"Can you help Mika regain consciousness?"
"It should be possible … if I use a spell," Shika Kagura said. "But, this creature … seems to be hostile towards me."
Seiji understood what Little Shi was trying to say.
In this situation, if she used a spell on Mika, Mashiro Kobayashi might do something.
Although he didn't know what this Spiritual Creature could do, it was evident that she was no longer a flying ball of light. Perhaps she possessed power that couldn't be underestimated.
'What should I do? '
Seiji thought about it.
"Mika, may I hug Mashiro Kobayashi?" He walked closer to her and smiled.
"Sure," Mika agreed with a smile. "Mashiro Kobayashi, let daddy hug you ~"
"Chirp?" The silver-winged loli glanced at Mika, then back at Seiji Mukai, and blinked her large eyes.
Seiji reached out to her.
With Mika's help, Mashiro Kobayashi jumped into Seiji's arms.
Seiji hugged the silver-winged loli and gently patted her head. At the same time, he silently turned around so that she couldn't see Mika and Shika Kagura.
'Now's the time! '
Shika Kagura took this opportunity and speedily created a seal to cast a spell on Mika.
The twintailed girl's body trembled. Her expression became blank at first, but then she regained consciousness.
"Just now, I …"
Her memory was a little hazy. She felt like she just had a dream … a happy and joyful dream.
"You were bewitched just now, Uehara-san," Shika Kagura told her.
"I … was bewitched?" Mika was astonished.
"I'll explain in detail later. For now, please put away that creature."
…
Mika took back the silver-winged loli from Seiji's arms. After comforting her and putting her away, the three of them sat down at the table to discuss this matter.
Mashiro Kobayashi already possessed Spiritual Abilities.
She was able to bewitch Mika, making her feel happy and joyful as if she was having a beautiful dream.
It didn't affect Seiji at all.
"When I was hugging her, I wanted to let go immediately if I felt something was wrong, but I didn't feel anything," Seiji said.
"This is probably because Brother Seiji has a strong will and is on guard," Shika told him. "This is probably because Brother Seiji has a strong will and is on guard."
"From what I can see, that Spiritual Ability creature … that's Mashiro Kobayashi's bewitching ability just now wasn't that strong. If Uehara-san consciously paid attention, she probably wouldn't have been bewitched again.
"But I don't know just how strong Mashiro-chan's power is … She didn't actively use her power just now; she just naturally used her power because she wanted to make Uehara-san happy," Natsuya explained.
"So, you're saying that if Mashiro Kobayashi actively used her power, it's likely that the power would be much stronger?" Seiji asked.
"Yes." Shika Kagura nodded.
A moment of silence fell between them.
"I think that we should conduct a test on Mashiro Kobayashi's power. That way, we can understand what abilities she has and how strong she is. " Seiji furrowed his eyebrows. "We need to understand the situation clearly. Otherwise … things might get really bad."
"Mashiro isn't a bad child!" Mika glared at him. "She was just trying to make me happy. She didn't cause any harm, so you shouldn't talk about her like that …"
"No, Mika, you misunderstand what I mean." Seiji glanced at her and felt that she was just like the mother of his precious child who was being talked about.
"What I mean is, no matter how good a child is, it's still possible for them to cause trouble. And troublemaking children … the destructive power of naughty children can sometimes be quite scary. "
Mika was rendered speechless.
"Being innocent doesn't mean that she's harmless. Even ordinary children are like that, not to mention a child with Spiritual Ability." Seiji sighed. "I don't want to say anything bad about Mashiro Kobayashi, and I believe that she's a good child. But, we still need to understand her situation clearly in case something unexpected happens."
"Yeah …" Mika nodded.
She felt that what Seiji said made sense, but she was even happier that Seiji viewed Mashiro Kobayashi as a "good child" and believed that she was "a good child."
Earlier, when she was under Mashiro's spell, she taught Mashiro Kobayashi to call Seiji "Dad" … that was actually what she truly thought in her heart.
Seiji would definitely be a good father. Mika thought to herself.
She imagined the scene of the three of them living together after she taught Mashiro to call him "Mom" and "Dad" caused her face to heat up.
"As for how to test her … I'll have to trouble President Wanhua again."
Seiji took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
The call connected.
"Hey, good evening, President."
"Good evening, Haruta-kun."
"Sorry to bother you again. How's your body? Are you feeling better after resting for a week? "
"Thank you for your concern. I've already been discharged from the hospital, and I'm currently having tea with someone outside."
In a luxuriously decorated Sakura Island room, Summer Night put her cell phone on speaker mode so that the girl sitting across from her could hear their conversation.
"Congratulations on being discharged," Seiji told her sincerely. "I'm sorry to bother you. There's something I'd like to ask of you, but it's nothing urgent, so let's talk about it tomorrow. "
"You can talk about it now."
"Eh? But weren't you … "
"It's fine, she won't mind." Summer Night smiled faintly at the girl sitting across from her.
"Oh … then I'll say it, it's actually …"
Seiji explained Mashiro Kobayashi's situation to her, and then made his request.
"A strength test … of course." Summer Night agreed without hesitation. "Tomorrow after school, you and Uehara-san can come to my residence, alright?"
"Alright, thank you."
After Seiji thanked her, he said goodnight to the Grand Mistress and hung up.
"Mika Uehara … the apartment owner's daughter, so she's not an ordinary person after all?"
The black-haired beauty sitting across from Summer Night spoke in a calm and clear voice.
"Originally, but she had a miraculous encounter … I was quite surprised when I heard about it as well." Summer Night smiled. "Would you like to hear this story?"
"… There's still some time left, so let me hear it."
"After all, it's something that happened around him, right?"
"Please don't say anything unnecessary."
"Heh heh … Alright, this actually happened during the school festival …" Summer Night began her story.
The black-haired girl listened quietly while sipping on her tea.
"… That's how it was."
After a while, Summer Night finished her story.
"Now, apart from Shika Kagura, he also has a Spirit Controller by his side. If he becomes a Yin Yang Master, I believe that these two would be more than happy to become his Spirit-branded Retainers. "
"One has the 'Reaper's Curse,' and the other is just an ordinary girl who coincidentally obtained a strange spiritual body …"
"Even so, for a boy who was exiled from his family and doesn't have any resources from his family, this is already quite good, I think." Summer Night continued, "If it was me, under the same circumstances, I don't have the confidence that I could do the same as him."
"… Are you mocking me?"
"Of course not, I just want to express that he's already done a great job. And, he'll definitely do even better in the future. "
"…"
"You actually think so as well, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically asked me to meet up with you and ask about him in detail. "
"Wanhua Summer Night, I met up with you mainly to discuss business. Asking about him was just something I wanted to do along the way."
"So it was mainly for business? That lasted less than five minutes, but it took quite a while to talk about something along the way. "Summer Night chuckled lightly.
