Common holiday short story - Shia's case

It's been a week since there was a bug in the Vatican with a priest blaspheming things.

"Soare! Follow me even if you're willing to die!!"

"Yes, I'm happy ♡"

　In the world inside the treasure house――the ``miniature garden'', bursting spirits and sticky voices of joy resounded.

　Along with Shia and the red slime sitting on top of her head, Soare is a true Shiasky and a ``divine spirit of the fire ring'' that controls sunlight and heat.

　After a beat, pale blue-white magical light and spiritual light like sunlight hit the sky.

　Two pillars of light blowing away the clouds in the sky in a circular shape.

"Magic power in the right hand"

　A pillar of light of magical power focused and resided in Shia's right hand.

"My left hand is full of spiritual power!!"

　While showing his strength, he focused the spiritual power of sunlight in his left hand.

"One shot of spirit – fusion!!"

　Their fists slammed together, making a sound that I couldn't believe was made by living flesh.

　A fierce light fills the miniature garden. The shock dissipates in waves.

　The branches and leaves of the Treasure Tree, which boasted an unbelievable thickness and strength, were shaken by the shock, the grassland in front of the Treasure Tree was rippling like a storm, and water was splashing from the many rivers flowing from west to east.

　Again, a beat.

　The flash and shock subside. At its center,

"Kukukuku, finally, finally!"

　There was a figure of Shia wrapped in a thin black aura. She is looking down at her hands and smiling wickedly.

　Something like that. He seems to be a villain who awakens by stealing power and becomes intoxicated with a sense of omnipotence.

　Furthermore, the clothes did not fly off. Today's attire is a battle costume (regular wear) from the Tortoise era to add to the spirit, so the spirit is different from the priest's uniform in terms of durability.

"It's a success!!"

　Pin the rabbit ears. The fist pump hit the sky with such force that it seemed like it had easily exceeded the speed of sound, and a cracking sound was heard, and then the sky split open.

　No, it must be an illusion. It just looked like a crack had appeared for a moment.

　This is a "miniature garden". Even if we can see a sky similar to Earth's, there is a limit, and there are walls of space... but it's not so soft that it will crack when you fist pump.

　Anyway, one beat.

""""Ooooooooooooooo!!""""

　A huge cheer goes up all at once. A round of applause and cheers.

　In fact, there were many other people in this place besides Shia and Soare.

　A week ago, there were people who suddenly came to see Shia, who continued to self-destruct under the guise of training for some reason, for entertainment――but rather, they watched her subtly, and before they knew it, they were looking forward to seeing the results.

"Amazing, amazing!!"

"Sia-sama is wonderful!!"

"Miss, let's do it!"

"What a force! It resonates to my soul!"

``I don't understand. Why be successful? Isn't it rather ominous? "

"H-The son of man is terrifying..."

　From top to bottom, they are the fairy sisters Rune and Chino, the demons who look up to Shuten Douji as their head, and the dragon gods from the same fairy world.

　There are also many other fairies and demons sitting on the branches and roots of the treasure tree, and they surround Shia in a circle as well, and the ``emigrants to the miniature garden'' are amazing, even though I don't really understand them! They let out thunderous cheers.

　Shia responds by waving her hand, "Thank you!"

　It seems like her entire body is overflowing with embarrassment, happiness, and a sense of accomplishment. His expression is filled with the radiance characteristic of someone who has accomplished something.

　Of course.

　Even when Yue tries to stop him because it's dangerous, he convinces her, saying, ``My passion can't be stopped,'' and repeats trial and error over and over again.

　Every time, I would vomit blood, I would be unable to move, I would explode like something out of a gag manga and be blown away, or I would just keep shouting "Banana!" with a stupid face on my face...

　I had a tough (?) week, and since I also had university, I also used the Hour Crystal for a total of one month.

　In the end, he was able to accomplish the originally impossible phenomenon of ``self-merging of otherworldly energy'' with his determination.

　By the way, above Shia's head.

"Ngii, hehehehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

　For some reason, the red slime on my head was moving. If I were to describe it without being obtuse, it would look like she was in agony.

