133 Waking Up (1/2)

Seiji was confident in his own imagination, but he didn’t feel that it was far stronger than an average person’s or anything like that.

In that case, it had to be his spiritual power that was outstanding.

Was it because his soul had combined with another person's? Was it because of this body’s original specs? Or was it because… of his dating game system?

He didn’t know, nor would he know no matter how much he thought about it, so he might as well forget about it.

At any rate, this was beneficial for him… His talent helped him reach this step.

After the president cast yet another spell on him, his body glowed with a golden-red hue.

It seemed almost as if he were a video game character whose fury value had risen to the maximum…

”Unlike dealing with a defense spell, you can’t simply destroy the amnesia spell. Otherwise you may damage the memories that are being sealed,” Natsuya informed him.

”What should I do then?”

”You must search for a weakness in the enemy spell… Using your own imagination once more, imagine that you can detect whatever weakness the enemy spell has, and that you can break through its weak point.”

”Got it.” Seiji nodded in understanding.

Seeing through the spell’s weakness was simple.

He covered his eyes with his hand and imagined.

As long as it was something living, even gods could be killed by it…

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, activate!

He uncovered his eyes.

Seiji’s eyes glowed with a mysterious reddish-blue hue.

He was now able to view the ”death” of all objects!

Endless dark lines of various sizes and thicknesses appeared on the complex spell formation created by the countless white chains intertwined together.

Seiji had the demon-fox robot lift its claw and sliced through one of the lines with ease.

*Crash!*

Several dozen chains were destroyed.

He continued cutting along the lines which his transformed eyes allowed him to perceive, snapping the white chains which held the crystal.

Before long, all the chains had been untangled.

The memory crystal slowly descended as it was no longer being bound by the chains.

Seiji had the demon-fox robot grab the crystal with its right claw.

However, at this moment the crystal suddenly exploded, sending razor-sharp shards flying in all directions!

Seiji felt chilled to his bones.

His intuition told him that it would be disastrous if he was pierced by one of those shards!

He barely had time to even think due to the shards’ terrifying speed. They instantly shot straight towards him!

The shards easily pierced through the demon fox’s body and the robot’s control room.

Seiji still hadn’t had time to react yet. It seemed that he himself was about to be pierced.

[Bullet Time] activate!

Even in this dimension the system’s powers were protecting him!

Seiji instantly materialized a dagger with his imagination and guided it to cut through all the shards’ death lines.

*Swish swish swish!*

After several cuts, he successfully destroyed all the shards, and they dropped from midair before clattering onto the floor.

After confirming that he and Shika-chan were both unscathed, Seiji breathed out a sigh of relief.

That situation had posed no small amount of risk to him.

”What’s the matter, Haruta-kun!?” Natsuya’s voice was filled with anxiety.

”Nothing. President, that crystal just exploded and turned into many shards which shot towards me, but I managed to block them all,” Seiji explained. ”I felt like it would be dangerous if I was hit by any of those shards.”

”Your intuition was absolutely correct,” Natsuya replied.

Natsuya’s expression in the real world was rather serious and pale at the moment.

”Just earlier… a murky gas suddenly came out of Shika Kagura’s body… this gas is the aftereffect of a vicious soul spell’s activation. Its target must have been whoever successfully eliminated the amnesia spell on Shika.”

”Since you were the one who dispelled this spell in Shika’s soul layer, you became its target… If you were hit by it, it’s probable that… no, you definitely would have had your soul damaged to the point where it wouldn’t recover!”

Seiji remained silent.

He wasn’t too certain about how serious this really was, but he knew from her tone that it was no mere laughing matter.

But he wasn’t scared to think about it, and his feelings remained calm… due to his dating sim system’s existence.

Even if he didn’t block it, and it pierced him, all he had to do was load and do the same scene over again.

That’s why Seiji remained calm.

But things were different for the president… he could tell how worried she was about him.

”Thankfully you’re alright, Haruta-kun.” Natsuya’s voice was sincere. ”Otherwise… I… wouldn’t know… what I should…”

Seiji felt touched as he imagined the president who had always acted so resolute showing off a weaker, gentler side.

He wanted to say something, but no words came to his mouth.

So, silence fell between them.

”Thankfully you’re alright… Also, everything is thanks to you,” Natsuya continued after a while. ”If it was me who tried to dispel the enemy’s amnesia spell, I… I’m certain that I would have been hit by that final attack.”
