Chapter 276
Seiji finally finished reading all the detailed explanations of the new spells .
Afterward, he felt that he needed to plan out his evolution… whoops, path for cultivation .
But, before that, there was an important question that required an answer: what type of Spiritual Ability user or Yin-Yang Master should Seiji become?
The answer to this question would affect which spells he learned first . It would also determine the spells he would learn if he had an excess of time and the spells that were unnecessary to learn . Basically, it influenced the order he would learn spells in, much like choosing from a skill tree .
After some consideration, he arrived at an answer . Based on his answer, he planned out his future path .
The first spell that he wanted to learn was [Mana Bullet]!
According to the explanation, this spell could attack both physical and spiritual objects, and ordinary people would be unable to see it . It was quite a practical and useful spell .
The requirements for learning it were similar to the other spells: he had to read the relevant technique manual and practice it .
Seiji wasn’t in a big hurry to begin his practice .
He had already practiced cultivating for an entire day, and he’d just spent a considerable amount of time reading through his system’s explanations, so he felt like doing something else for a change of pace .
And so he left his room, went to the study, and turned on his computer . He browsed the internet and also logged on to his chatting application…
Time passed just like this .
Seiji took a shower, then watched a few videos before he decided to shut down his computer and go to sleep .
Just as he was hovering his mouse over the “shut down” button, his chatting application beeped . It seemed that someone had sent him a message .
When Seiji reflexively checked the sender of the message, he froze over in surprise . He blinked to check if he had seen things wrongly .
The flashing message was still from that person .
He didn’t see things wrongly .
It was from “Cat-loving Flying Fish!”
Seiji clicked on the message, causing a message box to pop up .
“Who are you?” Only those few words were written in the message to him .
Seiji looked at it for a while, before he typed: “I am Seiji Haruta . ”
He sent the message . There was no immediate response from the other end, but she didn’t log off like last time either .
Seiji patiently waited for a response .
Several minutes later .
Cat-loving Flying Fish sent him another message: “Liar . ”
Seiji responded by typing: “I’m not lying . ”
Cat-loving Flying Fish sent a stream of words: “Liar liar liar!”
“I’m really not lying,” Seiji replied calmly .
“Seiji Haruta… the person who bears this name couldn’t possibly be like you… so you’re definitely lying!!”
Complex emotions were contained within this message . Seiji felt as if he could feel the conflicted emotions within the girl on the other end of the computer screen .
‘She’s probably crying… tears must be coming out . She’s in pain and discomfort . But she still didn’t turn off her computer; she’s facing me bravely . ’
‘What should I say to her? What should I say…’ Seiji thought hard about this question .
An apology? That didn’t seem like the correct answer . An admittance of his wrongs? Asking for forgiveness? None of those seemed correct, either .
That wasn’t what she wanted to hear, nor was it what she needed to hear .
What she wanted to hear was…
Suddenly, a string of text popped up in front of him; his system had given him three choices:
[A: I really am Seiji Haruta, your blood brother . ]
[B: That’s right, I was lying . I’m actually a perfect stranger . ]
[C: That’s right, I was lying . I’m actually a body-stealing reincarnator!]
Seiji was rendered speechless by his system . After looking at the options for several seconds, he knew what answer to give her .
It was actually quite simple .
‘System, thank you so much for your hint . ’
It was just that… what would happen after he said it?
Seiji decided not to think too much about it after some consideration .
He started typing .
“You saw through me . ”
“That’s right . ”
“I was lying . ”
“I’m not Seiji Haruta . ”
“Seiji Haruta is already dead . ”
“I’m just a person who has died already . I took over his body and memories after I reincarnated!”
“My real name is… Seigo Harano . ”
That was how it was .
If she didn’t want to see “Seiji Haruta,” then all he had to do was tell her that this person was already dead .
After a long period of silence…
Cat-loving Flying Fish sent him another message: “I knew it… You couldn’t possibly be that guy, nor could that guy possibly be you! Seigo Harano… a nice name . ”
Just as he’d expected, she accepted this answer .
