"No... No..."
Sakai Eriya fell back in horror, moving his body: "I don't understand, why did you choose me... I'm not willing to die for your ritual, I absolutely can't do it, you've chosen the wrong person!"
The head of the Tsuchimikado family sat up straight again: "Mr. Sakai, you and Kimimaru Seiji are like father and son."
"What... what did you do to Seiji!"
"That young man is doing well now and will continue to be well. As long as Mr. Sakai is willing to follow our arrangements, you will meet before the ritual. We will let that young man leave."
"You're using Seiji to threaten me?"
"No, or rather, not entirely." Tsuchimikado Taifuku shook his head, "I know you are a pure scholar, even during your captivity by Kawai, you immersed yourself in recording everything here and browsing those scrolls."
"So, so what?"
