After the meeting ended and everyone left, Seiji had Little Shi take Shinobu to the underground practice field to exercise.
He and Summer Night were the only ones left in the living room. The two of them quietly sipped tea.
"I've decided to join Soul Society." Summer Night spoke up as she looked at her boyfriend. "I wouldn't have made this decision without your encouragement. So, you need to take responsibility."
Seiji blinked and smiled when he noticed that Natsuya's tone was somewhat coquettish.
"Alright, how should I take responsibility?"
"If I'm abandoned by my family, you need to take me in."
"I'd be more than happy to … in fact, you could say that I couldn't ask for more!"
Summer Night rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm not hoping that you'll be abandoned by your family, but that's what I really mean." Seiji chuckled before retracting his smile. "But, will it really come to that?"
"It's possible, but the possibility is quite low." Summer Night paused for a moment. "I think that my family is more likely to forcefully make me return to my family, watch me, and forbid me from doing anything for Soul Society."
"Then what should I do?"
"I'll ask Soul Society for help … If they truly value my ability rather than my status, then they'll probably help me convince my family."
With Soul Society's power, it would be completely possible for them to "convince" the Wanhua Family. The problem was how much they valued Summer Night. Or, perhaps the Wanhua Family didn't want Summer Night to join Soul Society to a certain extent.
Seiji thought about it for a moment.
"Will there be a need for a fight?"
"Perhaps."
"Remember to call me when the time comes."
"Of course, that's your responsibility." Summer Night gave him a sidelong glance.
Then, she got up and sat down next to him.
"I feel like I've become a bad person … it's all your fault."
"I'm truly sorry, then."
Seiji pulled her into his arms and gently caressed her hair.
The Grand Mistress felt comfortable and closed her eyes slightly.
She had just come to this decision after watching the knight order's meeting.
Seiji's encouragement and her own will were all reasons … and the choices made by the knights and the potential possessed by the Awakened pushed her to make up her mind.
Even if doing so would lead to worse consequences, such as being abandoned by her family, she would still have Seiji to rely on. She could consider contributing to the development of his team as the value of her life in the future.
Of course, this kind of thing would basically not happen, but if he angered his family, his situation would definitely worsen.
Summer Night didn't want to betray her family, but she had her own ideas.
She felt that Seiji was right. Being loyal to the Wanhua family did not mean that one had to be bound.
Soul Society … Seiji and his knight order … She felt that these two were the future.
The decision had been made. What he needed to do next was to walk down this path with determination.
Lifting her chin, Summer Night saw Seiji looking at her affectionately. Realizing what he wanted to do, her body heated up and she closed her eyes.
He would think about the future in the future. Right now, he should just enjoy this moment.
…
For the next few days, Seiji stayed in his study and focused on writing the second volume of Brother Monogatari.
He was completely immersed in writing as he continuously typed on his keyboard.
It was as if he had returned to the very beginning, where he didn't need to care about anything else or think about anything else. He could focus solely on writing.
Finally, he finished writing the final period.
After he finished writing, Seiji sighed as he looked at the completed manuscript.
He recalled the scene when he finished writing the first volume. He smiled as he recalled how he felt at that time.
After checking that there were no mistakes, he got up and went to look for Little Shi.
Shika Kagura was currently putting away some clothes to dry.
She was wearing a simple dress as she put away her clothes under the sun. She seemed like a beauty that was filled with the aura of everyday life.
Seiji had seen such a beautiful scene many times already, but he wasn't tired of it at all. Now that he saw it, he suddenly wanted to appreciate it, so he didn't walk over. Instead, he quietly watched.
"Brother?" Shika noticed his gaze and used her expression to ask him what was the matter.
"I finished writing the second volume. I wanted you to take a look." Seiji smiled.
Shika Kagura's eyes lit up as she quickened her pace.
After quickly putting away the clothes, she sat down in front of her computer and immersed herself in reading her light novel.
Seiji continued to observe her from the side.
What was Brother Monogatari? It was a light novel that would bring him a large amount of rewards. But, more importantly, it was a connection between him and his adopted younger sister.
The scene from back then was still fresh in his mind. Compared to back then, Shika Kagura had changed quite a bit.
She was taller, her figure was better, and she was even more beautiful … Because they were living together, Seiji didn't have such an obvious impression of her. It was only when he recalled back then that he noticed that she was becoming more and more beautiful.
Of course, her physical growth was something to be happy about. But, what made him even happier was the change in her temperament.
Seiji didn't know how to describe the specific change, nor did he want to say it. It was fine as long as he could feel it.
Brother Monogatari was a story that had appeared because of Little Shi. That was his original intention.
Rewards were important. He still lacked points, and the danger was approaching. He urgently needed income. However, this story was definitely not created for the sake of points.
Seiji poured some tea for himself as well as for Little Shi. He placed the teacups on the table and moved a chair over to sit next to her.
Then, he allowed time to pass quietly.
Shika Kagura continued reading until it was time for dinner.
Seiji cooked with Feng Wu as his assistant. Now, she and Chiaki were basically eating three meals a day at this restaurant, taking turns cooking.
After dinner, Chiaki washed the dishes. Feng Wu and Ling Yang played a video game together.
Seiji asked Little Shi about her idea for the third volume. She took out her notebook and showed him the content.
The keyword for the third volume was "cluster amaryllis flowers."
The story's style remained the same. It still had the same mysterious and romantic atmosphere.
A female side character who appeared in both the first and second volumes revealed her true identity as a Yin Yang Master.
She offered to help under the pretense of cooperating with the investigation. However, the "adopted younger sister" believed that her true goal was to control her "adopted older brother" and make him her Spirit-branded Retainer, a tool for battle!
The "adopted younger sister" warned her "adopted brother." However, the latter had a favorable impression of this Yin Yang Master due to the latter's help, and ignored her warning.
The two of them became estranged from each other, to the point where they had a quarrel over it. During the quarrel, they revealed some secrets that further revealed their identities and relationship.
At this time, the Yin Yang Master contacted Seiji and said that she had discovered a highly suspicious location. She requested to investigate together with her "adopted brother."
Her "adopted brother" agreed. The "adopted younger sister" believed that this was a trap and strongly opposed it. However, the "adopted brother" still chose to go.
The "adopted sister" was quite angry, but she couldn't let go of her "adopted brother." So, she went to find a female demon slayer from the previous volume and requested to go with her.
However, she encountered the Yin Yang Master's Spirit-branded Retainer and was captured!
So, the Yin Yang Master's true goal wasn't the "adopted brother" at all, but the "adopted younger sister"! She was also the one who caused this incident in order to distract her "adopted brother."
When the "adopted sister" questioned her why, the Yin Yang Master's answer was "to bring my younger sister back."
Then, she was about to use the cluster amaryllis flower to open the door to the Underworld. At this moment, the demon slayer suddenly appeared. So, she had been eyeing this Yin Yang Master for a long time, and wanted to steal the cluster amaryllis flower!
The two of them engaged in a fierce battle. The "adopted sister" witnessed their fierce battle. She also attempted to escape, but failed.
The cluster amaryllis flower was about to go out of control due to the two of them fighting. At this moment, her "adopted brother" appeared and destroyed the cluster amaryllis flower with all his might!
He had listened to his "adopted sister's" warning and didn't fall into the Yin Yang Master's trap. That was how he managed to return in time.
"Give my younger sister back …" The Yin Yang Master cried at her "adopted brother."
"Sorry, that's impossible," the "adopted brother" replied coldly. He then looked towards his "adopted sister" with a complex expression.
The third volume ended here. Just like the previous two volumes, there was still a lot of suspense.
