Nineteen o'clock in the evening, a supermarket.

"Yo, 'immortal stupid', it's been a long time!"

A young man with a bald head smiled brightly when he saw Haruhara.

"There's no way, there's a lot going on today, and I have to go to 'work' before dinner...... And don't call me such a strange name, bald! ”

Haruhara, who was carrying a guitar case on his back, glared disapprovingly at the bald head who greeted him familiarly.

"You should be happy, 'Immortal Fool'. You're one of the few 'wolves' with a special title in this home field tonight! And as the only man who has ever taken away the 'laurel crown' from the hands of the 'Martial Emperor', you are quite famous~"

The bald head patted Haruhara's shoulder without hesitation.

"That horrible woman...... But now I'm not the weaker person I used to be, and if that woman shows up, I'll let her know what it's like to fail! ”

Haruhara said viciously, swallowing as he looked at the 'Hokkaido Fried Chicken Bento' that was about to be added to the half-price state.

If nothing else, this appetizing bento is today's 'Laurel Crown'.

-- No one knows exactly when it started, but the 'half-price bento battle' does exist and continues even today.

Although there are no express regulations, it is said that there are several unwritten rules that arise naturally, such as:

・You can't sneak away before the half-price god leaves the store.

・Do not hunt more than you eat that night.

・Do not attack non-hunters.

・Cannot attack someone who has already acquired prey.

・Do not add to the trouble of the store.

Etcetera.

But even with these provisions, everything can be condensed in the following sentence:

・Follow etiquette and gamble your dignity.

Rather than condensing, it may be appropriate to say that this sentence is the basis of all the rules, and then derive more specific and detailed provisions from it.

If you don't follow these rules, you'll be called a pig and be ridiculed, or a wolf. And people who come to the scene to ask for bento boxes without knowing the situation, or novices who look like laymen, are called dogs.

Haruhara once became a 'wolf' at the bottom of the combat power for some strange reasons, and the only thing worthy of praise is the vitality of Xiaoqiang and the speed that is considered to be the top among football players.

This battle for half-price bento is a kind of training that Haruhara has been participating in a lot until recently. It is this kind of 'training' that has allowed Haruhara to slowly grow from a battle scum to a level where he can fight against relatively strong elementary school students.

- Of course, most of the training time was spent taking beatings.

It is worth mentioning that in a half-price bento battle, Haruhara was severely beaten by a silver-haired girl with strong combat power who did not look like a human. In the end, because Haruhara, who was kicked away by the girl, miraculously landed in the position of the girl's desired 'laurel crown' bento, Haruhara won the first half-price bento in his life - and it was taken from the hand of the girl who was never defeated in the legend and was called 'Emperor Wu'.

Haruhara became famous all of a sudden, and because he was able to get up in a few minutes every time he was beaten badly, and the reason why he would become vigorous the next day, was that he got the title of "immortal stupid" - of course, Haruhara had a lot of opinions on this title, even if it was "immortal", how did "stupid" come about?!!

"That's... Could it be... Two-Headed Demon Dog! The two-headed demon dog is also here! Damn! ”

The bald head suddenly let out a dissatisfied 'tsk' sound.

There are already a few 'wolves' ready to leave.

A pair of twin sisters, who look as delicate as dolls, walk into the supermarket and casually pick up the food basket and go to the cooked bento area.

"Oh, it's been a long time, I didn't expect your bereaved dog to come over today, it's so happy to make us pull ☆~"

"But you're really desperate, usually as long as we beat you so badly, everyone is so afraid that they run away with their tails between their legs......"

"You see, even the wolves here haven't actually fought us, so just hearing the rumors is afraid of becoming such a virtuous person."

"I didn't expect you to dare to continue to fight us...... I have a high opinion of this dedication. Na, na, stupid, which bento are your goals for today? ”

The twin sisters, whose names they don't know can only be barely distinguished by their hairstyles, alternate one by one.

Their tones sounded uncontrollable with joy, as if they wanted to scorn Haruhin but couldn't fully follow through, but instead had the meaning of praise.

There have been a few times before when I was really beaten up badly by these two guys, but compared to the silver-haired 'Martial Emperor' girl who seemed to be going to fight with Haruhara endlessly, that level of attack was nothing.

"I'm here today—but I'm here for the 'laurel crown'!"

Haruhara confidently announced.

The current Chunyuan is not the scum of the past with a combat power of only 1.

Victory or defeat, there is no suspense at all. Today's Haruhara just stopped by and took his own half-price bento.

