A new generation, Homo Evolutis … just where did these terms come from? Did Yui only know some secret information, or was she a member of the Soul World organization?
Yui remained silent about these questions. Seiji could understand.
She was probably already taking a huge risk by saying those words. It was impossible for her to say anything more.
What should he do if she really was a member of the Soul World organization?
Seiji decided to wait until he learned the truth. That was what Seiji thought. No matter what, Yui was his family.
By the way, a "Homo Evolutis" … should he play around with Gundam?
'I really did play around with it! And more than once, in the soul realm. ' Seiji retorted to himself.
…
Seiji went to the student council president's residence to cultivate. When he met with Grand Mistress, he thought of something that he wanted to talk to her about.
"Summer Night, I'd like to talk to you about something."
"Talk … about what?" Summer Night acted rather unnaturally.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"You have a strange expression. What's the matter?"
"No … nothing." Summer Night averted her gaze as her face flushed slightly red. "I just … feel a little uncomfortable."
She couldn't possibly tell him that she was currently feeling awkward because of the conversation she had with his younger sister last night.
She was quite worried that Hana would tell Seiji about the harem … but it seemed that Hana hadn't done so, so she was reassured.
"If you're not feeling well, you should rest. Don't work too hard," Seiji told her in concern.
"Yeah … I will." Summer Night nodded while blushing. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's about Shinobu Miaki … Akira Mitarai's human puppet," Seiji told her. "I want to steal her."
Summer Night: "!?"
The Grand Mistress revealed an astonished expression.
"Why do you want that?"
"It's like this, actually …" Seiji explained the general situation.
Something flashed in Summer Night's eyes after hearing his explanation.
"Yomi … she can see through demons and steal souls …"
"Have you thought of who she really is?"
"No … I can't think of that." Summer Night shook her head slightly. "Can you talk to her now?"
Seiji tried it.
"She's not replying … She's probably sleeping again."
"Marking a target and seizing their soul in their soul domain is a very powerful spell. It's a top-level soul curse technique." Summer Night said in a serious tone, "If this spell was used on humans … you can imagine how terrifying it would be."
Seiji touched his chin.
"Although I'm not sure about that, I can sense that she's actually very strong."
Apart from being able to seize souls, it was also able to find the mystical connections of Awakened ones and send people to hell to pull the fallen back … This was truly an incredible existence!
The name "Yellow Springs" was very suitable for her.
The person who gave her this name was probably Seimei Kamijou, right?
She said that in the beginning, she was similar to Shinobu Miaki. Although Seiji didn't know what that meant, if Shinobu Miaki was a demon, then she should be a demon as well.
When she was still a demon, it was highly likely that she was an incredibly powerful demon, on the same level as Shutendoji and Tamamo no Mae. As for someone who was close enough to her to give her a name … in other words, someone who was capable of suppressing her, Seiji could only think of Lady Seimei.
Yellow Springs used to be Seimei Kamijou's Spirit-branded Retainer. Seiji felt that this was a reasonable guess.
However, the female spirit's answer was rather ambiguous.
It was possible that she was intentionally being vague in order to make people suspicious, or perhaps that wasn't the case … only the heavens knew what the reason was.
"If it was possible, I really wanted to ask her about it, but she said that she wanted to maintain a sense of mystery." Seiji shrugged. "That's how it is."
Summer Night nodded in understanding.
"Spirits have all sorts of personalities. It's not strange to meet such a casual one … She has such a powerful ability, but she's always sleeping. Perhaps she's actually accumulating power?"
"I've considered this possibility as well, and I asked her about her sleeping habits. However, her answer was' because she wants to sleep. '" Seiji sighed.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's talk about Shinobu Miaki.
Shinobu is currently within my body, and she's currently in a weakened state. She's absorbing my Mana to recover … Can you see her? "
Summer Night cast [Astral Vision] and observed her carefully for a while.
"I can see some signs, but it's hard to notice if you don't pay special attention."
"Because she's too weak."
"Yes, she's incredibly weak. Compared to a spirit, her existence is like an ant compared to an elephant."
"… You can even tell?" Seiji raised his eyebrows.
"I'm quite confident in my judgment."
Summer Night ended her [Astral Vision].
"I understand why you want to do that. Simply speaking, just like how you adopted Shika Kagura, you want to adopt another female demon. "She revealed a subtle expression.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He felt that he was unable to counter this.
"Something like that … but I should correct you. I'm not adopting Little Shi Kagura. We're adopted siblings."
Summer Night stared directly at his face.
"That's exactly who you are, Seiji."
Male protagonist of a harem anime … She now truly felt how appropriate this description was. She felt rather complex inside.
Seiji was rendered speechless once again.
He felt like this wasn't the first time he had heard something similar.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"I'll bring that … Shinobu Miaki's body to me." Summer Night finally retracted her gaze and said, "The prerequisite is that we win the duel."
"Of course, the duel must be won." Seiji nodded. "We'll definitely win."
…
Later that night.
Seiji took a car to a hotel near Thunder Bunko's editorial department building.
The eighteenth annual Newcomer Awards award ceremony would be held at this hotel's banquet hall.
Since he knew beforehand that there weren't any clothing requirements for this event, he went in his normal clothes, a jacket and long pants.
When he entered the hotel's first-floor lobby, a tourist group was checking in. All the women in the group were instantly attracted by this handsome man passing by.
Noticing their gazes, Seiji smiled at them.
There was instantly a commotion. All the women's eyes lit up as they raised their cell phones to take pictures of him.
Seiji was already more or less used to this type of treatment. He ignored them and walked directly to the elevator.
Several people who were waiting for the elevator heard the commotion in the lobby. When they turned around, they saw a handsome boy with a faint smile walking towards them. For a moment, they thought that they had just seen their idol. They reflexively tried to recall who it was, but couldn't recall who it was.
Seiji waited for the elevator together with them. When the elevator arrived, he entered and pressed the button for the banquet hall's floor.
After that, nobody pressed the button for any other floor.
Everyone else looked at Seiji Mukai.
Seiji also looked at them.
"I'm here to participate in the Thunder Bunko Newcomer Awards award ceremony. Are you all here as well?" he asked politely.
Everyone exchanged awkward glances.
"I am." A young man wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase was the first to respond. He appeared to be an office worker.
"Me as well." A middle-aged man wearing a cotton shirt and sweatpants answered in a low voice. His brown curly hair was rather messy, and he wore wine bottle glasses. He appeared to be in his early thirties.
