239 This Name Is Too Revealing! (1/2)

The two of them returned to the Uehara apartment.

After Seiji took Mika back home, he was about to return to his own apartment when Mika called out to him.

”Should we... tell Chiaki as well about the mystical world?” Mika asked.

Seiji paused in surprise for a moment as he considered it.

”Indeed... it doesn’t feel good to be deceiving her alone.” He sighed. ”I even promised Chiaki before that I would tell her when the situation permitted it.”

”Yeah...”

Seiji recalled the conversation he had with Chiaki after he had pretended to be her fake boyfriend.

At that time, he didn’t explain things clearly to Chiaki, and she let him know that she understood back then. But he felt it was really bad to do it to her again, even if she was able to accept it.

Besides, there was also Mika’s promise with Chiaki to tell her.

After considering it carefully, Seiji came to a decision.

”Let’s tell her. It didn't matter much when I was the only one who knew, but now that we both know, I’d feel really bad about leaving only her in the dark.”

”Yeah, Chiaki is our important friend.” Mika smiled.

The two of them decided to tell Chiaki about everything the next morning when they saw her again.

...

The next morning.

Even though he didn’t need to get up early today, Seiji still woke up at the same time he usually did and gave a mighty stretch.

When he went out of his room to take a look, he saw Shika making breakfast as expected.

”Good morning, Shika-chan.”

”Good morning, Brother Seiji... breakfast is almost ready.”

Seiji nodded in understanding. He watched his adopted sister with a loving light in his eyes.

During breakfast time.

”Shika-chan, let’s go out and have some fun later today.”

”Fun...”

”That’s right; we can go out together and go shopping, or watch a movie or something.” Seiji smiled gently.

Shika blinked before flashing a dazzling smile.

This was his carrying out his promise. The promise that didn’t exist in this timeline anymore; the one from that rainy night.

After eating breakfast, the two of them went out together.

Seiji was wearing a jacket and pants, and Shika was wearing a one-piece dress with a jacket on top. It was perfectly ordinary clothing.

But since they both had excellent physical appearances, even if they wore such ordinary clothes, they attracted many people’s attention simply by walking down the street.

A tall handsome boy and an incredibly beautiful girl... it was easy for the passersby to imagine the two of them having fun together while elegantly drinking coffee or going to some high-class shop.

But actually, the place they went to was... a large bookstore’s light novel section!

There were beautiful girls wearing extravagant clothing, beautiful girls in cold haughty poses, beautiful girls with faces flushed red in embarrassment, and beautiful girls that were barely about to reveal their... cough, attractive beautiful girls... and so on. The covers of light novels were simply too excellent in Seiji’s eyes!

”Go ahead and buy whatever you like, Shika-chan. They’ll become our references (strength).”

”Okay!” Shika’s eyes also began to shine.

And so, the two of them began moving, as they jumped towards... whoops, walked towards the stories they were interested in, flipping through the light novels.

Why did it become like this?

After they'd left their apartment, Seiji had asked Shika where she wanted to go, so she said she’d go wherever her brother wanted to go, so Seiji mentioned going to read light novels, and in the end...

What happened to going shopping or seeing a movie!?

Those could wait.

After Seiji looked through some novels, he suddenly felt curious about what Shika was reading, so he approached her stealthily.

He saw that the black-haired girl was holding on to a novel and giving it her full attention. Her face was completely red.

Seiji was shocked at her expression, so he hurriedly peeked at the name of the novel she was holding.
