“Mystical connection"

"That's not it~" a lazy-sounding female voice spoke up in his mind.

Seiji paused for a moment out of surprise at suddenly hearing this voice. It took him a few seconds to recall who this was.

This was his newly bonded spirit!

Apart from saying a few words when she was summoned for him, this mysterious female spirit had always been "sleeping" at all other times. He recalled that Natsuya had guessed that she was...

"Tamamo-no-Mae?"

"Hmm? You believe that I'm that nine-tailed golden fox?" The female spirit chuckled lightly. "That's not it, either~"

"If you're not Tamamo-no-Mae, then just who…"

"My name is unimportant. What's important right now is this beautiful young lady, right?"

Seiji fell silent at this.
