"Did you come here to say hello?"

"Yes. And, there is one more request. ”

"Request? To me? ”

Gucheng asked unexpectedly. Xia Yin seemed to be a little embarrassed and lowered her gaze a little.

"Yes, that ......"

The silver-haired girl's voice became lower and lower, and the classmates of the ancient city were waiting with bated breath for her next step. Finally, Xia Yin raised his head imposingly and asked the ancient city in a nervous voice.

"Tonight, can you go for the night? At my brother's house. ”

At that moment, a silence as if it had been frozen fell into the classroom. There was only one person, only the shallot, with a stunned expression, let out a "What!?" Such a moan. And then

"It doesn't matter." The ancient city replied calmly.

"W-what!?"

The shallot's shoulders trembled like an electric shock, and his eyes stiffened on the spot.

Yase, who was watching this scene from the side, turned his head as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Wait for me!"

Grabbed shallot's wrist strongly, and then the two of them raised their hands high together. Once again, there was an earthquake cry in the classroom. Even the ancient city of them noticed the strange aura and turned their heads.

"Can you bother us too, Xiaojun?"

Facing the ancient city, Lun smiled and informed.

"Whatever you want."

Shallot didn't understand what was going on, and stared blankly at the confused ancient city, the smiling Lun, and his own raised hand, and then screamed.

"Eh——!!"

There are two days left until the start of the Haha-in Festival. The atmosphere of the festival is slowly becoming lively.

……

The island south in the southern part of Hyunshin Island is home to many residential streets. The apartment built on the artificially designed gentle ramp is the home of the Xiao family siblings.

The room number is 704, and the size is the very common 3ldk. Outside the window with a wide view, the bright sunset unfolds, and in front of you is the urban area of Hyunshin City, which is dyed red by the sunset.

The large glass living room table is filled with dishes on large plates.

Looking at those dishes, standing in place in a daze, it was Natsune in uniform. As if to scare her, who had a nervous expression on her face, it was as if the sound of a gunpowder explosion exploded.

"Natsuon-chan, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital!"

Xiao Nagisha shouted as she exploded the paper firecrackers. She's a middle-aged third-year student like Yukina and Xia Yin.,The sister of the ancient city.。 Body shape and appearance,Compared with girls of the same generation,,It's more of a childish impression.,But it's a good all-round sister.。 She looks cute, her grades are passable, she is very capable of housework, and the only biggest drawback is that she likes to talk a lot for some reason, and she is a little talkative, but the incredible thing is that she doesn't make anyone unhappy in this regard.

Most of the dishes on the table are carefully prepared by her.

"That, that,"

With scraps of paper all over her body, Xia Yin looked around with a wincing expression.

"Everyone, I'm sorry...... For people like me. ”

In order to cheer up Natsune, Nagisa said in a more cheerful voice.

"What are you talking about? Today Natsuon-chan is the protagonist. Come, sit down, sit down, get moving. This salad is my confident work. Homemade sauce made with walnuts, peppers and sesame seeds. Here is the Hyunshin's luxurious croquette. Over there is the Nagisa finale red pepper beans. Soon after, the mixed sauce noodles were almost ready. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Pulled by Nagisa with full momentum, Natsune smiled a little reservedly. Sitting cheekily next to Natsune was Yase, who had now stretched out his chopsticks towards the cooking.

"Oh~, this is delicious. Nagisa sauce. It's not that the technology is going up again. ”

"It's just different from that cold brother."

While carrying the cold soup to his mouth, the shallots showed a happy expression and held his cheeks with his hands. Gu Cheng, who was driven to the corner of the hall, stared at them with a surprised expression.

"I'm so cold, I'm really embarrassed!"

"You're a little embarrassed!" Shallot glanced at him.

"Then why are you here?" The ancient city asked mercilessly.

"Well, don't say that. A rare celebration will be lively when there are more people. ”

"Let's talk about it first, the piece of meat eaten in the ancient city was brought by me."

"Goo."

He swallowed another piece of meat.

“…… So, what is the relationship between you and Hase-san? ”

Without stopping his hand to eat, the shallots suddenly asked. Unlike the impression from the outside, she is actually a big stomach. Proof of this is that Nagisa occasionally adds new dishes to the empty plate of shallots.

"Didn't I tell you, because Ye Se was sick, so he was treated in the Magician Craft, so Yukina and I went to contribute to the blood transfusion, just to help."

"Hmm. That's it. Because I was in a hurry, I'm really sorry to worry you. Yukina said.

Because I have long thought that this will happen, I have already confessed to each other before.

However, because it is too smooth, it makes people feel unnatural. Shallot had a visibly skeptical expression.

"So, what's the matter with Her Royal Highness?"

"That's because Ye Se's father was a magic guide technician in the Arutiki Adam court when he was young, and it was because of this relationship that she came to visit."

There is a huge difference between their accounts and the truth in the ancient city, but there is almost no lying in their positions and relationships. Although he was not completely able to agree, he also gave up and continued to investigate.

Instead, the voice of another participant came from the room in the ancient city.

