Chapter 547 – Episode 59. Because He’s a Teacher.
“There is only one way.”
Rena Sakagami looked at me and said. Even after putting her head together for almost an hour and talking about breaking Naruseshiyo’s seal, she couldn’t come up with a solution, but it seems she already knew one way.
“Why did you talk for so long when you already know the solution?”
She said that Yuka Otagi was a little annoyed, but Rena Sakagami looked like she couldn’t help it.
“Because my method is premised on borrowing the power of others. “It would be nice if we could solve it on our own, but we couldn’t come up with a solution by talking among ourselves, so I had no choice but to say this.”
“Oh, was that something like that?”
Yuka Otagi was convinced by Rena Sakagami’s calm explanation and calmed down her irritation. Ah… You have to involve other people. It would definitely be nice if we could solve it on our own, so we stayed quiet until now, but since no conclusion was reached, it seemed like we came up with Plan B.
“Are you a trustworthy person?”
“Yes, he’s my genjutsu master~! “He is definitely trustworthy, so he will help you!”
Oh, I said earlier that I was going to someone to get advice on the genjutsu from the scroll, and it seemed to be that person. If Rena Sakagami, who handles information, is trustworthy, I should trust her too. Anyway, I’m curious about the method.
“But what method are you going to use?”
“Hmm… What is imposed on Shiyo are two rituals: sealing and sacrifice. Although it is difficult to disable just one spell, the problem was that two spells were cast at the same time. If even one thing is missing, Naruse will be dangerous.”
First, Rena Sakagami told me why the spell cast on Shiyo Naruse was dangerous, even though I knew nothing about it. The two spells are exquisitely balanced, and it is said that if the sealing spell is released, the seal will be released and the dragon will tear open Shiyo Naruse’s body, and if the sacrifice spell is released, the sacrifice spell, which is closely linked to the sealing spell, will be released, and the seal will be broken.
However, if left unattended, Shiyo Naruse will eventually be eaten by the dragon sealed by the sacrificial spell, so the only future left for Shiyo Naruse will be death. So, Naruse Shiyo’s father, Naruse Koyou, waited until the sacrificial spell was activated rather than immediately releasing the seal, so that Naruse Shiyo could live a little longer.
“Then I thought it would be better if I didn’t break the seal. In the end, what is more dangerous is not the dragon’s body sealed within Shiyo’s body, but rather the dragon’s spirit, which has become increasingly vicious after being sealed for over a hundred years.”
The mind is scarier than the sealed body… So does that mean Shiyo Naruse is also being mentally attacked now? Well, unless the seal is broken, there is no chance of it tearing through Naruse Shiyo’s body and jumping out, so it would be true that the dragon spirit is more dangerous.
“What next?”
“We enter Siyo’s mind and destroy the sealed dragon’s mind. My teacher will help me with that. In the end, the body moves under orders from the spirit, so if you destroy the dragon’s spirit, it will become quiet.”
… Is it? I don’t know much about witchcraft as I am not familiar with it. After hearing the explanation, Otagi Yuka and Urabe Konoka, who were both well-versed in witchcraft, said nothing, so it seemed like a reasonable plan.
“Then ask the genjutsu master if he will help you. “I’m going to call my dad.”
Rena Sakagami called, and I also called Koyou Naruse.
-Yes, teacher.
“Mr. Naruse. “I found a way to save Shiyo.”
-Really?
Naruse Koyou seemed very surprised and very happy at the same time at my words. But it was still too early for him to be happy. The process of rescuing Shiyo Naruse will be very difficult. I smiled slightly and opened my mouth.
“Instead, you should become the head of the Naruse family.”
###
Ginji Naruse was suffering while lying on a luxurious bed. The destruction of her shikigami was bound to deal a tangible and intangible blow to the onmyoji who had made a contract with the shikigami. Ginji Naruse was also feeling tremendous pain over the death of her own shikigami, Tetsuki, whom she had inherited from her father.
“Off… She will definitely kill that bastard… !”
Although she wore a helmet and her identity was unknown, she was Ginji Naruse, who thought that with the Naruse family’s intelligence power, she could find out his identity. As long as she knew who he was, she could kill him at any time. Even though she was strong, she had weaknesses, and she thought she could eliminate them as much as she wanted.
“Brother, I brought you medicine.”
Naruse Koyou’s voice was heard outside the door. Koyo Naruse is also a weak, but onmyōji with shikigami. He seemed to have brought painkillers because he was well aware of the pain that Naruse Ginji was in.
“Come in.”
Ginji Naruse was a man who treated people he didn’t know with respect, but treated his younger brother, Koyou Naruse, with contempt. From the beginning, this guy and his daughter were like accessories to the family. Because she was not seen as the same person, she was considered a lower level person.
“It’s a painkiller, bro.”
“What about your father?”
Ginji Naruse takes the medicine given by Naruse Koyou without even saying thank you. Naruse Koyou had a nonchalant expression on his face, as if he was used to such an attitude.
