This is not the date I wanted.

"Hey~ I'm sorry, Shidou-kun, since Yoshino's left hand is occupied by Yoshina, it's not convenient for me to light the fireworks alone. Can you help me?"

The rabbit doll in Yoshino’s hand—Yoshina—answered for Yoshino.

Shidou suddenly realized that, indeed, it would be difficult for Yoshino to pick up the lighter and light the fireworks when one of her hands was occupied.

"I see."

Shidou chuckled, took the fireworks from Yoshino's hand, lit them with a lighter, and gave them back to Yoshino.

"……!Thanks……"

After thanking her a bit shyly, Shiono trotted away amid Shionai's laughter.

"Shidou, can something like this that can only crawl on the ground be considered a firework? It doesn't make a thumping sound. It doesn't emit any light either."

Tohka squatted on the ground, looking at the snake-shaped fireworks that kept crawling on the ground. She poked them twice with a branch, tilted her head and asked with a little confusion.

"Well... there are all kinds of fireworks, and not all of them make light or sound."

In response to Tohka's excessive curiosity, Shidou just scratched his face with a wry smile.

"Throat~ The world of fireworks is so profound...Ah! What is this!?"

Just as Tohka nodded with admiration, suddenly, a glowing circle of light jumped to the soles of Tohka's feet, making a crackling sound, which scared Tohka so much that she stood up in panic.

"Tsk... it missed."

At the side, Tobiichi Origami was lighting the next mouse firework.

"W-What are you doing all of a sudden! Tobiichi Origami."

"Nothing, I was just playing with mouse fireworks. It just happened to fall at your feet, I didn't mean to."

Origami said without changing her expression. Then, she threw a mouse firework at Tohka.

"Wow!"

After jumping away in shock, Tohka showed an angry look on her face.

"Nonsense, you must have done this on purpose!"

"What are you talking about? Framing someone for an unintentional mistake shows the decline of human morality. Shidou hates girls with such a personality."

"Really? No, that's not Shidou! I didn't..."

As if frightened by Origami's words, Tohka explained to Shidao in a panic.

"I get it. I get it. I understand that Tohka means no harm."

He smiled bitterly and comforted Tohka. Shidou looked at Origami curiously and said, "When did you come here, Origami?"

"Not long ago..."

Origami was halfway through her speech when suddenly an unidentified flying object hit her right on the back of the head, causing her to nod like a chicken.

The flying object drew a parabola in the air, and Shidou took a look.

Bottled juice.

"Really? I was just going to buy a drink, why did you get into a fight with Tohka, Tobiichi Origami?"

Meng Yue, who came back with a bag of drinks, said with an unbearable look on her face.

"Liang Yi Meng Yue..."

Tobiichi Origami looked at Mengyue with a wary look on her face.

She was able to launch a sneak attack from behind against me who had received special training. If she had thrown a sharp blade at me instead of a jar, I would have been killed long ago.

In many ways, Liang Yi Meng Yue is a dangerous enemy.

As she walked past Origami, Meng Yue whispered in Origami's ear.

"Origami, didn't you promise not to argue with Tohka? Don't you want the agreed reward anymore?"

After Origami heard Meng Yue's words, her shoulders trembled in fear for a rare moment.

"What! What else are you going to say? Tobiichi Origami!"

Tohka looked at Origami with a wary look on her face, but Origami didn't say much this time. She just quietly lit a firework and started playing with it.

"Shidou, here's the soda. Go over there and take a rest!"

Mengyue knew that a big part of the reason why Origami and Tohka were fighting was because of Shidou, so she said to Shidou who was beside her.

"Oh, thank you..."

After drinking the soda, Shidao thanked them, looked at Tohka and Origami with a little concern, and finally went to rest obediently.

Sure enough, after Shidou left, although there was still some estrangement between the two, they did not quarrel.

"Really...why did Sister Mengyue let Origami out to play with everyone even though she had already caught her?"

Just then, Kotori, wearing a black headband and a kimono, walked up to Mengyue and asked with some dissatisfaction.

In response, Meng Yue chuckled.

"Even if we catch her, she'll definitely run away and cause trouble again soon, given her style. It's better to let her play with everyone else. That way, we can keep an eye on her and handle any problems easily."

"I see. It's better to open up than to block..."

Kotori nodded thoughtfully.

"But speaking of which, Mengyue, did you make any agreement with Tobiichi Origami? Otherwise, it's hard to imagine Origami being so honest."

Lingyin also came over and asked Mengyue with a little curiosity. After all, leaving aside Yamai and Mengyue, for Origami who hated elves, at least it was confirmed that Tohka, Yoshino and Kotori were elves, but even so, she didn't see any overly strange behavior.

Meng Yue's mouth twitched slightly in response to Ling Yin's question.

