"Qianqiu, you..." The girl with twin ponytails had complicated eyes.
"I didn't lie to her this time, but I'm not completely telling the truth." The beauty in men's clothing put away her sinister face and giggled, "It's true that I wanted to sway Her Royal Highness, but I didn't take it very seriously, I just did it casually .”
Mika didn't know what to say.
At this moment, in her eyes, Qian Qiu's smiling expression is the same as usual, but there is a little more meaning that makes it hard to see the depth.
"If you want me to explain it, I can explain it. But think it through yourself, Mika."
…
night.
Seiji checked the Internet, and saw that the editorial department of Thunder Library released an announcement to explain, and the voice of criticism was a little less.
Then when he was about to call editor Yoshizawa, he received a call from the other party.
"The answer to your question in the morning is no. It is not the purpose of the editorial department to arouse criticism and create topics." The female editor said, "However, it cannot be denied that the editor-in-chief who promoted the selection and award of 'Brother Story' has the possibility of such thoughts .”
"No matter what, there is nothing wrong with his behavior. Although he promoted this matter, the selection and award of works are determined by the examiners, and they are completely implemented in compliance with the system."
"I think the editor did it with good intentions. He must have anticipated the uproar that would be caused by pushing 'Brother Story' to win, but chose to do it anyway because he believed in the work...believed that its quality could outweigh the criticism , turning the attention it arouses into sales.”
Seiji silently listened to the other party's words.
"Since editor Yoshizawa thinks so, I believe that's the way it is," he said.
"For newcomers and new works, it is very important to get attention, which I understand."
"But this kind of thing, if possible, wants to be informed in advance, rather than knowing it after it happens."
"I apologize to you for this, it's because I didn't work hard enough, I'm sorry." Sashi apologized.
"I don't want Editor Yoshizawa to apologize... But, I'll just accept it, and that's it." Seiji didn't want to get too fussy.
"Let's talk about the awards ceremony tonight, are there any requirements for what to wear?" He asked the question that he forgot to ask in the morning.
"There are no specific requirements, as long as you dress appropriately, even if you wear a school uniform to attend."
School uniforms too
"Is the cosplay costume okay?" Seiji asked jokingly.
"Not recommended. But if it's not too bad clothes, it's okay."
Cosplay is fine!
"It's all allowed. This awards ceremony...is quite open."
"Although the focus is on awarding, it also has the nature of a party, so the dress requirements are not very strict." Sahi said, "But it is a formal occasion after all, and it is basically more serious."
"Oh... what's the most special outfit you've ever worn?"
"That's what you call cosplay costumes. There was once a female author who won a gold medal in a vampire-like costume."
Seiji couldn't help imagining that scene, and found it quite interesting.
After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.
Then Mika came over.
"Seiji, I want to talk to you, can I?"
"sure."
Mika sat down in the study, Seiji poured her a cup of hot tea, and took a cup himself.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"About the duel you said this morning... I'm worried... and concerned..."
The girl with twintails expressed her uneasiness and what happened during her lunch break.
After listening to her narration, Seiji was silent for a while, and took a sip of tea.
"First of all, thank you for worrying about me so much... Since I participated in the war, I have the corresponding awareness." He said.
"Then... do you still remember what I said to you after I scolded the senior sisters Tianhai?"
Mika looked at his face, eyes flickering.
"I'm neither a good person nor a wicked person. I only do what I want and what I like to do—this is me." Seiji smiled slightly.
The girl with twin ponytails frowned slightly.
"But the duel is..."
"It's either killed or killed, I know... Although the actual situation may not be so extreme, it's right to think so." He said calmly.
"This is completely different from swearing. It's at a completely different level. It involves the lives of yourself and others. It should be treated with more caution... Is that what you think?"
Mika nodded.
"So you are a kind girl." Seiji smiled, "But I... I said it at that time, I don't think I am a kind and good person, and I really am not."
"Seiji..."
"Qianqiu is right, I am the type who will kill people when necessary. This time I participated in the duel, and I participated in the battle with the determination to kill the other party."
He looked at each other, looking directly into the girl's eyes, with a frank expression.
"You already know what you should know, Meijia, I don't think you need to repeat it, just think it out yourself."
The girl with twin ponytails frowned even deeper.
"I don't know, Seiji... how on earth do you... think about killing people?"
"This question...how should I put it, I think it's difficult to answer...or it's not easy to answer..." Qingshi paused, "It's hard to say what I really want to say, maybe I can't say it at all, and maybe it's better not to say it in the end .”
"So, just take it as if I don't want to answer."
A few seconds of silence.
"I... I'm not like Qianqiu... If you don't answer, I don't understand..." Meijia murmured.
"If you want an answer, I'll just say it straight." Seiji said indifferently, "I accept killing."
accept.
This word seems very simple, but also seems very profound.
Meijia vaguely felt something from it, but she couldn't think of it when she thought about it carefully.
The conversation is over.
He won't say anything to her anymore, and she needs to think for herself next.
No... there is one more person.
Jinchi Liuli, her spiritual ability teacher.
Meijia didn't want to ask this teacher very much, because she seemed to be able to imagine the other party's answer, but... after all, she was a master.
After the girl with twintails left, Seiji finished his tea silently.
That's all he can say, what Meijia thinks and what to do next is her choice.
Then he put down his glass and continued surfing the Internet.
I contacted someone on the Internet, and after a while, I got a response, an expression of "I'm doing a lot of killing".
"Playing games? There is something I want to tell you. Since you will be busy, let's talk about it tomorrow night."
Another "stop for me" emoji, followed by a "five minute fix" emoji.
Seiji waited.
five minutes later.
A girl with cat ears and a hood appeared on the screen.
"Just captured the most powerful castle in the whole server and became the supreme lord, hum~" Bihua was in a happy mood.
"Congratulations, the supreme lord is immortal!" Seiji made a congratulatory emoji sprinkled with flowers.
"This sentence feels weird... What are you going to say? Have you finished eating the fruit? Do you want to go to the spirit world again?"
"No, what I want to say is that I have become an onmyoji."
"Well?"
Bi Hua froze for a moment.
"What do you say...become?"
