830 Nee-sama (2/2)

Yui glanced at Seiji before glancing at Kungo again.

”This is a bit troublesome, but it can be dealt with.”

Her statement made Kungo highly tense. He even began considering if he should immediately commit suicide here to kill the host's body.

Yui then glanced over at the broken sword on the table.

”Could I take a closer look at that?”

”Of course.”

Only upon receiving Seiji's agreement did she walk over and pick up the broken sword. She carefully inspected the sword while a golden-red glow appeared in her eyes.

Seiji and the others quietly waited.

”This is something that's very important. I'm going to take it back to Soul Society,” Yui said after her inspection.

”That's fine, but I want payment for what it's worth,” Seiji told her.

”You'll receive the payment later when I return.” Yui waved her hand, causing the broken sword to vanish with a white flash.

”Could you tell me why it's so important?” Seiji inquired.

”Yes, although you can probably guess already.” Yui paused for a moment. ”It's highly likely that this sword was the spiritual artifact used as a catalyst to connect the Tendo Family and the Realm of Cherry Blossoms in some manner. Basically, this sword is the concrete evidence of the Tendo Family's scheme.”

Now that there was evidence, there would be a reason for Soul Society to attack the Tendo Family.

Although Soul Society could also attack the Tendo Family without evidence—in fact, Soul Society had already done so—it would still be far more convenient to attack after having obtained evidence.

”Excellently done, Seiji.” Yui praised him. ”I will make sure that you are rewarded properly.”

She then looked over at Kungo.

”As for you… are you going to obediently come with me, or must I destroy you right here?”

Right after she said this, Kungo instantly lifted up his hands with a determined expression to seek death on his face!

However, Yui acted even quicker than he did. She snapped her fingers, instantly sending out a bolt of white lightning that entangled Kungo's body all around like chains!

”Wargh…!” Kungo shouted out in pain, but then stopped in the middle as he was no longer even able to speak.

He was now completely bound to his chair. His entire body was trembling slightly, but he was unable to move even one little bit. He now had an expression of despair.

”If you had obediently come with me, perhaps I could have allowed you to live. But since you chose to resist…” A powerful glint appeared in Yui's eyes.

”Wait a moment!” Seiji spoke up to stop her.

Yui turned around to look at him with a wondering expression.

”Um… he might still be useful. If it's possible, please don't kill this spirit,” Seiji requested.

He was thinking about the remnant souls in his Soul Room.

If the true identities of the remnant souls were the ”people” back in that spirit town, then perhaps Kungo would be useful in communicating with those souls.

Yui fell silent for a moment as she contemplated.

”I will need to return to Soul Society in order to take this spirit out of Shigure's body without killing him.”

”Then take him to Soul Society. I'll be troubling you, Yui Nee-san.”

”It's no trouble at all. When I go back to Soul Society, someone else will take care of this for me.”

'After all, this is his younger brother's body,' Yui thought to herself.

She then increased the strength of her binding spell to knock Kungo completely unconscious. After that, she used telekinesis to take him away with her.

After Yui left, everyone felt like the pressure in the room had been greatly reduced.

”Seiji's Nee-sama seems really mighty,” Kaede spoke first.

”Yeah, as expected of our king's older sister.” Hisashi nodded in agreement.

”She's the first person I've ever met who's been the perfect fit for the honorific 'Nee-sama'. Although it might be rather embarrassing to address her as such, I really do want to try,” Yukari commented.

”I also agree…” Hoshi raised his hand.

”I really want to draw her. Oh, could I start drawing right here and now?” Mayuzumi had sparkles in her eyes.

”That's the person that Seiji established his team in order to defeat…” Mika spoke up.

”Although she's the person that Seiji wants to defeat, she's still his older sister. I really wanted to talk to her, but didn't dare to speak up,” Chiaki remarked.

”It's the same for me. She gave me the impression that she would execute me if I dared to speak too casually,” Kazuko said. ”I can understand why Seiji would want to defeat her.”

Shika and Kaho didn't say anything. Natsuya calmly sipped on some tea. Hitaka was playing with the cat girl Rana, and Rana was allowing her to play with herself. Mai smiled without saying anything as well.

”Yui Nee-san is incredibly strong. All of you have now seen her for yourselves. We're going to need to continue becoming stronger so that we can defeat her and her team of Spirit-branded Retainers,” Seiji told everyone.

And so, this incident came to a conclusion… not.

”Natsuya, could you come to my Spirit House together with me?”

Seiji brought Natsuya into his Soul Room this time as they checked the remnant souls together.
