hmph! "
"Master, should I call the Firefly Grass over?"
"I'm already here … Seriously, don't make a ruckus in Master's place."
Another girl appeared.
She had long light green hair and wore a green wide-sleeved dress. Her legs were covered in white socks and straw sandals. She was a beautiful girl who looked just like Wakaba and Chiaki.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm here to help my master."
After chasing away the ponytails and blue hair, the green-haired girl stretched out her hands and pressed them on Seiji's shoulders.
"May the spirits of the plants be peaceful, Master …" she said gently.
Then, Seiji felt a cool sensation flow into his body from his shoulders. It quickly spread throughout his mind and body, dispelling all the impatience and cleansing his body and mind.
Then, he remembered.
He was a Yin Yang Master, Seiji Kamijou.
The three girls before him were all his Spirit-branded Retainers.
Snow Lady, Zombie, and Firefly Grass … he had given them all names: Little Shi, Mika, and Chiaki.
"Thank you, Chiaki. I feel much better now." He smiled.
"This is my duty, Master." Firefly Grass Chiaki smiled. "No matter when or where, healing Master and his companions is my duty and purpose of existence."
"I know, but I still want to express my gratitude." Seiji reached out and patted her on the head. "You've been working so hard. It's been hard on you."
Chiaki's face reddened slightly.
"Ahh, Seiji -sama, I want that as well ~"
Snow Lady Little Shi opened her arms and wanted to run over, but Zombie Mika held her back.
"Stop clinging to Master, you stupid Snow Maiden!"
Let go of me, stinky zombie!
I'm not stinky at all! "
'Sigh, these two always end up arguing.' Seiji shook his head helplessly in his mind.
"Master, have you woken up?"
After a respectful greeting, a beautiful girl with black hair and a red robe … whoops, a beautiful boy appeared in the doorway and bowed to him.
This was Zashiki Douji. Seiji had given him a name as well — Hoshi.
"I've woken up … Has everyone gathered?"
"All of our companions have gathered, and we're all prepared to wait for you, Master."
"That's good. I'll go out right now."
Seiji walked over to a clothing rack, took off his hunting clothes, and put them on.
Zashiki Hoshi brought him a hat. He accepted it and put it on.
After putting on his hunting clothes, Seiji walked out of his bedroom with Zashiki Hoshi following behind him.
"Stop messing around and follow Master!"
"Yes …"
"Okay ~"
Behind him, Chiaki from the Firefly Grass, as well as Zombie Mika and Snow Lady Little Shi's assent.
Seiji passed through the hallway and exited the courtyard. He saw that many Spirit-branded Retainers were already standing there …
Zankita, Hungry Demon Kazufuru.
Tetsuo Naruya, Ancient Fire Keiji.
Tengu Crow, Michirou, Mistress Tomohisa.
Shadow Girl Haruka, Fire Minami Shiina, Hair Demon Demon Anya.
Demon Fox Rion, Demon Fox Kotomi.
Kaori Kaketu, Rain Girl Saki.
Hashihime Rika, Wisteria Tenma.
Smoke Mist Mai, White Wolf Hitaka.
Rana the flower demon, the Blue Lantern, in the summer night.
…
Seiji glanced at his trusted subordinates and companions, and they all looked back at him.
"Greetings, Master." Blue Lantern Summer Night bowed slightly in greeting.
The moment she did so, the other Spirit-branded Retainers greeted him as well.
"Long time no see, Sir. Your health is more important than anything else."
"Kamijou-sama, we await your orders."
"Master Seiji, I've missed you so much ~"
"Please feel free to tell us. No matter what orders you give us, we'll do our best to complete them."
"Master, I … I'll do my best this time as well!"
"Sir, I heard that you're going to fight an incredibly powerful demon this time? Haha, I can't wait any longer! "
The Spirit-branded Retainers all spoke words of concern, respect, or passion.
A gentle smile appeared on Seiji's face when he heard this.
"Everyone …" he spoke up.
Everyone fell silent as soon as he said this.
"I'm delighted to see that you're all safe and sound … I see some of you often, but I haven't seen some of you in a long time.
If possible, I'd love to have a leisurely gathering with everyone, chat, and have some fun, but I don't have the time for that right now.
You should have heard the news that there's one … or perhaps more than one, an incredibly powerful demon currently wreaking havoc in the east of the city. A rough estimate shows that more than a hundred people have been killed.
I've gathered all the information I can, but I'm still unable to determine this demon's true identity.
However, we can't delay any longer, because its range of activity is getting closer and closer to the city. If we don't fight now, the number of people killed will increase exponentially.
In order to be as cautious as possible, I've gathered all of you together to fight this unknown demon, or demons, with your strongest power. "
Seiji looked at all the Spirit-branded Retainers.
"You're all strong individuals and heroes.
"Many humans and non-humans have been saved because of you," Ye Futian said with a smile.
As long as we gather all of you, with your combined power, there's nothing that can't be done! I'm so certain of this. "
All the Spirit-branded Retainers smiled upon receiving their master's praise. Some were grinning widely, some were smiling lightly, some were pursing their lips, and some were smiling shyly.
"This time, let us achieve victory once again! Of course, compared to victory, what's more important is … "
Seiji's aura rose to the highest level.
"Everyone! Not a single one of you can fall!! This is the most important order!! Do you hear me!? "
"Yes," all the Spirit-branded Retainers responded in unison.
Saving people was important, and winning was important, but the most important thing was the lives of his companions.
As long as his companions were all alive, even if they failed temporarily, they would be able to make a comeback!
On the other hand, if his companions died, then even if they won, it would still be a failure.
This was God Seiji's belief.
Up until now, he hadn't lost a single Spirit-branded Retainer, nor had he lost a single battle.
This time, it would still be the same.
