810 It’s human nature to repeat the mistakes of the pas (2/2)

Seiji could only mentally sigh as he saw quite clearly what his older sister was thinking.

He knew that it was asking a lot for her to simply believe him. However, he felt that things might get even worse in the future if he told her about his time traveling ability.

Now that he had loosened his own restrictions on himself, Seiji understood even better just how overly powerful time travel could be after seeing Voidfire's reaction. His time travel ability was far too convenient and it had zero drawbacks. This was almost no different from a curse. Just knowing about it would cause others to be affected.

To think of things pessimistically, Seiji didn't want to expose his time travel ability. On the positive side, he also didn't want others to carry this heavy burden together with him.

Maybe he was being arrogant, selfish, or prideful. But, that was just how he really felt.

”The information came from the ability that I Awakened… that's all I can say,” Seiji spoke in a serious tone.

Something flashed in Yui's eyes.

She seemed to understand, then she seemed to think of even more as her expression became rather complex.

”Is this ability powerful?”

Seiji felt a subtle sensation from her tone.

”Yes, it's very powerful,” he answered.

”Then be careful to control your power properly. Don't be allured and devoured by it,” Yui spoke while looking directly into his eyes.

Seiji felt that there was something more contained within her words.

”Sister Yui, do you know what my ability is?” He couldn't help but ask.

Yui fell silent for a moment as she retracted her gaze.

”No matter what it is, the more powerful the ability, the more easily a person will become addicted to it.” She spoke in a soft voice. ”You have to control it properly… Seiji, protect yourself and maintain your current sense of self.”

”…Just what do you know?” As Seiji looked at her, he felt like he was currently very close to some deep secret.

”That's all I can say.” Yui didn't look at him, and responded with the same phrase that he'd just used.

A period of mutual silence followed after that.

”I believe your information now,” Yui finally spoke up. ”I'll begin an investigation… Is there anything else that you want to tell me?”

”Yes.” Seiji kept looking directly at her. ”The Messengers are planning an attack on Soul Society in order to steal the Yasakani no Magatama. The person leading this attack has the code name Voidfire.”

Yui's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.

”Is this also information that you obtained through that ability of yours?”

”Yes, and I also confirmed it through Itsuki Kamitani.” Seiji paused for a moment. ”In exchange for his information, I want to tell him the information that the Yasakani no Magatama might be fake. Is that alright?”

”…Do as you like.” Yui had no objections.

Actually, Seiji intended to first tell New Voidfire before telling Kamitani.

It would obviously still be impossible to convince the Messengers to call off their attack. However, this would probably bother them to some extent, or maybe even convince New Voidfire to somewhat change his actions.

At any rate, Seiji would do everything he could in order to avoid the events of the Destruction Timeline reoccurring in the New Timeline.

”Is there anything else?”

”Yes, please be absolutely careful when investigating this scheme, Nee-san.”

It would doubtlessly be highly dangerous to investigate a scheme that came from one or several of the seven major families. Even if Yui was the genius of the Haruta Family, that still wouldn't lower the risk. It might actually make things even more dangerous for her.

And what if the Haruta Family was also involved in this scheme…?

Seiji was quite worried.

”Call me if you need me for anything,” he told her. ”Although I might not be able to help, I'll surely be able to do something about it.”

His words were obviously contradicting each other.

Yet, Yui seemed to understand what he meant as something flashed in her eyes.
