Seiji opened his eyes and discovered that he was lying on his bed.
"I'm back …"
He slowly sat up and looked at his bedside.
His cell phone and wooden sword were sitting there quietly.
Could it be that everything earlier was just a dream? No … that was impossible.
He secretly got out of bed and checked the time on his cell phone before dialing Genji's number. While waiting for the call to go through, he brought his wooden sword to his study.
The call connected.
"Genji, how are you?"
"… I'm fine." Her voice sounded tired.
"Do you remember everything that just happened?" Seiji tried asking.
"I remember … that wasn't a dream." Genji paused for a moment. "Seigo … I want to see you."
"Eh? Right now? "
"Yeah …"
"… Alright, I'll go pick you up at your house." Seiji decisively decided.
"Thank you … I'll wait for you."
They ended the phone call.
Seiji knocked on Little Shi's door and told her what had happened. He then speedily put on his clothes and left with his wooden sword.
It was still dark outside, and it was quite chilly.
He hailed a taxi and headed to the residential area where she lived.
Genji felt incredibly tired.
She really wanted to sleep, but she didn't want to because of her inner restlessness.
She wanted to see Seigo … at this moment, he was the only one who could give her a sense of security.
She put on her clothes in her room and silently waited.
Not long after, her cell phone rang again.
"I'm in front of your house."
Upon hearing this, Genji immediately walked out of her room and snuck out of her room.
She saw him when she walked out the door.
"Seigo …"
She quickly walked over and threw herself into his arms.
Seiji hugged the seemingly weak girl and used [Astral Vision] to observe her condition.
"Let's get in the taxi."
As he and Genji got into the taxi, he noticed that the driver was looking at them curiously.
"This … there's something …" Seiji didn't know how to explain it.
The middle-aged driver's mouth arced upwards mysteriously as he looked at the boy who was hugging the purple-haired girl. He didn't say anything.
He must have been mistaken!
Seiji felt a little helpless, but it wasn't the time to fuss about this. Whatever.
Genji hugged him, closed her eyes, and leaned against his chest. She felt at ease and gave up resisting the tiredness.
Although he didn't notice anything amiss with his Spirit Vision, Seiji decided to take her to the hospital for a check-up out of caution.
After he said his destination, the driver's eyes flashed, and he immediately drove there.
After arriving at the destination, when Seiji was paying the fare, he saw that the middle-aged driver's eyes were sharp and serious.
"You have to take responsibility, kid," he warned in a deep voice.
Seiji: "…"
The misunderstanding had deepened!
"I don't have that kind of relationship with her …" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and tried to explain.
"Men who shirk their responsibilities are the most shameful! No matter how pathetic you are, it's still a hundred times better than running away. "The middle-aged driver glared at him.
"… I'm just taking her for a check-up."
"Go. Remember what I said." The driver turned his head. "You don't have to pay for the fare."
'Things really aren't what you think, mister!'
Seiji's cheeks twitched as he was rendered speechless. He wanted to explain, but didn't know how to.
He carried the sleeping Genji out of the car and watched in a daze as the car drove off.
They entered the hospital and had a doctor examine them.
The results showed that the purple-haired girl was perfectly healthy. She had merely fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
It was fine as long as she was fine.
Seiji then took Genji out of the hospital and returned to Uehara's apartment.
…
"After the beautiful teacher, you took in another beautiful girl of the same age as you." Chiaki had a smile on her face, but her eyes weren't smiling at all. "You're quite something, you beast."
"I was only having her sleep here for a while."
"You brought the unconscious girl into the room, took off her clothes, and then brought her to the bed …"
"It was just a normal way of taking off her jacket and letting her have a good sleep." Seiji sighed. "Please don't joke around like this."
"Hmph …" Chiaki stopped smiling. "I haven't even slept on your bed yet, and she actually beat me to it. You really can't underestimate the princess."
Seiji was speechless. He didn't know how to respond to this.
"Hah … Seiji is such a person." Mika sighed.
"Aren't you going to say something to him?"
"There's nothing to say to a handsome (beast)."
"That's true."
The two girls had reached an agreement and drank tea together.
"By the way, what exactly happened?" Chiaki asked after drinking some tea.
"I entered Genji's soul realm while I was asleep." Seiji said, "I don't know why this happened either. As for what exactly happened … I'll tell her when she wakes up."
"Is it something that's hard to explain?"
"Hmm … a little."
Spiders, mystical connections, ancestors, trial … Seiji wasn't sure if Genji would be willing to tell him all of this.
Wouldn't the fact that her ancestor was a spider demon that transformed into a human, or a spider demon, be rather subtle for a girl?
Since he wasn't sure if Seiji would mind, he didn't want to rashly tell her.
"Soul realm … is it like Tachibana-chan's?" Mika blinked in surprise.
"It's similar, but it feels different. It's even more realistic than Little Ling Yang's time." Seiji thought back.
"Entering your soul through sleep … it feels like a nightmare or something. Could it be that you two did something perverted?" Chiaki looked directly at his face.
"Of course not!" Seiji denied it.
However, he clearly recalled the purple-haired girl's naked appearance … cough, that was just an accident!
"You seem guilty." Chiaki narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure you didn't do anything? Haruta -san. "
"No!" Indeed, he didn't "do" anything. He only "saw" it.
"Then, are there benefits?"
"…" Seiji averted his gaze.
"It would seem that there are, and it's an incredible benefit." The famous detective Chiaki adjusted her nonexistent eyeglasses and arced her lips in a suggestive manner. "Share … whoops, confess the truth! Spring Dream-san. "
"Don't change my name so casually!"
"I've already seen through the truth. You won't be able to deny it! Spring Dream-san. "
"I'm not a criminal! And my name isn't that! "
"Only by confessing early can you reduce your sentence. Struggling is meaningless, pervert!"
"My name isn't that! Also, that was just an accident! "
"Heehee … you personally admitted that there are indeed amazing benefits." Chiaki's mouth arced even higher.
"Urgh …" Seiji lowered his head.
At this moment, they heard footsteps approaching.
The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw the purple-haired girl walking out.
Genji had woken up.
"You're awake … Good morning," Seiji greeted her after meeting her gaze.
"Good morning, Seigo." She smiled in response.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Pretty good."
"That's good, then … Have some breakfast. I'll make some for you." Seiji stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Genji looked at him for a while before turning to look at Chiaki and Mika.
"Good morning, both of you," she greeted them.
"Good morning, Asamiya-san." Chiaki and Mika greeted her as well.
Then, everyone fell silent for a moment.
"I heard from Seigo that something happened to you last night … What exactly happened? Can you tell us? Asamiya-san? "Chiaki asked directly.
Genji's eyes flashed as she looked at her and Mika.
