Chapter 1878 Sei -Part 7

"Sei, why do you not want to leave her?" Suzaku asked as she played a background tune for Sei so that she would not feel too lonely talking in this broken dungeon instance and it was something soothing so this might have calmed her temper a little. Why stop something when it is not broken?

"She had been alone all this time. For Ryuli\'s entire life, she had been training to be the best so that she would not be abandoned." 

"Well... at least I still have my grandpa with me but at times he is not entirely the best person to be under as well. So, I kind of get what you mean." Jin suddenly talked and Sei turned alert. 

"Chill, Sei. It\'s the user. He is the one that Ming had asked us to be in." Suzaku said but Sei was a little perturbed by the voice.

"You… I remember you. Show me your face." Sei said and Jin was confused. 

lightsΝοvel "Sei. What do you wish to do?" Suzaku asked with a little bit of seriousness in her tone. "Why do you want to see his face for?" 

"Let me see. I promise I will not attack you if you do what as I said. If we are going to fight, I will make sure that we are on equal footing. I swear under my clan\'s honour." Sei said and Suzaku told Jin that it should be fine.

"If she swore it under her clan, she would not do anything that would backstab you. Sei and Ryuu had always put the clan first before anything else." Suzaku said as she finished her current zither\'s verse and stopped. 

With a deep breath, Suzaku pulled out the helmet that Jin was wearing and showed it to Sei. 

"How can it be." Sei was in shock. "You should have been a little kid twenty over years ago and we would not have been in your care. There is …what I do not understand." Sei kept talking to herself but it was within the range of Jin and Suzaku. Now that Jin had showed his face, Suzaku was in the backseat of body possession. 

"Look. Are you asking how you got separated from your brother or you saw a similar \'me\' when you were separated from Ryuu and had been sucked into Ryuli when she was young?" Jin asked and Sei kept quiet for a moment before answering.

"The latter. But that is impossible. You should be a young infant and Ming just caught us. There is no way you can accidentally…" 

"Time Magic." Jin declared the most absurd explanation of them all. "That temple belonged to the Butterfly Clan and they were Time Magic specialists…or that is what my fellow colleague told me previously. That is the only explanation I can give you. The fact that you saw me, I can no longer deny that what I did was a dream and instead real. 

"I gave my Maqi to Ryuli and might have accidentally sent you into Ryuli when it happened. If that was the case, all I can say is I am deeply truly sorry that I separated you from your brother. If you do not wish to leave Ryuli alone after what she had been through, I cannot blame you nor force you otherwise." Jin said as he bowed his head a little to apologise.

"If you need to. We can continue with the fight and let your twenty year accumulation of hate be directed toward me and me only. For I had no idea what the fuck was happening at that point of time and the only thing I could think of was to help the poor kid." Jin apologised once more and Sei calmed down a little.

"Then my brother…" 

"How about this Sei? Give me some time. A little more time. Your brother is within my subconscious and I do not how to extract him other than to have him acknowledge me. However, seeing that both you and Ryuu had some previous feud that had not been resolved, I would need all the help I can get to wake your brother up."

"If she leaves Ryuli, she will not be able to return," Suzaku said Jin and Sei even repeated the same reasoning why she is not leaving Ryuli.

"Okay. Then are you able to wait a little while longer? If everything goes well, perhaps I could erm…get Ryuu to wake his senses up and see some reason. After that, I will send him to you. What do you say about that?" 

"Hey, if you do that, you would only have three Cardinals protecting you. There might be no way for you to avert future calamity if there is one. At the very least if you have Ryuu with you, we might be able to get away with 3.5 Cardinals." 

"What is this Calamity you are talking about?"

"Honestly, the Cardinals have no idea as well but we know that it is something that would happen in time. Be it the advent of the Banned Emperor, we have to be prepared for it." Suzaku replied.

"Can\'t we just ask Ryuli to come and help when that happens? After all, you don\'t have to be within me, right to avert the Calamity? Instead, you all need to come out as well. Then if that\'s the case, why not get Ryuli to handle Seiryuu\'s portion?" 

"If you do that, it is best that the System recommend you take in Ryuli as part of your employee." The System does not exactly know the full story but it knows from the short explanation that to prevent possible Calamity, four Cardinals must be around."
