749 Stop pretending, Ive already seen through you (1/2)
”Not at all.”
”Eh? How strange, you should have enjoyed being a hero…”
”You should already know about what happened, Kamitani-kun?” Seiji didn't want to waste time chatting and went with the direct approach.
”Know about what?”
”Don't pretend. I'm talking about Isamu Seima.”
”Oh, you're talking about him.” Kamitani chuckled. ”I didn't expect that someone would Awaken their Sin Activation mask already. This was far faster than expected. Even though I've already expected Sin Activation, I was still surprised… you're far more interesting than I even imagined, my bro Haruta.”
”What does it have to do with me?” Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.
”Don't pretend to know nothing. You've caused it,” Kamitani stated in a meaningful tone.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
What exactly was going on?
”You believe that I've caused Isamu Seima's Awakening?”
”I don't believe it. It's a fact.”
”…I didn't do anything.”
”Stop pretending, my bro Haruta. I've already seen through you.”
”I really didn't do anything at all.”
”Fine, it doesn't really matter if you don't want to admit it. We can just forget about it,” Kamitani said in a happy tone.
Seiji didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this.
He really didn't do anything at all to Isamu. Isamu's Awakening had nothing to do with him! The only part that was possibly related was what Seiji had told Isamu, but could those few words really help someone to Awaken?
No… It wasn't only the words Seiji had told Isamu. Perhaps Kamitani also counted how Seiji had fought together with Isamu in the dream world!
After recalling what Kamitani said, Seiji felt like he realized what Kamitani meant. Seiji faintly understood the deeper meaning behind why Kamitani called him an ”interesting existence”.
This was a major misunderstanding!
But… was it really just a misunderstanding?
”What would you like me to do, my bro Haruta?” Kamitani inquired.
Seiji returned to his senses and swiftly thought things over.
Kamitani's ”misunderstanding” regarding himself was something beneficial! Kamitani was the lawless type who wouldn't care about any consequences. Apart from Yui, only this ”misunderstanding” would possibly make Kamitani tread with caution.
So if Kamitani had a ”misunderstanding” about Seiji being an ”interesting existence”, what should Seiji do here to take advantage of it?
”I want you to guarantee Isamu Seima's safety. Don't perform any dangerous experiments on him,” Seiji said in a heavy tone.
”Will he really be able to mature if we leave him alone?”
”Of course he can't be left completely alone. He still needs an appropriate amount of stimulation.”
”How about having him become another 'hero?' I can create an interesting scenario just for him.”
”Understood~ I shall show you the script when it's ready, heehee…” Kamitani chuckled.
It would be impossible to have Kamitani leave Isamu completely alone. Seiji felt that it was wiser to protect Isamu through such a compromise.
And if Isamu was able to swiftly power up afterwards, Kamitani's ”misunderstanding” about Seiji would become even greater, meaning that Seiji would have even more influence over Kamitani.
But if Isamu didn't swiftly power up… Seiji decided to simply wait and observe the situation.
