The Main Course Of The Battle
[UNREVISION] PART 2: Old legends
"*To you the owner of the light...
Don't know if you're gonna take this, but...
An incident has made you what you are now*... "
Seeji did not believe in reading the writing formed from a light on top of an obsolete book. He then ventured and read the rest.
"*What you have...
Which not everyone has...
From the light that was guarding them all this time...
The petals perch on your palms...
To change what should be*... "
Seeji was stunned to read those sentences, besides Seeji felt that the book was absorbing something from him.
"So... "
Seeji tried to control his irregular emotions, then a glowing blue gem in front of him.
"Ke... Flower petals...? "
Seeji tries to touch her, then the jewel disappears absorbed into Seeji's hand.
"Eh..? Earlier.... What was that...?!"
-------------------------------
"It's been a long time since I first saw you, blue hoseki."
Seeji removed the blue Hoseki shape that resembled the petals of a flower in his hand.
"I can't believe I walked outside that narrow room..."
Seeji walked down hills and paths, the view of mountains and hills that were still beautiful with clean skies spoiled his eyes. But the Aven Mountains are a deserted place for steep mountains, Seeji had to walk all day to get to the border where others passed by.
“Beautiful views not many people realize it.”
The morning dawn quickly passed, after quite a long walk Seeji got further and further away from the mountains.
Seeji then sat on a rock to rest and opened a thick book from his bag, then wrote something in another book covered in chocolate. Personal journal.
'Hoseki black... The last time I tried to get out of my room, I was almost kidnapped by someone....
'My blue Hoseki made me have the ability... What does black hoseki do to humans? Is it the same?'
"Huh?"
Her daydreams ran out when Seeji heard a loud enough sound.
BRRAAAK!!
"Hey! Old grandma! What the hell are you doing? You can destroy my stuff!"
"Sorry...."
"Do you think that saying sorry will solve everything? Now a lot of stuff falls!"
"I'm sorry... "
The grandmother was carrying a roll of cloth that she had dropped earlier. The roll of cloth came out of his hand and was crushed by the merchant's cart. Because of its large size, the wagon was shaken so that the merchant's belongings fell.
"Well..no...! Lookie! You broke my cup! You better know how to replace it!"
The man pointed the broken glass at her, the helpless granny just begged for mercy and apologized.
"Give me the money you have!"
"No...!"
PTAAK!
Suddenly a pebble landed on the round head of the man.
"Huh? Who's that?"
"Oh... I'm sorry, sir, am I bothering you?"
A girl came down from the big rock she was sitting on.
"I'm Seeji Utsuki... Onegaishimasu...."
Seeji introduced himself while smiling cynically at him.
"What's? I've never seen you. Besides. Your name is so weird!"
"Don't be weird, sir. I'm a wanderer..."
THE SETS!
Without realizing it, Seeji had taken something valuable from his pocket.
"A good thief..."
"Hey! Give me my wallet!"
Seeji quickly avoided it.
"But you're a man who doesn't know manners..."
"You don't see? He made my glass break!"
"Aren't you the one who drove the wagon too close to him? This five-meter street is still less spacious for your little wagon? You should've apologized to him. You made it hard to walk."
"Aah! It's noisy! Just give me my wallet back!"
"You need to let him go first, sir. You know he's apologizing."
"He's gonna have to change my stuff first!"
"You're the one who's guilty, but if you don't want to let go, let me take your things off..."
Seeji threw the man's wallet at the horse-drawn carriage, and the horse moved quickly as it spurred the horse's butt.
"My horse-drawn carriage! Watch out!!"
The man went after the wagon driven by the riderless horse.
"She's finally gone..."
"No. I don't have anything! Don't hurt me!"
Seeji reached out his hand and helped the grandmother stand up.
"I lied, I'm just a wanderer. Just relax."
"You're helping me? Thanks lady..."
The grandmother suddenly looked into Seeji's eyes with a different expression.
“What's up?”
“No... no... not what what..”.
“You seem to be in trouble. May I help you bring that?”
Seeji looked at some rolls of thread and rolls of cloth in large quantities that the grandmother had brought.
“Can?”
“Sure.”
Seeji then brought it. After that they talked to each other while walking through the border of the mountainous area and the city.
“Where are you going, miss?”
“I just went looking for places - new places..”.
“You don't need to use too raw language... it's okay..”.
“Ehm... okay."
“You've been to Crystal City?"
"Eh? Crystal City?"
"Yes.I live and work there..."
"I just walked down the Aven mountain range."
"really? The mountains are quite deserted. Come with me go there."
"I accepted your offer."
