This is not the date I wanted.

"It looks like we don't have to worry about the Seven Sins for now."

"Yes."

Seeing that Nanashi had reached an agreement with everyone, Shidou and Mengyue couldn't help but smile at each other.

[Beep! Beep!]

Before Mengyue could enjoy this relaxing atmosphere, suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded from the other end of the headphones.

"What happened Kotori?"

[Sister Mengyue, I have some bad news. The airship that just engaged us retreated without hesitation after the second artificial satellite was shot down. And before leaving, it dropped a satellite.]

"Fuck! Is this the end?"

Meng Yue felt like cursing.

"Mengyue, this is..."

Shidou obviously also received the message from Kotori, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Hmm? Mengyue, Shidao, what's wrong? You suddenly look so serious."

Everyone asked in confusion.

"Hey..." Meng Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled bitterly, "According to Kotori-chan, there seems to be another artificial satellite that is about to fall."

Hearing what Kotori said, everyone gasped in unison.

It must be said that the opponent's plan was crazy and impractical, but it was indeed well thought out. The opponent's airship was obviously aiming at her slack time. Since the opponent's drop position was in the blind spot of Kotori's airship, Kotori could not shoot down the satellite immediately.

"It's no problem. As for me, one more Broken Phantasm should be no problem."

Shidou proposed. Although everyone was somewhat exhausted in the previous battle, it was still within an acceptable range. Although Broken Phantasm consumes a lot of spiritual energy, it is not a big problem for Shidou who has sealed the spiritual energy of many spirits.

"Well...don't be impatient, wait a moment."

Meng Yue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she took out her tablet.

"Ju Nai, can you help me calculate the size of the third satellite, the explosion range, and the exact location where it crashed?"

【no problem. 】

Soon, a string of complex data appeared on Mengyue's screen.

"Knew it……"

Looking at the data in her hand, Meng Yue's face showed realization.

At the beginning, Meng Yue felt something was wrong. After all, if the satellite actually fell, it would have no meaning other than destroying Tiangong City and the citizens in the air-raid shelter. If he really wanted to reverse the elves, it would be a plan without any effect, which obviously did not meet Westcott's purpose.

Having said that, it is possible that Westcott used the falling satellite to consume Shidao and others and then take the opportunity to attack. Although if Shidao did not shoot down the satellite or chose to leave Tiangong City, Westcott would be dead.

But he was Westcott after all. It was crazy enough to make a satellite fall, so it was not surprising that he was even more crazy. So when he shot down the satellite just now, Meng Yue was also on guard against a sudden attack from Allen and Origami.

Now it seems that I am worrying too much.

Alan and Origami didn't show up, which proves that the satellite crash was not planned by Westcott, but was the work of other people from DEM.

And now, combined with the meeting materials obtained from DEM before, Mengyue can be sure that the target that the satellite locked onto at the beginning was not the elf at all.

After figuring out the whole story, Meng Yue felt as if she had helped the enemy clean up his mess, and an unhappy expression appeared on her face.

"No need, Shidou. That satellite is much smaller than the previous two in both size and weight. The only problem is the blasting technique on it. Nanashi, do you have enough spiritual power? Can you use the Fake Witch to turn it into something else?"

"Well, I think there should be no problem." After confirming his physical condition, Qi Sin nodded.

"Then, turn that satellite into a lump of iron. Leave the rest alone."

Hearing Mengyue's instructions which were different from the casual ones just now, Shidou asked with some uneasiness.

"Mengyue, are you okay? Although there is no danger of explosion, falling to the ground is not good. What if there are other people on the ground?"

Hearing Shidou's question, Mengyue sighed with a wry smile.

"If we can really kill someone with this, we can live a peaceful life. Shidao."

"?"

Then, according to Meng Yue's request, Qi Sin turned the artificial satellite that fell from the sky into an ordinary piece of iron. Unlike the two satellites just now, the third satellite, pushed by Bandersnatch, drew an arc in the air and fell towards a hotel in Tiangong City.

Then, following the trajectory of the satellite, everyone clearly saw that Origami Tobiichi, wearing a manifestation device called Mordred, flew out of the hotel, holding a huge magic cannon and destroyed the satellite with one shot.

(Really, when will the truly peaceful days come?)

Looking at the expressionless white-haired girl in the air, Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart.

28 Halloween at the end of October

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

October 10st, Tuesday, Halloween.

At night, there was a knock on the door of the Gokawa family.

"I'm coming."

Wiping the water stains on his hands with his apron, Shidou trotted from the kitchen to the entrance and opened the door.

Tohka, the werewolf with animal ears and furry gloves;

The vampire Yakushi, wearing a large black cape and with fangs sticking out from the corners of his mouth;

Xixian, a mummy with bandages tied around her limbs and head;

Zombie Jeannie, whose pale skin is painted on her face with fake plasma;

The succubus Miku, who has demonic wings, a tail, and horns, wears a slightly revealing bodysuit, and a masquerade mask on her face;

Yoshino and Nanashi are wearing witch costumes, wearing exaggerated large hats, and holding brooms in their hands;

And of course there’s the Halloween Franken version of Yoshiina.

"""""""Trick or Treat!"""""

As if aiming at the moment when Shidao opened the door, the seven people took a fierce posture and shouted in unison.