"Oh...... This is Xiaojun's room. It's surprisingly ordinary. Well, I'm interested. ”

"Can you please not go into other people's rooms and peek under the bed, Tsukijima?"

Behind Lun, who was bending down to burrow under the bed, the ancient city cast a soft voice.

Unlike the ancient city, she behaved very cold even in front of her friends, only a slight difference in her attitude towards the ancient city.

Lun, who has a grandfather who is a famous demon ecologist, himself has a more detailed understanding of the characteristics of the demons. Maybe it's because of this, occasionally, she will do something to see that the ancient city is not an ordinary human.

Even so, she didn't treat the ancient city as an enemy, and she didn't seem to have any intention of causing a commotion. It feels like you're just observing for fun. I came to the ancient city's house just to observe.

Such a lun is looking for things on the bookshelves of the ancient city with great interest.

"Album discovery. Is it okay to watch it? ”

"It doesn't matter. Photos from childhood, nothing to look at. ”

He is not the original Xiao Gucheng, and his appearance is completely different from that in the original book. After the vampire transformation, his face changed dramatically. But if they see the difference between the two, they are likely to find something.

But the girls' feelings seem to be a little different. On the contrary, as if arousing interest, light onions and snow vegetables all surrounded Lun's side.

"It's not you in the picture, why doesn't it look like it at all?"

"So ......"

Len, who opened the cover of the album, raised her eyebrows happily, and Yukina expressed her thoughts on the side.

"Seniors also have elementary school days. It's so ...... Love? ”

What's your question?

"These are photos taken before the ancient city moved to Hyunshin City."

It was the shallots that correctly timed the photo. As soon as the ancient city arrived in Xuanshen City, he immediately ran into her. Four years ago, when Gucheng was just a middle school student.

"That's pretty much it. The photos here were taken when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school. ”

"Who is this guy? They are often photographed together. ”

Yase asked, picking up the album. There was a teammate who wore the same basketball uniform as Gucheng, a schoolboy who had been tanned almost completely black and had a dignified appearance.

"Sentoki Yuma, a former friend."

I really don't know much about this person's ancient city, and all the knowledge related to him is learned from the memory of the ancient city.

"Xiandu Mu...... Yuma...? ”

"When I was a little ghost, I often mixed up with my companions. It should be said that it is a childhood sweetheart, or a basketball teammate, anyway, it is the kind of relationship like a dead friend. ”

Lun's eyes narrowed in admiration.

"That's a man. It is really different from the small white-faced ancient city. “

"Who is! Also, don't say this in front of the deity. ”

"Got it, it's always okay to say it behind my back."

"Don't talk about it behind your back!!" Crooked in injury, the ancient city roared.

On the other hand, Yase stared at the photo with an expression that really couldn't be considered a joke.

"Goo, I thought I was the only friend in the ancient city, but I didn't expect the man in the past to be such a little white face!"

"What are you talking about, you guys are disgusting......"

The shallots really put on a disgusted expression. The ancient city couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Enough of you."

Aha, it's Nagisa who is smiling like this.

"I remember that Yu-chan used to be very popular among girls. It's different from Guchengjun. ”

Of course it's welcome, she's a girl. Wait a minute...... Schoolgirl? No, they don't think...

Since there are pseudo-mothers who look like girls, then naturally there will be people who look like boys...... Ha...... The ancient city is full of black lines.

Sure enough, I thought so...

Then, as if she suddenly remembered, Nagisa took out her phone and opened the email screen.

"That's right, by the way, Yu-chan just came to contact. Said to be at the airport at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"Huh?"

Yase turned around in surprise and pointed to the photo album of the ancient city with trembling fingers.

"Could it be that you're coming to String God Island, this guy?"

"That's what it says."

As Nagisa brought the noodles to his plate, the ancient city replied in a normal tone. I dug up the old photo album from the clutter pile, and I was also preparing for a reunion with my old friends.

"In that case, Xiaojun, I remember you said that you were going to hang out with someone this year."

Len said, his expression was one that had clearly solved the question.

"That's her." The ancient city nodded.

Lun smiled at the shallots with a meaningful expression, as if encouraging.

"If you want to be a tour guide for a friend, you can't help it. Right, shallots? ”

"Forget it. Anyway, I thought it was like that. ”

Return to the light onion in front of the table and start eating again with a higher momentum. Seeing that the amount of food she made was smoothly reduced, Nagisa showed a happy expression.

Shallot suddenly stopped eating, looked at Yukina next to him, leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Na...... Did you know before? Friends from the ancient city are coming here......"

"No," Yukina shook her head regretfully, "I just heard about his reservation for the festival for the first time. ”

Just their eyes intertwined for a few moments, and the two sighed at the same time.

"That's the kind of person he is."

“…… Oh, yes. ”

invariably glanced at the ancient city: it will pretend to be mysterious to the end..."

Looking at the two people who comforted each other in a strange and sympathetic language, with a "snap", a cross was imprinted on the head of the ancient city, and the expression of the ancient city was completely shrouded in gloom: "I said you, what is that expression?" ”
