Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Kazuhiko typed and explained the situation to little Anna . "Anyways, I think his att.i.tude is alright, which is why I'm allowing him to speak to you directly . "

"Understood . "

"I'll hand the cell phone over to him, then . "

Kazuhiko changed his cell phone to speakerphone mode before giving it to Seiji .

"h.e.l.lo, Harano-san," Little Anna greeted Seiji .

"h.e.l.lo, Annsan," Seiji greeted the little girl on Haiga's cell phone screen .

This version of "Anna" appeared younger than the "Anna" in the cell phone game . Apart from the fact that her physical appearance was now that of a loli's, her voice also sounded younger and purer .

"Haigsan already explained the situation to you, I believe . You were probably able to search up some information related to me as well . "

"Yes . "

"I won't beat around the bush, then . I prefer the direct approach," Seiji had a serious expression . "Annsan, what do you think of humans?"

"To me, humans are my observational targets," little Anna replied .

"Observational targets?"

"Yes, I'm currently observing humans and learning relevant human knowledge . "

"So, you're saying that the current you won't harm humans?"

"Yes . "

"What about in the future?"

"I may harm humans in certain special circ.u.mstances . "

"What special circ.u.mstances?"

"If Kazuhiko's safety or my existence are threatened by humans . "

"So, you're saying that you'll counterattack if Haigsan's or your life is endangered?"

"Yes . "

"Defending oneself when in danger is fine . The question is of the degree of action you take . Will your reprisal affect the innocent?"

"It won't . "

"Absolutely won't?" Seiji took a good look at little Anna .

"…I can't guarantee that any reprisal can be completely controlled not to affect innocent bystanders," Little Anna admitted it after a pause .

"If you kept insisting that it wouldn't affect anyone uninvolved, I wouldn't have believed it," Seiji stated . "Annsan, although humans live together in a society, they're also individuals that are all different from each other . If anyone threatens you or Haigsan, please try not to cause too much damage when attacking them in self-defense, so that you can avoid harming the innocent . Some people… perhaps many people might consider your existence to be a natural threat to human society . Please, don't truly consider humans to be your enemies just because of those people . People with such thoughts can only represent themselves, not the entirety of humanity . No matter what, as long as you treat people kindly, there will be people that treat you kindly as well . "

Something flashed in little Anna's eyes when she heard this .

"The cell phone game 'Anna' is attracting more and more attention . Meanwhile, Haigsan is refusing to cooperate with any other game companies or to sell his game . As this goes on, it's highly possible that someone may attempt to threaten him in the future . " Seiji glanced over at Haiga . "To be honest, my personal opinion is that it would be the wisest course of action for Haigsan to simply sell the rights to the 'Anna' cell phone game, make a large amount of money, and retire . However, Haigsan obviously has a different opinion . "

"Of course . I'll never sell Anna!"

"In that case, you need a partner who's both strong and trustworthy . Haigsan, do you think you can find such a partner?"

Haiga remained silent .

"There's an ancient proverb in Huaxia . The gist of the proverb is that an innocent ordinary person who receives a priceless treasure will be marked by the whole world as someone guilty . I believe that Haigsan should be able to understand what this means," Seiji continued . "Although Sakura Island is a law-based society, there's so many methods by which powerful and rich individuals can steal away something that an ordinary person owns . Not only that, there're also others with powers similar to mine that can use techniques unimaginable to ordinary people . Haigsan, if you don't hurry and find an appropriate partner, perhaps… you'll have a bad outcome in the end . "

"I will protect Kazuhiko," little Anna stated .

"In that case, Annsan, you'll attract even more attention if you show off your power . Even if you defeat whoever's threatening him, there will be even more powerful enemies in the future . " Seiji looked at her .

Little Anna remained silent .

"I apologize for saying all these unpleasant things . Still, this is the reality . Your situation is becoming dangerous . Things are growing riskier every second . " Seiji paused for a moment . "I recommend you to stop with this cell phone game and to immediately dissolve your gaming laboratory and for you all to quietly disappear . "

Haiga frowned upon hearing this .

"I can provide the money necessary to send off all your employees if necessary, as well as protect you to a certain extent . In exchange, you would need to do some things for me as well," Seiji told him in a low voice . "I promise not to make you do anything unreasonable, as well as guarantee your freedom . "

Haiga and little Anna both looked towards him .

"It's all up to you whether you accept my recommendation or not . " Seiji had a calm expression . "I'm being sincere with my words . However, I also understand that you won't immediately trust a stranger, especially since I'm only a high school student . That's all I have to say . Here's my cell phone number . If you need anything from me in the future, please give me a call . "

Seiji told little Anna his cell phone number and then returned Haiga's cell phone . He then stood up and said goodbye .

"Oh, right…"

Seiji recalled something and turned around after walking off a few steps .

"If you are ever threatened by a Spiritual Ability user and find yourself in a tough situation that you can't deal with, you could try saying that you're 'under the protection of the Haruta Yin Yang Master Family . ' That might help to protect you . "

Seiji then left for real this time .

Haiga silently watched him leave .

"Anna, what do you think?"

"I didn't notice any signs of lying at all," little Anna told him . "Based on all relevant information I could search on him, my basic conclusion is that he's a good person . "

"Do you think that we should accept his advice?"

"Creating a game can bring joy to many people along with earning a salary for your hard work . This is your dream, Kazuhiko . His advice goes against your life's dream, so I don't think you should accept . "

Haiga remained silent for a long time after hearing this .

Later that night, at the student council president's residence .

"How was your chat with Kazuhiko Haiga?" Natsuya immediately asked this upon seeing Seiji .

"Not bad . I confirmed that 'Anna' doesn't seem to be dangerous for the time being," Seiji responded . "I don't know what might happen in the future, though… so I left him my phone number . "

Natsuya didn't say anything more on this topic . Instead, she turned to look at s.h.i.+ka Kagura who was next to Seiji .

"Good evening, Kagursan . "

"Good evening, Yoruhansan . "

Both of them greeted each other calmly .

s.h.i.+ka was here today in order to complete the Spirit-branded Retainer contract with Seiji .

Natsuya's as well as. .h.i.taka and Rana's overlapping Spirit-branded Retainer contracts with Seiji had all expired while they were in the hospital .

Seiji hadn't immediately contracted s.h.i.+ka as his Spirit-branded Retainer after leaving the hospital because he needed some time for his Spiritual Power to recover .

By now, he was fully recovered . That meant it was time to contract s.h.i.+ka as he had promised her .

Natsuya felt a strange feeling well up inside her as she looked at s.h.i.+ka .

Natsuya felt as if she was watching her ex-husband getting married to his mistress… No, wait!!

'What's with this thought of mine? Why did I suddenly have such a terrible a.n.a.logy pop up in my mind!?' Natsuya mentally commented on herself .

Still, it really did feel somewhat like that…

s.h.i.+ka was looking at Natsuya as well . Suddenly, s.h.i.+ka's mouth arced upwards slightly .

Natsuya was astonished to see this .

s.h.i.+ka's subtle smile that seemed to carry deep meaning disappeared in a flash, almost as if she had never smiled at all .
