Everyone fell silent once again.
Summer Night understood what she wanted to say.
First, she expressed her feelings, then she mentioned Shika Kagura, and then she mentioned Seiji's future … her intentions were obvious.
"I believe that President already understands what I want to say."
As if she could read Seiji's mind, Chiaki once again shared Summer Night's thoughts.
"That's why I won't continue. After all, it's quite embarrassing to say everything clearly." Chiaki paused for a moment and revealed a serious expression. "President Wanhua, what do you think about what I want to say?"
Summer Night could sense the seriousness in Chiaki's words.
If she agreed, this Wakaba Chiaki would become her helper. But if she didn't agree …
The Grand Mistress closed her eyes and silently thought about it.
The tomboy quietly waited for Seiji to speak.
...
Seiji, who was currently eating chocolate, received a phone call from an unknown number.
"Good morning. Is this Haruta Seiji -san?" A young male voice spoke up after the call connected.
"I am … may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Wanhua Aoran. I'm Summer Night's second older brother."
Seiji's expression froze over upon hearing this.
"Hello … Wanhua -san, what's the matter?"
"I originally planned to meet up with Summer Night for a chat, but she suddenly said that she had something to do and delayed the meeting." The voice on the other end chuckled. "I want to know if she went to your place."
"No, she didn't come to see me," Seiji answered.
"I see. Sorry for the sudden interruption." Aoran paused for a moment. "Haruta -san, would it be convenient for you to say something now?"
"What would Wanhua -san like to say?"
"Summer Night's marriage."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"This is a topic that I planned to discuss with her. I originally wanted to talk to her first before coming to see you, but she delayed the meeting, so I wanted to tell you first, "Aoran told him.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Of course it's because Summer Night likes you. Yesterday, on Valentine's Day, she gave you her own chocolate, didn't she? "
Seiji: "…"
"Don't tell me that you're eating right now?" Aoran suddenly asked.
"… No."
Although he was eating chocolate, it wasn't Summer Night's chocolate, but Little Shi's.
"Since you accepted my younger sister's life-bound chocolate, you have to take responsibility and get engaged to her!" The other side purposely said in a strict tone.
Seiji: "…"
"Just kidding. Although I want to say that, I don't need to go that far right away. "Aoran chuckled." Did I scare you? "
"What a great joke. I was shocked," Seiji said in a flat tone.
"I can tell from your tone that it's a lie … Forget it, let's be serious." Aoran coughed. "Haruta -san, you know that Akira Mitarai is Summer Night's engagement partner, right?"
"Yes."
"You knew this, yet you still helped her fight against Akira Mitarai, and even caused his death. Have you ever thought about what this means?"
"Akira Mitarai's death wasn't caused by us."
"Of course I know that. However, this Mitarai Family young master died in a duel against you and Summer Night … This is a serious matter. Do you understand?"
"… I understand."
"You and Summer Night were the victors, and you didn't directly kill each other. That's why trouble won't befall you. However, this doesn't mean that the two of you won't be affected at all," Aoran told him seriously.
"Summer Night has won her freedom. However, this freedom is only temporary. When the time is over, she'll still be engaged to Akira Mitarai, and it's highly likely that she won't have the chance to resist.
As for you, if you're interested in Summer Night, then you need to resolve yourself. If you don't have any intentions, then you need to distance yourself from her as soon as possible. "
Seiji fell silent.
"Think about it carefully, Haruta -san. I'll contact you again after I'm done talking to Summer Night and arrange a time to meet up. I hope that you'll be able to tell me what you think at that time. "
They ended their conversation there.
Seiji silently thought about it for a while before he contacted the Grand Mistress.
"Good morning, Summer Night."
"Good morning … Seiji."
"I just received a phone call from someone who claims to be your second brother, Wanhua Aoran …" Seiji told Aoran Aoran his phone number for confirmation.
"This is indeed my second brother … what did he say to you?"
"The general gist is that he wants me to either distance myself from you, or resolve myself."
Summer Night fell silent for a moment.
"Then … what do you intend to do?" she asked in a soft voice.
At this moment, he felt as if something was gripping his heart. His heartbeat became much louder, and he found it difficult to breathe.
"Of course I'll resolve myself." Seiji spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. "No matter what resolution I need, I'll do it."
'I definitely won't leave you!'
Summer Night felt as if she heard Seiji say this. She felt a warm sensation in her chest, causing her body to heat up and her face to burn up.
"No matter what resolution I need … is that right?" Natsuya confirmed with a gentle voice.
"Yeah, no matter what," Seiji responded in a resolute tone.
"Even if you want to marry me?"
Summer Night asked in a cute voice. She then realized that she had just said something that she didn't want to. She instantly felt embarrassed and her face flushed red.
The Grand Mistress's red face and seductive eyes caused Chiaki, who was sitting across from her, to be stunned.
Seiji was also stunned. He didn't expect that she would suddenly ask him such a question!
When Aoran joked about getting engaged earlier, he didn't think much of it. But now that he heard Summer Night say this …
Seiji couldn't help but imagine the scene in his mind. He felt that it would be wonderful … no, wonderful!
Just imagining the Grand Mistress wearing an extravagant wedding gown and smiling sweetly caused his heartbeat to speed up!!
"That … would be wonderful."
Seiji only regained his senses after blurting this out. He instantly covered his face in embarrassment.
"What I meant was that if I need that resolution, I … um … no, I actually wanted to say that I don't need that degree of resolution, but if I really need it, I'll be really excited … No, wait! I suddenly don't know how to express myself. At any rate … "
Seiji covered his burning face and gathered all the chaotic emotions in his heart into a single sentence.
"No matter what, I'll be together with you!!"
'I definitely won't leave you.
I definitely won't let you go. '
'We'll continue down this path together.'
Seiji did his very best to convey this message.
Summer Night received his heartfelt message.
She felt as if her chest was being pierced through! His body heated up even more, giving birth to a scalding feeling, as if something was melting.
Scenes of their interactions in the past flashed through her mind …
"President Wanhua, I promise that you won't be disappointed by this.
Becoming someone's Spirit-branded Retainer and fighting for someone is probably a type of romance as well.
Tell me. Although I'm not sure what I can do, I … don't want to just stand by and watch, President!
"You … are actually a gentle girl."
I want to become stronger … that's why I'll continue down this path.
Will there be any problems with hitting someone out of the window like this? "
"I believe that you, Summer Night, are exactly as I see you. You're a beautiful, gentle, and strong Grand Mistress on the outside, and not some evil girl.
Even if you think that you're using me, it doesn't matter. I'm happy to be of use.
As long as I'm different from before, my life will be more valuable than before.
We've won! "
"Thank you … Summer Night."
'I'm the one who should be thanking you.
'Thank you, Seiji.
It's wonderful that I met you and fell in love with you.
