566 The basic goal of games like PUBG is to survive! (2/2)
”Of course.”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
”Shika-chan, is there anything you'd like to say?” Seiji looked towards his adopted younger sister.
Shika shook her head.
”In that case… let's sign.” Seiji forcefully squeezed the card as the explanation had told him to do.
The words on the holographic spell array screen instantly changed to a contract incantation.
Seiji carefully looked it over and determined that the contents were the same as the explanation from earlier.
Seiji squeezed the card once again.
The contract instantly transformed into a dark-red mystical spell formation with two blank spots within it for signatures.
Seiji and Shika lifted their hands together, putting their index fingers on the signature space in unison.
The spell formation instantly started whirling and shining with a white light. There was also the faint sound of a female uttering an incantation. This really felt quite ritualistic to Seiji.
With serious expressions, both Seiji and Shika wrote their own names with their index fingers.
The next second, the spell formation released a blinding light which transformed into to balls of light mist which twirled around Seiji and Shika's hands. Small blood-red spell formations formed on top of their palms.
Their contract to enter the tournament had been successful!
Seiji glanced at the mark on his palm and then looked at the one on Shika's.
The two blood-red seals soon faded into their skin. The white runes on the tournament entry card disappeared, and the card slowly turned pitch-black as it lost its magic powers.
”Next up will be preparing for battle… let's work hard together, Shika-chan.”
”Yes, Brother.”
”Our goal is to obtain victory. But, this isn't a scenario where we absolutely have to win. That's why you shouldn't feel too pressured,” Seiji told her sincerely.
”Brother…” Something flashed in Shika's eyes.
”Just work hard an appropriate amount. You definitely shouldn't overdo things.”
'Victory is important, but not as important as you.' Seiji transmitted this message with his eyes.
Shika understood this message. A warm feeling arose within her chest and a gentle expression appeared on her face.
Mika and Chiaki concretely understood Shika's position in Seiji's heart even better upon witnessing this scene.
Although they already knew what Seiji thought of her before, they still felt rather jealous.

”How's the situation?”
”Seiji Haruta of the Haruta Family and Shigure Tendo of the Tendo Family have just signed the contract to participate in the tournament.”
”The famous 'garbage' of the Haruta Family and the 'low ability' of the Tendo Family… it seems that both really want to prove themselves. Haha, with them participating, this ritual tournament won't be too boring.”
”These two are a perfect match for each other, almost as if they're destined rivals.”
”You can delete that 'almost' portion, because they are destined rivals.”
”Why's that?”
”Seiji Haruta's older sister Yui Haruta killed Shigure Tendo's older brother Raizen Tendo.”
”I see…”
”They have similar names, similar situations, and a reason for a grudge. Haha… it's almost as if they're destined enemies in a shonen manga. Although I wonder who's supposed to be the main character and who's supposed to be the antagonist.”
”Wouldn't Shigure Tendo be the main character then? His older brother was the one who was killed.”
