Chapter 206: Why Don’t You Have Love?

Listening to what Mitsue Natsume had said, Kimura Kazuki smiled, “So it really is you.”

Although he was 95% sure earlier that the real culprit was Mitsue Natsume, there was still a need for verification.

Mitsue Natsume was quick to dodge, but his flying sword was faster. If he had intended to kill him just now, it would have been an easy and quick one. He was just unable to confirm if he was the one yet.

Now that it is confirmed, he did not want to waste any more time... Looking at his surroundings, Kimura Kazuki suddenly began reminiscing.

The place where he was currently at was a place where he missed a lot, it was his first home. He could not control his own body because he was infused in a child’s body. This child was actually the young him.

“Grandfather, I am finally going to school!” said young Suhe with a bright smile on his face. “I will study hard and make lots of money for you to spend in the future.”

“Suhe, the purpose of studying is not to earn money. You should grow up to become a person who can contribute to the country, society, and your family. You must remember what I said, whereby you must become a responsible man when you grow up.” The old man’s face was full of wrinkles. After saying so, he smiled blissfully, “But of course, it is vital to earn money. You can only do the rest by having enough money.”

“No problem!” Young Suhe grinned as he waved his arm, walking out of the door and toward the school. A heartfelt joy rose from the bottom of his heart.

I can finally go to school to study and gain knowledge.

When these joyful and blessed feelings filled his heart, a broad smile spread across his face.

“So, this is the feeling of happiness to the extent of feeling blessed?” Kimura Kazuki did not resist this blissful feeling, he accepted it completely. It had been a long time since he ever felt this kind of pure happiness since he grew up, let alone feeling blessed.

Kimura Kazuki felt pleasant having the same experience again, which even made him show a genuine smile on his face. The old man was actually his grandfather, who adopted him.

At the next moment, out of the blue, his heart was filled with rage. The scene in front of him changed, when young Suhe saw his grandfather fell onto the floor, he growled with blood-red eyes while holding a fruit knife, “I’ll kill you!” He was just about to stab the chest of the man in front of him. Before he could, he was pushed to the side by his grandfather, falling down.

“Don’t kill him.” His grandfather stood up, ambled his way to young Suhe’s side, and held him up. He yelled at the man on the floor, his eyes filled with disgust, “Get lost!”

“You old man!” The man scoffed, yet still fearful when he looked at young Suhe. Petrified, he left, not daring to say any more harsh words.

Kimura Kazuki snorted when he saw this, he did not do anything but continued to feel the emotion he was experiencing in his heart. He knew that this was one of Mitsue Natsume’s spells being set up in the room, which seemed to be related to the seven emotions, but he did not resist.

Because these scenes looked alive, which made him nostalgic. These scenes could only be found in his memories, but now it appeared before him, so he was pleased.

After the rage in his heart faded, what rose in his heart was a feeling of sorrow and despair. By now, Suhe had already grown to 16 years old. He stood by the glass window, his face filled with tears while watching his grandfather lie on the bed in the intensive care unit, barely surviving with the aid of a respirator.

The feelings of despair and sorrow made Suhe look lifeless as he felt an empty hole in his heart. Kimura Kazuki endured this feeling and sighed in his heart, but he had no time for grief, he wanted to take the opportunity to have a good look at his grandfather.

The scene changed again. Five people in their uniforms, male and female, stood in front of him and looked at him with anxious eyes. One of them, who looked like a middle-aged person, said to him, “Suhe! Hang in there, you can’t let them get to your mind.”

Kimura Kazuki could feel bits and bits of evil consciousness flashing through his mind. His mind was soon filled with malicious intent as fear conquered his heart.

Feeling the emotions in this scene stunned him. It was the first time he received his mission from Spiritual Academy, which was the particular volunteering mission mentioned before.

His mission was to inspect the residence of the King of Ghosts. It was a spacious courtyard, if Cultivators of low levels were to invade the place, they would have died. However, it would do no harm toward normal humans.

When Suhe entered, his consciousness was possessed by the King of Ghosts.

In the end, Suhe won the battle of the Sea of Consciousness! A battle of consciousness would be much more dangerous than a clash of strengths. But if it were to be a battle between strengths, Suhe, an average human, would have definitely lost. He could only spectate these sorts of competitions. He was obsessed with the experience of strong involvement between life and death, which made him even more determined to become a Cultivator.

“B*stard... I can’t believe you are...”

When the King of Ghosts’ words went through his mind, Kimura Kazuki was surprised. Back then, after the battle of consciousness, he felt dizzy. He had heard these words but did not think much of them, and soon he forgot. After listening clearly this time, he was doubtful, this must be a memory of the King of Ghosts’ last words from his subconscious.

But its spirit vanished before the sentence was finished.

The information was insufficient, so even if he had listened to everything clearly now, he still could not predict the rest of it.

The scene changed again while he was pondering, back to the very first scene.

“Impossible... don’t you have love?” He then heard a surprised voice, vaguely, not too sure of the source. Little Cart could not see the illusions Kimura Kazuki was watching, but he could feel his inner emotions.

This voice...

“So you are the Tsukumogami? I see you are the guardian of this spell.” Kimura Kazuki laughed, “I don’t have love? How is that possible? My love is the love for my family, not the love of affection for another person. The emotions of love that you have been gathering is a love of affection, not family love! Mitsue Natsume really had shallow thinking. There exist different types of love in this world, be it big or small... But all you valued was the love of affection, how distorted.”

“You... How are you able to hear my voice?” Little Cart was just lamenting out of surprise, but now he panicked. Once a person enters the Seven Emotions Confusion Spell, that person would be entirely engulfed by the past emotions until they suffered an emotional breakdown. That would be the weakest moment of the person and he would have no power to defend himself at all.

Kimura Kazuki smiled slightly and did not reply. Instead, he exclaimed, “I do have to thank you for letting me see some of these scenes. However, I must say that this spell is still flawed.” He was not familiar with spells as he did not explore them, but he was still much better than the people from the Dharma Ending Age.

He found at least four flaws in Mitsue Natsume’s spell.

With that thought in mind, Kimura Kazuki used the powers of his consciousness, and the surrounding scene changed at an instant. He arrived at the scene for ‘anger.’ When his grandfather pushed him away before he had a chance to say anything, he killed the man in one shot with the fruit knife he was holding.

This man, he was unidentified even up till now, and his grandfather did not tell him as well. However, he was no longer interested in his identity...

The man groaned when his heart was stabbed by the knife. The illusions began to fade, and the secret room reappeared before him once again.

He took two steps forward and his eyes turned bright as he activated the Peeking Eyes. His hands were now filled with reiki. Then, he slowly worked his way through the haze, and soon he touched something round.

He pulled back his arms and saw a small bowl in his hands.

When he saw Little Cart, the Tsukumogami who was terrified, Kimura Kazuki said calmly, “Can you withdraw the spell now?”

A flawed spell would definitely be overpowered by the Peeking Eyes.