"That's a coincidence, my goal is also the 'Laurel Crown'."

With the sudden sound of a girl, the atmosphere in the store suddenly tensed.

The waist-length silver hair swayed with the girl's advancing figure, and under the black headband, there was a cold, pretty and expressionless face. The deep blue eyes like a cold night quietly reflect the figure of Haruhara's guitar case on his back, and an unknown flame seems to be burning quietly in it.

The dark blue skirt of the school uniform swayed slightly in the cold air coming from the fresh and frozen food area, revealing her legs as white as snow.

But no matter how cold and glamorous the appearance is, it can't hide the girl's terrifying aura - although it does not carry any evil, it is cold and sharp as a terrifying murderous aura like a blade.

"'Emperor Wu'! It's the 'Martial Emperor'! It seems that we don't want to fight for the laurel today... And with the addition of the 'two-headed demon dog'... And the only 'immortal fool' who has defeated the 'Martial Emperor'......"

'Are you stupid too?' The 'stupid' of the immortal stupid guy means that this guy is clumsy, and defeating the 'Martial Emperor' is completely by luck! In fact, this guy has only gotten a half-price bento once, and it's useless except to be faster! ”

“… Miscellaneous... What the? Can you just become a title wolf? Even I'm much better than him! ”

"Cut, then you try to defeat Emperor Wu once?"

"Forget it, you're going to die......"

There was a whisper from among the 'wolves'.

The 'Two-Headed Demon Dog' seemed to have sparks flashing in his eyes, staring directly at the silver-haired girl with the title of 'Martial Emperor'.

Under the oppressive and serious gaze of the silver-haired girl, Haru turned his head to look at the location of the half-price bento.

Hum! The mere 'Martial God' is only at the level of a mortal!

Uncle Ben will definitely win...... Probably.

Thinking of the girl's non-human combat power, even the current Haruhin is inevitably a little hairy.

And this girl who seems to be just eyeing the 'immortal body' is probably here to vent her violence......

Haruhara, who was complaining about his thoughts, suddenly froze for a moment.

The 'half-price god' appeared...... It's something Haruhara didn't expect at all.,A very familiar person.。

――Green Mountains and Seven Seas!

A high school girl with long brown hair and a ponytail.

It's the one who has been cooperating with Yuri-chan.,Provide Haruhara-chan's daily life photos to Yuri-chan's daily life girl.,Haruhara's schoolgirl.。

I didn't expect Nanami-chan to have a part-time job in this kind of non-chain supermarket, and it was mixed to the height of 'half-price god'. From the perspective of part-time work, this child's talent is absolutely world-class!

You know, the code name of 'half-price god' is the symbol of the supermarket in the eyes of 'wolf'.

――Speaking of which, this is the first time Haruhara has seen a novice 'half-price god'.

As soon as Nanami walked into the store, the store was already full of murderous energy.

In the past, there was no such atmosphere before the half-price stickers were applied, but today it is different.

The silver-haired girl seems to want to beat Haruhara hard to release the pressure of life; The 'Two-Headed Demon Dog' twins have always wanted to challenge the strongest 'Martial Emperor' head-on, and Haru simply wants to eat the long-lost half-price, so of course he rushes to the countermeasures room as soon as possible to 'work'......

Nanami pulls out a half-price bento sticker with the laurel crown logo, and the atmosphere that has been peaceful until now suddenly turns to sabre-rattling.

Sure enough, the laurel crown is the 'Hokkaido fried chicken bento' in the Haruhara photo.

"Sister, it's about to start~"

"Okay, Jing, let's kill the 'stupid' first and then deal with the 'Martial Emperor'."

"yes, okay."

“…… Why?! ”

Listening to the unabashed strategy of the twin sisters beside him, Haruhara's glaring eyes.

"Because it's faster ☆~"

Because I don't know if the answer to the twin girls' answers in unison is that Haruhara is faster or that it is faster to solve Haruhara, Haruhara doesn't know how to answer for a while.

But judging from the clear and hairy eyes of the silver-haired girl on the other side, it was obvious that the girl also wanted to beat Haruhara first.

The bald head had long slipped aside without any righteousness, away from the terrible battle vortex centered on Haruhara.

Finally, Nanami finished labeling, and Ponytail swayed happily into the staff lounge.

The wolves are surrounding the bento, and in the muddy and heavy atmosphere, the murderous aura is circling in all directions - especially around the spring plain where the innocent lying gun x3 is.

