This is not the date I wanted.

"Hand that thing over, Liang Yi Meng Yue!"

"Do you want it? Hehe~"

As Shidao looked confused, Mengyue smiled smugly. With a single step, she threw the object out of the window like a baseball player.

"Go pick it up!"

Then, what shocked Shidou was that Origami jumped out of the window without hesitation, just like a dog trying to catch a frisbee.

Wait!? This is the third floor!

"Is Origami okay?!"

Shidou hurriedly stuck his head out and shouted, but what he saw was Origami, who had landed safely using the standard five-point landing posture, and was holding a... thing that looked like a photo and rubbing and licking it.

"Don't worry, that guy may be a pervert, but he's a standard soldier. This height won't be dangerous for her. This should be enough to drag her out for the time being."

Meng Yue patted Shidao's shoulder. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the photo she secretly took when hiding in the closet, when Shidao was changing into underwear and clothes, just showing half of his shoulders, was really worthy of being her masterpiece.

"Um...can I ask Mengyue what you just threw out?"

"……secret."

Meng Yue turned her head away and passed it over perfunctorily. Seeing the other party's attitude, Shidao felt even more concerned.

Suddenly, a wireless sound came to my ears. Kotori's voice came from the other end of the airship through the wireless headphones.

[Shidou! Mengyue! The camera just captured the Seven Sins. ]

"where is it?"

Shidou asked hurriedly.

[On the rooftop of the school, she has been staying there without moving.]

After hearing what Kotori said, Shidou and Mengyue looked at each other. If Nanashi wanted to escape, she could have already flown away. The reason why she was still standing there was probably because she had some tricks waiting for Shidou. In any case, this was an opportunity for Shidou and Nanashi to have a good talk.

"Let's go, Shidou."

"Ah."

————————————————————I am the dividing line to reach the rooftop————————————

"Is it finally here?"

After reaching the rooftop, Shidao and Mengyue saw a boy with the same face as Shidao, standing in front of Shidao and Mengyue like a demon king waiting for the hero to come to the hall.

Honestly, if you look closely, Shidou has to say that the transformed Shidou of Nanashi is just like himself coming out of the mirror world.

"As expected, you are the Seven Sins."

"Correct. You cross-dressing pervert."

Puff! Shidou felt as if his heart was pierced by an arrow. Today, Shidou finally understood that the saying that words can be turned into a sharp blade is not an exaggeration.

"Well, if not, we have no way of knowing where you are, Nanashi."

Meng Yue explained with a shrug on behalf of Shidou who had been shot in the knee.

Hearing this, Qi Zui looked at Meng Yue and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I see. I was saying that my transformation was perfect, but since I entered this school, I felt that something was subtly wrong. Did you guess from the beginning that I would do something like this?"

Meng Yue spread her hands helplessly.

Nanazai chuckled and asked Shidou.

"Hey, Gokawa Shido, what do you think is the purpose of me doing these things?"

"Are you going to destroy me completely on a social level?"

"Hmph~ I'll give you 60 points."

"Eh?"

"You're right. Now that you've seen my secret, I won't let you off so easily. Just as you thought, I'm going to make you infamous not only in this school, but in the entire society, and you'll have no place to stay!"

Nanashi pointed at Shidou and spoke in a vicious tone.

"Wait! Nanashi, listen to me, I didn't see you at all that day..."

After hearing what Nanazin said, Shidou became more certain of Mengyue's guess and walked forward to persuade her.

"Wait! Shidou, don't go over there."

Mengyue said anxiously when she saw Shidao suddenly step forward.

"late!"

Nanashi showed a triumphant smile and grabbed Shidao's arm with one hand. An angel in the shape of a broom, the Fake Witch, appeared out of thin air in the other hand, emitting a dazzling light, forcing Mengyue to close her eyes.

After the light faded, Meng Yue opened her eyes, looked at the scene in front of her, and sighed helplessly.

"That's why I called you..."

Standing in front of Mengyue were two identical girls - Gokawa Shiori.

"Meng Yue! Listen to me, this guy is——"

A Shiori shouted.

"This guy is a fake. I am the real Shidou. It was this guy who used my appearance to do bad things before!"

Another Shiori also shouted.

Whether it was voice, tone, or movement, there was no difference between the two. Although he had deliberately changed into women's clothing today just to prevent this kind of situation, Shidou did not expect that the other party could imitate his appearance so well.

"Meng Yue, I am Shidao."

"Meng Yue, that guy is Nanashi in disguise, the real Shidou is me."

"…Hmm? Is it necessary to tell whether it's true or not?"

Hearing what the two said, Meng Yue tilted her head in confusion and asked doubtfully.

"Can't I pack both of them up and go home together?"

Seven Sins & Shidao: "…………"

08 Distinguishing authenticity

==============================

"Well, let's not talk about who is Nanashi and who is Shidou, this is something I've been dreaming of~"

Meng Yue looked at the two Shizhi in front of her and said happily. The two Shizhi couldn't help but frown when they heard it.

