It was getting late into the night.
Mika and Nozomi returned home.
Little Shi went to take a shower first, and then Seiji went to take a shower.
After he finished showering, his adopted younger sister pulled him back and led him into her room.
"Brother Seiji … for you." She handed him a white gift box.
Seiji thanked her and accepted it. He then opened it and took out the item. He saw that it was a black jacket.
He immediately put it on and felt that it fit him perfectly.
"It fits perfectly and looks great."
Seiji smiled at Little Shi. Then, he reached out and carefully adjusted his collar as she walked closer to him.
Seeing his adopted younger sister's beautiful face and gentle expression at such a close distance, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall her wish that he saw on the information card …
He suddenly had the urge to reach out and hug her, but he restrained himself.
"Brother …"
After Little Shi adjusted his collar, she didn't move away. Instead, she continued looking at his face with something flashing in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something.
Seiji felt his heartbeat become louder.
"I want to be together with you …"
As she spoke, her cheeks reddened slightly, and she suddenly averted her gaze.
"Together … just like this."
"Eh?"
"Always living together … just like this."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He clenched his fists tightly to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
"Yes, of course." He smiled. "We'll always be together."
…
After leaving his room, Seiji had the urge to beat himself up. As for why he had such an urge, even he didn't quite understand.
When he walked into the living room, he saw Chiaki and Ling Yang playing a video game together.
Seiji had Ling Yang go take a shower. The little girl obediently put down the game controller and went to the bathroom.
Chiaki handed the game controller to Seiji Mukai.
Seiji took the controller and gladly accepted the challenge.
Both sides controlled the red-haired white-clothed man and the golden-haired red-clothed man respectively. They began fighting fiercely on the television screen, with all sorts of techniques and shouts.
Chiaki used an ultimate move, but it was blocked. Seiji countered with a combo followed by an overkill, a beautiful KO.
The two of them played a few rounds in a row, and Seiji won all of them with Overkill.
"No mercy at all. What a cruel man."
"Fighting with all your might is the respect a Grandmaster of Combat has for his opponent!"
"I don't want this kind of respect. Go easy on me!"
"Hahaha, impossible!"
Seiji put on an arrogant expression.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning, Chiaki requested to change the game.
Seiji readily agreed.
Then, he was beaten black and blue all over!
"Haha, this is the only score. How pitiful ~"
"Wugu … Damn it! You're despicable. "
"Saying that the victor is despicable is just the lamentation of a defeated dog. Bark as much as you want! Hehehe — "
Chiaki pretended to be an evil female villain and laughed three times, looking down at the loser.
Seiji stubbornly resisted.
When Ling Yang came out of the shower, the battle changed from a two-team battle to a three-way battle. They had fun until bedtime.
Seiji had Little Ling Yang go to bed while he brought a blanket and pillow to the living room for Chiaki.
"With this equipment, we'll be able to get through the winter safely! Thank you for your support, First Lieutenant Haruta. "Chiaki took the items and bowed with a smile.
"You're welcome, Second Lieutenant Wakaba." Seiji looked at her. "If you still feel cold, come to my room and call me."
"And then you'll use your body to warm me?"
"Body my ass. I'll give you a blanket."
"You want to be my blanket!?"
Seiji was speechless.
Chiaki giggled.
The two of them exchanged glances.
"Good night, Seiji."
"Good night, Chiaki."
After saying good night to each other, Seiji turned off the living room lights and returned to his room.
"Brother Harano, here's a present!"
After entering his room, he saw Little Ling Yang skipping over to him and handing him a small gift box.
"Thank you." Seiji happily accepted it and opened it.
It was a small Cream Bunny plushie with a lanyard attached. It could be hung on his cell phone as a decoration, or placed on a table as a decoration.
"I like this. It's really cute," he told her sincerely.
The little girl smiled cutely.
He put away the plushie, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Seiji entered his soul realm.
He opened up his system and checked his [Gifts] tab. He saw that Little Shi, Mika, and Ling Yang had given him a bunch of rewards.
He carefully looked over these rewards and felt that one of the more special ones was …
The [Free Skill Card] that he received from Little Shi.
With this card, he could use any ability he wanted once without any consumption of stamina, mental energy, or the number of uses. For example, [Light from the Brink]. Even if he used it on the same day, he could use it again with this card!
The [Invisible Attack Card] that he received from Mika.
After using it, he would become invisible until he came into contact with other creatures. This state would last for two minutes at most, and he could be seen by powerful Astral Vision users. If he attacked a living creature while invisible, the power of the attack would be multiplied, and he would be visible after the attack.
This was a classic combination of [Invisibility] and [Backstab] that he received from [Ling Yang]!
The [Invulnerable Defense Card] that he received from Ling Yang.
After using it, he would be able to block any attack without taking any damage.
It could be described as a life-saving talisman! If he used it to block a powerful enemy's ultimate attack, he would be able to act cool with it.
Apart from these three cards, the others were items that increased his stats, as well as items that didn't have any special effects.
Seiji was grateful for receiving these.
He immediately used one of the cards that increased attribute values. He increased the "Painting" attribute value, the "Charm" attribute value, and the "Spiritual Power" attribute value.
Then, he turned off his system and began cultivating.
…
After he fulfilled all the requirements, he paid the required points and learned [Beginner-level Healing].
Seiji rested for a while before climbing down the stairs and leaving the soul realm.
He opened his eyes and quietly got up. He didn't want to disturb the sleeping Ling Yang, so he got out of bed, put on his jacket, and walked out of his room.
He silently walked to the living room, only to discover that Chiaki was nowhere to be seen!
The door to her room was open.
When Seiji walked out of the room, he saw a silver-haired beauty with a blanket draped over her. She was silently looking up at the night sky.
The snow had stopped, and the moon appeared in the sky. Its gentle silver moonlight scattered down.
Under the silver moon, the silver-haired girl was looking up at the sky … this scene was both beautiful and poetic.
Seiji walked up to her and silently looked up at the sky together with her.
A few moments later.
"You've sensed it."
Chiaki spoke in a soft voice.
"I didn't sleep together with Mika because I felt like I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
I should have gone home, but I really didn't want to go home … so I could only bother you for a while.
I really wanted to experience sleeping on tatami mats and mats … at any rate, I was just being willful.
I'm sorry for giving you trouble. "
Seiji looked towards her.
"I didn't notice anything; I was just going along with your wishes. I came out to see you in the middle of the night because I was worried that you might be cold.
I know that you're a slightly willful person, but that's fine. If I think that you're being unreasonable, I'll rebuke you. If I think that you're being unreasonable, I'll punish you with an iron fist.
On the other hand, as long as I don't think that you're being unreasonable, I'll cooperate with you, either by helping you or accompanying you. "
Seiji smiled gently.
