"Looks like you're ready to come to your senses. After staring at each other for a while, Cang Lan withdrew her gaze.

"It's really youthful. He sighed, picked up his cup, and took a sip of tea.

Harusa was silent.

"The Wanhua family won't do anything to you, Mr. Haruta. Cang Lan continued.

"All we can do is force the summer night away from you. ”

"It's not good to do this, we know, but the Wanhua family has the position of the Wanhua family. ”

"We are not responsible for the death of the young master of the Mite family, and we don't need to give an explanation, but we must give some attitude, so that the family can save some face. ”

But the way this attitude is given is not fixed. If you do something for Wanhua's family, we will replace it in another way. ”

"Make it clear that this is in no way a threat. Even if you don't do anything, the Wanhua family will not completely cut off your connection with Xia Ye, after all, you have a lot of potential...... Regardless of anything else, I'm actually quite optimistic about you. Cang Lan smiled slightly.

"What do you need me to do?" Haruji asked dryly.

"Do you know the 'Wine of Fighting Blood'?" Cang Lan asked rhetorically.

Wine of Blood......

Harusa blinked, recalling.

It was before the New Year.,After being approached by Mite-akatsuki.,He asked Natsuya "How to greatly increase your strength in a short period of time", and the latter replied-

"It is a spirit bar formed by the battle of multiple psionic people after signing a contract, and the defeated paying 'spiritual blood', and can only be drunk by the victor to increase their strength. ”

"That's right. Cang Lan nodded, "It's good that you know." ”

"The process of forming the blood wine is called the 'blood wine ceremony'. ”

"The first public blood wine ceremony was originally scheduled to be held in January this year, but due to various circumstances that happened after the New Year, the Kuroki family and the Hyakmu Oni clan postponed it. ”

"Now they are scheduled to hold a ceremony in early March, that is, half a month later, and it is estimated that tomorrow they will start sending invitations to participate in and watch the battle. ”

"In order to attract people to participate in the war, the Black Qi Family and the Hundred Eyes Ghost Clan have prepared some rewards, and the rewards given to the victors are what our Wanhua family wants very much. ”

"So you want me to go into battle, win the victory, and get that thing and give it to you?" Haruji's eyes flickered.

"Yes. But as I said earlier, this is not a threat, not an order, just a hope. Cang Lan smiled, "If you participate in the war and win, and you are willing to give that thing to the Wanhua family, we will pay a reasonable price, or exchange it for other items of equal value, and we will not take advantage of you." ”

"As long as I do, you won't let Summer Night leave me, will you?"

"Yes, I promise. Cang Lan confirmed, "If you can do it." ”

If you can't do it, I'm sorry.

Harusa seemed to be able to hear the other party say this.

Bloody wine, bloody wine ritual...... I didn't expect to put it back in front of me in this form.

Harusa thought back to the relevant materials he had read.

It must be difficult to win, but with the current strength, can it be done?

Gotta give it a try!

"How can I go to war?" he asked calmly.

The decision was made in such a short time, not on the spur of the moment, but with real awareness...... Cang Lan admired it in her heart. I really understand why my sister likes him.

"If you receive an invitation to participate in the war, you should be able to apply on your own. We won't know until tomorrow. ”

Harusa nodded.

After that, there was nothing more to say, and he took his leave and left.

……

"That's it. ”

In Mika's room, Chiaki confesses what she had done.

"I'm sorry, Meijia, I defected, hehe~"

Meijia: "............"

Although I wanted to complain, what I heard was too shocking, and the girl with a double ponytail was stunned.

"Chiaki...... What you said is true?" she couldn't help but ask after a while.

"It's true. The men's beauty nodded.

"How is that possible...... President Wan Hua...... Agreeing to something like that......"

"Why can't it be?"

"Because...... President She......"

"Do you want to say that because Wan Hua Xia Ye is very good, you won't allow that?"

Meijia nodded.

"That's your misunderstanding. Being excellent does not mean having a strong desire for exclusivity, but in a sense the opposite. Chiaki pushed the non-existent glasses and said seriously.

Meijia looked shaken.

Seeing her friend's expression, Chiaki wanted to say something more, but she didn't say anything.

There was silence for a while.

"Sure enough...... Can't you win the president?" muttered Mika.

"I want to comfort you, but to be honest, I think that's it. Chiaki shrugged.

"If President Wanhua had a strong desire for exclusivity, there was still a possibility of defeating her, but she didn't. ”

"Wan Huaxia Night is not only the favorite of Harumi at the moment, but also the most perfect object, and there is no flaw. ”

Even thinking about it the other way around, it is precisely because she is such a perfect object that Harusa likes her the most. ”

"If I were Harusa, I would never let go of such a girl, no matter what. ”

Meijia again: "............"

"What to do after that, think for yourself, Meijia. ”

"Thousand Autumn ......"

"I'm sorry, but that's who I am. Chiaki smiled.

Such a smile Meijia looks familiar, but at the moment it feels a little unfamiliar.

The men's beauty left.

The girl with two ponytails fell on the bed.

There was no frustration in her heart.

But there was no hope, and there was no clue what to do after that.

It's empty.

Meijia turned over and looked at the ceiling, not thinking about anything, letting her mind go blank.

Even so, however, the name came to mind naturally.

"Harusa......"

……

At night.

Summer night came to Haruji's house.

"Are you really going to war?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's dangerous. ”

"I know, but it's also an opportunity to gain knowledge. Harusa smiled, "The martial arts tournament is a boy's romance." ”

Whether it's anime or or, martial arts tournament plots are classics.

If a juvenile comic like Long O is a royal comic, then the martial arts conference is the royal plot in the royal comics, and sometimes it alone is enough to renew the life of the entire comic!

Ahem, distracted.

In short, Harusa is also interested in the martial arts tournament, which is the blood wine ceremony itself.

Summer Night stared at him.

She knew that the other party's words were sincere, but the root cause of her participation in the war still lay with her.

He is ready to come to his senses, as he said this morning.

“…… Be careful, don't force it. "That's all I can say on a summer night.

"I will. Harusa agreed.

Then the scene fell silent for a moment.

Summer Night kept staring at this side, and Harusa was a little embarrassed and looked away.

He was about to say something more when he heard a soft voice.

"Harusa, I want to come into your room, can I?"

Into the room?

Harusa was stunned for a moment.

I...... Did you hear that right?
