"It's pretty just a little bit of dressing up. ”

"That's ...... Isn't that fancy?"

Looking at the girl in the mirror, Mio couldn't help but show a confused expression.

Now Mio has changed into a light and fluttering dress, which is embellished with a lot of lace and lace, and it looks quite gorgeous.

"Of course not, it's not strange in this world. Otowa said with a smile.

"Is that so......"

Although there was still a slight doubt on her face, Mio nodded.

Mio is already cute, and her face is very delicate. Coupled with the two characteristics of being well-behaved and not good at words, it is like a puppet of equal body.

After pulling her into a chair in the dressing room, Otoha suddenly felt something awaken in her body, as if she was a child who had found a new toy, and after a while, Otoha dressed Mio as she is now.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Hmmm......"

Mio just nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

"Who's that, on tea~"

"Obey~"

The door to the room was slowly pushed open, and Lis, dressed as a maid, walked into the room.

After Otowa complained to Su Baiyu once, this guy finally realized his RB〇 identity, and his service attitude has also improved greatly.

Lisi slowly put down the plate in her hand, and poured black tea for the two of them in an elegant posture.

“…… Thank you"

"It is my pleasure to serve you. ”

Mio obviously didn't know the essence of Lis's guy, and deliberately thanked her.

However, Lisi still has a bit of a B number in her heart, and she didn't swell because of this. After giving Mio a salute, she obediently exited the room.

"Is there anything you want to do in the coming days, Mio?"

Otowa gently picked up the teacup, and then spoke with some curiosity.

"What do you want to do......" Mio thought for a moment before she said slowly, "I don't think so, as long as I can be with Otowa, I'm happy." ”

"Anyway, how old is Mio this year?"

As if remembering something, Otoha suddenly spoke.

"I don't remember exactly...... It's about 15 years old, right?"

"15 years old, this is the age when you should study in school......" Otowa paused slightly, then asked with a smile, "So, how about going to school?"

“…… I don't really like crowded places. ”

Otowa had a good idea, but Mio was clearly not happy.

"That's a bit of a problem......"

She's going to hunt down Sakiba after that, and she has to find a way to settle Mio before that.

"Otowa ...... Are you disgusting me?"

Mio is just not good at words, but his IQ is still fine, and he guessed Otowa's intentions at once.

"Of course not, it's just that Mio has already endured too much. Otowa took a shallow sip of black tea, and then continued: "Moreover, this is my fateful battle with her, and I don't want to ...... other people Especially Mio is involved. ”

"Otowa is really gentle......"

Mio nodded softly and didn't say anything more.

Knock Knock –

At that moment, there was a knock on the side door.

"Please come in. ”

After feeling this familiar mental fluctuation, a smile suddenly appeared on Otowa's face.

"Mom—"

The door to the room was pushed open, and a silver-haired lori rushed towards Otowa, and then threw herself straight into her arms.

The person who came was none other than Yukino, the "daughter" that Otowa picked up from Su Baiyu's base last time.

Yukino is a dignified and elegant image in front of outsiders, but now she has turned into a clingy kitten and rubbed happily in Otowa's arms.

In terms of blood relationship, this guy should be Otowa's sister, but Yukino wants to call Otowa her mother. After many corrections to no avail, Otowa could only acquiesce to her title.

“…… Mom?"

Mio tilted her head slightly, and the gaze she looked at Otoha became strange.

To have such a big daughter at this age, it's so easy to think crookedly.

"Mio, let me introduce you, this is my sister Yukino. ”

Otowa touched Yukino's head, and then spoke with a smile on his face.

"It's obviously my daughter!" Yukino immediately protested.

"Probably understood......

After listening to Otowa's words, Mio breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yukino, this is a new member of our family, let's say hello to Sister Mio. ”

"Hello sister-"

Yukino is still very sensible...... At least in front of Otowa, he immediately turned around and saluted Mio, who was sitting across from him.

"Hello ......"

Mio's voice wasn't very loud, but neither of them was an ordinary person, so it wasn't difficult to identify at all.

"Sister, you are so beautiful, can you tell me how you dress up?"

"When I dress up......

"Uh-huh!"

……

Unexpectedly, Yukino has a great interest in Mio for some reason, and after a while, he took the initiative to become friends with her. By the time Otowa came back to his senses, the two of them were already playing in the garden.

In a sense, Yukino also solved a big problem for Otoha, and it was relieved to have Mio Otoha with his peers.

After dealing with Mio's side of things, Otowa can finally start preparing for the hunt for Sakiha.

She just snapped her fingers, waited outside for a long time, and then Liz pushed open the door to the room, and walked up to her unhurriedly.

"Prepare a shuttle, I'm going out. ”

"As you wish. ”

Liz nodded, and ran out of the room as fast as she could.

……

Oarai Town, Oarai Women's College, Office of the Minister of Armor.

"Minister, this is our financial report for this month. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, let's put it aside. ”

Himeko lifted her head, then shifted her gaze from the document to Natsuki with a smile on her face.

"It's not hard at all. ”

Natsuki quickly sorted out the documents in her hand, and then neatly placed them on the corner of Himeko's desk.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Himeko's expression change, Natsuki suddenly became nervous.

(It must be that there was a mistake in the sorting of the documents, what should I do...... I'm going to be considered a careless woman by the minister!)

"Well, I seem to have forgotten something. Himeko smiled, and then said a little embarrassed: "Can you please Natsuki for the matter here?"

"Ah, okay!"

Natsuki nodded in some consternation, and then just watched Himiko leave the department.

(What is it that could make the Minister act in such an unusual way.) ）
