Of course, Seiji answered yes to this question.
The three of them then arrived at his apartment.
There was no one in his living room. Little Ling Yang and Feng Wu left together, while Little Shi stayed in his room.
Mika and Chiaki sat down. Seiji brewed some tea, brought out some desserts, and then waited.
Seiji's cell phone rang again.
"I'm here. Can you come out for a moment?"
This was the only thing Seiji heard when he picked up the call.
After telling Mika and Chiaki that he was coming out, he opened the door and immediately saw Yui Haruta standing in front of his apartment.
Today, she was wearing a black windbreaker. The black-haired, black-clothed beauty seemed extraordinarily charismatic under the sunlight.
"Sister Yui …" Seiji walked up to her.
"Follow me." Yui turned around and left.
Seiji reflexively followed after her.
Yui walked over to a black luxury car parked near his apartment and got in.
Seiji also got in the car and closed the door.
"I still have something to do later, so I can only talk to you here."
"Why didn't you come into my apartment?"
"To be cautious." Yui looked directly at his face. "Seiji … did you enter an Inner World last night?"
Seiji's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.
"Yes. Sister Yui, how did you know? "
Something flashed in Yui's eyes as she didn't respond.
Those two strange individuals had told her. This was the most logical possibility that Seiji could think of.
Those two were related to Yui … were they both members of Soul World …?
Were the minotaurs intentionally causing trouble for him because of Yui?
"Sister Yui …"
"It's good that you're alright. Don't tell anyone about this. "Yui immediately ended the conversation before Seiji could say anything else.
"The main thing I wanted to tell you was this." She took out a red card that resembled a bank card. There were mysterious white runes on it.
"What's this?"
"A participation card for the Bloodwine Ritual tournament."
"A participation card …" Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.
"Do you know about the Bloodwine Ritual tournament?"
"I do."
"Then I won't explain any further." Yui handed him the red card. "Use your Mana to activate this card. Sign your name together with your Spirit-branded Retainer, and you may participate in the battle."
"Why do you want me to fight?"
"Because it's good for me."
"What benefits?" Seiji looked at her.
"You don't need to know that." "All you need to know is that this will be very beneficial to you as well … If you win, you'll be able to greatly increase your power level."
Seiji's eyes flickered as he took the card.
"Do you have a Shikigami now?"
"There's … one."
"One is enough. Just treat it as a trial and work hard together with your Spirit-branded Retainer to win. "
After saying this, Yui indicated that the conversation was over.
Seiji got out of the car, and the car drove away.
He watched the car drive away, then looked at the card in his hand.
"What did she give you?" As footsteps approached, Chiaki spoke up.
"A participation card … let's talk about it when we get back." Seiji put away the card and spoke to Chiaki and Mika as he returned to his apartment.
"Your sister didn't even enter your apartment. Is it because she thinks that this place is too low-class?" Chiaki inquired.
"I'm so sorry for being low-class!" As the landlord's daughter, Mika was rather annoyed.
"No, it's just that it's safer to talk in the car."
"Did you guys talk about something highly confidential? No … forget that I asked. "Chiaki tried to restrain herself.
The three of them returned to their apartment.
Seiji took out a red card and placed it on the table.
"This is a participation card for the Bloodwine Ritual tournament. Sister Yui told me to use this to participate in the tournament."
"Why did she tell you to participate?"
"She didn't say the specific reason. She only said that it would be beneficial to her."
"What benefits could she possibly gain from having her younger brother participate in a fighting tournament?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Logically speaking, the two of you are currently on opposing sides. Seiji, the more outstanding your performance is, the more your sister will lose face." Chiaki adjusted her nonexistent eyeglasses. "Yet, she told you to participate in a fighting tournament type event, saying that it would be beneficial to you. That's quite strange."
"Could she be lying? Actually, it won't be beneficial to her at all, but she intentionally said that … in order to prevent Seiji from feeling that he owes her a favor, "Mika speculated.
"May I ask how likely it is?" Chiaki looked at Seiji Mukai.
"About fifty percent," Seiji answered.
Yui was indeed a tsundere.
"That's half the possibility. The other half is that it would indeed be beneficial …" Chiaki acted like a famous detective. "The benefit of making yourself lose face … I'd boldly speculate that it would be a trap!"
"Trap?"
"Yeah. When a person loses face, they'll be happy for those who don't like them, or their enemies. "Something flashed in Chiaki's eyes.
"Yui Haruta's enemies would be happy for her to lose face, so they'll take some action. That's what she hopes for.
That's to say, she wants to use this method to incite her enemies so that they'll fall into her trap! "
That sounded quite logical … she was probably pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Seiji and Mika both applauded Chiaki's excellent deduction.
The famous detective Chiaki smiled and bowed in greeting.
"If my deduction is correct, then Seiji, if you win the fighting tournament … I mean, the Bloodwine Ritual tournament, perhaps you'll be of great help to your sister," the tomboy continued.
"That's because one possibility is that her enemies will find you and want to use you against her.
In that case, you can pretend to cooperate on the surface while secretly contacting your sister and plotting against her enemies together! "
This … was quite an excellent plot.
Seiji couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he helped Yui defeat her enemies and received her sincere gratitude.
Excellent!
Just imagining it was wonderful. If that really happened, it would be a major step towards restoring his family.
For the sake of this possibility, he absolutely had to win the Bloodwine Ritual tournament!
On one side was Summer Night, and on the other side was Yui. These two people were the motivation to win. In fact, they were a little too much motivation.
For the sake of his best girlfriend and sister, he would defeat all his opponents and become the final victor, obtaining the glory of being king!
"I've told you several times already not to randomly add narration for me."
"I'm not randomly adding narration. That's what your eyes tell me."
"My eyes … Fine, you're right this time," Seiji admitted.
Chiaki smiled proudly as she looked in a certain direction.
"Please call me the extra narration from now on!"
"Who are you talking to?"
"The readers of this light novel."
"Don't randomly give yourself a position."
"You're actually not commenting that this world is a novel?"
"I'm tired."
"Don't be lazy at such a critical moment!"
Mika calmly observed the two of them. She poured some tea for herself and took a sip before looking at the red card on the table.
"This … participation card, how do I use it?" she asked.
"It says that it's activated with Mana. All I need to do is sign it with my Spirit-branded Retainer." Seiji picked up the card.
Right after he said this, he heard familiar footsteps.
Shika Kagura walked into the living room and looked at Mika and Chiaki.
Mika and Chiaki also looked at her.
