Chapter 15
Chapter 15 - My Guardian Spirit Is the Strongest, So Even the Otherworld Is a Cakewalk!
Tomochika was dumbfounded upon seeing her older sister floating about in her hotel room .
That alone was already strange, but on top of that her sister was currently in a different world .
"It's you . . . right?"
Could it be that she had been summoned as well?
Did she die and turn into a ghost?
Or had she finally acquired the mastery of floating in the air?
Tomochika viewed any explanation she could come up with as plausible; her sister, Chihara Dannoura, was just that far beyond the confines of common sense .
『Would you please not compare me to such a person!』
The voice resounded within Tomochika's head .
She may have been told not to compare the two, but Tomochika couldn't think of the voice as any other than her sister's .
"Nonono, there's no way you aren't my sister . I've got some decent confidence there's no other living being that high up on the weirdness scale, okay?"
A small but wide frame, far surpassing "plump" and entering the territory of "round," that was her sister . With even just her silhouette being enough to identify her at once, for Tomochika to mistake her was unthinkable .
『You shall call me Mokomoko Dannoura! Wife of the son of the founder of the Dannoura-Style, called the rejuvenator of the Dannoura dynasty and the guardian deity of House Dannoura; your ancestor, your ever-watchful spirit and your guardian angel!』
"Could you not cram everything into one sentence!? I can't even throw in a retort! Let's see, the son's rep, rejuvenator of the dynasty . . . just how badly did our family stagnate since then!?"
『Tsk tsk . Absolutely hopeless! You tried, but that was no good at all!』
"Did I just get scolded by a ghost!?"
And Tomochika realized: maybe she wasn't talking to her sister after all .
Her sister was the silly act to her straight-man act, she would never complain about the quality of Tomochika's jokes .
"So . . . you aren't actually my sister?"
『I'm Mokomoko Dannoura!』
"And you're here why?"
If she was her guardian angel then wasn't she supposed to stay hidden from her?
『Certainly, as your spiritual protector my role is only to stay with you and fend off evil spirits . However, with a situation this much of a mess I can hardly stay idle and watch, so I decided to actively help . But why talk while standing, feel free to set your bags aside and take a seat . 』
"Um, thanks, I'll do that . "
Technically Mokomoko should have just been a suspicious stranger to Tomochika, but she felt it oddly difficult to oppose her . Maybe it was due to the reminiscence to her sister, but Mokomoko didn't really give off the feeling of a stranger .
Tomochika put her bags on the floor and sat down on the bed .
"Is it fine if I ask a couple questions?"
『Ask whatever you wish!』
"Why did you wait this long to show yourself? Haven't there been several situations you could have helped out in already?"
『I was waiting for you to be alone . That youngster with you is seriously scary!』
"Youngster? Oh, Takatoo-kun?"
『Right . If I showed up out of nowhere I might have been erased on the spot, so, well, I'd appreciate it if you could tell him about my existence as soon as tomorrow . 』
"I can do that, but . . . you're a ghost, right? Can Takatoo-kun even kill you?"
Yogiri's power was certainly incredible, but could it be used on something vague like a ghost? Tomochika had her doubts .
『As a decently high ranking divine spirit myself I can instinctively tell when things are trouble, and that youngster is triggering that instinct big time . 』
"Hm, alright then, I'll talk with him and you should be fine . So next, what was that about coming to my help?"
『Mhm, indeed . If I were to put it like a title of one of those recently popular web novels, it would be something like「My Guardian Spirit Is the Strongest, So Even the Other World Is a Cakewalk!」』
