Mika walked out of her room and returned to the living room. She saw Seiji and Summer Night quietly sipping tea together.
Both of them were powerful individuals … they were handsome, beautiful, and mentally strong. They were both powerful individuals.
Mika wanted to become just like them.
What Mika didn't know was that these two "powerful individuals" had just lost their composure due to embarrassment, and had only just regained their composure after much difficulty …
"How was it, Mika?" Seiji asked when he saw that the twintailed girl had returned.
"Grandpa Zhao said that those spiritual artifacts were indeed given to my father by him. He made them out of boredom back in the day."
'He really did make them out of boredom! '
"As for that board game, did he say what kind of spiritual artifact it was, and how to use it?" Summer Night asked.
"He said that he forgot."
"What?"
"Grandpa Zhao said that he made many things at that time. He can't remember the specific details because he has dementia." Mika could only smile wryly.
Summer Night and Seiji were both rendered speechless.
"Do powerful Spiritual Ability users have dementia as well?" Seiji looked towards Summer Night.
"… I'm not sure." Summer Night revealed a subtle expression.
'This reason for forgetting is quite strong. ' Seiji commented in his mind.
"Then … is Grandpa Zhao's relationship with your father simply that of friends despite the difference in age?" Seiji continued asking.
"No." Mika shook her head slightly.
"He said that there was something going on between him and my father. Actually, he was the one who found my father back in the day, and it wasn't just a coincidence.
He hesitated about whether or not to tell my father the truth, but in the end, he decided not to.
Even now, he doesn't want to tell me. That's because telling me will only cause me more trouble, so he might as well not tell me. "
A period of silence fell between them.
"There are indeed some things in the world that are better left unsaid." Seiji sighed. "Since he's unwilling to tell me, we can only give up on trying to find out."
"Yeah …" Mika nodded slightly.
"What else did you guys talk about?"
"Grandpa Zhao asked me how I became a Spiritual Ability user, how my current life is, and what I want to do in the future … As an elder, he cares about me and encourages me." Mika smiled. "He's just like my own grandfather."
Perhaps he really is your biological grandfather … or great-grandfather. Seiji thought.
The old man had already decided not to say anything. The truth would probably remain a secret forever.
"He also said that he would help me, but he didn't say what he would do … I'm a little bothered."
"Maybe I'll give you some gifts, just like how I gave your father that year," Summer Night said.
"It's very possible … Maybe something incredible will arrive from overseas." Seiji rubbed his chin.
"This Old Mister Zhao can casually make a Spirit Artifact of such a level. If he were to give it to someone properly … it should be very powerful. It might be a whole set of Spirit Equipment, the kind that can transform after wearing it."
Mika was rendered speechless.
"From now on, I'll call you 'Spirit Equipped Girl Mika'!" Seiji's eyes flashed.
"Don't treat me like a magical girl!"
"Then how about 'Spirit Equipped Spirit Equipped Daoist Uehara?'"
"And don't treat me like a Huaxia immortal!"
"'Spirit Equipped Heroine Mika.'"
"I'm not going to save the world!" Mika forcefully retorted.
"Cough … let's get back to business. No matter what Old Mister Zhao gives you, just properly accept and thank him. Is there anything else? "
"… Nothing else."
"In that case, that's the whole story," Seiji concluded.
"Although I know the origins of the artifact, the creator has dementia, so I still don't know how to use the board game, wooden sword, and Kendama.
I also don't know the true relationship between Old Mister Zhao and Uehara. "
"That's not a complete answer … but it's enough, right?"
Mika nodded.
"As for those three Spirit Artifacts, do you want to sell them or keep them?" Seiji looked at her.
"I don't want to sell them, but I don't know how to use them even if I keep them …"
"In that case, let's continue renting them to Summer Night." Seiji turned towards the Grand Mistress, "Are you willing to continue renting them?"
"I'd be more than willing. After all, they're three high-level Spirit Artifacts that have value," Summer Night stated.
"Thank you, President."
"No need to be so polite. This is a business transaction."
"Finally, how should I explain it to the landlord …"
Seiji and Mika came to an agreement on what to say to Nozomi.
And so, the matter of the Uehara Family's artifact collection finally came to an end.
…
After saying goodbye to Summer Night, Seiji and Mika returned home together.
The two of them walked side by side for a while without speaking.
"Mika, are you able to communicate properly with Mashiro Kobayashi now?" Seiji casually asked after a long period of silence.
Mika shook her head.
"It seems that it won't be easy … but there's no need to rush. Let's take it slow."
"Yeah …"
"Mashiro Kobayashi is so powerful. As long as you can make her understand your instructions accurately, you'll become a powerful Spiritual Ability user as well." Seiji smiled.
"By the way, did you tell Zhao-san about Mashiro Kobayashi?"
"Yes, but I didn't go into too much detail. I only gave a general explanation of Mashiro Kobayashi's origins, as well as how she'll be able to use her stronger powers when I'm in danger …" Mika told him.
"If that's the case … I think it's appropriate." Seiji nodded.
Mashiro Kobayashi's powers were still a mystery to him. It wouldn't be good to talk too much about them, even if the person he was talking to was Zhao-san.
The two of them chatted for a while around Mashiro Kobayashi.
After that, they returned home.
After returning home, Seiji suddenly heard his system's notification. Words appeared in front of him …
[The cosplay photos and performance videos have been truly loved by many viewers on the internet. The 'Work Reward' option will receive reward points based on the viewers' love and praise for the work.]
Seiji was rendered speechless.
The cosplay photos and videos were actually considered "works" just like the published novel!? He was astonished.
'Is this your final blow?' System.
Seiji no longer felt embarrassed, so he no longer clutched his head and screamed at the top of his lungs. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this unexpected reward.
He entered his study and turned on his computer. He then opened up his dating sim system and looked at the "Work Reward" option under the "Gifts" option.
He saw that apart from the previous "I'll Die If I Don't Become Handsome" short story, there were now new rewards for cosplay photos and videos!
He now had 3 points … 4 points … and his income kept increasing.
After he finished checking, Seiji turned off his system, turned on his computer, and went online.
He then discovered that in the most famous open-ended forum in all of Sakura Island, where there were discussions about cosplay related to the doujinshi convention, the most popular thread was a thread about cosplay photos and videos of him and Izawa!
The thread's title was …
