After last night's conversation, a thoughtful Natsume returned to the room, and after locking the door, the whole person began to think seriously.

Everything I've done so far, everything I've experienced so far, and everything I've wanted to forget.

However, this kind of action inevitably seems a little useless, after all, the wooden gate is not highly defensive, and it can't block a powerful attack at all, and it was destroyed by C.C. and Kurumi in just a moment, so Natsume's thinking ended here, and he had to deal with these two elves.

The day after the incident, that is, now, Natsume received a notification from Ratatoskr, Koto Gokawa.

Judging from what she said, Natsume knew that today was the day of the elf's emotional investigation.

To put it simply, it is by looking at the mood fluctuations of the sealed elves and the flow of power when the two are together.

After all, although the sealed elves are no different from humans, once there are large mood swings, they will break the balance with the sealer and regain some power.

Humans are human beings after all, and elves are elves after all, this is a law that cannot be changed. But for Natsume, they're just ordinary girls.

Humans are also self-willed, angry, and restless, and the only creatures that can express these different emotions are humans.

That's true, but...

"You're not deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, are you?"

[No kidding, it's Kurumi Tokizaki in the morning, C.C. at noon, and it's recorded at night.] 】

"Forget it, I can understand the first two. But what's the deal with the last idiot? ”

[About this. Because I always feel that you don't have a good relationship. So in order to have a good relationship, it was specially arranged. I don't want to affect C.C. and Kurumi because of your quarrel. 】

What a superfluous arrangement.

In fact, Natsume thinks that the relationship between himself and Lu is not bad, but so far, he has been able to do it by relying on her, so he is grateful in his heart.

But in this world, to the present, the relationship with Lu has been a little strange from the previous conversation, because the two have become 'enemies' in a sense.

But the word 'enemy' is only a one-sided statement. It's not enough to prove anything, but Natsume doesn't think that Lu will make such a bad joke.

It's okay to let yourself and that Zhang Yan get into the base, the two suddenly became enemies or something, it feels very strange to think about it.

Then again, if the two really become enemies, Natsume doesn't plan to release the water, anyone has the right to live, and Natsume knows the fate of his failure.

One wrong step may add a new tombstone to the traverser's graveyard.

[Don't worry, I'll arrange the route and choice for you. After all, I'm very busy myself, and so is my brother. 】

"Trouble is dead. Is there one more thing you can confirm? ”

[What? If you want to ask me what kind of underwear I'm wearing like Kannatsuki, I'll give you a shot right away. 】

"No, it won't! What I want to ask is is there any other prerequisite warning for the arrival of the elves besides the space earthquake? ”

[Why do you ask this?] The detailed investigation report did not point out that the 'elves descended' had a warning other than 'space earthquakes', and if there were no disastrous space earthquakes, the elves would probably be wantonly. 】

It's not impossible.

The elves so far can be counted on one finger, so the appearance of new elves is quite troublesome.

Natsume knows about this world, and the reason why he asks questions other than space quakes is just to confirm whether this is the world he understands.

So.

Natsume looked at the early morning sky, what kind of elves will appear in the future?

"It's been a long time~"

At this time, the shoulder was tapped, and Kurumi, who was wearing a refreshing summer dress, appeared behind Natsume.

She wore a red sunhat diagonally, and her pupils hidden in the shadows shone like glowing diamonds.

Because it is an off-the-shoulder dress, the white shoulders that look weak can be seen at a glance, and the whole person exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere.

[(1): As beautiful as ever, it makes people want to go on with the date indefinitely.

(2): It's very suitable for you, so let's go together.

(3): Your fat color today is white, right?! 】

The option appeared, and Natsume directly ignored the last one.

Such a choice must be related to the Kannatsuki who cleaned up in the piano.

Listening to the prompt, Natsume put his hand in front of his mouth and clenched it into a fist, and after coughing, he decided to use the first word as instructed.

"It's as beautiful as ever, and it makes you want to go on with the date indefinitely."

"Really? Natsume is a little different today. ”

With a somewhat teasing smile, Kurumi gently moved the straps of his dress to the side for a short distance.

"Want to see it?"

"What are you doing, go."

With a calm look, Natsume pointed to the road ahead.

"It's a different flavor to start dating so early, but where are you going this time?"

"Shopping malls and parks have been visited, and underwater parks have been excluded."

Because the encounter is in the men's toilet in the underwater park.

Looking for something interesting, Natsume thought of a place to rent a boat upstream of the riverbank, where the two of them could go to have fun.

To act, Natsume didn't waste any time, after all, he had to go to C.C. later, and if it was too late, he would probably be punished.

When I arrived at the destination, many boats had been rented out because it was a holiday, but there were still a few two-person sliding boats left.

"Is this the right thing to sit on?"

"Well, would you like to give it a try?"

"It's not bad for two people to be together."

The rent was paid, and the two men sitting in the bow and stern picked up the wood pulp.

"That's all it takes."

Natsume hasn't rowed before, but with his sense and knowledge, he can easily master it.

But Kurumi didn't listen to Natsume's arrangement at all, but let go of the wood pulp and pointed to the opposite riverbank and said

"Head to the opposite riverbank, Natsume."

"Yes, yes, don't stand up, it's easy to shake the hull of the ship...... Feed! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, where the current became slightly faster, the boat swayed from side to side, and Kurumi, who was unsteady, fell forward.

Throwing the wood pulp aside, Natsume reached out and hugged Kurumi's body, which fell directly in front of him, and finally fell to the bottom of the boat due to the impact.

The head collided with the bottom of the boat, and a thud pulled Natsume's consciousness back.

"Kurumi, it's okay."

"It's okay, I'm sorry for your trouble."

In Natsume's arms, Kurumi, who grabbed Natsume's clothes with his hands, supported his body.

"But the oars all fell into the water."

"Huh? Isn't that troublesome? ”

"The other way around."

Kurumi, who straddles Natsume's body, gently uses his tongue. Head licked. Lip.

"That way, we can be alone for longer."

A crisis also brings an opportunity.

The date between the two went with the flow. (To be continued......)