"Welcome, please come in, little devils."

Shidou chuckled, stepped aside, and led everyone into the living room.

Some of the furniture that took up more space had been moved to other rooms in advance to free up more spacious space. The fluorescent lights were replaced with pumpkin lanterns carved from pumpkins, and the room was hung with holiday decorations such as bat puppets. The TV was playing a slightly evil BGM, and the dining table was filled with a variety of sumptuous dishes. Although it was the most familiar living room in the house, it gave people a fresh and magical atmosphere.

Shidou could see that the eyes of Tohka and the others were sparkling.

"Hehe~ I've been waiting for a long time - gentlemen!"

Then, waiting in the living room early was the devil chef Meng Yue, wearing a chef uniform stained with blood.

By the way, Shidou was dressed the same as Mengyue at this time.

"The end of October is the time when witches and demons descend. The gate of the demon world is wide open, and madness fills the world. This night soaked in blood is destined to be a sleepless night."

Perhaps influenced by the festive atmosphere, Mengyue said a few lines full of middle school flavor like Yakuya, and then seemed to realize that she was a little too excited and coughed twice shyly.

"Well, let's begin the Halloween party! Have fun, everyone!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Yay yay——Seeing everyone cheering together, Shidou chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

Although the fall of the artificial satellite did not cause any actual damage to Tiangong City due to the efforts of Meng Yue and her friends, the citizens still felt that a space quake had just occurred yesterday, and they were still somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, Tiangong City, which should have been immersed in the festive atmosphere at this time, seemed to have been poured with cold water and looked very dull.

However, this does not affect the Gokawa family's desire to celebrate Halloween.

Purchasing decorations, preparing and cooking ingredients, and decorating the room.

Influenced by the energetic actions of a certain girl, everyone's emotions were unconsciously aroused and they were full of expectations for this banquet.

Moreover, these are not entirely bad things. Because of the spacequake, Shidao's school had a small holiday today. Thanks to this, Meng Yue had time to prepare everything needed for the banquet with everyone.

"Oh, this pumpkin pie actually tastes like beef, it's incredible."

“Wuwu~——Damn it, the smell hurts my vision like the scorching sun. Is this a trap set by humans in secret?”

"I'm speechless. I just tasted the mustard-flavored pumpkin pie. You were too absorbed in the role, Yakushi."

"Yoshino, Yoshino, there are apple candies here! Come and try them."

“…Mm…it’s delicious…”

"Darling, let me sing a song today. Please enjoy it!"

"Onii-chan, don't you have a good meal? That's essential for the banquet."

(That’s great. Everyone seems very happy.)

Seeing everyone enjoying the party, Shidou couldn't help but smile with relief.

Sure enough, such peaceful and happy days are the best.

(By the way, what about Meng Yue and Nanashi?)

They disappeared from the living room at some point, and Shidou couldn't help but look for them around the house with some concern.

"Yoshi - I got some rare materials."

"Huh——this boss is really too difficult to defeat."

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Shidou heard the voices of Mengyue and Nanashi. Curious about what they were doing, Shidou took a peek.

At this time, Mengyue and Qizui each found a chair and sat on the corridor on the second floor, swinging their PSVs in their hands, apparently playing online games.

(Playing games.)

Shidou was confused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I didn't expect that I would forget the time of the official limited-time event. You are too careless, Mengyue."

Qizui looked at Mengyue speechlessly.

"Ah - I'm so sorry, Seven Sins."

Meng Yue scratched her hair awkwardly, coughed dryly, and asked as if to change the subject.

"How is it? How is life here?"

"Well, not bad."

Nanashi nodded gently. Although there were some troubles, such as Yui Miku's crazy rubbing of her face, Yui Miku's chest suffocation, and Yui Miku's rubbing of her hands, etc. But putting these aside, there is no doubt that the people here sincerely hope to get along well with her.

"But I actually took everyone's kindness as malice... I am such a terrible person..."

Thinking of this, Nanashi lowered his head in disappointment. Seeing Nanashi falling into inferiority mode again, Mengyue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Although she has accepted Shidou and others, Nana Sin still easily feels inferior after losing the sexy big sister appearance that she has used to package herself for a long time.

"That's not the case. Nanashi, you just didn't realize that you were cute before."

"Cute...um...am I really cute?"

Nanashi's face turned slightly red and she asked shyly.

"Yeah, it's very cute - very cute! Even if I shout it in the street, it's no problem. I can assure you confidently. So just rest assured."

Looking at Mengyue patting his chest and making a promise, Qizui couldn't help but chuckle and showed a relieved smile.

Incredibly, Qi Zui did not have the slightest doubt about what Meng Yue said.

Because she knew that Liangyi Mengyue would never lie to her family.

"Hey, Mengyue...from now on, can you and Shidou still teach me how to put on makeup and play games with me?"

"Sigh, if you want to do makeup, you should go to Shidou. He's much better than me. He's obviously a man."

Meng Yue shrugged and replied.

Shidao suddenly felt like he was hit by an arrow in the knee, and it hurt quite a bit.

"But if you want to play games together. As long as you want, I always have all kinds of interesting games to share with you."

As he spoke, Meng Yue tapped Qi Shin's head lightly with his PSV and said with a smile,

"At your service. Is this answer satisfactory? My new family."
