Mika returned home.
Before calling the president … Summer Night, Seiji had to eat first. He was already hungry, and it was likely that the Grand Mistress was eating at this time as well.
"Sensei, would you like to have lunch with us?"
"Is that alright?"
"Of course, as long as you don't mind the plain food."
"How could I possibly mind? I won't stand on ceremony. Compared to eating alone, it's much more delicious to eat with everyone. "The blonde teacher smiled." As a meager reward, let me help you cook. "
"No need to be so polite."
"I can't just sit here and wait to eat. Let me help you, Harano-kun."
Feng Wu insisted on entering the kitchen, so Seiji could only accept.
He wanted to let Little Shi rest, but Little Shi also insisted on cooking.
Thus, he, Feng Wu, and Little Shi stood together in the kitchen.
Cooking together with two beauties … Seiji had a sense of déjà vu. He recalled that he had done this with Mika and the landlord before, on the day that Feng Wu moved in.
He had a great time eating that dinner. However … Seiji secretly glanced at Feng Wu beside him.
The blonde teacher was washing vegetables with a smile on her face. She seemed to be enjoying this time.
Seiji felt a bit complicated. He believed that he had a clear conscience about Feng Wu, but …
He didn't know how to say it. In short, he hoped that she could be happy no matter what.
Feng Wu noticed Seiji's gaze.
Having him look at her meant that he cared about her, and she was happy that he cared about her.
It was nice to be able to eat together, and it was nice to cook together. She was happy that he cared about her.
She believed that she would be even happier in the future.
The lunch she made was delicious.
Ling Yang ate half a bowl more than usual.
Feng Wu insisted on washing the dishes, and so did Little Shi. As for Seiji … he was sent out by the two girls to do whatever he was supposed to do.
Little Ling Yang sat by the stove, lying on the table softly, like a lazy kitten that had eaten and drunk enough.
Seiji looked at the time and felt that it was not a good time to make a phone call. He decided to rest for a while and lay on the table like Little Ling Yang, turning into a lazy big cat.
Gradually, his consciousness blurred …
…
He slowly opened his eyes.
I actually fell asleep? What time is it now?
After waking up, Seiji noticed that his body was very warm, soft, and had a faint fragrance.
Turning his head, he saw Little Shi sleeping beside him, leaning against him tightly.
The corners of the black-haired girl's lips curled up into a faint smile, as if she was having a beautiful dream.
Seiji was stunned by this sight.
What was going on?
He looked around and discovered that he was sleeping by the stove, while Little Shi was sleeping next to him.
And judging from the feel of his feet in the stove, there was someone else sleeping on the other side of him.
It could only be Feng Wu and Ling Yang.
Four people asleep by the fireplace … Really.
Seiji looked at Little Shi again.
She seemed to be sleeping so soundly … he really didn't want to wake her up.
But there was something he needed to do, so he shouldn't be sleeping anymore.
Seiji wanted to secretly get up without waking his adopted younger sister, so he tried moving a little.
Excellent. There was no reaction.
He moved away a little more.
But at this moment, the black-haired girl moved closer to him and hugged him!
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Little Shi, are you awake?" he tried asking in a soft voice.
There was no response.
It seemed that she was only moving in a dream.
Seiji carefully lifted his hand and tried to gently remove his adopted sister's hand from his body.
The moment he touched her hand, he suddenly heard her call out, "Brother …"
'She's awake?'
Seiji turned around to look.
He saw that Little Shi's eyes were still closed, and only her lips were moving slightly.
"… My favorite …"
He only faintly heard this word.
Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
This scene … could no longer be described as beautiful or cute.
He was unable to describe what he felt.
He recalled the time when Little Shi lost her memories and how he interacted with her.
He felt a surge of emotions in his heart.
He held Shika's hand, but didn't remove it.
'Forget it, I'll sleep like this for a while longer!'
As he thought this, Seiji held his adopted sister's hand and closed his eyes.
…
In the end, he slept all the way until the afternoon.
After waking up, Little Shi's cheeks were slightly red as she returned to her room.
"I should have said goodbye, but I didn't want to go back to my own room." Feng Wu hugged Little Ling Yang and spoke in an almost spoiled manner. "Can I eat dinner here as well? I'll go buy groceries. "
Seiji looked towards Little Ling Yang.
The little girl leaned against the blonde beauty and seemed to enjoy being hugged.
The answer was self-evident.
After agreeing to Feng Wu's request, Seiji went to his study and made a phone call.
"Good afternoon … Summer Night."
"Good afternoon … Seiji."
He felt that it was rather awkward to say his name.
"I ran into something here, it's like this …"
Seiji told her what happened this morning.
"It's able to drag multiple participants into various illusions and forcefully control them, as well as restrict both you and Kagura-san's movements … Judging from all this, this board game is probably a high-level spiritual artifact," Summer Night told him in a serious tone.
"It's unlikely that such a spiritual artifact was created purely for entertainment … at least that's what I believe.
I'll have to investigate it to understand the specifics, but I'm busy today, so bring it to me tomorrow night. "
"Alright," Seiji agreed.
"By the way, it's truly astonishing that Uehara -san's family was able to produce such a spiritual artifact."
"Yeah, I'm starting to suspect that Sakura-san visiting Mika during the school festival wasn't just a coincidence, but for some hidden reason."
"That's possible … Uehara -san seemed like an ordinary person to me, but perhaps Sakura-san saw something …"
Both of them fell silent.
"I'm quite curious as to what exactly happened. If you find out anything, please let me know. "
"Okay …"
They ended their conversation there.
Seiji held his cell phone in a daze for a while.
Should he contact Mika right now and ask her about the situation? Or should he wait a little longer?
He didn't know if she managed to find out anything from the landlord.
He decided to wait a little longer.
Seiji put away his cell phone, sat down in front of his computer, and started writing.
After a while, someone knocked on his door.
Seiji opened the door and welcomed Mika into his room.
At this time, Ling Yang and Feng Wu also went into their rooms, so the living room was empty.
"I asked my mom, and she said that dad was a rather strange person when he was young," Mika told him after sitting down by the kotatsu.
"He would talk to a place where there was nothing, read strange books, make strange gestures, act funny, write strange runes, or draw … something like that.
He said that he thought too much when he was young and became an idiot. But I still like things that look a little strange, so I collected some, including this pair of sixes. "
Because he valued his collection quite a bit when he was alive, my mom didn't get rid of it and kept it.
I went to the storage room and felt that it would be quite troublesome to take everything out, so I took a picture with my cell phone.
