Haruta Seiji and Kanna Fujihara met for the first time in this internet cafe room for the first time. Many years later, this meeting would be praised as the meeting that established a new era … just kidding.
Seiji sat down by the kotatsu.
Izawa poured a cup of tea for Seiji, as well as more tea for Kanna and Summer Night. He then poured tea for himself before sitting down.
"Haruta-kun, could you let me take a look at your spoils of war?" Kanna requested.
Seiji handed her the paper bag that he was carrying.
Kanna excitedly checked the contents of the paper bag.
Seiji looked towards Summer Night and met her gaze.
"How did it feel to visit the doujinshi convention?" he asked.
"Not bad," Summer Night responded. "It was quite interesting, but … it was a little too crowded."
"You can directly say that you felt that there were too many people." Seiji chuckled. "Did you buy anything?"
"Yes, I bought some doujinshi from some of the anime and manga that I've watched before, as well as …" Summer Night averted her gaze as her face flushed slightly red. "… some that Fujihara-san strongly recommended."
For a fujoshi like Grand Mistress Fujihara to strongly recommend such doujinshi, Seiji figured that it could only be that type of doujinshi. Seiji's cheeks twitched upon hearing this.
He could clearly imagine the scene of Fujihara-san endlessly recommending doujinshi to the Grand Mistress.
Ever since Seiji entered the door, he intentionally ignored one thing: most of the doujinshi on the table before him had pictures of beautiful boys on the cover. Many of them had pictures of half-naked boys hugging each other. Some of them even had obvious high-level restrictive symbols on them!
'You even bought adult doujinshi? Grand Mistress Fujihara, you're truly … '
"Why aren't there any adult doujinshi, Haruta-kun?" Kanna was confused after she finished inspecting Seiji's doujinshi.
"Because I'm still underage."
"This meaningless fact is not an obstacle. Please speak the truth!"
"Wah … because I'm traveling with four girls, so I can't buy adult books," Seiji said with difficulty.
Yes, he also wanted to buy adult doujinshi. However, he was accompanied by four girls, and his two younger sisters were watching the scene through the camera, so it was really difficult for him to make a move!
"So that's how it is. I understand, but I also feel disappointed." Kanna sighed. "You're only traveling with a girl, yet you don't dare to buy adult books. This proves that you don't have enough love for adult books!"
"Fujihara-san …"
"You should face your heart more directly! Whether it was with a girl, or with a relative, or even when the girl he loved was looking at him, he had to openly display his hobbies and sexual fetishes! Only by abandoning your sense of shame can you become a truly powerful warrior!! "Kanna spoke in an impassioned tone.
"Fujihara-san … no, Master Fujihara, I've learned my lesson!" Seiji bowed his head and accepted Seiji's teachings.
"Don't call me 'master.' I'm just an ordinary girl on the path of a 'warrior.'" Kanna flipped her hair and made a cool expression.
Summer Night and Izawa were both rendered speechless.
"Does your Grand Mistress often act like this? Izawa-kun? "
"No, this type of behavior is quite rare … I think it's because she's facing Harano-kun."
"Yep … these two people are giving off a similar aura."
"You're absolutely right."
The Wanhua Family's Grand Mistress and the Fujihara Family's Spirit-branded Retainers came to an agreement and drank tea together.
"Fujihara-san, I feel like I'm being subtly looked down upon."
"Haruta-kun, I feel the same way as well."
"Why is it like this?"
"Because they aren't true 'warriors.' They're unable to understand how hot-blooded we are on the battlefield, and how we have to keep fighting." Kanna pretended to have a sad expression.
"This is … such a tragic reality."
Seiji also pretended to have the same expression, as if he was immersed in the sadness of a tragic hero.
"That's enough!" Summer Night finally couldn't help but comment. "Can you stop acting in such a strange manner?"
"Whew … I've finally been commented on."
"Yep … I can't continue acting anymore."
Seiji and Kanna instantly retracted their sad expressions.
"Haruta-kun, didn't you only get 68 points just now?"
"I think so as well. You didn't cooperate well enough. It felt rather stiff. What do you think, Summer Night? "
"Don't count me in for your pranks."
"Ryuuno, you got 34 points. You fail."
"What kind of score is this? I don't understand. "
"Pfft ~ 20 points deducted! Now you only have 14 points. "
…
With Seiji and Kanna's pranks as the beginning, the four of them started chatting.
They talked about their books, talked about anime, ate lunch, talked about video games, and then started playing games and VR … they had fun together.
"Haruta-kun, you're going to continue going to the doujinshi convention tomorrow, right?" Kanna asked.
"Yes."
"Would you like to join us, then?" Kanna invited him again.
"Fujihara-san, are you free tomorrow as well? You're so free. "
"That's none of your business! Besides, aren't you the same? "
"My status is different from Grand Mistress Kagura's." Seiji chuckled and thought about it.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'll be honored to accept." This time, he decided to accept.
Kanna smiled as she looked at him.
The two of them agreed on a time and place to meet up tomorrow.
Natsuya quietly observed this scene from the side. She had already indicated that she wouldn't continue going to the doujinshi convention tomorrow, as she didn't have any free time.
After that, the four of them went their separate ways.
Kanna and Izawa left in a car, while Seiji and Summer Night also took a car home.
"Fujihara-san is such a lively girl," Seiji commented in the car.
"Yep, you could even say that she's a little too lively."
"Ha, isn't it rather tiring to go to the doujinshi convention with her?"
"What do you think?"
The two of them exchanged glances and then both chuckled.
"Although it's a little tiring, it's also quite fun." Summer Night smiled.
"It's a good thing that you got to know her at the Winter Snow Festival party."
"Yeah …"
The car fell silent for a moment.
"How's the investigation on Uehara's family going?" Seiji inquired.
"There's no report yet. I'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow … or perhaps tomorrow."
"I see." Seiji paused for a moment. "There's one more thing, about the temporary Spirit-branded Retainer contract …"
"You want to cancel it?" Summer Night looked at him.
"I think I should. Extending this contract will be a burden on you, won't it? "
"Indeed, but I don't want to cancel it."
"Why's that?"
Summer Night looked directly at Seiji's face.
"Because I want to maintain my connection with you," she told him in a soft voice.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He felt an itch in his heart when he heard such flirtatious words. He couldn't help but avert his gaze.
Natsuya's lips curled up in a seductive smile when she saw how shy he was.
"Hey, Seiji, are you willing?"
"Eh?"
"To maintain this contract … to be my Spirit-branded Retainer and be used by me."
When she said this, she intentionally got very close to Seiji's ear.
Her gentle words, her warm breath, and a faint fragrance … Seiji felt his ear heat up.
