This sounded like an exaggeration, but it was impossible to ignore this possibility.
"Apart from this possibility, there's also the fact that ever since the new year, various abnormal events such as the Night of One Hundred Demons have been happening one after another. It doesn't seem like it's going to stop at all. In fact, it seems like it's only going to get worse …
"That's why I'm thinking that rather than Sensei continuing to keep this power to herself, why don't you try using it? That way, you'll have the ability to resist in times of danger." Seiji looked at Mayuzumi.
"I suggest that Sensei try using your mysterious power to summon something, such as the righteous characters from Honey Candy Girl. Just like back then, you can have them fight for you and protect you."
"Such an attempt would be risky, but doing nothing would also be risky. Becoming stronger is the correct path. That's my opinion," Seiji expressed his opinion honestly.
Mayuzumi was rendered speechless.
Saki looked at her silent friend and wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, Mayuzumi spoke up.
"I think I've already summoned something," the manga author said softly.
Saki and Seiji were both rendered speechless.
"You've summoned something?" Seiji was astonished.
"Yeah … not long ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt like I saw 'Idelia,'" Mayuzumi told him.
Idelia was one of the main characters of Honey Candy Girl. She was an ice demon who was highly popular among both the manga and anime audience!
"At that time, I saw her standing by the window and looking at me. She smiled for a moment before vanishing.
Since I only saw her for an instant, I wasn't too sure … Later, when I thought about it, I felt like it wasn't an illusion. "
Seiji and Saki were both rendered speechless.
"Sensei, then try summoning her seriously right now," Seiji told them.
Mayuzumi nodded.
Then, she closed her eyes and slowly opened them several seconds later. Her gaze became sharp, and she quickly started drawing in the air while holding her pen.
She was concentrating quite hard on drawing a pattern.
Seeing Peach-sensei like this, Seiji felt like she was casting a spell.
After drawing a character on an invisible piece of paper, the manga author gently pushed the paper forward and imagined the character materializing.
"Come, Idelia."
Suddenly, there was a flash of light!
A blue mist of light suddenly appeared, and a vague figure appeared in the mist. Then, the mist of light turned into star-like light, and a beautiful girl with long silver hair wearing a blue and white elegant dress, white stockings, and a blue butterfly hair accessory appeared.
It really appeared!?
Seiji and Saki both widened their eyes.
Idelia … Just like in the anime, the real-life "Honey Candy Girl" protagonist appeared before the three of them!
Mayuzumi herself, who had summoned her, was stunned. She did not expect that she would succeed on the first try!
The silver-haired girl opened her blue eyes and smiled at the three of them.
"Hello."
The sweet-sounding voice was ethereal and illusory.
…
Together, Seiji and Mayuzumi confirmed that this Idelia was an NPC without intelligence … a spirit body. She was the same as the Sugar Lady character they met in Little Ling Yang's Domain.
"Looks like Teacher has unknowingly awakened the ability to materialize a character," Seiji sighed.
In this way, Mayuzumi could also be considered an Awakened. He also told her about the Awakened so that she could understand.
"At any rate, having this ability is a good thing. Please practice it properly and use it to protect yourself when necessary," he told her.
The manga author nodded.
The editor was still in a state of astonishment. She was unable to take her eyes off the materialized Sugar Lady protagonist.
"I … want to touch her. Is that alright?" she asked.
"Of course," Mayuzumi responded.
And so, Saki slowly reached out her hand and lightly placed it on Idelia's shoulder.
"It feels so real." Mayuzumi couldn't help but exclaim softly as she felt the delicate touch.
If an ordinary person saw this, they would definitely think that this was some sort of super high level cosplay. Seiji thought that taking a few pictures and uploading them on the internet would probably cause quite a stir.
"Sensei, you wouldn't be unable to resist taking pictures and uploading them on the internet, would you?" he asked out of curiosity.
"Eh?" The manga author blinked in surprise. "… Can't I?"
"Of course not! I just told you that Awakened should keep a low profile. "
"Heh heh, I know. I was just joking." Mayuzumi smiled.
"Please be careful not to show off."
Seiji then looked towards Idelia.
"Do you want to take a picture as a memento?" Mayuzumi asked him.
"… I do want to," Seiji admitted honestly.
This was the author's personal materialization of the popular "Honey Candy Lady" main character! As a fan, of course he would want to take a few pictures of her … no, a dozen or so!
At this moment, the silver-haired girl turned towards him and smiled sweetly as she said in a cute voice, "You can do whatever you want ~"
The otaku Seiji was being attacked by a cannon!
All sorts of desires instantly surged up within him. He was almost about to give in to his instincts, but he forcefully restrained himself.
"Sensei, you manipulated her to say that, didn't you?"
Mayuzumi covered her mouth and chuckled without saying anything.
'I knew it.' Seiji's cheeks twitched.
Then, he took out his cell phone and took some pictures.
Mayuzumi tried summoning other characters, but all of them failed. Currently, she could only summon Idelia's appearance.
When it was about time, Seiji said goodbye and left. Before he left, he told Mayuzumi to contact him if anything happened.
Saki was quite interested in Idelia. She said that she wanted to spend the night with Idelia and have some fun … no, see how things went.
What would happen if an editor and mangaka spent the night together with their story's characters?
Seiji imagined all sorts of random things as he returned to his home.
…
"What did you say to my older sister?"
Seiji received this question after he received Hana's contact and had a video chat with her.
Seiji gave a general explanation of what he had discussed with Yui.
The cat-eared hat girl fell silent.
"I intend to do as Yui said and gather Spirit-branded Retainers, create a team, and create my own faction to fight against her," Seiji continued. "I'll begin after my duel with Akira Mitarai."
"… You've gone around in circles, but aren't you still going to do the same thing as I said before?" Hana pouted.
"It's the same. But with that type of conversation, it should be much easier." Seiji smiled.
"Hmph!" The cat-eared hat girl snorted proudly.
"At any rate, please take good care of me in the future, my aide-de-camp."
"What did you say?"
"Aide-De-Camp." Seiji smiled. "Although I've already set the goal of creating a Spirit-branded Retainer team, I don't know the specifics. I can only rely on you, my dear younger sister."
Hana was rendered speechless.
"I've seen through you. No matter how many Awakened or Neo Human titles you have, you're still a scumbag at your core. It's just that you're scumbag in a different direction than before," Hana spoke in the tone of a sage who knew the world.
"Eh? Why did you suddenly say that? "
"Think about it yourself!"
"I don't understand … is there a problem with asking you to be my aide-de-camp? I need your guidance, as well as your support. This is a position that only belongs to you, "Seiji told her sincerely.
Hana felt a strange feeling welling up in her chest when she heard the words "only belongs to you" and saw Seiji's sincere expression of trust. She felt an indescribable irritation.
