Eternal Seal

"Kobato-chan! I'm back! Ha ha ha! You are still so cute today!"

"Ah! Stupid! Don't pounce on me!"

"Hey! Misaki, be careful, don't go too far."

Hearing the sudden commotion, Asahi probably understood that the other two residents, Misaki and Jin had returned.

A scream of joy so lively and energetic that it rang out all the way, no one else but Misaki could do it.

"Onii-chan! Help!"

Kobato's cries for help came from downstairs, and Asahi walked down the stairs unhurriedly.

In the living room on the first floor, a girl with short brown hair was pressing Kobato on the sofa, and was frantically rubbing her cheeks: "Ah! Very cute! How can this kid be so cute!"

"Let go... let me go! Stupid human!" Kobato could barely hold back the tears that were about to burst out: "Otherwise I'll show you the true power of dark magic!"

Misaki didn't take it seriously: "Hmph, that kind of thing is useless to me."

Kobato showed an unbelievable expression: "No... No way! I am the True Ancestor of the Vampire Race."

Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she pretended to be fine and said: "Kukuku, really, lowly beings always deny facts. You humans can't resist my power, waiting to be swallowed up by my dark magic power!"

"Annexation? Kobato, it's better to use idioms this time," Misaki pointed out her grammar mistakes with a smile.

Immediately, Kobato's momentum weakened for a moment: "I, who have lived for over 10,000 years, have cultivated a language system that is different from humans! That's right! Ordinary human language can't possibly restrain a great True Ancestor."

"Uh, is that so?"

"O-of course!"

Kobato, who had to make excuses, looked like a poor princess under the threat of a great demon.

But in reality, for Kobato, who was just playing with her imagination to her heart's content, there were many gaps in her words.

"Okay, don't bully Kobato." Asahi took the initiative to come and take Misaki's back collar.

The rescued Kobato looked at her big brother with tears in her eyes, and rushed forward.

While comforting Kobato, Asahi looked at Jin, who was carrying large and small bags at the dining table, then expressed surprise: "So many?"

"Isn't Chihiro-sensei's cousin going to join Sakurasou Dormitory, so the traditional way of greeting can't be lost."

Placing the bag filled with lots of meat and vegetables on the dining table, Jin looked into Misaki's eyes and said:

"So, I went with Misaki to discuss the script, and when I came back, we went to the supermarket together."

But after Misaki turned her head, she held her indulgent expression very well, and returned to her usual composure.

Asahi saw it all in his eyes, he didn't say anything about the relationship between the two.

Jin had fine brown hair and a slender and tall figure, one could feel his courage when he was around him, but his whole exuded a gentle feeling.

Neatly designed glasses give off an intellectual impression, and this third year student is handsome even according to Asahi.

No wonder he is so popular, but he also has boundaries that can't be touched.

It's clear the two of them love each other, but because of his low self-esteem, he can't accept Misaki's feelings.

"This is Chihiro Sensei's cousin, Shiina Mashiro, I'm Mitaka Jin." Jin nodded slightly towards Mashiro, who followed Asahi downstairs, his attitude was neither friendly nor cold.

"Mashiro-chan has arrived! Ahaha! Welcome to Sakurasou!" Shifting her attention from Kobato to Mashiro, Misaki's eyes lit up, and she jumped off the sofa like a cheetah on sight of its prey.

Then she looked around.

"I have a new neighbor besides Kobato, will she come to spend the night with me? Or invite me to spend the night? Unlike Kobato, is she going to discuss love with me?"

"Wow! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

It seemed that some terrible words came out, and Kobato was immediately like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and screamed desperately: "Stupid, stupid, stupid! Misaki, stupid!"

Then she blushed and ran to the stairs in an instant, but seemed to have forgotten something, and ran back to pick up the stuffed rabbit that had fallen on the sofa, and ran back to the second floor again and locked herself in the room.

"Is Kobato angry?"

Mashiro made a small sound like a gentle breeze, and although the volume was not loud, the tone was clear, as if the sound itself had a connotation. But his emotional expression was still faint.

Asahi shook his head: "No, she's just shy, I'll go up and have a look, Jin, I'll leave the preparation of the hot pot to you."

Jin gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

There was no activity, Misaki bothered Mashiro to ask something, maybe she couldn't help.

Climbing the stairs, Asahi arrived at the door of Room 203. On the outside of the door was a doorplate with the words "Kobato's room" in bright red handwriting, and there were black bat-shaped decorations around it.

He tried turning the door, but it was unlocked: "Kobato, I'm coming in."

He turned the handle and walked into the room.

As far as the girls' room is concerned, this is a very bad environment. There are posters of the anime "Necromancer" everywhere on the walls, as well as stickers of magic circles that appear in the anime.

In addition, the room is decorated with items such as crosses or skull keychains that appear in anime, character cell phone charms, and so on.

Mixed in with these are Sanskrit incantations, which are plastered on the walls as if they surround the entire room.

To be honest, it might not be acceptable in the eyes of an ordinary person, but Asahi understands chuunibyou very well, and he is very good at fantasy light novels.

Seeing Kobato place her favorite anime peripherals in the room, Asahi felt that it was no big deal, as long as his little sister was happy.

Across the door was the children's desk Kobato had used since elementary school, with textbooks and notes strewn across it.

On the bookshelf attached to the table, she carefully placed the gift Asahi had bought for her after he had been paid for the light novel.

The surface of each piece is very smooth, but there are no defects, and the owner should always take good care of it.

Only the broken music box and the magic wand sealed in the cupboard attracted more attention. Even though his owner tried his best to recover it, she still couldn't do it.

Looking at the broken music box, Asahi can't help but remember the exciting events of two years ago.

It was the first gift he gave his little sister when he received his first light novel fee.

Kobato was so happy then, holding the music box in her hand every day, always looking at it and smiling for some reason.

But then, after accidentally breaking the music box with a stick during a role play session, Kobato cried for a long time.

It took Asahi a long time to persuade his little sister, but Kobato vowed never to use a cane again. In Kobato's words, it was an "Eternal Seal".
