Shiori Shinohara's mood is very bad.

Thinking that the end was just around the corner, everything was as she wanted, the person she liked, and the person who was expecting a response from her finally gave her the response she wanted.

"Like Shiori, the emotion of liking has reached the point where you know that you are going to make a mistake."

"Shiori doesn't need to be immersed in dreams anymore, for us, it's all the same."

When I hear these responses, my heart beats in my little chest, and the emotions that have nowhere to put and want to pour out make people flutter and can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, like a dream embedded in reality, blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy.

Until it was confirmed that it was reality and not a dream, the continuous euphoria that followed took over the heart—

And then quickly fell into the abyss.

"Shiori, actually, I still can't let go of Hisada."

When such words drifted through the cold air and entered her ears, Shiori Shinohara was completely stunned, as if she had once again experienced the feeling of her dream being shattered.

Probably a joke of fate, it was always like this, and her experience was always like this.

is obviously the eldest lady of a famous family, and as long as she is willing, she can do almost everything smoothly, but these things are always not smooth.

I finally convinced myself, after all, she and her teacher Hirakawa had just begun, and it was normal that she couldn't let go now, as long as she and he could continue, sooner or later one day she would be able to let this teacher hold her hand completely.

Outcome...... Scold......

Is there actually three hands?

He was going to hold her, he was going to hold Kuda, and he was holding Hazuki when she wasn't looking.

Awful.

Even if it is her Hirakawa teacher, the most favorite and respected Hirakawa teacher, she will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, and she will definitely not be allowed to let it go.

Shiori Shinohara stared at Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the calm atmosphere, the cold air, she wanted to ask clearly.

She opened her mouth—

"Ding Dong."

“……”

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere froze, and Shiori Shinohara's open mouth was silent.

It was quiet again.

She looked at the teacher in front of her, who was also a little dazed, and then looked at the doorway.

Why is the doorbell ringing again?

- This question also surfaced in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mind.

Why is it ringing again, who is coming?

The sudden ringing of the bell broke the atmosphere that had been brewing and made everything strange.

"Ding Dong."

In the silence there was soon another sound.

“…… Shall I go open the door? Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was already fidgeting on the sofa, cautiously asked tentatively.

Shiori Shinohara didn't speak, and turned around, and Kuda Moshu also maintained the same posture, unable to see any thoughts.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood up silently on his knees.

He walked from the living room to the entrance, and the sound of dull footsteps was like his heartbeat.

Or arrived at the entrance.

'Who is it—' I wanted to ask, but the strange silence from the living room behind him forced Tetsufumi Hirakawa to swallow the words he was about to speak.

It's hard to have the courage to break this silence.

Just open the door, and you'll know when you open the door.

With his hand pressed against the doorknob, Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened the door for the third time today.

Then he saw—

Completely different from the previous two times, it was already evening, and the sunset that had not yet set hung precariously in the sky, emitting the last of its weak light in a few clouds rendered orange-red.

It's not enough to light up the whole sky.

Except for the dim orange where the setting sun was, large areas of the sky were no longer bright, and were grayish-blue.

Street lights have also been lit up on the side of the road outside the door, and white lights have replaced the sun to illuminate the street.

In this situation, in front of the door in the evening when the light is low, the person who has just rang his doorbell is a petite girl.

In this low-light situation, she still held an umbrella, a pitch-black umbrella.

As a result, the scene under the umbrella was even more dark and could not be seen clearly.

can only be seen that this girl's body is too petite, like a middle school student.

Then, after the door opened, in the sight of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the girl in front of her gently took the umbrella she was holding, and the unclear light still reflected her appearance.

The cute little face, like the puppet's carved facial features.

She was petite, but she wore a fluffy skirt.

Black Lolita, gorgeous and unusual.

The greeting sound in the ears, pretending to be a mysterious and immature tone, is even more familiar.

"Mr. Hirakawa, long time no see."

