Miracle Summoner

While Rozen and Kyouko were star gazing as part of their assignment to locate Natsume and Suzuka, a sedan was driving through a street some distance away from their hotel.

Inside the car were three people—one man and two women.

The two women were engaged in an animated conversation, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

The only man, however, sat in the driver's seat with a troubled expression.

"Seriously, they're letting a precious Special Spirit Vision Officer act alone without assigning a dedicated escort? Has the Onmyo Agency really been pushed to this extent?"

The one venting his frustration was none other than Miyoshi Tougo, a Special Spirit Vision Officer of the Onmyo Agency.

As he drove, Miyoshi Tougo subtly scanned the surroundings, his sharp eyes darting across the area.

It was clear that he was using his Spirit Sight to search for jujutsu criminals.

And he wasn't the only one—despite the lively conversation between the two women in the backseat, they too occasionally glanced around, evidently "seeing" something.

Thus, the three of them traveled together in the car, appearing as if they were merely out for a leisurely drive—harmonious and carefree.

Unfortunately, that harmony was shattered in the next second.

"This is…"

Miyoshi Tougo's expression stiffened, and he instinctively slammed the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop.

"Ahh!"

The two women in the back screamed, clearly startled.

"What are you doing, Miyoshi-san?"

The one who spoke was a woman whose age was difficult to determine. Though she seemed to be in her late twenties, her outfit—a cute white blouse and skirt adorned with ruffles—along with the floral accessory in her curly hair, made her appear much younger.

"You almost scared me to death, Miyoshi-san."

The other woman also voiced her complaint. She looked identical to the first, and even her voice was exactly the same. However, unlike her sister, she wore a black version of the same outfit.

A white-clad sister and a black-clad sister—they were clearly twins.

Moreover, they were not just any twins.

These two were the other two Special Spirit Vision Officers within the Onmyo Agency. Both were National First-Class Onmyouji and part of the Twelve Divine General, considered invaluable treasures of the jujutsu world, possessing Spirit Sight second only to Miyoshi Tougo.

The elder sister was named Kadei Byakuran, while the younger sister was Kadei Kurogiku—the very Kadei sisters mentioned in the previous meeting.

Normally, these two remained stationed at the Exorcism Bureau headquarters, rarely venturing outside. However, with the Onmyo Agency fully mobilized, they had been granted permission to patrol the streets, assisting the Magic Crimes Investigation Department and Exorcists.

That said, unlike Miyoshi Tougo, who bore a heavy sense of duty, the sisters behaved more like mischievous children.

"Miyoshi-san is always like this—constantly scaring us," Kurogiku complained.

"Exactly! I almost hit my head just now," Byakuran chimed in.

"I almost hit my hand."

"And what if my hair ornament fell off?"

"If it fell off, as long as it's not broken, it's fine."

"Hehe, even if it breaks, it's okay—I recently bought a new one."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That's not fair! I want one too."

"Alright, I'll buy you one next time."

"That's more like it."

Just like that, the sisters went from complaining to chatting about completely unrelated things.

This was simply their nature.

The Kadei sisters were truly sheltered young ladies who had been raised in seclusion, completely unaware of the ways of the world.

And that was because their family lineage was anything but ordinary.

In the world of Onmyodo, the Tsuchimikado clan was undoubtedly the most prestigious. However, before the Tsuchimikado name emerged, they were originally the Abe clan, renowned for Abe no Seimei.

A thousand years ago, there was only one clan that could rival the Abe clan.

That was the Kamo clan, which had produced legendary onmyouji such as Kamo no Tadayuki and Kamo no Yasunori, both of whom were teachers to Abe no Seimei.

After the Abe clan rebranded as the Tsuchimikado clan, the Kamo clan also changed its name to Kadenokouji and, like the Tsuchimikado, became a distinguished lineage devoted to the prosperity of Onmyodou.

However, while the Kadenokouji clan once held high-ranking positions within the imperial court, it declined during the late Muromachi period and eventually perished during the Sengoku era. In the Edo period, a branch family rose to inherit the legacy of the fallen Kadenokouji, becoming the new head of the Kamo clan.

This branch family was known as the Kadei clan.

Unlike the Tsuchimikado clan, which experienced cycles of prosperity and decline, and the Kurahashi clan, which laid the foundation for the modern Onmyo Agency and now leads the jujutsu world, the Kadei clan refrained from getting involved in worldly conflicts. Instead, they focused solely on preserving and refining Onmyodo, producing generations of exceptional onmyouji.

As a result, in modern times, the Kadei clan became a highly esteemed household, widely recognized as a traditional aristocratic family within the jujutsu community.

And the twin sisters, Kadei Byakuran and Kadei Kurogiku, were the young heirs of this noble lineage.

Given their prestigious upbringing, their lack of worldly experience was somewhat expected. However, their situation was actually even more unique.

In general, only onmyouji with exceptional Spirit Sight could become Spirit Vision Officers. While training could enhance one's Spirit Sight to some degree, innate talent played a crucial role.

Particularly for Special Spirit Vision Officers, their abilities were truly one in a million—exceptional talent and extraordinary innate potential often manifested from a young age.

As a noble family dedicated to Onmyodo, the Kadei clan fully understood the value of such talent.

Thus, when the Kadei sisters were born as a pair of twin prodigies with extraordinary Spirit Sight, the Kadei clan immediately recognized them as divine gifts. From an early age, they underwent rigorous elite training, completely isolated from the outside world.

As a result, they became the pride of their family, nurtured with great care, and ultimately flourished into National First-Class Onmyouji who brought honor to their lineage. However, at the same time, they remained naïve to the point of disbelief—sheltered, spoiled, yet still achieving greatness.

Miyoshi Tougo understood the sisters' personalities well, so he didn't let himself get drawn into their conversation. Instead, he fixed his gaze in one direction.

After a brief pause...

"Byakuran, Kurogiku, take a good look over there. See if you can spot anything," Miyoshi Tougo suddenly instructed.

The Kadei sisters were momentarily startled.

Then, without asking further questions, they nodded briskly.

"Since it's a request from Miyoshi-san… Kurogiku, let's do this together."

"Understood, Sister."

With that, the sisters raised their hands and interlocked their fingers.

"Hummm!"

In the next moment, their spiritual energy began to resonate and amplify.

This was a unique technique that only these twin sisters could perform—by working in unison, they could enhance each other's power.

Under normal circumstances, Miyoshi Tougo's Spirit Sight was the strongest in the Onmyo Agency—perhaps even the strongest in the world.

However, when these two sisters combined their abilities, their Spirit Sight surpassed even Miyoshi Tougo.

Thus, by amplifying their abilities, they successfully "saw" what Miyoshi Tougo had been trying to detect.

"Wow!"

"What an astonishing concentration of spiritual energy!"

The sisters gasped in unison.

"As expected..."

Miyoshi Tougo's expression darkened.
