Chapter 7: 7 Soul Society

Rokuko Chinami had her 5th birthday today. For the princess of the Rokuko Group, this meant a big birthday party, to which the most important people in and outside the country gathered. Everyone wanted to attend the party of the only child of the owner of the largest conglomerate in Japan, which brings together dozens of companies. The event included no shortage of large and expensive gifts, and some guests were accompanied by Hollywood movie stars. The prime minister himself sent his warmest wishes.

There were rumors that because of the intelligence she showed at such a young age, there were already plans to make her an heiress. Which even now was not something common in heavily conservative Japan. Everyone expected that today the rumors would either be debunked or, horror of horrors, confirmed.

However, the birthday girl herself was currently lying unconscious in bed. The maid who tried to wake her up this morning nearly had a heart attack when her young miss was unresponsive. A chain reaction of notifications then occurred. It didn't take five minutes before the first of the doctors arrived.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with her. And every known vital parameter was checked several times. Everything indicated that Rokuko Chinami was simply sleeping. Even someone got the idea that the miss was specially unresponsive by refusing to show up at the party. But he was quickly expelled for spreading unfavorable rumors.

The party itself had to go on, even for a person as important and prominent as Chinami's father it was simply unthinkable to send all the guests away. Therefore, he spent the next few hours in extreme agony, while trying to pretend that everything was fine and entertain the guests. Until late in the evening, when the girl finally woke up.

...

But let's go back to this morning to find out what really happened.

...

Chinami had long been used to getting up early, so she also woke up today before the maid even thought it was time to get up.

She got off her bed and almost tripped over the black robe she was wearing.

"This is definitely not my pajamas." She whispered to herself.

I thought I would be able to experience this new life in peace. However, I guess I was wrong. But I clearly didn't die, so how come my soul left my body. I detect no remnants of any ritual, although I'm not absolutely sure. How many years have passed since I had so little Reiatsu?

In any case, it seems to me that I can return to my body again. Surely someone else can take care of the Soul Society here.

"Rather wait!" Suddenly she heard a voice coming from nowhere. "Did not power waste so much to get back immediately to body! I beg, listen mind make up before."

"Who are you?"

"I no name have, Shard call may. By grace, request listen will?"

"Compress, I'll miss the party and stop talking so funny!"

"Begging bad diction forgive, waters of life passed much have since conversation had."

That's not quite what I meant. Misaki thought, but no matter....

Then a minute passed, and the voice said no more.

"Are you there? Hello!"

"Begging forgive. The duty to perform remains. Towards core going. For, miss, years past two thousand, god world's, terrible thing did and inhabitants be murdered let.

"And him stop have?" Holy crap this talk has started to get to me too.

"Hey come back here!" Misaki exclaimed, after several minutes of silence. Meanwhile, she watched as more and more people began to gather around her body. This included her new mother, who couldn't hold back tears. "Please wait mommy, I'll be back to you soon." She whispered.

"Again, forgive deign. Souls more heading are. Question answer contradictory is. Stop though there need is, task another entrust. Soul, mighty once, when river of life no end weakened. This how is rescue became world this, by Heavens restore."

"Shall I become the soul king of this world?"

"What if I don't agree? I planned this life differently."

"Deny right have. Time, however, not much left is and to again try lacking power is. Last remains hope are you."

An unknown amount of time passed before Misaki answered. "Will I be able to continue meeting my parents?"

"Time divide will, haste ally remain."

"What should I do?"

"If choice make, the power transferred will and beginning true come will."

"On the end of the day, I don't think I have any other way. The Soul Society wasn't that bad, although I have some ideas for changes..."

...

This is how the flows of the river of life in this world have begun to return to balance for the first time in two thousand years. However, the young Soul Society will face many challenges to heal old wounds. Only Misaki will remember the existence of the Shard of the Old God.

But now she is busy comforting her mother that nothing is wrong with her.
