A few lines of text appeared in front of Seiji.

'Spiritual Power statistic? Spiritual Abilities options!?'

Seiji's system suddenly reminded him of its existence and helped him to come back to his senses.

Although he was quite curious about his new abilities, it currently wasn't a good time for him to check them out.

Seiji smiled back at Shika, who was smiling so movingly.

"Calling me that... seems a little embarrassing."

He softly hugged the girl and slowly pulled her closer.

Wait a moment! Was this akin to some type of shameless role-playing?

He wanted to stop himself but couldn't... Eh? Was that the correct usage of this phrase?

'Forget it! Who cares? I'll just die in shame!'

"I thought that you'd forgotten completely, so I didn't want to burden you any further. That's why I didn't tell you..." Seiji paused for a moment. "But Chiaki, the silver-haired girl in your sketch... er, she always likes to wear the boys' school uniform, so Shika-chan... might've mistaken her for a boy when you had amnesia. At any rate, she pointed out that I was making a huge mistake, which was why I wanted to explain everything to you now. That's why..."