"Hmm? You're all fired up, Soare! I've gotten the hang of the fusion itself. I feel like I'm gradually gaining resistance to the load! All that's left is to do the repetitions and get your body and soul used to it! You'll shoulder the burden until I get used to it. , I beg you!"

"Shi, Shia is relying on me... Hehe, what is this so cool?"

　Apparently, that's the case.

　Without hesitation, he tore her soul to shreds while screaming for Shia's sake, but it was his doing--the Soare (main body) that created the Bungoryo.

　In that case, even if it's a taboo technique that places a tremendous burden on the soul itself and could cause serious damage if done too much, it's nothing special as long as I shoulder most of that burden. That seems to be the case.

　What a terrifying -- but rather, beautiful passion. This divine spirit would truly do anything for Shia.

　In fact, with infinite magical power and an element conversion system, she has plenty of spiritual power, so there is no need for her to be in slime form anymore, but Soare prefers slime form because it allows her to stick to Shia.

　Among the divine spirits whose pride was originally higher than that of Everest, Soare was in the stratosphere-breaking class.

　Her skill level seems to know no bounds, and seems to be improving day by day.

　Maybe he even picks a fight with his mother, Lutria, depending on the situation?

　The ones here are just the spirits of the gods, but...

　When he goes to the astral spirit world someday, he wonders how his body, which will surely share his memories, will react. It's fun and scary.

　Well, that's about it.

"Are you serious..."

　Hajime, who was leaning his back on Houki and folding his arms while watching Shia, murmured while his cheeks twitched a bit.

--I feel like I'm going to have a good time today! !

　Shia said as she announced her debut.

　I just had something to do in the "miniature garden", so I decided to watch over her until the scheduled time...

　I never thought I would actually succeed.

　I thought Shia would do it someday. However, although she has Soare shouldering most of her burden, she has only been there for a month without the foundation that has been built up over half a century like Director Dime.

　I've gone beyond being surprised and am a little taken aback. Really, how far will this bug rabbit go?

"Hey, hey. Hey, you're okay, right? Soare's guy is kind of prickly."

　Two strands of chestnut hair fell into Hajime's field of vision.

　As always, Enti, the divine spirit of the Stream and the Goddess of the Treasure Tree, who liked to sit with her butt on Hajime's head, was peering down from above.

"It's like it's constantly being blown up from the inside."

"This is not the time to be carefree!"

　A red slime that flickers and grows spines like a sea urchin. It sure looks dangerous.

　However, what I hear is "For Shia! For Shia! If you think about it, this pain will be fine♡.

"Aren't you okay?"

"Uh, ummm…"

　Enty-chan looks extremely complicated.

　Even if it rots, it can be tolerated because it is a divine spirit, but it is still dangerous. Originally, it was impossible, so even as a divine spirit, I don't know what will happen.

　However, the actual compatriots soares happy to accept the offer. other how many peopleNanbitoHowever, he doesn't give up on this role, and even gives off a slightly sinister aura that threatens him.

　Moreover, he even seems happy when Shia cheers him on, saying, ``Do your best, do your best, So Ah Le! If I were to call her an oblate, she would be a bit of an idiot. she can't stand watching.

　Enti looked away from his compatriot.

"Even though it's for Shia, I don't want to end up like that."

"Don't be. I don't want the goddess of my world to be like that."

"Uh"

　Enti-chan reacts to "Goddess of my world". Her cheeks were slightly colored, but her expression was frowning. She pinches Hajime's cheek with her bare feet and starts to moan. She also tapped her forehead with the fingertips of both her hands, as if she was playing her own drum.

　Contrary to his expression, his shyness and good humor are evident in his gestures. What an easy-to-understand tsundere.

　Hajime-san is so annoying that he grabs his leg and throws him away.

"Kya~!? W-what are you doing! When are you going to start respecting me properly?"

　Enty spins round and round in the air and returns to the top of your head with a lightness that completely ignores gravity.

　Coupled with her dancer-like costume, her movements are so graceful that you can't help but admire them, but her face shows a childish personality, giving her no dignity at all.

"I respect you, I respect you. Long live the great Enti."

