Vol 2 Prologue (1/2)

Prologue

In our town, Saegusa city, there is a large-scale festival held every year on the day of the Tanabata, the Saegusa festival

Though I've said large-scale, I e that becomes a national event

Still, if you came and looked at this town recently, you would understand how beloved this festival is by the local inhabitants

For exa district

Another exarass to hang the tanzaku[1] on

After school

Walking back ho dyed little by little in the festivals colors

“Haru!”

I turned around to a fa voice and saw a person I knew

Perfectly aligned bangs in a princess cut and a ponytail swayed by the wind

The distinctively well-formed face had diminutive features that had established their owner as the fore

Kurose Kyouko The kind of relationshi+p I had with the owner of the voice that had suddenly called to me, was that of childhood friends since elementary school

“Are you going back home, Haru?”

“Nope I'll stop a bit by the bookstore in front of the station”

“He― What kind of book are you going to buy? Since it's Haru, of course, it's a?”

“NO It's past questions from the Center Test[2]”

“WHY?!”

She looked at me with her eyes widened in surprise

”Why, you ask Fro for exa measures”

“Could it be that you're thinking about taking the college entrance exam?”

“I' much on the future, but of course I have it as a possibility… what You don't believe I can?”

“It’s not that, but…… what about your work as a monster tamer?”

“……ahh… You meant that……”

Those who stand as a go-between for monsters and humans — monster tamers

By chance — I came to shoulder a duty upon which the survival of the human race depends

Shouldering that responsibility…… how come?

“……So There hasn't been any contact even after teeks?”

“Aahh Have I done so…… to make that person hate me……?”

Though I didn't know until after

It seems that in order for a rookie to work alone, an authorization from a superior (in this case, Luka) is needed

Nevertheless

The days pass and there's no news froo-lucky superior

But I have to agree that I have to be happy for working under a woman that's a beautiful monster tamer with unusually extraordinary skills

With the free ti I can do is study everyday for the exams without a care

“That person, she’s irresponsible to the core Could she have even already forgotten that you were her subordinate, Haru……?”
