"I actually have an older sister! Tianxiang looks just like me! But she seems a bit more mature... Why can I enter your body, Chen? Why is Tianxiang always inside you? Why are there other beings inside you, Chen? What's that rainbow-like bird? And that white bird-like thing, and that giant whale...?"

"Tohka..." Shichen finished brushing his teeth and looked at her helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Tohka Yatogami blinked, her mouth full of toothbrush.

"...Want to go buy some soybean flour bread together later?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, you can buy as much as you want."

"So good? Why?" Yatogami Tohka couldn't believe it.

"Haven't I always been fine?"

"But Chen, don't you restrict me from eating soybean flour bread?"

"After all, we're leaving soon, so you won't be able to eat it for a while."

"What? We can't eat it? How long will it take?" Yatogami Tohka was dumbfounded.

"It might take several months."

"For several months... I'll die..."

"It's not that exaggerated..."

"Wait! Chen, don't you know how to make it? You can just make it for me later, right?"

"...Why are you so smart now?" Shi Chen shook his head.

"Hehe~"

"What are you grinning about? Feel like you're brushing your teeth."

"Oh!"

Today is Saturday. Shichen bought bread with Yatogami Tohka early in the morning and returned home. He watched as she easily finished a large bag of soybean flour bread. Then, he went out for a stroll again with Itsuka Kotori and the others, who had just gotten up.

This time the number of people was a little different; he also invited Kurumi Tokisaki, Sawa Yamada, and Origami Tobiichi.

He planned to say goodbye to everyone.

Kurumi Tokisaki and Sawa Yamada have no problems. Although they have just reunited, they are no longer children and know some of his situation.

It's hard to say about Origami Tobiichi, but it's definitely hard to say about Kotori Itsuka.

To Tokimura's surprise, Origami Tobiichi welcomed his departure.

"Origami, you seem quite happy that I'm leaving?" Tokimitsu couldn't help but ask when he was alone with Origami.

"Yes!" Origami Tobiichi nodded seriously.

"why?"

"I don't want you, Mr. Chen, to have too much contact with Tokisaki."

"I see... Is it because she's an elf?"

"Ah."

"But didn't she do nothing?"

"Mr. Chen, you don't know, Tokisaki-san killed many people..."

"this......"

Not only did he know, but he was also the one who caused Kurumi Tokisaki to become the person she was.

"Teacher Chen, don't you believe me?"

"I believe you..."

"Yes, so it's good that Teacher Chen is away for a while."

"They won't be gone for long."

Shichen gave Origami Tobiichi the reason that he was going abroad for further studies, which was also the reason he left the school, since he was a teacher.

"That's enough," Origami Tobiichi replied softly, glancing at Kurumi Tokisaki's retreating figure.

"...You guys from AST, you're not planning to do anything to her, are you?"

"I don't know, but I probably won't just leave it unattended." Origami Tobiichi shook her head frankly.

"Origami, can I ask you for a favor?" Shi Chen stopped, turned to her, and grabbed her shoulder.

"Eh? Chen...Teacher Chen, what are you saying?" Origami Tobiichi panicked for a moment.

"If the AST members try to do something to Kurumi, could you help her?"

"...Why? Tokisaki-san has killed a lot of people," Origami Tobiichi asked, puzzled.

"But aren't they all people who deserve to die?"

"But we can't just do it casually..."

"Origami," Shi Chen interrupted her, "Do you know who Kurumi killed?"

"What?" Origami Tobiichi was stunned.

"Murderers, rapists... they've killed so many innocent people, ruined their families, don't they deserve to die?"

"But this should be punished by law..."

"What do you think the law will do to them? Will it sentence them to death?"

"..." Origami Tobiichi fell silent. How could she not know what the laws of Japan were like?

"Origami, I'm not asking you to agree with Kurumi's actions. I just want you to know that she's not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. She has the ability and the power, so she just wants to do something."

"But it will disrupt order..."

"Order is determined by people. Do you think Kurumi did anything wrong?"

"..."

"Origami, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Kurumi. She won't use her power to do anything immoral."

"Why does Kurumi listen to you, Teacher Chen?" Origami Tobiichi looked into Toki's eyes and couldn't help but ask.

"Well..."

"Because you like Teacher Chen? Does Teacher Chen like her too?"

“…Yes.” Shi Chen nodded in agreement.

"I see... I understand. I'll help her then."

"Really? Thank you, Origami!"

"This is what I should do."

"I hope this won't bother you with origami?"

"It is a bit of a problem, but it's okay for Teacher Chen's sake."

"Origami... I have something to tell you," Shichen suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"I like you so much too~" Shi Chen said with a smile.

"Huh?" Origami Tobiichi stared at the time, stunned.

"Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up and keep up!" Just then, Tohka Yatogami suddenly shouted from ahead.

"Okay, coming right now, Origami, let's go." Toki took Origami's hand and chased after Yatogami Tohka and the others.

Origami Tobiichi seemed to be completely led by Shichen, and could only passively follow him. She felt Shichen's large hand, stared at his back, and was lost in thought.

The figure in front of me overlapped with the figure from five years ago.

......

After a two-day, one-night camping trip, Shichen had just returned home on Sunday night and immediately lay down on the sofa.

"Phew—I'm so tired."

"Brother Chen, let me give you a massage." Yoshino came to his side and massaged his thighs with her small hands.

"Yoshino still loves me the most." Tokishi couldn't help but rub her head.

"Hehe~"

"Hmph~ Now that you know Yoshino loves you, you should treat her better, understand?" Yoshino reminded her.

"Do I need you to remind me?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"Hmph~ That's good."

"Chen, let me massage you too!" Yatogami Tohka came up behind him and massaged his shoulders.

"Okay... use a little more force."

Is this enough?

"Mmm..." Shi Chen closed his eyes comfortably.

"Brother Chen, are you that tired?" Kotori Itsuka asked curiously, a lollipop in her mouth.

"I've been the one doing all the work these past two days, while you guys just enjoyed yourselves and ate! How could you not be tired?" Shi Chen complained.

"Is it......"

"Aren't you going to serve me?"

"Never!"

"Are you still my sister?"

"Aren't Tohka-neechan and Yoshino already here?"

"not enough."

"do not want!"