Seeji smiled in response.
“Hm, you're a beautiful girl.”.
"I'm flattered."
“My name is Himeji. I'm actually the owner of a boutique in Crystal City. I was short on materials, so I went to the textile industry to pick it up.”
“So...is not the textile industry...”.
“Ya... The place is indeed a bit far away... can you sew?”
“A-I can quite sew and make patterns.”.
“Then... will you work at my place?” Himeji suddenly offers a job to Seeji.
“Beker-ja?”
“I promise I'll pay you as much as I can! You can help me, right?!”
“Himeji - san..”
--------------------------
They arrive at Himeji's boutique, but the boutique is in a mess with torn fabrics everywhere, even the windows break.
Now Seeji knows why Himeji insists on asking him to help her.
“Himeji - san.... what happened to your boutique?”
“My workers revolted and stopped suddenly..”.
“Himeji - san..”
“Actually I got an order of 30 traditional dancer's channel dresses for the celebration of the prince's coronation in this kingdom. The traditional dancer's shirt has a complicated design...
"But when 10 clothes were left, all the workers left, including my son... The design of the shirt and some of the fabric rolls disappeared. And the severity of 14 clothes that have been torn is not because of..... Though the celebration is only 3 days away..”.
“Himeji -san!”
Seeji was surprised that Himeji almost fell down. His old face looked pale due to the various problems that had befallen him. Seeji then helped her sit on the chair.
“Butik mine is already trusted by the kingdom. But if I don't finish it before the day of the celebration, this place of mine will be evicted.... If this place is destroyed, where will I take shelter?”
Seeji felt that there was something strange about Himeji's problem. He then looked at the broken glass with several holes as big as needles and blood spots around the hole.
“Surely something unusual happened here..”.
“Seeji?”
“Himeji - san, I will help you as much as I can.”
“Really..?"
Seeji nodded slowly.
“Thank you! Seeji!”
Seeji then kept his bag and tidied up the workspace as quickly as possible. He picked up some rags and tried to make use of them.
“Himeji - san, may I borrow some design paper?”
“Sure.”
Himeji then gave the design paper to Seeji. He took the pen from his bag.
“We can use these damaged fabrics for a more abstract dress model but do not change the entire original design, is it okay?”
Seeji made a model of the dress as fast as he could.
“Seeji, your design is good! Do you have the talent to be a designer?”
“No, I just.. “
Seeji remembered his clothes that he had modified himself. The worn out clothes he found while browsing his room.
“Thank you Seeji, you want to help me.”
“No problem. There's something I want to find, can I go out?”
Before making his clothes, Seeji exited the store to look for clues about the departure of the workers.
'My goal is to suppress the dark power of black hoseki, why am I even helping grandmothers like himeji san? But there is something strange about what Himeji experienced - san this ....
'Black Hoseki comes when man has a dark heart. What does the meaning of the sentence written in the book mean when man has a problem so that it darkens his heart?'
Suddenly Seeji collided with someone. His hands were full of stitch scars and his face was in a panic.
“Sorry?”
“Mati... I will die...”.
“What's up?”
“Then this continues I will die... the others will die.... I will also die..”.
The stitch wound on his hand was very unusual. Even his wounds were like rags that were smeared. His hands shook holding both elbows.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
“She... she told us to continue working without rest... if we fight her we will sew our hands until we are not agitated! Even I ran away with excruciating pain.!”.
CTTTIIKS!
Seeji calmed the man down by sprinkling a little of his strength through a finger.
“Eh?”
Seeji held the scar in his hand and rubbed it slowly with his strength.
“You're calm? Can you tell me where this wound came from?”
The man lowered his head and explained in detail that he was one of the forced labor employees of the man who was the son of Himeji, Musubime.
“You calm yourself, go meet Himeji-san and help her, I will help you.”
Seeji smiled looking at the man. The man was surprised.
“Your name?”
“A... Kyusin..”.
“Alright, now go.”
Seeji ran and approached the large building that Kyusin had pointed at earlier. He heard a scream. It seemed like the workers were being tortured by someone.
“This place..”.
Seeji inspected the boutique using its dimension capabilities. He closed his eyes and concentrated energy on the surrounding region, so that Seeji was able to see the existence of hoseki in the dimensions he saw.
The man who tortured the workers had a black share of hoseki.
'So I. I see. he owns a black hoseki.'
The man continued to scold his workers. The aura that Seeji felt in that person was very different.
ZRAAT!
'What..?!'
Seeji was shocked when he saw the man scolding the worker pull a red thread out of the worker's hand, and it seemed that the worker did not realize that the red thread that looked like blood was coming out of his hand.
