「I’ll see you off.」

「Huh?」

「I don’t have anything I can do until Hera contacts me, so during that time I’ll see you off to your house.」

「You’re fine with not waiting here? Oh, have you decided on a meeting place or something?」

Youran asked a reasonable question. Taiyou smiled and answered.

「No matter where I am, she catches up to me with teleportation. I’ve confirmed that she can return in an instant from a hundred kilometers distance in a straight line. 」

「Whoa, that’s pretty amazing.」

「I think that your lack of caring is more amazing. Normally I think you’d be a bit shocked or grumble…」

「This is after I saw that unexplainable creature, so there’s no way I’d be surprised about something like that.」

「Makes sense.」

It made sense, but many of times, the creatures known as females didn’t quite make sense, Taiyou thought.

「You’re a fine woman.」

「Wha-」

Youran became speechless, making a face that questioned what he suddenly said.

「Ah no, I’m just saying that people like you are my type.」

「Th――」

Taiyou suddenly began thinking. That come to think of it, lately there had been those types of women increasing around him. Discerning logic, these rational women had begun to increase.

Kohaku and Youran had been conspicuous among them, and the Kotone three sisters as well as Aoba were also a similar type. Pochi, who he had met just recently and might enter his family, was close to that as well.

Taiyou himself was that type of person, and he thought that those types of people were easier to hang out with on a regular basis.

So far as women who were completely the opposite, letting their feelings take priority, he could think of no one other than Mio.

Even in that sense, Taiyou truly thought he had been blessed as of late.

「Now then, where should we……Huh, is something wrong?」

「It-It’s nothing.」

Youran for whatever reason reddened her face, averting her eyes.

Taiyou questioned what exactly had happened.

「L-Let’s go. I’ll say this for your benefit, but I’m also in a difficult situation, so prepare yourself if you want to escort me.」

Youran said, breaking into a brisk walk. Taiyou followed after her, and the two of them exited the multi-tenant building that he had forcefully opened.

「Then again……Where exactly should we head to?」

「……」

While tagging along with Youran who was muttering to herself, he stared fixedly behind her.

Youran’s taut, straightened spine, and the two wavering ponytails.

Looking at those things, a bizarre emotion rose in Taiyou’s chest.

「Hey, do you have a cell――Hyan!」

Outstretching his hands, he pulled her twintails toward himself.

「Hey!」

「Ah, sorry.」

Taiyou hurriedly apologized.

For some reason, when he saw those things of hers he wanted to pull them tight.

It was the same when they met before, and it was the same now from reuniting after coming to this island.

The academy that he was attending had quite a few girls with twintails, and Taiyou had never held those sentiments toward them even once.

For some reason he just wanted to only pull on Youran.

「……」

Youran halted, clutching at the base of her twintails while glaring at Taiyou with a sulky face. Taiyou braced himself for getting slapped for his ill-timed prank.

（Huh?）

But Youran said nothing further, turning her heels and resuming her walk. The slap he had awaited hadn’t flew at him, and the complaints that he expected to be there were nowhere to be found.

If anything, the moment she had turned around, Youran was making a facial expression as if she hadn’t seen Taiyou before.

What in the world was this――When Taiyou, interested in her expression, came to, he once again pulled――this time, her twintail on the opposite end.

Once again, with a start, Youran averted her neck.

「Come on! Give it a rest! Why do you always always pull on my twintails!」

「Uhh…I felt like it?」

「You say you felt like it?」

「I’m really sorry. For some reason when I look at your twintails I just end up wanting to pull them.」

「What kind of reason is that?」

「I’m truly sorry. I won’t do it anymore, so I’m begging you.」

Taiyou bowed with his hands together. In that position, he shot an upward glance to check, and perhaps because of him meekly lowering his head, Youran’s expression wasn’t all that angry.

Relieved, he raised his head.

「Do you do this to other girls too or what?」
