This is not the date I wanted.

Just like the protagonists in the two-dimensional world, brave and handsome heroes.

After hearing what Niya said, Kotori's expression relaxed a little.

"Okay. I'll just believe you for now. If you have any questions, don't hide them and tell me immediately, okay?"

"Understood. Speaking of which, Sister-chan, where are the others?"

"Everyone is waiting outside the door," Kotori replied with a shrug, "Do you want me to take you to them?"

Erya nodded affirmatively.

"Well, please."

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

The automatic doors moved to both sides, and everyone's eyes converged on them.

I saw Erya wearing a white hospital gown, sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out by Qinli.

"Hey~ I'm back everyone."

Erya waved to everyone and said.

"Niya-chan!"

"Haha, you're much more energetic than expected."

"I'll take it. It's better than anything else that you're okay."

The elves gathered around Erya, greeting each other. As if he couldn't handle the concern, Erya turned his head away a little embarrassedly, scratched his cheek and said.

"Hey hey hey... what? When did I become so popular... If you want an autograph, please come one by one in order."

"Really? Can't you hide your shyness in a cuter way?"

Meng Yue sighed silently.

"I'm sorry, I'm just such a troublesome person."

Nia shrugged and looked towards Shidou.

"Um... I'm sorry, boy. I was... caused a lot of trouble by DEM... I'm very sorry."

"It's okay." Shidou shook his head gently, held Niya's hand, and said gently, "You are still alive, which is more important than anything else."

As if choked by Shidou's words, Nia lowered her head and spoke with a little stutter.

"Yeah... I'm really impressed. I'm not good at dealing with this kind of atmosphere."

"I say, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Meng Yue asked a little annoyed when she saw that Nia only apologized to Shidou.

"Of course, I also have a lot to say to Bili-chan. Um, come over here a little."

Erya waved at Mengyue with a wry smile on his face, motioning her to come closer.

Meng Yue frowned slightly, although she was a little confused about Erya's behavior, but she still bent down and leaned forward.

——Chirp!

Without giving Mengyue any chance to react, Erya kissed Mengyue on the lips.

For a moment, the whole audience fell into an eerie silence.

"Phew~Thanks for the treat."

Sitting back in the wheelchair, Erya said with satisfaction as he looked at Mengyue, whose eyes were wide open and body was stiff, and who had obviously not come back to his senses.

"Um... Miss Niya... can you explain it to us?"

Shidou asked while looking at Nia with a shaken expression.

"Young man, don't misunderstand me."

Erya explained righteously,

"I don't like girls. It's just that one of the people I like happens to be a girl."

"What do you mean—ugh!"

Without waiting for Shidou to finish his words, Niya grabbed Shidou's collar and pulled him over, kissing him on the lips without hesitation.

"——!?"

If Erya's kiss to Mengyue just now could only cause everyone to fall into silence, then this one undoubtedly caused an uproar.

"What are you doing? Let go of Shidou, Honjo Niya!"

"Can I understand this as a declaration of war?"

Tohka and Origami quickly pulled Shidou away and looked at Nia with hostility.

"Haha...the plan was successful."

Erya raised the corner of his mouth and gave a sly smile that looked like "the plan succeeded".

"If I kiss the boy first, Bilijiang will definitely be on guard. But on the contrary, if I kiss Bilijiang first, the boy will definitely think to himself, 'This is equivalent to kissing Bilijiang indirectly,' and let me kiss him half-heartedly."

"Shidou..."

"Wait! You misunderstood! I, I don't have that much time to think about this kind of thing. Indirect kissing or something..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on him, Shidou hurriedly waved his hands to deny it.

However, his face, which seemed to have turned redder after being enlightened by Erya, made everyone's eyes look even colder.

"Why are you suddenly doing something like this, Erya?"

Kotori sighed and asked helplessly.

"Ah~ Sister. You see, even though I lost my first kiss to a boy, I was unconscious at the time so I don't remember anything. It would be a big loss if I didn't seize the opportunity to experience it."

Niya glanced at Shidou, who looked embarrassed by the questioning of everyone, and Mengyue, who still had not recovered from her shock, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

"Besides, we all know that there is no hope anyway. Wouldn't it be better to leave ourselves with a good memory and then call it a day?"