"Cruel... That thread is blood?"
He pulled the thread until it made the worker shout loudly, then made a knot and tied it. Their hands then moved following his orders.
'That's the forced labor he made. black hoseki made him control people like a machine.'
The worker fell and blood splashed suddenly from his knotted hand.
'How should I start...?'
Seeji then returns to Himeji's boutique.
“A.... Seeji - san. I was so amazed by all your designs! Can we just do it?”
“Kyusin... Are you okay?”
“I will ignore my wounds and help as I can!”
“You better close your wound first..”.
Himeji then came with plaster and bandages, and closed the wound on Kyusin's hand.
“We'd better finish it soon.”
They immediately work on their clothes with kyusin.
“Seeji...your eyes are beautiful like gems..”.
---------------
Two days have passed. Only ten clothes have been made, Seeji trying to keep working even when night falls.
“Seeji, you better take a break..”.
“It's okay, I'm not tired..”
'I can't approach the black hoseki just like that. There will definitely be a fight and that's when I have to think about strategy...'
Seeji was thinking about how he would fight the owner of the black hoseki while sewing. His strength was strange, tying the hands of others with thread and making them slaves.
“Thankfully you can easily understand how to use a sewing machine, Seeji..”
“No problem.”
Seeji answered briefly Himeji's praise. The two-by-four-meter machine was difficult to use, but Seeji was able to master the sewing machine in a short time.
SRRRETTA!
“Eh!”
The sewing machine with a wooden table and iron wheels stopped suddenly. Seeji then made sure of it.
“Seeji?”
“Bennya exhausted.”
“Reduced? There's still some thread stock in the back, take it easy. Needle will not move without thread.”
Seeji realized something.
“So.... Now I understand..”.
“Seeji?”
Seeji immediately cleaned up his work and went out.
“Himeji - san, I'll be out for a while.”.
Seeji tries to figure out what the owner of the black hoseki is doing. When see see it, the workers are still working, even though it was 11 pm.
“Hei! You're not making patterns right! Repeat!”
“T-but this is the fifth time..”.
“Whispering! I want everything done before tomorrow!”
ZRRAAAT!
The man pulled out a needle he was handling with a red thread at the end of his hand. He then pointed it at the hands of his workers.
THE SYYUUTS!
Seeji immediately cut the thread from afar with his knife sharpening the wind. The needle leading towards the worker fell.
“Who is it!”
Seeji immediately hid behind the ventilation roof, he peeked at the situation from above.
'Like I thought. Cutting the thread is easier than fending off hundreds of needles.do I have to make a dimension now?'
The workers really can't do anything. They just follow what they are told. If they refuse, hundreds of needles will hurt them.
“Don't just shut up! Fast work!”
In the hands of those boutique workers, there was a kind of bond tying their hands together, so they could not leave as the bond continued to be with them. Moreover, the door was tightly locked.
'What will he do? Huh....?'
Seeji realized something was awkward. When the clock was 12 o'clock, the workers immediately breathed a sigh of relief as the ties on his hands were temporarily removed.
“Musubime - kun... his name is indeed strange, but at first he was a good man..”.
“Yes, you little Teiru, where did he get that power? Suddenly controlling our hands, even to the point of injuring... Is she a black witch?’
“Why Musubime - san tried to make his own mother's shop destroyed..? By forcing us and destroying our work.”.
“I... very limp..”.
Suddenly one of them staggered in his chair.
“Hey, hold! If you faint, Musubime will make a knot in your hand!”
“Sorry, I can't..”.
As the man was about to fall, Seeji directly teleported and restrained his body. The workers who were there were surprised to see it appear suddenly.
“You!!?”
“Minum.”
Seeji gave water to the man who almost fainted. The water was enough for everyone who worked there.
“Who are you? And why did you show up like that?”
“My existence is there to overcome people like him.”
"Uhuk!! Ah...?"
The person who fainted opened his eyes again, after Seeji drank the water in the bottle to him.
"You're all human?"
Seeji looked around the place and saw something interesting.
“So... you also drink this water.”.
“Hey you...”.
Musubime who was in the next room felt something strange with the chatter of his workers.
“Why are they so noisy?!” Teiru held the doorknob and went to work. Seeji directly teleported behind her.
“People like you.... Musubime Teiru”'s
ZYYYAAT
The man tried to attack Seeji, but Seeji immediately teleported and disappeared.
“What - what was that? Does anyone else have the power?”
A black aura suddenly shrouded his hearing and vision. Instantly his worry disappeared.
