He was attracted by this song and wanted to find the girl who was singing.
As he walked in the forest, everything he saw, heard, and touched seemed incredibly clear. It didn't seem like a dream at all, but reality.
This lucid dream was amazing! That was what Hoshi thought at the time.
In the end, he still couldn't find the singer even after he woke up.
"I tried to recall after I woke up, but I couldn't remember where I heard that song before. I've never heard that song before either, so it's strange that it appeared in my dream." Hoshi tilted his head slightly. "Perhaps I've heard it before, but I've forgotten … at any rate, I can't think of anything."
Maple forest, red leaves, a female voice …
Seiji recalled a common SR Spirit-branded Retainer from his previous life.
This black-haired, red-eyed female Spirit-branded Retainer seemed to be an original character created by the game producers. However, the legend of the original Spirit-branded Retainer also existed. He didn't know if there was a corresponding legend in this world.
In his previous life, the legend of the original Spirit-branded Retainer wasn't particularly famous. She was clearly a beautiful and powerful female demon just like Snow Girl, but she didn't have much of a presence, which was quite mystical. Actually, if he only evaluated her in the legend, she should have been stronger than Snow Girl. It would have been fine even if she became an SSR, but she was only an SR … cough, he got distracted.
Speaking of which, if he compared the original Spirit-branded Retainer's story and the situation in this world … Seiji subtly sensed some malicious intent.
He decided not to think too much into it.
"Hoshi, what I want to tell you is that this dream of yours isn't just a simple dream," he told him in a serious tone.
"Eh?"
"It's not just a strange dream that's too clear. It's best to treat it as another type of reality … if you still have this dream tonight."
"What?" Hoshi made a silly sound.
Seeing Hoshi's serious expression, he realized that he wasn't joking, but …
"Senpai, just what …"
"There are some things involved here that I can't tell you right now."
Hoshi had a confused expression.
"I apologize for making you feel confused." Seiji chuckled. "Let's leave it at that for now. After you finish today's work, I'll contact you again, and we can talk about it then."
"Oh … okay."
"Go and rest now. I'm leaving now."
Hoshi watched Senpai leave and felt that this familiar figure had a mysterious aura to it.
Seiji headed to the Juumonji Group to look for Tomohisa.
"As for dying in your sleep … I can only say that if you have a very realistic dream, you should deal with it calmly and treat it as if it is real life." "And if your life is in danger, you can try to call me for help … although I'm not sure if it will work."
After hearing this, Tomohisa was silent for a moment.
"I understand. Thank you, Seigo."
"You're welcome."
"Did you come all this way just to tell me this?"
"Yes."
"You made a special trip instead of telling me online or over the phone. Does this mean that this is actually confidential information?" Tomohisa pushed up his glasses, his eyes flashing.
"Let's take it that way. I'm not sure if this counts, but I think we should be more cautious." Seiji sighed.
"I understand." Tomohisa nodded. "I'll only tell my father and big brother what you said. I won't leak it to anyone else. Is that okay?"
"Sure."
After leaving the Juumonji Group, Seiji went to look for Peach-sensei to inform her of the situation.
"Soul Domain … is it just like that time?"
"It's quite similar, but not exactly the same." Seiji explained. "I don't know how to describe it, but it feels different from when I was in Little Ling Yang's Domain. It feels more real."
The manga author looked at him.
"You saved someone again, didn't you?" she asked.
"Yeah … I think it's a little subtle. I don't know if I helped, or if I actually just caused trouble."
"Does the person in question think that you caused trouble?"
"No … she didn't."
"That's it then." Mayuzumi smiled as she looked directly at him. "You're a hero, Haruta-kun."
"I only did what I could." Seiji was rather embarrassed as he scratched his face awkwardly.
"Heh heh …" The manga author chuckled lightly.
Then, she told him that she would be careful and that she would tell Saki about what happened.
"I also hope that you won't force yourself. It's nice to be a hero, but you can't be the first to fall."
"I know. Thank you for your concern, Sensei."
After chatting with Peach-sensei, Seiji went to Shouzou Amami's residence, which was also Rion and Kotomi's residence.
"Welcome, Harano-kun."
"Sorry for the disturbance, Amami-san."
After entering the residence and sitting down, Seiji went straight to the point.
"Amami-san, do you know about the Awakened?"
"I've already heard some information."
"That's good to hear … I believe that Hoshi has a high chance of becoming an Awakened."
"Oh?" Something flashed in Shouzou's eyes. "How did Harano-kun come to such a conclusion?"
"Please allow me to withhold this information. It's not convenient for me to explain in detail." Explaining in detail would be the same as revealing information about Genji, which was unacceptable.
Seiji looked directly at the elderly man.
"The main point is Hoshi. Although it's only a possibility, after tonight, he might … What do you intend to do about this, Amami-san?"
Shouzou fell silent for a moment.
"I don't want to see that child Hoshi become an Awakened, but I don't know how to stop him." The elderly man sighed. "If he truly Awakens, I can only do my best to take care of him."
Seiji nodded.
"I think that we should tell Hoshi about the Spiritual Ability world … about the mystical domain. At the very least, he should be mentally prepared. What do you think, Amami-san?"
Shouzou considered it for a moment.
"It's fine to tell him now." He looked at Seiji Mukai. "Let's also tell Rion and Kotomi about this, and let them know Harano-kun's true identity as well. Is that alright?"
"Sure. They already know my real name and background. All they know is that I'm a Spiritual Ability user. "
He didn't expect that Shouzou Amami would suggest something like this.
Seiji didn't mind telling the twin sisters. But then, he suddenly realized that if he did this, the entire knight order would know about the mystical domain!
And … Mika, Genji, and perhaps soon, Hoshi would be included as well. Out of the nine members in the knight order, including himself, four of them would be Spiritual Ability users. That was nearly half!
Seiji couldn't help but imagine the future developments.
If all the members were Awakened, then this group that was originally named the Knights of the Round Table because it was fun would become a Spiritual Ability user alliance … wouldn't that be basically a secret organization!?
Seiji was astonished by his own thoughts. For some reason, even though it was just his imagination, he had a faint premonition that it would come true.
'It's impossible … no, it's not impossible …'
Seiji couldn't help but imagine a similar scene in his mind …
The First Knight who had a two-faced personality. She appeared cheerful on the surface, but was actually dark and cruel on the inside.
The Second Knight who had a beautiful appearance and manipulated spiderwebs to control her enemies.
The Third Knight who was two as one and had perfect teamwork to defeat her enemies.
The Fourth Knight whose gender was difficult to distinguish, who had a demonic body and smile … cough! Stop!!
Seiji forcefully stopped his delusional thoughts and returned to his senses.
