This is not the date I wanted.

After the hot spring trip, Liang Yi Meng Yue returned to her apartment. The first thing she did was to stay in her room and play anime and games that had been sealed for a long time. Except for taking a bath, eating, and going out for some things, she hardly ever stepped out of her room.

When Kotori realized that the most dangerous elf of mankind, the "Hacker", was actually a shut-in, she was embarrassed for a long time.

If it wasn't because Shidou had to come back late today because of school matters and couldn't come back to cook, Kotori would never know that her "sister" was actually a housewife (husband) like Shidou who had maxed out the housework skill tree.

"Well...after all, when I lived alone before, I had to do everything by myself."

With a slight smile on her lips, Meng Yue poured the seasoned eggs into the pan while the food was cooking and slowly fried them until they were half-cooked.

"Speaking of which, in the barren forest, Meng Yue was able to make her own kitchen utensils to cook. At that time, I couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of my compatriots."

"Thinking back, the juiciness of the bear paw, the chewiness of the tiger meat, and the taste of the shark fins all made me feel happy on my tongue."

"Wow... Yakuya, Yui. Stop talking... I'm even hungrier."

"Those are animals protected by the state, right?"

Hearing the chattering discussions in the hall, Mengyue felt the rare satisfaction of a family.

With a chuckle, he placed the golden fried half-moon omelet on the rice, gently cut it with a knife, and then slowly poured the hot beef sauce on the rice.

Dandelion-style beef risotto, done.

"Mmm-it's delicious!"

Tohka exclaimed as she wolfed down the food.

"Delicious……"

"Aa ...

Just after Shion took a bite, Shion, who had the same sense as Shion, suddenly exclaimed in amazement, and when she didn't know what to say, Shion suddenly covered her mouth with a blushing face.

"Oh! Mengyue, your craftsmanship seems to have improved a lot."

"Amazing. Can't stop."

"Well, it's pretty good... although my brother's is tastier."

Kotori kept muttering as if she was competing with him.

"Well...thank you very much."

When the ingredients she made were evaluated, Meng Yue showed a happy smile on her face.

"Come to think of it... Shidou came back really late today!"

Looking out the window, it was almost evening and the sun was about to set. Meng Yue couldn't help but say with some regret.

"I can't help it... Who told Shidou to attract so much hatred that he was elected as the executive committee member of the Tenyou Festival?"

Kotori shrugged, expressing her helplessness.

The Ten'ou Festival is a large-scale festival held by ten schools in Tengu City, including Raizen High School. It is similar to a school cultural festival.

Tengu City was formed by the development of the area from southern Tokyo to the back of Kanagawa Prefecture due to the devastating South Kanto Air Disaster thirty years ago.

Initially, it was just a small celebration held by high school students from sparsely populated areas, but now it has become a large-scale event that has booked the large exhibition hall in Tiangong City Square and used it for three consecutive days.

Even Tengu City itself has acquiesced to the status quo because it is unable to cancel the Tenyou Festival, which has grown into a large-scale event.

As an executive committee member, they must help the student union complete various preparations for the Tianyang Festival, including venue layout, budget allocation, class allocation, etc. before the event begins.

Although the task was described as easy, the people present were not fools. After hearing the sales pitch that sounded like that of a shady company, they immediately realized that this was a thankless job. No one volunteered to take part.

Of course, Gokawa Shido is not a fool, but at that time, Yakuya and Yuzuru, as well as Tohka and Origami, were fighting fiercely for Shido, and Shido's friend, Hiroto Tenmachi, who was watching with envy and hatred, decisively sold him out.

Then, hearing the revenge-like shouts of support echoing throughout the stadium, Meng Yue could only look at him with sympathy and silently mourn for him in her heart for three seconds.

"What a pity...Shidou can't eat such delicious food anymore."

Tohka sighed with a hint of regret, handed the empty plate to Mengyue and said, "Another bowl, please."

"If Shidou had come back earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to cook. Besides, weren't you the one who caused it?"

"?"

Seeing Tohka tilting her head in confusion, Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly, indicating that she had lost to Tianrandai, and silently served her a plate.

"It seems that we can only wrap Shidou's portion with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator and wait for Shidou to come back and then heat it in the microwave."

After the meal, Mengyue thought for a moment and put a portion of the meal into the refrigerator.

The Yami sisters looked at Mengyue with a smile on their faces.

"Why... are you looking at me with such a strange face?"

"Ah - I'm thinking I'll be an excellent bride in the future. Haha..."