"That's not right! That's not true! Just say 'I love you' with more heart! Also, just add 'Enti-sama is cute' and it'll be perfect! Hey, hey!"

　Hajime looked at Shia again as he heard some kind of cheers while treating the child(?) who was playing with him.

　The demons have gathered together to form something like an impromptu amphitheater. In the center, Shia and a large demon were facing each other.

　It looks like he's trying his hand at it. Does this mean that actual combat is the best way to get your body and soul used to it? Or perhaps the demon's fighting instincts were stimulated by the vibrations of power emitted by Shia.

　Both of them are facing each other with fearless smiles and banging their fists. Immediately after that, the big demon set it up. He steps forward at an unusual speed and slams his large fist down.

　The great demon is over three meters tall, so if you look at it from the side, it looks like a huge rock is slamming down on you...

　Impact sound. and,

"W-what?"

"Did you do something just now?"

　Shia didn't even guard. He remained upright, not moving in the slightest. With a fearless smile on her face, she speaks lines that sound like a villain.

　It seems that after receiving the rock-like fist of the great demon on the head, he only felt the effect of a gentle breeze.

　And then, and so on.

　Have you noticed? This woman has hardly strengthened her body.

　In other words, there's still more to come...kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! (by Kokoro Hajime)

　The demon's expression was so tense that even a casual observer could see it. I could see the corner of his mouth murmur, "Are you lying?"

　Shia's hand was gently brought forward. A gesture that lightly pushes her away.

　Just that,

"Oooooooooooooooo!!?"

　The demon is blown away spectacularly. His fellow demons, who were acting as a gallery and wall, hurriedly caught him, but even they scraped the ground with their feet.

　The great demon let out a heavy breath and grimaced as he held one hand around Hato's tail.

　He looked up, looking somewhat shocked. Ahead of her line of sight was Shia, her palm still sticking out towards her.

　The hand turned around. His fingertips are slightly bent.

　The most obvious provocation.

　The demon's forehead twitched.

"If you're the best, you're good!!"

　An explosive eruption of demonic energy erupted. His entire body was covered with a reddish-black aura, and his already gigantic body became even more bloated. My muscle daruma thinned out more than twice as fast as before.

　A fist swings down, creating a crater on the ground. Shock waves and rumblings propagate through the miniature garden.

　It's a tremendous power. Isn't it as powerful as Shia's level VI punch? Apparently it's a demon with quite a name.

"Damn, where did you go!?"

"Here it is."

　When I turned around, I saw Shia standing calmly several meters away.

"You're fast, aren't you? But, just because you avoided it means it'll hurt if it hits you!"

"No? I thought my clothes would get dirty."

"Do you underestimate a demon!? Lick me to death! Come with all your strength!"

"Fine. Don't look away even for a second, duu!"

　In an instant, Shia disappeared. At least that's how it seemed to the demon. The moment I realized it, it was right in front of me.

　Although he is scary, he is an old demon that boasts a long history of fighting as a great demon. His body moves by reflex. Faster than she could think, her fist, which could easily crush steel, became the fastest and shortest hook and aimed at Shia's head.

　But it still disappears.

　And my spine stiffens.

　At this moment, the demon's vision became slow motion. His body moves to turn around as a reflex, but his instincts tell him that. "Oh, this is bad..." I thought.

　Looking over my shoulder, the first thing I saw was Shia who had gotten behind me and was tightening her fist like a bow and arrow. Her eyes were tinged with light, and the afterimage of that light was both beautiful and terrifying.

　The moment I realized this, my field of vision was filled with a huge fist.

　It's like a wall. In human terms, it feels like a dump truck is approaching in front of you.

　It was only after I was completely stopped that I realized that this was a hallucination caused by my fearful heart under the pressure of Shia's fist.

　One beat later, a tremendous impact sound resounded, followed by screams of "'Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

　When the great demon looked back over his shoulder in fear, he saw a scene where the grassland had been gouged out in a radial pattern, the hills to the north had disappeared as if they had been hollowed out, and the demons in the gallery were dancing in the air like leaves. It was spreading.

　Only by the shock of it, it passed through the great demon and went behind it.

