As he spoke, Souta couldn't help yawning again. Yesterday, Kagome came back too suddenly, and the family stayed up until midnight, listening to Kagome talk about the monsters she encountered during the Warring States Period.

Unexpectedly, he was so absorbed in listening that it was late at night when he finished taking a bath.

He was still a child, and it was easy for him to not grow tall if he slept too late. "I'd better wait until daytime to listen to my brother's story, ah~"

Not long after Souta left, Kagome went into the bathroom with a mess of hair and sleepy eyes.

On the way to school, Kagome yawned while thinking about what she hadn't finished thinking about last night.

Hojo-kun, who didn't notice him behind him, approached quietly.

Reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Good morning, Higurashi--"

The next second, the hand that hadn't touched her shoulder was grabbed fiercely.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..."

Hojo-kun's scream woke Kagome up from her wandering, and she found that Hojo-kun was grabbed by her reflexive hand, so she quickly let go.

"Ah, sorry, Hojo-kun."

Hojo-kun rubbed his wrist with a grin, "Wow, Ari, aren't you sick? How come you have so much strength?"

"Ahahaha, maybe, my body is tired of lying down and resting every day, haha."

"Rest? Didn't you break your leg and have a rehabilitation operation?" So rehabilitation surgery requires lying down?

Grandpa! What excuse did you make up!

Kagome was sweating profusely, "Yes, it's rehabilitation first and then rest."

In order to prevent Hojo-kun from asking some unexpected questions, Kagome pulled his hand and rushed forward, "Hojo-kun, walk faster, we're going to be late!"

If he didn't walk, his pants would be shaken out, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

After successfully finishing a day's class, Kagome felt that her energy and spirit were all drained. Fortunately, she had self-knowledge and had prepared more courses before the Bone-Eating Well Leading to the Warring States Period. In addition, she had a year of junior high school, so she can still handle it with ease now.

"But, there are so many homeworks for the third year of junior high school. I feel like I have to stay up all night to finish my homework tonight."

Kagome sighed heavily. Hojo-kun followed him and sympathized, "It's because you haven't been to class for a long time, so you have accumulated a lot of homework."

"Aha~" Kagome drooped her shoulders in despair.

Poor third year of junior high school, evil homework, if monsters were in modern times, the resentment of doing homework alone would be enough to attract a lot of evil spirits...

"Huh?"

Modern times? Monsters?

Kagome frowned, touched her chin and thought, as if she really had never felt that there were monsters in modern times since she was a child.

"Ah, what are you thinking about?"

Hojo-kun shook Kagome. He always felt that since the start of school, the number of times Higurashi-san was distracted has gradually increased. Is it because of illness that caused too much pressure?

"Hojo-kun," Kagome asked, "Have you ever heard of monsters?"

Hojo-kun's ancestor, Hojo Akitoki, once guarded a demon sword. Although the sword was destroyed in the end, there should be something about this...

"Monster?" Hojo thought about it carefully, and under Kagome's expectant eyes, he touched his head with his palm, "Do you have a fever?"

"Uh." Kagome slapped her hand off her forehead, "Let's talk about business? What weapons or sealed monsters does Hojo-kun's family have guarded for generations?"

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Hojo-kun blinked, thought for a moment and replied, "My family seems to have ancient records, I'll go back and look for them."

Kagome's eyes lit up, she held his hand, and solemnly, "Please, Hojo-kun!"

Hojo-kun was stunned by Kagome's serious and formal entrustment, "Oh, oh, okay."
