Seiji fell silent for a few moments.
"She definitely can't continue like this; we need to help her recover her memories.
There's nothing we can do about it if we take some risks … but do your best not to hurt her.
Summer Night nodded in understanding.
"I'll do my best."
Another period of silence fell between them.
Afterwards, Summer Night Seiji Mukai made an unexpected yet reasonable suggestion.
…
The next morning.
Mika received a phone call from Seiji and felt that something was off.
"Hey, Seiji, what's the matter?"
"Eh … O-staying outside!?"
The pigtailed girl was stunned.
That was because he actually said that he had stayed at a friend's house last night due to some matters, and that he would be staying there for a while longer! He wouldn't be able to go to school or go home with her for the time being.
What was going on? What happened!?
"Well … just think of it as me … working on a project with a friend … Yep."
In the dining room, Seiji was sitting on a soft chair as he watched the maid lay out breakfast on the dining table.
That's right, a maid — the real deal!
She was wearing a black one-piece dress with a white frilly apron, a black headscarf, and a white bow tie around her collar.
Her dark gray hair fell to her back, and her face was fair and beautiful. She had a faint smile on her face, and her dark brown eyes were filled with gentleness.
She was perfect … full marks for a maid!
When Seiji woke up this morning and saw this beautiful girl in maid attire, he was stunned for several seconds.
As an otaku, he naturally had all sorts of fantasies about the legendary maid, but the moment he saw her, all his fantasies were wiped clean, and all that was left was the thought of 'this is what a real maid should look like!'
From top to bottom, her attire, aura, and demeanor were all flawless.
Seiji took quite a while to calm down.
Afterwards, he chatted with her for a while.
He learned that her name was Mai Houjou.
She was currently a third-year student at Yuen Hwa Secondary … which meant that she was his Senpai!
"As for the truth … I'll tell you when it's time. For now … there's no need to worry about me.
I'll go back to live here after everything's over.
"See you at school. I'm hanging up."
By the time Seiji ended his call, the maid … or Houjou-senpai had just finished setting up the breakfast table.
"Please enjoy your meal, Grand Mistress, Shuho-sama, Kirin-sama, and Harano -san."
The dark gray-haired beauty took a step back and bowed slightly to everyone at the table.
Summer Night and Hitaka nodded slightly at her.
Meanwhile, the cat girl Rana, who was wearing a middle school uniform, had a sleepy look on her face. She seemed to have unconsciously grabbed a piece of dried salted fish and stuffed it into her mouth.
Houjou-senpai pushed the dining cart away, and Seiji watched her leave.
"Do you think it's strange to hire a superior student as a maid?" Summer Night's voice sounded.
"A little …" Seiji turned around.
"The Hojo family has a deep relationship with my family, and they've always been working for my family." Summer Night also picked up a dried salted fish and placed it in her own bowl.
"Houjou-san's father was my father's right-hand man, so we've known each other since we were young.
To me, she's a kind and gentle older sister, not a servant, but she insisted on this relationship.
She didn't have any obligation to be my maid, but when Hitaka, Rona, and I moved here and needed to hire someone to do the housework, she … volunteered to do it, and even resigned from her position as the student council president. "
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Wait a moment … the student council president?" His eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, Houjou-san was the student council president before me, which means she was my predecessor." Summer Night popped the dried salted fish into her mouth.
The current student council president's maid was the former student council president!?
Seiji's mind was in a mess.
Was this the real-life version of the student council president's maid, or Rima the Whirlwind Butler!?
It seemed like it … but it didn't feel right.
'Forget it, I won't bother with it.'
By the way, this should be big news at Yuen Hwa Secondary, shouldn't it? If it was made public, it would shock many people.
But after the shock, it didn't seem too difficult to accept?
After all, everyone knew that Wanhua Summer Night was a Grand Mistress, so it seemed reasonable for her to hire a student council president as a maid?
However, some people might suspect that there was some shady dealings behind the student council president's handover. Hmm …
Seiji let his imagination run wild as he enjoyed his scrumptious breakfast.
After breakfast.
"Hitaka and I are going back to the Wanhua family's home to investigate a method to help Shika Kagura recover his memories.
Rona will still be guarding the school.
Haruta-kun, all you need to do is take good care of Shika Kagura. I'll help you explain things to the school, and you can choose not to attend classes. "
Seiji nodded after hearing Summer Night's words.
He still had to go to the school. After all, he told Mika to meet him at the school. Although he couldn't tell her the details about Chiaki and her, he still had to talk to her face to face.
But before that, he decided to visit the girl first.
After Summer Night and the others left, Seiji went to Shika Kagura's room.
She was still asleep.
Seiji conveniently picked up a chair and sat by the bed, quietly observing her peaceful sleeping face.
Restoring her memories was the first problem he and Summer Night had to face.
But that wasn't the only problem with her body.
If they could successfully find a method to restore her memories without harming her, and successfully execute it, what would happen after that?
Would they get information from her … and then put her under house arrest before the duel ended?
Would they be able to get any information from her? Seiji was a bastard who didn't even care about her life. Wouldn't he have hidden something on her in order to prevent such a situation?
Besides, putting her under house arrest … that wasn't too bad. As long as Summer Night obtained the information, she wouldn't do anything to her.
But, he couldn't forget that Shika Kagura was the "Reaper's Curse."
Putting her under house arrest … or rather, before this, Hitaka had fought with her, Seiji had come into contact with her, and Summer Night had saved her and sealed her power …
All three of them had used different methods to "approach" her, and they still wanted to continue doing things to her. Just what would they suffer because of this?
Summer Night didn't mention this at all.
Seiji didn't mention it either.
Was it because it would be useless even if he mentioned it? They had already taken action, and they still wanted to continue?
Or was it because of … a hidden fear?
Seiji clasped his hands together.
He didn't know if Grand Mistress Natsuya was hiding a deep fear in her heart. As for himself … he was worried, but he definitely wasn't afraid.
That was because he had the strongest trump card.
'As long as I don't get struck to death by lightning, I'll be able to load, and as long as I can load, I'll be able to deal with it.'
Seiji said in his heart as he let go of her and slowly reached out to gently smooth her hair.
The "Reaper's Curse" … so what?
Even if he was sucked into the so-called whirlpool of karma a hundred times, he would be able to escape a hundred and one times.
That was why he had nothing to fear.
The morning sunlight spilled into the room after the rain.
The handsome boy's body was glowing faintly.
His large hand gently caressed the beautiful girl's face in the shadows.
