After calming Yuuna from crying, Kimihito had already taken care of the monk who had previously attacked her. He hoped that no more good ghosts like Yuuna would fall victim to this kind of action. To be honest, he thought that dealing with such fanatics was a complicated thing. Therefore he could only hope.
Apart from that, there was one more thing he needed to finish. ' It's... broken.' he thought when seeing the broken window in his room.
It might be his fault, but on the other hand, if Kimihito doesn't head here soon, then he doesn't know what will happen to Yuuna anymore. He could only hope that Chitose wouldn't be mad at him.
'Even if I get scolded, maybe I'll just be told to replace it.'
While he was cleaning up all the broken glass, suddenly an idea crossed his mind, and he immediately looked at Yuuna beside him. "Yuuna... Ah, that's it!"
Hearing Kimihito calls her name made her confused, "Hm? What is it?"
"No, I was just thinking about something," he said, then cleaned up again.
"Hmm?"
What Kimihito thought was a way to save his money when he had to replace the broken glass. It's not that he's a stingy person or anything, but he's in a state of the financial crisis right now. He spent most of his money on spirit-detecting glasses and magic contact lenses, and the only way out is,
'Smith.'
Smith was the first person Kimihito thought of in this kind of situation. As a coordinator, Yuuna's needs will be borne by her, or rather the government. Currently, Yuuna has just encountered interspecies violence, which almost made her go to heaven. Luckily he came on time and solved the problem. But in return, the glass of his room was shattered. So if he told Smith about the incident that happened to Yuuna, it would undoubtedly save his money. Of course, if it's approved.
It didn't take long for Kimihito and Yuuna to clean up all the mess. After it was all over, he saw a lunch box and a few bottles of water lying on the floor.
"Yuuna, I'm going to have lunch first." he started to take the box and put it on the table.
"Um, I'm sorry I couldn't deliver it earlier."
"Don't put on a sad expression like that. I'm even glad you're late to deliver lunch today."
"Kimihito..."
Kimihito was grateful that the terrible incident to Yuuna happened before she delivered his lunch. It was natural for him to feel suspicious because the lunch she usually provided at 1 pm had not arrived, which made him curious. So he used the power of his eyes to check her condition. However, if it had happened after she had delivered his lunch, he was sure she would have gone to heaven. Therefore, he was very grateful that she had not gone to deliver his lunch.
Opening the lunch box, he saw Chitose's cooking that Yuuna had arranged neatly there, "Itadakimasu."
Kimihito began to eat his lunch. Somehow it tasted a little different when he ate from the lunchbox at home because he usually ate it at his training ground on the hill.
"Oh right! Are you going back to training after this, Kimihito?" she asked, seeing he had returned to Yuragi-sou.
"No, I've finished my training."
This was his last day of training alone, and Kimihito thought it might be okay to end it a few hours early. Besides that, tomorrow, he will train with Bomb to learn Bomb martial arts techniques. So before doing training with Bomb, he must prepare physically and mentally strong when practicing new martial art techniques later.
Speaking of Bombs, Kimihito already knew what martial technique he was good at. It was the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist. All he knew about the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist was just the name, but he thought that the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist might be similar to the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist considering that Bang and Bomb were brothers. So it was possible that their martial techniques weren't much different either.
Bam
"Yuuna-san, what happened?!"
Suddenly, Kimihito's room door opened, and Chitose's voice came. Seeing the shattered glass of Kimihito's room from the outside, she immediately ran over there to check what really happened. She was perturbed if something terrible happened to Yuuna.
After entering the room, Chitose saw Yuuna sitting quietly, and there was also Kimihito beside her who was eating lunch box, "Eh? Why's Kimihito-kun here?"
"I came home early, Chitose-san," he said.
"What actually happened here?"
"Ah! It's like this…." Yuuna immediately recounted an incident that had just happened to her. Beside her, he just continued to eat his lunch while listening to her story.
"So it's like that... Thank goodness you're okay." it was a relief when she heard all was well.
"Umm... Chitose-san, sorry for breaking the glass window, I'll replace it later. Where should I buy it?"
"No need. There's already a backup here."
Chitose had provided a spare window pane to anticipate unexpected things like now. Moreover, the windows in Kimihito's room often shattered before he arrived because Yuuna herself often flew strangers when they lived there.
"But Kimihito-kun, you still have to replace it with money, you know~" Chitose said with a smile.
"O-okay."
"Fufufufu~"
For some reason, Kimihito felt intimidated when he saw Chitose's smile. He thought that she was genuinely terrifying at this moment. Besides, his fighting instincts told him that she was strong, he didn't know how strong she was, but she was definitely powerful.
***
Evening at Yuragi-sou hot spring. Currently, Kimihito is soaking alone in a hot spring pool while looking at the night sky.
"Sigh..."
Recalling the incident this afternoon made him heave a sigh of relief. The hot spring bath also helps calm the body and mind. After all, he was happy to be able to save those closest to him.
While thinking about saving someone, suddenly a thought occurred to him about his future job of becoming a hero. He doesn't want to be a hero who can save strangers but can't save those closest to him. At least he could save the person closest to him before becoming a hero who saved others.
"Now..." he muttered as he looked at what he was holding."
When Kimihito was still soaking, he also had something in his hand. It was a smartphone, he brought it because he wanted to call someone at this time. The comfortable atmosphere while bathing will make it suitable while chatting with that person on the phone rather than just looking at the night sky.
"What is it? Why are you suddenly calling me?" a young woman's voice came from his phone.
"You aren't busy, are you?"
"No, I'm soaking in the tub right now."
'Why does she carry her smartphone while soaking in the tub?' he couldn't understand why he brought her smartphone in the tub. However, when he thought about it, he was also taking his smartphone in the bath.
"Smith, I actually wanted to talk about something." that's right, the person he was calling was none other than Smith.
"Hmm? What is it? Not usually you call me..."
"Actually, this afternoon, a monk forced Yuuna to go to heaven."
Hearing that certainly surprised her, she asked, "Has Yuuna gone to heaven!?"
"Of course not, I managed to save her." even though the monk said he wanted to rest Yuuna for his own good, Kimihito was sure that Yuuna would feel happier if she stayed in this world.
"The case with demi-humans like ghosts is quite complicated, especially dealing with people who hold such beliefs," said Smith.
"Yeah, but that's not what I wanted to talk about."
"Hm? So what exactly are you calling me for?"
"The government will take care of Yuuna's needs, right?" ask him to be sure.
"That's how it is. Her needs such as food, place to stay, and others will be taken care of by the government."
"Actually, I also shattered the inn's glass while helping Yuuna, so..."
"Fufufu~ Of course, I understand." without waiting for Kimihito to explain further, she already understood what he wanted to say.
"Sorry to bother you."
Hearing that made her laugh a little, "It's okay, as long as I can enjoy your coffee every morning~"
'I already guessed it...'
"...Maybe that's all I want to talk about. Enjoy your bath time."
"You too~"
Kimihito hung up the call and got out of the hot spring to put his smartphone in a safe place so it wouldn't fall into the hot spring. But when he came out of the hot spring, he suddenly felt like having dinner now. He decided to end her bath time and quickly put on the Yuragi-sou yukata, then walked to the living room for dinner.
