The second step was also successfully completed. There was only one last step left.
Seiji and Summer Night recited the incantation in unison, confirming their Spirit-branded Retainer contract as an alliance.
Seiji's body heated up again, and he felt a warmth spreading throughout his entire body … he could actually feel his power increasing!
"Mmm ~"
At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
Seiji opened his eyes and saw that Summer Night's face was flushed red, and her lips were slightly parted. She seemed to be acting strangely.
Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he heard...
"Mmm ~"
The red-faced Grand Mistress's body trembled, and she made a strange sound again. It sounded like … she was panting while doing it!
Seiji was stunned.
"Grand Mistress, what's the matter?" Hitaka and the others gathered around.
"Mmm ~ ~" Summer Night forcefully gripped Seiji's hand, and her body trembled even more violently as she made even more ecstatic sounds.
Everyone was rendered speechless.
What was going on!?
The girls all widened their eyes in surprise and reflexively looked towards the boy beside them.
"I didn't do anything!" Seiji wanted to let go of his hands to prove his innocence, but Seiji held onto them tightly.
"Mmm ~ ~" Summer Night's moans became even louder, and her face was as red as a ripe apple. Her body trembled again, and this continued for several seconds.
It seemed as if she was about to …
"What should we do!?" Hitaka was getting anxious. He had never heard of such a phenomenon before!
"Let's try using a cleansing spell," Mai said decisively.
At her maid's suggestion, the red-haired girl speedily formed a seal and cast a spell on Grand Mistress.
Summer Night panted lightly, and then her body trembled again. But this time, she kept her lips tightly shut and forced herself not to make a sound.
This … was the cleansing spell effective or not?
"It seems to be effective. Let's try again."
Hitaka cast another spell.
"No need … I'm fine …" Summer Night spoke up.
She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of watery eyes. Her entire expression looked incomparably flirtatious and alluring.
At this time, he should be worried about her condition, but Seiji's heartbeat quickened as he watched. Images appeared in his mind … Cough, let's get rid of all distracting thoughts!
He forcefully stopped his mind that was about to go astray and asked.
"How are you? Is there a problem? "
Summer Night looked at him with a subtle expression on her face.
"Because of your spiritual power …"
"Huh?"
"Your spiritual power is closely connected to mine. It makes me feel … very strange." She blushed and whispered, averting her gaze. "It's like … I'm being intimately touched."
Seiji: "…"
My spiritual power has such an effect!?
He was shocked.
What was this? A spiritual power that can make people feel as if they're being intimately caressed … what exactly is this!?
Summer Night said it vaguely. In fact, looking at her performance just now, to accurately describe it, one would have to use a more explicit way of saying it.
For example, Mana Replenishment?
No, no, I didn't do that! I just held hands in a very pure manner!!
Seiji's mind was in a mess.
Beside him, Hitaka had a confused expression as question marks popped up in his head.
Something flashed in Mai's eyes. Rona blinked.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"At any rate, I'm fine … the ritual was successfully completed without any problems." Summer Night looked towards Hitaka and the others. "You don't need to worry."
"It's good that Grand Mistress is fine," Hitaka said as he glanced over at Seiji.
"Junior's spiritual power … is actually so special. Honestly." Mai smiled as she glanced over at Seiji as well.
Rona silently stared at Seiji.
Seiji didn't know what expression he should have right now.
"Er … I'm sorry, Summer Night, I didn't know that my spiritual power would …"
"It's not your fault. Stop talking about it."
The Grand Mistress still averted her gaze and didn't look at him.
"It was just … a small accident, don't mind it … please don't mind it!"
She emphasized the phrase "don't mind it."
Seiji understood what she meant.
"Yep, I won't remember it, and I'll forget it soon."
"That's good."
Summer Night did her best to suppress her embarrassment.
She really wanted to leave this place and go to her own bedroom, but he wouldn't let go of her hand … Eh, wait, I should be the one holding his hand and not letting go!?
She felt even more embarrassed when she noticed this and hurriedly let go.
"That's all for now, I'm a little tired and need to rest … you should rest early as well!"
The Grand Mistress turned around and walked out of the spellcasting room after saying this in an unnatural tone.
Seiji and the others watched her leave.
The moment that Summer Night walked out the door, she quickened her footsteps and arrived at her own bedroom as quickly as the wind. She entered, closed the door, locked it, and then jumped onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow.
"Ahhhh ~ ~ ~ ~"
She covered her face with the pillow to muffle her voice and squirmed about.
'It's so comfortable!'
She felt an indescribable sense of comfort when she formed an alliance with him and was intimately connected to him!!
It was thick, rich, and warm … it surged within her body and filled her up … it was so comfortable! It was to the extent that it let out such a sound, and even its body was trembling.
'So embarrassing!!!!'
Summer Night hugged her pillow and began rolling about while making muffled sounds.
She was so embarrassed that he saw her like that, and even Hitaka and the others saw it! She really wanted to die!!
If there was a hole in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it.
Unfortunately, there was no hole, only a blanket.
And so, she crawled under the blanket and continued to make muffled sounds, making a ruckus.
'This is so embarrassing … it's all his fault! Haruta Seiji!!
The great Wanhua Family Grand Mistress hid under the blanket and covered her face with her pillow. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was flushed red as she viciously told that person in her mind.
"It's all your fault! You need to take responsibility!! Idiot!!! "
…
After returning to his guest room, Seiji sneezed several times.
He didn't even need to think to know why. It was probably Summer Night complaining, or perhaps Mai and Hitaka had a part in it as well?
That kind of behavior was not only embarrassing and shameful for a girl, it could even be said to be embarrassing.
'I'll apologize to her seriously tomorrow.' That was what Seiji thought to himself.
Although it was an accident, it was still caused by his own power, so he should properly apologize.
Then, he opened up his system and checked.
There was a new option under his [Yin-Yang Seal], [Spirit-branded Alliance].
He clicked on it and saw that [Wanhua Summer Night] was in the [Alliance] state. It took up 58 points of Spiritual Power and generated 10 points per day. Her abilities and growth rate received medium bonuses.
It took up almost 60 points of Spiritual Power, which was almost six times more than the [Bond Contract] that Little Shi hadn't signed yet. Yet, the number of points generated was the same, and her abilities and growth rate were only medium bonuses … From this, it could be seen that the [Bond Contract] was a special contract that would only be unlocked when a Spirit-branded Retainer's bond rating reached 100 or above.
If he asked Little Shi to become a Spirit-branded Retainer and participate in the battle, she would definitely agree, but Seiji didn't want to get her involved.
Although 60 Spiritual Power took up a lot of Spiritual Power, with his current Spiritual Power of over 300, he could at most bear the burden of five Spirit-branded Retainers. As long as he maintained his own power, he could bear the burden of three Spirit-branded Retainers.
'I wonder if signing a contract with Kirin-san or Shuho-san will also take up this amount of Spiritual Power …' Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
It would be fine if it took up the same amount of Spiritual Power. But if it varied from person to person, and the Spiritual Power taken up by Kirin and Shuho-san was higher, then he might not be able to bear the burden.
He would have to try it out to find out.