“Hahaha.... There is nothing to hinder my plan.The secret treasure of this land I will get.. By gathering them as my workers, I will get the key after destroying Himeji's shop.
SRETT
He wrote something on top of his memo book.
“Himeji I will use as the key... Haha... I will be the richest person in this city..”.
SYUUS
“As said... everything is not easy if something gets in the way.... right? Hoseki black..”.
'You want to have power? Let me be in your body and seek the strength of those around you...'
A voice that Musubime heard when he got a black hoseki.
-------
“Can we be on time until morning?” Kyusin was a bit anxious.
“Do not worry, Kyusin.”
At 3am. There were only a few more clothes they had to make, and the celebration started at 9.
“Seeji, I'm not sure we'll be on time. You don't have to force yourself.”.
“It's okay, Himeji - san. They will come.”
“Himeji - san!!”
From the doorway the workers from the Teiru boutique came to the Himeji - san boutique.
“Everything..!”.
“Asimura - san.... please forgive us.... we are forced to work without rest....”.
“Nothing, you better take care of your hands first..!”.
Himeji was surprised to see their hands bleed.
“No, we will help!”
“You! Close your wounds first why..”.
Kyusin brought them some plaster and bandages.
“Kyusin, are you okay? I'm so surprised that you forced your escape by forcibly removing that bond.”.
“Yeah, it hurts, but Seeji - san help me”
“Seeji?”
Kyusin then pointed at her, they turned towards Seeji who was sewing.
“You were the one last night, weren't you?”
“I'm here since yesterday.”
“No, I saw you bring us water, and after drinking it, our bond became loose and we were able to escape from that miserable place!”
“We'd better get it done soon."
----------------------
Celebration begins. The celebration was the coronation of the 17th prince of the kingdom. Held a parade in the city area with various performances and attractions, one of which is the dancers in concert who follow the parade with the creation of colored clothes and decorate the steps of the nobles who pass the streets. That's the outfit that was ordered at Himeji's boutique.
6 Untorn outfits are made for the middle 10-man dancer with a combination of blue, purple, and pink being the front dancer, and 14 people with a green color combination , the orange and red became back dancers and flag bearers. The dancers really look colorful so the event is getting festive.
“Luckily all smoothly..”.
The workers were relieved by the results. They were watching the celebration at the town hall.
“Mataku.... black huh?”.
“Your eye color is indeed black Jusin.”
“Hey, my name is Kyusin tau!”
“Hah... whatever... I don't know how Seeji can deliver all orders to the kingdom in that fast time...
Seeji glanced towards the window and saw when the princess, the king also the queen smiled happily as the prince stood at the very front and raised his sword.
“They are a happy family as a noble class, Seeji..”.
“Ya.”
Seeji was in the boutique with Himeji as the workers enjoyed the celebration.
“The names of the royal family of Ameytyst, the king, Geiford, the queen of Kaguya, the prince Leo, and the princess Hilne.”
"I just heard their name.”
“Really? Their name is indeed difficult to call.. because 'outsiders' had a role for this kingdom.”.
"Outside people?"
"Well, it's actually an expression for people who have no interest in the kingdom.but the term also applies to the use of languages that are foreign or rarely used by the community...."
“This celebration is also very festive..”
“Prince Riyou is still your age, Seeji. Try to go out and show your pretty face.”.
“Himeji - san....! Eh? Didn't Himeji-san just say her name was prince Leo?”
“Yes, he doesn't want anyone who has trouble saying his name to call him Rio... So, he made an easier call with the name prince Riyou.”.
“Heh... It looks like he has a unique character..”.
"I can't believe my workers came back at the right time... Did you do anything?"
"I just..."
".....?"
The water that Seeji gave him was irrigated by his hose. That way the fastening seal on them can be removed
“Seeji, I'm really grateful to you..”.
“No problem for me, Himeji - san”
Himeji who was sitting near him suddenly looked into his eyes.
“Himeji -san?”
"You're really mysterious, Seeji..."
Seeji fell silent, trying to shift his eyes slowly.
“From your eyes... do you.. have..”.
BRRRAAK!
Suddenly his son Himeji came while slamming the door. He looks upset that his plan to destroy the shop failed.
“I thought you were the problem! Whoareyou!? And why did you take all my workers?!”
“Teiru!” Himeji was surprised to see her son.
“They are not your workers, Musubime - san. You just forced them to work.”
“Don't set me up! Whoever they are is not important! You made all my plans fall apart!!”
“There's no point in you continuing to hire them, right? I'm sure at first you were one of the same workers as them.” Seeji tried to intimidate.
“You...!”
