"She's not human." Seiji put on a sad expression as he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"Eh?"
"She only has the appearance of a human. She's a simple doll without a heart." Seiji spoke as if he was reciting a line from the human bible.
Tomohisa was rendered speechless.
"Cough, I suddenly wanted to pretend. But the content is real, and the Rheia in the picture isn't a real person. "Seiji returned to his normal expression." That's why I can't introduce you to her. My apologies. "
"Oh..." Tomohisa paused for a moment.
"Then, how much for a doll like this?" Seiji adjusted his eyeglasses, causing his lenses to flash.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I'd like one as well if I could, but unfortunately, she's priceless. There's only one of her in the entire world."
"I see. What a pity."
Tomohisa didn't ask any more questions and put the picture away like it was a treasure.
"There's something I'd like to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Another strange 'medicine' has appeared."
Seiji's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Strange "medicine"... he recalled the mysterious medicine that Okubo used in the past.
Later on, Summer Night mentioned that this strange medicine was highly likely to have come from a member of Soul World!
"What are the specifics?"
"I heard that it's dark red in color and feels soft to the touch. It looks like something made of soft candy," Tomohisa explained.
"After eating it, the user will feel their body heat up, and they'll feel a strange sense of pleasure as well as hazy hallucinations.
"And to a bystander, the user's breathing will become very weak, and their body will become ice-cold as if they're dead.
"Taking one pill at a time will last for about ten minutes. Taking two pills at a time will last for about an hour. Taking three or more pills will last for more than seven hours. "
"Seven hours..." Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.
"After such a long period of time, the user will be in a daze for several hours after they wake up. They'll look like they've stayed up all night, and they'll have dark circles and bloodshot eyes."
This reminded Seiji of the people he met at noon.
He told her what had happened. Hisashi felt that it was highly likely that those men were heavy users of the drug.
"The price of this' medicine 'is not cheap, but due to its excellent effect, it is slowly spreading."
"Where is the seller?"
"I'm looking for it."
"Be careful."
"I know."
This new "medicine" was different and similar to the one Okubo used. Perhaps it was a modified or upgraded version?
Who was it, and for what purpose did they spread it?
With doubts, Seiji called Summer Night.
"The second mysterious drug … I'll send someone to investigate it," President Grand Mistress said after hearing the situation.
"If this is related to the members of the Soul World, then there's no need for us to deal with it. Just leave it to the higher-ups."
"Currently, there is no progress in the investigation of the Midnight incident. As long as there's even the slightest trace of a member of the Soul World, they won't let it go. "
After the call ended, Seiji put away his phone and looked at Tomohisa.
"Perhaps there's an incredibly powerful mastermind behind this incident, but if that's the case, we won't have to worry about it anymore. There will be a powerful figure of the same level to deal with it."
"High-level monsters will be dealt with by high-level players, right?"
"That's right. That's why you absolutely shouldn't force yourself. If you discover anything, notify me immediately. "
"Got it." Tomohisa nodded.
…
Running into a drug addict while happily shopping was a typical example of daily abnormal encounters.
Seiji didn't know what would happen in the future. But judging from the current situation, he would need to become stronger if he wanted to continue living happily.
To protect himself, his friends, and everything he wanted to protect, there was no other way apart from possessing power.
A young man desired power!
And so, he gathered his companions and formed a team, becoming stronger as a group and pursuing an even stronger realm.
And this was the beginning of the legend of the Yin-Yang Master Haruta Seiji —
"Hey, don't casually add narration for me!"
"I'm not casually doing it; I'm doing it seriously, and I even prepared some background music."
"I don't want to — hurry and stop!"
Seiji stopped Chiaki's strange behavior.
"Don't you think that this will make the atmosphere better?"
"This isn't an anime!"
"Perhaps it'll be animated in the future."
"It's not like this is a light novel!"
"I hope that I can keep the 3D characters and animate them."
"This isn't a dating sim either!"
For some unknown reason, Seiji felt a subtle sensation in his heart after making such a comment.
Perhaps this world really was … No, no! Stop!!
He forcefully stopped his erratic thoughts and faced reality.
It was currently Sunday, and he was about to go out and meet with his team members.
This meeting was the first full team meeting, and it signified the official establishment of his Spirit-branded Retainer team.
"We're going out now. Please take care of Little Ling Yang."
"Leave it to me!"
Seiji had Chiaki accompany Ling Yang to look after the house while Seiji, Little Shi, Mika, and Feng Wu all went out together to the agreed upon meeting location — a high-class Sakura Island restaurant named "Lucky Moon Restaurant." This restaurant was owned by the Himiki Family, and was a popular meeting place for Spiritual Ability users.
If this restaurant's name was changed by even a single word, Seiji would have been tempted to ask if this restaurant had a "Medicine King."
The four of them arrived at the restaurant, entered a reserved room, and waited while sipping tea.
The first to arrive was Tomohisa.
"Good afternoon, everyone." He greeted everyone as he glanced at Seiji and his younger sister. His gaze then fell upon Shika Kagura and Mika.
"This is my older brother, Tomohisa Juumonji. His username is Sweet Cream Sweet Pork," Feng Wu introduced him.
"This humble one is the First Knight! It's my honor to join Milord's True Knight Order!! "Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses and made a pretentious pose.
Mika was rendered speechless.
Although this was the first time she had ever met him, she instantly compared him to that amusing … whoops, rather strange member of the Seiji Family on the internet.
"This is Mika Uehara. Her username is Blue Bird of the Blue Sky," Feng Wu continued her introductions.
"Hello, Sixth Knight!"
"Hello … Juumonji-san," Mika greeted him.
"This is Shika Kagura, Seiji's adopted younger sister."
"Hello, Knight of Zero!"
Knight of Zero?
Shika Kagura blinked in surprise. Seiji, who was beside her, also blinked in surprise.
"Because Kagura-san is the hidden character closest to Milord. She's both powerful and mysterious, which is why she's called Knight of Zero!" Tomohisa explained in a serious tone.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
That sounded quite appropriate, but this title was so unlucky!
"This isn't a good idea …" Seiji didn't want to be killed by Knight of Zero like Luo the Tyrant, so he wanted to stop this from happening.
But when he turned around, he saw that Little Shi's eyes were sparkling. She seemed to like the title.
"Hello, First Knight." She greeted him in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Seiji knew that his adopted younger sister truly approved of this title.
Knight of Zero, Shika Kagura, was born just like that!?
No, no, he should change it! This was so unlucky!!
But how should he say it? Should he directly say that it was ominous? That would hurt Little Shi Kagura's feelings.
Seiji thought about it for a moment but couldn't think of a suitable response.