　What would have happened to the demon if it had been hit directly?

　I didn't even have to think about it. A cold sweat breaks out.

"Are you still going to do it?"

"...... Surrender!"

　Shia's smiling face was frightening. The great demon, whose demon energy disappeared, could only stand there with his face twitching.

　Seeing such a scene, in the opposite direction of the shock, the demons and fairies on the side of the treasure tree emitted thunderous applause and cheers, and Enti said, ``Ah, my garden is here! Hey, Shia! What are you doing?! Take care of nature! Right!?'' she said, half crying as she ran away.

　And speaking of Hajime...he muttered with an expression exactly like the great demon.

"Which wa*panman is this?"

　Since she's a woman, she's probably a Wampa*woman. In any case.

"Fuhaha, fuhahahahahahaha, amazing!! Truly amazing!! With this power, I can go to even greater heights. I feel like I can do anything now. Fuhahahaha"

　Is he simply getting high, or is his fusion technique just like Director Dime did?battle fanaticberserkerAre there any side effects that may cause

　Shia is starting to look like a fully fledged character, so

"Well, I hope we can understand...but can we stop time in case we need it?"

　With that, Hajime started walking towards Shia, feeling a little uneasy.

　A few minutes later.

"Well, I'm sorry. I might have been a little irrational."

　There was a shy Shia laughing.

"It seems like it's a technique that affects the soul. Should I also create an artifact that forcibly resets the mental state?"

"I think you'll get used to it after you do it a few times."

"However, there's probably a limit...at most, you can hold it for about three minutes?"

"Hmm, what do you think? That's probably it for now, but I feel like it will last longer with repeated training."

"It's repeated...Enti ends up crying every time."

　At the base of the treasure tree, Hajime turned his shocked face towards the east.

　The terrain had changed. Just like on the north side, where the hills have disappeared, it has been gouged out in a straight line into a half-pipe shape. Water from a nearby river was flowing into it, creating a new tributary.

　When Hajime went to stop him, the excited Shia-chan, who wasn't listening to him at all, casually released a punch to show off to Hajime.

　``Please look at me, Hajime-san! Shichijo Oyari ○ sound!'' he said while smiling.

　Once again, I dare to say that it wasn't a serious fist, but a casual blow.

　It was like a very thick laser like Bars Hyperion. However, it was a dark laser that seemed to absorb light, the exact opposite of sunlight.

"You should apologize to Enti later. He was shocked that Shia broke his knees, right?"

"Ah, that's really remorseful. Senseless destruction of nature is definitely not allowed! I sincerely apologize."

　The rabbit ears are droopy. It seems like he is seriously remorseful.

"But, Hajime-san…"

"Yeah?"

"Isn't there another way to stop it?"

　Shia pulled her rabbit ears to hide her face. her cheeks are stained. She is fidgeting.

"It can't be helped, since you were having fun without having the rabbit ears to listen to. It was almost like I had to put up a fight."

"I-I'm sorry about that, but in front of everyone watching, wow!"

　Shia glanced up and immediately lowered her face in embarrassment.

　When Hajime was dragged and looked up, he saw something on the branch above his head. fairy sistersRune & Chinowas peeking out. Covering her eyes with both her hands, I looked at her through the gap between my fingers. Both of their faces are bright red. At the same time, I feel hopeful. It's like saying, "What's next? Hey, hey, what's next?"

　The same goes for the other fairies. Hiding behind the branches and leaves, I peek at them curiously.

　The demons who are helping restore the devastated land under Enti's instructions also seem to be concerned about this.

　Some of them - mainly demons - blatantly grinned at me and sent me vulgar glances.

　The reason was the way Hajime stopped him.

"Not only are you going to rub me all over the place, but I'm going to push you down and kiss you...I wonder how I should look when I interact with the fairies and demons in the miniature garden from now on!"

　Well, that's the thing.

　The words of restraint were ignored, and in front of Shia who looked like she would be willing to fight if she used all her strength, Hajime had no choice but to attack her in a different sense.

