It was a woman wearing a dress … more accurately, a female Spirit-branded Retainer!
She wasn't wearing an ordinary spiritual combat uniform. Instead, she was wearing the uniform of a Spirit-branded Retainer. Her powerful strength and oppressive aura were more than enough to prove this.
The windbreaker-wearing man was the same. A man and a woman, two Spirit-branded Retainers … Just which major character would be so generous as to send out such a lineup?
It was as if a mecha had entered a battlefield with soldiers. It would be an overwhelming victory.
Fujishima, who believed himself to be a mediocre fighter, didn't feel like he could fight against a Spirit-branded Retainer at all.
He could only surrender.
Although surrendering would be useless if the woman wanted to kill him, struggling and resisting would be even more foolish. Perhaps the woman didn't want to kill him in the first place, but her hand slipped or she used too much force, which would be …
As a weakling, he needed to have the attitude of a weakling.
Fujishima turned around and raised his hand as the female Spirit-branded Retainer approached him.
"I surrender …"
* Bang!! *
Before he could finish his words of surrender, he suffered a heavy blow.
It was the scabbard.
It seemed that the woman didn't intend to kill him … Fujishima's consciousness was drowned by intense pain as he thought this.
…
The rescue operation was easier than expected.
Little Anna memorized the enemy's license plate number and deduced the enemy's path based on the surveillance cameras on the road, which allowed Seiji to ambush them.
Both his and Little Shi's equipment had been provided by Hana. They had just arrived today, but he didn't expect that they would be able to use them so quickly.
What surprised him was that the enemy immediately chose to run away after being ambushed. They didn't counterattack at all.
Seiji captured the driver and had Little Shi capture the gunmen, so that they wouldn't be able to escape.
Seiji sealed their Spiritual Powers and tied them up in a nearby forest. He also tossed the broken car there. Then, he took the sleeping Kazuhiko Haiga and his luggage and drove away from the scene.
Feng Wu was the driver, and Tomohisa provided the car.
When Seiji asked Tomohisa to borrow the car and driver, Tomohisa told him that his younger sister was an excellent driver and that her driving skills were top-notch!
Seiji learned about the blonde teacher's hidden abilities and personally experienced them on the road.
She maintained the fastest speed the entire time, easily overtook other cars, and beautifully drifted around corners … this wasn't a female driver! It was a female racer!
"There was a period of time when I really liked to drive. I practiced on the mountain roads," Feng Wu explained with a smile.
Was that mountain road called Akiyama Road? Was there a racer with the surname Fujiwara? Seiji almost wanted to ask that.
In short, this was the True Knights' first mission. The process was quite smooth, but he still couldn't let his guard down.
Seiji contacted Hana and sent her the pictures he took of the enemies so that she could investigate the relevant information.
"Why are you investigating these two?"
"I'll explain it to you via video call later. Investigate first."
Seiji then brought Haiga to the temporary residence that Tomohisa had arranged for him. He set up a barrier that could block off any tracking spells, then dispelled Haiga's hypnosis spell and woke him up.
"… Harano Seigo?" Haiga recognized Seiji after he woke up.
"It's me, Haiga-san. Anna-san asked me to save you." Seiji handed Seiji his cell phone to Seiji. There was a conversation window with little Anna on it.
Haiga took the cell phone and glanced at it. He then typed some words and began chatting with little Anna.
"Thank you, Harano -san." A moment later, he thanked Seiji Mukai.
"No need to be so polite … Haiga-san, you need to stay here for the time being. You can't go outside, because the enemies might try to track you again. You'll only be able to avoid being tracked if you stay in this room with a barrier."
Haiga nodded in understanding.
"Harano -san … I'd like to ask you, what do you intend to have Anna do for you?"
Seiji knew that Haiga would ask this question, so he smiled.
"First, I want her to assist one of my business partners in making investments and earning money.
I won't have her work for free. I'll pay her a reasonable amount of money. Basically, I'll hire her to work for me.
After that, I'd like to ask her to help me make a game — a game that's different from 'Anna'. "
Haiga was rendered speechless.
"'Anna' won't be able to continue making games, but Anna-san can continue making games, as long as it's not in such a form." Seiji looked directly at the game designer before him.
"… What type of game would you like to make?"
“Galgame。”
Haiga was once again rendered speechless.
"Just joking." Seiji chuckled. "I'm currently working on a pretty girl game together with my companions. This project is voluntary participation, and I don't intend to ask Anna-san to join. I'd like to ask her to help me make a different game. I haven't thought about the specifics yet. "
"Investments and games … that's all?"
"I might ask her to do other things, but I'll definitely keep to my previous promise and not make any unreasonable requests."
Haiga took a deep look at the boy who had a calm expression.
"Thank you," Haiga said in a soft voice once again.
…
Hana found out that the two Spiritual Ability users were from the Watashima Family.
The Watashima Family was on the same level of power as the Wanhua Family. However, the Watashima Family was weaker than the Wanhua Family.
If the Watashima Family didn't give up and insisted on finding Kazuhiko Haiga, things would become quite troublesome.
Seiji decided to deal with it based on the situation. Seiji resolved himself.
The next day, the "Anna" game restarted.
However, the players soon discovered that the Anna character no longer had any spirituality. She had become an ordinary NPC. The players couldn't help but be greatly disappointed. They kept commenting on the game and gave up on it.
"Anna's gone. I'm going to die …" Chiaki was in a daze as she collapsed on the table with a pitiful expression.
She had been quite depressed after learning about the situation from Seiji last night. She was still like this even after one night. It seemed that she had received quite a shock.
"Find another game to play," Mika persuaded her.
"No … I want Anna … the Anna that belongs to me …" Chiaki muttered sadly.
Seiji looked at the tomboy beauty who had become a crippled person. He knew that her current behavior was only temporary, and that she would return to normal in a few days at most. However, he still couldn't bear to watch her like this.
And so, he went online on his cell phone and contacted little Anna to explain the situation.
"Have her install the game app that I modified. That way, I'll be able to continue communicating with her," little Anna told him.
"Are you really willing? This is a risky move. "
"I'm willing. Chiaki Wakaba Kagura is a player that I'm paying special attention to."
"Why are you paying special attention to her?" Seiji asked curiously.
Little Anna fell silent for a moment.
"I don't know … for an indescribable reason, I believe that observing her is very valuable," the artificial intelligence told him.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
'What do these ambiguous words mean?
I feel like they have that kind of meaning … I'm probably just imagining things, right? '
"Thank you for being willing to do this."
"No need to thank me. This is something that I'm happy to do."
Afterwards, it was time for lunch break.
Seiji sent the modified game app to Chiaki.
"What is this?"
"Something that will allow you to see Anna again."
Chiaki widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing this.
"Seigo …"
Seiji lifted a finger to his lips, indicating for her to remain silent.
"This is a secret that no one else can know about."
A brilliant smile slowly appeared on Chiaki's face as she looked at his handsome face.
"Seigo, I'll love you for the rest of my life!" Just like yesterday, she passionately confessed to him once again.
Mika was rendered speechless.
"There's no need to love me. Just thank Anna. She was willing to do this for you so that you could see her again," Seiji told her.
"Anna …" Chiaki immediately installed the game app and opened it.
"Welcome back, Chiaki," the black-haired, red-eyed beauty said in a gentle voice as she appeared on the cell phone's screen.
"I should be the one saying that … Welcome back, Anna!" The tomboy's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke emotionally.
Anna's expression froze over for a moment.
"Yeah … I'm back."
