The purple-haired woman's body kept glowing red.
Every time she flashed, she would "freeze." And as the intervals between flashes became shorter and shorter, the scene became strange.
Seiji felt as if he was witnessing a video game character with a bad internet connection. She would freeze and freeze …
Seiji, who had been bitterly enduring the attacks earlier, now had the time to stand and observe the situation.
Finally, the woman's body glowed brightly, and her movements completely froze.
"Get — out — of — me!"
With this shout, a blinding red light flashed, and a red figure burst out of the woman's body!
Genji instantly felt like she was liberated.
She then discovered that her body was hers again, causing her to be filled with joy.
"Seigo! I did it!! "
She shouted at the boy, but saw that he had a stunned expression as he stared at her.
'What's the matter? '
Genji looked at herself and noticed that something was wrong.
Her clothes were gone!?
Her body was completely naked. Every inch of her skin was exposed, including parts that shouldn't be described …
"Ah … ahhhhh!!!"
She suddenly crouched down, her face heating up, and tears welled up in her eyes.
'How did my clothes disappear?
My nakedness … he saw me!
So embarrassing, so embarrassing!! '
The purple-haired girl wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole in the ground.
Seiji finally regained his senses when he saw Genji's embarrassment.
He saw something good … No, no, he couldn't think like that. Now wasn't the time to think about such things!
Genji had returned to her original state. Although he didn't know why she was completely naked, this was a good thing.
What he needed to focus on now was the item that had separated from her body!
Seiji looked at the red figure.
The figure kept changing shapes. It looked like a spider, like a human, and also like a combination of a human and a spider …
"Can this thing be communicated with?" Seiji asked the female spirit in his mind as he walked up to Genji, took off his jacket, and draped it over her.
"I don't know. You can try to talk to it."
What should he say? Should he ask what it was?
Seiji decided to give it a try.
There was no response.
The purple-haired girl beside him stood up.
"Seigo …" Although she still felt shy, Genji understood that now was not the time to be embarrassed. She needed to understand the situation.
"Genji, I don't know what exactly this thing is, but according to my bonded spirit, this is a connection between you and a certain demon …" Seiji explained. "I don't know the specifics, but it seems that as long as you can obtain its acknowledgment, you'll be able to Awaken your Spiritual Powers. Otherwise, you'll be punished, just like before …"
Genji listened to his explanation and blinked.
"In other words, this is actually similar to the trials in anime? And it's the judge of the trial? "
"Yes, that's about it."
The purple-haired girl's eyes flashed as she looked at the red figure.
As Natsuya watched, the red shadow transformed into a woman wearing Sakura Island clothing and didn't change any further.
Genji looked at him for a while, then bravely walked over.
Seiji reflexively wanted to stop her, but then stopped himself and silently followed her, on guard.
"I don't know anything about you … If there's anything you want to tell me, just tell me," Genji said cautiously as she walked up to the red shadow.
The red shadow woman slowly reached out her hand.
Seeing this, Genji hesitated for a moment before also reaching out and slowly approaching the red shadow.
Their hands touched.
Seiji saw a red flash, and then the purple-haired girl screamed and covered her head with her hands.
"Genji, how are you!?"
"I'm … fine …" The girl forced herself to speak. "I'm fine … I just … saw …"
What did she see?
Seiji looked at her worriedly.
Moments later, Genji slowly lowered her hand with a complex expression.
"I had a headache just now … I saw many things. The images were fragmented, but I could roughly understand what they meant …" She paused for a moment. "My ancestor … I think it was a spider."
"What?"
"I don't know where a large spider came from, but it transformed into a human, mated with a human, and left behind a descendant … that seems to be the case."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Is such a thing possible?" Seiji expressed his doubt.
Demons and humans together gave birth to descendants. Such stories weren't rare, but was it really possible in real life?
Even if they could fall in love and have children … wouldn't there be problems with reproductive isolation!?
Genji smiled wryly and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"It's possible," the female spirit replied. The female spirit replied, "In an era where the difference between demons and humans is still rather ambiguous, such a thing is bound to happen."
This seemed to contain a lot of information. Seiji fell silent.
Both of them remained silent for several seconds.
"It wants to give me the power of my ancestor." Genji continued, "And if I want to obtain this power, I must face it by myself. I can't rely on anyone else."
"… Will it be alright?" Seiji was worried.
"It's alright. Although I've always been afraid of spiders, I'm not so afraid anymore after seeing what happened just now. "Genji chuckled and looked at him." I have a request. Would you be willing to agree to it? "
"What is it?"
"Lend me your wooden saber."
"Wooden sword …" Seiji looked at his own Spiritual weapon. "Of course, if you want to use it."
He handed her his wooden sword.
"Thank you." Genji accepted the wooden sword and smiled brightly. "This will give me even more courage!"
Seiji looked directly at her face.
She also looked at him for a while before turning to face the red shadow with a resolute expression.
"Come."
The red shadow shook slightly and floated backwards for some distance before beginning to transform. Soon, it transformed into a gigantic red spider with eight pitch-black eyes.
Yukari wielded her wooden sword and faced it head-on.
Seiji nervously watched. Suddenly, his vision became hazy.
"What's going on!?"
"It's time for you to leave."
Seiji's hazy vision turned golden. His body started spinning uncontrollably before he suddenly fell down again!
He didn't even have the time to adjust his posture before crashing to the ground.
"Wah … this place is …"
A road illuminated by fire.
This was a dark road filled with cluster amaryllis flowers. This was the place where he had just carried Genji.
"What's the meaning of this? Yomi. "
Seiji questioned the female spirit and told her her name.
Yomi … the legends said that it was the place where people went after death. It could also be said that it was the Concept of death itself.
Seiji had even guessed that she was the incarnation of this Concept. However, she denied this and said that she was simply given this name by someone else.
"I don't think that you should stay there any longer."
"Why's that?"
"Her battle will be quite difficult. I don't think that she'll want you to see her struggling so pathetically."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"You should just wait here quietly. That girl is quite excellent. She'll probably win."
Seiji sighed.
"You don't believe in her?"
"It's not that I don't believe in her. It's just … I'm quite worried."
"Heh heh, you really like this girl. I also think that she's quite suitable for you. Why don't you take her into your room?" The female spirit chuckled.
