After ending the phone call, Seiji immediately called Genji to tell her about the situation.
However, he stopped himself before he could say anything. He felt that it would be better to tell her face to face, so he called her back. He then called Mika and Chiaki over as well.
"I apologize for suddenly calling you back, but I learned some important information about Genji … I felt that it would be safer to tell you face to face."
When the three girls returned to his room after leaving not too long ago, Seiji had a serious expression as he explained the situation regarding the Awakened to them.
"… That's why, you absolutely must keep the fact that Genji is an Awakened a secret! Genji, you need to be especially careful not to reveal your abilities in public … "
Judging from his serious expression and tone, Genji and the others realized how serious this was.
Chiaki and Mika promised that they wouldn't tell anyone.
Genji promised that she would be careful.
"If you meet with anything, immediately come find me. And if you don't have enough time …" Seiji looked directly at the purple-haired girl. "Tell me my real name. Perhaps it will be of some use."
"Real name?" Genji was astonished to hear this.
"My real name is Haruta Seiji. Harano Seigo is a fake name … but I feel like this counts as my second name, and not just a fake one." Seiji chuckled. "I apologize for only telling you now. The main reason was that I didn't feel like it was necessary before.
My family is quite famous in the mystical realm, or perhaps I should call it the Spiritual Ability world. My real name … in a way, it's quite famous as well. So, if any Spiritual Ability user comes looking for trouble with you, perhaps telling me this name might be of some use. "
Genji widened her eyes in surprise as she recalled all the guesses about his family background in school … was it true that he was from a rich and powerful family!?
"That's our king's real name. Remember it well. Perhaps it might even save your life at a critical moment." Chiaki smiled at the purple-haired girl.
"… Of course I'll remember it. Haruta Seiji … right? "
Seiji nodded.
Genji stared at him for a while and smiled sweetly.
"I'm just a fake princess, but it seems like you're the real prince."
"Don't say that. I only have a background for now. You know what kind of state I'm in right now." Seiji shrugged. "Even so, I'm still protected by my family … I'm very grateful for that."
"Looks like there's a story behind it. I'm looking forward to the day you tell me."
"It's not a good story. Please don't expect too much."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I feel like I'm under the sun. What about you, Mika?" Chiaki said.
"Don't ask me." The twintailed girl averted her gaze.
After that, the three girls left again.
Seiji went online in the study and asked about Tomohisa's condition.
Tomohisa replied that no one in the team had been harmed by demons, but he had heard news of some victims.
Apart from that, there were also cases of healthy young people mysteriously dying in their sleep. It was unknown if this was the work of demons.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes, but he didn't immediately say anything.
After talking to Tomohisa, he sent a message to the three Amami siblings.
Rion and Kotomi soon replied, saying that nothing happened last night, and thanking him for his concern.
Hoshi replied a little later.
He said that he was working, which was why he replied late. He also said that he had a strange dream last night … a dream that felt so real!
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly when he saw this reply.
"When's your break? I'll go talk to you at the confectionery, "he sent.
…
It had been almost a month since he last visited the Divine Taste confectionery store.
Although it hadn't been that long, it felt like a long time had passed. Perhaps it was because so many things had happened.
Seiji arrived at the confectionery store ten minutes before the appointed time.
He saw a new face that he didn't recognize. It was a boy with short light brown hair. He was rather tall, but he seemed rather weak. He was currently writing down the words of his senpai in his notebook.
That senpai was none other than Hoshi.
Seiji couldn't help but recall the past when he witnessed this scene. He couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to the tall boy who was obviously a newbie, Hoshi had a reliable aura. He didn't seem like a weak newbie at all.
"Welcome … Oh, it's you."
A male waiter greeted him. He paused in surprise when he saw that it was Seiji. Then, he changed his business-like smile to a sincere one.
"Long time no see, Tanaka-senpai."
"It has indeed been a while. I thought that you wouldn't be coming here again." Tanaka sighed. "Why are you in the mood to come here today? You're not with your girlfriend either … Could it be that you're here specifically to see your old lover? "
"What old lover?"
"That's the one." Tanaka pointed in Hoshi's direction.
At this moment, Hoshi just so happened to finish teaching his junior and looked over.
"Senpai! You're here. "Hoshi's handsome face revealed a brilliant smile.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Tanaka patted him on the shoulder with an expression of barely suppressing his laughter.
"Your 'relationship' is still a legend in this store. Many old customers mention it and say that it's truly unforgettable …" Tanaka couldn't help but chuckle.
"Tanaka-senpai …"
"You guys go ahead and chat. I'm not going to be a third wheel, haha!" Tanaka laughed as he slipped away.
Hoshi walked over to them.
Everyone could tell that he was currently in a great mood. It was as if he was glowing, which instantly attracted the attention of some female customers.
"Eh? Amami-kun, could it be that the person opposite you is … "
"The legendary 'senpai'!?"
"Wow ~ I'm so lucky! I actually met him … "
"Hurry and take a picture!"
Seiji's cheeks twitched as he faintly heard this voice.
He shouldn't have come so early!
"Senpai …" Hoshi walked up to him.
"No need to greet me. I'll find a seat myself."
"Alright. What would Senpai like to order?"
"Give me a glass of orange juice."
Seiji found a seat by the window and sat down.
The store was still doing quite well. As he watched the waiters busy themselves, he recalled how he felt when he was working here.
It was still fine for him to work now, and he wasn't rusty at treating customers. 'After I finished drawing my novel, it would be nice to do some work to change my mood …' he thought casually.
After the orange juice arrived, Seiji took small sips and enjoyed a moment of leisure.
It was time for a break.
Hoshi thought that they were going to chat in the store, but Hoshi told him to go outside.
Although he found it strange, since it was Senpai's request, he would listen.
The two of them left the store together and walked to a quiet corner nearby.
"Let's do it here." Seiji looked at Hoshi. "Could you tell me about your dream in detail?"
"Sure … but why?"
"I'll explain later."
Hoshi blinked in surprise.
"That dream I had, I dreamed that I was in a forest …" Hoshi began telling his story.
All he could see were maple trees with bright red maple leaves.
The ground was covered in leaves, and more were falling from the trees. The entire scene was incredibly beautiful … and even a little devilish.
An unfamiliar woman's singing echoed in the forest.
Her singing was incredibly beautiful, and it matched perfectly with the beautiful scenery of the red leaves, reaching an indescribable level.
"It's practically the sound of nature … the sound of a god."