　We kissed for about 10 seconds while the yellow cheers of fairies echoing, the roaring voices of demons flying around, and the dragon gods and other deities giving us shocked looks. As a result, the fusion technique was canceled naturally, and Shia herself looked dumbfounded.

　For the time being, Hajime said with a wry smile that it was his fault. While patting Shia on the head, he became a little more serious and repeated his words.

"First of all, fusion technique---ah, have you decided on a name yet?"

"of course, Kanka○――"

"Rejected"

"Hell and hell..."

"Anything like that due to rights issues will be rejected!!"

"Hmm...Then I'll go with fusion martial arts (tentative) for now."

　Hajime regained his composure and continued while clearing his throat at Shia who looked a little dissatisfied.

"Fusion martial arts is-"

"Fusion Martial Arts (tentative)"

"Hon! The fusion martial arts (provisional name) was a success, so from now on, please refrain from being reckless and train systematically. I'll also research the principles and reproducibility to reduce the risk. .Everyone was kind of worried.''

"Uh, I understand. It looks like Soare needs a break for a while, so I'll do as you say."

"No, I guess I need a break..."

　Bujin Usagi's passion finally subsided when he saw Director Dime, and he obediently listened.

　However, the price seems to have been heavy. --of Soare.

"Banana! "

"Soare! Soare, can you hear me!? Stay strong!!"

"Baaaaaaaaa! ! "

"No, I only say bananas. It's too late."

"...Look at that face. It looks happy, right? It's still a divine spirit."

　A little far away, there was Udal, the divine spirit of thunderclouds, holding a red slime in his palm and calling out to him.

　For some reason, no matter what they say, Barafu, the spirit of ice and snow, and Oros, the spirit of the earth, look at their compatriots with pity on their faces.

　Since he has the form of an ice eagle and a rock golem, you can't see his facial expressions like the humanoid Udal, but you can feel the emotion of ``I don't want this to happen'' just by the sound of his voice and atmosphere.

　For the time being, I have given them an artifact that protects or heals the soul, and Udal and the others seem to be healing it, so I think it will return to normal over time...

"Don't you feel cold toward Soare, the way you don't hesitate to ask for things that you wouldn't normally do, like shouldering a burden?"

"That's right?"

"Is that so!? Are you intentionally treating me poorly?"

"That's right?"

"That's right!?"

　That's an unusual response. Shia's smile is a little scary.

"Did something happen?"

``It's nothing special... However, there's a room inside the Houki that's like a room exclusively for Soare, and there were hidden photos of me plastered all over the wall, so I thought, ``I'll do anything to this guy.'' Is it okay? "I don't think so."

"I definitely think so."

　Soare-san seems to be stalking me in earnest.

　For the time being, I have placed some artifacts in the treasure tree for the use of fairies and demons that can be used to make mental pictures of the scenery seen on paper for research and record purposes in the "miniature garden"...

　It seems that Soare-san was using it to satisfy his own personal desires, ignoring its original purpose.

　This is indefensible.

"Besides, isn't it about time to meet up?"

"Oh, that's right. However, it seems like he hasn't arrived yet."

"Is it because of work? I'm the most 'social worker' out of all of u

"That's right. I never expected that I would be entrusted with so much work in such a short period of time, in a different culture where everything is so different. I guess it's just a matter of age."

"You shouldn't say that in front of him, right?"

"As expected, I know that much."

　Hajime shrugged at Shia's glare.

"However, I can't help but think that if it weren't for her usual perverted behavior, she would be a good woman that I could really respect, right?"

"Ahaha… I can't deny that."

　Smiling bitterly, Shia seemed to be thinking about something. She groans a little, looks around her, and nods.

"what up?"

"Looks like I have some time."

　Shia slowly makes the treasure house shine. Wille Doryukken appears.

　Leaving Hajime wide-eyed wondering what was going on, Shia activated her divine equipment mode. A seven-colored formation appears around the warhammer.

　He rotated Wille Doryukken once with just his wrist, pressed one of the dark-colored law formations against the striking surface, and hit the ground as if pressing a punch.

　Immediately, darkness suddenly overflowed and swirled around Hajime and Shia, closing them in darkness.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?"

