Chapter 416: The Promise with Fujiwara
After Kaguya Sigong took Hayasaka Ai out, Fujiwara Chika finally slowly exhaled in relief.
"What just happened?"
She completely did not understand how she had so easily seen through Kaguya's true thoughts just now, discovered that Kaguya was as if already dating Ren Amamiya, and even caught Kaguya's emotional flaw, causing Kaguya to be unable to bear it and flee quickly.
"This is the extraordinary ability of the Audience at this stage."
Hearing the voice, she immediately turned around and saw Ren Amamiya moving his slightly stiff body.
Looking at Ren Amamiya now, she could also see through that emotion: discomfort and awkwardness, which fit her cognition and understanding of Ren Amamiya very well.
Fujiwara Chika also re-cognized the power she possessed.
"Spirit and observation are the excellent aspects of the Audience. It is precisely because of this spirit and observation that the Audience can more easily observe information that others cannot observe, and can summarize these pieces of information into the other party's true thoughts."
"Just as I said, low-sequence Audiences do not possess outstanding personal combat abilities, but what the Audience is good at from the beginning is not combat, but observation, which is also the prerequisite preparation for the Sequence 8 Mind Reader."12
"After promoting to Sequence 8 Mind Reader, your observation will become even sharper, allowing you to grasp the other party's heart more clearly, and even achieve abilities like mind reading."
After moving his stiff body, Ren Amamiya seriously began to explain and introduce things to Fujiwara.
"Eh~ I think the ability I have now is already very powerful."
Although she was still unclear about what the power system she belonged to was like, Fujiwara Chika truly felt that the extraordinary ability the Audience received was already very powerful.
Being able to see through a person's true thoughts just by using observation is an ability that is simply beyond imagination.
From what she knew, such abilities were mostly obtained only through years of accumulated experience, yet she had easily obtained such an ability just by drinking a potion, which was simply beyond imagination.
"The side effects are quite large, though."
This sentence made Fujiwara Chika recall the not-so-good memories from yesterday; her body shrank back a bit, as that was simply the worst memory for her.
She glanced at Ren Amamiya sitting on the sofa, then secretly glanced toward the direction of the door, and in a few quick steps threw herself into Ren Amamiya's arms.
After throwing herself into that embrace, that feeling of security made Fujiwara Chika's trembling body temporarily stop trembling.
"Ren Amamiya... what exactly was that?"
She really found it hard to imagine how it could have turned into that state.
"Loss of control... corruption... this is the price that must be paid to obtain power."
However, when saying this, Ren Amamiya's face was also filled with confusion.
"I actually reminded you about this issue before you drank the potion, but even I did not pay too much attention to this problem."
"Why?"
Fujiwara Chika did not understand.
"Because the danger of low-sequence potions is actually not very great; it should not result in the loss of control and corruption phenomena that occurred in your case. If it were a self-mixed potion, perhaps there would be some reason, but the potion you received was already mixed by the Diary, making the possibility of such an occurrence even lower."
"My spirituality also did not give me sufficient warning. And in fact, that is indeed the case."
This was also a rather strange question for Ren Amamiya.
Having walked three paths, his sensitivity to danger was actually quite strong, especially as he absorbed the spiritual imprint within the potion; he was actually even more sensitive to danger.
But this sensitivity did not produce any reaction regarding Fujiwara's problem; this was a very strange issue.
Of course, an even stranger issue was another problem.
"Actually, loss of control is almost an irreversible state; only a higher status can suppress the reaction of loss of control. I also possess this portion of status, so I have enough confidence to suppress this situation."
"But in reality, I merely used my spirituality to soothe your condition, and your symptoms of loss of control were alleviated, and the corruption that appeared in your spirit vanished completely under my gaze."
"It was not the kind that was hidden away, but rather vanished completely and thoroughly."
"I think it is precisely because of this point that my spirituality did not give me the corresponding warning. Because my spirituality was telling me that this was not a problem."
Because it was not a crisis, no corresponding warning would appear.
This was also the answer Ren Amamiya had obtained.
However, he also reflected on this matter.
"I was also a bit too trusting of my own spiritual feelings. Actually, I should have been more cautious; if I had performed some divination on your condition before you drank the potion, knowing in advance, then I would not have let you experience that bad thing."
Listening to Ren Amamiya's explanation, Fujiwara Chika roughly understood what had happened to her.
"In short, what happened to me was just an accident, right?"
"Absolutely not."
On this point, Ren Amamiya was certain.
