500 This is the only request I want fulfilled in my entire life! (1/2)

After finishing his mental conversation with Natsuya, Seiji returned to his team.

”I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news,” he started out with a classical line. ”The good news is that my adopted younger sister and my friends have come to save me. The bad news is that they all got trapped in this realm as well.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

”Please allow me to get acquainted with your cute adopted younger sister!” Matsutani acted all serious. ”This is the only request I want fulfilled in my entire life, Harano-kun!”

”…With you saying that, I'd rather do the opposite, Matsutani-senpai.” Seiji gave the pudgy middle-aged man a sidelong glance. ”They're currently inside Yoshida-san's story setting. I already asked them to help locate Yoshida-san. What we're going to do now is go and meet up with them.”

It was good that someone had come to save them. However, the fact that the ones saving them had gotten trapped as well made the situation rather awkward.

Shousei Maishi indicated that he would like to finish listening to Seiji's explanation of what was going on after several seconds of silence.

”I'll explain things to you as we walk, Maishi-san.”

”Harano-san, your adopted younger sister is a Spiritual Ability user as well?” Nomura asked Seiji a question after they all exited the girls' middle school.

”Yeah.” Seiji nodded.

”You mentioned before that it's inconvenient for her to appear in public due to certain reasons? What exactly is that about?” Nomura indicated his curiosity. ”Of course, if it's something you can't talk about, forget I asked.”

Seiji saw that everyone else was now looking at him as well.

”Due to a reason regarding her Spiritual Ability, it's not convenient for her to talk or come into contact with others,” Seiji explained. ”That's also why she has a rather cold personality towards others. I hope that you all won't mind when you meet her.”

”Could it be… that she bears some type of curse?” Nomura hazarded a guess.

”You can understand it that way.” Seiji nodded.

At first, all the authors had been under the impression that Seigo Harano's adopted younger sister was a weak and sickly girl, which was why it was inconvenient for her to go out. However, the image they had suddenly changed into a girl bearing a curse!

”I'm even more curious about your adopted younger sister now, Harano-kun.” Matsutani continued acting all serious. ”I have a premonition already. My first time meeting her will surely become an excellent memory!”

”I have a premonition already that Senpai's first meeting with her will become a terrible memory…”

”Please allow her to become a new character in my light novel, adopted Older Brother-sama!”

”I refuse! Also, don't address me in such a fashion!” Seiji retorted.

”I forbid it! Don't just pretend to be my older brother!!”

”I shall do my absolute best to make her into the most popular younger sister of all in my 'Can't Sleep with Younger Sister' series! She shall become the dream lover (fantasy lover) for all my readers!!”

”I'll never allow it! I'll kill you if you dare do such a thing!!”

Nomura and the others were all rendered speechless.

”Harano-san and Matsutani-senpai only got acquainted with each other recently, but they're already squabbling like a pair of old friends,” Yuuko commented.

”I think that Matsutani-senpai's words have too many parts people would want to retort to… And as for Harano-san, he seems like a sis-con,” Nomura added.

”I'm getting curious about Harano-san's adopted younger sister as well. I'm looking forward to see what type of girl she is,” Maishi mentioned.

Miyabi listened in to their conversation without commenting. However, she was actually quite curious as well.

This younger sister of Seigo Harano's had no relation to him by blood. Just what kind of sister was she to make him into such a sis-con?

Shika Kagura was waiting quietly.

Although she was merely standing, anyone could tell at a glance that she was currently waiting for someone. Not to mention, that someone was incredibly important to her… she was simply giving off such an aura around her.

Even Natsuya had to suppress the urge to take out her cell phone and snap a picture of the pure and beautiful girl.

The matter between Shika Kagura and Seiji Haruta… or perhaps it would be better termed as connection, was something that Natsuya knew about. Perhaps Natsuya understood the relationship between Shika and Seiji better than anyone else, since Natsuya knew about Shika's ”Reaper's Curse”.

Precisely because Natsuya knew about Shika, Natsuya was unable to understand what exactly she felt towards Shika. Natsuya was confused about how she should view her.

She wanted to say something to Shika but didn't know what to say. Thus, Natsuya ended up merely observing Shika silently.

”Why are you always looking at me?”

To Natsuya's surprise, Shika was the first to speak up.

”Nothing much…” Natsuya retracted her gaze. ”I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.”

Shika looked at Natsuya.