This might cause problems for him later down the road, but… he didn’t feel that he needed to worry about this right now . It was fine if he could make it up to her for the harm the original Seiji had caused to her .
Seiji continued to type: “I’ve already told you my real name, so how about you? Could you please tell me your name?”
Cat-loving Flying Fish started at the words on her computer screen .
She slowly began typing and entered: “Hana Haruta . ”
‘As I expected . ’ Seiji’s guess had finally been confirmed .
This was truly… a coincidence that seemed like fate .
Seiji could only smile wryly as he inwardly exclaimed at this situation .
“I know you, but I’ve never met you before,” he typed .
“I’ve met you, but I don’t know you,” she typed back .
“Then let’s get to know each other all over again… Hello, blood-related younger sister of mine . ”
“Hello, blood-related older brother of mine . ”
This was the moment when te blood-related siblings got to know each other all over again for the first time .
Even though there were still some problems… fine, this still seemed rather strange, but both of them felt that this was fine, and this was enough for them .
At the very least, it was fine for the time being .
“How have you been recently, Sister?”
“I’ve been having tons of fun staying at home and being a NEET . How about you, Brother?”
“I’ve been living well . I’m having lots of fun every day at school, and I’m getting along excellently with my friends . Even the story I wrote recently has been published . ”
“Winners in life should all go explode!”
“If you ever leave your home, I’m sure that you could be a winner in life . ”
“No need—being a NEET is the best! All I have to do is play, eat, and sleep; it’s the most comfortable life of all!”
“That’s the way someone who’s fallen to depravity would think . ”
“You don’t need to worry so much about me!”
“If you don’t exercise for a long time, your figure will change . ”
“I do exercise for fifteen minutes in my room every day, so my figure definitely hasn’t changed!”
“Amazing, but you should at least increase your exercising time to thirty minutes every day . ”
“No! I’ll die of fatigue and dehydration from sweating!”
Seiji chuckled .
This seemed like a normal brother-sister conversation to him . But if he thought back to what the original Seiji did to her… then he didn’t know how to describe things anymore .
“Sister, do you have anything you’d like to do? Not just playing games, but doing something yourself, like creating something or anything like that?”
“I don’t want to work . ”
“I’m not talking about work; I’m talking about developing your interests . Instead of always playing or watching someone else’s creations, haven’t you ever had the impulse to create something better by yourself, even a little?”
“I have, but I feel that if I really tried to make something it would be quite bothersome, tiring, and would require so much effort~”
“Then you don’t need to try so hard . Just give it a casual attempt—just for fun . Just trying it will be quite fun in a much different way from only playing~”
“You’re just trying to fool me! I won’t become depraved so easily! I’m going to always be a perfect NEET!”
“No, I’m not trying to fool you into becoming depraved; I’m actually trying to help you evolve into a beautiful NEET angel!”
“What the hell’s a NEET angel!? This type of creature doesn’t exist!”
“No, it does exist in another world . ”
“There must be something wrong with that world!”
“It’s actually quite similar to this world . In fact, I even feel that this world has various strange things in it . ”
“You’re saying it as if that world actually exists . ”
“It does exist; I transmigrated from that world . ”
“Weren’t you a reincarnator?”
“I’m a transmigrator and a reincarnator . ”
“Are you trying to say that you’re actually a hero from another world!?”
“If you want to view me in this way, that works as well . ”
“Hey, hero! Where’s your holy sword?”
“Within the bosom of my fated person . It’s a pity that I still haven’t met that girl yet, nor have I awakened the power of a king . ”
“What the hell type of setting is that!?”
“If you can accept it, it’s actually a good story . It has its own unique way of being ecchi, and the art and music are actually pretty good as well . The beginning of the story was excellent, but the ending was rather bad . ”
“Are you actually talking about some anime!?”
“Yep, one from my previous world . ”
“You actually managed to come back to this topic again!”
And so, Seiji seemed like he was clowning around with made-up stories that actually weren’t made up, while Hana had fun commenting on his stories .
This brother and sister had fun chatting online until late into the night .
