Chapter 370: Can I Call You Seigo Senpai?
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: vb24
There was a mont of silence in Hiroto's study.
"Could she be a relative of so sort?" Seiji tried posing a question.
"I think so as well." Hiroto nodded. "If I tried to continue investigating, that's a good place to start from, but I think there's no more need. She canceled her cell phone number, and her na and identity were obviously fake. She pretended to be soone who had died ten years ago… No matter who this girl is, that's more than enough for to forbid my son from going out with her again.
"I deleted her cell phone number and picture from my son's cell phone and told him that she was a scamr who was pretending to be soone who had died many years ago. Although I don't know what her objective is, she's definitely not anyone proper, and he's forbidden from eting her anymore, and he is to adamantly refuse to talk to her anymore and completely avoid her.
"Hiroshi obviously doesn't want to do this, and he only agreed to do so on the surface due to my pressure.
"Aiko and I have continually been watching him, and haven't noticed anything abnormal from him recently, nor have we seen that girl around him."
The middle-aged father looked at the teenage boy.
"Harano-kun, I'm telling you all this, not only to answer your question, but also in hope that you'll be on your guard. If you see this girl, pay attention to not have anything to do with her… don't beco like Hiroshi is currently."
His tone was filled with concern of an elder towards a junior.
Seiji smiled at this. "Thank you for your concern, Fuuma-san. I shall be cautious."
After Seiji left Hiroto's study, he was invited by Airi to her room.
Seiji went to her room and chatted with her just like last ti.
"Onii-san, I'm going to go to Genhana Middle School starting from next year, and at that ti… Can I go to the high school section to look for you?" Airi asked while hugging her large Milk Cream Bunny plushie.
"Of course," Seiji responded. "I'll be quite happy to have a cute junior co looking for ."
'Cute…' Airi's heart kept pounding when she heard him call her that.
"Then… Can I call you Seigo Senpai?"
Not Harano Senpai, but Seigo Senpai.
Seiji thought about it, and felt that it was just a way of addressing him, and he didn't mind too much either way, so he answered with "Sure."
'Nice!' Inside her mind, Airi clenched her fist in a victory pose.
"You can call 'Airi' as well," she said while riding along the montum.
"Okay, Airi-chan."
The little girl embarrassedly covered half of her face with the plushie when she heard him calling her by na, and she was smiling in a silly manner.
Seiji looked towards her.
"Airi-chan, how's your current relationship with your brother?"
The little girl paused in surprise for a mont, and then her expression beca slightly downcast.
"Brother apologized to , and I apologized to Brother as well, but… I'm still a little scared of him, and feel like sothing's different about him."
"So, the relationship between you is a bit colder than before, is that right?"
Airi nodded.
After that type of incident, it was probably difficult to recover a normal sibling relationship within a short ti, especially with the older brother still being in such an unusual state. Seiji thought of Hiroshi Fuuma's expression and behavior and figured that Hiroshi had probably remained like this during the entire ti after the incident.
Was that girl really just a scamr? Was she soone with "mystical" powers? Did she go out with Hiroshi and have sex with him in order to do sothing like absorb his spiritual essence?
He still couldn't see anything when he used [Astral Vision] to inspect Hiroshi Fuuma. At least, he wasn't cursed or anything on the surface.
That girl canceled her phone number and hadn't contacted him again, so this seed like it was over.
"After so ti passes, and your brother recovers, you can slowly work on your relationship with him," Seiji told her. "It was his fault for doing that to you, but maybe he's also a victim of sorts as well."
Airi nodded once again.
"My dad told that Brother beca strange because of a bad girl's influence."
Well, it would be good if she was just a normal bad girl.
"Has your dad showed you that girl's picture before?"
"He has. He told that if I et her anywhere, that I should avoid her. And if I see her together with Brother, I should use my cell phone to call him or mom imdiately."
"Do as your father says," Seiji told her as he thought things over. "Apart from this, call as well… Perhaps I'll be able to do sothing."
Airi blinked at this.
"Seigo Senpai, you're concerned about what that bad girl is up to?"
"Yeah… Because I think that she might not be an ordinary person."
"Not an ordinary person?"
"It's not convenient for to explain, and there's no need for you to know." Seiji smiled. "At any rate, if you see her, please let know."
"Okay…" Airi didn't really understand, but she agreed.
Afterwards, they chatted for a while longer.
Then, Seiji felt it was ti to go, so he left and said goodbye.
Before he left, Hiroto Fuuma gave him an exquisite gift box. He only said that it was a small present, and didn't say what it was.
Seiji politely accepted the present and said goodbye to the Fuuma family mbers and left like that.
After returning ho, he opened up the gift box to find inside a set of exquisite high-class tea utensils. He decided to look it up on the internet and found out that this tea set was worth almost 200,000 sakuras, which was quite a serious present for any normal family.
Shika washed the newly opened tea utensils, and made tea using them.
After the tea was ready, Seiji drank so tea together with her and discussed his plan to go to the doujinshi convention tomorrow.
Shika was no longer as worried about her "Reaper's Curse" afflicting her as she used to be, but she still needed to avoid places where people were dense and in large numbers, so she didn't intend to go.
"If you're interested, you can watch my stream. If there's anything you want to buy for you, let know," Seiji told her.
Basically, he was going to have Shika share the stream with Hana and watch the doujinshi convention… Did this count as taking two more girls with him?
Shika nodded in agreent.
The next day.
Seiji put on his backpack and outfitted himself with the high-quality outdoors streaming equipnt before leaving his apartnt.
He knocked on the Uehara family's residence, and Mika ca out. She paused for a mont when she saw all the streaming equipnt on him.
"I still haven't begun streaming," Seiji smiled. "The batteries are limited, so I'll only start streaming when I arrive."
"Oh…" Mika relaxed at hearing this.
The two of them headed together towards the place where everyone had agreed to et up: an intersection near the business area.
When they arrived, they saw that Kaho was waiting there already.
After greeting each other, the three of them waited for a while, and Chiaki and Yukari arrived.
Yukari was wearing a black windbreaker and a white breathing mask as well as sunglasses and a wool hat, completely covering her face.
'So this is what she ant by 'completely disguising herself…'' Seiji felt as if he was looking at himself from the day of the Winter Snow Festival.
"Good morning, everyone, I'm Reiko." Yukari greeted them in an upbeat tone, before looking towards Kaho. "You must be Lavender, right? Hello, nice to et you."
"Hello… Nice to et you." Kaho looked at her and blinked as she responded.
"You don't need to mind. Although she's covering herself up like this, she's a good person… Probably." Chiaki smiled as she said so.
"The word 'probably' is unnecessary!" Yukari retorted.
"Everyone's here, so let's get going," Seiji told them.