“At 12 o'clock, the workers are allowed a break and the bond of your power will be temporarily detached so that I can get them out with just a little hosekiku. The bond is broken because your conscience as a worker still exists.”.
Seeji then stood up and looked at Teiru.
“You're trying to destroy this boutique right? You tried to steal Himeji-san's order to have her buttons evicted.
“Invite the meddler!! By getting rid of it then nothing will stand in my way!!”
Himeji was surprised by her son's harsh words, Seeji certainly couldn't let it go.
"Twitter...."
Himeji cried, Seeji looked at her annoyed
“You want to eliminate him.. The person as good as him who always loved you... Did you really lose yourself Musubime?!"
Seeji moved teleporting in front of him with a face full of annoyance, his hands clenched firmly and hit him until slammed on the door.
"Eh...?"
"You said so arrogantly, but you tied up your workers like a donkey pulling a cart. What a lousy boss!!”
Seeji intimidates him, the black hoseki will be visible and make it easier for Seeji to seal it. Seeji unleashed his anger in the blow.
'Aura hoseki black started to come out...'
“Stop spying on me like that!”
Seeji tried to hold his hand moving towards Himeji, but the increased black hoseki made him drop Seeji easily.
"Hime - san! The danger!"
Teiru then uses her powers to bind Himeji. Hoseki manipulates his skills and allows him to sew anything including the arms of his workers with blood so that he can control his workers to do what he asks.
“Currently, you can tie anything like a thread and control it?”
The black Hoseki that managed to possess his soul made his nature become different. Seeji had expected all that.
SRRIEMIING!
Seeji raises a blue hoseki in his hand and pulls out a knife from the hoseki.
SYYYAT!
Seeji then cut the red thread and untied Himeji. Seeji stood in front of Himeji and protected her.
“Himeji - san, are you okay?”
Himeji was surprised to see Seeji. Suddenly there was an old memory in his mind.
"D.Him..."
"Himeji, you stay there."
'...The person who protected me back then...'
“Using that ability just to achieve personal desire? That's stupid."
SRIIIIING!
“C-light what is this?!”
A blue light shone around Teiru and Seeji.
“Master, let's finish with the fight..”.
Seeji used his level 2 dimensional abilities so that he and his son Himeji entered into the dimension.
“DIMENSIONS!!”
----------------------
The dimensions that Seeji makes have the same look as the real world, but the colors in its dimensions tend to be paler.
“It turns out, there are others who have the power... How dare you show up and challenge me!”.
“The power you have is black hoseki, sir. That's not the power you need.”
“Whispering! This place is not a real place, right?! What do you mean bring me here?!”
“Now the fight can start.”
Seeji stared at Musubime Teiru with his blue eyes shining so that they gasped.
DUKK...
Seeji knelt down and spoke like a man of respect to the king. Teiru was only silent because Seeji's gaze was riveting her.
“Master, my name is Seeji Utsuki.. will remove your darkness with the light of hoseki..”.
Seeji stared intently with a smile that seemed challenging.
“We start with the opener? Mister?”
Seeji's power began to surge out as Seeji got up from his kneeling position, then pulled out the gun from behind his arm.
“Ja-don't play - play you yes!!”
Teiru attacked, and Seeji immediately dodged the attack. He then shot with his gun, cutting the thread again with his quick bullet.
“You don't understand? You can't make the things you love as something to hurt others.”.
“Stop that shit of yours! You better get me out of this place so I can continue my plan!”
Seeji took out 2 knives from behind his feet and threw them at teiru. The knife shot quickly so that it pulled the clothes and stuck to the wall.
“I'm sorry, Sir. You better not fight.”
“Stop calling me Sir! What do you mean be polite but you're trying to kill me!?!"
Seeji was somewhat surprised when he heard that from Teiru.
'Just calm little girl.I won't kill you.I just want something you have.and I can use it or destroy it!!'
'Foolish thought...'
“No, I just want... kill something in you.”.
“!!”
“I'm looking for people who need purification for those who are dirty like you and I think you need it the most.”
“What?! You call me dirty?!”
“More precisely... inedible darkness!”
Seeji then teleported towards Teiru, he again gritted her with his sharp and shining eyes. His leg then kicked the knife that stuck into Teiru's shirt on the wall.
“We can proceed to the main part, Sir... That power..”
Seeji directly used both knives and attacked Teiru who was still trying to stand.
“Shouldn't be in you..!!”
Teiru immediately protects herself by making a thread and using it to tie the knife that leads to her.
ZRAT!
“Not so fast...”.
Seeji threw out his hoseki so that the thread that bound his knife was cut small.
“Kh...”.
