785 Run away (1/2)

Seiji was unable to get into contact with Yui.

She didn't pick up her phone, nor did she respond to his texts. Thus, Seiji could only set this matter aside for the time being and wait for her to respond.

The next day, everyone trained in Kazuko's Domain, cultivated in Seiji's Spirit House, and then had their party.

The party was held in Natsuya's mansion.

Natsuya's mansion was basically now the main base for Seiji's knight order. It felt the most meaningful to hold the party here. Nobody had any objections to choosing this location for the party.

Seiji paid for high-class food catering, along with some expensive drinks… Well, Seiji paid the money, but the maid Mai superbly took care of all the work for him.

”Cheers to us passing the god's trial!” Seiji toasted everyone.

”Cheers!!” Everyone lifted their cups.

After the toast, everyone started eating and chatting. The atmosphere was quite happy.

Hisashi, Yukari, Hoshi, Kaho, and Mayuzumi chatted with each other about anime and manga. Mika, Chiaki, Kaede, Kazuko, and Hitaka chatted with each other about fashion. Shika spoke to Shinobu, while Mai fed Rana some food…

Seiji felt that all of this was wonderful to watch.

He used the spell that Yomi previously taught him to consecrate some food for Shinobu so that the puppet girl could taste the wonders of food.

He had already dealt with real gods by now, so Seiji no longer cared anymore about the religious meaning behind consecrating food for Shinobu. He cared more about helping Shinobu to experience the wonders of being alive.

Seiji and Natsuya also started chatting about novels. Not only did they chat about light novels, they also chatted about traditional novels.

Although it seemed like writing ”anything” was fine in light novels, there was actually a surprising number of restrictions. In fact, it was the more ”traditional” novels that sometimes had astonishing content within. Due to numerous reasons, there were only subtle differences between the story types.

Seriously chatting about such topics was actually quite fun. Time passed unknowingly, just like that.

Chiaki saw that it was good timing for her to volunteer to do a performance.

”I'm going to do a Manzai performance. My partner will be Seiji.”

”Hey, I never heard about this!”

Manzai was a type of stand-up comedy performance. The concept of ”commenting and retorting” also originated from Manzai. It was just that this type of joking around was spread even further by anime and manga.

Although he had never rehearsed such a thing with Chiaki before, he decided to cooperate with her since she had named him. Seiji went over to her side.

”You say that you don't want it, but your body is quite honest.” Chiaki intentionally glanced at Seiji's lower half.

”I'm checking your little son's condition. It seems quite healthy. That's wonderful.”

”I don't need you to confirm that for me! How would you even see it in the first place!?”

”Now, let us formally begin. Seiji, I have an important question to ask you.”

”What's that?”

”Suppose that you had a one-night stand with someone present today—”

”Stop! I reject this supposition!!”

”Then, suppose that you had a physical relationship with someone here that went beyond friendship—”

”You're just rephrasing things, and it somehow sounds even worse now! Rejected!!”

”Honestly, there's no helping you. Then, suppose that you had an incredibly sweet and sticky night with someone present…”

”That's still no good! I said that I reject such suppositions!!” Seiji intentionally used more energy than normal in his retorts.

”We won't be able to continue this anymore if you keep refusing. Are you that against the idea of starting something with anyone present here?”

”Why the hell do we have to start with such a kind of supposition! I feel like things will only become worse if I accept!!”

”That won't happen at all, because everyone present is quite willing to start that type of relationship with you. Isn't that right, everyone~?” Chiaki looked at everyone else.

”That's right-” Everyone laughed and went along with it.

”What type of expression should I make here?” Seiji intentionally acted as if he found this difficult.

”All you need to do is smile.”

”Smile… the hell! This type of beginning is definitely a trap. I won't fall for this!!”
