Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"I don't know what I lost...how do I find it?" Yejuya scratched his hair in distress.

"Hmm... well, how about trying to find something in the corner---maybe it's something that Miku lost?" Tohka suddenly came up with an idea.

"Well...it seems that there is no other way." Seven Sins nodded slightly.

"Yeah, let's act quickly~" Yoshina made a funny voice, Yoshina nodded in agreement---

... ...

... ...

At this moment, on the bridge of the airship Fraxinus floating [-] meters above Tiangong City, a group of Ratatosk elites are sitting in a row.

They are a group of love masters carefully selected from all over the country to assist Shidou under Kotori's command.

Everyone maintained an ideal state of tension, staring at the huge main screen installed on the bridge.What is displayed on the main screen is the image of the ground from the automatic sensing camera.

As if simulating Shidou's point of view, the upper body image of the target character Tobiichi Origami is reflected, and images from other angles and various parameters captured by other cameras appear around.

And then—right at the moment Origami asked the question, a "beep!" sound came from the bridge, and a window opened on the screen.

"There is an option...!" This was the option displayed for what Origami had just said to Shidou --- "Itsuka-san, please -- where should we talk?".

Kotori was sitting in the captain's seat on the upper deck of the bridge, shaking the double-ja candy stick in her mouth up and down, and patted her knee.

The AI ​​equipped on Fraxinus will detect the fluctuation of the target's emotional value, and present three options for what action Shidou should take at the moment.

①Actually, I have a movie I want to watch with you, go to the cinema to watch a romance movie.

②I want to say go shopping with you.Have fun shopping.

③Let's not procrastinate.Go directly to the hotel.

"Everyone, start choosing!" The crew obeyed Kotori's order and pressed the buttons at hand at the same time.

Then, the main screen immediately displays the statistical results.The option that most people choose is ──②.

"Hmm... Option ②. It's the safest option." After Kotori stroked his chin, a crew member under the bridge raised his hand and said loudly: "Option ① is also hard to give up, but it's the first option. It’s unsettling to enter a space where silence is required.”

Immediately afterwards, another female crew member also nodded in agreement: "Regarding this point, option ② has a wide range of uses, and it can also observe the other party by the way. It is an appropriate option. And no girl will hate shopping." Everyone nodded to express no objection.

Among them, a stream of sweat dripped down the cheeks of the female crew not far below Kotori. "...By the way, why did option ③ suddenly appear..."

"I have to ask the AI ​​of Fraxinus." Kotori shrugged and said. In fact, when he attacked Tohka before, Kotori also guided Shidou and Tohka to a hotel with rest services, but that was Because Tohka is an elf who doesn't understand the human world.

However, this time the target is an elf who was originally a human.In other words, the possibility that the other party knows the purpose of "that" facility is very high. If you plan to take a girl to that place from the beginning of the date, you will have nothing to say even if you get slapped.

Kotori pulled on the microphone and gave instructions to Shidou. "Shidou, the answer is here. It is ②──"

"──Wait a minute." However, Shidou lowered his voice so as not to be heard by Origami, and interrupted Kotori's words.

"what happened?"

"Didn't I say it all... Isn't this a date? And I'm not very interested in origami... Why don't you just find a cafe and learn more information..."

"Hmph---I'm really useless." Before finishing speaking, Kotori interrupted dissatisfied---

"Even if, as you said, that vanished tree has the ability to seal spirits, and Origami still likes him, but now, he does not exist in this world... the only person who can seal spirits now is you! If after today, Origami What if she suddenly becomes an elf and causes attacks from AST and DEM? What if she is defeated unexpectedly? Just because you want to wait for Lin Shu to return and push all the tasks to a person who does not exist in this world, this result... Do you want to feel guilty for the rest of your life?"

"..." Shidou was silent.

After a while, he lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry...it's my fault---"

"Phew -- it's okay, as long as you understand, so choose option two for me now."

"Ah good."

As he said that, he sighed and looked at Origami: "Well... can you go shopping with me first?"

"Huh?" Origami looked at Shidou in surprise---

"Didn't you say...it's just a conversation..." As he said that, Origami suddenly realized that such a statement was a bit too blunt...and a bit hurtful, so he quickly waved his hands to explain: "Ah, what I mean..."

"It's okay --- if you don't want to, then it's okay if we go directly to talk..." Shidou said with a wry smile, he knew...

"Ah... no, it's okay... I can do some shopping first... I have some free time today..." Seeing Shidou's wry smile, Origami couldn't bear it. After all, this person's elder brother also took part in the rescue of his parents. Great credit...Because of emotion and reason, I should greet this classmate... ...

Entering Fraxinus, Kotori took a deep breath, leaned back on the commander's chair, and frowned --- "Sure enough...it's not easy to handle... By the way, is that little wood brother's charm really so great?"

... ...

The time is six thirty in the afternoon.In November, the sun also sets early, and the town has fallen into deep darkness. Under the guidance of Kotori and the people on Fraxinus and the "forced pull", Shidou was in a daze with Origami who was not very interested It's time to go shopping...

"Ah...sorry...for taking you so long..." Shidou said with a sincere apology---he really felt sorry, obviously Origami didn't want to go shopping with him...but he used various reasons to make her not Don't accompany me...Although the rest is all paid by the people on Fraxinus...

"No...it's okay." Origami forced a smile and waved her hands... Then she couldn't help but hugged her arms and stroked them up and down a few times, as if she was a little cold---

It's no wonder, after all, at this moment --- the warm temperature during the day is just like a dream, forming a strong contrast with the present... The air is cold, and as long as one breathes out, it will turn into thin smoke and dissipate away.The cold wind swayed the trees and lifted the fallen leaves across the sky.

When Shidou and Origami heard the sound of winter's footsteps all around, they came to Highland Park where the whole town could be seen in a sweeping view.Because Fraxinus gave instructions that the date should end in a romantic place.

From the periphery of the park, you can look at the stars.But the fly in the ointment is that there are more lights twinkling on the ground than stars hanging in the sky.

"At this time, it will still be a bit cold." Seeing Origami's movements, Shidou couldn't help but said.

After Shidou finished speaking, Origami nodded slightly, agreeing: "Well, it's very warm during the day, so I was careless. If I knew it, I would have brought gloves." After Origami finished speaking, she smiled wryly and made a gesture of rubbing her hands .

Today is a day...how should I put it?Although the interest is not high, this classmate is still suspected of being a "stalker"... But for the time being, he is still polite and measured...

"Haha...that's right. Ah, by the way, go to the vending machine over there and buy canned coffee or something──" Just as Shidou was about to make an opinion, Kotori's voice came from his right ear.

"Hey, isn't that right, Shidou. The girl is saying that her hands are icy."

"..." Shidou didn't say a word, his eyes wandered for a while, and then he twitched the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew what Kotori's words meant...but...how should I say it?He felt that if he really did what Kotori wanted... ...there would probably be multiple slap marks on his face...today's "date" would come to an end here...

So Shidou pretended not to understand what Kotori said, turned around and ran to the vending machine over there, completely ignoring Kotori's resentful voice in the earphone---

As a result... just halfway through the run, his feet suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground——As a result, subconsciously, a whirlwind suddenly appeared in his hand, as if tangible, and straightened Shidou's body that was about to fall—

"Huh... so dangerous..."

In the end, when Shidou wiped the cold sweat off his head, and thanked Yuzuru for his strength from the bottom of his heart...

"Shidou run!!!" Kotori's voice came from the earphones,
