Chapter 687: I’d like to ask you a question

Translator: imperfectluck  Editor: Kurisu

“This is the first ever account… card?”

“That’s right.”

“Is it alright to give such a meaningful item to me?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Yui casually glossed over it.

‘No, no, I think it does matter, elder sister!’

“This number is giving me a significant amount of pressure…” Seiji’s eyes twitched.

“The number is only a number. The only thing it signifies is the order in which the account was given out. There’s no special meaning.”

“Although that may be the case, I still think this number should be given to someone stronger than me.”

“I’ve already given you the card, so I won’t take it back. If you think there’s meaning in this number, then make it so that you deserve the meaning of this number.”

Her words seemed to contain deep meaning. Seiji fell silent for a moment.

“Rather than 001, I think I like 007 better…” Seiji recalled a certain legendary spy from his previous world.

“Why’s that?” Yui asked.

“Because I think that number is luckier.”

“You’re already extremely lucky.”

“I don’t think so at all… besides, nobody can have too much luck,” Seiji stated. “Thank you for giving me this.”

He became a registered unit… whoops, account holder of Soul Society rather than joining the faction outright. This was the relationship between an organization and one of its customers. This type of relationship was currently ideal for him.

“No need for thanks. I gave it to you because I have expectations for you,” Yui told him lightly.

“What type of specific expectations?”

“Nothing specific. I just want to see what extent you can achieve.”

“Just like with the Bloodwine Ritual tournament?” Seiji looked directly at her.

“Yep.” Yui admitted this.

Both of them fell silent for a moment.

“I hope that I won’t disappoint you.” Seiji chuckled. “By the way… now that I’m an account holder, can I request support from Soul Society?”

“What exactly do you need?”

“Emergency reinforcements in times of danger, such as if the Messengers faction attacks me for revenge.”

“That’s fine. But, Soul Society may not be able to respond immediately. You’ll also have to pay an appropriate price for the support you receive.”

“That’s still better than no backup support at all.”

Just being able to request support was already a wonderful benefit. An account holder was different from a formal member of Soul Society. It wouldn’t be possible for him to expect complete protection.

“Also, let met just ask something else. Only by joining Soul Society will I be able to obtain Soul Society’s full protection, correct?”

“Of course.”

“What should I do if I want to join Soul Society?”

“Apply and take a test. Only by passing the test will you be allowed to enter,” Yui told him. “Or, you can complete a sufficient number of missions as an account holder. Once you prove your strength, you’ll be able to apply and join without needing to take a test.”

“Will it be the same for an entire team?”

“Pretty much?”

“What about Soul Society’s recruitment? What types of people does Soul Society need? How do they recruit?”

“That’s not something you need to know.”

Seiji had many more questions he wanted to ask. However, it would seem that his older sister wouldn’t tell him so easily.

Just as he was thinking about what to ask next, Yui glanced over at his hospital bed.

“I’d like to ask you a question, Seiji.”

“What is it?”

“How many girls have you slept with already?”

Seiji was rendered speechless.

Heavens, this was such a pointed question!

Seiji’s expression became incredibly awkward as he averted his gaze. He wanted to respond that he hadn’t slept with a single one, but it just happened to be that a girl was sleeping on his bed right now!

But if he answered that he had, that didn’t seem quite right either. Although he had now gone farther and done sexy things with his girlfriends, they still hadn’t taken the final step yet.

So, please help him, how was he supposed to answer such a question!?

The scene fell silent for a while.

Yui’s gaze turned icy as she stared at her younger brother’s handsome face.

“Cough…” Seiji lightly coughed in order to calm himself down. “If Sister Yui is referring to having sex when you said ‘slept with’, then I haven’t done it with a single girl yet.”

Excellent! He felt that this would be the perfect answer.

Yui’s icy gaze seemed to lessen ever so slightly.

“Even if you haven’t had sex, sleeping together is almost at that level.”

‘No, there’s a huge difference!’ Seiji really wanted to deny this.

“I don’t want to interfere with your personal relationships. It’s your freedom to sleep with as many girls as you like. But since I have expectations of you… I prefer not to see something so distasteful,” Yui spoke in a deep and foreboding tone.

Seiji broke out into a cold sweat as he nodded.

Yui took another deep glance at her younger brother before she stood up and left the room.

Seiji poured a cup of water for himself after she left. He downed it all in one gulp and let out a huge sigh of relief.

He then looked at the card in his hand.

After looking at it for a while, he injected his Mana.

The red runes on the card lit up and projected a spell formation. The spell formation then transformed into a screen that displayed words.

Seiji carefully read over the explanation.

“Brother…” a voice suddenly spoke behind him.

Seiji turned around to see that Shika had woken up.

“I’m sorry for waking you up.” Seiji was apologetic.

Shika fell silent.

Actually, she had woken up a while ago. She pretended to still be asleep and listened in on the conversation. However, she also sensed that Yui had noticed this.

“This is a Soul Society registration card that Yui gave me. She just came to visit me…” Seiji explained things.

Shika went up to his side and read the explanation together with him.

After they finished reading, both felt that there were no problems.

Seiji squeezed the card, causing the words on the projected screen to turn into a contract.

He read it over carefully once again before making his final confirmation. The contract transformed into a complex black-and-white spell formation with one part left blank.

On this particular contract, he could sign with whatever username he wanted, just like a website account. He didn’t have to use his real life name.

His account number was 001… although Yui said that it only represented the account number order and nothing else, Seiji still felt that this number was meaningful.

Seiji wanted to have a cool-sounding username.

How about “Knight King”?

Although this sounded cool to him, yet… Forget about his friends jokingly calling him that, he would be far too embarrassed if strangers called him by this name!

“Shika-chan, what username do you think would be good?” Seiji couldn’t think up a good username, so he asked his adopted younger sister’s opinion.

Shika blinked to hear him asking.

“Brother can decide.”

“I want a cool-sounding name, but I can’t think of a good one…”

Shika thought about it for a moment.

“Divine King.”

Seiji was rendered speechless.

“Although this name sounds cool, it’s a little too domineering for me.” Seiji’s cheeks twitched.

“I think that this name is quite appropriate for Brother.” Shika was quite serious.

“Thank you for believing so. But, I don’t think it’s that appropriate. Any other ideas?”

“Saint King.”

“That’s almost the same, it’s not too appropriate…”

“Divine Saint King.”

“It’s even more inappropriate when you combine them! How about removing the ‘King’ portion of the name?”

“Amasei-omikami.”

“You’re just changing one small portion and adding my name into Amaterasu-omikami! Calling myself a god is just as embarrassing as calling myself a king!!” Seiji commented. “I want a cool name that doesn’t sound too ridiculous. Otherwise, I’ll feel awkward when strangers call me by that name…” Seiji sighed.

He suddenly recalled the temporary name he went by during the Winter Snow Festival from last year.

That name sounded quite good to him. It had a certain meaning to it but didn’t sound silly at all.

Seiji spoke it out loud. Something flashed in Shika’s eyes as she heard this. She then nodded in agreement.

And so, the username was decided upon.

Seiji then illuminated the blank portion of the spell formation with his Mana, causing the contract to be activated. It started glowing red together with the faint sound of incantations being muttered.

After Seiji wrote his name, the spell formation started glowing and then returned to the card in a patch of glowing mist. The black-and-white twin dragon formation upon it began spinning, slowly revealing a small pentagram in the center.

Registration complete.

The first account holder of Soul Society, code number 001— White Night 1 !
