Seiji fell into deep contemplation.
At first, he didn't think too much about it. He only wanted to see what would happen. But now that he thought about it, was it really a good idea to "educate" her?
Ignoring Yomi's teasing, she — Shinobu Miaki was the enemy's creation. If he left her alone, she might become dangerous … Killing Akira Mitarai wouldn't be a big deal. In fact, he would be happy to see her become a powerful demon, but that wouldn't be good if she became a threat to others.
In order to prevent her from becoming dangerous, he should take action. But if he "educated" her to prevent her from becoming dangerous, wouldn't that be the same as helping Akira Mitarai?
In that case, would it be possible to use her to kill Akira Mitarai, but not let her eat him?
Not to mention whether or not this would work, using a "child" to kill the creator of her parents … Seiji was quite against it.
Seiji was certain that he wanted to kill Akatsuki Mitarai. However, he didn't feel like it was a good idea to use Shinobu's creation to achieve this goal.
Yomi said that "she was a newborn child" … Just because she was created by Akira Mitarai, and it was highly likely that Shinobu was created by some terrifying method, did that mean he could use her as he pleased?
Seiji didn't think so.
No matter what the creator — the "parents" — was, the "child" was innocent.
He was unable to use the "child" to kill the "parents".
If he couldn't do such a thing, then "educating" her seemed like a thankless task.
Seiji realized that he was in a difficult position.
The main problem wasn't Akira Mitarai, but the "child" Shinobu Miaki.
How should he treat her, who was created by the enemy and used as a weapon?
This was similar to Shika Kagura's situation, but different. Shika Kagura had only been hired by Okubo. He had no deep connection to Okubo at all. However, Shinobu Miaki and Akira Mitarai were "father and daughter."
Seiji sighed after thinking about it for a while.
He felt like he was creating trouble for himself … No, wait, the source of his trouble was...
"Yomi, you're not doing this on purpose, are you?"
"Hmm? I don't understand what you're saying. "
"Don't play dumb. Did you intentionally describe puppets as' children 'and even use metaphors such as' education ',' mother ', and' father 'to give me a weird perception?"
"Heh heh ~" The female spirit chuckled lightly. "You saw through me just like that … that's right, I did it on purpose."
"You admit it so easily." Seiji crossed his arms. "What's the purpose of doing this?"
"I just want to see your reaction." "This concubine isn't lying. I'm just intentionally using a subtle metaphor."
"Why are you looking at my reaction?"
"Because I wanted to see it."
Seiji was speechless.
"You admit that this is a subtle metaphor, but what is the truth? What kind of existence is that puppet? "he asked seriously.
"She's a demon … a demon that was just born not too long ago. She's a demon that seems human but isn't. She's an abnormal species that originated from humans," Yomi spoke in a rather ethereal tone. Her voice sounded as if she was speaking from a faraway place.
"In an era where the difference between demons and humans was still rather ambiguous, existences like her would often be born. Some were evil, some were good, and some were neither good nor evil.
"They're different but similar to humans. They can communicate with humans, but there's a barrier between them. Some end up with happy endings, some end up with sad stories, some leave nothing behind, and some leave behind something that's been passed down to this very day …
"Not everyone can see them clearly, and they can't see everyone clearly. Yin-Yang Masters stand between them and humans. They can see both sides clearly and coordinate everything.
"Thou, Yin-Yang Master Haruta Seiji, just what should thou do when faced with such a child? I shall wait and see, heeheehee … "The female spirit chuckled lightly.
This time, her chuckle seemed different from before, as if it contained something.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He hadn't thought too deeply about what it meant to become a Yin-Yang Master. Or, more accurately, he hadn't thought about it from the perspective of abnormal species. Yomi's words, which were rather artistic and had a supernatural feel to them, gave him quite a shock.
As a Yin-Yang Master, what should he do when faced with a demon that was just born not too long ago?
This could be a specific question, or it could also be a question about the ideals of his job.
'Emmmmm …'
"At the end of the day, why don't we go take a look?" Seiji said after thinking about it some more. "It's still hard to decide what to do. Let's go take a look at her first."
And so, he cast a spell to open up a path.
Seiji uttered an incantation and formed a seal with both hands. Red light gradually gathered on his hands, forming runes.
The space around him slowly darkened until everything was pitch-black.
In the darkness, Seiji pushed forward with both hands. A red light shone from his hands, forming a mystical spell formation that resembled a gigantic mystical eye!
Then, he jumped into the eye. The spell formation instantly closed and vanished.
…
After passing through the path, Seiji fell to the ground.
The ground was blood-red.
Seiji stood up and observed his surroundings. He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
Apart from the red spider lilies growing on the ground and the sky, there were also black pillars standing tall. Countless silver threads connected the pillars, and a large number of puppets and humans of all kinds were pierced and hung from the pillars!
Boys and girls … and even children were hanging in midair like specimens in various strange postures.
Apart from complete human bodies, there were also many limbs, heads, and bodies … mixed together with puppet parts. Many of them were dripping blood.
The air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and some unknown medicine mixed together.
This scene made him feel as if he had transmigrated into some highly forbidden horror video game.
"Such an unpleasant domain." Seiji started walking. "Are we going in the direction with more cluster amaryllis flowers just like last time?"
"Yes," Yomi answered.
"Such a terrifying environment … just how did it form?"
"I'm unable to explain. However, such a scene proves that the child is currently being affected by the negative aura, just as I expected. If this continues, she'll definitely become an evil demon. "
Several seconds of silence fell between them.
"Miss Yomi, may I ask what kind of demon you are? Or are you actually a heroic spirit? "Seiji was curious.
"Heehee, what do you think I am?"
"Please don't answer a question with a question."
"I want to maintain a sense of mystery ~"
"I told you already, you're being overly mysterious, alright!? Please tell me a little. Please don't say anything about not liking men with too many questions. I'm your host. "
"Heehee … alright, I'll tell you a little." Yomi chuckled. "At the beginning, I was an existence similar to the child you're about to meet."
Similar to Shinobu Miaki?
"What does that mean? You were also a puppet at the beginning? "
"I said that I'll only tell you a little. You can think about the rest yourself."
"What you're saying … is really just a little? It's basically the same as not saying anything at all."
"Greedy boys. Not only do I dislike them, I even hate them."
"Am I being insatiable?"
After walking for a while, they arrived at a place filled with cluster amaryllis flowers.
Countless puppet parts and human limbs were hanging from the silver threads between several black pillars. There was a dense number of them … only one of them was in a complete human form …
