583 Are you usually fighting for the sake of justice? (1/2)

Cultivation required points, the random draw required points, and the [Spirit House] he wanted also required points… Even though he obtained a large number of points from the popularity of ”Brother Monogatari”, he still didn't have enough points.

Although he really wanted to see what the [Spirit House] was like, he decided to leave this huge gold sink alone for the time being.

Seiji closed his system's menu as he thought about this.

Seiji went to the living room and saw that Kazuko and Natsuya were sitting there and quietly sipping tea together.

”You've finished discussing things with Kazufuru?” Seiji inquired.

”Yeah. He's accepted my presence, but he doesn't want to forever remain like this. He wants to separate from me,” Kazuko told him.

”Is there a way to separate the two of you?”

”I don't know. Theoretically speaking, there needs to first be an appropriate new body as a vessel, and then someone needs to split my soul from his to transfer one of us to the new body. This should be quite difficult, don't you think?”

Seiji looked towards Natsuya.

”It's not merely difficult, it's basically impossible,” Natsuya stated. ”At least, it's impossible from what I know. I don't know of anyone who's capable of splitting souls like this. Separating a single soul into two independent existences? This is no different from splitting a living person into two living persons. It's ridiculous.”

”It's possible to split an earthworm into two living earthworms,” Seiji mused.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

”I apologize, that was a terrible joke.” Seiji sincerely apologized.

”It's alright. Besides, it's Kazufuru that wants to separate, not me,” Kazuko spoke calmly. ”I feel that living like this is fine, but he can't accept the situation.”

Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.

If he loaded back to yesterday and prevented Kazufuru's kidnapping, he could probably prevent this from happening to Kazufuru.

But, would it really be alright to ”delete” Kazuko from the world?

Preventing her birth was different from killing her. However…

Kazuko was the true individual responsible for saving Kazufuru, and she currently existed right here and now! Although her origin was quite mysterious, she seemed like a nice girl. Kazufuru himself had accepted her as well. The part that he couldn't accept was that he and Kazuko now shared a single body.

”Perhaps that kidnapper's faction has a method to separate the two of you.” Seiji folded his arms. ”Although that man is dead now, it's quite likely that he belonged to a faction. Maybe we can find something out if we investigate this faction.”

”That sounds reasonable, but how are we supposed to investigate?”

”So, you're saying to catch anyone that comes for an interrogation?” Kazuko blinked.

”That's exactly what I mean… although the prerequisite is that they come.”

Everyone fell silent once again.

”I suppose that's all we can do.” The brown-haired, eyeglasses-wearing Kazuko raised her teacup and sipped on some tea. ”If someone comes to try and kidnap Kazufuru again, I'll capture the kidnapper rather than killing him and interrogate him for relevant information. And if nobody comes, we'll have to enjoy our life together as it is.”

”By the way… Have you decided upon what payment you'd like to receive?” Kazuko smiled and changed the topic after a pause.

”Shika-chan and I already received our reward from cleansing the Domain.”

”That doesn't count. If you don't say anything, I'll carry out the default option and show you myself naked, wearing only an apron.”

”Why is that the default option!?”

”If you don't want to see the naked apron, the next option is a swimsuit.”

”Swimsuit sounds more normal…”

”It's a V-shaped spaghetti strap swimsuit.”

”Correction! The style is no longer normal!!”

”After the swimsuit option is the bathrobe option.”

”That sounds quite normal as well but I refuse to be fooled any more! Also, hurry and seal away the first two options!!”

”Bathrobe (fully soaked wet edition).”

”I knew it wouldn't be normal!!”

Although Seiji was verbally retorting, he still couldn't help but imagine such ecchi scenes. He was simply such a gentleman.

”I truly don't need such a payment… But, I do have a request for you. I'd like to ask you to open up your Domain in the future so that me and my friends can train there.”

”For you and your friends to train there?” Kazuko tilted her head slightly.

”Yeah. Me, Shika-chan, and our other friends.”

”What are your other friends like?”

”They're all members of a team I established. You could say that we're a Spiritual Ability user fighting team,” Seiji explained.