"Now you won't be able to see it! Let's make out until the end of time♪"

　Instead of light, Shia emitted magical power and was tinged with a faint pale blue-white glow, and she smiled and hugged Hajime from the front.

　Hajime was a little surprised, but his expression softened immediately and he put his arm around him.

　At the feeling of being hugged back, Shia's rabbit ears seemed to lose their strength and slumped onto Hajime's shoulders, and her expression became happy. One of her legs naturally wrapped around Hajime. They fit closely together as if to say that there are no gaps allowed.

"It's okay. I won't push you down and attack you."

"That's more like a man's line..."

"Just Saki-cchi, just Saki-cchi."

"So that's a line that girls shouldn't say very often..."

　We kissed a few times, just touching the tips of our lips. Apparently, he was feeling excited because of what happened earlier. However, considering Hajime's plans after this, they kept it to a light kiss like that between family members to show their affection, so it seems like they were being considerate.

"I think we were quite flirty just the other day?"

"It's Hajime-san's fault for suddenly pushing me down. Besides, the plans for the touring date the other day changed a bit."

"Shia is a beloved character. I guess words alone weren't enough to reassure her."

　In fact, just two days ago, Shia and Hajime went on a one-day touring date, just the two of them.

　We had planned to go on a half-day date, skipping the coastline, enjoying hot springs and food, and returning home, but...

　My mistake was to happily tell my circle mates about my plans.

　Surprisingly, Shia's friends from the university's motorcycle club ``Go-on!'' had come to the hot spring inn ahead of her, pretending to be a coincidence.

　Although she was satisfied with the relationship between Hajime and Shia at the usual social gathering, it was just a temporary situation. Apparently, she was worried that Shia was being treated as a convenient woman.

　Normally, they aren't the type to step into someone's love path, but the relationship between Hajime and Shia is too special, and they all seem to really like Shia, a junior, so they go on a date with their own eyes at least once. It seems that he couldn't help but check on the situation.

"It's been a while since we've had time together, so I'd probably be angry, but..."

　When I arrived at the hot spring inn, I thought to myself, "Huh? There's a group of bikes that look familiar..." and as I expected, I found my circle friends hanging out in the lobby.

　When the most boyish senior of hers greeted her with a blunt, ``Hello, what a coincidence, Shia,'' Shia was astonished, but...

"If it was just a turtle with buck-toothed teeth, I'm sure he would have been angry."

"So. I can see that you are genuinely worried about me, and since you apologized...hehe, on the contrary, it makes me a little happy."

"I see. You've made some good friends, haven't you? I'm happy too."

"Ehehe"

　By the way, I wanted to take a mixed bath in the hot spring, so it was attached to my room.

　If two young people - now a de facto husband and wife - were dating naked in such a place, there was no way anything would happen!

　We decided to have a meal together after the hot spring, but since everyone in the circle was female, they were keeping an eye on Shia to make sure she wasn't pushing herself too hard.

　I notice that normally. It's not just because of the hot springs, with her cheerful cheeks, moist eyes, and lustrous atmosphere.

　In the evening, you had a lot of fun in such a short time, didn't you? Yurufuwa, a fourth-year student, was smacked on the head by all of his classmates for making fun of him.

　Of course, Shia was able to see right through the meal, but she remained calm throughout the meal, like a rabbit holed up in a hole-in-the-wall storage room.

``Plus, touring is more fun when you're in a group. On the way home, it was great to ride along the coastline illuminated by the setting sun while chatting over the communicator.''

"I was cold-hearted when it was pointed out, but..."

　Actually, the Steiff that Hajime was riding in was the one he was riding. This is because the vehicle's on-board recognition inhibition function can be used to fool ordinary people with whom the vehicle has no connection. At least, if you only ride for half a day once in a while.

　However, it's a different story when it comes to a group of people who love motorcycles.

　Once attention is drawn to the bike, it is difficult to deceive it unless it is implied by another artifact. And there's no way they wouldn't pay attention to the bike.

　Even if they didn't know that it had the impossible structure of a magically driven car, it was obvious at a glance that it was an illegally modified car that was not available on the market, so naturally Hajime's gaze would be cold. There is no doubt that his doubts will return regarding his relationship with Shia.

