”My family has already sent out their elites to investigate, but I still haven't received any news… perhaps they haven't found anything out yet, or perhaps they simply aren't telling me anything.” Natsuya averted her gaze.

”I see.”

Seiji wasn't insistent on having to know the situation. He only hoped that this situation could be resolved and that the Yoruhana Family would properly deal with things.

The next day was bright and sunny with white clouds in the sky.

”Ooike-kun has gone missing.”

Natsuya called him in the morning and greeted him with words that didn't befit the excellent weather.

”My people were put under a spell and fell asleep. When they woke up from the sleep spell, they discovered that Ooike-kun went missing, and that there's no clues to his whereabouts.” Natsuya had a heavy tone of voice.

Seiji remained silent.

”I'm sorry, Seiji…”

”It's not your fault, Natsuya,” Seiji spoke in a low voice while he opened up his dating sim system and checked some information.

”There's still hope! I should be able to track down Ooike-san.”

”You… can?” Natsuya was astonished to hear this.

The Spiritual Ability user who spirited away Kazufuru Ooike had done a wonderful job! He didn't leave a single trace behind, nor did any tracking spells work.

”Yeah. I have a very special locator spell… although I'm not sure if it will succeed. But, I believe that it will,” Seiji spoke as he continued looking through his system.

The [Extradimensional locator spell!] This was the Soul World technique he used to locate Mika previously. It required the target to have a connectivity rating to him of over 70. And, Kazufuru Ooike met the requirements!

It wasn't one hundred percent certain that this would work. However, since this spell had been capable of locating Mika even though she was trapped in an Inner World, he figured that it should be no problem to locate Kazufuru Ooike.

'A special locator spell… what type of spell could that possibly be? When did Seiji learn such a spell?' Various questions flashed through Natsuya's mind.

But, she soon cast away these unimportant questions. Right now, the important matter at hand was to rescue the student council secretary Kazufuru Ooike!

”I'll head over to your place immediately.”

”Okay.”

'So cold.

'I feel cold all over, bone-chillingly cold, but only my chest feels boiling hot as if it's on fire.

'I want to move, I want to speak, but I can't do anything. I can't even open my eyes.

'What's going on with me…'

Kazufuru's consciousness was hazy, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong and forced himself to struggle.

'Move… move… move… MOVE!!!'

Kazufuru suddenly opened his eyes!

He saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

'What is this place!? Why am I here!?'

Suddenly, a gray-clothed man appeared in his field of vision.

'It's you! The Spiritual Ability user who cursed me!!'

Kazufuru had already forgotten the man's appearance due to the effects of the previous memory wipe. However, he instantly recognized the man again, and the previous memories rushed back into him as if a movie was playing in his mind.

”Hey, bro,” the gray-clothed man greeted him rather casually with a smile.
