The silence lasted for a while before it was broken by his cell phone's ringtone.
It was Tomohisa's phone.
He slowly took out his cell phone and froze in place when he saw who was calling.
The ringtone continued to ring. It was the latest song from the anime "Honey Candy Girl."
Tomohisa didn't pick up, nor did he refuse to listen. He simply waited in a daze until the ringtone stopped.
Then, it was Seiji's cell phone that started ringing.
It was Feng Wu.
Seiji stared at his cell phone for a few seconds before he chose to answer.
"Good evening, Harano-kun."
"Good evening, Juumonji-sensei."
"I apologize for suddenly calling you at this time... because I feel a little... uncomfortable," she said in a soft voice.
Seiji remained silent.
"Harano-kun... what's the matter?" Feng Wu sharply detected something.
Seiji looked towards Tomohisa.
Tomohisa's head was still lowered.
"Harano-kun?" Juumonji-Sensei raised her voice slightly. "You... are you currently together with Brother Tomohisa?"
She guessed at it.
Seiji sighed inwardly.
"Yes."
"What happened?" Kaede's voice sounded a little nervous.
"Your older brother... something happened to Zankita Juumonji-Sensei."
...
Feng Wu hurried back home.
She felt a chill envelop her entire body when she saw her older brother's abnormal appearance and her second brother's depressed appearance.
"What exactly happened?"
Seiji explained to her.
Feng Wu's expression darkened upon hearing this.
"Idiot... both of them..."
While she was in her apartment, she suddenly felt inexplicably restless, as if she had forgotten something very important but couldn't recall it. She felt restless.
Then, she recalled that she hadn't contacted her family for a while, so she called Tomohisa to chat with him. However, he didn't pick up.
So he called Seiji again, wanting to chat a little, but he didn't expect …
Looking at her two stupid brothers, Feng Wu wanted to get angry, but she couldn't. In the end, she could only sigh.
"Second Brother, what are you waiting for? You want to save Big Brother, right? Hurry up and pull yourself together. "
Tomohisa slowly raised his head.
"It's to save him … Sister … If I fail, I'll leave Father to you."
"Hmm?" Feng Wu frowned. "You … want to save him alone?"
"Yes."
"Don't be silly! Harano-kun said that if he's alone … "
"I know! But I can't let you take the risk! "Tomohisa's tone suddenly rose." Someone must stay behind to take care of Father. "
Feng Wu was silent for a moment, and her eyes flickered.
"Then you stay, I'll save him," she said calmly.
"You … what are you talking about!?"
"If Second Brother and Eldest Brother are both gone, I won't be able to maintain the Juumonji Group! I won't be able to take care of Father. But Second Brother, if you stay behind, it'll be fine! "
"Don't say such foolish things! It's all my fault that the situation became like this. I didn't stop Eldest Brother in time, so only I can take responsibility for saving him, not you! "Tomohisa said in a severe tone.
"You're the foolish one! Saving Eldest Brother is your responsibility, but isn't maintaining the Juumonji Group's responsibility as well!? Staying behind to ensure that the Juumonji Group continues to exist is your greatest responsibility! "Feng Wu said coldly.
"That's not my responsibility! It's Eldest Brother's responsibility! I'll drag him back!! "
"What if you fail!? If it's the same no matter who saves him, why don't I do it? That's more reasonable … "
"Reasonable, the hell! Can you even bring that idiot back!? I'll definitely have a higher success rate than you!! "
"The idiot Second Brother who didn't stop the idiot Eldest Brother in time doesn't have the right to say such things!!"
The two siblings started arguing.
Seiji silently walked away.
He couldn't say anything. This was a choice that Tomohisa and Feng Wu had to make. He could only wait for the result.
He could feel the deep affection between family members from this life-threatening argument.
"Yomi, apart from casting spells, is there really nothing else we can do?" Seiji asked his bonded spirit.
"If the two of them work together to save Eldest Brother, and both of them sincerely accept you, you can help them. However, you'll only be able to help for a short period of time. One minute at most. "
"One minute …"
"Yeah, that's the limit."
Seiji fell silent.
The argument continued for quite a while.
After the argument subsided, he walked back to see the Juumonji siblings standing across from each other. However, neither of them was looking at the other.
"What's your decision?" Seiji asked in a soft voice.
"I'll save him!" Tomohisa and Feng Wu simultaneously looked at him and spoke in unison.
Then, the siblings simultaneously looked at each other and glared at each other.
"I'd like to give you a little more time, but the longer you delay, the worse the situation will become." Seiji sighed.
Tomohisa and Feng Wu's expressions darkened as they simultaneously looked at the strange black person.
"Also, I'd like to say …" Seiji paused for a moment. "This isn't a suggestion, but an additional explanation — if the two of you work together to save him, I can help you, but only for a very short period of time. I can only help for one minute at most."
"Hmm?"
"One minute?"
"Yes, both of you acknowledge me as a good friend, so I can help out even though I'm an outsider. But, that's all I can do."
Tomohisa's friendliness rating and Feng Wu's favorability rating were both quite high. Their bond rating was also quite high. This was probably what Yomi meant by "truly accepting" him.
The siblings looked at him.
"You mean … we have a good relationship with you, so you'll be able to help us?" Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses.
"You could say that."
"In that case, if we have a better relationship with you, will you be able to help us for longer?" Something flashed in Feng Wu's eyes.
"No, one minute is my limit," Seiji denied.
"I see, what a pity." Tomohisa sighed.
"Yeah, what a pity … if it's possible, I'd be more than happy to have a closer relationship with Harano-kun … Haruta-kun." Feng Wu's face began to flush red.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I'd also be more than happy to have a closer relationship with Seigo … Seiji," Tomohisa added.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Tomohisa chuckled upon seeing the handsome boy's astonished expression.
Feng Wu also chuckled.
The atmosphere eased up a little.
The Juumonji siblings exchanged glances and communicated with each other with their eyes.
"Let's just leave it at that."
"Okay."
After they made their decision, they turned to Seiji Mukai.
"We've decided to save Eldest Brother together."
Seiji looked at them.
"Why?"
"Of course it's because of what you just said," Tomohisa answered.
"I said that it wasn't a suggestion … I can only help you for one minute at most, and it's highly likely that I can only be of help for half a minute, or even ten seconds …"
"You said from the start that it would be best for two people to save Eldest Brother, and with your help, even if it's only for a short amount of time, it'll be more than enough." Feng Wu smiled.
"She doesn't believe me, and I don't believe her, but we both believe in you. Even if you're only able to help out, it'll be a solid guarantee. "Tomohisa smiled.
Seiji was rather moved by their trust in him.
"Are you … really certain?"
The siblings nodded in unison.
"Alright … I wish you success," he said sincerely.
If they didn't succeed, he would have to load.
