After the meeting ended and everyone left, Seiji had Shika take Shinobu to the underground training field for some practice.
Seiji and Natsuya were now the only two remaining in the living room. The two of them quietly sipped some tea.
"I've decided to join Soul Society," Natsuya suddenly spoke up as she looked at her boyfriend. "I wouldn't have made such a decision without your encouragement. That's why you need to take responsibility for me."
Seiji detected that Natsuya was intentionally acting slightly spoiled. He blinked and smiled faintly.
"Alright, how do you want me to take responsibility?"
"Take me in if my family exiles me."
"I'd be more than happy to… in fact, I would be absolutely delighted to!"
Natsuya rolled her eyes.
"I don't wish for your family to exile you, but that's what I truly think." Seiji smiled, then retracted his smile. "Still, will it really come to such a thing?"
