Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger

5.9 Memory Of Mother And Son

“These kids… I can’t believe it!” It was the only reaction that Genma could say as he, Hideoki, and his daughter Kanako were watching the ongoing battle from the rooftop of one of the buildings near the Four Clubs on the right.

The Seitengers didn’t know that the three of them were there and it was a good thing. They didn’t want to cause worries to the young warriors as they fought the Triske Monster causing trouble for the second time. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they were not going to see the way the Seitengers fight the Tareans.

In this case, however, there was a different agenda.

“That same bright light… But to see it again so soon…” Even Kanako couldn’t form a coherent sentence based on what they had observed from their position.

“So it’s Eichirou’s turn this time, huh?” Hideoki commented, mainly to himself. “But if we had to base it on the progress that they’re making with regards to their training, then this kind of miracle is just a matter of time before it finally appears to them.”

“An Elemental Guide awakening this soon just after the first one that Shuichi now possesses… Such a feat has never happened before in the history of the Vessels,” Kanako said as she continued watching the area currently surrounded in bright blue light that could only come from the current Vessel of the Heavenly Water Spirit Guardian’s Powers.”

“I'm not sure if you can still call this a miracle or something else is in the works here for this to happen.”

Genma was right to voice out that possible assumption, though. And yet Hideoki, with his proud smile on his face meant for what his son had achieved together with the other Vessels, had thought of something else. A conversation that took place a few days back between him and Helen.

“That kid could be right in more ways than one,” Hideoki started as he stared once again at the area that has now become a battlefield for the Seitengers and the Triske Monster. “Helen knew… that the current Seitengers could surpass their predecessors in terms of the achievements and even the level of these kids’ growth with regards to their Hasureiki.”

“But… how could Atsuko’s daughter tell that?”

Hideoki faced Genma with a somber look, one that only made the scientist frown. “It’s not only because Helen is Atsuko’s daughter and that guy’s grandniece. He trained her in a certain field for some reason to be a support to the chosen Vessels. And I’m certain that there was more to her illusory ability that she didn’t want to mention to anyone just yet.”

No one spoke a word after that. All three of them continued looking at the battlefield. Then Genma sighed.

“If what Helen told you was true, then we’ll just have to do all that we can to make them stronger. If they can surpass their predecessors, then they can achieve a feat that even the originals hadn’t done back then.”

“Argh! What is this?! I can’t see!” Macera screamed and continued growling while trying to make out what was going on.

But that was not the case for Eichirou. Despite the bright blue light that emanated in the area, he could still clearly see what was happening around him. It was a strange thing. But he knew he had to take advantage of it. Especially at the moment when that bright light appeared to be the one he once saw when Shuichi had awakened his Elemental Guide.

“Could it be? This is about an Elemental Guide?” Eichirou still asked himself as he waited for that bright light to fade even a little bit.

But it didn’t happen. Instead, he saw a floating orb in the middle of that bright light. He frowned at the sight, but didn’t feel scared or even intimidated. In fact, he started taking steps after steps after a few moments of hesitating. There was something about that orb that made him realize that it was sentient. Okay. Maybe it was just an assumption.