"Meng Yue... stop joking around at this time."

Shidou said helplessly.

"Well, I personally think this is a good idea..."

Meng Yue scratched his cheek and said with a little regret. Looking at Meng Yue's regretful expression, it seems that she has really thought seriously about the feasibility of this idea... Shidao decided not to think about this issue.

"Yatogami Tohka, don't follow me here, go somewhere else! I'm here to find Shidou!"

"Who's following you? I came here because I smelled Shidou's scent. You are the one who shouldn't follow me, Tobiichi Origami!"

Suddenly, the door to the rooftop was slammed open, and Origami, who had just been pushed away by Mengyue, and Tohka, who was originally in the classroom, appeared.

The two people who were originally glaring at and pushing each other stopped arguing at the same time after seeing this wonderful scene.

"Shi, Shiori... there are two?"

Tohka yelled with eyes wide open in surprise.

"What's going on? Liang Yi Meng Yue."

Origami looked surprised and turned a questioning look to the other person who was present earlier.

Meng Yue shrugged helplessly and replied

"Well, to put it simply, this and that happened to Shidou. As a result, it became like this."

"You've omitted too much!"

The two Shiori complained in unison.

"Hmm! I see. Does that mean one of the mornings you said Seven Sins was pretending to be someone else?"

"I see. I felt something was wrong when I heard what Shidou did today. Now that explains it."

They actually understood!? Looking at Origami and Tohka who nodded in realization, surprise was written all over their faces.

"Well, let's not talk about appearance first. I didn't expect that she could imitate Shidou's complaints so accurately. She's really a professional in acting."

Meng Yue exclaimed with some admiration.

Was he just pretending to be stupid just to make me complain? Shidou thought with a look of confusion.

However, Shidou had to say that Nanashi was really good at imitating others. When the two of them stood together, it was like a mirror image.

"Meng Yue, Origami, Tohka. Believe me, I am the real Gokawa Shido!"

"Don't be fooled by them! Please - just trust me!"

There was no difference in the tone of voice. Even Shidou himself felt that the other person was his true self.

"Ugh...if someone is a fake. In that case-"

"It's indeed a nearly perfect casual outfit. But——"

"Eh——Is it really not possible to take both of them home together? Then——"

After carefully comparing Shidou and Nanashi, Tohka, Origami and Mengyue all raised their fingers.

"You're a fake."

"You're fake."

"Miss Nanashi, please step out of the line."

"Varied……?!"

Shiori, or rather Nanashi, who was pointed at by all three of them, was shocked that his disguise was seen through so easily.

"What are you talking about? I'm Gokawa Shido!"

Nanashi seemed unwilling to give up and continued to speak. However, the three of them shook their heads and walked to Shidou's side.

Seeing this, Nanashi had no choice but to give up. She looked at Shidou, Mengyue, Origami, and Tohka with eyes full of doubt and hatred.

"How did you know that? My transformation should be perfect. Even a blind guess would only give a 50% success rate. How can you be so sure that I'm a fake?"

"Well... even if you ask me why, I don't know how to answer. It's probably my intuition. Although they all look like Shiori, when standing next to the real thing, you can find that the smell on them is a little different."

Tohka said in a somewhat confused manner.

"If it was you alone, I might have been fooled by you. In fact, until just now, I always thought you were Shidou. But there are two identical people, and then ask me which one is the real one, that's another matter. You were 0.5 seconds faster than Shidou. And your center of gravity was 0.2 degrees off than Shidou's. There's no way I could have been wrong."

Origami said firmly.

"Well, unlike the two strange beasts next to them, if there were two Shidou standing here, I wouldn't be able to recognize either of them."

Meng Yue sighed silently, then pushed up her non-existent air glasses and spoke in a tone as if she were a judge in a beauty pageant.

"However, if it was Shiori, it would be another story. In my opinion, Nanashi, your performance is still a little off! First of all, the pigeon-toed standing style is 0.6 degrees smaller. The hand that wanted to cover the skirt is also 1.5 centimeters higher. When you are worried about exposing yourself because of the cool breeze under the skirt when you are wearing women's clothes, the subtle shyness that unconsciously emerges is 99% restored... Overall, if you insist, I can give you 1 points for this imitation. The remaining point is my special intuition about my love for Shiori. So you can be proud."

"You're no different! And don't make such specific comments about my women's clothing!"

Shidou shouted with a blushing face.

After hearing the answers from the three people, Nanashi, who was dressed as Shiori, showed an expression as if he had seen some rare and exotic beast.

"What's wrong with these people! There's definitely something wrong with them...!"

“Ah… er, hahaha…”

Shidou could only respond with an ambiguous wry smile. Although he was very grateful that Mengyue and the others recognized him, he could also understand Nanashi's surprise.

However, the most urgent task now is to clarify the misunderstanding of Seven Sins.

"Anyway, Seven Sins! Calm down and listen to me. I didn't see anything at the time."

"You didn't see anything?"
