Collapsed buildings and buildings that appear to have been eroded by strong acids are everywhere in the hardest-hit parts of the city. It seems to be a forbidden area for life, and there is no trace of human and animal activity in sight. To this day, this most central area is still under lockdown to prevent anyone from entering and having an accident.

But if you stay away from here and go to the more edge of the city, you will feel a sense of life. More than a year has passed, and the reconstruction of the city is on track. Here you can see people coming and going, trying to restore the city to its original state.

Among these people are government workers, reconstruction crews, and volunteers who have come here to help.

At this time, several beautiful figures are running around in this preliminarily reconstructed area, they are all high school girls, wearing volunteer IDs. After confirming that there was no danger here, the government called in a number of volunteers, many of whom were students from nearby schools. Of course, there are only a lot of things you can do as a student, such as helping with errands, delivering things, and recording some information, but even so, you are working hard for reconstruction, and all parties are very supportive.

So it's not surprising that a couple of high school girls are here, at least for the most part.

Unfortunately, they don't belong to most of the cases right now.

Wherever they went, a few teenage girls would be the center of attention, even if they were just running errands like any other volunteer.

If anything, the reason is that they are all dressed in maid costumes, the kind of maid café attendants would wear.

"Huh? Ryuka is cute? Thank you. If you want to see Ryuka again, you can go to this maid café~~~"

The petite Lori maid handed an ad to the resting engineer.

"Oooh! Did you see with your own eyes the strange light that appeared in the center of the city some time ago? Please be sure to tell me in detail! ”

The maid with the camera pushed the glasses off her face, and the reflection of the mirror didn't seem to hide the excitement in her heart.

"Nana, let's go."

The long-curly-haired maid called her companion in a gentle tone.

"Wait a minute! If I don't get the news, I can't have a full life! Isabella! ”

The maid trio who appear here is none other than Miyuki's little friends, Ryuka, Nana and Isabella.

All three of them were fortunate to be safe during the disaster, and now they are back here as volunteers again. For those who lived through that disaster firsthand, it's hard to say how many fond memories there are about the city. Many people have gone to other cities after the disaster, and even if they don't have the means, they try to stay away from this area. So they came back as volunteers, no longer as victims, and they showed a different kind of courage in themselves.

When Nana finally squeezed all the information out of passers-by, the three of them set out to move on to their next place of work.

"Did you get any useful news?"

Isabella has been seeing her friend with the soul of a journalist inquiring about it these days.

"No, it's all the same thing as before. Suddenly there was a light, it felt terrifying, and then soon the light was gone. ”

Nana shook her head, feeling sorry that she wasn't here on the day of the incident.

"Isn't there any news from Nana's father?"

Nana's father has been following the situation here since the time of the disaster, and now he is also famous because of his performance on the front line.

"Oh, I heard a little. According to Dad, judging by the images taken by the satellite, the light formed a cross shape. ”

"There won't be any danger, will it?"

"The message from above seems to be fine."

"Maybe Sister Miyuki made it up."

Ryuka said optimistically.

"Maybe."

"yes."

Isabella and Nana looked at each other in agreement.

"I don't know how Miyuki is doing now?"

Ryuka looked at the sky with her eyes.

"Miyuki will be fine."

Isabella touched Ruhua's head.

"After all, it's Miyuki, maybe I've fulfilled my wish and the Four Seasons Junqing and me."

Nana shows trust in her friend.

"Miyuki has been working so hard to fulfill her wish, but will it go well with Shiki-sama?"

"Hmm......"

Ryuka felt a little uneasy.

All three sighed at the same time.

At this point, they arrived at the next location, so they sent their things separately, and when they were almost done, they suddenly heard the cry of Ryuka.

Isabella and Nana immediately ran over in search of sound, only to see a man holding Ruka's hand.

"Sexual () harassment bastard!"

Nana took a big stride as she removed the electric shocker from her clothes. This thing is configured by all maids, but it seems that Ryuka has forgotten.

But before Nana could do it, the man who was pestering Ryuka fell down with a roll of his eyes.

"Why are there so many such people all the time?"

Behind the fallen man, stood an awe-inspiring girl.

The three of them held their breath because of the figure, and then rushed forward.

"Miyuki-san!"

"Miyuki!"

"Miyuki!"

Suddenly, all three of them pounced, and Miyuki suddenly fell to the ground without standing firmly.

"You ......"

"Sister Miyuki! Woo~~~"

"Why are you crying?"

Wiping Ruhua's cheeks, Miyuki was a little overwhelmed.

"Heroes save beauty. Miyuki is very handsome. ”

Isabella held her face and took the lead in letting go of Miyuki.

"It's too much to carry out a surprise attack.

Nana also got up, and then wiped her glasses.

"Ugh."

Miyuki didn't know how to answer, so she had to pick up Ryuka first.

"Well, long time no see."

I had a lot of things I wanted to talk to my friends about before I came, but I didn't know what to say when the words came to my lips.

"Fortunately, even if Miyuki shows up, it helps a lot."

Isabella thoughtfully opens the topic, so that Miyuki is finally not overwhelmed.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was going to see you, but I didn't expect you to be here. ”

After looking around a little, Miyuki almost understood the current situation, and the only thing she didn't understand was what her friend was wearing.

"What's the matter with your outfit?"

It's not in a maid café again!

"It's the store manager."

"Store manager?"

"It was the store manager who organized us clerks to come here to help, so naturally we had to wear the store's work clothes."

Nana explained the reason to her.

“……”

Thinking of her store manager, Miyuki, I have a feeling of speechlessness.
