Convincing Kamitani was much more successful than Seiji had expected.
Kamitani had a "misunderstanding" about him. It was possible to use this to convince Kamitani, but it was difficult to say if he would succeed.
Seiji had already prepared himself to try this several times. Fortunately, he succeeded on his first try. Now, what he wanted to say was …
"I want to meet with the person in charge of the attack."
Kamitani fell silent for a moment.
"That's rather difficult … Do we really have to meet? It'll be easier if we talk directly to each other. "
"We have to meet."
"Why?" Kamitani inquired.
'Because he'll only believe me if he meets Voidfire in person.' Seiji thought to himself.
However, he couldn't say that out loud.
"It'll be easier to talk in person. You don't need to worry about the specifics. You just need to help me make the arrangements. "
"You've given me an excellent mission, Haruta bro." Kamitani chuckled. "This is just within the limits of what I can help you with. Any more and I'll be crossing the line … Heh heh, I really want to know just how many things are within your calculations."
"I also want to know just how many things are within your calculations." Seiji didn't change a single word. "I can tell you everything I'm thinking about. In exchange, you can tell me everything you're planning. How about it?"
"An interesting suggestion, but it'll be boring if you really do it."
"If it's boring, then shut up and get to work!"
"Don't be so violent. I'll do my best. I just need some time."
"I'll arrange everything within three hours."
"That's quite a difficult amount of time …"
"One hour it is, then."
"That actually makes it even more difficult! My bro Haruta bro, you're such a demon. "
"I can't compare to you," Seiji stated coldly. "Cut the crap and get it done quickly. Don't play any tricks, Kamitani-kun!"
Seiji hung up after saying that.
If it was possible, Seiji would have directly killed off Kamitani in order to contribute to world peace. However, it was difficult for him to do so right now, so he decided to make use of Kamitani.
As long as he could achieve his goal, he could even make use of Kamitani's enemy.
Although he said that he would give Kamitani his friendship, there were many types of friendship as well. His "friendship" with Kamitani would definitely be different from his friendship with others.
Both sides were well aware of this.
After putting down the phone, Seiji looked at the ceiling and let out a sigh of relief.
…
Shika Kagura suddenly felt that his sworn brother had changed a little.
This sudden feeling was very subtle. She couldn't tell what had changed, but it didn't seem to be an illusion.
So she asked directly.
In the face of her question, Seiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and answered that he was fine.
Seeing his smiling face, Shika Kagura did not pursue the matter further. However, when she knew that he was not going to sleep tonight and was waiting to meet an important person, she insisted on accompanying him.
"You don't have to be like this. It's not dangerous." Seiji persuaded her to go to sleep.
"Then why don't you tell me who that person is?" Shika Kagura asked.
Seiji fell silent for a moment.
"Alright, I admit, it is a bit dangerous, but it should be fine, don't worry." He sighed.
Shika Kagura looked at him quietly.
Seiji wanted to persuade her again, but when he saw his adopted sister's expression, he was momentarily speechless.
After loading, the previous experience didn't happen to anyone else, including his "acting cute".
That scene was very important to him, but no one else had "experienced" it, which inevitably made him feel lonely.
Seiji didn't intend to repeat that scene again, because for him, his "acting cute" was already in the past, and he wouldn't express his feelings again … If he could really do it again, it would be the same as saying that he hadn't grown at all.
This was the loneliness of a time traveler, and he had to endure it.
However, being able to endure it didn't mean that he could hide it. It was likely that he unconsciously expressed his loneliness in his expression, which attracted Little Shi's attention.
After the siblings faced each other in silence for a while, Seiji spoke up again, "I'll probably be fine if I meet that person by myself, but it'll be different if I bring someone else with me. It'll be more dangerous."
"Then I'll accompany you until you leave," Shika Kagura insisted.
"I hope that you can rest well."
"I want to accompany you."
Both of them fell silent once again.
Seiji could only give up on trying to persuade her. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. Only now did he discover that he actually wished for his adopted sister's company.
There were still some remnants of her "acting cute". Seiji smiled wryly to himself.
"Thank you, Little Shi." Not only for accompanying him now, but also for saying those words to him.
"You're welcome, brother." Shika Kagura smiled faintly.
Being lonely didn't mean that one had to be lonely.
Seiji suddenly realized this as he looked at his adopted sister's smiling face. He felt as if he had seen the sun shining through the dark clouds.
Although he was lonely, he wasn't alone.
Later, Chiaki learned about this and also said that she wanted to accompany him for the night.
Although her problem had been resolved, she still stayed at Seiji's apartment and didn't move her bed back. Since Seiji couldn't just kick his girlfriend out of his apartment, he could only let her be.
"I don't know how long we'll have to wait. Are you sure you don't want to sleep?"
"Of course! How could I miss out on something as interesting as staying up late together ~"
As mentioned above, there was now one more girl accompanying him for the night.
After that, Chiaki told Mika about this, and Mika came as well. There was now one more girl accompanying him for the night.
They could even play mahjong now.
Seiji originally wanted to wait for the meeting with the higher-ups of the Messengers, but now, it seemed more like some sort of joyful activity. Seiji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
A man and three women sat around a table and faced each other in silence for several seconds.
"Let's play a game." Chiaki raised her hand and spoke.
Mika silently took out a poker card.
"Let's not play this game for now. Let's play something more interesting." Chiaki pressed down on the card.
"What do you want to play?" Seiji rested his chin on his hand as he looked at her.
"First, choose one person to be the demon. The demon can move freely, while the others can't move or make a sound. The demon that makes any person make a sound wins, while the person who makes a sound loses and will have to accept a punishment game! "Chiaki explained the rules of the game.
Seiji felt like there was a problem when he heard this. 'Are there no limits to the demon's actions?'
Meanwhile, Shika Kagura and Mika's eyes both lit up. They instantly understood the benefits of this game.
"Those in favor of playing this game, please raise your hand!" Before Seiji could say anything, Chiaki took the initiative to start a referendum by raising her hand.
Shika Kagura and Mika both silently raised their hands.
With three votes in favor, the result of the referendum was obvious.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
'This is the so-called unfairness of democracy.' Seiji commented in his mind.
"Excellent. Let's choose the demon now. Rock, paper, scissors!" Chiaki made a rock-paper-scissors pose.
Shika Kagura and Mika also made a pose.
The three girls' gazes clashed in midair, creating sparks.
Seiji's face twitched as he sensed the change in the atmosphere.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Following Chiaki's chant, the girls all attacked in unison. In an instant, the atmosphere was as sharp as a sword duel!
Chiaki lost.
She let out a blood-curdling scream like a character in a fighting game and fell.
In the second round of rock-paper-scissors, Seiji lost.
Only Shika Kagura and Mika were left facing each other. The former had a cold expression, while the latter had a determined expression.
The two of them seemed to be fighting not only for the right to be the demon, but also for the right to control the most important (female) person (female)!
After staring at each other for three seconds, the two of them attacked at the same time.
