408 You’re actually a Spiritual Ability user? (2/2)

”Yes… Feel free to contact me if you need my services.”

They ended the phone call there.

After that, Seiji called Yukari.

”Good afternoon. Do you have time to meet up?”

Yukari was quite surprised to receive an invitation to meet up from Seigo Harano.

When he told her that he wanted to discuss something important with her face to face, she agreed although she was somewhat confused.

What important thing could it be?

No matter what, she was happy to be able to meet with him.

After dressing herself appropriately, Yukari headed over to Seiji's apartment.

”Sorry for suddenly calling you out like this.” Seiji opened the door for her when she knocked.

”It's fine, I just happened to be free.” Yukari smiled as she entered his apartment.

Seiji had Yukari sit down by the kotatsu and served her some tea and confectioneries. After that, he took out a white gift box.

”This is my return present for the Winter Snow Festival. I apologize that I'm only giving it to you now.”

”Thank you,” Yukari accepted it happily. ”Can I open it up right now?”

”Of course.”

Yukari immediately opened up the box to see an exquisite light novel illustrations collection—this was something that she had been wanting recently!

”This… is amazing.” Yukari was delighted with this present to the point where her eyes were sparkling. ”This was something I really wanted… did I ever mention it to you before?”

”No, you didn't. I just felt like this light novel illustration collection was pretty good and that you'd like it as you're also an artist yourself,” Seiji told her.

Actually, he had used the power of the gift information card in his system.

”I really like it! Thank you for giving me this.” Yukari smiled beautifully; it came from her heart.

She was more delighted with the fact that he gave her such an appropriate present for her rather than the light novel illustration collection itself.

Seiji was entranced by her beautiful smile, and was slightly dazed.

”…It's good that you like it.” He sipped on his tea in order to help him regain his senses.

”Was the important thing you mentioned this present you gave me?”

”No, it's more about what I mentioned this morning…” Seiji paused for a moment before lifting his head and looking into her eyes. ”If I tell you that there really are demons out there harming humans, what will you think?”

”Eh?”

”There really are demons out there, as well as Spiritual Ability users that exist. I'm one of them.”

Yukari was rendered speechless.

She didn't know how to react to this sudden revelation, and her expression became a little strange.

Of course, Seiji wasn't surprised at all that she reacted in this manner.

In order to make her believe as quickly as possible, he lifted his hand and cast the most pretentious spell he knew in his arsenal.

*Whoosh!*

The light novel illustration collection began to fly in midair.

Then, it dropped down back towards the table, but flew up again when it was almost about to hit the table. Then, it flew in all sorts of random directions, flew in circles, whirled around in midair, and flipped itself around and around… all sorts of fancy flight paths.

The purple-haired girl was stunned to see this sight.

Finally, the light novel illustration collection landed back in Seiji's hands.

”Go ahead and inspect this. There's no tricks to it whatsoever,” he told her as he handed her the light novel illustration collection.

Yukari maintained her dazed expression as she woodenly accepted the illustration collection and inspected it.

It didn't seem like there were any tricks possible to her…

”Actually, I can perform the same thing with other objects as well. As long as the object isn't too heavy, I can do the exact same thing with it.”

The purple-haired girl looked at him once more when she heard him state that in a calm manner. She saw that he had quite a serious expression.

”Spiritual Ability user…” Yukari muttered to herself.

”It must be difficult for you to accept, but—”
