Chapter 833: The world shouldn’t have a savior

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

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.”

Seiji was stunned by her sudden change in attitude.

“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.”

Seiji didn’t move as he continued looking directly at her.

“Is this really fine?”

“Get off my car.” Yui didn’t answer his question as she coldly repeated herself.

Seiji could tell that she was restraining herself from something.

“Give me a reason.” Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.

“You’re not the savior of the world,” Yui stated.

“Are you, then?” Seiji questioned.

“Neither am I,” Yui spoke softly. “The world shouldn’t have a savior. You’ve truly done well enough already. That’s why you should leave, Seiji.”

After Seiji got off her car and returned to Natsuya’s place, Mika and the others wisely didn’t ask him what happened after seeing his expression.

Seiji put down the tube containing Kungo’s soul on a table, sat down in a chair, folded his arms, and remained silent for quite a while.

He could tell that Yui had intended to ask him for help, but changed her mind for some unknown reason.

‘The world shouldn’t have a savior… is it?’

He didn’t disagree with this sentence. However, since he had already resolved himself to help the city avoid its destruction ending, this sentence sounded like sarcasm to him now.

Of course, he knew that Yui wasn’t trying to be sarcastic at all.

She seemed to be resisting something.

However, he still didn’t know the reason.

No… she already told him the reason, but he didn’t know its deeper meaning.

Seiji could only sigh. He felt rather helpless and tired.

Should he listen to her?

Of course, he could refuse to listen. He could stay here and continue fighting.

But, what could he change?

The mastermind behind the entire scheme was the head of the Tendo Family! Even if Seiji wanted to do something, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

If Soul Society successfully dealt with the Tendo Family, then the city would be fine. But if Soul Society failed, the city would be destroyed. Whatever Seiji did or didn’t do, whether he stayed behind or not, that would all be irrelevant!

‘No… I shouldn’t think like that.’ Seiji stopped himself from thinking about such depressing things.

He then looked over at the black tube, and decided to release this samurai’s soul first.

Seiji immediately took action. He stood up, picked up the tube, and returned to the Soul Room in his Spirit House.

When he entered the Soul Room, he saw the floating soul orbs, a large silver orb quietly remaining on the ground, and Natsuya, who had remained behind in an attempt to communicate with the other souls.

“You’re back,” Natsuya greeted him.

“Yeah. Have you learned anything?”

“No.” Natsuya shook her head as she glanced over at the silver orb on the ground. “That hasn’t moved at all.”

After Seiji’s system suppressed Koutarou, his soul had remained in a large silver orb form without doing anything.

Seiji nodded in understanding. He then showed Natsuya the tube in his hand.

“Yui Nee-san gave this to me… I’m going to open it now. It should be alright to do so here, but we should still be on guard.”

After Natsuya prepared for potential battle, Seiji slowly opened the lid of the tube.

Black mist instantly poured out from within, slowly forming a dark red humanoid figure. Kungo’s form was hazy, and the place where his face should have been had two red swirls that resembled eyes. He resembled a spiritual creature.

No, he was indeed a spiritual creature, wasn’t he? The real form of that ridiculously handsome samurai was actually a spiritual creature from the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. This seemed to make sense.

“Harano…” A low and raspy voice came from the humanoid figure.

“How are you feeling, Kungo?”

“Why didn’t you… eliminate me?”

“Because I think you could still be useful.” Seiji looked directly at Kungo before indicating towards the various colored orbs of light all around. “Look at these… among them are the people from your town. Why don’t you try to see if you can communicate with them?”

Kungo slowly looked around.

“What are these?”

“They’re remnant souls. These are the true identities of everyone in your town…” Seiji paused for a moment. “Your master might also be among them.”

“Master…” The swirls on Kungo’s face started glowing brightly, reflecting his excitement. “Is that for real!?”

“I have no need to lie to you. However, it’s only a possibility. I can’t promise that she’s among them,” Seiji told him. “To be honest with you, I really wish you could find your master and wake her up.”

Kungo’s “eyes” shone even brighter as he looked all around at the soul orbs.

“What… is that?” Kungo noticed the large silver orb.

“That’s…” Seiji was about to explain when the silver orb suddenly moved!
