Totally I had a bad experience last night.

　Yuto heads to the school building with a slightly heavier step.

''Yuto.''

　A voice called out from behind me, and when I turned around, Mizuho and Marion came up to me in their Seishou Academy uniforms.

''Ah, good morning, Mizuho-san, Marion-san.''

What's going on?　You're looking a little pale, Yuto-san.

Haha ... just a little, because I was surprisingly not tired?

Are you okay?　I don't think I've ever seen you so tired in my life.

Yes I'm worried about you. Why don't you skip school today?

It's okay!　And it's the same for Mizuho-san and Marion-san.

　Saying that, the three of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder down the well-maintained tree-lined street of Seisei Academy.

''Well I'm thinking of going to visit Akiko-san again today after school is over.

'Yeah, I know. I'm sure the spell should have been lifted and I'm sure I'll recover from this. And if I ... recover again ...

...Hm?　Yuto.

...Yuto-san?

It's nothing.

(But it's very effective...)

'Well, but if you need me, please do. Not if you're in a coma, but...

What?

'Yes, I'm sure it's part of the treatment but only when you're unconscious, right? Yuto.

Um, yeah, I know!

But.........Masato, if you gave charity while you were conscious......what would happen to you?

　Marion's cheeks dyed a bit and she asks in a whisper.

''........Eh?　What?

Oh, it's nothing!

　

''Marion's really muzzled........''

'What?　Misuzu!　You said yesterday that it would be good to experience what it's like once, Mizuho-san.

'Wow!　It is!　I just thought it was tasteless that you left your friends to their own devices and I didn't know about it, and I have no other intentions!

What are you talking about?

'It's nothing!　Erotica!
It's nothing!

No!　E, eroticist....

　The three of us are walking around in a buzzing mood.
　Summer vacation was almost upon them, and even though it was morning, the brilliant sunshine was coming on.
　Mizuho and Marion exchanged greetings with the other students passing by, and they felt that everyday life had returned to them.
　And with Masato walking beside them........they also felt an indescribable sense of elation.
　Mizuho and Marion stole a look at Yuto's profile from both sides and smiled a little bit.
　There was an indescribable sense of emotion in the two of them, and Mizuho thought it was good, albeit inappropriate, that they had invited Yuto as an examiner, regardless of the curse incident like this one.
　Mizuho's and Marion's emotions, which didn't appear on the surface, were upbeat.

　........So maybe that's why they didn't notice.

　The hot gaze, distantness, or a hostile look in the eyes of the Seishou Academy's young lady who had just exchanged greetings with them, a hostile look, etc.......
　While walking along the long, beautiful tree-lined path to the school building, Yuto saw a single step coming towards him against the students who were climbing up from the front of the school.

''Huh?　That's ... that's Ichigo!　Mari and the others are here, what's going on?

　If you look closely, Ichigo, Mari, Shizuka, and Karen are also there, and for some reason, their eyes are uniformly covered with shade. And all of them are carrying from their shoulders the bags and other items they brought with them to enter the dormitory.
　Mizuho and Marion also looked at this group, wondering what was going on.

''Ichigo!　Mari!　What's the matter with you?　Where are you going?

Yuto... right?

　Mari speaks quietly to Yuto.
　Why would he check on her?　I think, but Yuto replies.

''Uh, yeah.''

We're going home.

'What?　Where?

Of course it's Jilin High School, right?　Yuto, go back to your dorm and get your stuff and I'll wait for you.

'Huh?　Because wasn't there a little more time as an examiner?　What's going on?

　Then Ichigo comes forward.

''........Yuto.

What?

We're going to return it.

Return?

Yeah I'll tell you what happened later, but for now, go get ready to leave.

　I don't know what happened, but I don't think they're all lying from the fact that they're all carrying luggage. Yuto turns to look at Mizuho and Marion, but neither of them are able to know, and both of them are tilting their heads.

''Wow, okay!　Just a minute!　I'll ask you what happened later!

　Yuto hurriedly tossed his body and ran to the dormitory to get his things.
　Everyone there was staring at the back of Yuto.

''Yeah, I'll tell you what's going on slowly,''

　And Ichigo.

'I'll take my time explaining things to you, too.

　And Mari.

'Oh, sure, me too.'

　And Shizuka.

'I'll be there for that explanation.

　And Karen.

'Yeah, I'll explain... hey guys.

　When Ichigo said this, there was silence for a few seconds.
Then the four of them took a deep breath.

'In your body, nee!!!!'
"Yuto!　I'll explain it all to you in full!
Du Du, I'm not letting you get away with this!
'The crime of involving me, an irrelevant person....deserves all the deaths!

　"Yikes!" at the spirit of the four men. Mizuho and Marion shouted out, hugging each other's bodies in a frightened manner.

'Oh my God, what happened to that?　Ladies and gentlemen,

Well the academy is the one that asked you to return the examinee all of a sudden.　How could you be so rude?

　Four eyes came towards Mizuho and Marion at the same time as they said that.

''!''

　It was indeed a bit scary.
　
　Then Mari comes up to Mizuho and Marion.
　What is it?　But Mari's face is serious, and yet her eyes are faintly moist.
　This Mari's expression made Mizuho and Marion think that she's a beautiful person, even though they didn't know it.
　My heart boggles at the thought that someone like this was always near Yuto.
　Moreover, she knows how this girl feels about Yuto.
　In that sense, it can be said to be a very formidable rival................No, I guess their hearts already understand it that way.
　That's why I feel a bit of caution about this girl who is approaching me, or rather, a feeling of trying to keep her at a distance.
　That Mari stands in front of Mizuho and Marion.
　And Mari looked at them in turn.

''What, what........''

What is it?

　

"!

'Don't faint!　Keep your mind strong!

What?
What?

　Mizuho and Marion are dismayed when Mari hugs them tightly.
　Ichigo and the others also have tears in their eyes and are nodding their heads in agreement.

'Hang in there you two!
'It was nice to meet you both for a short time!　I'm rooting for you!
I'm praying for their safety behind the scenes too!

　It was made to look like a touching scene on its own, and Mizuho and Marion don't understand why.

''If you need anything, feel free to contact me. This is everyone's contact information.''

　Mari hands them a piece of paper with everyone's cell phone numbers and other information on it, and Mizuho and Marion take it. If they look at it, they can see that it seems to have been made for them beforehand.

'Hey, tell me what happened before that!

'Yes, what's going on?　What's in it for us?

'Hey!　I've got my stuff!

　Then Mari and the others turned to face Masato, who was running towards us.
　And the four of them nodded to each other.

''Well, let's go then.''

Yeah.

Yes.

I'm coming.

　As the four of them greeted Yuto, Ichigo put his hand on Yuto's shoulder and Mari grabbed his right hand. From behind her, the petite Shizuka and Karen pushed her back.

''Huh?　Huh?　What?　You're leaving?　Mari, I'm slightly sore......... Mito-san, snake eaters, I can walk on my own without pushing.......

　Surrounded by the four of them, Mizuho and Marion silently walked away from Yuto like he was someone who was being sanctioned with an iron fist.

''Wha, what is it?　Marion.

Well I don't know.

　A gust of summer heat passed between the two of them.
　Then, as if in a hurry, Mizuho called out to Yuto.

''Yuto-o!　Call us when you get back!

'Yes!　I get it!


　When Yuto replied, Mizuho and Marion looked relieved.
　And since they were curious about what had happened, they hurriedly headed to the classroom.
　Immediately after this, Mizuho and Marion thought they heard what they thought was a boy screaming in the distance, but they thought it was just their imagination.
