A major battle probably wouldn't happen anytime soon, but it was indeed possible if the situation continued to develop.
"Currently, due to the night of one hundred demons and the appearance of the Awakened, Spiritual Ability users from all over the world are coming here. The appearance of Spirit Worlds will definitely greatly increase this trend …"
"If Spiritual Ability users gather together, the situation might become chaotic, and there might even be a mishap?"
"That's right."
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"But on the bright side, if there are more Spiritual Ability users, won't there be more people to deal with the demons and demons?" he asked.
"… That's right."
"By the way, did you find out anything about the night of one hundred demons and the Awakening phenomenon?"
"I still don't know how they came about," Summer Night replied. "Demons seem to appear out of nowhere, and it's the same for the Awakened as well … The only definite information I know is that the Awakened have all experienced entering a soul realm."
"A soul realm?"
"Yeah, I'm still unsure if that's the case. It's possible for someone to enter a soul realm on their own while asleep, but the probability is incredibly low … at least in the past. "
'That might not be the case anymore. ' Grand Mistress Kagura's words contained a hidden meaning.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
He wanted to say more to Summer Night, but didn't in the end.
…
After receiving Hoshi's message, Seiji went to Masashi Amami's residence and met with Hoshi there.
After greeting each other, they went straight to the main topic.
Hoshi took out a bright red leaf and placed it in his left palm.
Seiji used his [Astral Vision] and saw the leaf glow red. It suddenly transformed into a red bird that resembled a pigeon. A faint red mist emanated from its body.
Hoshi waved his hand, causing the red bird to fly up and circle around the ceiling several times before descending towards Seiji.
Seiji reached out and caught the bird. He didn't feel any sensation of touch or weight.
"This … is it under your control?" He observed the bird.
"Yes, it feels a little like controlling a character in a video game. However, it's using my mind instead of a controller," Hoshi explained.
"Oh …" Seiji tried to touch the bird, but was unable to touch anything. "Is it just an illusion?"
"It's not."
The red bird lowered its head and rubbed against Seiji's arm, allowing him to feel the cold touch.
"It will only meet people when I want it to."
"If that's the case, it's really amazing."
Hoshi had the red bird fly back to his palm. After another flash of red light, the bird transformed back into a bright red leaf.
"It can return to its original form … What kind of leaf is that?"
"They're just ordinary flowers and leaves. They're just stained with my blood." Hoshi raised his hand in a gesture.
Seiji noticed that there was a band-aid on his left index finger.
"You need to use your own blood to use your ability!?"
"Yes. First, I need to use my own blood to dye the leaves red, and then use the red leaves to activate their abilities." Hoshi chuckled. "This type of power seems rather evil."
Seiji: "…"
Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation. "Although it's quite common in anime, it doesn't feel good to use an ability that can only be used with one's own blood."
"Senior, do you hate this ability?"
"I don't hate it. I just don't think it's good, because I have to hurt myself as the price."
"I think it's acceptable to bleed a little every day."
"You intend to use it every day!?"
"I'll only use it when I need to create the red leaves."
"Oh, so you're saying that I'll use it as a reserve … By the way, does the red leaves I create have a time limit?"
"No. That's what I think. "
"That's a good idea … but is it really alright to injure yourself every day?"
"I feel that I'm already quite fortunate to have awakened to a Spiritual Ability. I don't want to be picky about this ability." Hoshi smiled. "It's just to the extent of bleeding a little every day. It's nothing much. No need to worry, Senpai. "
Seiji was still rather worried as he looked at the beautiful boy's smile.
"Hoshi, in your dream … or more accurately speaking, in your soul realm, what did you experience?" Seiji asked.
Something flashed in Hoshi's eyes as he looked directly at Hoshi's face.
"I just found a strange person and said a few words to him."
"A strange person?"
"He looked rather similar to you, Senpai. At first, I thought that he was Senpai, but I soon discovered that he wasn't."
"He looked rather similar to me?" Seiji was astonished.
If it was the same as Genji's, and Hoshi saw an incarnation of his ancestor or something, then that meant … that the Amami Family and the Haruta Family had the same ancestor!?
"What did you guys talk about? Did he tell you his name or identity? "
"I don't remember clearly." Hoshi shook his head.
"Eh?"
"After I woke up, I felt that my memory was rather hazy … I don't remember exactly what I said to him or how long we talked for. I only remember that we spoke."
"I see …"
A moment of silence fell between them.
"Senpai, what are you doing right now?" Hoshi suddenly asked.
"Eh?" Seiji blinked in surprise. "What are you asking?"
"I'm asking Senpai if you're currently fighting … something like that." Hoshi looked directly into Hoshi's eyes and spoke in a serious tone. "Although I've only just Awakened to my power, and I might be overestimating myself, I still want to help you, Senpai!"
Seiji paused in surprise at this.
Seiji paused for several seconds at Hoshi's serious expression before chuckling.
"What are you talking about? Do you think that this is some hot-blooded battle manga for Espers? Am I supposed to be the main character fighting against evil? "
"Senpai …"
"I already told you not to think too highly of me. I'm neither a main character nor a hero. I don't have a mission to gather my companions to fight against evil." Seiji chuckled. "Although I do have targets that I need to defeat, that has nothing to do with fighting against evil or anything like that. It's just my personal business."
Hoshi blinked in surprise.
"Senpai, you misunderstood," Hoshi told him sincerely. "I don't want to help Senpai because I believe that you're a main character or a hero. I want to help you because of you, Senpai."
"Hmm?"
"Although I indeed believe that Senpai is a hero, the reason why I want to help Senpai … is because I want to stand together with you, Senpai!"
'By your side, I want to help you, and I want to fight for you.
No matter if it's to fight against evil or for my personal business, I want to become your strength! I don't want to be taken care of one-sidedly. '
"Hoshi …"
"Senpai, we're friends, right? As friends, we should help each other, isn't that right? "
"… You're right." Seiji understood Hoshi's intentions. "I was wrong. I apologize."
"If I need help in the future, I'll call for you. I'll have to trouble you then," Seiji told Hoshi honestly.
"I'd be more than happy to!" Hoshi was delighted to receive Seiji's approval.
Perhaps his imagination from yesterday would truly become reality.
…
After chatting with Hoshi, Seiji then chatted with Shouzou.
"Harano-kun, what do you think of Hoshi's Awakened ability?" Shouzou asked.
Seiji thought about it for a moment.
"Let's not talk about combat strength for now. What I care about the most is that it requires Hoshi's own blood in order to use this ability."
"I'm the same." Shouzou sighed. "Such an ability gives me an ominous premonition."
"Does Amami-san know anything about it?"
