Nagisa prepared a dinner for 7 or 8 people, but the three of them ate it all with a strong appetite. In the end, I even made the soup base into a soup pot and drank it clean.

"Hah——...... Eaten. I can't move anymore. ”

Nagisa is lying on the couch in the hall wearing a thin short shirt. To Yukina, who advocated to help tidy up, he said that it was okay to force her back to his house, and after tidying up the kitchen, he collapsed with all his strength.

"Hey, Nagisha. Don't sleep in a place like this, you'll catch a cold."

Looking at his sister who was touching her belly with happiness on her face with a helpless expression, Ui Bing said rudely. Nagisa waved her hand as if annoyed by him.

"It's just for a moment——。 Today, there is still a club practice, so I'm tired——...... Ahh Where are you going? ”

"Go to the convenience store. Buy a drink to sober up. ”

Gucheng replied as he put his coat over his coat inside the house.

Nagisa maintained a lying posture and raised her head very imposingly,

"Ah——, then help me buy a popsicle and come back. I'm going to be the same one as last time. ”

"You still have to eat. It's going to get fat, especially the lower part of the belly. ”

"It's very long-winded. The ancient city king who said this kind of thing was the most annoying. ”

Nagisa protested with a puffed face.

"Alright, alright."

When he was angry with himself, he was obviously self-aware, thinking so, Ubiki tied his shoelaces and opened the door. After going out, I found Yukina standing in front of me.

"What are you going to do with this time, senior?"

Wow, the ancient city couldn't help but scream. Yukina narrowed her eyes as if she were on alert, staring coldly at the ancient city.

"Snow, Yukina?"

"Yes. What the hell is going on? ”

Looking at Xuecai, who leaned his neck slightly and asked himself, Usui Bing was a little relieved.

Yukina's hair is still wet, and water is dripping from the tips of her hair. And it's also a defenseless dress with only a uniform shirt on his naked body. I didn't bring the guitar case from last time. It instantly occurred to me that it was possible that he had been watching at the door of his house, but it didn't seem to be the case.

I probably felt the breath of Ubiki going out when I was taking a shower, so I ran out in a panic. It's said that it's a work enthusiast or too honest, but in short, it's a seriousness that is very consistent with Yukina.

"Is it possible, are you going to follow me? Dressed like this? ”

Feeling a slight headache, Gucheng asked.

"Because I'm in charge of surveillance."

Yukina replied in the same flat tone as usual, but she looked a little squirming and uneasy. Probably because of the emergency, I didn't even wear underwear.

Ubiki shook her head helplessly.

"I see, so let's go dry my hair first. I'll wait for you to get it ready first. ”

"Really?"

Yukina blinked, as if she was slightly surprised. Ubiki wrinkled his face,

I'm going to take you out like this and run around at night. I'm going to be arrested.

"Yes, is that so. So, please come in and wait. ”

"No, no. I'm waiting here. I won't run away either, so don't worry. ”

Gu Cheng said and bowed his head in embarrassment. Anyway, it's a bit bad to be alone with a girl who has just taken a shower, it's not a gentleman's style.

"So, I'll go back and change my clothes first." After leaving such a sentence, Yukina returned to her room as if she had run away.

Usui looked up at the sky in the hallway of her apartment, then counted the stars as intently as she could. Because I have a hunch that if I imagine the appearance of Yukina's dressing, I will be attacked by the urge to suck blood.

Finally, Yukina's door opened again, and this time Yukina, who had changed into her uniform, walked out. And that guitar case is still well carried.

Could it be that she didn't bring any clothes other than her uniform, Ui Bing couldn't help but think. I'm going to take her shopping for clothes in the near future. However, when I found myself so naturally, the ancient city became lost again. It feels like picking up a little animal that needs to be taken care of.

"Where are you going?"

Yukina, who didn't know how entangled Usaka was, asked. The ancient city stepped on the elevator while stepping on,

"Go to the convenience store, won't tell me you don't even know about the convenience store?"

"No, I do. I haven't been at this time, though. ”

Yukina said energetically as if she were a mixture of uneasiness and anticipation.

It was like a prank on his parents. Even if you have expectations for a convenience store, you're smiling bitterly.

"I'm so sorry just now. I'm tired. ”

"Huh?"

"At dinner, Nagisa is very noisy, isn't it?"

"No, I'm glad then. The hot pot is also quite delicious. ”

Yukina smiled a little shyly, that was really good, and the ancient city also smiled.

"I used to take turns cooking, but lately Nagisa has become much better than me."

"It's so good, family is such a thing, because I don't have a family, so I feel very envious."

Yukina said in a tone pretending to be fine.

"No family?"

Usui looked at Yukina's side face in surprise. Yukina, yes, nodded without a hint of sadness at all.

"All of them in the Forest of the High Gods are orphans. It's an organization that gathers gifted children from all over the country to train demon attackers. ”

"Is that so......?"

