It was time for the cherry blossoms to bloom.
Although it was already spring, people didn't truly feel spring until they saw the cherry blossoms.
Spring cherry blossoms … Appreciating cherry blossoms was something that everyone in Sakura Island would do. It was even more enjoyable to have a picnic in the park with friends and family.
After leaving the hospital, Seiji suggested having a picnic and cherry blossoms together. Mika and the others agreed, and they soon arranged a time.
He was looking forward to this classic activity that would often appear in anime and manga. But before he could enjoy his daily enjoyment, there was still something he needed to do.
By the river.
Seiji arrived at the agreed location and saw that Kaori was already waiting for him.
Just as Mika had said, Seiji felt that her aura had completely changed when he saw her in person.
Even though she was only wearing a simple one-piece dress and jacket, she still had a seductive charisma. Her seemingly normal smile seemed to contain a hint of ambiguity, and a dark light seemed to flash in her eyes.
This beautiful girl with large breasts would definitely be eye-catching on the streets, especially men. She seemed like a completely different person from the chubby girl he had met before.
"Good morning, Kaori."
"Good morning, Seigo."
Seiji looked at her for a while.
"Are you really alright?"
"That's what I think."
"Even though so many days have passed …"
"I wasn't trying to be brave at all." Kaori smiled. "I think it's because my endurance is much higher than my older sister's."
Seiji fell silent.
"She's obviously being affected by the demon energy," Yomi told him. Yomi told Seiji. "This state is no longer just 'high endurance.' It's' currently adapting. '" Seiji nodded.
"Adapting …"
"She's accepting the demon energy and adapting to the demon's power. This is a sign that she's about to merge with a demon."
"What will happen if she merges with a demon?" Seiji inquired.
"She'll transform into a demon, or obtain a demon's power. The former will be no different from having her body taken over by a demon. Although the latter will retain her sense of self, her personality will likely greatly change, and she'll basically become a completely different person. " The female spirit explained. "Of course, there's also the possibility that the merges will fail, causing her to go insane, get injured, or even die."
"Is it possible to stop her if I transfer the demon energy out right now?"
"Yes. If this girl is willing. "
Seiji shook his hand.
"Kaori … you're accepting demonic energy, aren't you?"
The girl's expression froze for a moment.
"What does accepting demonic energy mean?"
"It means that you don't reject the demon's power, but instead want to obtain it."
Kaori tilted her head slightly.
"I'm not trying to get anything. I'm just bearing it for my sister."
Seiji stared at her.
"Really?" he asked in a low voice.
Something flashed in Kaori's eyes.
"Of course it's true … However, if the power of the Fiendish Demons can be obtained, then I want it."
"Why?"
"Because I want to become someone like you, Seigo." Kaori looked at him. "A special person with extraordinary powers."
"You don't have to become like me," Seiji said.
"But I want this."
"You've been negatively affected by the demonic energy …"
"No, I'm quite clear-headed. This is my own wish." Kaori spoke in a sincere tone. "I want to become special. I want to get closer to you, Seigo, just like Mika."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I'm envious of Mika, and I'm envious of Chiaki, because they're both special," Kaori told him.
"Mika is a Spiritual Ability user just like you. And although Chiaki isn't a Spiritual Ability user, she's quite charismatic. Just as you, Seigo, said at the time, 'such a person definitely won't be lacking in scenes.' She's a girl with a very prominent presence.
And I'm not a Spiritual Ability user, nor do I have any charisma or presence … I've been like this ever since I was young.
I've actually always been envious … no, jealous of my sister. That's because my sister is perfect, a special existence, while I'm just an ordinary person. I feel depressed because I can't compare to my sister. I'm just an ugly mortal who hates her out of jealousy.
It wasn't until you encouraged me that I became slightly more spirited.
But, that's still no good … I can't reach your side. Although we've become friends, we're still only friends. I can't get along with you like Mika and Chiaki, nor can I be like President Wanhua …
"I know that I shouldn't think too much about it. Since I'm an ordinary person, I should just be content with being an ordinary person and work hard within the boundaries of an ordinary person, but …
"I still want to become special!" Blood-red runes appeared in Mika's eyes.
"That's why I want even the demon's power.
If my sister can't handle it, then I'll accept it!! "
"Kaori …" Seiji didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this and looking into her eyes.
Everyone fell silent.
The blood-red runes in Kaori's eyes faded.
"Please don't transfer the demon energy back to my sister, Seigo." She lowered her head and pleaded. "I want it … no matter what the result is, I won't regret it."
"That's the demon's power we're talking about. Even if you can obtain it, it's highly likely that you won't be you anymore." Seiji sighed.
"You won't regret it, but what about others?"
"This isn't just about you, Kaori … if something happens to you, what will your sister think?"
"She'll think that she's the one who harmed you! She'll bear a heavy burden of guilt. "
"Also, your parents, your friends … including me, Mika, and Chiaki, none of us want to see anything happen to you, nor do we want to see you become someone else!"
"Kaori Miyamoto is an ordinary person, but so what?"
"Your sister, parents, your friends, and even us, that's the type of Kaori that we know. We don't think that's bad at all."
"Rather than taking such a huge risk to become special, I'd rather that you, Kaori, can peacefully grow up as an ordinary person. I believe that everyone else wants this as well."
'Give up.' Seiji made this request with his gaze.
Kaori lifted her head and smiled.
"Thank you for being worried about me, Seigo."
"But I don't think that doing this is that dangerous, because I haven't felt much pain yet. I believe that I'll be able to obtain it."
"Please believe in me … I believe that you'll believe in me."
Everyone fell silent once again.
"You should think about it a little longer," Seiji tried to convince her. "If you fail, your body will be taken over by a demon, or … you'll die. Even if you succeed, your personality will likely change because of this. Is this really worth it? "
"You don't believe in me?" Kaori looked directly into his eyes.
'This question is against the rules!'
Seiji found it difficult to respond when he recalled what he told her before.
"Of course I believe in you … but I need to say what I need to say! It's impossible that I'll just say 'fine' and ignore you after seeing that you want to take a risk, "Seiji spoke in a heavy tone.
"Then just look at me," Kaori spoke in a gentle tone.
"If I become a demon, kill me.
If I die in pain, mourn me. "