　So I was desperately trying to make full use of non-vehicle artifacts to prevent people from paying attention to Steiff in the first place.

"Maybe I should seriously consider buying a commercially available bike for times like this?"

"Sounds good! What are you going to ride!?"

"It's amazing to eat."

　Shia's magnificent breasts were so close to each other that they looked like they were about to fall out, and she looked up at him with sparkling eyes. She looks extremely happy.

　Although Hajime looks troubled, Shia is so cute that he ends up patting her on the head.

　He asked with an extremely kind look in his eyes.

"In that case, how about we go on a tour of motorcycle shops on our next date? Together, let's choose a motorcycle that suits me."

"Is there such a wonderful invitation in this world? You can only choose one answer! I'll be happy!!"

　I really like bikes, or what can I say?

　Seeming to be so happy, Shia puffed up her cheeks and pressed her face against Hajime's chest.

　Just then, I kissed her lightly again. With a sloppy smile on her face, her rabbit ears were also pressed tightly against her.

　In the darkness, illuminated only by the ephemeral pale blue-white magic light, the two of them were happily snuggled close to each other and talked in whispers until the time came.

　Then.

　As the conversation I had been engrossed in came to a halt, I suddenly, or rather, finally noticed something. Before I knew it, there was a familiar presence outside the veil of darkness.

　It's strange when we look at each other and look at the clock. Twenty minutes had passed from the scheduled time.

　Shia hurriedly solves the darkness. Immediately after, a very disgruntled voice was heard.

"You had a lot of fun, didn't you? Or should I say that? At times like this."

　It was Tio. I was very nervous.

　She was wearing a blouse, tight skirt, and black stockings, making her look like a woman coming home from work, and she had her arms crossed.

　Hajime and Shia looked at each other again. Since when did he come here?

If there was someone entering the "Small Garden" from outside, Hajime, the creator, would notice it at that point, and Shia's sensing ability was the best among her friends.

　Even so, the reason we didn't realize it was because we were so enamored with each other.

``It's okay to make friends before a date with a concubine, but it's okay because the concubine was late, but what does it mean to leave it alone even when the concubine arrives? Ignore play? Is it called neglect play? Is that the case? Huh? Don't you have anything to say?"

　He is smiling and cheerful. Apparently this neglectful play didn't feel good.

　It would be a different story if it was intentional, but it seems that there are some things that would make me feel bad if it was simply forgotten.

　Still, Tio's good qualities as a person came out in the way she waited patiently without charging into the veil of darkness, which was not a physical barrier.

　So, Hajime and Shia nodded to each other and said.

``One more hour, extra time.''

"Hmph!!? In this situation, don't you dare leave me even longer!? Hahahah, what an advanced technique! That's fine! Let's wait quietly! Sit up straight! For hours!"

　Tio-san suddenly sits down. Where has all the grumpiness from earlier gone? He blushes and huffs. Apparently the current one was very good.

　It looks like this is the way to play if you ignore it.

　Seeing that, Hajime and Shia seemed to be in a better mood, and they nodded and high-fived each other. Tio's displeasure problem is resolved immediately! !

　Then,

"Then I'll help Enti-san and then go home!"

"Oh, see you then."

"What!? Isn't it twirling in the palm of your hand! The concubine's emotions are being messed up!!"

　Leaving Tio writhing in her seat, Shia left for Enti.

"Okay, Tio. Do you want to go on a date?"

"As if nothing happened!?"

"Well, investigating the miniature garden is more important."

"Isn't it okay for me to dare to say that!?"

　terrible! But it feels good! Tio stood up with a sloppy expression that clearly showed what she was thinking.

"Master, are you ready?"

"good"

"Did you have a whip?"

"I have it."

"What about sadism?"

"I keep it on hand."

"Extra panties for the mistress!"

"I forgot--"

"What?!"

"But, just before we entered the miniature garden, Yue gave it to me."

"Then no problem! Let's go!"

　After confirming that in the end, he hurriedly transformed into a dragon.