Compared with the life experience of Yukina, which was even heavier than expected, Usui Bing couldn't help but become speechless.

"In other words, Yukina was ...... to become a demon attacker in the first place?"

"Yes. However, it's not like feeling lonely because you don't have a family, it's not like that. Because the staff of 'Takajin's Tang Pear' are very kind, and the training itself as a sword witch is not annoying. ”

Yukina hurriedly added. Looking at the atmosphere, it didn't look like he was lying, so Ubiki also believed it calmly. Indeed, Yukina's physical skills, which can even deal with demons, are not disgusted with the extent to which they can be mastered by practice. But

"Sword Witch?"

Crooked his neck at the unfamiliar word ancient city,

"It's the demon attackers who are managed by the 'Forest of the High Gods'. I think it means a shrine maiden who practices swordsmanship. ”

Yukina said with an uncertain expression, and it seemed that she herself didn't seem to fully understand.

"Shrine Maiden...... In other words, do you also do blessings or divination? ”

"Formally, I can do it, but I'm not very good at it......"

"Oh-"

I see, Ubiki understands for the time being. Speaking of which, although Yukina looks realistic, she is actually not good at rigid rituals.

To say which side is like is like an animal, or the type that acts on instinct and intuition. Maybe that's what I was supposed to be a shrine maiden.

"Senior...... So what were you thinking about just now? ”

Asked by her at the same time as if she had guessed her thoughts, Ubiki couldn't help but get in a hurry.

"Oh, no, there's no such thing."

"I'm pretty good at using inspirational vision. So Isaac's lies are useless. ”

"Huh......!? Sure enough, it looks like an animal......"

"Are you really thinking about this kind of thing?"

While chatting about this, the two of them were already very close to the convenience store at their destination.

The island?south, where their apartment is located, is an artificial island with a residential area, so there are not many pedestrians at night, but even then it is quite lively near the station.

Fast food restaurants and cafes. There is also a manga leisure spot and an arcade center -

"Ah......h

As she passed the arcade center, Yukina stopped abruptly, and Usui turned her head as a result. I don't think I even know about the arcade center.

"Yukina?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's nothing."

"What's wrong with this claw machine?"

Sensing the basket in front of the store that Yukina was staring at, Guru asked.

"It's called...... Catch the claw machine. The one who put the cat right is ......"

"Cat and Jun? Are you talking about the name of this rag doll? ”

"Yes. That one...... It is very popular in the former school, so. ”

Yukina nodded lightly in reply. It was a cat-shaped rag doll that made the beckoning cat fluffier and softer. Its tail is characterized by its split into two halves, which is probably where its name comes from. Although she said that she was not interested, Yukina's eyes sparkled and fell on the puppets in the glass case.

"At this level, you can definitely catch it."

Usui smiled slightly and took out a hundred yen yen, while Yukina raised her head to look at the ancient city as if surprised.

"What does it mean to catch? Is it ......?"

"It's not about robbing or anything. This is such a machine. ”

Usui said as he threw the yen into the machine. Seeing that the mechanical arm moved with the control of the buttons in the ancient city, Yukina also seemed to roughly understand the purpose of this machine. She was watching the movements of the mechanical arm with a more serious look than when she was fighting the demons.

Because she is often asked by Nagisa to play with her many times, Usui Bing's doll catching skills is quite good, accurately aiming at the one that is easy to grasp, and then correctly lowering the mechanical arm.

Yukina holds her breath and stares at the mascot who is caught by a robotic arm with accurate aiming and then transported to the pick-up port. Finally, when the Lucky Cat-like rag doll fell to the exit,

"The two people over there,It's a student of Caihai Academy.。 What are you doing at this time? ”

At the calm voice coming from behind, Usui and Yukina froze as if they had been struck by lightning.

Looking at the reflection printed on the glass of the machine, Ui Bing, uh, swallowed.

It turned out to be Nangong Nayue who was standing there. There is no need to check the face, there is no one else but her who looks hot in a dress full of lace on this island in all seasons. It's not the same as the occasion when it's night, but it seems to be a patrol for the students.

"That boy over there, he looks like a familiar back, take off the hood for me, turn it around."

Natsuki smiled as if she was happy about something, and it seemed that she wanted to slowly bring Usui to a desperate situation as if she were strangling her neck with cotton silk.

Looking at the other side again, Yukina was stiff with an iron-green expression. Because it grows as a superior, it's not good at dealing with this situation.

It's exactly the same as the original plot.

It's almost 0:00 in the morning.,Although it's just a claw machine at the door of the store.,But after all, it's also playing in a video game center.,There's no way to justify it at all.。 This is a clear violation of school rules, let alone bringing junior high school students with them.

"What's wrong? If it's stubbornly reluctant to turn back, I have an idea—" (Marker)
