"Ichi Nijika smiled."

"...Ah...but I want to sleep, and I also have to spend money...it's definitely better to sleep at home..."

"Will you sleep in the car later...? Stop being so pessimistic, cheer up."

"Hawoo~"

Ijichi Hoshika yawned again, then closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep.

"This seems to be the first time I've gone on a trip to a relatively far place with other people. I'm actually quite looking forward to it!"

The woman, who was wrapped up in thick black clothing, covered her mouth and laughed.

"...By the way, do your families allow you to go out and have fun?"

Ijichi Hoshika opened her eyes and looked at the group.

"I'm fine."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"what…"

Goto Ichiri was taken aback for a moment.

"...My family...are quite happy...and Qing even spoke up for me..."

"Because Pochi rarely goes out..."

"Ichi Nijika sighed."

"I didn't tell my family what I said..."

After a moment of silence, Hiroi Kikuri spoke.

"?"×7

"...I didn't ask you..."

Ijichi Seika sighed, then looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"What about you?"

"Eh? I'm fine."

Kita Yukiyo shook her head.

"All you need to do is make a video call and send a text message every day."

"Yeah."

"Anyway, my family can see my location, so I'm not that worried."

Kita Ikuyo shook her head and said.

"…position?"

Ijichi Hoshika was taken aback.

"What...positioning?"

"It's my phone's location tracking, so my family knows where I am."

"...Is your family quite strict?"

"I'm dragging my suitcase and carrying several bento boxes," Nekoya Shiki asked.

"No... okay, maybe a little."

Kita Ikuyo shook her head... then nodded helplessly.

"The high-speed train has arrived."

Ryo Yamada offered a reminder.

Hiss...

Waiting for the train to come to a complete stop

Everyone started getting on the bus.

Meanwhile, Yuyuko Otsuki, who was hiding behind the stroller, opened her eyes wide.

"that…"

A woman's voice suddenly came from beside her. Otsuki Yuuko was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman next to her.

"what happened?"

"...The car has arrived. Could you please get out from behind my child's stroller?"

"Oh! I'm so sorry!"

Yuyuko Otsuki quickly apologized and then hurriedly ran into the car.

...

"We were very lucky; everyone's seats were all close together."

Nijika Ichi, leading her cat Yashiki Haru, took their seats first.

"Because the kitten is blind, it only needs to pay half the fare, and the older sister, as the [accompanying person], can also enjoy a 50% discount on the fare."

"Ichi Nijika sighed."

"So why did you give me the qualification to be an accompanying person?"

Ijichi Hoshika sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Well... I see you've been working so hard lately, big sister~"

"Ichi Nijika smiled."

Actually, it's because you were the only one who paid for everything yourself...

Squeak…

Ichi Seika leaned back in her chair.

"Are you going to sleep now? You haven't eaten your bento yet."

Nekoyashiki Haru picked up the bag.

"I'm not eating... I'm going to sleep now... No, wait."

Ijichi Seika opened her eyes.

"How about I feed you?"

"...I can eat by myself."

"Oh, then I'm going to sleep."

Completely at ease, Ichi Seika leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Yamada Ryo stood up and reached out to Nekoyashiki Haru behind him.

"convenient."

"You want to eat it now? It hasn't even started yet."

"I want to eat now."

Yamada Ryo patted Nekoyashiki Haru on the head.

Nekoyashiki Haru handed over the bento box.

"I've shared it with everyone."

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then dragged the bento away.

Nekoyashiki Haru closed her eyes, put on the headphones around her neck, and a moment later, the bullet train started moving.

The sunlight outside the window made the necklace around Nekoyashiki's neck and the ring on her hand reflect light. Feeling the touch of the wristband inside her sleeve, her heartbeat slowly slowed down.

The soft music in his headphones pulled his consciousness into nothingness.

Meanwhile, Yamada Ryo behind him had already finished his bento box and then looked at Goto Ichiri next to him.

"...Eh? Ah...please."

Goto Ichiri serves the bento.

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked.

"You can eat it yourself, I won't take it from you."

"?!"

Goto Ichiri's blue pupils trembled violently, and then he reached out to stroke Yamada Ryo's forehead.

"...I didn't have a fever, nor was I replaced by anything strange, nor was I possessed by a monster."

"call…"

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief.
