Yuto and his friends had enough of the sea, and when they returned to the villa, they enjoyed a barbecue in the courtyard for dinner.
　The second day was spent snorkeling and exploring the island, and in the evening they began a ghost story contest hosted by Ichigo.
　Shizuka interjects that it's meaningless to tell ghost stories with psychics, but surprisingly, Nina and Shizuka are fine with it, while Marion, Mizuho, and Mari are no good at kidding themselves, leaving the outsiders, including Charming, laughing hysterically.

''What the hell, you guys!　That face!

'Wow, it's not funny!　The scariest thing in the world is a ghost!

'Yes!　And Hakamada's not fair the way you talk to me!　And this candle is a bad idea!

'Shush, Shizuka, Nina, oh, you guys are often fine.

　A teary-eyed Marion, Mizuho and Mari shake their bodies and get angry.

''What?　I don't believe in them.

I don't get it either, are you really that scared?

　Mari sincerely envied the two of them for their bluntness at this statement while having a friend with abilities.
　Ichigo grinned and opened his mouth with a grimace.

''The next story is, you know, a famous story from our Jilin High School...''

No!
That's enough, let's stop!
Hakamada-kun!　Stop it!

Wow, but when you have such a good reaction. You're totally fine with it, aren't you?

''Haha ... I'm not at all. Because I'm usually attacked by miscellaneous spirits a lot, so I'm used to it.

""What?"

　The girls who can't tell a ghost story leave Masato like a receding wave.

'Hey, Yuto!　What the hell is that?　Not at all. It's not funny!

You can't come in here!

'You're in a tent today, too!　I don't want someone like that in this house!

'What?　Oh no!

　Kurama and Tsukuba were in Masato's lap as he peeled his eyes open and was surprised to find Kurama and Tsukuba sleeping in his lap.



　The third day was free and Kurama and Tsukuba and the others, as usual, went to play energetically at the beach with White and the others.
　Mizuho, Mari and the others spent their own quiet time inside the cool villa, and they were all looking forward to the last night, which Akera had even arranged for fireworks.
　Yuto and Ichigo were on the terrace of the courtyard overlooking the ocean, leaning back in their reclining seats.

''Well, it's great to experience such a wonderful trip, Shitenji-san, you're very kind, Yuto.

''Well, Kurama and Tsukuba were also very excited, so I'm really grateful to Mizuho-san. If it hadn't been for Mizuho-san's offer, we wouldn't have been able to have such a luxurious trip.

　Saying that, Yuto turned his head back and saw that Mizuho and the others seemed to be enjoying a card game with Shizuka in the living room where they could see clearly from Yuto and the others.

''Well, Yuto,''

Yeah?　What?

You know ... who's the best of those four?

'What?　What, all of a sudden?

I mean, you promised me at the school entrance ceremony that you would try to get a girlfriend. You promised me you'd work hard to get a girlfriend. Well, then, I think those four guys are going to be the closest opposites to you right now.

That happened... well, as it turns out, I was so busy with my day-to-day life that I didn't think about it that much.

...Masato. Can I tell you something serious for a second?

What's the matter with you, Ichigo?

'No I get the feeling looking at you, you know. You're trying to keep the girls away from you. It's like you're putting the brakes on yourself.

....

You... are you in love with someone else?　Don't even tell me about it.

....!

"Well that face is a figurehead. I don't know what she looks like but who is she?　Is that your crush?

....

　Yuto turned serious.
　Then, Yuto stared towards the ocean in the distance.
　
　From that moment on, when he met that girl in the demon world and was attracted to her, Masato's battle in the demon world became more intense. The path she was on was that much harsher and steeper.......and full of hope.

(Liese........)

　When Yuto made the decision to be by her.......Lieselotte's side, Yuto's world was no longer his own.
　When she moved forward, he stood in front of her. If she shared when she was in pain, if she cried, she was sad, if she laughed...Yuto was saved.
　And that Lieselotte is no more.

Right now........

　When Yuto said that, Liese in front of him seemed to show an angry expression.
　It was as if she was scolding Yuto now.

"I'm not attracted to someone who can't feel anything for someone, you know?　Yujin. I'm angry at someone, I hate them, I pity them, I pity them, I appreciate them, I want to be with them... and I like someone who can think I like them for it!　It's always and at all times!"

　Yuto's eyes widened in surprise.
　Now, as if a pleasant breeze from the sea had brought the voice of Liese Lotte that was said at some point.......

'That's right, Liese........ I wish I could love someone else, too. That's why I shouldn't have been so insensitive to my own heart...

Yeah?　What?

　Okay!　And Yuto clenched his fists.

'Ichigo!　I don't use the fact that I'm busy as an excuse!　I still want her!

'Oh?　What is it?　You're so motivated all of a sudden.... Okay, but good, so, back to the point, how about those four guys?　Those four are high level, from what I can see, right?

　When Ichigo looks towards Mizuho, Mari, Marion and Nina who are still playing a card game in the living room, Yuto turns his gaze towards them as well.

''Hmmm...''

'What!　You don't like it?　This is surprising....

'What?　No way!　Wow... are these guys pretty?　And you're smarter than me. I don't think I'm a good match, and honestly, I think it's a miracle that we're friends. So if I ever get to go out with you, I'll be surprised at how happy I am!

Hey, what, why don't you try attacking someone else then?

'It's just, I mean, it's not like I'm attacking them. What can I say.......those four guys are scary sometimes......they get angry easily. The day before yesterday and yesterday I was the only one who slept in a tent, you know?　I don't think this is a bit of a stretch.　I think.

...Yeah, that's for sure.

　Ichigo agrees with me here. Thanks to that, Ichigo was alone in his room, even though we were all traveling together. To be honest, it was boring.

