She wanted to have the light?

Was she asking for his help?

Seiji slowly put down his hands and looked at Shika once more.

"Didn’t I just say it? I’d like to help in any way I can, if I can be of service."

"…So you’ve agreed?" Shika was still looking at him intently.

Her tone of voice and gaze were both calm, but her beautiful eyes seemed to contain some deep emotions within them.

Seiji looked directly at her.

This sounded like a perfectly ordinary confirmation question, but for some reason, Seiji felt Shika’s question… might not be ordinary at all.

This felt like Kyubey cutely asking if he wanted to sign a contract to become a magical girl… er, was this analogy a bad one?

At any rate, Seiji had the premonition that something big would happen if he promised her directly.

But so what?

‘I’m the physical actualization of light, and light is fearless!’

…Of course not! Why was his brain thinking such things!?
