As if hearing Seiji's comment, another notification popped up. He could pay more points or use more Inner World Crystals to forcefully open the door.
That was more like it!
By the way, wasn't this taking advantage of the situation? Forget it, Seiji decided not to care too much about it.
Seiji chose to use several more crystals to forcefully open the door to his Spirit House!
A gray crack appeared in midair and then slowly opened. The speed at which it opened was much slower than normal, and it seemed rather difficult.
The black-haired girl finished putting on her clothes and came out.
"Brother …"
"Little Shi, go find Mika and the others and call all of them here!" Seiji instructed.
Shika Kagura glanced at Ling Yang, nodded, and walked towards the door.
After the door to his Spirit House opened, Seiji had Ling Yang enter first. He then took out his cell phone to contact the others.
Actually, he really wanted to call Yui to ask about the situation, but it was likely that she wouldn't be able to reach him.
"An abnormal situation has occurred! Pay attention to the white mist … "
Seiji speedily wrote a message. However, his cell phone rang before he could finish.
It was a call from Genji.
"Seiji, I saw white mist …"
Seiji heard her report the moment he picked up.
"I saw it as well. I don't know what's happening right now, but I know that the situation might be quite dangerous." Seiji paused for a moment. "If the situation becomes bad, go to Summer Night's place. I'll go there as well …"
After he finished talking to Genji, his cell phone rang again.
At this moment, the door to his room was pushed open. Mika and Nozomi had arrived together.
"Seiji, Mom says that it's really cold …"
It seemed that Mika had just come out of the bathroom as well. Her hair wasn't tied up yet, and she had a worried expression on her face.
Nozomi was hugging herself with a pale face and shivering all over as if she was in an incredibly cold environment.
Was she having the same reaction as Ling Yang?
"Hurry and take her inside!" Seiji immediately indicated for Nozomi to enter his Spirit House.
Mika obeyed and took her mother to the door to his Spirit House.
"What … is this?" Nozomi couldn't help but ask after seeing this mystical dimensional portal for the first time.
"This is a Spirit House … a special space." Mika had her mother enter the Spirit House first while she followed behind.
Seiji picked up the second call. It was from Summer Night.
"Seiji, did you see that?"
"I saw the white fog."
"It's not just the white fog, there's also light … If you go outside and look to the north, you should be able to see it!"
"The north …" Seiji wanted to go out and take a look, but the door to his Spirit House would automatically close if he left. "It's inconvenient for me to move around right now. What's in the north?"
At the same time, outside the house.
Shika Kagura, Chiaki, and Feng Wu all looked in the same direction.
In the direction they were looking, there was light.
The incomparably huge bright red pillar of light was rising from the bottom, so large that skyscrapers would pale in comparison. Its height had reached at least 600 to 700 meters, and it was still rising, as if it was going to rise into the sky just like that!
The three of them felt a sense of danger as they looked at the giant pillar of light.
Although they didn't know what it was, they instinctively sensed that it was something bad … or rather, an ominous phenomenon!
'I need to immediately tell Brother Seiji.'
Shika Kagura thought to himself. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw that the top of the giant pillar of light suddenly expanded explosively. The entire pillar began to change shape, just as if it was a stone that was being rapidly carved into a specific shape.
It was a tree!
Shika Kagura and the others soon noticed that the pillar of light was rapidly transforming into the shape of a tree — a gigantic, blood-red, and beautiful cherry blossom tree!!
The crown of the tree expanded in the sky, rapidly covering the entire sky like dark clouds. The scene was both beautiful and majestic, causing everyone to gape in astonishment.
Right after that, countless flower petals began falling from the sky like rain or snow. It was an incredibly beautiful sight!
However, Shika Kagura and the others all felt a bone-piercing chill.
This was especially true for Chiaki. She instantly recalled her experience in her dream and felt a deep sense of fear.
"The Evil White Goddess …" she muttered to herself.
The final boss of the Realm of Cherry Blossoms that was hostile towards humans had finally appeared.
"Hurry and leave!" Shika Kagura told them.
She felt that it would be dangerous if they were touched by those bright red flower petals.
The three of them hurriedly moved.
After returning home, Shika Kagura speedily explained the situation to his adopted older brother.
"Let's go to the Spirit House!" Seiji indicated.
The three of them entered the Spirit House one after another.
Then, their cell phone communication was cut off. Their cell phone had no signal, and the lights inside the Spirit House started flashing. One second later, the lights suddenly dimmed.
Seiji was now in darkness, and all he could see was a dense white mist. He felt like he was surrounded by an icy chill.
His system notified him that the door to the Spirit House was about to close!
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes as he stepped into the Spirit House at the very last moment.
Outside, red cherry blossoms fell from the sky, white mist filled the air, and the entire city fell into darkness …
…
Ling Yang and Nozomi were fine.
After entering the Spirit House, they no longer felt cold, nor did they feel any discomfort.
They were safe inside the Spirit House and wouldn't be affected by any abnormal environment.
After confirming the situation, Seiji tried to open the door. However, his system informed him that there was a powerful external interference. If he wanted to open the door before this external interference was gone, he would need to use 100 Psionic Energy points! He could either use 999 points or 99 Inner World Crystals to upgrade the door to the Spirit House!!
Seiji paused in surprise at this system notification.
Just opening the door required 100 Psionic Energy points, or a large number of points and crystals to upgrade the dimensional door … this "powerful external interference" was truly powerful.
He only had less than 300 Psionic Energy points left. He shouldn't have used up 100 Psionic Energy points just like that. If he used [Temporary Charge] to obtain temporary Psionic Energy, that would use up all his Mana, which would be detrimental to his future plans.
After some consideration, Seiji decided to use 99 Inner World Crystals to upgrade the dimensional door!
It was quite painful to use up so many Inner World Crystals at once. But, this was still the construction of a Spirit House, which was the same concept as constructing a room.
Before this, there hadn't been an option to upgrade the door to the Spirit House … Judging from the number of Inner World Crystals required to upgrade the door, this was probably an option to upgrade the door. Seiji figured that this would count as being done ahead of time.
He decided to use up all the Inner World Crystals in his storage to upgrade the door. His system then displayed a notification. [The door to the Spirit House is currently being upgraded. Completion rate: 0%.]
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the notification.
Upgrading the door would take time, and he was quite worried about Summer Night and the others. He wanted to leave as soon as possible.
System, can't you speed up the upgrade process?
Dating sim system: "We're already in the early stages of construction. You still want to hurry up? Impossible!"
Seiji: "I can pay you more."
Dating sim system: "This isn't a matter of money! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have money. "
Since he couldn't speed up the upgrade process, he could only wait. Seiji sighed.
"We can't leave for now. We'll have to stay here for a while," he told Little Shi and the others.
"Why can't we leave?" Chiaki inquired.
"Because the door to the Spirit House is being interfered with …" Seiji explained.
"What's the situation outside right now?" Mika asked.
"I don't know either. But I'm certain that … things aren't looking good." Seiji sighed.
'Perhaps I should have stayed outside just now.' That was what he was currently thinking.
"I hope that everyone is fine …"