''I mean, I may have my faults, but as expected, I feel unreasonable at times.

"Oh?

(Hey, this is interesting!)

　This was what Ichigo instantly thought.
　That, and surprisingly, it was fun to hear the true feelings of frustration that Yuto was unreasonable with these girls. It seems that the incident with the tent this time is having an effect on that.

(He hated living in the tent for a long time, quite a bit, wasn't he, Yuto? ) There was a part where he worked for that reason, so the punishment this time touched that area. But still.........I thought this guy was just a dominant person, but it looks like he's not, to a point, I'm relieved.)

　The four girls over there are also important friends to Ichigo. And yet, with his keen instincts, Ichigo knows that these four girls would have an extraordinary fondness for Yuto.
　
　But........that's where the guys are.
　Ichigo is first and foremost Yuto's mate.
　He affirms that Masato was indeed dissatisfied with the treatment of this time, as expected of him.

(Alright!　I'm sorry for those four, but I'm going to side with Masato. (Let's rush them a bit.)

'Yes. Men, after all, somehow in their heart of hearts, look for motherhood or tenderness in women. In that sense, those four are too hard on you.

'Isn't that right?　You know that, right?　Ichigo. No matter how super-awesome your face was, if it was that strict every day, it's tough!　Especially tents!

　After saying that much, Yuto became a little calmer and realized something.

'Well, I don't know if it's right for me to be talking on the assumption that we can go out without permission. I was rejected by Mari once, and........that?　On second thought, doesn't this story make sense?　You can't talk about girls you can't go out with anyway. They are people who have already started a fan club... it's not like I'm the one who has to talk about it. If they wanted to, they could have had a boyfriend any time they wanted to.

'No, no, it's fine. It's just hypothetical.

Now, now, now, don't get cold feet.

Oh, okay.

'But yeah, guys want to be soothed once in a while, don't they? Shirasawa-san, Shitendera-san and the others are too ignorant of the fact that, basically, men have a real desire to spoil their girls. No matter how beautiful a girl is, a guy who goes out with her is going to have a hard time, yea.

'Haha, true!　 What kind of girlfriend would be able to heal me?

(Yeah?　Come to think of it, Lise used to get mad at me a lot....... (I thought I only knew stern girls.......do I actually like that kind of person?

　You're not!　He shook his head violently.
　Then Ichigo nodded widely.

''Okay, okay!　Yuto. Leave it to me.

'What?　What?

I'll introduce you to a girl.

'Seriously?　Can you do that?

Yeah, who the hell do you think I am?　And I'm going to introduce you to.......gentle, demure, pure girls.......?

No, he's gentle and quiet.

　The expression on Yuto's face is like looking at the farthest thing from him, like he's facing a super high quality melon that he can never reach.

''Let's have a blind date!　Yuto. The other party........the girls of Seisheng Academy!

What?

　Yes.........Ichigo had inadvertently made connections with a few Seisei Academy students.
　Even now, they still communicate with each other via email frequently and have already agreed to meet with each other if the opportunity arises.
　However, the people I'm dealing with are, needless to say, young ladies.
　And since they are very pure girls, he thought it would be a good idea to avoid meeting them one-on-one for the first time. Initially, Ichigo had planned to invite Shinki Yuuta, who is known to be a walking shorty, from the same class, but then he came up with the idea of inviting Yuto as well.
　However, Ichigo knows that this is a very dangerous act as well.
　If this were to be found out by those four people........

''No!　We've got to open this one up now!　I'll put this body on for my best friend!

　Ichigo stands up and extends his hand to Yuto.

'Come!　Yuto. Our utopia is right in front of us.

　Yuto stared at Ichigo's hand that was extended to him.
　And then........he gripped that hand tightly and stood up.

''Ah!　One-word!　I'm not stopping now!　I'll take care of you!　Gentleness and entrapment until I hold it in my hands!

What are you doing?　Both of you.

Noooooooo!

　Ichigo and Yuto jumped up all over when Shizuka suddenly opened the large window in the living room and called out to them.

''Nah, it's nothing!

'Oh!　What?　Mr. Mito.

'Well that's fishy. What were you discussing?

　Yuto and Ichigo buzzed and shook their faces.

''Hmmm ... well that's fine. It's almost time for lunch, can you go get the guys?

"Aye aye sir!

　Shizuka stared at Zito and the two men as they passed through the gate at breakneck speed and headed towards the sea.

'What's wrong?　Shizuka.

　Mari, Mizuho, Marion and Nina and the others gather at the window.

'Yeah?　Oh, there's something fishy about those two....

　Shizuka puts her hand to her chin as she thinks for a bit.

''Hahaha ... yes!

?

By the way, guys.

　Shizuka turns to Mari and the other four.
　All of them, what?　A face like.

'Is there anything wrong with your body?　Now do this ... try to sharpen your damsel's senses.

What?

　Mari and the others nodded their heads at Shizuka's incomprehensible question... but gradually

'Come to think of it ... a chill or something like that ... an irritation ...'

　And Mari.

''Well I certainly have the tingling sensation that I've encountered a difficult enemy.

　And Mizuho.

'Oh, me too, what is it?　This uneasy feeling.

　And Marion.

'I wonder what it is?　If you ask me, it's getting annoying.

　And Nina.

　Shizuka nodded widely as she listened to the four of them.

'Alright, alright!　Guys. Let me take care of the rest.

　Shizuka grinned and the four girls tilted their heads again and began to prepare the meal.
　The four girls regretted a little bit for letting Masato stay in the tent alone, and they each worked hard to prepare the dishes they had practiced for him. For Mizuho and Nina, it was even their first time cooking for them.



　Shizuka's eyes shifted to the ocean.

'Hakamada-kun, I don't know what you're thinking, but it's going to be interesting!
