Did I see wrongly?
He was probably not mistaken. Summer Night was certain.
As for what that smile meant, she was not sure. Although the other party's expression made her feel a little uncomfortable, she was more surprised.
"What's wrong, Summer Night?" Seiji asked when he saw the change in Grand Mistress's expression.
"It's nothing …" Summer Night didn't intend to pursue the matter any further and retracted her gaze.
After that, the three of them went to the spellcasting room.
Shika Kagura walked to the center of the Taiji diagram and looked at Seiji.
Seiji was also looking at her.
Looking at each other, the two of them smiled gently, showing that their minds were connected.
Summer Night, who was watching from the side, felt even worse.
The ceremony began.
"Please answer me, what is your name?"
"Shika Kagura."
"Are you willing to sign a contract with me under the witness of the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the Black Tortoise of the North, and the Yellow Dragon of the Center?"
"I'm willing." The girl's eyes flickered as she replied in a calm voice filled with deep emotions.
"With my blood as the witness and my seal as the guide, I summon the spirits of heaven and earth to add to your body, to become your power, to fight for me …"
Seiji solemnly chanted an incantation and cast a summoning spell.
A powerful existence with the power of ice approached Little Shi, and the two of them immediately accepted each other.
"Spirit Descend! Spirit-branded Retainer Summon!! It's an urgent order!!! "
The cold energy entered Little Shi's body!
For a moment, Seiji seemed to hear a distant song. It felt cold and passionate, and he saw the snow-white background of the world. He also saw a white-clothed, blue-haired girl looking back at him with a sweet smile.
"… I finally get to see you …" The girl said faintly.
Seiji felt as though he had suffered a heavy blow! Countless scenes flashed through his mind, and he heard countless voices. Then, he felt a violent dizziness, and he felt as if he had turned into chaos …
"Seiji!?"
Natsuya's voice jolted him back to his senses.
His head was a little dizzy, and he found himself half-kneeling on the ground.
What happened? Questions surfaced in Seiji's mind.
"What's wrong?" Summer Night asked with concern.
She had seen him tremble and kneel down as though he had been attacked, but her Spirit Vision didn't detect anything abnormal.
"I … suddenly feel a little dizzy." Seiji rubbed his head.
Did something go wrong with the ritual? He hurriedly looked at the other side and saw his sworn sister standing there quietly with her eyes closed.
"Little Shi!" Seiji stood up and walked over.
Shika Kagura slowly opened his eyes and looked at his face.
"Are you okay?" Seiji asked worriedly.
Shika Kagura didn't answer. Her fair face quickly turned red.
"Uh-huh ~"
She let out a coquettish sound and threw herself into his arms!
Seiji: "…"
It seemed that what he had expected had happened — the side effect of strengthening his spiritual power!
Shika Kagura hugged him tightly and rubbed her face against him. She kept making coquettish sounds, just like a kitten acting coquettishly.
They had agreed beforehand that Summer Night would take care of Little Shi in her current state, but she still didn't seem to have any intention of letting go.
Seiji could only endure the Grand Mistress's cold gaze as he hugged his adopted sister, who was acting strangely, and waited for her to calm down.
Summer Night didn't want to watch this scene from the sidelines, but if she walked away now, she would feel like she had lost. So, she simply stood where she was and watched coldly.
He felt incredibly warm as he hugged Shika, who seemed like a "mana buff." It felt really cold to be under Summer Night's gaze on his back.
Was this a combination of ice and fire?
Seiji didn't know what expression he currently had as he felt this "sour" sensation.
After a while, Shika Kagura finally calmed down.
She slowly let go of him and shyly lowered her head.
"Are you alright now?" Seiji asked cautiously.
"I'm fine …" she answered in a soft voice.
"Seiji, you just said that you felt a little dizzy. How do you feel now?" Summer Night asked.
"I feel fine now." Seiji turned towards her and rubbed his head. "I don't feel dizzy at all anymore."
"What exactly happened just now?"
"My head suddenly felt dizzy, and then I discovered that I was kneeling on the ground."
"Perhaps your Spiritual Power is still rather unstable." Summer Night looked directly at him. "Although I can't tell what's wrong with you, just in case, you should go to the hospital for a checkup later."
Seiji nodded before looking back at his adopted sister.
Shika Kagura lifted her head slightly. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes were seductive. She was giving off a faint aura of gentleness.
It was as if she had experienced … No, no! What was he thinking about! Just now, her Spiritual Power had only strengthened her. Apart from that, there was nothing else!!
Seiji forcefully stopped his delusions.
"Little Shi, what's your bonded spirit?" he asked.
"Snow Girl."
"As expected of a Snow Girl."
"Her name is Shelley."
"Shelley …" A subtle feeling arose in Seiji's heart when he heard this. "Who gave her that name?"
"She didn't say," Shika Kagura answered.
A Snow Girl named Shelley … Seiji was rather curious about this, but he didn't know why he was curious.
'Forget it, I won't think too much about it.'
"The ritual was basically successful … thank you for becoming my Spirit-branded Retainer, Little Shi." Seiji smiled.
"Thank you for accepting me as your Spirit-branded Retainer, Brother Seiji."
Shika Kagura responded with a smile that was filled with gentleness and deep love. It was incredibly beautiful.
…
Later that night, when he estimated that Little Shi was already in bed, Seiji opened up his system and checked his Spirit-branded Retainer Contract.
"Shika Kagura" was displayed as a "Contract already signed," which fulfilled the requirements for a [Binding Contract].
Once a [Binding Contract] was signed, Little Shi's Spiritual Power stat would be reduced to 10 points. She would receive an increase in power and growth rate that far exceeded the normal contract conditions, and she would also awaken new abilities!
There were so many benefits that he absolutely needed to use it.
However, Seiji felt that it was highly likely that Little Shi would be strengthened by this contract and experience the same strange feeling as when she formed a Spirit-branded Retainer Contract, or even stronger.
That was why he only did this after she returned to her room and estimated that she was already in bed.
"I'm sorry, Little Shi, please bear with it for a while."
Feeling apologetic towards his adopted younger sister, Seiji chose [Confirm] and signed the [Binding Contract]!
The next instant, Shika Kagura suddenly received an impact!
"Mmm ~ ~ ~" She couldn't help but moan.
This was the third time.
The first time was when he signed the contract, the second time was when he was taking a bath, and now it was the third time … this feeling was even stronger than the previous two times combined!!
Shika Kagura covered her mouth with her blanket and did her best to not scream. However, the warmth within her body became even stronger, and her entire body felt numb as if electricity was passing through it. An indescribable sense of comfort kept increasing …
'No … no … it's too intense …'
All these thoughts flashed through her mind as her mind gradually went blank. She didn't know where she was or what she was doing. She could only feel herself continuously rising, soaring, ascending … entering a glorious realm filled with light.
'Wonderful …'
