This is not the date I wanted.

(Meng Yue, recovered their memories? No, Shidou told them my name, didn’t he?)

Such a thought inadvertently flashed through Meng Yue's mind. She sighed lightly, shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said.

"I'm not the worm in your stomach. How can I guess what you are going to do?"

"Kuku - have you, who knows everything, also lost your power? Half of my body."

"Understood. I know Yakushi."

After Yakuya and Yui looked at each other, they pointed at Mengyue and declared loudly.

"Let's fight it out - Liang Yi Meng Yue, this time the Son of Hurricane will be your opponent."

"Additional note. If we win, you will have to go on a date with Shidou!"

"..."

Meng Yue looked at the two of them in silence for a long time before she sighed as if giving up and took a few steps forward.

Boom——! Boom——!

"It's very rude to point your finger at someone!"

He punched them both on the head.

11 So-called meanness

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

(So ​​boring...)

In a room in the Elf Apartment, Tohka, who had just woken up from a nap, was rolling on the sofa with her kinako bread pillow in her arms.

Today is a weekend, so there is no need to go to school. Normally, at this time, Tohka would go to Shidou's house next door. Although there is nothing special she wants to do, as long as she can be with Shidou, it is the happiest time for her.

But, that’s not possible today.

Tohka knew that Shidou had something very important to deal with with Kotori, and she couldn't make things difficult for them because of her willfulness.

In fact, this kind of thing has happened several times, so Tohka is not dissatisfied.

(Shidou...will you be back for dinner?)

Lazily lying on the sofa, shaking her calves up and down, Tohka couldn't help but think.

"Hello everyone. I'm here to play!"

Suddenly, a pleasant and cheerful shout came from the direction of the living room outside the door.

"Eh...Miku-san...?"

"Oh~ Isn't this Miku-chan~ Welcome."

"You, you, why are you here?! Stop, stop it - don't come near me!"

"That, that..."

"Wow~ Yoshino and Nanashi-chan are so cute~ rub~"

--Um?

Feeling that the living room seemed to be very lively, Tohka couldn't help but feel curious. She got up from the sofa and walked towards the living room.

After entering the living room, the latest soap opera from the noon theater was playing on the LCD TV. On the TV screen, an adult man dressed in fancy clothes was holding two beauties in his arms, one on each side, with a smug smile on his face.

[How is it, President? Are you satisfied? ]

[Hmm~ This is heaven——]

"Ah~ This is heaven~"

On the sofa in front of the TV, Tohka saw Yoshino, whose eyes were already full of stars, Nanashi, whose face was pale and white smoke was coming out of her mouth, and Miku, who was holding the two of them in her arms with an extremely happy smile on her face.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Tohka tilted her head in a silly way and asked tentatively with some uncertainty.

"……acting?"

"how could it be possible!"

The originally pale Seven Sins instantly complained.

"Hey, Tohka-san. I'm here to play."

Miku's eyes suddenly lit up, she let go of Yoshino and Nanashi, and rushed towards Tohka with open arms.

"I see. Welcome, Miku."

Looking at Meijiu who was getting closer and closer, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged in her heart, making her subconsciously move sideways to avoid Meijiu.

"Eh? That's too much, Miss Tohka. Why are you hiding away?"

Hearing Miku's dissatisfied complaint, Tohka scratched her cheek in confusion.

"Sorry. It was just a reflex... But why did you rush over like this?"

"Eh? Need I say more? Of course I'll hug you. It's an expression of love—"

"is that so……"

"En!"

Miku nodded affirmatively. Seeing her gentlemanly and frank attitude, Tohka couldn't help but believe the truth of her words.

"Don't be fooled, Tohka!"

Seeing that Tohka seemed to be deceived by Miku's lies, Nanashi hurriedly grabbed Tohka and at the same time pulled Yoshino to hide behind Tohka, revealing her head and staring at Miku warily.

"This guy must be lying!"

“…! So, that’s how it is!”

Seeing Tohka stop, Miku sighed with a regretful smile.

"Hey - don't be so shy, Nanashi-chan. I'll give you another warm hug later."

"No, that's not necessary! If you dare to come over, Tohka will give you a good beating!"

"Eh?"

Tohka said, looking confused.

"Hehe~ That's hard to say. =w="

Looking at Nanashi who was hiding behind Tohka with a red face and shouting in protest, Miku raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a confident smile, and took out an exquisite packaging box from behind.

