* Smack! * Feng Wu kicked Zankita's calf.
"Ouch! What are you doing!? "
"Although I understand what you're trying to say, I don't feel happy about it … idiot brother."
"If he could speak, he wouldn't be an idiot." Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses.
"Don't call me an idiot, you two!" Zankita shouted.
"Second Brother, why don't you replace Father? This brainless guy won't be able to be the team leader," Feng Wu told Tomohisa.
"I think so as well, but this idiot has more authority, and I don't want to be in that position. It's too troublesome." Tomohisa shrugged.
"Hey! Don't ignore me! "
"You're so noisy. Can you shut up? Big brother is only decent when he doesn't talk."
"That's going a little too far. At the very least, he has some use outside of being a decoration."
"That's enough! I'm really going to get angry if you keep talking! "Zankita raised his fist.
"You want to fight right away, so really …"
The three siblings argued for a while in front of Seiji's hospital room.
Seiji didn't know about the Juumonji family's current situation, but he could sense that they were anxious.
Apart from causing harm, the Night of One Hundred Demons also caused people to fall into fear … or a lack of a sense of security.
This was only the beginning.
If this situation continued, even if the actual damage wasn't too great, the entire city would collapse due to fear.
The Spiritual Ability users probably wouldn't just sit by and watch such a thing happen. They would definitely take countermeasures.
'But no matter what the others do, what can I do? ' Seiji mulled it over.
He wasn't strong at all. He clearly realized this when he faced off against Akira Mitarai. But even if his power was limited, he could still do something.
Not to be a superhero, but to protect others within the limits of his power.
As for who exactly he wanted to protect …
After thinking about it for a while, he picked up his cell phone and typed a message.
"If you meet with something strange and need help, you can ask me."
He specified the recipients as Chiaki, Genji, Hoshi, Rion, Kotomi, and Kaori. He then sent the message.
All the messages were successfully sent.
Seiji stared blankly at his phone for a while.
After that, he put away the machine, stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked outside.
The sky was about to brighten.
…
Ling Yang and Mayuzumi's fever went down smoothly.
Both of them seemed to be fine, but just in case, they still asked the doctor to prescribe some emergency medicine.
"If anything happens, contact me."
Seiji told Mayuzumi and Saki before they parted.
"En. Thank you, Haruta-kun. "The mangaka returned his smile.
After saying their goodbyes, they set off on their way back.
Seiji and the other two returned to Uehara's apartment.
Before entering the house, Seiji knocked on Uehara's door and saw Mika.
"Welcome back, Tachibana-san, are you alright?"
"The fever has subsided. I'm fine now."
"Great."
The twintailed girl smiled.
"Mom is making breakfast, do you want to eat together?"
"There's no need …"
Before he could finish, he heard his stomach growling.
It was Ling Yang.
The little girl clutched her stomach with a reddened face.
"… Just a little." Seiji corrected himself.
Mika smiled happily.
After eating breakfast with Uehara and Mayuzumi, Seiji and the others returned home.
He turned on the television and saw a program discussing last night's incident.
After looking at it, he felt that it wasn't very interesting. It was just some middle-aged and elderly people with titles of experts talking nonsense.
When Seiji went to his study, his cell phone received a message.
It was Chiaki, asking him why he sent that message.
"Let's talk online," Seiji replied.
Then, he turned on his computer, logged into his chatting software, and browsed through the forums.
After Chiaki went online, he sent her a link to the forums and explained.
"Although I felt that the incident last night wasn't normal, I didn't expect it to be this serious."
After learning about the situation, Chiaki sighed.
"You didn't just send that message to me, did you?"
"That's right, I also sent it to Genji, Hoshi, his sisters, and Kaori."
"Oh … so these are the harem members that you believe to be in your heart!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Seiji's words were too sudden, and it took him two seconds to react.
"What are you saying!?"
"The person you sent this message to is someone important to you that you're willing to help and protect, which means that they're the most important existence in your heart! If this isn't a harem member, what else could it be? "Chiaki sent an emoticon that seemed to understand everything.
"Of course not!" Seiji hurriedly denied it. "I just feel that with my own abilities, I can only take care of these friends …"
"Your rebuttal is weak and completely off the mark. This is a sign of a guilty conscience." Chiaki sent an emoticon with flashing glasses. "And you're guilty because I was right, so just honestly admit that this is your inner harem!"
"That's not it! I view them as good friends, not a harem … If it was a harem, I wouldn't have included Hoshi!! "Seiji grasped the key point.
"No! Deep in your heart, you've already accepted your cute juniors. That's the truth!! "
"Accept the hell! Don't think that you can twist the truth just by using the word 'truth'!! "
"It's not twisted! You're the one who hasn't been honest with your true self!! "
"That's enough with the word 'truth'! Don't think that just because you're forceful with your words is the truth!! "
"The truth is cruel, and people are always unwilling to face it. But I believe that one day, you'll be able to overcome the weakness in your heart! Just like me, you'll be able to openly admit that you're on the fence!! "Chiaki sent an emoticon with a bright smile.
"There'll never be such a day!!!" Seiji retorted with all his might.
After that, he took some time to calm down.
"Are you going to tell Genji and the others about 'that side'?" Chiaki asked.
"I'm not sure yet. If they've already met with demons, of course I'll have to tell them, but if they haven't … I'm not sure if I should tell them, "Seiji responded.
"If there's something, help them out. If there's nothing else, tell them to be on their guard. Is that what you're intending to do? "
"Yeah."
"If the night of one hundred demons continues … what will happen?"
"I don't know. But there should be a way to deal with it. "
"… I might as well move to Uehara's apartment and live together with you."
"Live together, the hell!" She actually said the same thing as Tomohisa.
"This isn't a joke. If demons appeared every night, I'd really want to sleep together with you." Chiaki sent a serious emoticon.
"Are you that cowardly?"
"Do you think that I'm that brave?"
"I think that you're braver than most girls."
"You're braver than most girls at the top." She then sent an emoticon with a perky chest.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