I guess that's what it means to fall in love the moment you fall in love.

“…Humph. I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it this time.”

Kotori turned her head and spoke in a small voice.

"...Thank you."

After answering in a low voice, Erya took a deep breath and the smile called "making trouble" bloomed on his face again.

"Oh, now it suddenly occurred to me. If I kiss you now, after having kissed the boy, wouldn't that be equivalent to kissing him indirectly?"

Not surprisingly, Yuiya Miku's eyes lit up at Honjo Nia's inexplicable twisted logic.

"You're absolutely right! Nia-chan, you and I will definitely get along well! Whether it's kissing a cute girl or kissing Darling indirectly, I'd love to do it!"

At the same time, Tobiichi Origami seemed to have thought of a brilliant idea and suddenly raised her head.

"I see... If I kiss Ryougi Yumezuki first... I can then have a French kiss with Shidou."

Without hesitation, these two elves, who were the most active among all, immediately took action to fulfill their desires.

Then--

Fell into Mengyue's death grip.

"Huh... This is really disturbing. You guys really can't stop for a moment."

Meng Yue, who had been clutching the two men's skulls tightly, finally came to his senses and revealed a amiable smile on his face.

"Hanni...your love...is a little heavy..."

"For kissing Shidou... I don't mind."

"I mind."

After answering with a sneer, Meng Yue turned to look at the others and asked gently.

"You guys...want to try it too?"

Tohka and the others shook their heads without hesitation.

"And... Erya."

“——Yes, yes!”

Hearing this gentle voice with hidden murderous intent, Erya shuddered and quickly straightened his back and replied.

"I don't want to attack patients, so I'll let you go this time. But if you do it again next time... I'll let you see hell."

Erya's face suddenly turned pale. She could tell that there was no joking in Mengyue's tone.

"Yes! I'm so sorry!"

"... Phew. I'll let you go for now then."

Exhaling slowly, Meng Yue let go of Miku and Origami, and turned to look at Shidao.

"Shidou, it should be about time, right?"

"Well, it will be here in a little while."

After taking out his cell phone to check the time, Shidou nodded, walked behind Nia, and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair.

"Well, what are we going to do next?"

Niya asked in confusion. In response, Shidou smiled.

"You'll know it later."

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

A few minutes later, Shidou and the others walked out of the underground facility and came to the roof of a building belonging to Ratatoskr.

The scenery in front of us was pitch black, and the cold evening wind blew over the roof with a little bit of snow. To resist the cold, everyone put on thick coats, scarves, gloves, knitted hats and other cold-proof equipment. They spread a blanket on the ground and sat on it to rest.

“——Ah. It’s really cold outside. Right, Yoshino-san? If clothes are not enough, we can use our skin to keep warm, right?”

“No, that…”

"...Don't get close to Yoshino...Miku, I've seen through your plan."

Miku spoke to Yoshino with great interest. Yoshino smiled wryly in confusion, while Nanashi seemed to want to protect her and held onto her.

"I see... we want to watch the sunrise."

After exhaling a puff of white smoke, Erya looked around and said with sudden enlightenment.

"I say, can't you just pretend you didn't notice it now?"

Seeing that Erya had revealed their intentions, Mengyue tapped her forehead in annoyance.

"It's rare that everyone is so kind as to give you a surprise. Even if you find out, you can't tell anyone."

(Are you qualified to criticize others, Mengyue...)

"Hmm? Is there anything you want to say, Shidou?"

"No, no. Nothing."

Seeing Meng Yue's gaze turned to him, Shidao quickly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm just such a troublesome person."

Erya shrugged his shoulders and looked into the darkness in the distance.

At this time, the time has long passed midnight of December 12st and entered January 31st, the first day of the year.

For the Japanese, welcoming the first sunrise of the new year is an important event that cannot be missed.

(Completely forgot.)

Niya thought in her heart with annoyance. In the past few days, she was first busy with her comics, then declared war on Shidou and the others, and during this period she received a death notice from her angel. Various things popped up one after another, making her forget about the New Year.

"The time is almost up..."

As soon as Shidou's voice fell, the sky changed subtly.

A dawn appeared from the other end of the horizon, and the white light split the deep darkness into two.

Gradually, gradually.
