The long night opened and the long awaited three days and two nights of overnight recreation began!
　However, we're still on a moving bus at the moment.

'Whew!'
Yuki-kun, you're looking very sleepy. Are you okay?
It's okay, I'm just a late riser.

　The chairman of the committee was concerned and called out to me, probably because I was missing a lot of sleep.
　My lack of sleep is due to Lynn.
　I didn't get much sleep last night because I spent a lot of time quieting Lynn, who wanted to follow me. Lynn didn't seem convinced by the end, but Black and White said they would take care of her, so I left them to their own devices and ran out of the house.
　Incidentally, Nia and Uru are brought to the overnight recreation together because they are not conspicuous even though they are with them.
　Nia is in my pocket and Uru is drifting around me in spirit form.

'I won't relent for lack of sleep! Eleven back!
Eight cuts, and I'm up on three of hearts.
Oh, I'm up, too.
Me too.
Me too.
What?

　Starting with the 3 of hearts I gave out, the chairman, Ishida, and Aihara-san went up one by one, and Takigawa was the big poor man again.

''Nah, why?!''

　Takigawa is frustrated as he blurts out the cards.
　Phew, millionaires do it so much at home that they don't like it. It's not their careers, their careers!
　By the way, it ends every time at home with an overwhelming victory for Nia.

'Look, look, it's like we're getting off the highway already.

　When I looked outside at the words of the committee chairman, I saw a sign that said 'Asahikawa Takasu', it seems we have arrived at our destination.

'Less than two hours, that seems long and short.
You've been playing cards all along.

　Aihara-san reacted to Ishida's words. It certainly seemed long and short.
　About twenty minutes later, the bus arrived at the parking lot of the Asahikawa Museum and successfully met up with the middle school kids.

'Sis, seniors, it's been a while,'
I'd like to stay here for two nights and three days, starting today.

　Junna and Aru, who had come on the bus for the middle school students, joined up, and from here on, each group of seven to eight people, including the middle school students, will be working together.

The members are all here, so let's go then.

　We all walked into the museum in response to my voice.
　We will enter the museum in order from the group whose members are present, and we are planning to look around the exhibits related to the Ainu inside the museum for this morning.

'Hmm? This is it!

　In the midst of all this, I was alone at the entrance of the exhibition hall, overcome with emotion.
　The main character, an Ainu girl and an ex-military man nicknamed the "Immortal," was on a quest for gold, and there was a section set up in collaboration with "Golden Godsong".

'What the hell are you doing here, let's get in quick,'
Oh, but, uh...

　But there was no time to enjoy that section. I had to write a report on the contents of the visit and had to look around in half an hour to avoid confusion.
　I reluctantly left the collaboration corner while being rushed by Ishida. Ugh.....

There's some information on this exhibit that you can take home with you, so let's take that and move on.
These exhibits are ritual objects. Since these are supposed to be high-ranking ceremonial objects, it shouldn't be a problem if I just sketched this one out.

　Once we entered, we were able to get around the exhibition with overwhelming efficiency thanks to the appropriate guidance by the committee chairman and Ishida.
　The two of them are among the top five students in their school and are very quick-witted. By the way, my grade is a little above the halfway mark.

''And yet........''

　

"Yuki-san, what's wrong?
Hey, Aul, can you see that?

　I ask Auru, pointing to a building that is a reproduction of an Ainu dwelling.

'I knew you could see them too, Yuki-san. They are probably the fairies associated with the Ainu.
Okay. By the way, how many bodies does that look like?
One, two ... there are four of them in all.
Is that all you got?
'Yes. What's bothering you?
No, it's nothing.

　I see, there are 4 of them...1, 2, 3...yes, there are 13 of them in all.
　Probably, what Auru-chan can see are the four colorful balls of light in the center of the house. The other white balls don't seem to be visible.

'Auru, Yuki-san, what's going on?

