Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Disbelief... yet also belief.

Lisa didn’t know what her state of mind should be right now.

”Lord God... why would you... answer my call and become my Shikigami....”

Lisa found it hard to believe.

Lucas Reeve pointed to the Omamori on her chest.

”My soul fragment was inside this.”

”It was just in a dormant state. The power you input forcibly awakened my soul fragment, so I appeared. Since you awakened me ahead of schedule, you’ve helped me out, so I decided to go along with it and become your Shikigami. Otherwise, you don’t really think this Shikigami contract could actually work on me, do you?”

”Oh~”

Lisa was in a bit of a daze.

Lucas Reeve didn’t seem to be lying, and there was no need for him to lie. She was just an ordinary little girl; there was no benefit in lying to her.

”Is what you said true, Lord God?”

”True. More real than an XX-brand pearl.”

Lisa: ”?”

”You can make a wish. As a god, and since fate brought us together, I can grant you any wish for free, Miss Lisa.”

Lisa was extremely nervous. Her soft little hands were clasped together, nervously fiddling with her fingers.

”Can... can I wish for anything?”

Lisa took him seriously.

After all, she was just a little girl, and she easily believed Lucas Reeve’s words without a shred of doubt.

”Really.”

Seeing Lucas Reeve’s affirmative reply, Lisa took a deep breath, a glimmer of determination flashing in her eyes: ”Lord God!! I want to become strong!! I want to become strong enough to protect my mom!!”

In fact, Lisa was full of regret today, especially when she saw on the screen that her mother had to face so many enemies alone because of her. Lisa regretted being so weak. If only she could be as strong as her father!! She could definitely protect her mother! But her father, due to his duties as a priest, had to stay at the shrine and could not leave without permission.

She didn’t blame her mother for hiding the fact that she was an assassin.

On the contrary, Lisa was very sensible, more sensible than any of her peers.

She knew her mother hid it for her own good, to let her have a normal life. She also hated herself for being powerless and unable to share her mother’s burdens.

Once, Lisa’s dream was simply for her family of three to live happily together.

But now, after what had just happened, Lisa’s dream had changed.

She!!

Wanted to protect her mother!! Protect her family!!

And she knew very well why her mother didn’t dare to go to the hospital, and that the ones who kidnapped her were definitely traitors from her mother’s side. In other words, not only did the enemy want her mother dead, but her own people might want her mother dead too!

Looking at Lisa’s determined eyes, Lucas Reeve knew that she wasn’t joking; it came from the bottom of her heart.

”Good!! That’s an excellent wish, little girl~”

Lucas Reeve was very pleased.

This wish finally touched upon what Lucas Reeve was best at. Getting stronger?!

He had ten thousand ways to make Lisa stronger.

”But... those mafia members are very powerful. I’m afraid I....”

Lisa quickly became disheartened again. Even if she had a great desire, her own body was still too weak.

Lucas Reeve was taken aback.

”Powerful?”

”How many divisions does he have?”

Powerful?

Lucas Reeve didn’t sense it.

After all, those few hundred mafia members and a group of carefully trained assassins weren’t even enough to scratch the paint on his Titan.

Lisa: ”Divisions?”

”Um, Mr. Reeve, do you have a way to make me strong? Lisa isn’t afraid of hard work! And I’m not afraid of pain! As long as I can protect my mom, I don’t want to see her get hurt anymore!!”

Lucas Reeve nodded confidently.

”I do!”

With that, Lucas Reeve directly asked Lisa for a pen and paper. Materializing his hands, he began to write and draw under Lisa’s astonished gaze.

A spirit...

Can touch!!! Things in the material world!!!

This completely overturned Lisa’s understanding of the world.

Mr. Reeve really is a god!!

Lucas Reeve wrote and drew for a while, designing several power-up plans for Lisa.

He wasn’t the same as before. In the past, he had no choice but to act as a substitute to make Jessica stronger. But things were different now. Lucas Reeve was a master forger and a master mechanic. Why get his hands dirty when he could solve things with machinery?

”Miss Lisa, I’ve designed a suit of power armor for you. It has two Vulcan cannons on the shoulders, firing 1000 rounds per second. If you want, you can turn any mafia member into Swiss cheese in half an hour.”

Lisa: ”???”
