811 The Tendo Family’s Betrayal Inciden (1/2)

After Seiji got off Yui's car and returned home, he immediately called New Voidfire and explained that the Yasakani no Magatama was fake.

”You're not willing to join forces with me?”

Voidfire didn't immediately react to the news that the mythic artifact was fake. Instead, this was his first question.

”That's right.”

”No matter what?”

Seiji fell silent for a moment as he mulled things over.

”I must admit, it's incredibly tempting to work together with you, Voidfire-san.” Seiji sighed. ”However, in the end we're not of the same type. Such an unreliable cooperation might end up seriously hurting both you and me. That's why let's simply leave things at that. I'm grateful for your intentions, but sorry.”

Voidfire also fell silent for a moment.

”How regrettable… But there should still be opportunities for us in the future,” he stated raspily. ”You're even willing to use a thing like Kamitani. You'll definitely have a time when you need to make use of me. I'll be waiting for you.”

Voidfire then hung up the call.

Seiji was quite moved with how sincere Voidfire seemed to be in wanting to team up with him. However, Seiji already knew after talking to Destruction Voidfire that teaming up would definitely be a bad idea.

Voidfire was incredibly strong. Although Seiji had only seen a minor portion of Voidfire's abilities back at Kosui Park rather than their full extent, the very fact that he was the leader of the attack against Soul Society, and that he was able to successfully retreat from Soul Society unharmed afterward, meant that Voidfire was definitely one of the strongest individuals on Sakura Island!

Without regards to anything else, just Voidfire's power level would be capable of changing so many things in the world.

If Seiji used his ability of saving and loading and teamed up with Voidfire, it was certain that they could accomplish many things together… Yet, just as Seiji stated, he felt that they weren't the same type in the end.

If Seiji absolutely had to reveal his power, he would prefer to tell it to Yui… But he was also quite doubtful of telling her, because it was evident that Yui was also hiding many deep secrets. He had no idea what might happen if he told her what his power really was.

Maybe he could try telling her and then load afterwards?

No, there were some things that he felt he shouldn't even try.

As long as he tried, as long as it happened, as long as he knew, even if he could load afterwards, it would be impossible for him to act the same anymore as some things would never be the same again.

Seiji then called Kamitani.

”Hey, my bro Haruta, did you have fun on your date with him?”

”It was quite fun. As your payment, I'll give you some information.”

”This is truly incredible information. I'd really like to ask how you know about this, but I doubt you'd tell me.”

”That's right. I only told you this information as payment for you helping to set up the meeting with Voidfire. I don't care whether you believe me or not.”

”You're so cold, my bro Haruta. You should at least tell me a little more~” Kamitani pretended to act spoiled.

Seiji instantly decided to hang up the phone call.

Originally, Seiji had wanted to try and obtain more information from Kamitani about what he was scheming. However, Seiji really didn't want to talk with such a bastard anymore, not to mention that it would be almost impossible to find out any more about the Messengers' attack plan.

He had already told Kamitani and Voidfire that the Yaskani no Magatama was fake. That was all he could do.

…Was that really all he could do?

Seiji thought about what else he could do. For instance, could he try having Voidfire and Yui cooperate? Could he warn Voidfire to be on guard against Kamitani?

But no matter how much he thought about it, he felt that these would all be unnecessary.

Although Seiji was still anxious about the possible Destruction Timeline happening again, this seemed like all he could do for the time being.

In a certain room at one of Soul Society's bases.

A man who had a thin face and a dark look in his eyes, wearing black clothing, was sitting in front of a table and slowly folding origami.

His back was perfectly straight and his hands were slightly raised. Everything about him seemed almost perfectly symmetrical. His only movements were his slender fingers slowly folding the origami. He was expressionless. It seemed as if he was performing some sort of ritual as he gave off a dark and authoritative aura.

There was a knock on the door to his room.

”Come in,” he stated lightly.

A girl who wore a normal jacket entered the room. She was Yui.