Holding an umbrella in one hand, a song lightly lifting the hem of the skirt, this kind of posture, if it is the first time to meet, you may think that the girl outside the door is not a visitor from another world, or a mysterious magical girl or something.

It's just—

"Greetings to you."

I can recognize it the moment I open the door and see the familiar umbrella.

"Amamiya...... Schoolmate? ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa shouted in surprise.

That's right, the person who came was Amamiya Night, it was her, Amamiya Night, who hadn't seen her for a long time since she resigned.

Why did this happen all of a sudden?

Just when Tetsufumi Hirakawa was surprised by this, perhaps seeing his doubts in his eyes, Amamiya Ye gorgeously put away the umbrella that rotated 360 degrees in mid-air, and then answered his doubts.

"My father is always busy on weekdays, and he is abroad, so every time he is on vacation, my mother will take this body to my father."

"It was because of this last summer vacation and this winter vacation that I was unable to come to visit Mr. Hirakawa."

"I just returned to Tokyo today, and I thought of Mr. Hirakawa, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and I came to visit without further delay."

"Mr. Hirakawa, excuse me."

As the explanation was finished, a word of interruption was interrupted, and Amamiya naturally lowered his head. In this way, the petite body easily passed between Tetsufumi Hirakawa and the crack in the door, and entered his home.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hadn't reacted yet, and during the holidays, Amamiya's father came to visit...... The reason for Amamiya's night is still dripping in my mind.

However, when he saw the petite girl about to burrow from under him into his house, he instinctively immediately reached out his hand, turned around and grabbed Amamiya's little arm.

“……”

“……”

Amamiya turned around and looked up at him with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Mr. Hirakawa, what's wrong?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Amamiya Ye explained to himself as if he understood something.

"Oh - this body is not in breach of contract, before I came, I already sent a message on the LINE - although Mr. Hirakawa has not replied to this body."

“……”

line, it's line again, because of the arrival of Miss Shinohara, he doesn't have time to look at his phone at all - Tetsufumi Hirakawa's expression is indescribably complicated, he has too much to say, but he doesn't know how to say it.

For example, now in his family, there are two people, Kuda and Shinohara—maybe counting Reya Hazuki, so there are three people.

It was already a mess, but Amamiya Night chose this time to come again.

I didn't expect it, and ......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at Amamiyaya's little face.

Amamiya tilted her head suspiciously, looking very cute.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless.

If I'm not mistaken, Hazuki said it, Amamiya Ye likes it too...... Like him?

Well......

To be honest, until now I have been a little unreceptive to such news. Are you sure? I still want to ask him so uncertainly, I always feel that the unserious girl is lying to him, after all, he really can't think of it.

But no matter what, if it's true, now, if you let Amamiya go in......

Such a scene, Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't dare to think about it.

Four people, four people, terrible, messy.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa grabbed Amamiya Ye's arm, and his expression was entangled at this moment.

"The ......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa really wants Amamiya to go back first, even if it doesn't matter if Amamiya likes him or not, the things in the house now have nothing to do with this girl for the time being.

That's right, it's unrelated.

But it seems to be too late.

As if sensing the aura—some kind of strange murderous aura—Amamiya's expression suddenly became serious.

Her gaze left Tetsufumi Hirakawa in front of her and looked into the room.

Then, the expression on the little face became more serious.

She stared at something.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked over.

It's Shiori Shinohara.

Hearing the noise, he left the sofa and stood not far from the entrance.

She quietly looked at the night of the rain palace standing in the entrance, and ......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced down and quickly let go of Amamiyaya's hand.

"That...... Shiori ......"

And then it was quickly interrupted.

"Shinohara, why are you here?" Amamiya Ya wrinkled her little face and looked at Shiori Shinohara as if questioning.

Shiori Shinohara's gaze moved away from the arm that had been released, and looked coldly at the sudden appearance of Amamiya Night-

It's good, she almost forgot about Amamiya night just now, and if you count her—albeit one-sidedly—then Hirakawa-sensei has four hands.

Scold.