“Clang clang clang——I brought a cake. Let’s have afternoon tea together~”

"cake!?"

When she heard about food, Tohka's eyes lit up.

"Too, too despicable!"

Seeing that his shield had been hooked, Nanashi couldn't help but fall into panic.

"Hey - it's normal to bring gifts when visiting someone's home -"

"Goo-"

Nanashi was speechless. At this moment, Yoshino raised her hand and touched Nanashi's hair with the rabbit doll in her hand.

"Well... forget it, Nanashi-chan. Miku-chan isn't a bad person. Let's just leave it at that."

"Um... let's eat cake together... Nanashi-san..."

"Well……"

Being stared at by Yoshino's pitiful eyes, Nanashi immediately lost his momentum. Looking at Miku who looked very interested, he turned his face away somewhat unwillingly and answered in a low voice,

"Okay, okay..."

"That's great, Nanashi-chan!"

"Don't rush over."

Afterwards, a simple tea party was held in the Elf Apartment.

"Hmm~ Yeah, delicious."

After taking a bite of the cake, the rich and soft taste of the cake spread on the tip of her tongue, and Tohka couldn't help but hold her cheeks happily.

"Come to think of it, Darling, Ms. Kotori, Ms. Yakuya, and Ms. Yui, aren't they at home?"

Miku asked curiously. After Tohka swallowed the cake, she answered.

"Well, it seems that Shidou and Kotori have something important to do. It seems that Yakuya and Yui also have something to do, so they went out early in the morning."

Miku nodded in understanding.

"Is that so? Then leave their share for me."

————————————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspectives——————————————

In the evening, in Akihabara, inside a ramen restaurant that can be found everywhere.

"Gurgle gurgle——Hoo——"

Putting the oversized bowl in her hand on the table, Mengyue wiped the soup stains from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Xixian who was still drinking soup sitting opposite her, with a smug smile on her lips.

"It looks like I won, Xixian."

"Not willing. Just a little bit more."

Putting down the bowl of soup in his hand, Xixian lowered his head with regret.

To clarify, Mengyue and Xixian are now challenging a ramen restaurant to offer a special bowl of ramen that is free if you finish it in half an hour.

Strictly speaking, elves do not need to eat. Eating is just a sense or enjoyment of human beings. If they really want to, Mengyue and Xixian can probably eat a restaurant bankrupt easily.

So Meng Yue and Xi Xian were competing to see who could finish the extra-large ramen the fastest. And now, Meng Yue won by only about one second from Xi Xian.

"Sorry. I lost the Yakushi."

"It's alright, my half. I have already received your fighting spirit, so leave the rest to me."

After comforting Xixian with a smile, Yajushi took a deep breath and looked at Mengyue with determined eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

Meng Yue sighed helplessly, closed one eye and asked,

"My current record is nine wins and eight losses. As long as I win one more game, I will win this duel, right?"

At noon, Meng Yue had no choice but to accept the challenge of her two stubborn friends because she couldn't get over them.

Perhaps because of the unfairness in numbers, Yakuya and Yui proposed a proposal to take turns. As long as Mengyue wins two games in a row from Yui and Yakuya, it will be considered Mengyue's victory. Conversely, as long as Yui and Yakuya win two games in a row from Mengyue, it will be their victory.

The content of the game is not limited, you can play kendama, baseball, karaoke, dancing, etc. Both sides take turns to propose a plan to compete.

Although this rule was a bit unfair to Mengyue, she didn't particularly care about it. After all, if you look at it from another perspective, she just went from wandering alone to playing with friends, and she was actually quite happy.

And even if she loses, it won't be a big loss for her.

"Humph, it's too early to be happy, my compatriots. It's my turn now."

Yejuya chuckled complacently and proposed the content of the next game.

——Arcade showdown.

"..."

Meng Yue looked at Yejuya with a very regretful look. If it was a match between other Yejuyas, he might have a chance of winning, but in a video game, who could win against the most dangerous elf, the Hacker? Even if he didn't have the skills, he could just tamper with the data and use a plug-in to kill you in a second.

Xixian seemed to understand this as well, and her expression became very stiff.

"Yajuya..."

"Don't worry, my compatriots. I have been practicing this game secretly for a long time. Just leave it to me."

"My heart is beating. Yakuya is so cute when he is so confident like this!"

——GG. Meng Yue thought to herself with certainty.

But soon, Mengyue felt an awkward and pleading gaze coming from Xixian.

(Well, it's not a must-win game after all, so there's no need to cheat.)
