She never expected to receive such a high evaluation .

Mika originally expected that Chiaki would be astonished, perhaps even angered, but never expected that Chiaki would think of her like this . Mika was lost on how to respond .

"I truly applaud and express my gratitude to you, Mika . "

"Eh?"

"You obtained your position through your own efforts, and created an opportunity for me as well . " Chiaki was smiling as something flashed in her eyes . "Truly, thank you... Let's leave it at that for tonight . Have a good night . "

She ended the phone call there .

Mika paused in surprise for a moment .

Although she was still rather confused, but... this type of development counted as good, right?

Chiaki mentally prepared herself after ending the conversation with Mika . Chiaki then called Seiji .

As she expected, Seiji picked up rather quickly .

"Chiaki..."

"Seiji, I know that you know already . " Chiaki repressed her own feelings of nervousness and tried to sound as casual and relaxed that she could . "You must be so busy dealing with your frustrations that you can't sleep, am I correct?"

"...Indeed . " Seiji sighed . "It's all thanks to you . "

"Ahaha, sorry . I never expected that Mika would tell you . She performed completely outside of my expectations . I feel as if I'm just getting to know her all over again . " Chiaki chuckled lightly .

Seiji didn't know what to say .

"I'd like to go over to your place and talk to you face to face... or, how about you come over to me, is that alright?" Chiaki sent him an invitation . Simultaneously, the nervousness within her was raised to the highest limit she could handle .

*Pound pound pound...* She could clearly hear the sounds of her own heartbeats . It felt as if time itself was slowing .

"Inviting a boy into your room in the middle of the night could possibly be dangerous . "

Finally, she heard him saying that after an indeterminable period of time passed . It might have been several seconds, or it might have been several minutes .

Chiaki reflexively pressed her hand against her own chest . That was because she felt that if she didn't do so, her heart would burst out of her chest!

"Having a certain boy make me drunk and then carrying me to my bed are all dangerous experiences I've had already . "

"Hey!"

"What else do I need to say? Since it's you, it'll be fine no matter what, Seiji~" Chiaki spoke in a cute voice .

Seiji fell silent for a moment .

"Honestly..." Seiji sighed . "I'll be right over . "

He then hung up the call and looked at the person sitting across from him .

Shika who was sitting across from him also looked back at him with a calm expression .

"I'm going out, right next door to Chiaki's apartment to have a discussion with her," Seiji explained .

Something flashed in Shika's eyes .

She then stood up, walked over to her adopted older brother, hugged him, and bit him right on the neck!

"Er..." Seiji felt a slightly painful and itchy sensation . "Shika-chan..."

"Awoo..." Shika bit down slightly harder, and sucked on his neck as if she was trying to draw out his blood .

Seiji didn't dare to move . It was as if he was a human who was captured by a vampire .

Shika finally let go of him . When she saw that there was an obvious mark left behind on his neck, Shika felt immensely satisfied .

She then let go of him and sat back down across from him without saying anything .

Seiji was unable to see his own neck... but even though he couldn't see his neck, he knew that there must be an obvious bite mark left behind .

"Even if you don't do such a thing, nothing will happen regardless . I'm simply going over to have a discussion with her . " Seiji smiled wryly .

Shika turned her head away .

This action of hers caused Seiji to recall that his blood-related sister Hana liked to do such an action as well... He felt like Hana and Shika were rather similar but also quite different .

"I'll be back right away... you should go to sleep first . "

Shika didn't respond .

Seiji smiled wryly once more before he stood up, put on his jacket, and exited his apartment .

When he walked outside in the chilly night over to the apartment that Chiaki rented from Nozomi, he saw that Chiaki's door was already open .

He entered without knocking and saw that the silver-haired beautiful girl was currently pouring some tea while wearing a jacket over her pajamas .

This scene was mysteriously quite moving .

Seeing that he had arrived, Chiaki brought over a cup of tea that she had poured already and smiled as she handed it to him .

"Thank you . " Seiji accepted the teacup .

"Have a seat . " Chiaki indicated towards her bed .

"I'll have a seat here instead . " Seiji sat down on a chair .

Chiaki showed an expression of dissatisfaction .

"When entering a girl's room late at night, it's common sense to sit together on her bed . "

"Where is that common sense even from!"

"It's common sense in the Wakaba domain . "

"Don't think that it will make sense just because you used the word 'domain . '"

"It's a rule in the Wakaba dimension . "

"Even if you exchange it for some amazing-sounding word, the result is still the same!"

As always, they exchanged joking comments .

"Sigh... why does it always turn out like this when I talk to Seiji?"

"Don't make it sound like it's my fault!"

"That's why I like you . " Chiaki suddenly changed her tone as she looked directly at him with a seductive expression in her eyes .

Seiji suddenly received a direct hit from this ambush, causing his heart to pound .

"I like talking with you, I like to see your face, I like sitting next to you, I like holding your hand, I like being hugged by you, I like being patted on the head by you, I like it when you care about me... I like being together with you . " Chiaki kept looking directly at him as she spoke animatedly with a blush appearing on her face . "I never imagined that I would like a boy so completely, to the extent of even imagining what it would be like if we lived together and even had a baby . "

"Chiaki..." Seiji was quite moved by all this .

"I feel as if I'm just like a girl in love from a shoujo manga . Even though I feel like this is rather strange, it doesn't feel bad at all . " Chiaki began smiling . "Still, I'm not actually a girl in love from a shoujo manga, nor am I a 'normal' girl . The future that I imagine isn't one where you and I become a typical couple or even husband and wife, but rather something similar to how we are now, a relaxing, casual, yet intimate relationship .

"I want to obtain your love, but I don't wish to be the only one for you . I don't want the heavy responsibility of being your other half . This isn't because of you; this is my own personal problem... And, I have no intentions of changing myself, because I think this is fine as well . That's why I went to talk to Natsuya Yoruhana and offered to make a deal with her . Then, I told Mika about the deal I made, and that's the current state of affairs . " Chiaki shrugged . "This wasn't something that you should have learned about so soon, but you did, so I can only tell you the truth .

"Seiji... what do you think of a girl who's as shameless as I am?" Chiaki did her very best to pretend to be calm, pushing her acting abilities to the very utmost .

Seiji looked directly at her while he slowly opened his mouth .

"Stupid . "

"Idiot . "

"Are you a fool?"

He clearly called her three synonyms that all meant that same thing .

"You're not shameless, you're just such an idiot!" He reached out his hand and flicked her forehead .

"That hurt..."

"You don't want to take responsibility, so you just want to be a mistress? Just how foolish can you be!" Seiji glared at her . "Even though you clearly know that you have a problem, you still don't intend to change and think that it's fine? That makes you even stupider!!"

"Teehee~" Chiaki clutched her forehead while she closed one eye and spat out her tongue .

"Teehee, the hell!!!"

Even though this action was very cute, he still had to retort!

Seiji sighed upon seeing how she was trying to gloss over everything by acting cute .

"You know what your own problem is . In that case, all you need to do is talk to me about it, and I'll help you . "

"I know, but that's not what I want . "

"Why?"

"Not all problems need to be solved . And even if this problem can be solved, I don't want to change," Chiaki stated in a soft voice .

"You... is that really alright?" Seiji asked with a serious expression .

"Yep, I'm certain . " Chiaki nodded with a carefree expression .

Seiji looked deeply into her eyes and was certain that she was indeed telling the truth here!

"Honestly... What should I even say about you..."

"You don't need to say anything . You only need to let me rely on you . " Chiaki suddenly smiled in a beautiful manner that naturally seemed seductive . "Please accept this unsalvageable idiot of a girl, Seiji . "