Shiori Shinohara gently stroked the long broken hair on her shoulder, and smiled sarcastically at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm Hirakawa-sensei's girlfriend, why can't I be here? It's Amamiya-san, what are you doing here to find Mr. Hirakawa? ”

“……”

At the moment when Shiori Shinohara's words ended, Amamiyaya's expression, which was still questioning, suddenly collapsed.

She became dazed, her innocent eyes seemed to be disconnected from the Internet for a year, and she became incomprehensible to the real situation.

She blinked at Shiori Shinohara, then turned her head and blinked at Hirakawa beside her with a complicated expression - as if there was no intention to refute it.

"Eh——?"

Amamiya yelled.

"What, isn't that weird?"

"No, no, that ......"

Amamiya's expression became tangled.

It's like this every time.,Last summer vacation too.,After returning from summer vacation, I suddenly found out that something unspeakable happened to Shiori Shinohara and Mr. Hirakawa.。

This time it's still like this, when I came back from winter vacation, I got the news that Shiori Shinohara was already with Mr. Hirakawa?

No way?

Although the plan is like this, yes, or did she take the initiative to propose it to Shiori Shinohara before, but it was too sudden, right?

She hasn't appeared yet, is it over?

How can there be such a thing?

Shouldn't it be under her leadership that she will work together to defeat the Demon King of Kuda, and then she will solve Shinohara in one fell swoop and successfully capture Hirakawa-sensei?

The script should be like this, right?

As a result, she hasn't done anything yet, and the matter is over, is Hirakawa-sensei already from Shinohara?

Amamiya is beginning to doubt the value of her own existence.

Then, at this moment, after the silence, I heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from inside the living room.

Soft and glutinous Kyoto accent.

"Huh? Is Amamiya Night also coming? ”

“……”

There's only one person she knows about Kyoto.

"Hazuki?"

Reya Hazuki is also there? What's going on?

Are you going to divide up Hirakawa-sensei while she's away?

Amamiya leaned out of the entrance with his head, and his eyes passed through Shiori Shinohara not far away, and looked into the living room.

Her gaze swept over the living room.

She saw Michael, she saw Jiabairi, she saw Chimera, she saw impermanence, and she saw Kuda-sensei who was sitting, but she didn't see Reya Hazuki.

So where did Reya Hazuki's voice come from?

Such a question had just come to mind, and Amamiya was suddenly stunned.

Wait, that, long ...... Hisa, Hisa-sensei?!

Amamiya opened her mouth and looked at Kuda-sensei who was sitting on the sofa.

This one...... Belch......

She sat quietly, her gaze unrecognizable, and collided with her gaze in mid-air.

Amamiya Night's brain was about to die in an instant.

She just left for a winter vacation, in fact, it was half a month, right?

What's going on?

Things became completely incomprehensible to her.

Kuda-sensei, it's really Kuda-sensei, why is she here?

No, Mr. Hinata is Mr. Hirakawa's girlfriend, no problem here, the question should be why Shinohara-sensei is here, and, just now, he said openly, "It's Mr. Hirakawa-sensei's girlfriend."

Well......

Amamiyaya's little head went crazy.

This one...... Could it be......

Legendary ......

Shura Field?!

Has it been a showdown?

Has it come to this point?

Why does the plot fly fast every time she goes on vacation?

Thinking in her heart, under the sight of Kuda Moshu not far away, Amamiya Ye felt that she was going to break out in a cold sweat.

She realized that this kind of occasion was absolutely, definitely not something she could meddle in now.

She smelled danger.

You can't stay here any longer.

Amamiya Ye immediately withdrew the head of the probe, turned around, and faced Tetsufumi Hirakawa seriously, took out the umbrella, and prepared to open it.

"Mr. Hirakawa, I'm going to say goodbye first."

Nodding to himself, as if everyone present had agreed, Amamiya Ye stepped forward and wanted to go out the door.

Then, at this time, Shiori Shinohara's voice sounded behind her.

Cold voice.

"Wait."

“……”

Amamiya stopped stiffly.
