Use a special communication method to talk to me. "
Before Seiji could respond, Yui continued speaking before hanging up.
Seiji injected his Mana into his cell phone according to Yui's instructions and activated the special communication method.
"I didn't use my power. This was just a coincidence …" Seiji gave Yui a rough explanation of his encounter with Shigure Tendo in Seiji's spiritual world.
Yui then fell silent for a long while.
"Sister Yui?"
"I'm here." Yui did her best to control her emotions.
The situation that Seiji told her was far beyond her expectations. She took some time to calm down her emotional reaction.
To put it bluntly, he was shocked.
First of all, Shigure Tendo was still alive. This was good news.
No matter what condition his body was in right now, there was hope as long as he was still alive. Telling this to Raizen would definitely help him get excited.
The most important part was that Seiji had actually used his companions to form a connection with the "Evil White Goddess", the Cherry Blossom Calamity Goddess's soul clone. Seiji was even able to directly resist the Calamity Goddess's power!
Wakaba and Chiaki … Yui never expected that this "priest's descendant" would be able to do such a thing. Did the Messengers or Kamitani do something? Or was it purely because of Seiji's influence? Or was it a combination of both?
Yui couldn't be sure. Perhaps she would be able to find out if she investigated Wakaba and Chiaki, but she didn't have the time to do so right now. Besides, it was almost certain that Seiji would never agree to this.
He told her information about his important companions because he trusted her … perhaps he was also testing her.
Ever since they "first met", Yui had never underestimated this "younger brother" of hers. Up until now, Shigure appeared to be quite obedient towards her. However, Yui felt that most of this was just a temporary measure, or even a disguise.
Of course, it was also possible that this was his true feelings. However, with her position, it was impossible for her to completely trust him so easily.
This was a certain type of terrifying balance.
Although they seemed like a harmonious sibling duo, both of them were hiding deep, dark truths.
Yui speedily found the main point after discarding all her unnecessary thoughts.
"We are indeed investigating the Tendo Family," she told him.
"Shigure Tendo's situation was an accident caused by the investigation."
"It's good news that he's still alive. Thank you for telling me this, Seiji."
"You're welcome … May I know what you're investigating?" Seiji asked.
"The Tendo Family has a secret connection with the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. This is something that we've already confirmed. "It's highly likely that this connection was made through the Yasakani no Magatama, which means that it's highly likely that they did something to it. As for the specifics, that's what Soul Society will investigate next. "
Seiji was silent for a moment.
"The Tendo Family … is the main culprit behind everything?" Seiji asked in a heavy voice.
Yui could sense the emotions in his words.
"You don't need to worry about that. Soul Society will investigate this matter and solve the problem, "she told him.
"That's excellent …" Seiji paused for a moment. "Now that we've dealt with the Tendo Family's problem, will that cruel plan be canceled?"
Something flashed in Yui's eyes, but she didn't respond.
"These are two different things, aren't they?" Seiji continued.
"Even if we deal with the Tendo Family, that doesn't mean that the plan will be canceled, unless it's proven that the plan was part of the Tendo Family's scheme.
But this is a plan that Soul Society came up with … If they were scheming against the Tendo Family, you should have noticed something was wrong long ago. "
Yui remained silent as a tacit agreement.
Seiji also fell silent for a moment.
"I won't waste any more of your time. Thank you for being willing to tell me about the Tendo Family, Sister Yui." He was about to hang up after saying that.
"What exactly do you want to do, Seiji?" Yui spoke up first.
Seiji stopped what he was doing.
"Why are you suddenly asking?"
"Are you planning something? For example, contacting the Messengers and acting together with them?" Yui questioned him.
"I'm not," Seiji answered.
"It's good that you're still rational." Yui paused for a moment. "But, you do want to do something to stop that plan, right?"
Seiji didn't respond.
Yui waited.
"I am," Seiji answered calmly.
He could say that he wasn't. Actually, he indeed didn't have a plan. However, he did want to do something.
Soul Society had discovered that the Tendo Family's scheme originated from the Tendo Family and would do something to stop it. This was excellent. It seemed that the Destruction Path could be changed.
However, the plan to sacrifice thousands of lives to locate the Realm of Cherry Blossoms hadn't changed … not yet.
Perhaps in the end, they would discover that this plan was also part of the Tendo Family's scheme. Perhaps the plan would be changed as well. Nobody would die, and everyone would be happy.
However, Seiji felt that this was far too naive.
By the way, the Tendo Family was one of the seven major families. They were a tremendous existence. Even if Soul Society learned that the Tendo Family's scheme originated from the Tendo Family, it would still be a problem whether or not Soul Society would be able to stop it in time.
At any rate, Seiji wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do. Perhaps he really would have to ally with the Messengers in the end.
"I told you before that you're no savior."
"I remember."
"But, that might be because I underestimated you … no, I wanted to underestimate you." Yui sighed.
"For me, it would be best if you didn't do anything at all. But, that's obviously impossible.
That's why, if you really want to do something, then first complete the mission I gave you. "
"What mission?" Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
"Save Shigure Tendo," Yui stated in a heavy tone. "If you complete this mission, you'll receive a generous reward."
"What if I don't complete it?"
"Then you'll receive nothing at all. And, that proves that you're only so-so, and that you don't have the ability to save the victims."
If you're unable to even save a single life from the Catastrophe Goddess, how could you possibly dream of saving thousands of lives …? Yui's words seemed to contain such meaning.
Seiji fell silent yet again.
This time, before he could say anything else, Yui hung up.
Save Shigure Tendo.
This mission didn't seem to have anything to do with saving thousands of ordinary people's lives. However, this was a test to see if Seiji had the ability to save others under the threat of an Evil Goddess.
Only by passing this test would he have the right to take action. But, if he couldn't pass this test, then it would be best for him to obediently stay put.
Seiji never expected that Yui would give him such a mission.
Shigure Tendo was the younger brother of the person she had killed. Yet, she was saying that it was good news that Shigure was still alive, and she even wanted him to go save Shigure … just what was going on here?
Although he was a little concerned, the inside story wasn't important … No, it was actually quite important. It was just that he had missed the opportunity to ask.
The most important thing right now was whether or not to do this quest.
Seiji could choose not to do it.
Shigure Tendo wasn't related to Seiji at all. Whether or not he saved Shigure wouldn't affect anything. But to him, the thousands of ordinary people were the same.
There were people dying every minute and every second in the world, and it had nothing to do with him. Why should he care about the thousands of people who were going to be sacrificed?
Why couldn't he just give up on caring about it and stay quietly and obediently?
Seiji questioned himself and received the answer.
Not for justice, not for kindness, not for achievements, not for rewards …
Not for anything, just want to do it, so do it.
Just as a certain baldy said, "It's just a matter of interest"!
