At the very least, it would cost one million and a half per person, which was no small sum.
As for Chiaki, she had already agreed to stay at Mika's place tonight, so there was no need to consider it for now. As for Peach-sensei and Editor Yoshizawa, Sensei should be able to pay for it. As for Tomohisa, he could pay for it himself. Feng Wu was staying here, so there was no need to consider it.
As for Hoshi, he was staying with the store owner … Rika Amami. Perhaps she would be able to pay for it. As for Rion and Kotomi, they were currently staying together with their grandfather, Shouzou Amami.
Seiji recalled the last time he met Shouzou, and recalled the last time he met Shouzou.
Although Shouzou didn't mention anything about the mystical during their last meeting, Seiji's instincts told him that Shouzou might know something.
So, he decided to discuss it with him.
He immediately called Shouzou, and the call soon connected.
"Good afternoon, Young Master Seiji." A raspy voice spoke from the other end of the line.
"Good afternoon, Amami-san … please don't call me that."
Shouzou chuckled.
"Harano-kun, what's the matter?"
"It's like this, Amami-san. Although you didn't mention it during our last meeting, you should know about the 'mystical side,' don't you?" Seiji tried probing.
"Yes, I do." Shouzou directly admitted it.
"Amami-san, are you a Spiritual Ability user?"
"I was in the past."
"In the past?"
"Right now, I'm just an ordinary old man."
"Oh …" It seemed that there was a story behind this.
"Since Amami-san knows about the 'mystical side,' that makes things easier." Seiji paused for a moment. "I'd like to talk about what happened last night …"
He explained the general situation.
"Thank you so much for your concern for my grandson and granddaughters," Shouzou said sincerely after hearing Seiji's words.
"They're my friends and companions. This is what I should do."
"Heh heh, I was right about you."
Seiji felt rather awkward when he heard this praise.
"Harano-kun, there's no need for you to worry about the barrier. Although I'm no longer a Spiritual Ability user, I still have some connections in the mystical side. It's still possible for me to protect my family from demons. "
"Is that so … since Amami-san says so, I'm relieved."
"Harano-kun, please be careful. It's good to protect others, but it's more important to protect yourself. "
"I will. Thank you for your concern."
The call ended.
It seemed that there was no need to worry about the Tianhai clan.
There was also Genji and Kaori … what should he do?
If the Night of One Hundred Demons was a real threat, he should have told them about it. However, the problem was that this threat wasn't very real.
Perhaps there wouldn't be any monsters appearing tonight … At the end of the day, he was a little too worried, just like someone who didn't know if it would rain but still wanted to buy an expensive umbrella. Under such circumstances, was it really a good idea to tell them about the abnormal domain?
Seiji thought for a while.
In the end, he decided to say it.
Although it might be feasible for him to pay for their barrier and secretly protect them, he didn't think it was a good idea.
Let's just tell him the truth and face it together.
…
Mayuzumi was astonished to learn from Seiji that Masakazu Amami's hidden identity was her uncle.
After thinking it over, she decided not to trouble her uncle. She would pay for her own barrier to protect herself and her good friend Saki.
As for how she convinced the editor to accept such an expensive barrier, Seiji had no idea.
And after Tomohisa learned of the situation, he requested to purchase a barrier that was enough for three people, as well as a fifty-square-meter barrier that covered a large area.
Seiji then contacted Shizuko Sakan and placed an order.
"I need some time to prepare. I'll contact you when I'm ready."
"How long will it take?"
"About three hours."
"I might need to place another order later. Is that alright?"
"Sure … please contact me if you need anything."
They ended the call.
Seiji called Genji again.
"Good afternoon. Do you have time to meet up?"
Genji was rather astonished to suddenly receive a meeting invitation from Seigo.
Seigo indicated that he wanted to discuss something important in person. She was confused, but agreed.
What could it be?
No matter what it was, she was quite happy to be able to meet up with him.
Genji put on some appropriate attire and went to Seigo's residence.
"My apologies for suddenly asking you out." Seiji opened the door to greet his guest after hearing someone knock on his door.
"It's nothing. I just happen to be free." Genji smiled as she entered his residence.
He had Seigo sit down by the stove and poured some tea and snacks for her. Then, Seiji took out a white gift box.
"This is a gift for the Winter Snow Festival. I apologize for only giving it to you now."
"Thank you." Genji happily accepted the gift. "Can I open it and take a look?"
"Of course."
She immediately opened the box and saw an exquisite art collection inside — this was exactly what she had been wanting recently!
"This … is wonderful." Genji was delighted as her eyes sparkled. "This is something that I really wanted to buy … did I tell you about it?"
"I didn't. I just felt that this art collection was quite nice. As an artist, I think you'll like it, "Seiji told her.
Actually, he had borrowed the power of his system to use the gift information card again.
"I really like it! Thank you for giving me this. "Genji revealed a beautiful smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to receiving the art collection itself, she was even happier that he had given her a gift that suited her very well.
Seiji was mesmerized by the beautiful girl's moving smile and was stunned for a moment.
"… It's good that you like it." After he regained his senses, he lowered his head and sipped on some tea.
"Is the important matter that you were talking about giving me a present?"
"No, it's about what I said this morning …" Seiji paused for a moment and lifted his head to look at her. "What if I really said that demons were attacking people? What would you think?"
"Eh?"
"There really are demons and demons in this world. There are also Spiritual Ability users, and I'm one of them."
Genji was rendered speechless.
She didn't know how to react to such a sudden statement. Her expression became rather strange.
Seiji wasn't surprised at all that she had such an expression.
In order to make her believe him as quickly as possible, he raised his hand and cast the most convenient spell for acting cool.
* Whoosh! *
The art collection suddenly flew up into the air.
It then fell down, and just as it was about to hit the ground, it flew up again. Then, it flew left and right under the ceiling. It flew in circles, spun, tumbled … and performed all sorts of tricks.
The purple-haired girl was stunned by this.
Finally, the art collection landed back in Seiji's hands.
"Check it carefully. There aren't any traps," Seiji said as he handed over the art collection.
Genji maintained her stunned expression as she accepted the art collection and inspected it.
Indeed, there didn't seem to be any traps …
"If you want me to use something else to perform for you, that's fine as well. As long as it's not something too heavy, I can do anything like that."
The purple-haired girl looked up at him again upon hearing his calm words. She saw that he had a serious expression.
"Spiritual Ability user …" she muttered to herself.
"It's probably difficult for you to accept, but this is …"