　Perhaps curious about the conversation between me and Aru-chan, Junna also ran up to me.
　I also asked Junna about it, but the result was the same. Apparently, the two of them can see fairies, but not the orb (white ball of light).
　I've heard from Black that the orbs are the souls of people and animals. I don't know what the logic is, but it seems that the two of them can only see spirits.

'Oh, everyone's going to the next exhibit. Let's go too.
Yes.
You must go.

　I was disappointed that I didn't enjoy the special section of the Golden Godsake, but it's okay because I made a new discovery.

　Just as I was thinking that, a new discovery appeared in front of me.

This is a real Ainu sword with an elaborate design. It's an elaborate pattern.
It's called an Ainu Makiri. Beautiful pattern.
Cool!

　Ishida, Aihara-san and Takigawa expressed their impressions one by one. It's true, I think the pattern is beautiful and cool as the three of them say.

I feel a faint sense of magic.
This is...
'This was probably a 'magic tool'. It's lost its power now, but there may have been a sorcerer among the Ainu people who was able to make a magic tool.

　The hearing enhanced by the gods unconsciously picked up the voices of the three jutsu master groups.
　The three sorcerers, Auru, Junna and the chairman of the committee, were muttering other impressions in a volume of voice that the surroundings could not hear.
　The word 'magic tool' is the first time I've heard of it, but in terms of its name, it probably means a tool with special powers. It seems that this small sword is no ordinary exhibit after all.

''Let's take a closer look at it.''

　I strain my eyes and focus on the pattern of the small blade. Thenーー

This is the 'Kamui Makiri,' a magical tool that was mainly used to dismantle animals. It is a magical tool mainly used for dismantling animals. Its effect is...

ーーーI was able to master the effects and the manufacturing method that the little sword in front of me possessed.
　Nevertheless, it's a tremendous magic tool. Depending on how you use it, it's an effect that can be a one-hit kill.

　I'll keep the recipe for this in my heart.

"Kosuke, what are you doing, let's go!
Sorry, I'm coming.

　While I was observing "Kamui Makiri," everyone seemed to be moving on to the next exhibit. I followed them.
　The morning's museum visit was a treasure trove of unexpected benefits.



◇



Here are the snacks my husband left for me.
Moo.

　Lynn resolutely refuses to take the potato chips Black offers her.

'Kakarka?'
Moo!

　And some of the juice my husband made you? Squealing to tell him, White hands him the apple juice, but Lynn is adamant that he won't take it.

'This is troubling. Maybe Lin doesn't plan to eat anything until his master returns.
Car....

　''That's tasteless.......'' as if to say, White purred one voice.

''Can't help it my dear Lin, would a quick glance at your master help to improve your mood?''
Fix it! Fix it!
'Oh, I see. As I recall, the destination was Asahikawa, and it was supposed to be three days and two nights?
Kerr.
Hmm. Well, then, I guess I'll go see an old friend and check on my husband.
"My pleasure?
An old friend. He's a big demon that runs the whole Asahikawa area, he'll take care of you for a couple of nights.
Car....

　'Wouldn't that distract you from your master's true intention of having you stay at home quietly? Shiro is silent.
　This is because Kosuke has only given him instructions to take care of Rin, and not to not follow Asahikawa.
　And because Shiro himself wanted to stay by Kosuke's side, he gave priority to that desire.

'Ka!'
White agrees. Then let's get going. Ling, bring two days' worth of clothes. Your old friends will find you some food and shelter.
I'll be right back with a change of clothes!

　Pulling Kosuke's backpack out of his own accord, Lynn stuffed clothes and underwear into it one by one.

''Well then, shall we go?''

　Looking at Linn, who has finished his preparations, Black changes his own form into a golden lion.

'Don't be afraid to get on your back, I'll take you there.
Caw!
Hm!
"Pseudo-fogus field.

　After confirming that White and Rin are on his back, Kuro activates the ward. It's an imitation of the 'Foggy Illusion Field' that has the effect of avoiding people and hiding, and its effectiveness is on par with the original.

''Let's go!''
Caw!
Schuppert!

　The mist-clad golden lion took off into the sky, carrying a white crow and a white-haired girl on his back.
