There shouldn't be a big war anytime soon, but there is a real possibility that the situation will develop.

"For now, because of the appearance of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk and the Awakened, there are spiritual people from all over the world coming here, and the appearance of the Spirit Realm will definitely greatly increase this trend......

"When psionics gather, the situation may become chaotic, or even misfired?"

"That's right. ”

Harusa fell silent.

"But on the bright side, if there are more psychic people, the number of people who can deal with demons and monsters will increase, right?" he said.

“…… Yes. ”

"Speaking of which, has there been any investigation into the phenomenon of night walking and awakening of the hundred ghosts?"

"I still don't know how they came to be. Summer Night replied, "It seems that all youkai appear out of thin air, and so do the Awakened...... The only definite information I know of is that the Awakened have all had experiences of entering the realm of suspected souls. ”

"Suspicious soul realm?"

"Well, not sure if it's yet. It is not impossible for you to enter the soul realm on your own while asleep, but the probability of it happening is very low...... It used to be like this. ”

Probably not anymore. This is what Miss Grow's words mean.

Harusa's eyes flickered slightly.

He wanted to say something more to Summer Night, but he didn't.

……

After receiving the contact, Harusa heads to Amami Masazou's residence, where he meets Hoshihide.

After exchanging greetings, get straight to the point.

Xingxiu took out a bright red leaf and placed it in the palm of his left hand.

Harusa saw the leaves glow red with his vision, and suddenly turned into a red bird that looked like a pigeon, and a faint red mist emanated from its body.

Hoshihide raised his hand, and the redbird flew up, circling and flying a few times below the ceiling, before landing towards Harusa.

Harusa reached out to catch it, not feeling the touch or weight.

"This ...... Is it under your control?" he observed.

"Yes, it feels a bit like manipulating a character in a game, but with a mind rather than a controller. Xingxiu explained.

"Oh......" Harumi reached out and tried to touch it, but couldn't touch anything, "Is it just a phantom?"

"Not really. ”

Redbird lowered his head and rubbed Haruji's arm, making him feel the cold touch.

"It only touches people when I want it to touch people. ”

"That's amazing. ”

Xingxiu let the red bird fly back to his palm, and after another flash of red light, the bird turned back into bright red leaves.

"It can be changed back to the way it was...... What kind of leaf is that?"

"Ordinary flowers and leaves, just stained with my blood. Xingxiu raised his hand.

Haruji noticed a band-aid on his left index finger.

"You have to use your own blood to use your abilities!?"

"Yes, first I'm going to dye the red leaves with my own blood, and then I'm going to use the red leaves to exert my abilities. Xingxiu smiled, "This kind of power seems to be a bit evil." ”

Harusa: "............"

"Although it's quite common in anime, the ability to use your own blood to exert yourself doesn't feel good in the end. He touched his chin.

"Senpai hates such abilities?"

"It's either hateful or bad because it comes at the cost of self-harm. ”

"I think it's acceptable to bleed a little bit every day. ”

"Are you going to use it every day!?"

"Make the autumn leaves, and use them when it's time to use them. ”

"Oh, that is, as a reserve...... Do the autumn leaves that are made have an expiration date?"

"Nope. I feel so. ”

"That's a viable thing to do...... But it's okay to hurt yourself every day?"

"I think I'm lucky to have awakened my spiritual ability, and I don't want to find fault with it. Xingxiu smiled, "It's just a little bit of blood every day, but it's nothing." Don't worry, seniors. ”

Looking at the smile of the beautiful boy, Harusa was still a little worried.

"Xingxiu, you are in a dream...... Or more precisely, what has been experienced in the realm of the soul?" he asked.

Xingxiu stared at the other party's face, her eyes shining slightly.

"I just found a strange person and said a few words to him. ”

"Strange people?"

"You look a little like your senior, at first I thought it was a senior, but soon found out that it was not. ”

"Something like me?" Haruji was surprised.

If it's the same as Zi Ji back then, Xingxiu sees the incarnation of his ancestor or something, then it means ...... The Tianhai family and the Haruta family are one family in the ancestor!?

"What did you say? Did he say his name or identity?"

"I don't remember exactly. Xingxiu shook her head.

"Huh?"

"When I woke up, I felt that the memory was very vague...... I don't remember what I said to him, how long I said it, only what I said. ”

"That's ......"

A moment of silence.

"Senior, what are you doing now?" Xingxiu asked abruptly.

"Huh?" Harumi blinked, "What are you asking?"

"I'm asking if my seniors are fighting...... Something like that. Xingxiu looked directly into the other party's eyes and said seriously, "Although I have just awakened my ability and may be very self-conscious, I want to help and do something for you, senior!"

Harusa was stunned.

Facing the other party's serious expression, he was stunned for a few seconds before smiling.

"What are you talking about, do you think this is a hot-blooded combat comic with an ability? Am I a decent protagonist who fights against the forces of evil?"

"Senior ......"

"Don't think too much about me, I'm neither a protagonist nor a hero, and I don't have a mission to gather partners to fight evil. Harusa smiled, "Although it is true that there are people to defeat, it has nothing to do with fighting evil or anything like that, it's just my personal business." ”

Xingxiu blinked.

"Senior, you misunderstood. He said sincerely, "I don't want to help because I think my predecessor is a protagonist or a hero, but because you are a senior, I want to help you." ”

"Huh?"

"Although I do think that Senpai is a hero, I want to help Senpai for just ...... reason I want to stand with you!"

By your side, for you, for you, for you.

Whether it's against evil, personal matters, or personal affairs, you want to be your strength, not to be taken care of unilaterally.

"Star Show ......"

"Senior, we're friends, aren't we? As friends, we should help each other, right?"

“…… That's right. Harusa received the other party's thoughts, "It's that I thought wrong, I'm sorry." ”

"If I need help in the future, I'll call you, and I'll trouble you then. He said frankly.

"I'm glad!" was recognized, and Seong-so felt very happy.

Yesterday's imagination may be a reality.

……

After talking to Xingxiu, I talked to Zhengzang again.

"What does Harano-kun think of Xingxiu's ability to awaken?" the old man asked.

Harusa thought for a moment.

"Let's not talk about combat effectiveness, what I care about most is that it needs Xingxiu's own blood to play this. ”

"It's the same with old decay. Zhengzang sighed, "This kind of ability makes the old man faintly have a bad premonition." ”

"Does Mr. Amami know something?"

"I don't know...... Maybe it's just that the old man is too worried about his grandson. But the old man couldn't help but wonder, will this sudden spiritual ability be maintained like this, or will it continue to develop? Will it ...... What about the impact on Xingxiu's temperament?"
