Novel Full Chapter 1318 The Soul Mirror

“It has been over a thousand years since the last time I saw my cute Kaguya-chan! How is she doing so far?” Ame no Seimei continued yapping nonstop. “Ah, I’m sorry about this though. It was my fault that you ended here. You see, the magical contract I created with her was very strong so even after I died its trace remained as leftover magic… She must have not realized this when she made the Soul Orbs for you!”
“I-I see… So that happened,” I nodded. “Well, she’s fine I think. She’s doing alright. She seems healthy and well… she’s quite cunning as well. And knows what to do… she’s quite smart.”
“Interesting, so she had become more cunning then?” nodded Abe no Seimei. “I remember her when she was just a little sapling, she was the cutest little thing! I grew her up myself, did you know? She always called me when I came back home from the garden.”
“So she was a little sapling back then…” I nodded. “That’s interesting… And cute. So I ended coming her because of your residual magic?”
“Yes, it most likely created a connection between your mind and my realm,” he said. “Well, you could call this a Divine Realm, perhaps? As I’ve ascended into a Kami thanks to the Legends created after my death, and also because of being a half-kitsune, I was able to create this little world of mine.”
“Well that’s quite… Interesting,” I muttered. “Hm, ah! This is really good…”
I ended tasting the tea, then eating the mochi and the rice crackers. Everything was surprisingly delicious and more flavorful than I imagined.
“I can’t believe these two snacks were made using rice,” I said, looking at them. “They’re so different.”
“Yes, that’s right. Rice is the most important food in Japan,” he said. “It is said to even have sacred powers! Did you know that there are multiple Kamis of Harvest, Rice, and Vegetables? It is a very holy food that had fed Japan since its very beginning, when it was introduced by China. All the way back in the Jomon Era, or perhaps even earlier.”
“Is that so…” I nodded.
“When you eat this rice, you’re also tasting Japan’s history,” he smiled. “Isn’t it wonderful?”
“I-I guess?” I wondered. “It is nice…” Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
I guess he was indeed Japanese if he loved everything about it and talked in such a way about the country, damn.
Anyways, I can’t distract myself for too long in here, I need to get things done.
“So anyways, I’m afraid I can’t really stay here for too long, Abe,” I said. “So I was wondering if you could help me get things done?”
“Oh, of course, I’m sorry for keeping you around for too long,” he nodded. “I’m really grateful you’ve listened to me for this time. So I’ll happily help you. First, let’s see… where did I place that thing?”
Abe no Seimei stood up and started looking around the room, until he finally fond something, it was like a moon-shaped mirror finely decorated with gold and letters around it.
“Here it is! The Soul Mirror,” he said. “Here, please hold this.”
“Eh?”
I held the mirror and suddenly, instead of my reflection, I saw a list of… Spells, and my Physique Abilities?!

Abe no Seimei took a peek as he nodded, gasping.
“Oh wow! What is this! You have so many Spells and Abilities, Elayne-san! This is incredible.”
He seemed amazed, as he checked them all one by one.
I felt a bit embarrassed he was looking at such important information that I don’t like revealing to anybody.
“So why did you give me this?” I asked.
“Why? Well, it is so I can see what you have so we can think what’s the best thing you need,” he smiled. “The two Soul Orbs you absorbed will let you combine five Spells or these Abilities together into something completely new based in their power and also on your greatest desire and what you want this new power to fulfill! When I obtained my first Soul Orb is when I awakened my true power as an Onmyōji, did you know? It’s very important.”
“So that’s how it works…” I nodded. “Okay then.”
“Now tell me, Elayne, what do you want the most right now?” he asked. “What do you think will help you in your current predicaments?”
“I want…”
