After lunch, the two of them went to a souvenir shop and bought a pair of limited edition mugs.
Then, they went to the 340th floor. This was the glass floor that Seiji had mentioned when he was walking down the Sky Corridor. The difference in height of several hundred meters was truly frightening.
Chiaki's legs turned to jelly when she saw it. She hugged Seiji tightly and didn't let go. Seiji didn't know how much of it was real and how much of it was just an act. At any rate, Seiji was quite happy being intimate with his girlfriend.
After seeing the scenic spots on the tower, there was a large shopping mall at the bottom of the tower.
The two of them walked around, bought some things, and then took a bus home.
On the way, Chiaki leaned against Seiji, held his hand, and closed her eyes to rest.
She felt reassured by his body and warmth.
…
Today, Genji, Hoshi, Mika, Feng Wu, and Kaori were in Kazuko's Domain.
Tomohisa and Mayuzumi both needed work and couldn't come here every day.
Compared to yesterday, there were two less team members. Seiji rearranged the team's formation and tactics.
After the strategy meeting, everyone changed into their combat uniforms and prepared themselves. They then entered the domain and began fighting.
Seiji didn't have Kazuko lower the difficulty of the domain. So, everyone could obviously feel the pressure from Tomohisa and Mayuzumi's absence.
They understood why their team leader did this. He wanted to do his best to make up for his two companions' absence.
Apart from not lowering the difficulty, Seiji also intentionally reduced the number of attacks he used so that his team members could take some damage.
It wasn't that he wanted his companions to be injured. He wanted to stimulate their growth. Blindly protecting them and not letting them receive any damage would be the same as raising flowers.
Everyone understood this as well, so they didn't complain. They all gritted their teeth and did their best to fight.
The effects were unexpectedly great. Genji, Hoshi, and Feng Wu all learned new defensive skills! Their defensive abilities were greatly improved.
This was especially true for Feng Wu. Not only could her skill protect herself, but it could also protect her companions within a certain range. However, she had to stand on the ground and be unable to move.
Even with such a restriction, it was still an outstanding ability. Moreover, if the skill was upgraded in the future, there was a possibility that the restriction would be removed.
Seiji was happy for his companions' rapid growth, but he was also happy for the harvest of Crystals.
Twenty-nine ordinary Sakura Crystals, seventeen "General" Sakura Crystals, one "King" Sakura Crystal, and three Tree Monster Crystals … Although it wasn't as much as yesterday, it was still quite a lot.
Just like the day before, Seiji tried to clear the dungeon on his own for the second time. In the end, he only picked up a General Samurai Crystal.
"From the looks of it, monsters will only appear more often during the first raid of the day," Seiji concluded.
"If we wait a few days, will there be more monsters appearing? Will increasing the difficulty of the domain increase the number or quality of the monsters that drop? "he asked.
"I don't know … we'll only know after we try." Kazuko adjusted her eyeglasses while floating in midair.
"Please be more reliable, Lord Domain Controller."
"I'm really sorry for not being reliable enough. I'll write '* * *' on my forehead as an apology."
"Don't write! I was just joking. It's already good enough that monsters drop. I shouldn't have asked for more from you. "
"You can ask for more from me, such as having me write 'use as you please' on my thighs …"
"Of course not!"
Then, Seiji brought the crystals back to his room, along with the leftovers from yesterday. He opened up his system and chose [Furniture].
The floor, walls, and ceiling … he decided to choose Sakura Island furniture.
As for the light source, he chose a lantern. A table was a must, but there was no need for a cushion for now. Tatami mats would suffice …
Seiji had used up most of his crystals just by exchanging for the most basic items.
Decorating his Spirit House was also a scam … but the most important thing was the income. As long as he had such an income of crystals every day, he would have everything he needed!
…
Later that night, Seiji and Chiaki drank together.
Chiaki wanted to drink together in her room, but Seiji refused.
With their current relationship, it was highly likely that something would happen if they drank together in the same room. That was why Seiji insisted on drinking in his own living room.
In order to not disturb the elementary school girls, he had Feng Wu take Ling Yang to her room.
Mika wouldn't disturb them, and Little Shi would stay in her own room. But if there were any excessive movements, Mika would definitely appear.
"Honestly, you're actually using Kagura-san as a sluice gate."
"Although it's embarrassing, it's necessary, because I don't have the confidence to control myself after drinking."
"As long as you want to, you'll be able to control yourself, just like back then."
"Don't pretend to be an idiot. You know it's different now."
"Heehee ~"
Chiaki raised her glass. Seiji raised his glass as well.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers."
The wine glasses clinked together, and the wine swirled.
Drinking the wine in one's glass while inhaling the rich aroma of the wine was truly a joyous event in life.
"So comfortable ~ ~" Chiaki exclaimed. Her tone sounded like that of an uncle.
"You're acting like an uncle," Seiji commented.
"That's too much! I'm an invincible young beauty ~ "
"Invincible is so lonely."
"I'm an eternal young beauty ~"
"There's no eternity in royalty, child."
"I'm an eternal seventeen-year-old beautiful girl ~"
"Nobody can be seventeen forever, but there will always be someone who is seventeen."
"Pfft ~ Where did you learn that from?"
"I don't remember."
The two of them casually chatted, pouring wine, drinking wine, and chatting as they drank.
"How's the feeling of being spied on? Have there been any changes? "Seiji asked after downing a bottle of wine.
"It's fine … don't mind it too much." Chiaki waved her hand.
"Your expression doesn't say that it's fine." Seiji looked directly at her. "The situation hasn't changed, has it?"
"… Although it hasn't gotten better, it hasn't gotten worse either. It should be fine after a while, such as after that Realm of Cherry Blossoms ends." Chiaki swirled her wine glass slightly.
"It's the Realm of Cherry Blossoms, Spirit One." Seiji paused for a moment. "It's possible that you were affected by the Realm of Cherry Blossoms, but you already had that strange feeling before the cherry blossoms appeared."
"Perhaps it really was just my imagination."
"It's been going on for so long, I don't think it's just my imagination … I think I should take you to the Wanhua family's hospital for a checkup."
"There's no need …"
"No, there's a need," Seiji spoke in a serious tone.
"Thank you." Something flashed in Chiaki's eyes.
"There's no need to thank me."
"You're clearly busy preparing to deal with the threat to the city, yet you're still taking the time to care about my small matter …"
"This isn't a small matter; it's an important matter related to my girlfriend!"
"She's just one of your girlfriends."
Seiji instantly widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing this.
"I'm sorry …" Chiaki realized that she said something wrong and lowered her head in apology.
Seiji's expression softened upon seeing her like this. He then pulled her into his arms and hugged her gently.
"I'm sorry," Chiaki apologized again.
"Don't say it. It's my fault in the end." Seiji spoke softly. "You're indeed just one of my girlfriends, but don't forget that I care about you very much, and I've always been concerned about you."
"Mmm …" Chiaki's eyes were watery as she leaned into his arms, her expression as gentle as a kitten's.
She succeeded in acting coquettishly. She was so happy ~
At this moment, Seiji smiled as he recalled what he had said to her in the past.
"Even if I'm busy saving the world, I'll still make time for you."
