Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 3.5 (Episode 3 End)

When the explosion dissipated, the Seitengers heaved a sigh and looked around. This was the third monster they've destroyed by far and yet the damage that Diwall caused was too much for them to see. Indeed, it was the kind of damage that reminded them of the hotel fire ten years ago.

"Onii-chan, are you okay?" SeitenLight asked as she placed her hand on her brother's shoulder.

SeitenEarth just nodded and placed his hand on his sister's head. But the Seitengers became tense when they felt something foreboding that was about to come.

"Get ready. Here it comes again," SeitenWater warned the others and prepared himself for the trouble that was about to appear before them.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 3.4

What the others didn't know was that Hideoki remained watching the interaction the whole time, even before the Vessels went down. His mind was still stuck in between the letters he received a week ago and the conversation he had with Helen the day before. There were a lot of things that still didn't make sense to him.

Especially about Helen's so-called mission that she mentioned to him when they had their conversation yesterday.

Why was he feeling something foreboding from all this? But he was sure it had nothing to do with Helen's arrival. He was glad that he was able to finally meet Tennouji Atsuko's daughter. Even though that woman died earlier than expected, he was sure that Atsuko's legacy would live on through her daughter who sure grew up as beautiful as her.

"Hideoki..."

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 3.3

Misae heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she was done healing Itsuki. Thankfully, he didn't receive too much injury. Eichirou was probably right about one thing with regards to Itsuki and his powers connected to the earth. It would suck out a lot of Hasureiki. And to think they were just starting to get used to having that kind of mystical energy within them.

She wasn't joking when she said to the others a while back that for some reason, even though she was exhausted and was weakened because of the Triske Monster throwing her, the wind surrounding the area of the Mizuhashi mansion was helping her with her healing ability. And she would ask her mentors about that matter.

After standing up, Misae gave a meaningful look toward the sleeping Itsuki. She smiled when she remembered how he fought earlier and how he managed to deal with the Triske Monster alone. But from what she could see, that driving force must have been taken from something quite tremendous for him. She also noticed that since that morning, he was slightly distracted. Was there something bothering him?

Perhaps Misae would be able to figure it out sooner. Right now, she had to check on the others' condition, as well. But as soon as she went out of Itsuki's room, she noticed someone standing by the veranda and looking at the sky. It didn't take her long before she was able to discern it was Hideoki.

I guess this is going to be a habit from now on while I haven't been able to provide any writing-related updates at the moment. Just done reading 18 books/novellas since my last update. I mean, at least I'm keeping up with my goal of reading daily. Then again, I have lots of books that I should finally read after a long while of being stuck in a shelf. So doing this just to refresh my creative well at some point would probably do good for my brain. Right? 😁✌️

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 3.2

The breakfast was going well for the Vessels that time but for some weird reason, only Nanami ate along with them. Amuro went on ahead before the breakfast could even start since he said he had to go to the racing stadium to help out his uncle who managed it.

"Nanami-san, where's Hideoki-san?" Itsuki managed to ask when everyone seemed to be hesitating to do so.

A sigh came out of the woman's mouth before facing the composer. "He has to go to the restaurant for a while to fix some things."

"But what could that be? I've never heard anything about any possible trouble the restaurant was facing yesterday," Eichirou said and the girls nodded in agreement.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 3.1

RECORD #3: THE TRAVELING NOVELIST

Somewhere in Yokohama...

It was nighttime. A teenage girl was standing in the middle of a small library in that mansion. She was looking at the bookshelves with a melancholic look on her face. The same melancholic feeling that the full moon was giving off on that particular night.

"Professor, I'll be leaving tomorrow. I guess it's about time, huh? I'll put my travels on hold for now. Just until I finally finish my mission," the girl said to no one in particular. But she made it seem as if the old man she was referring to was just in front of her.

A heavy sigh came out of her mouth soon after, as she looked at the cylindrical item in her hand. That item looked similar to the Seitengers' Hyakureider, only smaller and with only two slots and three buttons. One more feature unique to this cylinder was the figure of six wings near one end of it, three wings placed on each side. The girl gripped the cylinder hard as she began thinking of things that she knew were about to come now that she decided to do this.

She had to leave the mansion she could ever call home for a long time.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 2.6 (Episode 2 End)

The Grand Vessel Spirits which the Seitengers boarded had charged towards Cyone who threw several energy-charged scales at them. In SeitenFire's control, Firion ran faster as they did their best to evade the attacks while charging forward. Firion bit the arm that Cyone used to throw the scales. Terraiger, under SeitenEarth's control, took it as an opportunity to pounce on the Unsealed. The tiger struck its head to the monster's body, throwing Cyone to the ground in the process.

With that done, Skylon and Dovight made a skydive straight toward the fallen monster. But much to their surprise, giant spears, and swords from several enlarged Gargonemas struck them and threw the falcon and the dove instead. It was a good thing Sereo's wings caught the two girls' mecha before they could be thrown farther.

"What in the world...?"

"I only heard about the Unsealed, but not giant Gargonemas," SeitenWater commented as he looked around, only to be irritated at the sight of giant Gargonemas guarding the Unsealed Cyone as it regrouped.

These amount of books (most of them were novellas, by the way) were the ones that I was able to read since that last update I have on my personal account. The contrast of the genres I've been reading is insane, if you ask me. But I would still consider that a good thing, to be honest. Now I guess I have to read more romance and fantasy since I write stories with those genres as my main focus.

It might take me a while to give any writing-related update here since I was still trying to be consistent with whatever writing routine that I have to come up with just so I can write daily. But I did come up with two more story ideas during my daily reading journey that my journal is keeping in the meantime.

Now I'm thinking that I might write most of the stories I plan to write as novellas, worth 10-15 chapters or just about 25,000 to 30,000 words in total. It's a lot, I know. But I think I can do it.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 2.5

The two boys turned around in the direction where the voice came from. They smiled at the sight of Shuichi, Misae, and Erika approaching them.

"Seriously, Eichirou... Will you please stop acting weird every time?"

The said man frowned and cocked his head to one side at Shuichi's words. "What do you mean?"

Misae smiled and slightly shook her head. "I think he means don't decide to disappear without even informing us. If you have a problem that truly bothers you, you can tell us. We've been doing that for ten years now. It won't make any difference if you still do that now that we're chosen to become Seitengers."

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 2.4

Well, the man Itsuki was looking for happened to be wandering quite aimlessly along the seaside---which, of course, had been Eichirou's most beloved place since his mother's death. He needed to stay there, to think of things that he needed to do. He had to come up with a decision before a Triske Monster decided to ruin his day once more.

But seriously, he couldn't get his mind quite straight at this point. Not when he was worried about a certain woman's safety more than anything else.

'Mom, please tell me how you would want me to do things like protecting Kanako.' It was a request that made Eichirou quite distressed. His worry for Kanako was something he knew wouldn't easily be washed away by the sound of the seawater. Nor could it be blown by the sea breeze.

But in a way, he trusted the sea to at least help him. That way, he would know that his mother was listening to him, at the very least.
