Let's rewind time a little.
Summer Night was still in bed, unable to calm down, when she heard another knock on the door.
"Wanhua -san, may I have a word with you?" A calm voice spoke up from outside the door.
It was Shika Kagura!
Summer Night was astonished to hear this.
This astonishment caused the heat in her body to rapidly cool down, and she soon regained her ability to think.
Shika Kagura probably wanted to talk about Seiji.
She didn't expect that this girl would take the initiative to come to her … did Wakaba Chiaki do something to her?
Summer Night sat up as this thought flashed through her mind.
"Please wait for a moment."
She hurriedly made her bed, adjusted her appearance in front of the mirror, and then took a deep breath.
After finishing her preparations, she went to open the door and saw the beautiful black-haired girl standing there silently.
She had a beautiful face, a calm expression, and clear eyes that seemed to contain a hint of depth … No matter how many times she looked at her, Shika Kagura was an incredibly attractive girl.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the Reaper's Curse, her beauty alone would have made her incredibly popular.
But the special power she carried caused her to live a lonely life, until she met Seiji.
Seiji treated her as his adopted younger sister, whom he had always hated and used, and lived together with her. He truly cared for her and loved her dearly.
And it turned out that he didn't suffer any misfortune because of this, and that he was living a good life. Just as he claimed, he restrained the Reaper's Curse.
What did such an adopted older brother mean to Shika Kagura?
It was easy to imagine that Shika Kagura's feelings for Seiji couldn't be described with ordinary words!
For Seiji's sake, just thinking about what this girl would be willing to do and how far she would go was frightening.
This unfortunate girl who had been alone for a long time seemed to be lovable on the surface, but on the inside … who could imagine it?
Or rather, who had the guts to imagine it?
Summer Night understood Shika Kagura quite well, which was why she didn't know how to deal with her.
Wakaba only had limited expectations for Chiaki's "deal."
He didn't expect things to develop beyond his expectations … to the point where it had reached this stage.
"Please come in."
"Excuse me."
Summer Night invited Shika Kagura into the room and closed the door. She invited him to sit down and poured him some tea.
"Thank you." Shika Kagura took the cup and took a sip of tea.
Summer Night also picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.
After putting down the teacups, the two looked at each other.
Summer Night couldn't see anything from the other party's eyes, so she couldn't speak first. She could only wait.
"Miss Wanhua …" After staring at the Grand Mistress for a while, Shika Kagura said softly, "What do you think of Brother Seiji?"
Her tone was calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in her words, but Summer Night felt a faint sense of danger.
It was as if she was facing a calm and beautiful lake, but suddenly saw a huge, hazy shadow swimming under the lake.
Summer Night stopped herself from thinking too much and clenched her fists slightly as she looked at Shika.
"I like him … I really like him."
She liked him to the point where she lost control of herself.
After confessing her feelings, she felt her cheeks heat up, and a warm current began to flow through her body.
Shika Kagura blinked.
"Are you willing to betray your family for him?" she asked calmly.
"Eh?" Summer Night heard this and felt the warmth in her body solidify.
"Are you willing to betray the Wanhua family for Brother Seiji?" Shika Kagura asked again.
In the face of this question, Summer Night felt a chill, and the warmth in her body and face quickly faded.
"… Why do you ask?"
"Because I want to know."
The same words as before reappeared.
"Just what do you want to know?" Summer Night finally asked the question that she hadn't asked before.
"I want to know whether or not you'll harm Brother Seiji," Shika Kagura answered calmly.
'I see … as expected.'
"In the end, are you suspecting me?"
"Yes, I'm suspecting you, Wanhua -san."
Shika Kagura directly admitted this.
"I know that you have feelings for Brother Seiji, but your feelings … how much are they worth to your family and your status?"
This was a question that was almost insulting! But Summer Night found it difficult to refute this and fell silent.
"In the past … I've met all sorts of Yin Yang Masters. Compared to them, Wanhua -san is truly a good person," Shika Kagura stated calmly. "That's why Brother fell in love with you and was willing to fight for you.
But, Brother Seiji is far too gentle.
Ever since he fell in love with you, he resolved himself that it's fine even if he's being used. He doesn't care if he gets hurt. He's fearless even when risking his life. As long as it's for you, he's willing to fight at any time, no matter who his opponent is.
He's far too gentle, far too strong … even if I tell him that you're essentially the same as other Yin Yang Masters, he'll definitely only smile at me.
He believes in you.
But, I can't.
That's why I'm asking you this. "
Shika Kagura looked directly into Summer Night's eyes, as if he was trying to see her very soul.
"Wanhua Summer Night -san, just how much are your feelings worth?"
A hazy and huge black shadow emerged from the bottom of the water!
Summer Night's body froze over when faced with this question. She felt a tangible sense of fear.
Shika's expression and tone didn't change in the slightest, but she felt a tremendous sense of danger, as if her life was hanging by a thread!
It was as if an undefeatable demon was staring at her, or as if an invisible steel wire was wrapped around her neck.
In terms of power level, she should be stronger than Shika Kagura.
But for some unknown reason, she felt like she wouldn't be able to survive if Shika Kagura wanted her dead!!
Reaper's Reaper's Curse.
This unique power wasn't controlled by her own will … logically speaking, that was the case.
But what if that wasn't the case?
Was Seiji himself truly the reason why nothing had happened to him for so long?
Shika Kagura was able to control his own power … perhaps that was the truth?
If it was the latter, then even if Shika Kagura was only able to control a portion of his power, it would still be terrifying …
'Stop! Don't think about it anymore. '
Summer Night only froze for a few seconds before she forced herself to overcome the fear in her heart.
"I … don't know …" She decided to tell the truth.
"As for how much my feelings are worth … I don't know.
I'm a daughter of the Wanhua Family … I can't betray my family, even if it made me unhappy.
I was born and raised as Wanhua Summer Night. I received love, love, and education … and I became who I am now.
Whether or not I can betray my family for Seiji … Just how much my feelings are worth to my family … I really don't know! "
She truly meant it.
Shika Kagura confirmed this as he stared directly at her.
"That's not the answer I wanted," she said in a soft voice.
This caused Summer Night's heart to clench.
"But … I suppose it's fine." Shika Kagura retracted his gaze and slowly picked up his teacup, sipping on some more tea.
She slowly drank all the tea in her cup before slowly putting it down.
"Brother Seiji has a problem as well … so perhaps someone like you is just right."
Summer Night blinked upon hearing this.
"Kagura-san …"
"Just call me 'younger sister' from now on." Shika Kagura stood up with something flashing in her eyes. "I'll always be watching over you, Wanhua … Sister."
After saying this, she turned around and left.
Summer Night continued sitting there in a daze even after Shika left the room.
* Clang! *
Suddenly, there was a sound.
Summer Night was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw that it was from Shika Kagura's teacup … and there was a crack on it!
The Wanhua Family's Grand Mistress felt a deep chill as she looked at the crack that she didn't know how.
"Kagura … younger sister," she muttered to herself.
After taking some time to calm down, she impulsively took out her cell phone and made a call.