Teiru growled in annoyance. Black Hoseki began to make him thirst for power.
Seeji again swung his two knives and urged Teiru. Teiru makes a protector from the black hoseki, by perverting the air of Seeji's slash in his head.
"You really used this power...."
Seeji attacked him faster, not only did he combine it with a punch. The air protector was unable to withstand all of his attacks.
“Why.... I only want treasures in this land so that I can use them as I please, no need for rules from others anymore!!”
“What? Treasure?”
“My strength always whispers the power I can get from that treasure.. By having it there will be no one to regulate all my behavior!!”
"That's why you wanted to kill your own mother?!"
“He's my only obstacle...! I'll be out of her bindings forever!"
Teiru uses her own blood to attack Seeji, her blood forming needle-sharp ends and circling Seeji. Without a long time Seeji cut each thread with his knife and teleporting power.
'Ikatan... means your blood relation...?'
"Not only that! I will use it as a treasure unlocking mash!! But it looks like I'll start from you, blue hoseki!”
'Treasure key? What's....'
ZRRAAAT!
Teiru's pointed needle pierced every nerve in Seeji's hand, and most of it went through his right.
“AAAKKH....! What?!”?
“I tied you up with my bond this time, so you better work for me!”
“Sial! I'm off guard...”.
“Only because I am also a worker... does not mean I continue to follow orders, right?! I was treated like a messenger by my own mother... It all makes me sick!”
“Musubime - san.
His black hoseki flow could be felt by Seeji. The feelings of Musubime.
‘*What are you doing? You made all the hard work of the workers go to waste! You are so careless at work!’
‘Mother, it was by accident! I'm sorry..’.
‘You made us have to unpack 20 clothes! Do you think this is easy?! You know what they'll do if we don't finish this?!'
‘If we cooperate all must be easy is not?’
‘Teiru! Celebration is just around the corner! You're not even better than all my workers!'
'Mother-!!'
'If you think all this is easy, do it yourself*!’
"They are the same...!"
'*It turns out he's an unreliable kid huh...? The talent is only in the name of his mother...'
'When his mother is a very talented person, to be trusted by the kingdom....'
'Gara - because he is a miserly landowner that comes with the threat of eviction.... wouldn't it be better to just leave? No useful*.'
'...... I will do it myself...!
“Musubime - san, don't you think that your mother worked hard for you?”
“?!”
“He wants you to have your own place of business because of the shrewdness of your hands. Even if it costs a lot, he wants to be able to get the money back for you, don't you think!?”
Seeji took off the blood-stained thread with his hosekin knife. He exuded it from his body so that the bond could be broken. Dozens of needle-sized wounds were left on his hands.
“!!!”
‘Teiru, she always wanted to open her own boutique.... But it all costs money, so I want to be able to help her after she has been helping me all this time.'
“What..?”
Teiru did not believe the words of her mother, which Seeji said.
“Your mother loves you, Teiru. Does the bond you have with your mother want you to decide for your strength? Do you still not understand?”
“Shut! Everything is different than before! Let's just finish this!”
Teiru controlled all the needles and threads in the room and pointed them at Seeji.
“Still trying to keep it..”.
Seeji threw all his attacks with his 2 knives, he swung them around while spinning.
“Useless!!!”
Teiru focused the black hoseki on her then took out a knife with a strange shape in her hand.
"Accept this! Hoseki blue!"
Teiru ran towards him and used the Blade. His movements arrived - it was difficult to read when using the knife. Like a shadow.
”What is this? The movement is somewhat different..”.
Teiru continued to attack Seeji with the knife, Seeji only tried to dodge because he had no chance to attack.
“It looks like what he said was right... This weapon will defeat you easily! I don't even have any trouble using this thing!!”
"Ch.. It's getting harder..."
Teiru moved quickly, without him noticing that the knife stabbed Seeji's hand which was hit by Teiru's previous attack.
'No..! Uh...?'
Surprisingly there was no blood or visible wound after the knife, Seeji then took his distance and pulled out the knife that stuck in his hand.
”I'm not hurt..but, my strength is like drained..”.
“Oohh... My attack had a big effect? Then let me just end it!!”
He focused his power and then brought back the same knife in his hand and threw it towards Seeji's head.
“Haha!! You will definitely die with it!!”
TRAAAC
Teiru's knife hit the wall. Fumble.
“WHAT?!”
DHOORS! DHOORS!
Seeji apparently teleported to the back of the man then injured 2 palms Teiru with his gun. Implanting the seal point on his attack earlier.
“Akh!”
“I'm sorry, Musubime - san, even if you want power, you must not forget who you are.”.
