Since Seiji didn't explain his own abilities, he would only be able to give Yui limited information.
If it was really necessary, Seiji was aware that he would have to reveal his ability, but he did not want to do so as much as possible, because it might lead to unexpected situations — he had a faint feeling that it would.
Even if he ignored his premonition for now, after personally witnessing Soul Society's destruction, it would be quite difficult for him to trust Soul Society as much as before.
Although he hadn't trusted Soul Society that much to begin with, Soul Society's inability to stop that calamity caused his trust in Soul Society to drop to rock bottom.
The scene of the destruction of the city was extremely beautiful. Millions of lives were lost in the rain of flowers. It was extremely cruel … Just thinking about it made Seiji feel a chill down his spine.
He didn't want to think about it at all, but the image had already been deeply imprinted in his mind. It would appear clearly at the slightest touch.
No one would know what he had seen. Nothing had happened yet. That beauty and cruelty belonged only to him.
Was he the only one who was saved, or was he the only one who wasn't?
Only God knew.
Seiji didn't want to think about this anymore.
He had to move forward.
It would seem that Yui had already thought of something. She would probably come up with a plan to change the outcome of Voidfire's operation.
If everything went smoothly, that would be enough … but would it go that smoothly?
No.
Seiji was unable to convince himself that having Yui and Soul Society increase their defenses would prevent such a cruel scene from happening again.
He had to do more.
"By the way, let's say that my hunch is wrong, and the plan will not be hindered, but will there be a problem with it?" Seiji then asked, "I know this is different from the Bloodwine Ritual, but will something like that really not happen again?"
Yui remained silent.
Maybe she was still thinking, or maybe she didn't want to answer.
"Let's assume that nothing goes wrong with the plan, and that we can smoothly sacrifice several thousand lives to locate the Realm of Cherry Blossoms," Seiji continued. "But is this really a good idea?"
"Thousands of lives, eight feet of jewel, it looks like a very simple multiple-choice question."
"But that's a human life after all. It's a life that's gone once it's dead."
"Soul Society was able to sacrifice several thousand people this time, but what about next time? Tens of thousands? What about the next time? A few hundred thousand? "
"I know that this sounds extreme, but Soul Society is willing to sacrifice a large number of ordinary people as long as it's beneficial. Will such a Soul Society really be alright?"
"Although the Yasakani no Magatama is precious and is a divine artifact that protects a nation, it is still an inanimate object, a tool."
"The item should be used by humans, not sacrificing humans to protect the item. That's what I think."
"Perhaps this kind of thinking is too naive, but what's wrong with being naive? As a new faction, Soul Society should be separated from the old factions. Sacrificing thousands of ordinary people's lives in order to protect a single God Equipment? How is such an action any different from those old and rotten factions? "
Something flickered in Yui's eyes, but she remained silent.
"Do you agree with me, Sister Yui?" Seiji asked directly.
"It doesn't matter whether I agree or not," Yui spoke in a soft voice.
Soul Society had already made their decision, and there was no way to change it.
"It's meaningful." Seiji's eyes flashed. "If you agree, then tell me about the Yasakani no Magatama. Perhaps I can change my mind …"
Yui heard this and looked at him with a sharp gaze.
"You want me to betray Soul Society?"
"Whether or not this counts as betrayal depends on you." Seiji directly accepted Yui's sharp gaze.
The atmosphere became incredibly heavy.
"You won't be able to change anything. Don't be so arrogant."
"Perhaps, but how will you know if you don't try?"
"You won't be able to bear the price of trying."
"Whether or not I can bear the price is up to me."
"Don't think that just because you did well before, you can still try to be brave this time." Yui's tone became severe.
Seiji fell silent for a moment before he smiled.
"Thank you for worrying about me, Sister Yui."
"But don't treat me like a child. I know what I'm doing," Seiji spoke seriously.
"No, you don't." Yui denied this. "You don't understand Soul Society's power at all."
"Indeed, I don't understand much. But even if I did, what I'm going to do won't change." Seiji was resolute.
"Why? What's in it for you? "
It wasn't a question of whether or not there were benefits. It was that if this continued, the end result would be destruction.
"I already told you the reason. I have an ominous premonition." Seiji sighed. "This cruel plan, Kamitani's actions, the Messengers, and Soul Society … I'm afraid that things will develop incredibly badly if this continues. It's just like a large ship. Everyone believes that it will at most encounter a fierce storm, but they don't know that there's an unavoidable iceberg ahead of it. "
"That's because you're too anxious," Yui told him.
"Or, you're too arrogant. You always believe that if you don't do anything, things will become worse. You think of yourself as the savior of the world.
You indeed created a miracle before, but you shouldn't be so engrossed in it.
Miracles won't happen again. There aren't so many things in the world that you need to do. You're not the savior of the world. Don't worry too much. "
'Don't be arrogant.' She told him this.
Seiji could only smile wryly in his heart.
If possible, he didn't want to be "arrogant" either!
He knew better than anyone that he wasn't the savior of the world.
He was simply forced to do something because he saw a terrible ending.
"Just treat it as me being arrogant. No matter what the reason is, I indeed have an ominous premonition. That's why I'm unable to convince myself not to do anything. " Seiji spoke up. "Please say something to your arrogant, anxious, foolish, and ignorant younger brother. At the very least, can't you pacify him a little, Sister Yui?"
Yui was rendered speechless.
Seiji was shamelessly asking for information.
For a moment, she really wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
"No." She hardened her heart and spoke in a cold tone.
"Can't I even hug your leg and beg you?" Seiji looked at Yui's beautiful legs.
Yui's face reddened slightly as she thought of such a scene. She averted her gaze.
"That's even worse. I'll kick you out of the car."
"I'll hug you really tightly."
"It's not a matter of hugging you or not!"
"Then, how about I lick your leg instead?"
"Get lost!"
"I was just joking …" Seiji chuckled. "Sister Yui, please give me a way to contact you in an emergency. A way that I can immediately contact you in any situation."
Yui remained silent.
"Er … if you're angry because of my joke just now, I apologize." Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
"Seiji … just what exactly do you know?" Yui looked at him again and asked him in a serious tone.
Seiji blinked upon hearing this.
As expected, this older sister of his was quite sensitive … no, sharp.
"I don't know much. I really do have a terrible premonition, so I want to be prepared," Seiji answered.
Yui looked directly at his face.
Seiji responded calmly.
"The cell phone I gave you has a hidden special communication function. I originally wanted you to discover it yourself," Yui explained. She then told him how to activate the function.
"Even if your cell phone runs out of battery, you can use this function to contact me even if you're in the Inner World.
