Seiji fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"You can go sleep at Mika's place."
"I don't think it's a good idea to sleep at someone else's house on the first night of the New Year."
"What would people say about sleeping at someone else's house on the night of the Winter Snow Festival?"
"That's true." Chiaki sent a giggling emoticon. "That's a good suggestion. I'll ask Mika about it when we go to the New Year's together. I hope she'll take me in since I'm so timid."
At this moment, Seiji's cell phone beeped.
It was a reply from Genji. She first wished him a Happy New Year, then asked what the "strange incident" was referring to.
Seiji replied and told her to chat on the internet, showing her the "demon thread" on the forums.
"Sweet Pork told me that someone he knew met with such a strange incident. He wasn't joking … so I was worried, so I sent him that message."
"I see. Thank you for your concern, Seigo." Genji sent a moved emoticon. "I like you even more now!"
Seiji didn't know how to respond to such a direct response.
"No need to be polite … at any rate, be careful tonight." He paused for a moment before telling her.
"Yeah, I will. You need to be careful as well. "
"Of course I will."
"By the way, is it really a demon attacking someone?"
"According to rumors. No matter what it is, it's true that it's dangerous. "
"Seigo is confident that he can defeat a demon?"
"I have a certain level of confidence."
"How reliable, as expected of the Unyielding King!" She then sent a flying flag emoticon.
Seiji replied with a smiling emoticon.
"If you really meet with anything, come find me."
'So handsome. ' Genji could feel his handsomeness even through the screen, causing her face to flush slightly red.
...
After that, Hoshi, Kaori, Rion, and Kotomi all sent replies.
Seiji had them chat online, feeling fortunate that none of them met with a demon.
The three Amami siblings and Kaho all sincerely thanked and accepted Seiji's concern and advice.
Then, it was time to pay their New Year's respects.
When Seiji was about to turn off his computer, he received a call from Mika.
"Seiji, I can't pay my respects anymore."
"Why?"
"I received a call from Grandpa Zhao … He found me a Spiritual Ability teacher and told me to contact her immediately."
"Huh?"
Spiritual ability teacher? Seiji was surprised.
That Old Mister Zhao said that he would help Mika … But instead of giving her a spirit artifact, he found her a teacher!?
This … is actually pretty good.
No, not quite good, but the best way to do it!
Mika indeed needed a teacher. She needed it more than any spiritual artifact.
A good Spiritual Ability teacher would be of great help to her … the elderly man was quite accurate in his judgement.
"He said that her name is Ruri Kinchi, and that she's an excellent Spirit Controller that he found through his connections. He told me to call her number and contact her for a meeting," Mika told him.
"Contact her, then. I think that Old Mister Zhao's actions are excellent. You indeed need a teacher. "
"I think it's excellent as well, and I'm really grateful to Grandpa Zhao … but it's rather sudden, and I'm a little nervous right now."
"It is indeed rather sudden." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation. "Would you like me to accompany you?"
Mika fell silent for a moment.
"I want you to accompany me … but I also feel that it's better to be by myself," Mika told him in a soft voice.
It didn't seem appropriate to have someone else accompany her on her first meeting with her teacher.
"Then go ahead and meet her by yourself." Seiji gave her a gentle push. "Overcome your nervousness and speak properly. You can do it."
"Yeah … thank you, Seiji."
"I didn't do anything worth thanking you for." Seiji chuckled. "As for the New Year's greeting, I'll talk to Chiaki about it and postpone it for a while. Why don't you go together after you meet with that Kinsa-san? "
"Okay." Mika smiled.
They ended their conversation there.
Seiji called Chiaki and explained the situation.
"A spiritual artifact crafting master from Huaxia … he seems to be quite a powerful person."
"Yeah. I don't know exactly how powerful he is, but there's no doubt that he's a major character. "
"He wouldn't be someone from the Huaxia royalty, would he? Mika is actually a real princess!? "
"You're overthinking things."
"Isn't that a possibility?"
"I might even be the reincarnation of the strongest Yin Yang Master in history, Seimei Kamijou."
"Are you!?"
"I just wanted to say that there are too many possibilities, but they're just possibilities. Don't think too much."
"It's quite interesting to think about it."
"Up to you, then. Go and slowly think about it in bed." Seiji was about to hang up.
"Wait a moment!" Chiaki noticed that Seiji was about to put down his cell phone and stopped him. "Weren't you curious about that spiritual ability teacher?"
"I was a little curious …"
"Then let's go see her together!"
"What?"
"Let's follow Mika and see who she's meeting with!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I don't want to do such a thing."
"You're hesitating, aren't you? Actually, you really want to see her! "
"Indeed, I want to see her, but I'll have a chance to see her in the future. There's no need to do such a thing. Besides, Mika might have left already. "
"Don't be like that. Following and peeking can be surprisingly fun ~"
"Don't enjoy such fun!"
"She's an unfamiliar Spiritual Ability user, after all. Aren't you worried at all that Mika is meeting with her by herself?"
"Er …" Seiji got to the point.
"I'm worried about my clumsy best friend and want to silently watch over her, which is why I'm following her!" Chiaki sent a righteous emoticon.
"I feel like you're just pretending …"
"Following and peeking are necessary evils! For a noble purpose!! "
"I don't think that's so noble anymore."
"For the sake of protection, let us transform into shadows!"
"It's the same even if we use cool lines."
Seiji thought about it as he retorted.
"If you want to say that I'm worried, I'm indeed a little worried … I think I should go take a look."
"Welcome to the Darkness Faction!"
"No, I shall abide by the light."
Seiji hung up and called Mika again.
"Have you contacted Kinsa-san?"
"I did."
"When and where are we meeting?"
"One hour from now, at the Black Sugar Coffee Café in the business district … why are you asking?"
"Although it was Zhao-san who invited her, she's still an unfamiliar Spiritual Ability user. I'm a little worried, which is why I want to go with her," Seiji said. "I won't disturb your conversation. I'll just stand guard nearby."
"Seiji …"
"Is that alright with you?"
"Yeah … thank you," Mika said sincerely. "I feel reassured knowing that you're nearby."
"As long as you don't think that I'm being too nosy." Seiji chuckled.
At this moment, he felt like an older brother who was worried about his younger sister meeting up with an online friend. More specifically, he felt like Osuke Takasaka from "My Younger Sister Can't Possibly Be That Cute."
By the way, the person Mika wanted to meet was named Ruri Kinchi, who had the same name as the popular supporting female character Ruri Kotari from "My Younger Sister Can't Possibly Be That Cute …"
Was this Kinsa-san really the same as the "black cat" Ruri Kotari? She had long black hair, a fair face, red eyes, and wore goth loli clothing with chuunibyou issues?
Haha, how was that possible? It was impossible.
Seiji felt like he had been infected by Chiaki and was overthinking things.
However …
One hour later, at the Black Sugar Coffee Café.
