295 A Little Girls Soul Shouldnt Be like This! (1/2)
”I understand quite clearly,” Seiji said calmly. ”What you mean is that I might die, or even meet a fate more terrifying than death. But that's also only a possibility. The fact of the matter is that Reo Tachibana is still alive, and she hasn't transformed into a monster or anything like that. Sensei is also alive as well, although she's burning up with fever. Even if this power has activated itself, it didn't immediately kill them, which proves that it isn't something incredibly dangerous.
”I'm really strong in the soul realms. You know this as well, President. Before, you told me that I'm very talented in this area and suitable for this type of task. Not only did I perform better than you expected that time, didn't I also block an unexpected ambush?
”I believe that I'll be fine! If I really do meet with a dangerous situation, President, you'll definitely be able to cancel the soul spell in time! When you think about it closely, it's actually pretty safe!!” Seiji flashed a brilliant smile.
”Safe? The hell!!” Natsuya retorted forcefully. She really felt like shouting as loudly as possible just now.
Her face was crimson and her emotions were in turmoil as she stared at the handsome boy before her.
'Idiot idiot idiot… even though he's handsome and cool, he's still basically an idiot!' Those were the scion's current thoughts.
However, her body completely betrayed her words and thinking.
Her heartbeat rapidly increased, and she found it difficult to suppress herself as Seiji was just too cool right now.
He was courageous, resolute, and fearless. Those were all qualities that she found attractive.
However, Natsuya wasn't the only person attracted by those qualities. Shika Kagura was looking at her adopted brother with sparkling eyes, and Mai was also looking at this idiot junior of hers with a gentle expression.
Saki, who had arrived here together with Natsuya, didn't entirely understand the content of what was said, but she understood that Seigo Harano was willing to risk his life in order to save Mayuzumi, which moved her immensely.
Another night breeze blew past them. However, this time, none of them felt that it was chilly.
”Please, President,” Seiji implored, looking into Natsuya's eyes.
'His look, his tone... it's just like cheating!'
The student council president was unable to refuse. She sighed deeply. ”Alright…”
They were currently gathered at the president's mansion, in the room which she used for casting soul spells.
”Brother… you absolutely have to be careful,” Shika warned.
”Junior, I believe that you can do it.” Mai smiled.
”Harano… I leave Mayuzumi up to you.” Saki bowed deeply.
”Please raise your head, Editor Yoshizawa.” Seiji smiled. ”Leave everything to me!”
Natsuya began casting her spell. She shook her bells and uttered an incantation.
Seiji's consciousness gradually became hazy…
”Harano-kun!”
Seiji suddenly opened his eyes when he heard someone calling him. He discovered that he was currently high in the sky, and falling downwards at a rapid speed!
All he could see was a dark haze with many shadowy figures flashing and dancing within it.
He began imagining. 'Come, Iron Man's armor!'
After a bright flash, he was encased in a mighty-looking golden-red armor.
He covered his face with a golden mask, and flames shot out from his armored feet and hands, stopping him from falling any further.
This was a special situation where he could meet with danger the very instant he entered Reo's soul realm, which was why Natsuya cast a spell on him from the beginning. This way, he could use his imagination to create whatever he wanted in the soul realm to protect himself.
Suddenly, a few black shadows shot towards Seiji. Seiji stopped emitting flames from his hands. Instead, he transformed them into lasers which vaporized the dark shadows.
Looking up, he saw an endless stream of dark shadows rush towards him. He imagined that he was covered by a laser barrier, and this automatically vaporized all the approaching shadows.
”Harano-kun, are you alright?” Natsuya asked.
”I'm fine; the situation is stable for now,” Seiji replied. He then went on to explain the situation. ”I'm going to head down to check things out.”
He lowered the intensity of the flames coming from his feet and slowed his speed as he descended to the ground.
Moments later, he exited the haze, and his vision finally returned.
What he saw was… a city!
