Part 1
”Wha…………What the hell is thissssssssssssssss!”
It had been two days since Yoshi+no's poere sealed
With the examinations done, shi+dou and Tohka were finally allowed to return back hoht beside the Itsuka residence, so there
On the land that was vacant just two days ago, suddenly Don, it's there
It was like getting tricked by a fox or a raccoon
”What……didn't I tell you before? We werea special residence just for the Spirit's use”
And, fro her eyes
”……………! Don't tellabout……?”
”Yes Although it looks like a norreater than nor, mana resistance is also perfect If there is a little violence, nothing abnormal will leak out”
”No, that is not what I was asking about………! When on earth did this thing get built……! This is impossible to build in just 1 or 2 days!”
”Well Even the JGSDF's disaster reconstruction teaht too”
”Wha………?”
It see told that It
”……………Whichbuilt soon, was just a big play on words”
”Don't speak badly of others I told you before that this is a trial period for Tohka living outside”
”………………Nu”
There were a lot of things he couldn't s, but it was useless to continue fighting back with her
Kotori turned around, and walked in the direction of the house
”—So with that reason, Tohka will beto up her belongings now?”
”Ah, aah…………I, see I guess so………”
shi+dou scratched his cheeks
Well, she was going to be living here until the residential area was done in the first place, and shi+dou's mental health would finally become stable because of this but………………when the day finally came, it was not like he wouldn't feel a little lonely
”Ara what is it shi+dou? Do you want to live with Tohka longer?”
”!, No, tha-that really isn't the case…………”
shi+dou denied in panic, but Kotori only shrugged her shoulders
”Well, if you want to make some kind of mistake, your final chance to do it is around today or tomorrow”
”Wha………what the heck are you saying……!”
”Sca~ary Retreat retreat”
While shi+dou was yelling with a red face, Kotori hopped and entered the house
”………Seriously, that Kotori”
shi+dou scratched his head in relief and sighed before putting a foot into the house
And—
”Un………?”
shi+dou unexpectedly raised his eyebrows
There was a little girl wearing a cute one piece, and on her head a casket that was covering her face, she ran out like she was hopping and approached him
”! Yoshi+no!?”
shi+dou called the little girl's na her body but—there was no mistake
Either way, it was because there was a rabbit puppet being worn on the little girl's left hand
”Ya-Ha, shi+dou-kun”
While the puppet clatter clatter was h pitched voice echoed
”I-I finallyme before”
”Ah, no…………that's okay What are you doing here? Are the examinations all over?”
”Un—, it's only the first exah there are more, I told theiven special pero outside a little”
After saying that, the puppet was looking up at the sky as if it was looking at <fraxinus>
”Well, with that explained, if the exaain okay?”
”Ah, aah………okay”
”Fufu, well then, see you next time”
The puppet swung its small hands
Thus, Yoshi+no twitched and swings her shoulders, and hesitantly faced towards shi+dou's direction
”Un………? What's wrong?”
”——Ah, er…………”
And, when shi+dou heard that voice his shoulders sprung up
That was not [Yoshi+non] but instead it was, unmistakably Yoshi+no's natural voice
”Is it……………okay, if I coain………?”
With that said, she tilanced in shi+dou's direction
”O…………ou, come whenever you like!”
When shi+dou replied with that, Yoshi+no's face brightened and she lowered her head, then ran away
”Fufu, great great You worked hard”
”…………Un”
Such a conversation was being exchanged with the puppet
”………………haha”
shi+dou h and the end of his lips formed a smile
Speaking of which, itunder the condition of the puppet being put on
Although he did not know the reason why…………he was a little happy
”Well then………”
After taking a light stretch, he then entered the house
He ascended the stairs, and when he was about to enter his room, shi+dou heard a soft voice
The door of the guest room located deep inside the corridor opened slowly, and fro in shi+dou's direction
”……………Wha-What is it?”
”……………………”
shi+dou said that while ether, and Tohka, while being silent, put her hand out fronal to come over
”Are you saying come over here?”
”…………………”
Tohka, then nodded And then just like that, she sank back inside the room
”Err…………”
After a bewildered expression floated on shi+dou's face for a while, he slowly took his time and walked over
And then knock knock he knocked just in case, before opening the door
Tohka was at the right hand side of the roo in front of the shelves placed close to the wall In order to face each other, he continued walking until he was in the middle of the room
”Is there so? Tohka?”
When shi+dou asked her, Tohka bit her lips a little and then raised her face
”……………Un Youfro next door”
”Ah, aah…………looks like it”
”So………u I want to have a talk about with shi+dou, while I still can”
”Talk?”
”…………Umu”
It was like Tohka had soaze away
”Yesterday, during the examination, I heard a lot fromKotori and Reine”
”——! Errrrrrr……………by a lot you mean……………?”
”Un…………it was about Kotori and the others, how they are trying to save us, the Spirits……………and shi+dou who is helping them with it”
After Tohka took a deep breath to slow her heartbeat, she fixed her gaze back to shi+dou
”The talk I was referring to, is connected to that —shi+dou I beg you From now on, if there are Spirits like me and Yoshi+no who appear, I want you to definitely save them”
”Eh……?”
shi+dou opened his eyes wide
”From what Kotori said, it seems that there are a nu theht but are still dragged into it— that kind of thing, is just pitiful”
Tohka said that, whilea somewhat sad smile
”That's why please Using shi+dou's power, please save those Spirits ………Just like that time, when you saved me”
”……………………”
shi+dou sed his saliva and, looked at Tohka again
”…………Err, hoould put it? Ummm………”
Kon shi+dou hit his forehead
Because of Tohka and Yoshi+no's affair, he should have made up histo put it into words shi+dou shook his head a little before opening his mouth
”—Aah I plan on doing so”
”………………”
Although Tohka had gained the answer she had wished for, for so with a complicated face
”Un…………I', is it okay?”
”Yeah, what is it? Try saying it”
”Un………”
And, while Tohka washer mouth, she immediately cast her face doards
”Eh? What did you say?”
She looked like she had said so but—he couldn't hear it
While shi+dou was trying to hear more clearly he took a step towards Tohka and—
