Lines of text appeared in front of Seiji.
Basic 'Spiritual Power' stat? 'Spiritual Power 'option!?'
Seiji instantly regained his senses after his system forcefully reminded him of his existence.
Even though he was curious, now wasn't the time to check it out.
Seiji slowly smiled back at Shika Kagura who was smiling so beautifully.
"Calling me that … it's a little embarrassing."
He gently hugged the girl and slowly tightened his embrace.
Just like before.
"But … I'm so happy … I … don't know how to express it."
He felt moved in his heart as he experienced the warmth of the girl.
"You … remember everything?"
Shika Kagura shook her head slightly.
"There are still some parts that are blurry, but they're all …"
Seiji sniffled.
"That's wonderful."
She remembered and treasured the memories that he valued so much. This … was wonderful.
For a time, the two of them hugged each other in silence.
Seiji only slowly let go after he gradually calmed down from how moved he was.
Shika Kagura also let go.
"How did you remember all of this?" Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
He thought that she would always forget, and even if she did, it would be a faint impression, which was why … Ahh, it was so embarrassing to think about it!
"Wanhua Summer Night said that you were the one who took care of me when I lost my memory … I had a strange feeling when I saw these things … that maid gave me a hint …"
Shika Kagura looked directly at her face as she slowly and clearly explained.
Seiji felt his face heating up as she looked at him with such an emotional gaze.
Could it be that he was currently in the middle of a shameful act?
He couldn't stop himself … Eh? Is that how the word is used?
Forget it, I don't care anymore. Just let me die of shame!
"I thought that you would forever forget, and I didn't want to burden you with any unnecessary thoughts, so I didn't want to tell you … But Chiaki … she's the silver-haired girl in this painting … Er, she's wearing men's clothing, so Shika-chan … you probably misunderstood while you were suffering from amnesia … At any rate, she pointed out my mistake, so I wanted to tell you again, so I …"
Isn't this a little confusing? What the hell am I saying?
Seiji's gaze wandered, and he forced himself to explain the situation before looking at the other party again.
She saw that Shika Kagura was still staring at her passionately.
"Ah …"
He was speechless.
"Big brother Seiji ~"
Seiji felt as if his heart had been pierced through!
The black-haired beauty had a beautiful smile like Shika Kagura's, but she was using a cute Little Shi's tone to say such a thing. It was extremely destructive!
It was like a super combination skill hidden in a fighting game.
"Can I call you that from now on?"
"Uh … Sure."
He needed to increase his mental resistance as soon as possible! Only then would he be able to build a defense line and protect his sanity, Chief Petty Officer Haruta!
Seiji was a little worried about whether he would … But he couldn't refuse such a request, so he definitely couldn't refuse!
Chief Petty Officer Haruta accepted this mission with the resolution to die in battle!
"Big brother Seiji …" Shika Kagura smiled.
However, a hint of sadness gradually appeared in her smile.
"I'm very grateful for everything you've done.
But, I'm still the 'Reaper's Curse.'
If you get too close to me, you'll … So … "
"No so!"
Seiji realized what she wanted to say, so he decisively stopped her.
"I'm already so close to you, and I'm still fine, right? Even if something happens to me in the future, I'll definitely overcome it!
So, don't say that, don't push me away, and don't try to distance yourself from me!
Shika Kagura … Little Shi, I'm sticking to you! Just accept your fate! "
'I'll never let you die alone again.
'I'll accompany you into the future.'
Seiji looked at her face and into her eyes, and he was able to convey such a strong feeling in his heart.
Shika Kagura was smiling, but he also seemed like he was about to cry, and his expression was rather complex.
"But …"
"Trust me!
I'm … "
"You're the 'Reaper's Curse,' I know! But you haven't seen clearly who I am! "
Haruta Seiji gave himself a thumbs-up.
His aura suddenly increased.
"I'm Haruta Seiji! The Haruta Family is a member of the Kamijou Family! The only one who can completely suppress the 'Reaper's Curse' is the descendant of the strongest Yin-Yang Master in history, Seimei Kamijou!
I have the strongest bloodline! I'm very strong! And I'll become even stronger!! Even … surpass my ancestors!!!
The 'Reaper's Curse' can't do anything to me! Nothing can harm me!! "
'I already have the ability to save and load files.
And my system has become even stronger. Just now, it was all because of you.
'I'll use this power that I gained because of you to solve everything!
'That's why …
'So, don't think like that! Don't say stupid things, and don't do stupid things.
All you need to do is be good and be my friend … be my little sister, and that's all! "
Seiji revealed a confident and forceful smile that was so bright that it could be called a warm one.
This smile was like the sun in Shika Kagura's eyes; it was extremely dazzling.
The dark ice and snow in her heart could only melt under this sunlight.
Tears flowed out of her eyes once again.
"I … Can I really … do it?"
'Can I really have such happiness?
It's not just a temporary dream, but from now on, it'll always be … '
"Of course," Seiji said with absolute certainty.
He reached out his hand and caressed her head, just like before.
He patted her head and comforted her.
"You can do it … I can do it … We can walk down this path together.
"Little Shi … from now on, I'll call you this. No objections, no refusals."
His forceful and domineering words seemed to pierce through Shika Kagura's heart.
Tears flowed out of her eyes as she smiled. The shadow in her smile gradually disappeared.
'Just believe in him.'
A voice in her heart told her.
Although objectively speaking, Seiji's words were actually a bluff, but … Inconceivably, she couldn't hear a single trace of falsehood in his words.
His aura had actually reached such a powerful level.
To be able to display such a powerful aura, even a deity would have to show some respect to him.
Perhaps, he really could turn his "bluff" into a reality …
Shika Kagura wanted to believe in him.
Shika Kagura was willing to believe in him.
Thus, she placed the hope of happiness that Seiji had awakened on him.
"Brother Seiji … from now on, please take good care of me."
"Yeah, Little Shi … me too, please take good care of me."
Just like that, the smiling boy and girl made a promise to accompany each other.