[Your panties were left in the dressing room and Shidou picked them up, took them to the room and did all sorts of things with them. As long as you behave yourself and don't get into trouble with Tohka and the others, I'll give them to you when the trip is over.]

[make a deal!]

When Mengyue thought about the conversation she had with Origami in the warehouse last night, she felt as if she had lost her moral integrity.

Well...if it was clothing that Shiori had taken, my reaction probably wouldn't be much better...

"Well...it's a secret."

After fooling Reine and Kotori with a smile, Mengyue ran to the side.

"Hey! Everyone, come over here for a moment."

Meng Yue waved her hand and called everyone over.

"What's wrong Mengyue, did you find something interesting?"

"Kuku, my compatriots have actually issued a special call for the forbidden hell. It must be something very important. Could it be that those guys in heaven are attacking us?"

"Curious. Let's put aside the complaints about Yakuya. What's up, Mengyue?"

In response to everyone's curious looks, Meng Yue did not say anything. She smiled, took out a button and pressed it.

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!”

Then, from one end of the horizon, strings of beautiful fireworks exploded in the night sky.

"Mengyue, this is..."

Shidou asked incredulously.

"Hehe... I used all the money I earned from stealing to buy 20 minutes of large-scale fireworks."

Meng Yue raised her head and said proudly.

"If you said you earned the money yourself, I would respect you even more, Miss Mengyue..."

"By the way, it was Kannazuki who arranged it! He agreed generously after I gave him a few high-voltage electric shocks."

"Don't reveal such bad news at this time..."

Despite this, everyone was attracted by the beautiful fireworks.

“It’s so beautiful…”

Looking at the fireworks bursting with colorful lights, Mengyue showed a gentle smile on her face.

I never expected that the day would come when I could live in this world like an ordinary person and enjoy this little happiness.

"Hey, this is a rare opportunity, let's take a photo as a souvenir!"

Then, Lingyin asked Fraxinus for a digital camera, and Mengyue was responsible for taking pictures.

"Hehe~ You want to use a recording tool to capture my existence. What an interesting idea, my compatriot~"

"Nervous. It's my first time in front of the camera and I don't know if there's anything weird about it."

"Yoshino, keep smiling at the camera and don't lower your head~"

"……Uh-huh!"

"Hey! Tobiichi Origami, you're too close to Shidou. Stay away!"

"You are the one who should stay away from Shidou, Yatogami Tohka!"

“Hey…”

"What are you doing there? Stand still, you stupid old man!"

"Well, calm down, Kotori."

(Really, I can’t even calm down at times like this…)

As if she had given up, Liangyi Mengyue sighed helplessly.

Yamai Yakuya, Yamai Yuzuru, Yoshino, Yoshina, Itsuka Kotori, Tobiichi Origami, Yatogami Tohka, Murasame Reion... and, Itsuka Shido.

These are all my own family members.

A gentle smile appeared on Mengyue's face.

In the unknown world, like myself drifting in the wind, I finally have a home of my own.

After adjusting the time on the camera, Meng Yue pounced on everyone with the momentum as if to express her excitement.

“I love you all the most!”

“Eh???!!!!!!!!”

——Crack!

Along with the sound of the camera, Mengyue’s first summer trip to the seaside since coming into this world ended.

PS: The Mengyue summer volume has ended, and the next chapter will be the Meijiu chapter.

00 The Songstress Appears

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

"Hmm... I'm so hungry... Mengyue, is dinner not ready yet?"

At this time, in the hall of the Gokawa family, Yatogami Tohka was lying on the sofa, groaning with hunger while biting a soybean flour bread... and a cotton doll to relieve her hunger.

"Come later...dinner will be ready in a little while."

In the kitchen, Meng Yue cleaned the beef after removing the tendons and cutting it. She wiped her hands with the apron she was wearing, cleaned the oil stains on her hands, then picked up a kitchen knife and started cutting onions.

"Ah~ Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've eaten Meng Yue's cooking. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Look forward to it. Although the food that Shidou usually cooks is also quite delicious, the food that Meng Yue made at that time was indeed unforgettable."

Here, Yakuya and Yui were also sitting on the sofa in the hall, watching TV, and from time to time they looked back at Mengyue busy in the kitchen, with expressions of great anticipation on their faces.

"Hey...it turns out Sister Mengyue is also good at cooking."

"What do you mean by that surprised look on your face?"

Pour some seasonings into the pot with the ingredients, and then add a little wine. Mengyue uses a French cooking technique called "wine burning" to remove the fishy smell of the meat and add fragrance to the dish.

After taking out a small spoonful to confirm the taste, Mengyue closed the lid of the pot, turned it to low heat, and looked at Qinli in silence.

"Well... After all, Sister Mengyue is always watching anime and playing games. She doesn't give the impression that she is good at housework."

Kotori shrugged and answered nonchalantly.

Meng Yue was speechless for a moment at this answer.