As the door to the lounge slammed shut, the battle began in an instant.

Boom――――

The moment the 'circle' around him was invaded, the battle of Haruhara's battle was completely ignited.

The right fist collided with the powerful kick of the 'Martial Emperor' like a cannonball, and the left fist and left elbow struck the twin girl who invaded the air ring with rage.

The air vibrated so strongly that it could even be described as a shock wave.

This alone made the 'wolves' who were watching tingle.

In less than a second, the first confrontation that ordinary people's eyes could not capture at all was over.

The twin girls held the vegetable basket in their hands tightly to their chests, maintained a protective posture, and slid seven or eight meters on the smooth floor of the supermarket before stopping.

"I can't get close to ......"

"......'Stupid' has grown up."

"It's ......"

“…… It's so much fun~"

The two girls let out a childlike laugh and rushed up with a basket of vegetables.

Judging from the actions just now, the coordinated attack of the two sisters who broke into the dead corner almost at the same time was too strong. And the attack of the silver-haired girl 'Emperor Wu'...... If it weren't for the [Circle of Superiority (C)] skill, Haruha wouldn't even be able to react at all.

"I was almost knocked down by ordinary people...... What a failure. ”

Haruhara, who originally just wanted to take a half-price bento at an inhuman speed, shook his right fist and laughed helplessly.

"'Emperor Wu' is also ......"

A series of bursting waves of qi swept out layer by layer, and after the dazzling afterimage dissipated, the silver-haired girl with a solemn face stepped back half a step like a crossbow arrow ready to be fired, and stood quietly on one side.

"'Two-Headed Demon Dog' is also ......"

Like figure skaters, the twin girls unleashed gorgeous combos around the motionless Harubara with great skill, and even compressed Haruhara's protective circle by half at one point...... But the next moment, the compressed defensive circle seemed to explode, violently bouncing the petite body of the twin girl far away.

"Don't even try to snatch my lunch."

Haruhara said without turning around, casually raising his left hand and pulling back the blonde hair scattered in front of his forehead. Then he raised his head sharply and grinned at Bai Sensen's teeth, "Because--Uncle Ben is hungry!" ”

'Gollum ......'

It was just a hungry wail, but it was like the roar of a revived beast, with a terrifying domineering spirit, which made the whole supermarket quiet all of a sudden.

☆

"It's worthy of the noodles I soaked, the taste is really amazing!"

--After placing the guitar case on his side, Haruhara, he broke off his disposable chopsticks and sat down on a park bench to eat instant noodles.

Clam clam clam ...... There's no way around it......

From the current point of view, there are two conditions for [Air Domination (C)] to be activated: one is that it cannot actively attack, and the other is that it cannot move.

Otherwise, the protective effect will be lost.

If you move casually, you will definitely be kicked away by the silver-haired girl.

If you take the initiative to attack, you will definitely be infinitely connected by the twin sisters.

So the final outcome is: Chunyuan, 'Emperor Wu' and 'Two-Headed Demon Dog'...... All four of them were wiped out in the 'Battle for Half-Price Bento'.

On the contrary, the bald head who hid obscenely on the side at the beginning became the final winner.

However, judging from the eyes of the 'Two-Headed Demon Dog' sisters who seemed to be about to kill, the fate of the bald head in the next few days was worrying......

Haruhara, who has finished reminiscing, smells the aroma of bonito dashi that stimulates his appetite, and the white water vapor that brings happiness and contentment.

――At the other end of the steam, a silver-haired girl sitting on the same bench unwrapped the rice balls.

"Here you go."

Handed to Haruhara by his fair-skinned little hands, there is a rice ball that is beautifully divided into two halves not only of seaweed, but also of rice and sour plums.

After unconsciously thanking him, he took the rice ball, and Haruhara, looking at the girl who seemed to be a violent maniac until now, suspiciously.

"This 'ring' - do you remember?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl who suddenly pointed her index finger at the black headband on her head somewhat cutely, Haruhara, who didn't understand what the girl was talking about, shook her head dumbfoundedly.

"Sure enough...... No, don't worry, I just recognized the wrong person. ”

The girl said, her face was slightly reddened, she stood up, and made a cold voice: "By the way, my name is Tomoyo, Tomoyo Sakagami." Nice to meet you, Haruhara~"

"Nice to meet you, Tomoyo. Wait a minute...... Why do you know my name?!! ”

The girl didn't answer, leaving only a slender back of Haruhara.
