802 Is it no good even if I hug your leg and beg you? (2/2)

”Don't think that you're so strong just because of your past excellent achievements.” Yui's tone became severe.

After a short moment of silence, Seiji responded with a smile.

”Thank you for worrying about me, Yui nee-san. But, please don't treat me like a little child. I know what I'm doing,” he said in a serious tone.

”No, you don't,” Yui instantly denied. ”You have no understanding of how powerful Soul Society is.”

”Indeed, I barely have any understanding of Soul Society's power. But even if I did, that wouldn't change what I must do.” Seiji remained adamant.

”Why? Will this benefit you in any way?”

This wasn't a matter of personal benefit for Seiji. It was that if things were allowed to develop as they were, the entire city would meet with a devastating future.

”I've already told you the reason. I have an ominous premonition about all this.” Seiji sighed. ”This cruel plan, Kamitani's actions, the Messengers and Soul Society… With everything currently as is, I feel that the worst possible outcome might occur. This plan is just like a large ship. Everyone thinks that it will come up against a strong thunderstorm at most. But, nobody realizes that there's an unavoidable glacier lying ahead.”

”You're just being overly anxious,” Yui told him. ”Or, you're just being too arrogant. You keep thinking that you have to do something to prevent things from becoming worse. You think you can save the world? Indeed, you created a miracle before. But, you shouldn't become allured by that sensation. Miracles are miracles because they don't occur repeatedly. There's not that many things in the world that require you to do. You're not the savior of the world. Stop worrying so much about everything.”

'Don't be too arrogant.' Yui was expressing this to him.

Seiji could only smile bitterly in his mind.

If at all possible, he didn't want to behave so 'arrogantly'!

He knew better than anyone that he wasn't a hero who could save the world.

It was just that he saw a terrible ending for the city. He had to do something about it.

”Then just think of all of this as me being arrogant. No matter the reason, I really do have an ominous premonition about everything. That's why I absolutely can't allow myself to sit back and do nothing.” Seiji remained adamant. ”Please say something to your arrogant, anxious, foolish, and ignorant younger brother. At the very least, you should say something to console me. Is that no good, Yui Nee-san?”

Yui was rendered speechless.

He was basically being incredibly shameless in asking her for information here.

For a moment, she really did want to tell him something. But, she restrained herself.

She hardened her heart and spoke in a cold tone, ”No.”

”Is it no good even if I hug your leg and beg you?” Seiji looked directly at his sister's beautifully proportioned legs.

Yui's face reddened slightly and she averted her gaze as she imagined such a thing happening.

”That's even more of a no. I'd kick you off my car if you did that.”

”I'll hug you really tightly so that it doesn't happen.”

”It's not an issue of how tightly you hug my leg!”

”Then can I switch it to licking your leg?”

”Get the hell out!”

”I was just joking…” Seiji chuckled. ”Yui Nee-san, could you please give me an emergency way of contacting you? I need a method to immediately contact you under any circumstances.”

Yui remained silent.

”Er… if you're still angry because of my joke just now, I apologize.” Seiji awkwardly scratched his face.

Yui looked at him again and asked him seriously, ”Seiji… just what exactly do you know?”

Seiji blinked.

As expected, his older sister was quite sensitive… no, sharp.

”I don't know very much. It really is nothing more than a terrible premonition. I just want to prevent the worst from happening,” he told her.

Yui looked directly at his face.

Seiji calmly looked back at her.