“My father has a long family meeting, so he will be home late at night.”
“Is it… I’m going to get scolded harshly this time. Damn.”
Hirohide Naruse did not blame the next head of the clan, Ginji Naruse, no matter how big the accident, but the loss of his shikigami Tetsuki would not be overlooked. This is because the man who cherished his food spirits more than his children was none other than Naruse Hirohide.
“Who would have thought that a man who surpasses the strength of your food spirit would attack me? “I’m sure my father will understand that this is an unavoidable situation.”
“Yes. It’s an unavoidable situation. “I hope my father knows that.”
At Naruse Koyou’s words, Naruse Ginji nodded her head. Yes, it is definitely something that cannot be helped. Who would have known that such a disaster would appear in the shape of a human being? Killing Tetsuki with just a punch… Even thinking about it now, I got goosebumps on her arms.
“So… “Brother, please understand my unavoidable situation.”
“W-what… ? Gagging!”
Naruse Koyou said something unintelligible and stabbed Naruse Ginji in the neck with a knife hidden in her sleeve.
“To save my daughter, you have to die. “I’m sorry, I can’t help it.”
“Hey, hung!”
Ginji Naruse, who could not leave a will due to the blood that continued to flow from his neck, ended his life in less than a minute.
###
We were heading back to the Naruse residence. Of course, they were disguised as Naruse Koyou’s private soldiers and were all wearing cyber suits that covered their faces, making it impossible to identify them.
I asked Taira Kanna to dress me in a cyber suit of the highest specifications used by actual agents of the Discipline Committee, so I will not be hurt by the submachine guns used by the Naruse family guards.
“Sakagami, when will your genjutsu master arrive?”
“It’s a bit far away… “He’ll probably arrive within 30 minutes?”
When Rena Sakagami was asked when the genjutsu master, the most important person who would save Shiyo Naruse’s life, would arrive, she was told that he would arrive within 30 minutes. It was about 2 hours and 30 minutes ago when I called earlier, so it seemed like they were coming from quite a distance away. Looking at the time of arrival, I guess I live in eastern Tokyo, Nagano, or Nagoya.
“Welcome.”
Unlike before, the guards politely opened the door without warning or shooting. In the first place, we chose the time when there were the most guards supporting Koyo Naruse. That way, you can quietly sneak into the mansion without making a fuss.
As we entered the front door, Koyou Naruse was looking at us, wiping his blood-soaked hands. The blood on Naruse Koyou’s hands was the blood of Naruse Ginji, the next head of the Naruse family, who had irritated me earlier. Since Ginji Naruse had already lost his shikigami to me, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to deal with.
“You have made a decision.”
“No matter how much he is my brother, he is the one who contributed greatly to making my daughter like that.”
Koyou Naruse responds to my words with a bitter smile.
“Where is the head of the family?”
“He’s probably in the Dangjujeon Hall.”
Our plan was simple. Unlike other families, Naruse Koyou recruits the elders of the Naruse family who cannot use their power. Normally, the elders of the Narusega family had no political power at all due to the enormous authority and power of the head of the Narusega family, but in one situation, they had enormous authority.
In a situation where the head of the family was critically ill and there was no next head to take over the position, they had the power to decide on the head of the family. The next head of the family was determined based on the opinions of the elders, and with the help of the elders, the food spirit contract held by the head of the family, who was in critical condition, was forcibly transferred.
Normally, the head of the family who handles numerous shikigami would not be in danger, and the next head of the Naruse family would hardly have to die, so it was a useless authority, but today the situation was perfect. The next head of the family, Kinji Naruse, was killed by Koyo Naruse, and there was a high probability that Hirohide Naruse would die by my hand today.
While Nawa Saionji Diana, Otagi Yuka, and Alric, all of whom have high combat power, deal with the Naruse clan leader Hirohide Naruse, Urabe Konoka, Sakagami Rena, and Konoe Akina guard the sealing camp where Naruse Shiyo is imprisoned. If Hirohide Naruse was cornered, he might just say let’s all die together and release Shiyo Naruse’s seal, so there had to be someone to guard the seal.
If we put the Naruse family head in a dying state, Koyou Naruse, with the consent of the elders, inherits the family head’s surviving shikigami and becomes the head of the family. With the help of Rena Sakagami’s genjutsu teacher, we enter the spirit of Shiyo Naruse and become the spirit of the dragon. If you process, everything is done.
“Now, let’s start rescuing Siyo as we decided in advance.”
“I understand, teacher!”
“I will protect Shiyo well, my lord.”
“Ryuta, can I swing a sword?”
“Be careful, teacher!”
We strengthened our fighting spirit and headed to the place where the head of the Naruse clan, Hirohide Naruse, was located, while the rest of the defense team headed to the shaman camp where Shiyo Naruse was sleeping. Naruse Koyou ran to the designated location to subdue his guards, who were not part of his faction.
