Yui was here again.
Seiji didn't expect her to come back so soon.
This time, she did not enter the house but had him come out. In the car, she handed him a cylinder with black runes on it.
Kungo was stored inside the Soul Crystal, which was the spiritual body that Shigure had extracted from Shigure's body.
"Thank you." After receiving the cylinder, Seiji looked at her beautiful face. "You came all the way here not just to give this to me, right?"
"What do you intend to do with this?" Yui didn't answer his question.
"Gathering information … although it might not be of much use," Seiji answered.
He didn't want to tell them about the remnant soul because it involved absorbing Inner World Essence from the Totsuka Sword. He felt that it wouldn't be good if he told them about it.
Although Seiji didn't know exactly what Inner World Origin Substance was, judging from its name, it seemed to be an incredibly important special energy. Meanwhile, the Totsuka Swords were important evidence of the Tendo Family's scheme. The energy within the swords had been absorbed by his system and created a Soul Room that brought out a remnant soul … If he told everyone about this, Seiji had a premonition that he would be forcefully taken to Soul Society.
After all, this woman was a high-ranking member of Soul Society!
"If you obtain any useful information, tell me," Yui said while looking directly at Seiji's face.
It didn't matter what he used to obtain the information. The important thing was for her to know.
"I will."
Then there were three seconds of silence.
"Nothing else?" Seiji asked again.
Something flashed in Yui's eyes.
"The mastermind behind this scheme is the Tendo Family's leader, Sougo Tendo," she explained.
"We're preparing to take measures, but the chances of failure are high."
"The situation might completely go out of control and even lead to the destruction of this city."
"And this is what you foresaw when you first used your ability … right?"
Seiji remained silent and did not answer.
This was tantamount to acquiescence.
"You said before that I could call you whenever I needed your help," Yui continued. "Is that really alright?"
Of course.
Seiji wanted to reply, but before he could —
"No, you can't!" Yui suddenly rejected this idea. "You can't abuse your power."
"You've done well enough, Seiji."
"That's it … Take your people and leave this city."
This sudden turn of events caused Seiji to pause in surprise.
"Leave?"
"Yes, immediately."
"Why?"
"Because it's dangerous here."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Seiji looked directly at Yui as his tone became more serious. "Why?"
Why not use me?
What are you worried about in the face of the great danger of the city being destroyed? He conveyed the question with his eyes.
However, Yui averted her gaze.
"You don't need to know," she said softly.
At this moment, Seiji's heart surged with anger, but he immediately suppressed it.
"You need my help," he said.
"No, I don't need it."
"You do."
"No need."
"You need it! Stop lying. "
The atmosphere became a little tense.
Yui took a deep breath and then slowly turned around. A deep light flashed in her eyes.
"Who … do you think you are?"
Her tone was rather cold, and it seemed to contain an indescribable meaning.
"I'm Haruta Seiji," Seiji answered honestly. "I'm your family."
Yui remained expressionless at this answer.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone and answered the call.
"I'll be right back," she responded after hearing what Seiji said.
Then, Yui put away her cell phone and glanced over at Seiji.
"Get off."
Seiji didn't move. He simply looked at her.
"Is this really fine?"
"Get off." Yui didn't respond. Instead, she repeated herself coldly.
It was obvious that she was restraining herself from something.
"Give me a reason." Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"You're not a savior," Yui stated.
"Then are you?" Seiji questioned her.
"Neither am I," Yui stated softly.
"There shouldn't be a savior in this world.
"You've really done well enough."
That's why you should leave, Seiji. "
After Seiji got off the cell phone and returned to his room, Mika and the others wisely refrained from asking him what had happened after seeing his expression.
He placed the cylinder on the table, sat down on a chair, and folded his arms. He remained silent for a long while.
He could tell that Yui had wanted to ask for his help, but for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind.
"There shouldn't be a savior in this world …?"
Seiji didn't feel like this was wrong. However, since he had resolved himself, this sounded like a form of sarcasm.
He knew that Yui wasn't being sarcastic.
She seemed to be resisting.
However, he didn't know the reason.
No … she already told him the reason. What he didn't know was the deeper reason.
Seiji sighed. He felt rather helpless and fatigued.
Should he listen to her?
Of course, he could choose not to listen to her. He could stay here and continue fighting.
But, what could he change?
The mastermind behind this scheme was the Tendo Family's master! Even if he wanted to do something about this, he wouldn't be able to.
If Soul Society successfully dealt with the Tendo Family, the city would be fine. If not, it would be destroyed. It wouldn't matter if he stayed here or if he didn't do anything!
'No … I shouldn't think like this.' Seiji stopped himself from having such negative thoughts.
Then, he looked towards the cylinder.
'I should release this samurai first.'
Seiji stood up, picked up the cylinder, opened the door to his Spirit House, and walked inside.
He entered his soul room and saw the floating orb of light, the large gray ball quietly lying on the ground, and Summer Night, who was still attempting to communicate with the remnant souls.
"You're back." Summer Night looked towards him.
"Yeah. Did you find out anything?"
"Nothing." Summer Night shook her head and glanced at the large gray ball quietly lying on the ground not far away. "That one hasn't moved either."
After being suppressed by his system, the large gray ball — Koutarou — had remained silent.
Seiji nodded in understanding. He then showed her the cylinder in his hand.
"Sister Yui brought this back … I'm going to open it now. It should be fine here, but I still need to be on guard."
Seiji slowly opened the cylinder's lid after having Summer Night prepare herself.
A black mist instantly surged out and slowly formed a dark-red humanoid figure on the ground. The humanoid figure's figure was hazy, and there were two red vortexes on its face that resembled eyes. It looked just like a spiritual monster.
No, this was a spiritual monster, right? The handsome samurai's true form was actually a spiritual monster from the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. That made sense.
"Harano …" the humanoid figure spoke in a low, raspy voice.
"How do you feel, Gungo?"
"Why … didn't you kill me?"
"Because I felt that you were still useful." Seiji looked at the humanoid figure, and then indicated to the orbs of light around him. "Look at these … some of them are from your town. Try and see if you can communicate with them."
Gungo slowly turned around and looked around.
"What are these?"
"They're remnant souls, the true forms of the people from your town …" Seiji paused for a moment. "It's possible that your master is among them as well."
"Master …" The vortexes on Gungo's face started flashing, revealing his fluctuating emotions. "Really!?"
"I have no reason to lie to you. But, it's only a possibility. I can't guarantee that she's definitely among you." Seiji told him. "To be honest, I really hope that you can find my master and awaken her."
Gungo's "eyes" flashed even more fiercely as he scanned the orbs of light.
"That … what's that?" He noticed the large gray ball.
"That's …" Seiji was about to explain when he saw the gray ball suddenly move!
