Unlike migratory birds, which migrate with the seasons, birds that inhabit an area all year round are called resident birds.

It was the knowledge I got from animal picture books when I was still in the countryside when I was still in the country.

Rewind to the next day.

Last night's conversation came to an abrupt end when one of them suddenly disappeared, and the trail of water left on the ground dried up like raindrops falling into the desert, leaving no trace behind.

When he met her in the morning, Li Wu couldn't decide whether to ask about it, but Shiratori Mao took the initiative to distance himself and sat down with the light at the other end of the table.

"Where do you want to go in the morning?"

Arisa may have sensed the awkwardness of inexplicably growing in the team after a night and getting stuck in the communication gears, and she was not very good at playing the role of initiating the conversation, but the words turned into asking for everyone's opinions.

"After all, we are still students, so it's rare to come to Kyoto, so we can't go to Tenmangu Palace, right?"

Hoshikawa Aoi seemed to have completely forgotten about last night's events and proposed with great interest.

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning, and countless students come here every year to pray for success in their studies.

"It's better to work your own."

Li Wu remembered what happened when he had a study meeting before, "For example, start by not falling asleep while studying. ”

"I haven't fallen asleep—ah, you're talking about the last time you and the president taught me......"

Halfway through speaking, she looked at Shiratori Maai, and then froze.

"And the president...... Whew! ”

"What's the going on? Will Shiratori and I become werewolves? ”

She apparently picked up the memories of last night again, blushing and not saying a word,

"Well, are you arguing? That's not good......"

Airisa looked at Aoi Hoshikawa, who was stomping her feet alternately on the spot, and whispered to Shiratori Mai through the light.

"There was no quarrel, I think Hoshikawa-san was just too excited because he was going out to play."

She rounded the scene gently and flawlessly.

According to what was said before, today should be the last rest time before summoning the goddess of the sect and trying to completely solve the hidden dangers on Shiratori Mako, which also means the end of their short trip to Kyoto.

Whether it is the others or the Shiratori Mai who is at the center of the vortex, they all hope to forget about the dispute that is about to break out for a while and enjoy the last peace.

The location of Tenmangu Shrine is not far from the Kiyomizu-ji Temple they had visited, and after arriving, Hoshikawa Aoi immediately pulled Hikari, who was the second-to-last in the club, to seek academic duty.

…… I don't need to say who is the penultimate one, right?

"Having said that, Hoshikawa-san will use the gods as his opponent in the future, will the god of learning really give you protection?"

Looking at the magical girl who was performing the two-pat and one-bow ceremony, the top student who didn't need to pray for grades held on to her glasses and complained.

Hoshikawa Aoi, who had definitely not thought about this problem, maintained a gassho posture and was stunned.

Hikaru who was standing next to him thought about it, took back the change that he was about to throw into the box, stretched out his hand and shook the bell and pointed forward: "If we don't get full marks in all future exams, then the next one will be you, Sugawara Michizane!" ”

"Threat?!"

"That's too difficult, let's let him go."

After obtaining the two academic guards, the five of them took a short stroll around the Tenmangu Shrine.

Walking on the uninhabited path, Li Wu remembered the previous intention of Aoi Hoshikawa, and teased her: "Didn't Xingchuan say before that he already had a job as a magical girl, so he didn't need to study anymore?" I'm starting to worry about exams now. ”

"Because I thought about it later, it would be too shameful to be a magical girl like some of my predecessors in their twenties and thirties......"

She was as gloomy as she saw a dark future.

"In that case, Miss Witch will grow into a magical ......"

"Hori-rin-san, there are some things that can happen after you say something, such as being suddenly beaten three meters underground?"

"Xiao Wu, she is angry and wants to kill me and protect me."

Hikari grabbed his cuffs and walked around him, and the two men began to chase Li Wu like some famous king and assassin walking around the pillar.

Li Wu reached out and grabbed the back collar of his childhood sweetheart, and under this sudden interference, Hoshikawa Aoi, who was pursuing, successfully put his hands under the ribs of the light, and his five fingers became claws to make a tickling attack.

Hikari was rather stiff and silent, but his body was so honest that it jumped up like a spring that had broken when it had been energized, and it was almost hanging on top of him, trying to shrink back to escape the threat

Hoshikawa Aoi didn't know if she was stimulated to win or simply wanted to pull the light down, and her palms continued to roam around her flanks and waist, forcibly inflicting an irrepressible itching sensation on her.

So Li Wu felt the light attached to him writhing like a cat being grabbed by the back of the neck, and at the same time, he couldn't help but let out a slight gasp.

"Live...... Live...... Ahh ”

"Hmph, if you don't apologize, don't stop."

The magical girl who held a grudge obviously had no intention of stopping, but Li Wu felt that it was almost enough to do it here, so he let go of his hand and separated the two: "Although it is true that Guang provoked first, but you also retaliated back, so let's stop here?" ”

"Since Li Jun said so......"

The other side is not so easy to persuade.

The relieved bare eyes were filled with tears, and scratched Li Wu's back from behind: "Traitor! Undercover! Akai ○one! Ann ○ Tho! ”

"Are you some kind of evil organization?"

He easily relied on his height advantage to defuse Hori's attack, and Airisa, who fell behind, looked at the sudden farce in front of him with a helpless smile.

"Are we going to go on like this forever?"

Like a whisper left by a breeze that you will miss if you are not careful, Arisa turned her head in confusion.

"Mayi, what did you say?"

Shiratori Mayi quietly imprinted the figures of the three people in front of her eyes, and raised her hand to brush the wind-blown hair back to her earlobe: "Has Erisa considered what she will do in the future?" ”

“…… The previous ideal was to stay at home after graduating from high school. ”

Airisa was a little shy to tell the black history, "But I don't think so anymore!" ”

"Will you go to the same university as everyone else?"

"Huh?"

Erisa, who didn't understand why she asked, tilted her head, "If everyone wants to go to university, I'll go too......"

"That's a bit difficult, why don't you ask for an academic guard today?"

Mai Shiratori smiled.

"If you really can't do it, ...... Cheat. ”

Airisa said childish but resolute words, "Let Hoshikawa-san help." ”

Shiratori Maoi, who didn't expect to get such an answer, was dumbfounded for a while: "I forgot that you all have special skills." ”

Again, she said to herself, "But...... There are some things that you can't get by cheating. ”

"If you two don't leave, you're going to be left behind!"

Hoshikawa Aoi, who had already pulled away for some distance, put her hands to her mouth, leaned forward and shouted, Hikari went around behind her to try to retaliate, but because she was pulled by Li Wu, her outstretched hand couldn't reach the other party's body.

"Wait a minute!"

Airisa ran forward in a panic against the sun.

At the very least, let's immerse ourselves in the present moment.

Mai Shiratori followed her.
