The Juumonji Group helped to interrogate the man who attacked Seiji for seemingly no reason. Seiji thus learned that the man was a puppet master named Youta Itou, who had been astounded by Shinobu's beauty and impulsively wanted to steal her for himself.
This was an impulsive crime rather than a planned one. No wonder Itou had been so obvious with his actions.
Seiji considered it a good thing that Itou wasn't related to the Mitarai Family at all.
It was possible that the Mitarai Family would still want to steal Shinobu back. However, both Seiji and Natsuya believed that even if the Mitarai Family wanted to steal Shinobu back, it was highly unlikely for the Mitarai Family to make it so obvious by acting right away.
Yet, Seiji didn't expect that this type of trouble would be attracted.
Seiji realized that he had underestimated Shinobu's value in the Spiritual Ability user society. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention in the future.
After the interrogation of Youta Itou was over, Itou immediately admitted his wrongs and begged for his life.
Seiji felt that killing him seemed rather overboard. So, Seiji forced Itou to swear never to do such a thing again. More importantly, he also forced Itou to pay a very large amount of money as compensation. Seiji then knocked Itou unconscious and had the Juumonji Group toss Itou into a random alleyway.
Seiji gave half of the money he obtained to the Juumonji Group as payment for their services. He kept the other half of the money for his own personal usage.
Although Seiji was already somewhat rich now by normal standards, who would think that they had too much money? He didn't want to let Itou go without any compensation at all.
”This humble one feels like it's understandable why someone would want to steal away Miaki-san here.”
Hisashi swiftly came over after hearing about this incident. He was filled with praise for the extraordinarily beautiful puppet girl Shinobu Miaki.
”Such a perfect puppet is literally the dream of us otakus!”
Seiji was rendered speechless.
”Dream?” Shinobu blinked her eyes.
”Dream here means something wonderful. He means that he thinks you're a beautiful existence.”
”That's right! May I take a few pictures of Miaki-san? I'd also really like to take a selfie together with her!” A flash appeared in Hisashi's eyeglass lenses.
”Even I haven't had a selfie together with Shinobu-chan yet. Wait for your turn.” Seiji refused.
”Why do I have to wait!? Let's take some pictures right now!”
”I'm not in the mood.”
”I can immediately have the best background setting established here!”
”It's not an issue of the background setting.”
”I can immediately prepare all sorts of different attire!”
”It's also not an issue of the clothing.”
”It's not like we're trying to shoot a photo collection here!”
Seiji adamantly refused Hisashi and took Shinobu back to his apartment in one of the Juumonji Group's cars.
”She looks completely like a human. Amazing,” Mika was astounded after she met the human puppet girl.
”Can I touch her?” Chiaki's eyes lit up.
Seiji said that she could touch Shinobu anywhere she wanted… Of course not.
”Shinobu-chan is just a child. Don't scare her.”
”If she's a child, she needs intimate contact even more to help her mature!”
”And the truth in your heart is?”
”I really want to have fun playing with such a beautiful puppet little sister, teehee~”
The middle-aged man type monster Chiaki was immediately slain by Yin Yang Master Seiji.
”She's cool, soft, and smooth…” Reo was curious and received Seiji's permission to touch Shinobu's hand and face.
”She really doesn't feel any different from an actual human. It's so hard to believe that she's an artificial creation.” Kaede, who was Genhana High School's health teacher and nurse, giving her more knowledge of the human body, also touched Shinobu and exclaimed.
Shika simply watched all of this quietly and didn't say anything at all.
Shinobu also looked towards Shika and blinked.
The puppet girl and the ”Reaper's Curse” calamity girl silently exchanged glances… this scene mysteriously caused everyone else to become silent.
*Click.*
Seiji heard a sound and looked to see what it was. It came from Chiaki's cell phone that she was holding.
”This scene was truly too beautiful. I couldn't help myself and took a picture.” Chiaki showed the picture.
On the screen, the extraordinarily beautiful silver-haired girl and black-haired girl were silently gazing at each other. There was something indescribable about this picture.
Seiji remained silent for three seconds before he also brought out his cell phone.
