Later that night, Seiji received a message from Hana.
"That pair of daggers is a spiritual artifact created by the Messengers. Those people you met were members of the Messengers," the cat-eared hat girl reported. "The Messengers are actually a new faction that split off from Soul World. They were created by some Soul World members who believe in using any means necessary to achieve their goals."
This was a lot of information!
"… Did Sister Yui tell you this information?" Seiji inquired.
"That's right. Sister told me that she's a member of Soul World." Hana calmly told him what should have been an incredible secret.
"She probably told me her identity because she doesn't need to keep it a secret anymore."
"Yeah."
"Will she become one of Soul Society's higher-ups in the future?"
"I don't know, but I think it's highly likely."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"The Messengers are an evil organization that split off from Soul World, and Soul Society is a righteous organization … right?" Seiji folded his arms.
"I think that it's more appropriate to compare them to the forces of Order and Chaos." Hana also folded her arms.
"That's true … so it's a classic development of the battle between Order and Chaos in the future?"
"That depends on the Messengers' goal."
"Sister Yui doesn't know their goal either?"
"She didn't say. She only said that the one who created the Messengers was someone who would use any means necessary."
Using any means necessary usually meant that the Messengers didn't care about any harm or damage. No matter what goal the Messengers wanted to achieve, the fact that they were "using any means necessary" meant that they were considerably dangerous.
It was truly unfortunate for Seiji to have a grudge against such a faction … but perhaps it was inevitable.
"What about the others? Is there anything special about those daggers? "
"They're special weapons for the Awakened. They're capable of absorbing and storing energy from Inner World spiritual creatures and sending it to the wielder. It's worth noting that the energy transfer mechanism is controlled. Someone else apart from the wielder can use the control mechanism to adjust the energy output of the mechanism. "
"So, this is a weapon that can be controlled by someone else?"
"That's right. This design allows the wielder to control the wielder. As long as someone has the control mechanism, they can destroy the weapon with a press of a button, or make the weapon instantly release the maximum amount of energy. It doesn't matter what the wielder wants. "
Seiji recalled the scene at the time.
Those three people didn't become abnormal due to their own will. Perhaps it was due to the person behind them …
It was a pity that Seiji was unable to kill that Spiritual Ability user and the other Awakened.
Seiji felt sorry for the three people who were controlled by the Messengers. He also realized the true nature of the Messengers.
"Anything else?"
"That's all about the dagger. There's also something else about Amami's combat uniform." Hana paused for a moment. "The damage on it was highly likely caused by a spiritual weapon."
"… Everything?" Seiji had a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, everything."
The scene fell silent again.
More than three hours had passed, and his spiritual weapon had caused all sorts of damage … could it be that Hoshi had gone to battle against a large group of Spiritual Ability users!?
How many people did they have? What faction? What was the result? This was a very important question.
However, the person in question had lost his memory!
It would have been fine if he had only fought against spiritual monsters, but losing his memories after fighting against a human wasn't funny at all.
"We need to think of a way to help Hoshi recover his memories. Otherwise, we won't even know what trouble he caused." Seiji sighed.
"It's possible that he met with another group from the Messengers and went on a killing spree," Hana casually guessed.
"… That's a possibility. But, we can only be certain if he remembers."
It would be better if Hoshi had fought against another group from the Messengers. After all, he had already killed three of their members. At most, he would have offended them a bit more … the important part was whether or not Hoshi's face was seen!
The Messengers were created by Soul World members who were inclined towards Chaos. Going against them would be no laughing matter. If Hoshi's face was exposed, that would be a tremendous danger!
'I might as well load.' Seiji had such a thought.
But when he recalled Hoshi's words, he could only sigh.
'I'll try to help this idiot junior of mine recover his memories and see what happens next.'
…
Hoshi sat under a tree and watched the beautiful flowers as tiny butterflies danced around.
A light breeze blew by, causing the flowers to sway slightly and give off a sweet fragrance. Bright red leaves floated down … The scenery and atmosphere were so beautiful that Hoshi wanted to be intoxicated.
He heard an ethereal singing voice. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a blonde girl who had appeared nearby at some unknown time.
Hoshi quietly looked at her and listened to her song. He felt as if his soul had been cleansed. He no longer had any distracting thoughts, and his mind was incredibly calm.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps.
Hoshi turned around and saw a group of people wearing all sorts of clothing and holding blood-red weapons or guns.
Their bodies were giving off a faint black, gray, or red mist. This made Hoshi feel rather uncomfortable. He felt like they didn't fit in with this beautiful place.
The blonde girl also looked in their direction and stopped singing.
Then, these people did something. A dense gray mist instantly appeared, causing the air to swiftly become chilly.
The flowers lost their color and withered in large patches. The butterflies all fell to the ground and transformed into dust.
Even the tall red-leafed trees started losing their vitality at a visible rate. Their branches started losing their color, and their leaves started falling off … In the end, they became incredibly ugly and even frighteningly withered.
After that, these people left.
They destroyed the beauty and peace of this place and left just like that.
Anger rose up within Hoshi's heart.
He looked towards the blonde girl. Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could sense her sadness.
Hoshi then witnessed this scene repeat itself over and over again.
At first, the girl didn't do anything. But later, she was too sad and decided to hide the garden.
Yet, these people still managed to find and destroy the garden. It was evident that they had their own methods of searching for it.
Left with no other choice, she started actively chasing these people away.
But even if she chased them away, they would soon return with even stronger allies!
The blonde girl had a difficult and sad time fighting against these people.
She only wanted to maintain her garden, but these people always brought destruction and caused the entire world to darken.
Hoshi's anger reached its peak as he witnessed all of this.
Just chasing them away wasn't enough. He had to kill them!
Only by killing them would they never return.
As if she sensed his anger, the girl looked towards him and slowly reached out with her small hand.
Hoshi reached out, touched her hand, and lightly held it.
It was cool, soft, and smooth … it felt wonderful to the touch.
But that wasn't important. The important part was that he was finally able to touch her.
Hoshi gripped her hand tightly and transmitted his will to her.
'I'll help you.
I'll protect your garden and your home! I'll make these people who brought destruction pay the price!! '
The girl sensed his will and her mouth arced upwards into a moving smile.
Then she opened her mouth and said something.
Hoshi didn't know what language this was, but he mysteriously understood the meaning.
