Chapter 1127: The developments underway for both main characters

"As expected of my Onii-chan!"
Kotori's chirpy voice came from the other end of the earpiece. Wu Yan wondered why she's so bouncy.
"It's not the first time I've heard this, why the sudden praise though?"
"Ha?"
"Isn't it obvious? You just progressed along Miku's route!"
"Miku's route?"
Wu Yan blinked in surprise.
"What did I do? When did I make progress?"
Kotori's voice died down. After that, she praised him again.
"As expected of my Onii-chan!"
"I don't even..."
Wu Yan shook his head.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Kotori said.
"I did?"
Wu Yan scratched his cheek.
"Don't tell me it's because I gave her my number?"
"Yeah!"
Kotori continued.
"That move alone brought your familiarity level over 50%!"
"over 50%?"
Wu Yan was intrigued.
"What does that mean?"
"Hmm..."
Kotori thought about it before answering.
"You're probably at the level of a crush, I guess?"
"What..."
Wu Yan pursed his lips.
"Man, I thought it was something better than that, only around the level of a crush, huh?"
"Are you forgetting Miku's nature?"
Kotori retorted.
"She hates men, she also lost hope in humanity. You're probably the first one to reach that level in her heart."
"Oh?"
Wu Yan grinned. He puffed his chest out.
"Now isn't that quite something..."
"Don't get cocky too early."
Kotori poured cold water on him.
"You're still unable to get Miku to seal her spirit powers."
"True..."
Wu Yan rubbed his nose before sighing.
"Seriously, is there a way to seal her powers by her own volition?"
"That's up to you..."
Kotori lowered her voice.
"The way I see it, we need to solve her mental blocks, cure her despair over humanity. Curing her dysphonia is the only way."
"Easier said than done..."
Wu Yan knocked on the earpiece.
"If it were you, would you be able to trust and forgive the people who once betrayed you?"
"Right, and it's up to you..."
Kotori snickered.
"Since you can change her opinion of you, you should be able to take her down if you put more effort into this. When you get her to that point, she will do anything you say, right?"
"Why do I feel like that's not something you should say..."
Wu Yan's lip twitched.
"I just want to seal Miku's powers..."
"Subjugating her is also a nice bonus."
Kotori giggled.
"Don't tell me you don't feel anything for her, that's only going to make me judge you..."
"Ahaha..."
Wu Yan laughed awkwardly.
"Fine, you got me..."
Kotori still shot verbal jabs at him.
"You're still a jerk."
Wu Yan fell to the ground. The siblings, or rather, lovers, quarreled all the way back to the Itsuka residence.
Wu Yan uttered "Tadaima" when he entered the doorway. He headed for the living room.
Wu Yan wanted to go back to his room. However, the scene in the living room caught his attention.
Kurumi, Tohka, Yoshino, and Shiori surrounded the table with hyped looks.
There were packages on the table. The ladies took no time at all to unwrap the packages.
Wu Yan walked over with a curious look.
"What are you girls doing?"
"Nn?"
Kurumi, Yoshino, Tohka, and Shiori finally noticed Wu Yan's return.
"Ah, you're back."
"I am..."
Wu Yan nodded. He sat between Kurumi and Tohka. He looked at the items within the package.
"This..."
He took out the articles in the package.
"Wafuku?"
"Wafuku?"
Kotori also followed.
"Why are there Wafukus here?"
"Why do we have Wafuku here?"
Wu Yan repeated Kotori's question.
"These clothes are prepared for the upcoming Tanabata festival!"
"Tanabata?"
Kotori realized the message Shiori tried to convey.
"There's a festival in just a few days?"
"Double seven's coming up, that's Tanabata, what's the matter with you?"
Shiori rolled her eyes at Wu Yan, she can't believe Wu Yan forgot an event like the Tanabata festival.
"The Tanabata festival is held on the night of the lunar calendar's double seven. Everybody in Tengu City knows that, Shido, have you never participated in one before?"
"Yeah! I never joined one!"
Wu Yan admitted.
"I am not a Tengu resident..."
"Me too!"
Tohka picked up her Wafuku.
"Shiori said there are going to be many stalls with good food during the festival..."
"Shido!"
Tohka turned towards Wu Yan while drooling.
"Let's go to that festival!"
"I-I want to joint oo..."
Yoshino raised her arm while blushing. Her beautiful eyes glistened with excitement.
"I want to see the fireworks!"
"You two want to go, huh?"
Wu Yan mused out loud. He grinned at Kurumi.
"Kurumi, you going?"
"Ara, why not?"
Kurumi tilted her head. She placed her finger to her lips.
"The Tanabata is a special day for lovers. How can I miss it when I want to browse the festival with hubby-sama?"
"I see..."
Wu Yan nodded.
"Let's all go together!"
Kurumi, Tohka, and Yoshino laughed at the same time. A phone call interrupted Shiori.
"Sorry..."
She picked up the call.
"Hello, who's this?"
After a short pause, an emotionless voice came from the other side of the phone.
"It's me."
"Eh..."
Shiori gasped.
"Origami-san!"
The living room became silent...
Everyone's looking at Shiori, the pressure caused her to sweat profusely.
"I-is there anything I can help you with? Origami-san..."
"Tanabata."
Origami said curtly.
"I want to go with you."
"What?..."
Shiori remembered what happened the last time she went shopping with Origami. Shiori couldn't turn Origami down in time.
"After I set the time, I will call you again."
Origami ended the phone call, not giving Shiori a chance to say anything.
Shiori lowered her arms like a convict set for the gallows. She looked at Wu Yan & co, hoping they would throw her a life ring.
Cough
Wu Yan cleared his throat.
"Since Shiori's got a date that day, we will go without her!"
"Okay!"
Kurumi, Tohka, and Yoshino said at the same time. They went out of the living room under Wu Yan's leadership.
Shiori got left behind as she slowly turned to dust. Her soul left her body...
