"How are you feeling, Seiji?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired …"
After parting ways with Miyuki, the physically and mentally exhausted Seiji returned to the student council president's residence. He saw Summer Night and the others waiting for him, and explained the situation to them.
"… Similar things might happen again in the future. We need to be on guard.
Soul Society will deal with Inner Worlds after it officially starts operating. We still don't know the specifics yet.
Soul Society will probably make more information about Inner Worlds public in the future. If you want to know more, you'll have to join Soul Society … that's what she said. "
Seiji told him the information that Miyuki told him before she left.
"She's a member of Soul Society, or should I say a preparatory member, right?" Summer Night inquired.
Seiji nodded. It was quite easy to infer this from what Miyuki said just now.
"Although I'm grateful to her for dealing with that Inner World, the timing of her appearance was far too coincidental … I suspect that this incident might have something to do with her." Natsuya folded her arms. "Or perhaps she's targeting you."
"I have such a feeling." Seiji sighed.
Actually, it wasn't just a feeling. He was being targeted! He just didn't know to what extent.
It would be an honor to be noticed by a national idol … not at all.
Miyuki Sakuraku was no ordinary person. It was difficult to say whether being targeted by her was a blessing or a curse. The only thing that could be confirmed right now was that she had no ill intentions and counted as an ally.
"Isn't she really beautiful?" Summer Night suddenly asked while looking at Seiji's face.
"Er … yes." A top beauty in the entertainment industry would probably only appear once every ten thousand years in his previous life.
"Do you want to add her to your harem?" Summer Night narrowed her eyes.
Seiji hurriedly shook his head.
"Not at all! I just objectively think that she's beautiful. "
"Is that really all? You don't like her at all?"
"… Just a little."
He liked her as an idol, but this was related to her identity, so he couldn't say it out loud!
Summer Night's eyes were cold, and the gazes of Little Shi and Hitaka, who were watching silently, also became cold, which made Seiji feel a little pain.
"Although I knew you were like this … I still have to remind you not to be used by others too easily." Summer Night sighed after staring at her boyfriend for a while.
"I'll be careful." Seiji could only say that.
…
"Derived Skill: Douji Slash"
"Special weapon skill. Allow the White Calamity to create a humanoid spirit body and attach it to your body. You can only use it when wielding a sword or saber-type weapon. You'll be able to unleash a strike that contains extremely powerful ghost-slaying power. When used, Psionic Energy, mental strength, and physical strength will be consumed. The power of the attack depends on the total amount of Psionic Energy consumed. Can only be used once a day — Behead a ghost with a human's blade! "
This "derivative skill" was added to the Character Reward Card [Shika Kagura] after the first skill, [White Calamity].
Did this mean that the Character Card had leveled up? Seiji wondered to himself.
It would seem that the Character Card wasn't absolutely unchanging. New skills would be added to it based on his understanding, or it might change due to other factors.
In other words, even if it had the potential to level up, it also had the risk of being downgraded … right?
"Once obtained, it'll be permanent. It can't be used again, and it won't be lost. However, it doesn't mean that it won't change." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation. "If it's downgraded — and a strange or even negative skill appears — it'll be the same as me receiving a debuff that I can't get rid of."
Powerful equipment had the possibility of becoming cursed equipment. Seiji was surprised to find such a scammer hidden in the system. You're really something, system.
System: "As long as you don't downgrade, I'm counting on you!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
A possibility was just a possibility. As long as he didn't do anything stupid and didn't let his Character Card become strange, there wouldn't be any problems.
In comparison, having the ability to level up was a great thing. Although the new [Douji Slash] had a lot of restrictions, it was incredibly powerful. It was a sure-kill technique against vicious demons.
As for the other technique, [Shadow Slash], it was a martial arts technique that was highly effective against all spiritual creatures. It also required a lot of mana, and it could be upgraded after increasing his proficiency level.
Seiji believed that this was actually a low-level version of [Douji Slash]! In the end, it was highly likely that it would be a martial arts technique that didn't require [White Calamity] as a prerequisite, nor did it have a limit on the number of times it could be used.
'Thank you for teaching me, Light-chan.' Once again, he thanked the heroic spirit in his heart.
After this incident, he was both mentally and physically exhausted, but he also learned a lot from it.
'It's the weekend now. I should have a good rest.'
…
On Sunday morning, the air was fresh, and the sun was bright. It was perfect for going out.
"Have fun. It's fine if you don't come back tonight ~" Chiaki smiled like an older sister who cared about her younger sister-in-law.
"We'll be back."
Seiji and Mika went on a date at the aquarium.
Last night, when Mika mentioned that she wanted to go to the aquarium, Seiji had a subtle expression as he recalled the previous Inner World.
The pigtailed girl could tell what he was thinking. She told him that it was precisely because she had fallen into that abnormal dimension that she wanted to go to a normal aquarium.
The two of them walked to the station and took the streetcar.
There were many people on the streetcar at this time of day, so it was quite crowded.
Seiji and Mika were standing in a corner, almost sticking to each other.
The pigtailed girl was wearing a knitted top, a short skirt, and white stockings today. She was pretty and moving. She wasn't very stunning, but she was very pleasing to the eye. She had the charisma to attract men's attention.
Looking at his cute girlfriend in front of him, Seiji subtly moved even closer to her.
Mika's face was slightly red as she leaned against him.
Feeling her soft touch and warmth, Seiji recalled all sorts of tram-related content in his mind. Then, he hurriedly stopped himself before the urge in his body rose!
With a beautiful girlfriend by his side, even if it was a crowded streetcar, he would still be happy … happy.
After arriving at the station, they got off and walked to the Oceanic Island Aquarium.
This was also a rather famous place with many visitors. Compared to the Empire World amusement park, there were fewer families and more couples.
The two of them bought tickets and entered the aquarium. They followed the tour route and observed the various sea creatures in each aquarium.
After experiencing the abnormal, they were able to experience the charm of normal … Without even mentioning anything else, just not having to worry about any creatures attacking them was already quite good.
There were extravagant lionfish, mighty lobsters, cute little eels, sparkling white jellyfish …
Seiji and Mika were gradually attracted by all sorts of beautiful creatures. They took pictures as mementos, chatted and laughed, and were immersed in a happy atmosphere.
Then, they saw this aquarium's signature aquarium, the "Blue Charm Sea"!
This aquarium's height … more accurately speaking, the display window was as tall as a three-story building and more than twenty meters wide. Many different creatures swam in the aquarium, including whale sharks that were nearly ten meters long! And there was more than one.
This was the largest aquarium in all of Sakura Island. It was rated as the most impressive exhibit by all visitors, regardless of gender, age, or gender.
Objectively speaking, the aquarium was indeed astonishing. However, for Seiji and Mika who had been to such Inner Worlds before, it wasn't that shocking.
They had encountered vicious monsters that were over ten meters long, had the upper body of a crocodile, and the lower body of a cuttlefish. It was difficult for them to be shocked by a large shark like normal people.
However, they also felt that the aquarium was beautiful.
Although there were many creatures in the aquarium, it didn't seem messy at all. All sorts of postures and colors seemed quite harmonious. When the whale shark elegantly swam past the display window, the visitors all exclaimed in amazement and children's shouts. Many people took out their cell phones and kept taking pictures.
