"Huh? What's going on?!" Sakiko was startled by this change.
"Don't be nervous, relax a bit."
Tatsuma instructed Sakiko on how to control psychic energy.
Although he had a bunch of gold and red traits on him, that didn't mean blue traits were weak.
Like Teruki next door, who played with psychic energy and developed various uses for it.
It was perfectly normal for Sakiko, who was just an ordinary person, to lose control after suddenly gaining such powerful psychic energy.
However, with Tatsuma's guidance, Sakiko quickly got the hang of controlling psychic energy.
Looking at the various items that had landed back in the living room, Sakiko visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
These things weren't cheap. If she broke them, she would have to pay a lot of money.
"Don't relax too early, your control over psychic energy is still too rough."
Just then, Tatsuma's voice sounded again.
"Aside from physical training, you need to spend more time training with psychic energy next."
"I understand." Sakiko nodded seriously.
Although she didn't know how Tatsuma did it, she could feel that this new power in her body was very strong. To not let down Tatsuma's efforts, she secretly resolved to train this psychic energy to its limit.
"Actually, there's no need to be so serious."
Tatsuma, who had been using Senjutsu all this time, quickly noticed that Sakiko was putting pressure on herself again.
Touching his chin thoughtfully, he decided to change direction to help her relieve stress.
"Sakiko, tonight I have a new job for you."
"Please tell me."
"Help me warm the bed."
"Okay... Huh?"
Sakiko, who had replied subconsciously, suddenly realized something was wrong and froze.
"Warm... warm the bed?!"
"What? You don't want to?"
"This..."
After looking at Tatsuma for two seconds, Sakiko silently lowered her head, a blush appearing on her face.
"It's not impossible."
"Then let's go, relax tonight."
Tatsuma pulled Sakiko into the room.
What do you do if you're too stressed and lack a sense of security?
The answer is simple: inject a sufficient amount of security.
...
Having received a large dose of security, the filled Sakiko quickly fell into a dream.
Seeing the room quiet down, a certain cat who smelled the scent secretly snuck in to replenish energy.
Tatsuma stayed with Koneko until morning, only then finishing his extra training and leaving the room.
Relying on Senjutsu to recover his energy, Tatsuma, full of vitality, ran all the way to Kuoh Academy, taking Gasper with him to start a new day of training.
...
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, four more days had gone by, bringing them to the weekend.
Today was the day Sona would go to the Underworld to gamble with her fiancé to break off the engagement.
Originally, Tatsuma was planning to go with her to wander around the Underworld. However, last night, he received a message from London.
"Good afternoon, Tatsuma-san."
Meredith walked out of the airport and greeted Tatsuma, who was standing not far away.
Today, she was wearing an off-white lace dress with a dark brown belt around her waist, elegant and dignified like a young lady from a prominent family.
Walking in her small leather boots all the way to Tatsuma, Meredith reached out and brushed her long hair behind her back, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"It took some time to deal with Golden Dawn matter, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
"It wasn't that long, you arrived just in time."
Tatsuma led Meredith into the car and casually pulled out a stack of documents to hand over.
"This is the basic information on Akatsuki, you can take a look first."
"Okay."
Meredith quickly read through the information.
The composition of Akatsuki's members, Akatsuki's development plan, Akatsuki's main action targets...
It took an hour to finish reading these dozens of densely packed A4 pages filled with information.
Putting down the documents in her hand, Meredith thought for a moment before speaking, "Tatsuma-san, I have a general understanding of Akatsuki's situation. May I ask what I need to do?"
Tatsuma answered, "Recruit people to join Akatsuki, handle Akatsuki affairs for me, and create sealing tools."
"Sealing tools... Are they for sealing monsters like Evil Spirits and Cursed Spirits?"
Tatsuma replied, "Yes, so there is a certain requirement for strength."
After several days of buffering, Akatsuki had already begun to operate.
Centered in Japan, Akatsuki members dispersed throughout the world, capturing beings like Cursed Spirits and Evil Spirits. However, due to limitations in their abilities, most of Akatsuki's members were more inclined towards combat.
Defeating Cursed Spirits and Evil Spirits was not difficult, but sealing them and sending them back to Akatsuki Headquarters was a big problem.
Thanks to this, Tatsuma had only received dozens of weak, low-level Evil Spirits these past few days. After clearing them all out in one go, he gained seven green traits, with the rest being white traits.
Although it was better than the zero harvest before, Tatsuma had the idea of creating sealing tools.
Just right, Meredith was skilled in Sealing Magic. If she focused on researching it, even if she couldn't create sealing tools capable of sealing Special Grade Cursed Spirits, at the very least, she could take a step back and create tools for sealing ordinary Hollows, Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, and Grade 2 Cursed Spirits.
At that time, enough tools could be mass-produced for each Akatsuki member to carry one.
The traits he could obtain would greatly increase.
"If you don't have enough time, the job of managing the organization can be entrusted to Sho. Your most important task right now is to research sealing tools within a month. Can you do it?"
Facing Tatsuma's question, Meredith, showing a rare expression of confidence, replied, "Tatsuma-san, you underestimate me. In three days at most, I will be able to produce the first batch of sealing tools."
Tatsuma was shocked. "That fast?"
"Yes, the principle is not difficult, and your requirements are very low, three days is sufficient."
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Tatsuma thought for a moment and added, "If the effect is good, I can make an exception and help you get stronger."
Since Meredith craved strength and recognition, he would offer rewards based on her needs.
As expected, upon hearing Tatsuma's words, Meredith's motivation instantly soared.
