With such a perfect (beautiful) appearance, coupled with her family background, she was the perfect embodiment of boys' fantasies.
To put it more elegantly, she was the typical dream lover, but to put it in a more vulgar way...
At any rate, Genji felt that Wanhua Summer Night was an incredibly charismatic girl. Even she, as a girl of the same gender, had been infatuated with her beauty for a period of time, let alone boys.
Harano Seigo had a relationship with Wanhua Summer Night. This was a rumor from the very beginning.
But the two of them didn't interact with each other after that... more accurately speaking, no ordinary students saw them interact, so this rumor died down.
But now...
Genji didn't doubt Seigo's words at all, because such a lie was meaningless, and it would be quite easy to prove.
She believed that it was true: Wanhua Summer Night had invited Harano Seigo to celebrate the Winter Snow Festival together!
A moment of silence fell between them.
"Why are you telling me about this?" Genji asked.
"Chiaki said that this is an apology for what happened last time," Mika replied.
"Then why didn't Wakaba -san tell me herself?"
"Because... she felt that it would be better for me to tell you."
Genji fell silent again and thought about it.
"... She's given up, right?"
"Eh?"
"Because she feels that President Wanhua is too strong of an opponent, Wakaba -san has decided to give up on Harano -san... is that so?"
"No... sort of... but it's also not... I guess." Mika didn't know how to respond.
Chiaki didn't want to monopolize Seiji; she wanted to be his mistress! It was difficult to say such a thing.
"Uehara -san?" Genji was confused.
"Chiaki said that she can't think of any way to resist... I guess it's an attitude of giving up," Mika could only say.
"Oh..."
"Asamiya-san, do you have any ideas?"
"No."
Without even thinking for a second, Genji answered straightforwardly.
"As a girl, President Wanhua is a super existence. I can't think of a way to compete with her."
"To put it in an extreme way, if I were a man, I would definitely choose Wanhua Summer Night instead of myself … Wanhua Grand Mistress's charm is just that strong."
Mika was rendered speechless.
"But Harano-san isn't me. He's him. In the end, it all depends on his choice." Yukari chuckled.
"The opponent is very strong, but this is not a reason to give up. At the very least, I will not give up like this. I will continue to do what I can."
"Until the very last moment, victory and defeat won't be decided … That's what I think. What about you? Uehara -san. "
Mika was silent for a while.
"I … don't want to give up either."
"President... you're truly a beautiful, amazing, and perfect girl."
"Just as Asamiya-san said, if I were a man, I would probably choose the president as well instead of myself."
"But even so, I don't want to give up just like this."
She made up her mind.
Genji smiled.
"I think that I can get along with you, Uehara -san."
"You're different from Wakaba -san … Although the two of you are together, and it seems like she's the dominant one, I believe that you'll eventually be able to go further than her."
Mika didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only remain silent.
"Please continue to be yourself, Uehara -san. Thank Wakaba-san for me as well. Thank you for telling me this. "
Then, she hung up.
"Asamiya-san …"
Mika put down her cell phone and lay down on her bed. She stared at the ceiling for a while before slowly closing her eyes.
…
Seiji called the president.
"Good evening, President."
"… Good evening, Haruta-kun."
'Hmm?' Seiji felt that her response was a tad too slow, and her tone seemed rather weak.
"What's the matter, President?"
"… Nothing … No, it's not really nothing." Seiji sighed.
"Are you not feeling well? Or … is there some trouble? "Seiji tried asking.
Summer Night fell silent for a moment.
"There is indeed a troublesome matter," she explained. "I was just forced to participate in a social gathering during the Winter Snow Festival."
"A social gathering?"
"It's a gathering for the younger generation of Yin-Yang Masters from the major families to meet and interact with each other … That's what they call it in name, but it's actually a social gathering."
"A social gathering …"
"You could call it a blind date, but at any rate, it's a gathering for young Yin-Yang Masters to show off their abilities and find a partner."
"Oh …"
"I didn't want to participate in this gathering, but my family forced me to, so I'm currently frustrated," Summer Night said softly, something flashing in her eyes.
"Haruta-kun … I have a rather excessive request to make of you."
"What is it?"
"Please become my temporary Spirit-branded Retainer again, and accompany me to this gathering."
Seiji blinked in surprise.
"Is this request … excessive?"
"Yes, it's possible that you'll get injured, or even seriously injured," the Grand Mistress told him in a serious tone.
Fighting was the best method for Yin-Yang Masters to display their strength, and such incidents would definitely occur at the gathering.
Summer Night didn't want to fight, but she couldn't stop others from causing trouble for her, and it was possible that she would be forced to fight.
If Seiji agreed to go with her, he would have to bear the associated risks. The worst result would be being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment as a seriously injured patient.
"I'll do my best to avoid it, but I can't guarantee that a battle won't occur.
Apart from the risk of injury, there's also your identity … If you show your face in public, something bad might happen, and if you wear a mask, someone might see through your disguise. "Summer Night paused for a moment.
"If it were possible, I wouldn't make this request, but Hitaka still hasn't recovered, and Rona has something urgent to do, so she's temporarily away. It's also forbidden to hire or borrow a Spirit-branded Retainer.
The identity of the accompanying Spirit-branded Retainer must be approved, and you … will definitely be approved. I can't think of any other Spirit-branded Retainer apart from you. "
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"If I refuse, President, you'll have to go by yourself?"
"Yeah …"
"What will happen if you go by yourself?"
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"Someone I really dislike will sell me a favor."
"Eh?"
"Without a Spirit-branded Retainer to accompany me, I'll be ridiculed and ridiculed … but that's something I can endure," the Grand Mistress told him.
"What I can't endure is that someone I really dislike will take the opportunity to approach me in the name of 'protecting' me.
I don't want him to approach me, but he'll definitely take the opportunity … I even suspect that he's the reason why I'm being forced to attend this gathering. "
Her tone was flat, but Seiji could hear the deep emotions within.
"So you're saying that if I don't go, President, you'll be approached by a boy you really dislike, right?"
"That's right."
"Then I'm actually just a shield?"
"… You could say that."
Acting as a shield for the beautiful Grand Mistress at the gathering … such a plot had finally arrived!
At this moment, Seiji's mouth arced upwards as he recalled a plot from his previous world.