“Job!!”
SRRIIISING
‘Mother is glad you keep working hard and helping mom. Teiru, I will support you for your success ..Mom loves you.’.
'Mother.forgive me...'
“Well.... hoseki black, you better get away from him!”
SEALS
“FUIN!”
A circle of light shot out from the Teiru seal point and then bound it. Seeji turned his hand towards Teiru with his blue hoseki pulling the black hoseki. Then it looks like the hoseki splash turned into white.
Seeji had a taste of Teiru's feelings before he finished sealing her. In the glitter of light that blinds the eyes.
'What have I done? Why do I have such ambition when I ignore the people closest to me?!!'
'Don't worry. That influence is gone from you.'
'What?!'
'Everything about this will disappear from your memory. But one, remember what is precious to you so you won't regret it.'
Seeji managed to defeat teiru. He was almost pushed back when his hand was injured because of his control needle.
‘Does black hoseki promise a treasure to its owner.?’.
SRRIISING
Teiru's black Hoseki is now in Seeji's hand with a size of a pinky. Seeji then throws him up and disappears when the blue light of his hose passes through him.
‘At least he still remembers his identity as a child even though he forgot his identity as a persistent and diligent worker.’
Seeji was still looking at Teiru who had fainted due to Seeji's fuin effect. White light appears after the black hoseki comes out of the body teiru, that is the white hoseki that is said to improve the owner of the black hoseki. The wounds caused by Hoseki disappeared little by little on Teiru's body.
"Alright, I understand the intent of fixing in the book. Thankfully I was able to handle it.”
SRIINGO!
They then went out of dimension and returned to Himeji's boutique.
“Ternal Seeji - san is one of the owners yes.?”
Himeji saw them appear just like that because they came out of the dimension.
‘Himeji - san! I forgot about my dimension!’
Himeji is separated from him when Seeji and Teiru enter into the dimension. Seeji and Teiru disappear in front of Himeji who is still on the floor.
Seeji had no other choice but to explain everything.
--------------
“So so... Seeji..”
“I'm sorry, Himeji - san... Musubime - san will be asleep for a while, he will not remember about this incident.”
'The love of the owner of the black hoseki will surely be locked by the white hoseki, as if everything had never happened, his mind was sealed by my fuin earlier. That's the effect of white hoseki.'
Seeji thought in his mind about the white light and the aftermath of the sealing of the black hoseki.
“It's okay Seeji, you don't have to apologize, I didn't think my son could experience this... I've seen something like this when I was your age.”.
“Really?”
“Yes. That power increases one's abilities, talents, emotions, as well as five senses to beyond the limit. Musubime's ability is just sewing, without a machine, he can make clothes. Know it? He once sewed his slashed hands for 5 cm...
"But if he sews the hands of the workers until they are injured, it is dangerous.
“Himeji - san, your hands are fine?”
“Yes, I'm fine. But your hand is hurt, Seeji. You better treat your wounds first. Your clothes are also torn, can I fix it?”
“Ehm, sure.”
“Sign in to my room, Seeji.”
Himeji then treated Seeji and sewed his torn clothing sleeves.
'White Hoseki appears only to 'fix' the owner of the black hoseki..'
“If not wrong.. hoseki it is a legend right? So it's real huh..?”
Himeji told me while sewing Seeji's clothes. Seeji just fell silent.
“You must have just started your journey.... Is there no one to accompany you? A girl as beautiful as you can't come out alone..”.
Seeji remembers when Reeji asked him to take her.
“I don't want to involve others..”.
“Is that? You don't have to worry, every color will complement each other.... You know that the colors in this world are not just one right? Other colors will be side by side just like a rainbow.”.
“You mean, Himeji - san... There are still owners of colored hoseki like me?”
“I think so Seeji... colored hoseki will be stronger if they are side by side.... If I'm not mistaken, the name of the owner of hoseki is called petals, right?”
“How...Himeji - san know about..”
“That's easy..the legend of hoseki has been passed down generations told in every family, but not many care about it..”.
’I only know... But no illumination about petals... That means I am one of the petals?’
“Can.... You tell me more.... Himeji - san..?”
“Sorry Seeji, I'm too old to remember that old incident..it was about half a century ago..
They talk to each other until Seeji's shirt is finished.
“What do you think? Seeji?”
Himeji showed the results of his attachment who replaced his arm with a short sleeve.
“That's great.”
"It's your thing?"
"Eh?"
"I've only ever seen this dress, from the model, somewhat similar to a special tea ceremony dress..."
“Alright, I'll wear it.”
