Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Seiji fell silent for a mont upon hearing her say this.
"You could go over to Mika's place and sleep there," he suggested.
"It's not so good to go over to soone else's place for New Year's."
"What is the person that slept on soone's kotatsu on the Winter Snow Festival saying?"
"You're right about that." Chiaki sent him a chuckling emoticon. "Not a bad suggestion. When we go greet the New Year's together later this morning, I'll ask Mika in hope that she'll take in the scaredy-cat ."
At this mont, Seiji's cell phone beeped.
Yukari had replied to his text ssage. She wished him a Happy New Year, asking him what he ant by "strange things."
Seiji responded by asking her to log online as well, and showed her the "posts about demons" on the ssage forum.
"Sweet Pig told that soone he knew t with such a strange incident, and that it's no joke… that's why I was worried, so I sent out that ssage to you."
"I see. Thank you so much for your concern, Seigo." Yukari sent him a moved emoticon along with a floating heart. "I like you even more now!"
Seiji didn't know how to respond to such a direct flirtation.
He paused for a mont before responding, "No need to be polite… at any rate, be careful, especially when it's nightti."
"Yep, I will. You be careful as well."
"Of course."
"By the way, are demons really injuring people?"
"That's what the stories say. No matter what, it's probably true that there's sothing dangerous around."
"Seigo, you're confident enough to defeat demons?"
"I have so confidence."
"How reliable, as expected of our unyielding king!" Yukari sent him a saluting emoticon.
Seiji sent back a smiling emoticon.
"If you really et sothing, then feel free to contact ."
'So cool.' Yukari felt that he was so cool even from across the screen, causing her face to redden.
After that, Hoshi, Kaho, Rion and Kotomi all replied to his text ssage.
Seiji showed all of them the internet links regarding the demons, and was relieved to find out that none of them had t any demons.
The Amami siblings and Kaho all indicated their sincere thanks for Seiji's concern.
After that, it was the arranged ti to greet the New Year.
Just as Seiji was about to turn off his computer, he received a phone call from Mika.
"Seiji, I can't go to the New Year's greeting anymore."
"Why's that?"
"I received a phone call from Grandpa Zhao… He found a Spiritual Ability user teacher for , and told to contact her imdiately."
"What?"
"Spiritual Ability user teacher?" Seiji was astonished.
That Zhao-san had ntioned he would help Mika out… He didn't give her a spiritual artifact in the end, and found a teacher for her instead!?
This… was actually pretty good.
No, it wasn't pretty good, it was the best thod!
Mika indeed needed a teacher more than any spiritual artifact.
A good Spiritual Ability user teacher would be able to help her trendously… Old Zhao-san was quite right about this.
"He said that her na was Ruri Kinchi, a skilled Spirit Controller that he found for using his connections. He told to call her and arrange a eting ti," Mika told him.
"Then go ahead and contact her. I think that it's a great idea by Zhao-san. You do need a teacher."
"I think it's good as well, and I'm quite grateful to Grandpa Zhao… But it's so sudden, and I'm a little nervous."
"It is rather sudden." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation. "How about I accompany you?"
Mika fell silent for a mont.
"I'd like for you to accompany … but I also feel like it's better for to go by myself," Mika said in a light voice.
It didn't feel right to have soone else accompanying her on the first eting with her teacher.
"Then go ahead and et her by yourself." Seiji gave her so encouragent. "Conquer your nervousness and have a nice conversation with her. You can do it."
"Yeah… Thank you, Seiji."
"I haven't done anything worthy of being thanked for." Seiji chuckled. "As for greeting the New Year, I'll tell Chiaki to wait until later. After you finish eting with that Kinchi-san, let's go together."
"Okay." Mika smiled.
They ended their phone call there.
Seiji called Chiaki after that and explained what just occurred.
"This master spiritual artifact craftsman from Huaxia… he seems like quite a powerful character."
"Yeah. I don't know how far his connections go, but there's no mistaking that he's a major personage."
"Could he actually be so sort of Huaxia royalty? Mika is actually a real princess!?"
"You're thinking too much into things."
"Isn't it possible, though?"
"It's also possible for to be the reincarnation of the strongest Yin-Yang Master in history, Seii Kamijou."
"Are you!?"
"I just want to express that there's too many possibilities out there, but they're nothing more than possibilities. Stop thinking so much about them."
"They're quite interesting to think about."
"Well, that's up to you then. Go ahead and rest while imagining what you like." Seiji was about to hang up the call.
"Wait a mont!" Chiaki noticed that he wanted to end the call and stopped him. "Aren't you curious about that Spiritual Ability user teacher?"
"I am a little curious…"
"Then let's go see her together!"
"Huh?"
"Let's follow Mika and take a look at the person that she's going to et with!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I don't want to do such a thing."
"You hesitated just now, didn't you? Actually, you really want to go see!"
"While I do want to go take a look, there'll be chances to et that teacher later. There's no need to do such a thing. Besides, Mika might have left already."
"Don't be like that~ Stalking and peeping can be quite fun, you know~"
"Don't say it like you enjoy such activities!"
"It is a Spirit Controller that we don't know, though. Aren't you even a little worried about Mika eting this person by herself?"
"Er…" This was a good one.
"If you're worried about your clumsy friend and want to secretly protect her, you have to follow her!" Chiaki made it sound like it was an act of justice.
"I feel like you're just covering up your intentions in pretty words…"
"Stalking and peeping are necessary evil! For the greater good!"
"After hearing this, it definitely doesn't sound like it's for the greater good."
"In order to protect those dear to us, let us transform into the darkness!"
"Even if you use cool-sounding ani lines, it's still the sa."
Seiji thought things over even as he retorted, "Still, about worrying… I am a little worried, so let's go check things out."
"Welco to the dark side!"
"No, I'm still a loyal mber of the light."
Seiji hung up the call and then dialed Mika's number.
"Did you contact Kinchi-san?"
"I did."
"When and where are you eting her?"
"One hour later, at the Black Sugar coffee café in the business district… why are you asking about this?"
"Although Zhao-san recomnded her to you, she's still a Spirit Ability user that we don't know. I'm a little worried, so I'd like to follow along," Seiji said. "I won't join in the conversation, I'll just be around nearby for protection."
"Seiji…"
"Is that alright with you?"
"Yeah… Thank you," Mika said with sincere feelings. "I feel so reassured with you close by."
"It's good as long as you don't think I'm butting in too much." Seiji chuckled.
Right now, he felt like an older brother who was worried about his younger sister going to et an internet friend for the first ti. To be more specific, he felt just like Kyousuke Kousaka from My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!
As an aside, the person Mika was going to et was nad Ruri Kinchi, and had the sa first na as one of the main female characters from My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, Ruri Gokou… it really felt subtle to him.
This Kinchi-san, she wouldn't happen to be just like "Kuroneko" Ruri Gokou and be a girl with black long hair, have a creamy complexion, red eyes, and be a chuunibyou who enjoyed wearing gothic lolita clothes, would she?
Hahaha, how was that possible? That would be impossible.
Seiji felt like he had been infected by Chiaki with the bad habit of thinking too much into things.
However…
One hour later, at the Black Sugar coffee café, he was astonished.
