A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

While Akita Shin and Yukinoshita Haruno were having fun, the girl walked over quickly with a bad look on her face.

Logically speaking, Hikigaya Hachiman, who has been a D-class mutant for some time, should be able to sense someone approaching.

But because it was his first time tasting the forbidden substance, his mind felt dizzy.

Before he could react, Hikigaya Hachiman felt a hand grabbing his ear and was subconsciously startled.

"Mika..."

“It’s me.

elder brother--"

The familiar voice made Hikigaya Hachiman startled.

Before he turned his head with gritted teeth, he wanted to destroy the evidence in his hand.

Hikigaya Komachi snorted, "I've seen it!"

It's going to happen! It's going to happen...

Hikigaya Hachiman groaned in his heart. He felt like an elementary school student who was caught by his teacher for doing something bad. He was filled with fear.

Fortunately, his mind worked quickly. When he saw Akita Shin standing not far away, he called out with a serious expression, "Akita-sama."

"Hikigaya, without me?"

"Or are you just trying to divert Komachi's attention?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked with a smile, but there was a hint of gloating in her eyes.

as predicted.

Hikigaya Komachi instantly threw away the idea of ​​"behaving more like a lady in front of Akita Makoto".

"Brother, you actually smoked secretly. I must tell Sister Meijia about this..."

Looking at his sister who had an angry face, Hikigaya Hachiman smiled bitterly and could only listen to the lecture obediently like a grandson.

In fact, similar scenes often occurred in the world before.

Hikigaya Hachiman sometimes thinks that this world is too absurd. As an older brother, why should he be taught a lesson by his younger sister?

But...

Every time this happens, he feels very relieved.

After all, apart from his sister, not to mention those idiots who sang the praises of youth, even his parents were too lazy to pay attention to this dead-eyed guy.

Akita Makoto just looked for a while and then called Yukinoshita Haruno into the police station.

He hasn't appeared for four or five days, so naturally he has to show up.

The B-level person who temporarily replaced the position of the director of the third out-of-city branch has not been seen yet, and it is obvious that he is not the workaholic type.

Akita Makoto didn't care and turned around to chat with his subordinates who were on the night shift.

It's not working hours now, so you can be more casual.

Due to the cancellation of her pregnancy plan and the recent frequent events, Natsuki Mika, like Hikigaya Hachiman, is on duty in the police station.

Seeing that no one noticed her, she quietly walked out of the police station.

"Well, Sister Xia Mu, you came at the right time."

"My brother has actually learned to smoke. He might even become an alcoholic in the future. Help me correct his thinking."

"..."

After understanding what happened, Xia Mu Meijia was a little amused and helpless.

She doesn't think smoking is a bad thing.

On the contrary, among the extraordinary people, a large number of people smoke.

After all, dealing with weird things all day long and facing the risk of death at any time is very stressful.

Glancing at Hikigaya Hachiman who bent his waist even lower, she thought for a moment and said seriously, "Hachiman, don't smoke in secret next time."

"Eh?"

"?"

Both the brother and sister were stunned.

Hikigaya Komachi was a little confused. Shouldn't her sister-in-law help her?

"Hachiman, go in and have a cup of hot water first. I'll just watch over here."

"Oh, good."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't think much about it, but instead breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After looking at his sister with a slightly smug look, he quickly fled the crime scene.

"Sister Mika, you spoil him too much." Hikigaya Komachi pouted.

Natsuki Mika smiled.

"Komachi, I wasn't going to tell you. After all, Hachiman didn't want you to worry."

"But sometimes, when I'm alone, I think a lot."

"Not long ago..."

Natsuki Mika's original intention was to hope that Hikigaya Komachi could understand Hikigaya Hachiman more.

She knew that the brother and sister had lived in a peaceful era before and did not need to worry about survival.

No matter how difficult life is, as long as you are not living in a country full of gunfire, it is only the emptiness of the spiritual world.

What does that count for compared to people who are just trying to survive?

…………

About half an hour later, Akita Makoto walked out of the police station alone.

