Seiji's understanding was shaken.
However, this only lasted for a short while.
That was because he didn't completely reject "Haruta Seiji" … If that had been the case, the first thing he would have done after he "transmigrated" would have been to leave this city and start a new life with a new name.
Seiji recognized himself as a transmigrator, but also recognized himself as Haruta Seiji. He accepted everything and took responsibility.
That was why even if his understanding was shaken, it wouldn't be too big of a problem.
He could think about it later. The most important thing right now was the present.
"I'm a Neo Human, an existence that's fundamentally the same as the Awakened … is that what you mean? Sister Yui? "
"That's right."
"Indeed, what happened to me can be described as an 'Awakening.' It's not that I can't accept it," Seiji stated calmly. "But … where did this term come from?"
Yui remained silent and didn't respond.
"Neo Human … you said that I'm an 'adaptor to the new generation.' In that case, what does the new generation refer to?" Seiji continued asking. "If the new generation refers to the time after New Year's, then that night … do you know anything about the 'Midnight Incident'?"
Yui remained silent as she silently picked up her teacup.
Seiji looked directly at her.
"Sister Yui … are you a member of Soul World?"
Yui quietly sipped her tea.
Her expression and actions were both calm and flawless.
Seiji looked at her for a while before he retracted his gaze and also picked up his teacup to drink his tea.
The silence continued for a while.
"Various things will happen in the future, many of which will be dangerous." Yui put down her teacup and poured herself more tea.
"If you want to protect your friends, continue working hard to become stronger. That's the only path." She poured more tea for Seiji as she spoke.
"I will … apart from protecting my friends, I also have the goal of defeating a female Qilin." Seiji smiled.
Then, he noticed that Yui's expression froze over for a moment.
"You heard that from Hana?" Yui inquired.
"Yeah … I think that's a really cool title." Seiji nodded.
Yui revealed a subtle expression.
"You don't like that title?" Seiji raised his eyebrows upon seeing her expression.
"You think that I'll like it?" Yui glared at him.
Seiji: "…"
"At any rate, don't call me that." Yui seemed to mind.
"I really think that this title is pretty good, at least it's much better than mine," Seiji said with a serious expression, "In Yuen Hwa Secondary, they call me the Magic-Devouring Dragon."
Yui was rendered speechless.
"By the way, before I became the Magic-Devouring Dragon, my nickname was the Destroyer of Guilds."
"… Are you kidding me?"
"I'm teasing you."
Seiji admitted it with a serious expression and then smiled.
"I never expected that Sister Yui would mind her nickname. I think it's quite cute."
"… What's so cute about this? I don't understand." Yui averted her gaze.
She was just so cute. Seiji smiled as he thought to himself.
"If you want to defeat me, you'll need to become stronger by yourself. That won't be enough." Yui changed the topic after a few seconds of silence.
"It's excellent that you've become a Yin-Yang Master in such a short period of time. Perhaps you'll have the power to fight against me in the future.
But I won't fight against you by myself. As a Yin-Yang Master, apart from my own power, I also have the power of my Spirit-branded Retainers. "
As she spoke, she moved the dessert plates on the table and arranged them in a row, blocking her own cup.
"My Spirit-branded Retainers are my proudest weapon and shield. If you want to fight against me, you'll need to first surpass them."
Seiji looked across from her, and then looked back at his own lonely cup, remaining speechless.
"Gather all the Spirit-branded Retainers that are willing to fight for you," Yui told him in a serious tone.
"Gather all your Awakened friends and raise them to become stronger, or you can directly gather powerful Spiritual Ability users … it's up to you.
Only after you have a team of Spirit-branded Retainers capable of fighting against me will you truly have the right to become my opponent. "
Domineering.
At this moment, Seiji felt the Qilin girl's domineering aura.
This was a combination of power and pride. It was an actual aura!
Her strength wasn't limited to her own, but also included the strength of the Spirit-branded Retainers under her command.
"Proud of it …" A Spirit-branded Retainer team must be incredibly powerful for the Qilin girl to say such a word.
Not to mention anything else, just the Hasegawa siblings that he had met before.
Would they be able to win if they fought seriously with them now? To be honest, Seiji had no confidence.
Yui looked at the silent Seiji.
"If you need anything, just tell Hana," she stated lightly. "I won't interfere with her actions."
When Seiji heard this, he raised his head and looked at the opposite side with a surprised expression.
"Are you … allowing me to use the family's resources?"
Yui didn't respond. Instead, she picked up her teacup and sipped on more tea.
"Thank you … I know what I'm doing." Seiji expressed his gratitude.
This was the other party's concession and acknowledgment.
Wait, if that's the case … A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
After going one round, this was actually equivalent to providing protection!
Seiji was touched as he looked at the girl drinking tea quietly across from him.
Stern on the surface, gentle on the inside … a proper tsundere!
He even wanted to hug her. This older sister was so cute …
Seiji expressed his current feelings with his eyes. Yui noticed this and turned her head away slightly.
At this moment, he felt as if he could see Hana.
Her tsundere actions were so similar to his younger sister's. As expected of sisters! Seiji felt even more moved.
* Ding! * 'Congratulations on becoming a sister duo!'
'No, no, I'm not at that level yet. I'm just really moved right now.'
After retorting to himself, Seiji sipped some tea and calmed himself down.
"If I want to recruit Awakened as friends, how should I raise them?"
"Go to a Spirit World," Yui answered.
"The Spirit Realm is dangerous."
If you want to grow, you'll need to take risks. "
Seiji nodded.
"Then, how should I prevent them from falling into a negative direction?"
"There's no specific method. All I can do is pay attention to the situation and try to stop them if I feel that something is wrong."
Seiji nodded again.
"I understand … thank you for your advice."
…
He didn't use the file he saved just in case.
Not only did nothing terrible happen, he even obtained an unimaginable amount of benefits. That was wonderful.
He was in a good mood.
If he had any regrets, it would be that he didn't know when he would be able to meet her again.
He was already getting closer to her, and it would probably get even closer in the future as long as he continued forward.
'Alright, let's think about the question that we left aside earlier …
'Just who am I?
A transmigrator? Or a former abandoned otaku? Or a butterfly from Zhuang Zhou's dream?
Of course, the last one was a joke.
Although if he thought about it seriously, it probably wasn't a joke, but … it didn't matter.
'No matter who I am, I am who I am. I have no regrets about what I've already done, and I have no doubts about what I'll do. So, there's no need to worry about where I came from.
'But, let's make a conclusion.
'I'm both a transmigrator and a former abandoned otaku.
'I'm a hero from another world in my younger sister Hana's eyes, and an Awakened Neo human in my older sister Yui's eyes.
