"Shuho-san, have you ever done something like this before … giving a boy a drink that you've already drunk from?"
Seiji looked directly at Hitaka as he asked this question clearly.
Hitaka blinked.
Then, she tilted her head slightly and revealed an expression of contemplation in her eyes. Several seconds later, she averted her gaze, and several seconds later, she looked back at him.
"No."
It was obvious that she had to think about it before answering.
Seiji guessed correctly.
Seiji smiled wryly.
"Then do you know what the hidden meaning behind this action is?"
Hitaka blinked again with a confused expression.
"Alright, there's no need to answer. I already know that you don't know." Seiji had the urge to cover his face.
How should he explain it?
He thought about it.
"Shuho-san, if a girl gives a boy a drink that she's drunk from … or some other drink or food that she's eaten before, it's an incredibly intimate action, and vice versa."
Hitaka's expression remained expressionless.
"This type of action usually only appears between a boy and a girl that's confirmed or nearly confirmed in their relationship … simply put, only a couple would do it.
Apart from this, there are also other situations, such as childhood friends who have a very good relationship, siblings, and so on. At any rate, only a boy and a girl who have a very good relationship and are very close to each other would do this.
That's why, Shuho-san, it's inappropriate for you to do this to me. We're not a couple, nor are we in a very good relationship. What you're doing … is actually equivalent to giving me an ambiguous hint, hinting that you have feelings for me, or that you want to develop a deeper relationship with me … something like that. "
I know that Shuho-san isn't a frivolous girl, so I asked. I knew that you didn't know the hidden meaning, so I'm explaining it to you now. Do you … understand? "
Seiji looked directly at Hitaka's face.
And then, he saw it.
Hitaka's face slowly reddened, as if an invisible brush was painting her cheeks red. Gradually, her entire face became bright red!
The red-haired, red-eyed girl's face reddened.
Yep, this scene had an inexplicable sense of beauty to it.
Seiji watched silently.
Hitaka's face became even redder, and her eyes began to lose focus. Her hand that was holding out the drink trembled slightly.
It looks like it's going to smoke?
If it was depicted in a comic, white smoke would be coming out of this guy's head.
She was actually embarrassed to this extent … She was truly very pure.
She was clearly wearing a hot girl outfit.
By the way, does she know the significance of wearing these clothes? Most likely … he didn't know either.
This contrast was quite cute!
Speaking of which, her current expression was cute enough.
Compared to her usual cold and indifferent expression, her face was so red that it looked quite cute, right!?
Seiji admired it silently.
Although he couldn't take out his phone at this time, he had the G System to save the cinematics.
System: Leave it to me!
Seiji imagined the image of the system fairy giving him a thumbs up.
Good partner!
"Chun … Haruta-kun …"
Finally, Hitaka was able to speak.
She blushed and lowered her head.
"I … I'm sorry!"
After saying this, she turned around and strode away.
Bam! Bam! Two heavy muffled sounds rang out in succession.
The red-haired girl's figure vanished.
That's right, she vanished!
Seiji was rather stunned to see the footprint-shaped hole in the floor.
What kind of footwork was that? [Ground Shrink]? Or [Instant Dodge]!?
That was quite a cool way to escape.
Would it be okay to use such power in the dining room?
It shouldn't be okay, since the floor was broken … who was going to fix it?
"Meow ~" Rona moved and rubbed her cheek against his thigh.
'Ah, I touched it.'
Because the cat girl turned her head slightly, Seiji was able to touch her large cat ears and instantly felt a wonderful soft and furry sensation.
Touch ears ~ Touch ears ~ ~
Yep … he was satisfied! His gentlemanly heart was sublimated.
Just like that, he happily accompanied Rona for a short period of time.
Lunch.
Seiji took his lunch tray and went to Shika Kagura's room to eat together with the latter.
Although he had the option of calling Shika Kagura to the dining room, and Summer Night and the others probably wouldn't refuse, he didn't want to give them any more pressure at this time.
Seiji ate together with Little Shi and told her that his Mana cultivation was progressing well, and that he was going to try to become a temporary Spirit-branded Retainer.
"Brother Seiji … you're amazing. But to become a temporary Spirit-branded Retainer and enter the battlefield … this sort of thing … "
Shika Kagura was happy for Seiji's rapid improvement, but he was worried about Seiji's desire to enter the battlefield.
"President Wanhua has confirmed that we have a great advantage here, and the situation is relatively safe." Seiji smiled. "She doesn't expect me to do anything; she just wants me to be a spectator and gain some knowledge.
I think this is a good opportunity … I'll have to take this step sooner or later, but I might not have such a good opportunity next time.
That's why I want to go. And if the situation becomes bad, I'll just run away. "
Shika Kagura looked directly at Seiji's face.
'Will I be seen through? 'My real goal …' Seiji was rather apprehensive.
Everything he said was true, but the most important thing was that he might have a chance to teach that bastard Okubo Yoshiaki a harsh lesson!
Shika Kagura definitely wouldn't accept this reason for participating in the battle.
She wouldn't want her adopted brother to participate in a dangerous duel for the sake of taking revenge for her. That was why if she knew the real reason, she would definitely stop him.
That was why Seiji didn't say anything.
Shika Kagura didn't feel like she was hurt, but Seiji didn't want to let it go just like that. If there really wasn't a chance, then he could only give up, but if there was a chance, of course he would fight for it.
"You're lying," Shika Kagura said lightly.
Seiji's heart skipped a beat. Did she see through him?
"Brother, you're lying … If the situation becomes bad, you definitely won't run away, but will do your best to help President Wanhua and the others … to last until the end."
"Er …" 'Oh, that's it.' Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
"I won't; I know my own limits. If even President Wanhua and the others find it difficult to deal with, I'll only be a burden if I stay behind, so I'll immediately run away."
Shika Kagura obviously didn't believe him.
'What kind of image do I have in Little Shi's heart?' Seiji was suddenly curious.
"I promise you that I won't force myself! So don't worry too much. " He comforted her gently, "Besides, the chances of the situation becoming bad are quite low to begin with, so don't worry too much."
"Yeah …" Shika Kagura could only accept his words.
But she still felt uneasy and wanted to do something, for her brother's sake …
She silently thought to herself.
After lunch.
Seiji returned the utensils and found Mai.
Mai took him to the basement and entered that room again.
"I won't be accompanying you this time, so you need to be careful. If you encounter any danger during your Visualization, or if you feel that something is amiss, hurry up and wake up, "Mai warned him in a serious tone.
"I will." Seiji nodded.
Then, he sat down on the sofa and stared at the painting on the wall. He opened up his system and chose [Visualization] again.
