I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Shiki...Shiki...you're here..."

Kurokawa Kazuya said awkwardly.

The door to the side was opened, and Ryougi Shiki walked in: "Of course I'm here."

"Um...when did it start?"

"It started when you said 'Shiki is cute,'" Ryougi Shiki said, her face slightly flushed.

"Wasn't that already there from the beginning... Ha... Haha."

Ryougi Shiki looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and sighed, "Honestly, I thought something was wrong, Akitaka was being so mysterious... I didn't expect to see this as soon as I arrived, how embarrassing."

"So, Shiki, what about you? You've been listening from the beginning, haven't you? What are your thoughts?" the head of the Ryougi family asked. "Now, the choice is entirely in your hands."

"...What...you just said something like this without my permission, how cunning! You've already gone this far, how am I supposed to refuse?"

"So... that means you agree?"

"I guess so." Ryougi said, pausing for a moment, then continued, "Ah, that's it. I agree, which means—"

Ryougi Shiki looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and said, "Then, you'll be mine from now on, right?"

"Hmm? Ah... um... yes... that's right... that's right, from now on I'm yours, Shiki..." Kurokawa Kazuya smiled: "However, from now on you're mine too. No matter what, no matter what happens, I will never let you leave."

"So... can we confirm it now?" The head of the Ryougi family looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and said, "You've already agreed to marry into the Ryougi family, and Shiki has no objections, right?"

"Yes."

"That's fine then."

"However, Shi is still too young now, and the actual wedding will have to wait for two more years. But in the meantime, how about we get engaged first?"

The head of the Ryougi family said that, in any case, the legal marriage age for women in Japan is 16 years or older.

The format is still two years away.

"I understand, but it's better to talk about these things later, right? It's too early..." Ryougi Shiki said with a sigh.

"Since there are no objections, let's leave it at that for now. We'll discuss the engagement details and decide on a date later." The head of the Ryougi family said, looking at Kurokawa Kazuya: "How's things at your company? Do you have time?"

We've come this far.

Kurokawa Kazuya glanced at Ryougi Shiki standing to the side...

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me? I'm asking you a question, aren't I?" Ryougi Shiki waved her hand.

"Hmm... Ah, I have time." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded: "I always have time."

"I see." The head of the Ryougi family smiled again: "I feel like I haven't smiled as much as I have in the past year... I can rest assured that I'm entrusting Shiki to you. In my view, the mission of the Ryougi family has been successfully completed."

"Father..."

"The rest is up to you, Shiki, whether it's a continuation of the Ryougi family or something else... but it doesn't seem like a problem at all. Right?"

The head of the Ryougi family looked at Kurokawa Kazuya once again as he spoke.

That's right... Whether from the perspective of strength or economy, the Ryougi family will become better after Kurokawa and Miya marry into the family.

Its influence will rise once again.

"I understand." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded, but he didn't really care. He didn't intend to interfere too much in the lives of those around him; everyone had their own ideas.

No one is anyone's appendage.

So even when his own sister wanted to stay in that dangerous world, he only said "refusal" and did not force her to do anything.

The same applies to the formula...

The same applies if we have children in the future.

However... it's okay to just agree a little.

not to mention...

Whether the world can hold out until then is another question.

“That puts my mind at ease.” The head of the Ryougi family said in a tone as if he were about to die, “I will remain in this position for a while longer. Kurokawa, even if you marry into the family, our Ryougi family will not interfere with your company. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you have your own needs.”

"Hmm... In that case, I'll help you out. Although I have arranged some people, it still takes a lot of effort... Except for the current animation production department, which is just a hobby of mine, everything else is fine." Kurokawa Kazuya smiled and said, "By the way, it would be great if Mr. Akitaka could help me manage it."

"...So, you've practically lost everything... Don't you care?"

"No, because I have already got everything."

"Idiot! What are you saying?!" Ryougi Shiki, who had been listening nearby, suddenly stood up and ran out.

"Hmph...Alright, let's go after them." The head of the Ryougi family said to Kurokawa Kazuya.

"Then, I'll be rude," Kurokawa Kazuya said, chasing after them.

