830 Nee-sama (1/2)

That seemed to be the most likely possibility.

This even seemed like the only possibility, so it was likely the answer.

Would it be possible to obtain information about the failed spell from those remnant souls?

No, before any of that, the spirits' town… Were Koutarou and the others connected to these remnant souls?

Could these remnant souls be the true identities of the ”people” in that spirit town!?

When Seiji figured this out, he immediately asked Yomi about it.

”This could be possible,” she replied.

Seiji immediately became excited.

He thought that he would be unable to save those people. But now, there was hope again… perhaps?

”Is it possible to communicate with these remnant souls?”

”Yes, but typically it's impossible to communicate as they're only soul shards.”

Yomi taught Seiji a spell to communicate with the remnant souls. It was quite easy. Seiji learned it instantly.

Seiji cast the spell to communicate with the soul shard closest to him. However, all he heard were clamorous noise that resembled roaring and screaming. It was impossible for Seiji to hear anything actually useful, or to communicate with this soul.

Seiji tried communicating with each and every soul, but it was useless even after he communicated with many souls.

He almost wanted to give up, but immediately rejected this. He was determined to try communicating with every last soul here.

Finally, he was able to hear clear human speech from a red soul!

”…Who are you?” a female voice spoke in a gentle and incredibly weak tone.

”I am Harano. May I ask who you are?”

”I… can't remember…”

”What can you remember? Please, tell me anything that you can.”

”I… remember light… someone was shouting… a lot of noise… something very scary…”

”What was scary?”

”Tree… cherry blossoms… dragon…”

A dragon? Seiji blinked in surprise at this new information.

”What type of dragon? Where did it come from?”

”…”

It seemed that the female soul had run out of energy as she no longer said anything.

Seiji had obtained some apparently critical information, but still not enough.

If he wanted to obtain more information, he would have to finish trying to talk to every soul here. However, he could only stop as it seemed likely that Yui had arrived by now.

Seiji left his Spirit House, and returned to the real world.

Yui had indeed arrived.

She quietly sat there, emanating a powerful aura that suppressed everyone.

”This is Seiji's older sister…”

”She's so beautiful… she looks like she's really powerful…”

”Such an amazing aura…”

”Seiji established us as a team in order to defeat her…”

”I really want to draw her…”

This was the first time for all the knight order members to meet Seiji's older sister. They were all astonished by her beauty and powerful aura. This was the same even for Mika and Chiaki, who had seen Yui before.

Seiji had previously told everyone that the goal behind establishing the knight order was to defeat Yui Haruta. Now, she was simply sitting in front of everyone, but only this alone was enough to suppress everyone to the point where nobody dared to speak.

After personally seeing Seiji's older sister, everyone felt like they could understand why Seiji wanted to defeat her. With such a beautiful and powerful older sister, it would feel quite difficult to resist against her. But, that was precisely why resistance would be necessary. Otherwise, Seiji might spend his entire life living in her shadow.

Yui had a calm expression as she felt everyone's gazes upon her.

Right now, she was looking at ”Shigure Tendo”.

Kungo in Shigure's body also had a calm expression, but only on the surface.

This woman who'd just arrived gave him a feeling of incredible danger. She was more dangerous than Harano… and far more dangerous than anyone else in this room!

Although this was only his instinct, he believed in his own instincts. Kungo secretly placed himself highly on guard.

All of this was what Seiji saw when he returned.

”Yui Nee-san, you've arrived.”

”Yeah.”
