After leaving school, Seiji walked to the construction site from yesterday and boarded a car owned by the Juumonji group.

When he reached their residence, he entered Michirou Juumonji's study again and began to recount the story that he had prepared to Michirou, in order to enable the Juumonji group to understand the current situation. Seiji made sure not to reveal too many details.

As Michirou Juumonji expressed his gratitude, Seiji took the opportunity to request his assistance, and it didn't take much considering on Michirou's part for him to readily agree.

This was doubtlessly the best outcome.

In fact, the proceedings were uncannily smooth. This gave Seiji a peculiar feeling about the whole scenario.

Michirou Juumonji was a mafia boss, and even though he treated Seiji politely, it should have been obvious that there was something more behind this request. Seiji didn't expect Michirou to acquiesce so easily.

Although Seiji considered it strange, he didn't display anything untoward on his face. At any rate, as long as Michirou agreed, Seiji considered his mission successful.

Afterwards, Michirou invited Seiji to stay for dinner, but Seiji refused, saying he was busy.

Surprisingly, yet again, Michirou didn't insist; all he did was speak a sentence filled with deep meaning as they parted ways.

"In the future, I hope that... Haruta-sama will take excellent care of my daughter and son, and give them lots of advice."

Seiji failed to grasp the profound meaning behind this sentence.

Forget about it; it was fine as long as Michirou agreed to provide his assistance.

"President, the Juumonji group has agreed to help us."

Seiji called the president to make a report while he walked towards the confectionery shop.

"There were no problems; everything went really well... Although the mafia boss's attitude was slightly strange, it shouldn't be anything of concern. I'll accept your gratitude. I didn't really do anything all that amazing; just take it as me repaying your favor."

'Let's just leave it at that.' Seiji relaxedly hung up his cell phone.

On the other side of the call, Natsuya, who was still in the student council room, was the complete opposite of relaxed.

The extremely difficult problem she previously faced now had a hope of being resolved due to the boy who had just called her. As long as she was able to quickly mass-produce as many talismans as possible to enhance her detection spell, she'd be able catch the enemy's Spirit-branded Retainer efficiently!

"I owe him a huge favor..."

The lady scion with sleek, long black hair was seated in the chair reserved for the student council president. She currently wore a different type of frustrated expression.

Although Seiji Haruta acted like it wasn't a big deal to him, and perhaps it wasn't that difficult for him, Natsuya regarded his assistance with this matter a huge favor for her.

If it wasn't for Seiji's help, and the current situation persisted, Natsuya would be forced to use her last resort plan. Except from that, she didn't have any other methods left. And even if she used her final trump card, there was still a chance of failure.

If the present situation developed without changing, the end result could have devastating consequences for Natsuya and her two Spiritual Retainers, Hitaka and Rana... The ending was so horrifying that Natsuya didn't even dare to consider it.
