Orange soda swirls into the glass, white foam rises.

"Cheers!"

The five people sitting around the table raised their drinks in their hands and collided with each other.

The door to the room made a soft noise as it was opened, and a little girl less than 1.4 meters tall walked in with a plate.

"This is some of the fried stuff I made myself, please use it slowly."

She bowed slightly, "Thank you for taking care of your sister before." ”

"Obviously, from the outside, the proprietress here is my sister......"

After she closed the door and went downstairs, Shiratori said unacceptably.

"Maybe it's not biological, but it's a generational relationship."

Li Wu casually covered up, picked up a piece of fried sea bream fillet, and put it into the sauce made of soy sauce and radish puree.

"It's delicious."

Arisa said with a smile as she held her glass.

"Does this drink match Arisa's taste?"

Hoshikawa, who was sitting next to her, asked, "Do you need to change it to something more beautiful?" Like the red one? ”

"Huh? No need to ......"

At the end of the dinner, the five of them sat or lay down in various parts of the room, forming a picture of hell of salted fish from the stall.

"I don't feel like I want to move anymore."

Hoshikawa Aoi lay on her back on the floor, looking at the ceiling, "Shall we go to the hot spring now?" ”

"Wait a minute, it's not dark yet."

Shiratori Mao reluctantly got up from the table and knocked on the table, "How about spending time playing games?" ”

"Okay, last time I played UNO with classmate Li Wu to kill time, and the two of them were not fun at all."

Aoi Hoshikawa answered the call.

"Hey—I haven't heard Hoshikawa-san tell you about the details of your visit to the hot spring inn before, but I also played board games, which is really interesting."

Arisa covered her mouth and smiled.

Hikari sat opposite Hoshikawa Aoi: "Let me be your opponent, let me defeat you!" ”

"Why、Why is Rin-san Hori serious about me today?"

The magical girl was shocked by her decisive momentum.

"Then I'll join in, what game do you want to play?"

Li Wu was the last to offer to participate, and sat down on the side of the table alone.

Hearing his question, Shiratori Mao took out five coins and a handkerchief from his backpack as if he had been prepared.

"It won't be too long, so let's play a coin game where you can't lie, right?"

"Is it the game where everyone takes turns asking questions and using the heads and tails of a coin to indicate yes or no?"

Li Wu had only seen similar games in the comics before, so he asked.

"That's it, the point is absolutely no lying!"

Shiratori Mayi warned solemnly.

"It's a good game."

Hoshikawa Aoi held her chin with a thoughtful expression, and Airisa and Hikaru also seemed to be very interested in it

No objections were raised, and in the end, Shiratori, who won the guess, was the first to ask.

A cold glow of light flashed through her lenses.

Things turned out just as I expected.

With the help of this game, I want to see if it's my delusion or if everyone is really hiding something from me.

"So, first question."

She nervously asked, "Do you have a secret that you can't let anyone present know, but it's okay to tell anyone else?" ”

Li Wu hesitated for a moment and stuffed the positive coin into his handkerchief.

After all five of them had finished placing the coins, Shiratori uncovered the handkerchief.

One on the back and four on the upside.

Hoshikawa Aoi faltered and looked at Li Wu and Airisa.

[Two of them belong to you, don't you want me to know what happened that day?] 】

She didn't notice that the light was staring at her on the other side.

[If it's the secret of contact with the members of the organization, I've seen through it!] 】

Arisa turned her head to look at the light.

[Will there be one that is a small light?] What secret would she not want to tell someone? 】

The white bird's real clothes are like thunder.

[All four of them have secrets to hide from me!!! 】

"Shiratori, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wu asked.

"Nothing, don't take out the pen and erase my memory!"

"Huh?"

Without answering his confusion, Shiratori urged the next person to ask.

Hoshikawa Aoi rubbed the coin in his hand, thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever had intimate contact with the people present at the hugging level or above?" ”

"Huh?!"

Arisa let out a scream.

"It's bold, but I don't know who gave the coin anyway, so it shouldn't matter, right?"

Shiratori, who had just recovered from the state outside the spirit, commented.

So the handkerchief was covered again and uncovered.

"Three fronts?! Why three?! ”

Hoshikawa Aoi slammed the table and stood up, glancing at the people present.

"If it's singular, it means that one person did it with two people at the same time."

She glared at Li Wu.

"Wait a minute, what's your reaction? Why is it sure that one of the three has mine? ”

Li Wu argued.

"Can't guess whose coin it is!"

Shiratori reminded him.

Arisa, who really had an intimate interaction with a pair of childhood sweethearts on the field, picked up the drink glass and covered up her flushed face.

Then it was the light's turn to ask questions.

"Have you ever thought of betraying your friends?"

She threw out quite serious questions.

Hoshikawa Aoi looked at the light in dismay: "Does Rin-san Hori-chan know too?" But I don't think that's as serious as betraying a friend...... Although it is really uncomfortable to be hidden. ”

Hikari was quite dissatisfied: "You actually take this kind of thing so lightly! It's not a matter of simple concealment, it's a betrayal of trust! ”

"Is it a matter of this level?! But there doesn't seem to be a position to accuse people ......"

"How can there be no position! Could it be that the time spent together is also fake? ”

Hoshikawa Aoi seemed to have been empowered, revealing a look of epiphany.

"Is that so? Thank you, I see, Rin-sensei Hori, I'll make it clear tonight! ”

"If only you understood."

Hikari nodded in satisfaction.

[It seems that under my persuasion, Hoshikawa has understood her mistakes, and she should not leak everyone's information in the future, worthy of me. 】

Hoshikawa Aoi sat back in place.

[Thanks to Rin-chan's reminder, I'm obviously the one who met Li Wu first, and I have the right to ask about the matter between them!] 】

"Can someone tell me what just happened?"

Li Wu looked at Shiratori Maki, who smiled like a Buddha.

"I know you're discussing something important, please leave me alone, I'm just a passerby who doesn't know anything."

"You're not in a normal state!"

Eventually, the question of light skipped at her own request.

Next up was Arisa's turn.

She cautiously glanced around and asked, "Is it really okay to ask any question?" Then I'm going to ask this. ”

As if she had plucked up courage, she asked, "If there is a person of the opposite sex who has a crush on you, please turn the coin over to the obverse." ”

Li Wu tucked the obverse coin under the handkerchief.

When the handkerchief was removed, four face-up coins were revealed.
