Dinner was lively that day for the first time in a long time.

Me, Len, Misaki, Dorothy, Bell.

It's been a long time since dinner for the five of us, and even the bean soup I always eat is delicious.

I should have gotten used to being alone, but on the contrary, I've found a little fun in group life in this school. I didn't get this feeling at dinner with Kuro.

In the meantime, the topic will be the journey to Celeste.

"How was Celeste?

"That was good! The shining sun, the beautiful sandy beach, the waves that push back...."

Dorothy gripped her hands with a dreamy expression and meditated while looking in the direction of the day after tomorrow, recalling the scene.

"---and the smile of the bell and the misaki that can play.... They both look good in swimsuits...."

"Hey, Dorothy!!

Belle screams to dispel Dorothy's fantasy.

Bell's swimsuit... this is... I want to see it, I've seen it too much.

It seems like other scenery will disappear from sight.

Ren and I looked at each other and nodded strongly.

As she watched, Belle became even more embarrassed and her face turned red.

"What, it's not true. You have such a beautiful, wonderful body. You'd better be humble."

"That's not the problem...."

Bell's gaze is on us.

I - I managed to distract myself, but when I saw Len's face listening to the story with a delicate face next door, Bell covered his face.

Dorothy shouted at him.

"Hey, man! What a freak delusion! That's not what this is about! Because Belle's body is beautiful!! It means it's just a fight, it's tight, it's beautiful..."

"But that's enough...!

Unusual, Belle speaks a little louder than usual and desperately pulls Dorothy's sleeve.

That's Dorothy. She turned her eyebrows into an eight-shaped shape and said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Yeah, well, it looks fun, and above all, hahaha...."

If I hear any more, it's going to be an extra development, and I'm in a hurry to change the subject.

"So, where's Len?

"Oh, me?

As always, Ren looks at me with his cheeks stretched with force.

Just give me a signal with your hand, eat all the meat, pour the water in vigorously, and you'll hear a gorgeous good sound.

Eat as good as ever.

"--like me, go home for a while."

Parents?

"Ren, where's your parents' house?

Misaki casually throws words.

"I'm Ishlis, by the way. You told Gil before, didn't you? I wonder if it's time for the exam."

"Yes, yes, I remember."

"That's right. Well, there's nothing interesting about it. It was home. I've never been out of that house before, so I've been excited to go to this school where I can live alone, but I kind of miss that natural home."

"I know, I might miss my parents a little bit."

At last, Belle is in a better mood.

"Isn't that right!? Well, the equipment and magic I've seen for the first time in this school have been overeating in the past few months, and I came home with a candle...."

Len sighed and shook her shoulders and neck to the left and right.

"Well, that was a mistake. When I get home, I wonder how my mother was doing at school. Dad was always silent, and I was going to go to school in London, so I was wondering what happened to London, what happened to my friends, and so on."

"What? You're not a good parent. Evidence that you care."

Dorothy's right.

I have nothing to call my parents anymore.

That hasn't changed since a thousand years ago...

Is that where Kuro stands? It's kind of complicated...

"I know, but after all, I enjoyed the first two days, but it's already hell, repeating the same question every day. I couldn't help but want to get back to London."

That said, Len puts his shoulders on me.

"I wanted to see my partner."

"Hmm!... didn't you imagine I was out?"

"Gil was rattling in the dorm when I left, and I thought he was going anyway?

No, that's right...

"Oh, but Gil was in Calisto. We met at a grocery store in the harbor. Hey?"

Yes, Dorothy's been looking all over town for the real thing...

and the bell rushed to block Masaki's mouth as Masaki nearly said.

"Misaki, more than that...."

It doesn't change what you were going out for.

"Huh? Really? I was already there when I came back, and I thought I was hanging out in the dorm without doing anything. What were you doing?

Len stares at me with pure eyes.

Hmm, what should I say...

Were you fighting vampires in Calisto?

Or did you have a fight with Abyss? I've met the Knight Commander before...

I can't say anything...

"Hey, Chloe - my temporary guardian works in Calisto. He asked me to help him."

"Oh, Claudia lives in Calisto."

Dorothy reacts to Crowe.

Oh, no. I thought you were seeing him at the rookie fight.

"Oh, you missed me and the treehouse, maybe."

Then Misaki looks at me with a slightly mysterious face.

"After that, I heard there was a monster noise in Calisto, but were you okay?

"Ah..."

"Yes, that's it! I was distracted earlier... were you okay after all?

Did you say "Abyss"? There were rumors in my city, too, huh? What about the demons..... "

Seriously... I didn't know that information was fast...

The rumors are real fast. As they were aiming for, the existence of the "Abyss" and the belief of the devil are spreading...

As the Knights feared, it must have been quite a turning point.

"I heard that, too. The mysterious criminal group" Abis "leaping in the shadow of the beast's noise.... It was also featured in the Magic Journal."

"What's the big deal...? Like I said, I'm fine, right? Don't worry about it."

"Well, I can tell by looking at that...."

"Ahhhh, I have the impression that Gil is going to stick it in my neck..."

Everyone's worried gaze is on me.

Damn, the air is getting worse...

We need to change the subject.

"So, Dorothy, Bell and Masaki went home?

"Us? Um, Misaki and I left....."

That's how I looked at Bell.

"I don't think so. They told me to come home...."

"Don't you want to go home?

"Uhmm, what do you mean... ahaha..."

There seems to be a reason why you can't say something subtly.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Belle doesn't seem to get along very well with her sister, or if she feels uncomfortable at home.

Oh, so you didn't go home?

"What do you care?

"No, I just wanted to go to Elena's grave..."

What a strange feeling to wear...

But I'm going to be told a lot if I don't put it on, so I'll be patient here.

"Hah!? What, you're mad at me for taking you with you!? You're too familiar! I mean, how much I like Elena... even when I first met her."

"Really?

Len stares at me with innocent eyes.

No, don't look at me like that!

No, I don't know what to do...

and Bell opens his mouth unexpectedly.

"So, you want to come home with me?

"Oops, I'm going--eh, okay!?
