[Teaser] DCO Chapter 8 Part 8

   

 TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 8





After finishing their bath, Nozomu and his friends were taken to the room that had been prepared for them after they finished their meal.

The room was a guest room where Nozomu had once stayed, and he and his friends were greeted by a clean white room with calm and tasteful furnishings.

Nozomu, for the time being, sat down on the bed that had been prepared for him, took a deep breath, and began to meditate while trying to feel the presence of his surroundings with a sense of calmness.

It was the spirit magic that Nozomu was trying to learn. To sense the presence of spirits around him.

Nozomu was told by Zonne to take a break, but he could not feel at ease without doing anything.

 

"...... Not good. I guess I really have to release the [Soul-Sealing Chains] first."

 

Nozomu meditated for about 20 minutes, but the results were not good.

He could sense the presence of Mars and the others next door, and even the birds resting on a tree in the garden, but he could not sense the slightest hint of presence that he believed to be a spirit.

According to Zonne, the strong binding power of the [Soul-Sealing Chains] also bound Nozomu's soul, shutting it off from the outside world.

Therefore, in order to sense the surrounding spirits, it was essential for him to release the [Soul-Sealing Chains].

However, once the [Soul-Sealing Chains] were released, he would be too occupied with controlling the drastically increased Qi.

With that in mind, he tried to sense the spirits without releasing the [Soul-Sealing Chains], but he still couldn't sense anything.

A sigh escaped from Nozomu's mouth.

At that moment, a knocking sound on the door echoed.

 

"Nozomu-kun, may I have a word with you?"

"Hmm? Shina, do you need something?"

 

He could hear Shina's voice through the door.

Nozomu was wondering what she needed so late at night? He tilted his head and opened the door. He involuntarily gulped when he saw Shina's figure standing in front of the door.

Shina was standing in the dimly lit corridor, wearing a light blue nightgown.

Her cheeks were slightly dyed in vermilion. Perhaps because she had just finished bathing, her long, smooth azure hair was moist and wet, and her bosom, peeking out from her nightgown, smelled sweet.

She was gripping her arms as if to hide herself, and while she was looking down in some kind of fidgety, shy way, her gaze was glancing up at Nozomu.

 

"I need to talk to you... May I come into your room?"

"Y-, yeah, sure."

 

Nozomu was at a loss for a response to Shina's meaningful words, but he urged her to enter the room.

Shina walked around the room for a while, her eyes darting in the air, and then she sat down on the edge of the bed by the window.
