Seiji held Shinobu in his arms and cast a spell with Yomi's assistance.
As he chanted the spell, the space around him gradually darkened. The little girl's body glowed red, revealing blood-red runes.
Shinobu's consciousness gradually faded. However, she didn't try to resist like before, because he said that nothing would happen to her.
Just as she believed, a warm feeling came from his body and maintained her existence.
This was his — Haruta Seiji's Mana.
Shinobu liked this … even though she didn't really understand what "like" meant.
She felt that it was wonderful to receive this. It was wonderful to meet him.
He gave her something wonderful. She wanted to give him something equally wonderful, but she couldn't think of what she could give him.
She decided to think harder in the future.
As long as she was together with him, she would always be able to think and continue thinking. She would definitely be able to think of something!
The little girl closed her eyes and revealed a faint expression of bliss in his arms.
Seiji noticed that Shinobu's body had changed after he carried her onto the road.
All traces of her "materials" had disappeared. Her hair had become pure silver and was no longer messy. However, her entire body seemed somewhat translucent.
He hurriedly asked Yomi what was going on.
"The portion of her soul that was affected by the negative aura was left there. Right now, she's relying on your Mana to maintain her main body, which is why her appearance has changed," the female spirit explained. "As for why she appears translucent, that's because she's currently in a weakened state. As long as you continue to provide her with Mana, she'll gradually stabilize."
"So, you're saying that she'll be fine?"
"Of course."
"That's good to hear." Seiji looked at the little girl who seemed to have fallen asleep in his arms. "How's the portion of her soul that's left there?"
"Nothing much. It's just like a cicada shedding its shell. It's just left there."
"That's a rather subtle analogy."
"I think it's quite appropriate, heehee …" Yomi chuckled lightly.
She was quite happy to witness all of this.
A long, long time ago, there was a Yin Yang Master who was just like Haruta Seiji. He carried a weak little demon back home.
He saved her, raised her, taught her, and helped her understand the world. She experienced many things.
After the little demon grew into a big demon, it became the Yin Yang Master's Spirit-branded Retainer and helped him, gradually becoming stronger and stronger.
"Unknowingly, you've become very powerful … Even your name doesn't seem to match. How about changing it to a more suitable name?"
"Huh? You don't want to change your name? Let's just treat it as a title. Or you can use the old one as a nickname and the new one as your real name. "
"I'll give you an awe-inspiring name, let's call you —"
…
Seiji slowly opened his eyes.
It was daybreak, and it was time to get up.
Seiji silently sensed for a moment, and discovered that apart from the bonded spirit within his body, there was another incredibly weak existence within him.
Shinobu Miaki.
"You don't need to worry about her all the time, leave it to me. I will communicate with her and teach her all sorts of things. "Yomi told him before he woke up.
It was good that the female spirit was willing to do this, but why was she suddenly so proactive? Don't you want to "sleep" anymore? Seiji expressed his doubts.
"That's because it's fun to train pure and cute little demons ~"
What a speechless answer.
Although Seiji's answer made him feel a little "Is it really alright to leave it to her?" Yomi was trustworthy. It was also thanks to her power that he was able to bring Shinobu back … She would probably teach Shinobu well.
A powerful demon teaching a little demon would always be more reasonable than a human teaching a little demon.
After Seiji woke up, he saw Little Shi.
At first, Little Shi's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened last night. However, a few minutes later, her face flushed red, and her gaze became evasive. She seemed incredibly awkward.
Seiji also felt awkward upon seeing her like this. He did his best to stop himself from thinking about how he felt last night.
The two of them were both awkward, but they also had to prevent Little Ling Yang from noticing that something was off. This caused the atmosphere during breakfast to be rather awkward.
At this moment, someone knocked on his bedroom door.
It was actually Mai.
"I'm here on Grand Mistress's orders to take Tachibana-san to school." The maid smiled. "Afterwards, I'll investigate the security issues and deal with the pests that caused the problem."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He instantly imagined the scene of Mai executing a criminal with a smile on her face!
'If it's her, she'll probably kill the criminal just like how she kills pests …' Seiji couldn't help but think to himself. As for whether or not she would smile like this when she killed someone, he didn't know.
"Sorry to trouble you … If you need any help dealing with the problem, contact me."
"Thank you for your concern, Junior. If I ever need your help, I won't hold back. "
After Mai entered Seiji's room, she gave him a gift for their first visit: a box of homemade lamb soup.
Seiji recalled the time when he tasted her lamb soup together with Little Shi at the student council president's residence.
That scene was still fresh in his mind. That was when he and Little Shi had agreed to write a story together. It was a beautiful memory.
After that, they wrote "Brother Monogatari" together. Now, the story was about to be published … Seiji still didn't know when it would be published.
'I'll call Editor Yoshizawa today and ask her.' Seiji thought to himself.
He invited Mai to eat breakfast together. She indicated that she had already eaten.
"Although I was mentally prepared, when I saw your breakfast … I had the urge to cook for you." The maid sighed. "I don't want to say that you guys aren't good at cooking, but … breakfast is incredibly important, especially for girls who are still growing up. You should pay more attention to nutrition and variety."
"… Please teach me, Senpai."
"I don't want to give a long explanation, but I can't make it simple either … How about this, I'll email you some information when I get back, and you absolutely have to finish reading it! Arrange the weekly menu according to the information, and ask me if there's anything you don't understand. If there's anything you don't know how to cook, ask me as well. I'll definitely teach you. "
The aura of a professional came rushing over. Seiji could only respect her.
Mai was concerned about Shika Kagura and Tachibana Ling Yang's living conditions. She asked some questions and gave advice on areas that she felt weren't good for.
Her attitude was gentle and friendly, but also faintly dignified. Both the boy and girl obediently listened to her, as if they were little sisters being disciplined by an older sister.
Seiji felt that this scene was quite amusing and moved him. Of course, he did his best to take good care of Little Shi and Ling Yang, but as a boy, there would always be areas where he didn't take care of himself.
Fortunately, he received help from Mika, the landlord, and Juumonji-sensei. Now, the maid-senpai was also acting as a life consultant for him. He was truly grateful for their care.
"Junior, you're sleeping together with Tachibana-chan at night … is this true?" A cold voice questioned him.
Seiji's expression froze over.
'I forgot about this landmine …'