“But outside the new winter, you definitely can't get out with a short outfit.”
“No problem for me."
“No, let me help you this time.”
Himeji went to her wardrobe and picked up something.
“Try use.”
“?”
Seeji then wore the long black suit Himeji offered.
SYYUUTS
“Suit once."
Himeji smiled as she expressed her opinion.
“Really?”
“Yes, you really look like him.”.
“Who?”
“Someone I knew first. That blazer I kept for a long time.Receive it, it's a gift from me..”.
“Himeji - san. I think I will go straight away again.”
“You won't continue working?”
“I'm quite happy to be able to help you. But after what I heard earlier from you, Himeji-san, I can't stay here.”
“You can come here anytime Seeji.. Take it easy, your secret is safe with me."
"Eh? It's..."
"I feel bad for you if you leave empty-handed, so keep my allowance from Seeji.. “
Seeji then touched the pocket of the suit. There's a sheet in it.
“Himeji - san..!” Seeji was a little embarrassed.
“No need to hesitate..”.
“Thank you very much, Himeji - san”
“It is precisely I who should thank Seeji, you helped me a lot. Be careful - be careful.”.
“I'm sorry, Himeji - san”
Seeji then exited through the back door and closed it. He looked at the kyusin and the workers who had just returned from the celebration.
“Thankfully everything went without any problems.”.
“Yes, the shirt of the canal is great!”
“Dragon yourself, Kyusin" Seeji spoke behind Kyusin as he passed by.
“Seeji - san?”
SYYUUTS
By the time Kyusin turned around, Seeji had already disappeared and teleported into his dimension. Level one dimension.
SRIIIEING
The dimension was broad in size and consisted of a stretch of quartz land and several blocks floating above it. He then went in to open his tome and wrote the information he got.
‘Hoseki enhances the special ability that a person has.’
"I was really careless. but fortunately Himeji - san understand..."
‘Destroyed blessing is one of the reasons black hoseki is able to enter a person's body slowly.’
"I don't understand what's going on in this land yet..."
‘Hoseki owners are called petals.'
For a moment Seeji saw a black hoseki in one of the hidden parts of the dimension. The place holds the hoseki it sealed.
'What should I do with that hoseki....? I just took it off and could not purify it completely.'
Seeji then went out of his dimension and left.
'Teiru must have felt annoyed at her mother, then at that time the black hoseki took advantage of her. I thought that was what caused the power of the black hoseki to develop inside his body.
'What do you mean be polite to me but you tried to kill me?!'
'You know, 'I did hurt him anyway.
'Killing what is in a person....
'When sealing the teiru earlier, I somehow like a killer who killed his target. But, if the black hoseki makes me look like a killer....
'Black Hoseki, where are you from? And how do you get into those desperate people?
'And why do people who have black hoseki, or now I can call Black Petals, have dark hearts?'
Seeji glanced at the towering hill behind the two-story houses of marble bricks. The green hill with the largest tree stands in the middle, a place in the legend that Himeji told me a moment ago
-------------------------------------------
Once upon a time, a beautiful flower shone among the dry countryside, where it was ruled by a man who thirsted for treasure and employed people like slaves. The seven chosen people found it and used it to turn the barren dry land into a fertile area. Overcome the inhumane and release them from command. From land to land, from place to place, they solve the problems that exist so that all who live there, who initially almost face death get happiness. The 7 people eventually became known as "Shining Petals".
They managed to use the ability of that shining flower. The seven chosen ones used each flower petal with different abilities on each petal so that the petal became a jewel. The middle part of the flower they keep as a sign of existence.
Yet someone who cunningly took and abused the abilities of that middle component, the originally pure power ended up being stained by the darkness of the heart. Wanting to turn that land of happiness back into a source of infinite power.
Seven people who own the petals of the flower struggle to stop the actions of people who use the center of the gem flower that they keep all this time. When they could almost bring back the stained gem, he obliterated himself and the other jewel so that the 7 petals were carried away by the current.
Their existence disappeared, yet their light was still felt by the person who had obtained happiness from them. Previously the user of the center of the flower stuck his weapon to the ground so that the ground moves and forms a hill as a sign of the magnitude of the battle power of hoseki, so that the hill was finally called the hill hoseki. And the weapon he had planted turned into a giant tree whose leaves glittered.
That said, they would meet again in battle to settle their affairs. But the sparkle of the jewel will still carry the destiny that finally formed in their final battle on the hill formed by the hoseki flower.
-----------------------
Someone in a black robe saw him from afar.
“Hm, he managed to do it, I wonder.... What are you gonna do next? Seeji Utsuki's...."
