After that, we were preparing for the start of the operation a week later. To some extent, I know who to team up with, so I'll take another look at the profiles of all the Premium vs. Mages. It was written about each person's abilities and combat style. I stared at it and thought about my standing behavior.

(I'm a melee type... I think I'll be made up of proximity and ranged types...)

With that in mind, I pay attention to one ability. [M] It was Eve. She has an overwhelming talent for saying that she is close to us in age. Me, Senpai, Shelley is exceptional because of the mix of demonic blood, but Eve has become a superior versus magician at such a young age when she says she is purely human... and has more magical talent than Senpai.

Of course, you can use the magic of Wide Area Interference Sphere, but as far as the profile is concerned, it covers all existing Wide Area Interference Sphere, and there are various original magic that can only be used by her.

(Wow... this is...)

And when I got all the other people's profiles in my head, I got a little tired, so I thought I'd go for a walk outside. Now it's called the preparation period, but it also has a holiday connotation. Perhaps if the operation starts, we won't be able to return much to the border city... and possibly die. The world of dusk is so dangerous. Even if you were a superior vs. magician, you wouldn't know what would happen.

"... okay"

And when I only took out my wallet, I left the dormitory.

(Now, what do we do...)

Walk the city. Recovery is quite progressive and not much different from before. I was honestly impressed, perhaps thanks to magic. Because all my magic is dedicated to fighting. [M] My magic can only be used to improve my combat skills or to kill. [M] But that's not the magic that restored this city. Magic used to enhance people's lives. Perhaps that's what magic really looks like. In the world before dusk, magic seemed to have been used primarily for that purpose. But now, it has a strong side as a technique for killing to fight the demons.

Even so, people are trying to use magic to make their lives better. Minimum not only for all kinds of infrastructure, but also for a cultural life… mainly food, clothing, shelter, etc., all covered by a large factory called a plant in the southern district of the city. It is also the story of the last few decades that humanity has been able to maintain such a stable life. Once again, you should be thankful to the people who have worked so hard. And I will fight for everyone who still runs the city.

And while I was thinking like that, I saw the face I saw.

"... Mr. Eve?

I guess that's... Eve. The long, light, green hair is packed in ponytail and the outfit looks pretty stylish. It's just a simple style of hot pants and just a t-shirt, but it still looks pretty good. Her hands and feet were long and her face was beautiful, so she felt that everything was perfect for her. Besides, wearing sunglasses and a hat for some reason... I think it suits you well.

But what are you doing in that store...? If you look closely, there are children's shops selling stuffed toys and toys. This shop seems to have just been built recently, but I wonder if Eve will give someone a present.

I don't think it's good to see too much, so I go and speak up. [M] It's rude to pretend to be strangers when you meet outside, and you should at least say hello.

Hello, Eve.

……

When I spoke from behind, Mr. Eve was thrilled.

Eh... maybe it was a mistake?

"... hi, it's a mistake..."

No, there's no doubt about this voice. It's Eve. I'm not proud, but I'm good at understanding people's faces and voices. Also, the eyes that looked over the sunglasses definitely belonged to her.

"Um... well, maybe it wasn't good to talk to you?

"... no, it's fine... but it's just..."

"? Did you interrupt the purchase of a present?"

"A present?"

"It's a stuffed toy that I have."

"... this is not a present..."

"Maybe it's yours?

"Eh... no... well... yes, but are you complaining?!

"No, no... there's no disillusionment..."

"I know... it's weird that a woman like me likes such a cute thing... but I do!

"... um... I wonder if it has anything to do with that person's appearance or personality, even though I like something. And it suits Eve very well."

Suddenly I lose my voice, so I try to calm down. [M] I'm sure they told me a lot about it in the past. But I don't think so. People like stuffed animals. Because it's a strange thing to do with your appearance and personality.

"Do you really think so...?

"Yes, it suits me very well."

"... even if there's actually... a lot of stuffed animals hidden in my room?

"There will be no problem. It seems a little rough."

"... even if I bring my favorite stuffed animal to this operation?

"You were free to carry things, right? I was wondering if there was a problem."

"... Julia. I knew you'd be able to do it... fufufu..."

"Really?

"... yeah. I'm in a very, very good mood... so I'll treat you to tea."

"Are you sure?

"... leave it to me. I'm in a very, very good mood... fufu"

That's what Eve says, laughing invincibly. As far as I'm concerned, I would have liked to have been in a better mood. [M] And I went into the nearby coffee shop alongside Eve.

"... the cake set is delicious in this shop"

Well, so am I.

"... okay."

Place your order and you will receive your cake and tea immediately. It's a simple shortcake, but it looks delicious. I wonder when it has been sweet since then. Basically, I only eat curry. [M] Curry in the army cafeteria. Curry even if you eat out occasionally. There is no dessert. It was just curry. Even if it had an impact on my life at dusk, I wish everything was now mixed and delicious... because I thought so, but the cake that I saw for a long time seemed very attractive.

"Nh, it's delicious!

"... right? My Favorites"

"Does Eve like cute and sweet things?

"... yes, but I also know you're being stupid..."

"I don't think there's anything really weird about me."

"... once upon a time, a woman like you said ~"

"I don't think there's anything uncomfortable about it, but I..."

"Really?"

"Yes"

"I wonder if such a dark woman is okay..."

"It has nothing to do with the darkness of the roots."

"Really... yeah, that's right..."

Eve eats more nicotine. Yeah, I guess I'll have to eat a good meal. Does anyone say such a thing anyway? But I know people's malice. Probably a word of jealousy to Eve. She's talented enough to be a Premium vs. Mage, and she looks beautiful.

"Speaking of which, you cut your hair..."

"Ah, yes. I want to refresh myself a little."

"... it looks good on you. And everybody was cool and saying,"

"Thank you so much... who are they?

"That's a secret... fufu..."

Eve has an index finger on her mouth and spreads a soft smile. Normally I thought I didn't know what I was thinking in silence, but if I talked to you like this, you'd be a very attractive and bright woman.

I thought so purely.

And we could bloom in laughter for a while.