Natsuki Mika said in a sincere tone: "Akita-sama, I'll leave Komachi in your care."

"Well, don't feel too stressed."

"If the sky falls, there are tall people watching. If you encounter a dangerous situation, it is most important to protect yourself first."

This was the most serious problem that Akita Shin discovered after a brief talk with his subordinates.

"Yes, my lord."

Watching Natsuki Mika leave, Akita Shin shook his head in his heart.

He could only express his attitude and could not do anything more. After all, it was just a personal idea.

Hikigaya Komachi saw him looking at her and smiled reluctantly, "Master Shin, let's go back too."

"Let's go."

Akita Makoto keenly noticed that something was wrong with her, but didn't say anything.

After walking a distance, Hikigaya Komachi asked quietly, "Sir, is the work of police officers dangerous?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Akita really understood what was going on, most likely because Xia Mu had just said something to her.

"It's just... I'm a little worried about my unreliable brother. What if he gets eaten by the weird soon? Komachi needs to understand it clearly before considering whether to work hard to become stronger."

Akita Shin smiled in silence.

He first placed his hands on her head and rubbed it repeatedly several times.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't want to fight them when you see something weird, the extraordinary people are more likely to be compared to ordinary people.

For people, it’s already very good.”

"And this is in a safe zone. If the extraordinary people were worried all day long whether they would die in the next second, wouldn't the citizens have died long ago?"

"Oh, oh... Then, Master Shin, if Komachi encounters a regular or catastrophic level of weirdness, how will we deal with it?"

"Well... if it's the former, don't act rashly. If you trigger its own laws that allow it to remove restrictions, just pretend that you are very powerful."

"Eh?"

Hikigaya Komachi blinked, feeling a little confused.

"Komachi, you are already a mentalist, just use your mental power to increase your momentum."

"Is that right?"

The girl wanted him to check it, so she took a deep breath and shuddered unexpectedly.

She looked so cute that Akita couldn't help but pinch her face.

"You are such an adult~"

"Hey, Komachi, continue."

"..."

The somewhat heavy atmosphere eased a lot.

The blizzard continued to fall, and the two soon returned home.

But as they passed through the courtyard, Hikigaya Komachi blushed and whispered, "Master, can I go to your bedroom to rest later..."

Akita was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Then Komachi, come over later."

His idea is simple.

It's not good to hang out with the maid and others every day. It's also nice to have a good night's rest once in a while.

"Hmm~"

Hikigaya Komachi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Master Shin didn't refuse, otherwise Komachi would have been very embarrassed.

After entering the house, she suppressed her shyness and behaved as usual, happily chatting with Kato Megumi and others who were in the hall.

…………

310. The black cat undergoes a transformation, Komachi's service~

Soon it was time for everyone to rest.

In the triple bedroom.

"Sister Mai, can you get me a hair dryer?"

Mai Sakurajima is currently reading "The Fundamentals of Psychic Masters", which allows her to study and help her sleep at the same time.

After hearing what Hikigaya Komachi said, she was slightly stunned.

"Komachi, what are you going to do..." Nakano Nino was also confused.

If she remembered correctly, Hikigaya Komachi had already taken a bath before her, Miku and Akita Makoto, so why did she look like she had just come out of the bath now?

"Give."

Mai Sakurajima sat up and handed over the new hair dryer on the bedside table.

"Thank you~"

The girl smiled playfully, but her face was red.

As the hair dryer was turned on, the only sound left in the bedroom was the "whooshing" sound.

Nakano Nino and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other and both guessed the answer.

Seeing that Nakano Nino seemed to be about to say something, Sakurajima Mai immediately shook her head at her.

Since she was sitting on the edge of her bed with her back to them and blowing her hair, Hikigaya Komachi did not see the two people's silent movements, but she did feel something.

Why do you all treat yourself like a child?

Although she was a little distressed, Hikigaya Komachi didn't care too much.

She believes that if one only lives in other people's world and frequently changes one's mind because of other people's opinions, one will fail.

A few minutes later.

"Mai-sister, Nino-sister, I'm going to Makoto's bedroom~"
