354 Gift-Giving Card (1/2)

Seiji and Natsuya left in the latter's car after saying goodbye to Kanna and Izawa.

The car headed for the Uehara apartment complex. When they were almost there, Seiji asked the driver to stop and let him off.

Natsuya looked towards him. ”Where are you going?”

”I'm going to buy some things,” Seiji answered.

”Could it be that you're buying Winter Snow Festival presents?”

”Yep, for Shika-chan and Reo-chan, as well as Mika and her mother.”

”Nothing for me?”

”Er…”

”Just joking.” The president smiled faintly.

He was giving presents to Shika Kagura and Reo Tachibana, as well as his neighbor and friend Mika Uehara and her mother the landlord due to either living together with them or being neighbors. However, Natsuya and him weren't in a romantic relationship yet.

The car stopped by the roadside.

”I'm going. Happy Winter Snow Festival, Natsuya.”

”Take care. Happy Winter Snow Festival, Seiji.”

Seiji got off the car and left after saying goodbye.

Natsuya watched him leave, until she couldn't see him anymore.

On the way, Seiji called Shika and told her that he was finished with what he was doing and that he was on the way home. He asked what she and Reo wanted to eat, and that he would buy it and bring it back for everyone.

He headed for the business district and saw that there were many people around here. The atmosphere was so lively that it made even the chilly winds seem not so cold anymore.

Seiji took note of what food he should buy for them, and then wondered about presents.

Suddenly, he recalled that his system had a function in the [Gifts] option that he had never tried out before: checking the gifts that a target girl wanted!

'Let's try this function out.'

Seiji opened up his dating sim system, chose the [Gifts] option, then chose Shika's name.

A series of [Gift-Giving Cards], ranging from levels one through to ten, appeared before him.

Seiji looked at the cards and thought for a moment before choosing level seven and paying the required points for it.

The white card instantly gave off a faint glow, and Shika's upper half appeared in front of him, as well as words that resembled her handwriting.

[I want a personal, hand-drawn picture from Brother Seiji. It's best if it's a picture of me intimately hugging him.]

Seiji was rendered speechless.

The system rendered her thoughts in her own tone of voice!? He was astonished at this.

This seemed as if he was reading her diary, or mind reading… Er, he supposed that this ability was a type of ”mind reading” in its own right.

Reading such information, should he say that it was too embarrassing, or that he felt like he was reading something he wasn't supposed to? At any rate, Seiji felt that it was all quite subtle.

'I'm sorry, Shika-chan. The drawing I completed isn't the one that you want.'

He already finished his drawing last night. Right now, Seiji intended to buy some packaging and other small gifts, in order to make it look better when giving it to her.

Just as he was thinking this, the words on the [Gift-Giving Card] changed.

[Apart from the drawing, I also want a beautiful frame that I can put the drawing in. I absolutely have to take good care of the drawing that Brother Seiji gives to me.]

This information could even change in real time!?

Seiji's eyes widened in surprise.

'What if I can't get Shika a frame?' he thought to himself. 'What else would be good?'

Almost instantly, the words changed again.

[I also want to sleep together with Brother Seiji… Tachibana-chan gets to sleep together with Brother every night. I'm so jealous.]

It refreshed again!

This [Gift-Giving Card] wasn't a one-use item, and it would constantly update itself!

Seiji was astonished at how powerful the [Gift-Giving Card] was and amazed at the content of what he had just learned.

'Shika-chan… wants to sleep together with me?'

He recalled the scene of his adopted younger sister sleeping together with him by the kotatsu's side.
