After resting for a while, Seiji called Little Shi to let her know that he was safe.
Shika Kagura wanted to immediately come over after learning that Seiji was hospitalized.
Seiji persuaded her to come back tomorrow.
Then, he called Mika Kagura and told her about Shinobu as well.
Then, he went to find Summer Night and told her about Shinobu.
The Grand Mistress was delighted to learn that the little demon was still alive.
"Shinobu's body is now ours. However, the Mitarai Family wishes to conduct an investigation to find out how Akira Mitarai died." Summer Night paused for a moment. "I don't think it's possible to refuse this request … I'll have someone monitor the investigation process to prevent them from damaging anything."
"What's the current condition of that puppet?"
"After you released the demon, we returned to the real world. The puppet was lying there on the ground, and it didn't seem to have suffered much damage."
"Will Akira Mitarai's death cause much trouble?" Seiji looked directly at her.
"Of course there will be trouble. After all, he was an outstanding talent that the Mitarai Family valued greatly. However, he was killed by his own puppet Spirit-branded Retainer. He wasn't killed by anyone on our side, so … there shouldn't be much trouble."
"That's good, then."
Several seconds of silence fell between them.
"Seiji …" "Summer Night …"
Both of them spoke at the same time and paused for a moment.
"You go first." "You go first."
They spoke at the same time again.
Both of them exchanged glances and chuckled.
"We've won."
They spoke at the same time and said the exact same words.
They won … they won the duel!
Although the process was unexpected, and Seiji basically self-destructed, victory was victory.
Seiji decided to enjoy this joy for a while.
"I'd like to ask you, what do you want as payment this time?" Something flashed in Summer Night's eyes. "Apart from that puppet."
"Nothing in particular … for now."
"For now?"
"I might want something in the future." Seiji thought about what he was about to do.
Summer Night's heartbeat sped up as she thought of something when she saw his serious expression.
The only thing I want is you … What should I do if he says something like this?
The student council president's face flushed red.
Although her rationality told her that the possibility was not very high, she couldn't control her emotions, and all kinds of imaginations appeared in her mind …
No, no, no, stop!
Summer Night forcibly restrained herself from going berserk and turned her head away to hide her embarrassment.
"It's snowing." Seiji suddenly noticed.
Snowflakes were flying outside the window. Very quickly, the snowflakes became heavier and heavier, turning into a vast expanse of white.
"The snow is quite heavy."
Looking at Luoxue, he thought of what he had felt when he sent demons to their afterlife … His expression became somewhat sad.
"That guy got what he deserved. Those people he hurt should be able to rest in peace."
Hearing this, Summer Night was stunned for a moment, then slowly revealed a sad expression.
"I think so."
The two of them quietly watched the snow.
The faint sound of the wind and snow sounded like weeping and complaining.
…
Early in the morning.
Little Shi, Ling Yang, Mika, Chiaki, and Feng Wu arrived together at the hospital.
"Heh, I knew that you definitely wouldn't die before I beat you down!"
"What's the point of saying something like we're old enemies?"
"Because I want to say it." Chiaki chuckled as she looked around the hospital room. "This room is so luxurious. It's definitely VIP treatment. Is there a beautiful nurse that provides special services?"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I can tell from your expression that there is. Have you tried it?" Something flashed in Chiaki's eyes.
"No!"
If he really tried it, it would be terrible in all aspects.
"Chiaki, rather than joking around, you should be more concerned about Seiji's physical condition." Mika sighed.
"Just by looking at his body, it's obvious that he's fine. He doesn't have a broken arm or leg, and he doesn't have an eyeball missing or a cross-shaped scar on his face. He can sit down and talk normally, so there's no need to worry at all. "Chiaki shrugged.
"Even so, I still hope that you can seriously worry about him …" Seiji said.
"My worry only starts working at nine in the morning."
"Don't make it sound like someone's mood is that of an office worker!"
"How troublesome. Then I'll withdraw ten thousand sakuras' worth of worry."
"Don't make it sound like it's just a stock! And the amount is so subtle. "
"Then how about another ten thousand?"
"The point isn't the amount!"
After his daily retorts, a smile appeared on Seiji's face.
He recalled the conversation they had when Chiaki received a call from her ex-girlfriend and turned into a depressed girl.
The conversation just now was similar to that time, but the roles were reversed.
"Honestly, you've ruined the atmosphere in the hospital room, Chiaki."
"I think I livened up the atmosphere."
"You're quite pleased with yourself."
Seiji turned to look at everyone else.
"Brother …" Little Shi looked at him.
"I'm really fine. I just need to rest here for a few days." Seiji smiled gently.
"You're going to be hospitalized, and you're saying that you're fine?" Mika asked.
"Although I'm hospitalized, I feel like it's more like a vacation."
"This does feel like a high-class hotel room, and it would be nice to stay here for a few days." Feng Wu smiled. "Let me take care of you, Seiji … I'll definitely do a better job than the nurses, including the special services."
The blonde teacher intentionally revealed a flirtatious expression as she said the second half of her sentence.
"Juumonji-sensei, please behave yourself!" Mika retorted.
"What's a special service?" Little Ling Yang blinked in curiosity.
"A special service is a special service that can make the patient feel comfortable, such as …"
"Chiaki!"
Soon, a commotion broke out.
Seiji was delighted to see such a scene. He felt as if last night's incident had become a distant memory.
The lively visit continued for a while.
After that, Mika and the others left, while Little Shi stayed behind.
Silence returned to the hospital room. Only the sound of her peeling an apple could be heard.
Seiji looked at his adopted younger sister and admired the beautiful scene of her quietly peeling an apple.
After she finished peeling, Shika Kagura cut the apple into small pieces and brought one piece to Chiaki's mouth.
Seiji opened his mouth and ate it. 'Yep, it's pretty sweet.'
Something flashed in her eyes when she saw her adopted brother's satisfied expression, and she continued feeding him.
Seiji began to feel sleepy after he finished eating the apple.
He pressed a button to make the hospital room flat and closed his eyes to rest.
Shika Kagura quietly watched him.
When Seiji's breathing became steady and it was obvious that he had fallen asleep, she slowly reached out her hand and gently caressed his handsome face.
Her current expression would definitely leave a deep impression on anyone who saw it. Unfortunately, there was no one else here.
After a while, Shika Kagura retracted her hand and slowly moved his face closer to hers …
Outside the window, the snow that had fallen the entire night had become scattered.
The snow was silent, and it was as gentle as a lover's gaze.
Winter hadn't ended yet, and spring hadn't arrived yet, but the room … seemed to be filled with the scent of spring.
Seiji peacefully fell asleep and had a dream.
