833 The world shouldnt have a savior (1/2)
Yui came over to find Seiji again.
Seiji didn't expect her to come over again so quickly.
This time, she didn't come inside Natsuya's mansion. Instead, she had Seiji come out to her car. On her car, Yui handed a tube with black runes on it to him.
This tube contained the spirit that had been taken out of Shigure Tendo's body, or Kungo.
”Thank you.” After accepting the tube, Seiji directly looked at his older sister's beautiful face. ”I'm guessing that you didn't come all the way over here just for the sake of giving this to me?”
”What do you intend to do with that spirit?” Yui asked a question of her own instead.
”Gather information… although it might not be of much use,” Seiji replied.
He didn't want to tell her about the remnant souls, since this was related to how he managed to absorb Inner World Essence from the Totsuka no Tsurugi. He had the feeling that it would be bad for him if he told his sister about this ability.
Although Seiji still wasn't certain what this so-called Inner World Essence was, judging from the name alone, it was some important type of special energy. And, this particular broken Totsuka no Tsurugi spiritual artifact was an important piece of evidence regarding the Tendo Family's scheme. If he honestly told Yui about absorbing this special energy from the sword through his system, creating the Soul Room, and the remnant souls within it… Seiji could already predict that Yui would forcefully bring him to Soul Society.
His older sister was a high-ranking and loyal member of Soul Society!
”Tell me if you obtain any useful information,” Yui said while looking at Seiji's face.
It wasn't important how he'd obtained information. The important part was that she was told any information that he learned.
”I will.”
Three seconds of silence followed after this.
”There's nothing else at all?” Seiji asked once more.
Something flashed in Yui's eyes.
”The mastermind behind this entire scheme is Sougo Tendo, the head of the Tendo Family,” Yui began. ”We're preparing to take action against him. However, there's a high chance of failure. It's possible for the entire situation to go out of control, to the point where the entire city may be destroyed. This is the destruction end that you must have seen with your ability… is that right?”
Seiji fell silent, not answering.
Yui took this as tacit admittance.
”You've said before that I should call for you if I needed you,” Yui continued. ”Can I really do so?”
'Of course you can.' Seiji was about to reply like this, but before he could do so...
”No, this can't be done!” Yui suddenly rejected what she just said. ”You can't wantonly use your ability. You've already done quite well, Seiji. Let's just leave things at that… take your companions and leave this city.”
”Leave?”
”That's right, immediately.”
”Why?”
”Because it's highly dangerous here.”
”That's not what I'm asking!” Seiji greatly emphasized his tone as he asked once again. ”Why?”
'Why not take advantage of me? Right now, the city is in such danger that it might be destroyed. Despite this, what else could you be worried about?' Seiji expressed this with the look in his eyes.
However, Yui averted her gaze.
”You don't need to know,” she stated softly.
At this moment, Seiji felt anger boil up within him, but he immediately suppressed it.
”You need my help,” Seiji claimed.
”No, I don't.”
”You do.”
”I don't.”
”You do! Stop lying.”
The atmosphere suddenly became rather tense.
Yui took a deep breath before slowly turning around. Her eyes shone with a deep light.
”Just who… do you think you are?”
Her tone was rather icy, and seemed to contain an indescribable deeper meaning.
”I am Seiji Haruta,” Seiji answered her directly without any hesitation. ”Your younger brother.”
Yui was expressionless after hearing this answer.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone and answered the call.
”I'll immediately return.” This was all she said after hearing whatever was said on the other end.
Yui then put away her cell phone and glanced at Seiji.
”You should get off my car now.”