The head of the Ryougi family slowly watched Kurokawa Kazuya's departing figure: "What a lucky guy..."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and opened the door to the side.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Several people were sitting there, not a trace of their presence showing... They were old-fashioned people who would not interfere with his power as the head of the family, and would only act when the Liangyi family was in danger.

However... the continuation of the Ryougi family is also related to this matter.

"Yes, I didn't expect Kurokawa to agree so easily."

"Hmm...it seems he's been infatuated with that child for a long time...that means our Ryougi family can continue once again. But...what about the next generation? Shiki doesn't seem like the type to agree to these things. If Shiki doesn't agree, Kurokawa won't agree either, right?"

The head of the Liangyi family twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth; he naturally knew what these people were talking about.

The Ryougi family possesses the technology to create multiple personalities.

Currently, the most successful example is Ryougi Shiki...

Furthermore, despite having such a personality and the urge to kill, she still lived like a normal person. She should have been lonely, but she always had someone by her side.

I even witnessed all sorts of things.

Traveling between several worlds.

However... it still can't change the fact that the Ryougi family's technology has its own limitations. He agreed back then... but will Shiki agree?

That can't be...

Compared to a traditional family like the Ryougi family, she, who has almost always been by Kurokawa Kazuya's side, seems more like an ordinary person, rather than concerned with the family's technology or its continuation...

Perhaps, the safety of my future children is more important.

"It's still a long way off. When the time comes... you can talk to Shiki yourselves. This is no longer something I can decide."

Chapter 354 The Clock Tower

"Shiki...Shiki—are you alright, Shiki?" Kurokawa Kazuya knocked on the door.

"Stop nagging! It's late, I'm going to sleep—" Kurokawa Kazuya sighed as he looked at the room with the lights off, and sat down by the door without leaving.

About thirty minutes have passed.

The door in front of them was slowly pulled open.

"Yo, Shiki—"

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Ryougi Shiki said, taking a step back in surprise.

"What? Are you angry?"

Kurokawa Kazuya slowly stood up as he spoke.

"No! I was just saying why I'm angry with you... honestly..." Ryougi Shiki sighed, dissatisfied. "But... yeah, don't say such nonsense all the time. I... I can't help but feel like killing you."

"Hmm... Don't worry, this is the only thing that doesn't require control."

"Really... Alright, is there anything else?" Ryougi Shiki opened the door and sat back on the bed not far from the doorway.

"No, since I saw you run out, isn't following up the most basic thing?" Kurokawa Kazuya walked straight in and closed the door.

"Hey, Kurokawa... no, from now on I'll call you Kazuya, right?"

"Ah, that's right. After all, I'll be changing my surname to Ryougi soon... Kurokawa will be a thing of the past."

“Is that so…” Ryougi Shiki stared at Kurokawa Kazuya for a while and said, “Hmm… the pronunciation of [kazuya] is not bad either. But… it’s okay if you don’t want to change it… I don’t mind.”

"No, but that would be too much trouble, and there's always the possibility of accidents. Anyway, I don't really care... It sounds a bit cunning, but after all, there's Kazumi." Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile.

In any case, he was never a person of this world.

Kurokawa is not his original surname...

He didn't care about these things.

A name is just a label, and some people might value it highly. But... he's not like that. As long as you're used to it, it's fine whatever you choose, but... it's best to avoid changing your name too often.

After all, it takes quite a bit of effort to become familiar with a name.

Whether it's someone else or yourself...

He had just transmigrated, and after returning from the Ryougi family, someone spoke to him, calling him "Kurokawa"... At the time, he was a little confused, "Kurokawa? Who's that?"

I guess... I'll experience something like that again someday.

He felt as if he had witnessed such a situation.

"Hey, Ryougi. Ryougi!" "Huh? Ah...you're calling me again?" Ryougi Kazuya was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had changed her name...

In this situation...

But... you'll get used to it.

“Kazuya…” Ryougi Shiki said after a moment of silence, “Stay in my room tonight…”

"...Ah, okay."

The night passed slowly, and the sun gradually rose.

Nothing happened...
