715 Thankful that the girls hadn’t called the cops on him (1/2)

Seiji and Shika successfully retreated out of the dream world before it shattered entirely.

Seiji never expected that things would end like this.

He expected that Kamitani wouldn't allow him to simply leave. There would definitely be something like a fight. Yet, Kamitani was unexpectedly direct and casual.

Kamitani had promised to ”play with Seiji” again in the future… Seiji definitely didn't consider it a good thing to catch the attention of a guy like Kamitani, but he figured that things could be even worse, so this was an acceptable result.

The next morning.

Seiji brought the Miyamoto Sisters over to Natsuya's residence.

On the way there, he told the sisters his real name of Seiji Haruta, and let them know that he was a Yin Yang Master. He explained what would happen next.

Although he had successfully tamed the insect demon, this still wasn't enough, because it was still possible that it could harm Kaho.

This insect demon, who was now named ”Koumei”, and Kaho had become his Spirit-branded Retainer… more accurately, Koumei was the spirit, and Kaho was the host. Using the Spirit-branded Retainer contract to create a master-subordinate relationship was the best way to lower the risk of any danger!

Additionally, Kaho would have to become stronger in order to completely eliminate all danger. That was because her soul was now connected to Koumei's soul. Just the contract alone wouldn't be a guarantee for her safety.

This was just like if two people were bound together, and one of them was shackled, it still wouldn't be impossible to guarantee that the shackled person wouldn't harm the other. Only by the other being sufficiently strong enough for self-protection would there be a guarantee of safety.

Although this was all possible, it was just a possibility.

Even animals that had tasted pain would understand to avoid the source of it. Koumei the insect demon would obviously be much smarter, and wouldn't stir up trouble for no reason. The demon was quite knowledgeable, and knew that resisting against the contract would require it to pay a heavy price, or perhaps even would result in death. So, logically speaking, there wasn't much to worry about anymore as long as the Spirit-branded Retainer contract was signed.

Kaho was still rather tired even after sleeping for an entire night.

If possible, Seiji would have liked to allow her to rest some more. Still, it was better to perform the contract as soon as possible.

He finished the preparations, and entered Natsuya's spellcasting room.

Karen, Shika, and Natsuya were in the room as observers.

Seiji asked Kaho to stand in the center of the Yin-Yang diagram in the room, close her eyes, relax her body, and calm her mind…

”Now, please answer me. What is your name?”

”Kaho Miyamoto.”

”I am,” Kaho replied in a solemn tone.

”Then with my soul as the witness, and my seal as the catalyst, I shall summon Koumei upon your body, to become your strength and fight for my cause…” Seiji uttered the incantation, and used his Mana to create the contract.

He was instantly able to sense the insect demon's will. He confirmed that it was no longer trying to resist. However, it was also evidently unhappy about the contract.

Well, Seiji didn't care if it was happy or not as long as it obeyed him.

”Demon, heed my command! I summon you as a Spirit-branded Retainer!! I decree it so!!!” Seiji shouted out loud.

The master-subordinate relationship was confirmed, and the Spirit-branded Retainer contract was completed!

Kaho instantly felt a great power descend upon her, which helped to energize her.

”Gaah…” There was a sound of grudging acceptance.

This was the demon… no, the Spirit-branded Retainer Koumei's voice.

Now, Kaho could borrow the insect demon's power whenever she willed it!

Kaho felt that this was truly something compared to how she had almost combined completely with it before.

She knew that she would no longer be alive as the same Kaho anymore if it hadn't been for her sister Karen and Seiji.

Saying thanks would be unnecessary. She could only remember this in her heart, and hope that she could make it up to them somehow in the future.

”Kaho, how are you feeling?” Seiji inquired.

”Very good…” Kaho opened her eyes, and smiled movingly. ”Thank you, Seigo… No, Seiji.”

”No need for thanks.” Seiji smiled in response to this alluring smile. ”It's good that you're alright… Let me know immediately if you feel that anything's off again in the future.”

Kaho nodded, and then turned to look at Karen.

”Sister… I'm sorry… and thank you.”

”Kaho…”

Tears welled up in Karen's eyes as she covered her mouth.

Kaho's eyes also started tearing over as she walked over and hugged her sister.

Kaho wanted to say something, but was unable to say anything. She could only transmit her feelings with a hug.

Karen hugged Kaho back while tears continued to streak down her cheeks.

Everything was finally over.
