Chiaki and Mika returned to Uehara's home to give Genji and Seiji some space to talk.
"Breakfast was delicious, thank you."
"It's fine as long as it suits your taste. Little Shi made it."
After Chiaki finished her breakfast and Seiji cleaned up, the two of them sat down by the kotatsu.
"After you began your battle, my spirit took me out of that forest and waited there until I woke up," Seiji told her. "That's why I didn't see your battle … How did it go?"
"I was badly beaten up." Genji smiled wryly. "I'm glad that you weren't there to see it."
"I see … Then you failed the trial." Seiji looked at her. "But it's good that you're fine … When you were asleep, I took you to the hospital — a Spiritual Ability user hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with your body."
"No … I passed the trial."
"Eh?"
"Although I didn't win, it acknowledged me, so I guess I barely passed." Genji sighed. "This trial didn't require me to win, it was to test me … No, it was to force me."
"Force?"
"Yes, to force me to face it … If I only ran away or feared it, I would have ended up in the worst possible situation. But if I displayed courage and persevered, I would be able to obtain its acknowledgement … the lowest level of acknowledgement. "
"Oh …" Seiji blinked. "Then now …"
Yukari smiled, raised her right hand, and then pulled it back.
A teacup instantly flew into her hand!
"This is …" Seiji was astonished and immediately used [Astral Vision] to observe.
"Spider silk?" He saw that there was a white thread between her hand and the teacup.
"That's right." Genji held the teacup with her left hand and showed it to him with her right hand.
She released a white spiritual spider silk from her palm and stuck it to the teacup.
Then, she pointed her palm upwards and shot out a thread that stuck to the ceiling. She then pulled her right hand back and let go of the teacup with her left hand, causing it to hang in midair.
If Seiji didn't use [Astral Vision], he would have seen the mystical sight of the teacup floating in midair.
"This … how did you cast it?" Seiji asked.
"Just by feeling … it's like using my hands and feet." Genji paused for a moment. "After I woke up, I realized that I had this ability."
An ability … not a spell.
Seiji's eyes flickered.
The Psionic Power he used, other than the two "martial skills" of "Beginner Fist Techniques" and "Beginner Saber Techniques", were all "Hex Spells".
In other words, his spiritual power was all spells.
However, Genji's seemed to be different. She didn't need any method. She could use her "ability" just by feeling it, just like using her hands and feet!
Or to put it another way — "special ability."
The red spider was a "fortuitous encounter". After passing its trials, he had obtained Psionic Power, so calling it a "superpower" seemed rather appropriate.
Mystical connections were fated with demons and ghosts … What if it wasn't limited to just demons and ghosts? A thought flashed through Seiji's mind.
He thought of the Character Reward Card.
[Hoshi Amami] and [Shika Kagura]. These two Character Reward Cards had given him many abilities. If this was a "fortuitous encounter," and those abilities were "special abilities," wouldn't that make sense?
No, it wasn't just a Character Reward Card! If he thought about it further, the "gifts", "items" … could the entire dating sim system itself be a super powerful "special ability!?"
Seiji faintly felt like he was seeing the truth.
As for whether or not it was true, he didn't know. It was still only a guess.
After thinking about it for a while, he regained his senses and saw the purple-haired girl quietly looking in his direction.
"Sorry, I got a little lost in thought."
"It's fine. I like looking at you." Genji smiled.
He was suddenly attacked by a ball again!
"Er … um … now that you have spiritual powers, you're a Spiritual Ability user from now on." Seiji paused for a moment. "Although I should say something as your senpai, I'm still a newbie myself.
By the way, do you have any plans for yourself? Do you want to do something with this ability … something like that? "
Genji blinked upon hearing this.
"It told me that there would be danger."
"Eh?"
"It gave me this ability and told me that the meaning of this ability is to protect myself against impending danger … something like that."
"That sounds a little vague."
"It's vague. You saw it for yourself at the time. It told me that way, so I can't be sure if what I understood was its true meaning." Genji sighed. "I can only say that it feels like that … it's like someone who doesn't speak the same language is using gestures and expressions to communicate to me, and I can only guess what it's trying to say."
"I see …" Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation. "There will be danger … is it referring to the night of one hundred demons?"
The night of one hundred demons from last night happened again.
There were many new "demon threads" and related threads on the forums. This topic was even more popular than yesterday.
"If danger means that the night of one hundred demons will become more and more serious, then that's not good."
"Yeah …"
The two of them fell silent for a moment.
"Just use that ability of yours to protect yourself. Of course, if there's anything you can't handle, you can still ask me for help." Seiji smiled. "Although it might be more of a hindrance."
Genji chuckled.
"You didn't help at all. If you hadn't come at that time, I would definitely …" She looked at him with a gentle expression in her eyes. "Thank you so much, Mr. Hero."
"No need to be so polite, Your Highness." Seiji awkwardly scratched his face after being stared at like this.
"The hero who saved the princess deserves a thank-you gift. What would you like?"
"About that … I only want the princess' smile."
"Only a smile?" Genji made a disappointed expression as a flirtatious glint flashed in her eyes. "I can give you more than that ~"
He was being bombarded by the main cannon! Sergeant Haruta, hang in there!!
"Cough … actually, I didn't do much." Seiji recalled her kiss from yesterday and blushed slightly as he averted his gaze. "You don't need to be so particular about thank-you gifts."
"I want to be particular!" Something flashed in Genji's eyes. "If you can't tell me what you want, I'll give you what I want. You're not allowed to refuse."
"Er …" Seiji averted his gaze as he suddenly recalled something else.
"Right, I almost forgot to ask. Can I tell Mika and the others about what happened to you?"
"Hmm?"
"Because they might have encountered something similar, so I wanted to tell them … if you don't want to tell me the details, I'll only give you a general idea. Is that alright?"
Genji was rendered speechless.
'Idiot Seigo!'
She inwardly pouted.
"Go ahead if you want to. Do whatever you want."
"Er … are you angry?"
"No." Genji averted her gaze.
"You seem to mind … I won't mention the spider. I'll just say that you met a powerful demon … is that alright?" Seiji tried asking again.
"I said that it's up to you. I don't mind even if they call me the spider girl."
"You don't sound like you don't mind at all …"
"Hmph, at any rate, those two are the most important people in your heart. I don't care how I feel."
"They are indeed very important." Seiji smiled wryly. "But you're also very important. I can't possibly ignore your feelings, Genji."
"Hmph …"
The purple-haired girl still had a slightly angry expression on her face. However, she felt warmth in her heart.
