The investigation continued the next day, and this time Illya and the others joined the action.

In order to collect the rank cards as much as possible, they divided into arrays and searched the city.

Because there were eight of them, they decided to combine them in pairs to be on the safe side, and the distribution was determined by lottery.

At this time, Rin and Xiao Hei were walking on the deserted streets of Deep Mountain Town.

"Why am I in a group with Rin?"

"Do you have an opinion?"

Both of them looked at each other with a stinky face.

"Of course. Illya can't talk to handsome guys. ”

"I'm sorry about that."

The two of them walked aimlessly, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to perceive the manifest phenomenon, but the four seasons had given them a detection device beforehand, which was a kind of Shikigami called the Seeker Butterfly. Originally, it was a device used to find small things. After being transformed by the four seasons, it can be used as an eye to transmit the information it receives to the four seasons.

At this point, the paper butterfly-like thing did not react at all.

"What do you think of the current situation?"

After a moment of silence, Rin spoke again.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, of course it's those 'people from another world'."

“……”

A stern expression appeared on Xiao Hei's face.

"Judging from today's table, I don't want to be fake, although there are still some uncertainties, but there is no doubt that we are in the same position for the time being."

"Do you think so too?"

Rin nodded.

"Looks like that's the only way to go."

"Illya and Miyu aside, maybe Luvia can get some information, right?"

"Luvia, I hope so......"

…………

Luvia, who was being talked about by Rin and Black, didn't know what they were expecting, and contrary to the stern atmosphere of the two of them, she was on her side......

"Now, Xiao Chu Sakura, do you still have what you want?"

Luvia looked at Hatsu Sakura in front of her eagerly, and at this time, compared to when she first went out, she could find that Hatsu Sakura's clothes had been changed.

"Huh? What is that? ”

Hatsuzakura tilted her head, then her gaze fell on a lavishly decorated shop.

"Ahh How lovely it is! ”

Luvia said intoxicated, then pulled out a black card.

"Buy, buy, buy, don't buy, you're not human!"

From clothes and accessories to toys and food, Luvia seems to have completely reveled in buying things for Hatsuzakura.

…………

Of course, not everyone can get along as well as Luvia and Hatsuzakura, and at this time, on a street in Shinto, Shiki and Illya are acting together.

Illya cautiously peeked at Shiki beside her, because she looked a little unnatural when she walked nervously.

Alas!

Illya couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then remembered what had happened before departure.

As a result, Illya and Four Seasons were placed in a group.

Why is it him?

For people like Shiki, Illya can't handle it at all.

The four seasons didn't say a word along the way, which made Illya feel very embarrassed.

(Illya, Illya, is it okay?) ）

Ruby spoke to Illya.

(Hmm.) ）

Illya's answer was not at all spirited.

(Do you think he's angry about yesterday?) I interrupt their investigation. ）

(Probably not, right?) Although he looks expressionless on the surface, he is actually an unexpectedly honest person. ）

(Ah, indeed.) ）

(Speaking of which, this is a bit similar to the original beauty tour.) ）

(Huh?) ）

Because of Ruby's words, Illya recalled the first time she met Miyu, her awe-inspiring posture, her great strength, and her expressionless and cold face.

(Haha, indeed.) ）

(Does Illya like this genre?) ）

(What are you talking about!) I like someone who is as gentle as my brother! Belch...... Don't make me say strange things! ）

“？”

Probably because the voice leaked out accidentally, Illya noticed that Shiki was looking at her.

"What's wrong?"

"No, no."

"Hmm...... Generally speaking, such a reaction is instead a manifestation of something. ”

"Uh......"

Is it common for someone to say something like that? Illya couldn't help but think.

"Please don't ask. Please. ”

"Okay."

After saying that, the four seasons fell silent as before.

Seeing Shiki's silence, Illya thought of her usual beauty and yesterday's events.

Meiyu ......

Illya knew what troubles Miyu had, but she didn't know how to help her.

"The ......"

When she came to her senses, Illya found that she had spoken.

"Am I unreliable."

When she said it, even she was a little surprised that she would ask like this.

What are you referring to? Whether it is reliable or not depends on the object to be relied on. ”

"Hmmm......"

Now that she had already asked, Illya simply let it go.

"It's Miyu's business, she has some troubles, but I can't help her, and she won't even come to me to discuss. I wonder if this friend of mine is really disqualified. ”

"Do you know the reason why Miyu didn't rely on you?"

"Nope."

Even the question itself Illya didn't dare to ask.

"I don't rely on you because you don't have enough ability, but there is also the possibility that I don't want to implicate you out of concern."

"Caring for ......"

"Hmm. At least in my opinion, Miyu likes you very much. ”

"Huh?"

Illya was startled when she heard Shiki say this.

"Illya likes Miyu, too, right? Then don't hesitate, although it is not good to force others, there are times when it is also necessary. ”

"Huh?"

"Little brother, you are really good! Sure enough, a gentleman! Hear no Illya! Strength is king! ”

Ruby suddenly jumped out and shouted in an excited voice.

"Ruby! That's not what people mean...... Right? ”

Illya desperately pressed the ruby back.

After such a toss, Illya's previous tension has disappeared, but in another sense, she doesn't know how to face the four seasons.

…………

Because Illya is not the only one who doesn't know how to get along with the group's companions, Miyuki and Miyu are moving silently on a shopping street in Xindu.

The pressure of silence weighed on Miyuki's heart, making her uncomfortable.

If it is said that among these original characters, Meiyou is definitely among them.

At this time, Miyuki has a deep understanding that not everyone can make Miyuki's face red, and Miyuki is upset when she thinks of this.

The Four Seasons guy is getting more and more like the harem hero. Miyuki couldn't help but think.

The silence continued, and although Miyuki also tried to talk about some topics, Miyuki's reaction to this was only "uh-huh".

If it's Nana's kind of person who is always at her own pace, there will probably be no problem, but teasing people is not her job.

Because they had been silent, Miyuki wished that an enemy would run out immediately, but the detector that Shiki gave them was completely unresponsive.

Miyuki looked at the paper butterfly that landed on Miyuki's head, according to Shiki, so in addition to them, he also made hundreds of them overnight and spread them throughout the city.

The reason why they want to act in person is actually because the four seasons have another hidden purpose, which is to attract the Dominator to appear. Simply put, it's fishing.

Because the current situation is completely in the dark, it is possible to expose themselves more to enter. It's just that I don't know if the other party will take the bait.

Miyuki thought back to what Shiki had told her, and she didn't let her guard down along the way, because according to Shiki, their group was the most likely to be attacked.

"The ......"

Just when Miyuki thought the silence would continue, a young woman came to the side of the road and stopped them.

"Can I excuse me?"
