"It stands to reason that a novice who has just become an onmyoji can't afford three Shikigami, but your words...... Maybe. ”

Harusa had just thought of the experience of contemplating a god, and the words of the summer night brought him back to his senses.

"If you can do that, we'll play with a four-man lineup, and if you ask Takeya Miteya to play with only four, he'll probably agree. ”

"What if I can't?"

"At the very least, as far as I fight with you, I ask Mitetsuya to only play with two people...... He should agree to this, but he will put forward the corresponding conditions. ”

"I see. Harusa nodded.

In short, the number of Shikishen he can afford is the key.

"Let's do it first, starting with the Covenant of the Gods...... How do I do that?"

"I'll teach you, at your learning speed, it will probably only take a day to master. ”

When Xia Ye said this, he couldn't help but think about it, after the other party learned to sign a contract, what kind of imperial soul would he attract for himself?

……

At night.

Harusa receives a call from Tomohisa.

"Kiyogo, are you free tonight?"

"I have something to do. What's wrong?"

"There's something I'd like to meet with you about. Since you're not available, postpone it. ”

"Oh...... Good. ”

End of call.

Harusa was a little concerned about what Chijiu wanted to talk about, but it didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he put it on the back of his mind for the time being.

He was wearing a white monk's robe at this time, sitting in the center of the Taiji diagram in the spell casting room.

After putting your phone away, continue to close your eyes, calm your mind, and recite the mantra silently.

Feel, experience...... Try to connect with the "Heaven and Earth Souls", that is, those beings who can become the Imperial Soul.

He had learned everything that Summer Night had taught. Now, as long as you do this last step, you can summon the Imperial Soul to descend, in other words, you will officially have the ability to summon Shikigami.

Harusa dismisses distractions, remains calm, and searches with all his heart.

After going on like this for an unknown amount of time, gradually, his consciousness sank into darkness.

There were many silver points of light flickering in the darkness, like fireflies, like starlight.

He was in the middle of it, and he had an extremely ethereal feeling, his consciousness was awake, but his thinking stopped.

"Don't think about it, feel it with your heart. ”

It was as if a voice was heard saying that.

Harusa did so, feeling a lot. Mysterious, great, sad, loving, hating, joyful, terrifying...... It cannot be described in words, and it does not need to be described.

They...... No, they're there, all the time.

"If you ask for something, call it. A calm voice rang out.

"We will help you, whenever you want. A gentle voice said.

"Everybody's been waiting here. The cheerful voice laughed.

Distant and vague, these voices seem familiar, but they are only unreal......

……

Harusa slowly opened his eyes and found himself in tears.

"Strange, how can I ......" Confused, he wiped his face, very inexplicable.

It seems that I have successfully made contact...... But what's going on with this feeling?

My heart was filled with indescribable sentimentality, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Summer Night didn't say there would be such a phenomenon, did it? Could it be that something went wrong?

Don't understand.

I don't understand it, but it shouldn't be that something is wrong. There is nothing abnormal in the body, although the heart is surging with sentimentality, but I don't hate it, and I even faintly feel that this is very good.

Harusa allowed himself to soak in the wonderful emotions of this moment, quietly waiting for his mood to calm down.

After a while, the summer night came.

"How's it going...... Huh?"

Seeing the boy's expression, the eldest lady was surprised.

"Harusa, why are you ......?"

"I don't know. Harusa shook his head, "I just managed to feel something, and then when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had become like this." ”

"You...... Is it uncomfortable?"

"No, it's just a little sentimental, it's hard to express...... If I have to say it, it's a bit similar to just watching a very touching and heartwarming emotional movie. ”

Summer Night: "............"

"I didn't have such a situation when I first cultivated, and I hadn't heard of it. After a few seconds of speechlessness, she said, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's okay...... Can you give me some tissues?"

Summer Night handed out a handkerchief.

"Thank you. Harusa wiped his tears with a handkerchief and smelled a nice scent, "This...... I'll give it back to you after I've washed it. ”

"No, just wash it later. ”

After a while, the inexplicable sentimentality finally dissipated, and Harusa's mood returned to normal.

After confirming that he was able to contact the Imperial Soul, Natsuya sighed in his heart about his learning speed, and then said that he would rest for the night tonight and make a pact tomorrow.

"I don't need to rest, let's do it now. Harusa said.

"But you ......"

"I'm fine, I don't know why, but I'm feeling good right now. If the ritual is carried out, it will be successful, and I have such a hunch. ”

There seems to be some kind of conviction deep down, which is as inexplicable as sentimentality, but it doesn't feel bad.

"Do you really think it's okay?" said Summer Night as she looked at him.

"I really think it's okay. Harusa replied firmly.

A few seconds of silence.

"Well, since you think so, then do it. "Miss Elderberry chooses to trust the other person.

……

It took some time to prepare.

In addition to Harusa and Summer Night, who changed into a shrine maiden costume, Hideka, Rona, and Mei also came to the spellcasting room.

Eagle and the others came here to prepare for possible accidents. If something goes wrong with the ritual, they'll have to deal with it.

"Here's how to do it: First, I'm going to change the terms of my contract with you. Then, you made a pact with me and recruited me as a Shikijin. Finally, the two of us confirmed the covenant together. Summer Night explained, "You already understand everything, right?"

"Clearly. Harusa nodded earnestly.

"So, let's get started. "Summer night stretched out her hands.

Haruji, who was standing across from her, also stretched out his hands and took her hand.

Then the two of them closed their eyes together.

"Under the sacred witness of the five parties, I, Wan Hua Xia Ye, at this moment, change the contract with Haruta Haruhi ......"

As the other party recited the incantation, Harusa gradually felt the spell acting on him, and his body became a little hot.

Summer Night changes the contract and asks for his response, which he answers, confirms.

The first step was thus achieved.

Then comes the second step –

"Answer me, what's your name?"

"Wan Hua Xia night. ”

"Are you willing to accept the spirit of heaven and the soul of earth, and sign a contract with me under the witness of the Eastern Green Dragon, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Xuanwu, all directions?"

"I do. ”

"Then with my blood as a testimony and my seal as a guide, summon the souls of heaven and earth to put on you, fight for your strength, for you and me......"

Harusa recited spells clearly, used psionic energy to cast spells, and contacted the souls of heaven and earth to summon.

Then it was felt that a powerful being with fiery power was approaching the summer night, and the two sides were in contact with each other and accepted each other.

"The Imperial Soul is coming!!The Shikigami is coming!!Hurry like a law!!" he shouted decisively.

That powerful being descended and entered the body of the summer night!

At this moment, it was as if I heard a faint voice say something, but I couldn't hear it clearly.
