"Good morning, sister Kagura." After looking at each other briefly, Qianqiu greeted with a kind smile.
"Good morning." Xiaoshi responded calmly, then sat next to Seiji and poured tea for herself.
It's the same as usual... If there is any difference, it's that the sitting position is a little closer to Seiji.
Meijia blinked and looked at Qianqiu.
Qianqiu smiled.
"Xiaoshi, you came just in time." Seiji forcefully ignored the subtle atmosphere, "I have something important to tell you."
He explained the blood wine ceremony to his righteous sister, including Xia Ye and Weimeng.
Kagura listened silently, her eyes flickering.
"... Activate this card, sign your name and mine, and you're joining the war." Seiji said at the end, showing her the red card in his hand.
"Then start it. As my brother's shikigami, I will fight for my brother with all my strength!" Kagura Shi said firmly in a calm tone, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
This aura was so strong that she seemed to be shining... To put it bluntly, she was handsome!
My step-sister is so handsome.
"Thank you, Xiaoshi." Seiji expressed his gratitude sincerely, and then entered the psychic energy into the card.
Immediately, the white lines on the participation card lit up, projecting a complex array, which then transformed into a screen with large red characters listed on it.
It's the instructions for participating in the Blood Wine Ritual!
Seiji read it carefully, and Kagurashi, Mika, and Chiaki also looked at it seriously.
After spending some time reading all of them, the summary I came up with is—
The units participating in the war are in groups of two, and the contract of participation in the war can only be established if two people sign together with a clear fighting intention and awareness.
If the signing of the contract fails, there is one and only chance to sign it again. If you fail again, the battle card will become invalid immediately.
If the contract is successfully signed, it is determined to participate in the war, and you cannot give up without authorization, otherwise you will be severely punished by the contract.
It is expected that 64 groups with a total of 128 people will participate in the battle.
The first round of battle: All participating units are divided into red and blue teams for team battles. After one team defeats the other, it enters the next round.
The second round of battle: Each participating unit will have a one-on-one duel, and the winner will be the final winner.
Conceding defeat will be punished by the contract, and the degree of punishment varies according to the situation.
Admitting defeat without a serious fight will be punished most severely. If you fight seriously, if you really lose to your opponent and admit defeat, the punishment will be relatively light.
When one of the participating units loses the ability to fight, the other can reasonably admit defeat and will not be punished. When both of them are incapable of fighting, it is judged to be a failure.
The organizer distributes "life talismans" to all participants, which will be activated automatically when the participants' lives are dying, forming a powerful protective and healing barrier.
Once the life talisman is triggered, the holder will be judged to have failed immediately, and other participants will not be able to carry out any more offensive actions, otherwise they will not only receive the most severe contract punishment, but also bear the corresponding consequences, and the organizer will not be held responsible.
"It's a bit harsh to admit defeat only after one person falls down," Qianqiu said.
"It should be the ceremony that requires this."
"First divide into two parties, and after one party is eliminated, the rest will go one-on-one... Is this also required for the ceremony?" Mei Jia wondered.
"It may be... or it may be that the organizer thinks that this format will allow the participants to perform better." Seiji touched his chin.
There is a relatively large space for team battles, and there will be more variables.
Sixty-four groups with a total of 128 people engaged in a melee... Compared to defeating the opponent, the more important thing is to save yourself!
It's like desperately trying to survive. Compared with the number of enemies killed, it is more important to survive, and only by living to the end can you successfully eat the chicken.
The essence of eating chicken games is survival! Instead of killing the enemy or doing tricks to die... Cough, don't be distracted.
"Issuing the 'life talisman' to all participants... seems to be a very precious charm. Although I don't know how effective it is, it is always a final guarantee." He looked at the projection screen again.
"Don't take too many risks just because you have such a guarantee." Qianqiu warned.
"certainly."
Then the scene fell silent.
"Xiaoshi, do you have anything to say?" Seiji looked at his righteous sister.
Kagura shook her head.
"Then... sign it." Seiji followed the instructions and squeezed the card hard.
Immediately, the text displayed on the screen changed, showing the incantation of the war contract.
After reading it carefully, I confirmed that it was the same as what was stated in the previous explanation.
Seiji pinched the card again.
The contract instantly transformed into a black and red mysterious formation diagram, with two blank spaces on it, where the signatures were placed.
Seiji raised his hand, Xiaoshi also raised his hand, Qi Qi pointed to the signature.
Immediately, the array started to rotate, flashing a white streamer, and at the same time, the voice of a female voice chanting a mantra was faintly heard, which felt like a ceremony.
The two solemnly wrote their names.
In the next second, the formation bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and suddenly turned into two strands of mist, wrapping around the palms of Seiji and Xiaoshi respectively, forming a blood-red miniature formation in the palms.
The war contract was successfully signed!
Seiji looked at the imprint on his palm, then looked at Xiaoshi's.
The two bloody marks quickly disappeared. The white lines on the participation card disappeared, and the card gradually turned black, and then it became invalid.
"The next step is to prepare for the battle... Let's work hard together, Xiaoshi."
"Well, brother."
"The goal is to win, but you don't have to win, so don't be too stressed." Seiji said sincerely.
"Brother..." Kagura Shi's eyes flickered.
"Just work hard, don't force yourself."
Winning is important, but not as important as you. He conveyed this to her with his eyes.
Kagura Shi understood it, warmth surged in her heart, and a trace of tenderness appeared on her face.
Seeing this scene, Mika and Chiaki truly realized the position of Sister Kagura in Seiji's heart.
Although I knew it a long time ago, I was still a little jealous.
…
"How is it going?"
"Haruta Seiji of the Haruta family and Tendao Shigure of the Tendao family have signed a contract to participate in the war."
"The 'waste' from the Springfield family and the 'imbecile' from the Tiandao family... seem to want to prove themselves. Hehe, with them participating in the battle, at least this ceremony won't be too boring."
"These two names are just opposite, like destined opponents."
"'Like' can be removed, they are destined opponents."
"Why?"
"Haruta Seiji's older sister, Haruta Yuimu, killed Tendō Shigure's older brother, Tendō Raishin."
"I see… "
"The names are opposite, the circumstances are similar, and there is a karma of hatred, hehe... It's like an old enemy in a shounen manga. I just don't know which is the protagonist and which is the villain."
"Should Shigure be the main character, his brother was killed."
"It can't be said for sure. Only the gods know who is who."
