"Hello, hello, hello~"
"Onmyo Academy is a school under the World Government's Yin-Yang Bureau that trains spiritual practitioners~"
Under everyone's gaze, Perona felt like she had become the protagonist. Delighted, she began chattering away.
"Our bureau is amazing!"
"Principal Mingzai said that the Yin-Yang Bureau has two main responsibilities."
"First, it maintains contact between the World Government and Yellow Springs City and Enma Court on the Underworld side."
"Second, it is responsible for eliminating demons, ghosts, and all sorts of supernatural creatures that cause trouble in the living world."
"Besides that, it manages cemeteries, maintains shrines, supervises spiritual practitioners, and presides over spirit-summoning rituals."
Then her soul suddenly left her body and drifted around in the air, but her mouth never paused for even a moment.
Yin-Yang Bureau. Yellow Springs City. Enma Court.
Aizen quietly repeated these terms in his heart.
They were entirely different from the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo systems he knew.
Yet they were likewise official institutions concerned with the boundary between life and death and the management of souls.
The key difference was that, unlike the relatively independent living world, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo, the World Government ruled both the world of the living and the Underworld.
That only deepened his interest.
It meant that, in the world they came from, the living realm was far stronger than the Underworld.
At the same time,
Aizen kept an interested expression on his face and encouraged Perona to continue.
"It sounds like the Yin-Yang Bureau is an important institution for maintaining the balance of the world."
"Such an important responsibility must surely be supported by formidable strength."
His prompting seemed like nothing more than admiration and curiosity following along with the little girl's words.
Even Natsuki Subaru was drawn in, nodding repeatedly.
"Hello, hello, hello, hello~"