"Please. Marry Yui together with Shidou..."

boom--! boom--!

The Yami sisters are perfect at committing suicide.

After being hit on the head by the Yami sisters with one fist each, forcing them to crouch down with their heads in their hands, veins bulged on Mengyue's forehead, but she kept a smile on her face.

"Do you think all you have to do is eat? Go wash the dishes!"

Facing Mengyue, who seemed to have a statue of Nio with angry hair standing on end behind him, the Yamai sisters immediately stood up and picked up the dishes to wash them without saying a word.

“Wooo ...

Suddenly, a burst of intense sirens sounded from outside the window.

“Elf——!”

Kotori, who had been looking relaxed after dinner, suddenly looked serious.

He placed the unfinished dinner on the table, put his military uniform on his shoulders, and walked out of the room quickly.

"A spacequake has occurred. You guys should hurry and take shelter!"

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

"Commander! Shidou is now walking out of the school and in a shopping street on his way home."

After seeing Kotori coming, Kannazuki Kyohei immediately gave her a military salute.

"Yes! Quickly retrieve Shidou to Fraxinus and send him to the scene of the incident."

After nodding slightly, Kotori walked a few steps to the command desk in the command room, crossed her legs, held a Jiabeijia lollipop in her mouth, and smiled:

"Go! Let's start our date!"

"Oh~ Kotori-chan is so handsome~"

Suddenly, a leisurely conversation that did not match the serious atmosphere of the scene was heard.

"Sister Mengyue!? Why are you here?"

Kotori asked, looking at Mengyue in shock.

"Well...hacker Fraxinus' computer is in space...don't worry about the small details~"

“This is not a small detail…”

Sighing helplessly, Kotori guessed that it was probably because Meng Yue had done something to her when she invaded the airship. But this was not the point now.

"Well... just stay beside me and watch. Please keep quiet if possible."

"Don't worry. I just plan to see what everyone is busy with when Shidou is conquering the spirit. I won't disturb you."

With a chuckle, Meng Yue nodded.

"Mr. Kannazuki. Thank you for your help in setting up the fireworks at the beach."

"No! It's not a problem at all. I just hope you can give me that kind of electric shock punishment a few more times. It doesn't matter if it's stronger...ah~ What a wonderful memory..."

After seeing Mengyue, a strange blush appeared on Kanwuyue's face, and he spoke while gasping.

"Noisy!"

Kotori couldn't help but give Kannazuki a heavy straight punch, and the latter fell to the ground with a happy look on his face.

In response, everyone, including Meng Yue, just smiled and ignored it.

"Commander! Shidou has arrived at the site of the spacequake."

"OK! Switch the image to the big screen!"

The subordinate reported nonchalantly, and Kotori calmly retracted her fist and gave an order.

Then, an image appeared on the big screen, showing Shido Gokawa standing at the door of a large theater.

"It looks like they have arrived safely."

After letting out a slight sigh of relief, Kotori reported the location of the elf to Shidou who was at the scene via radio.

Meng Yue stood aside, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Eliminating the slight noise produced by electronic equipment, Meng Yue vaguely heard a hint of sound coming from inside the theater.

anyone?

Shidou seemed to have noticed this as well, and after pushing open the huge door, he walked in.

The screen's perspective also follows Shidou's actions and moves into the interior of the theater.

The center of the theater. Perhaps the performers and staff left the stage equipment here and fled for shelter. In the dim venue, there was only a high platform-like stage. The bottom was illuminated by several lights, and it was full of light.

From the center of the stage, a girl wearing gorgeous clothes that made people mistakenly think they were woven from light particles stood there, filling the venue with her singing.

As if possessed by magic, the calm and peaceful melody, like a lullaby, vibrates people's eardrums.

At this moment, not only Shidao, but everyone on Fraxinus was also stunned by this beautiful sound.

"Diva!?"

Kotori and Mengyue shouted at the same time, then Kotori turned around and looked at Mengyue with surprise.

"Sister Mengyue. Have you ever met that elf?"

"I haven't seen it. I saw it in the DEM company's information before."

Shaking her head gently, Meng Yue looked at the elf in front of her, walked up to the podium, and whispered into the microphone.

"Shidou, can you hear me?"

"Eh? Why is Meng Yue there?"

"Let's not talk about that for now. I feel a strange sense of disharmony with this elf. If there is anything unusual, run away immediately."

"oh oh……"

After warning Shidou in a serious tone, Mengyue stared at the singer singing on the stage in front of her, with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

This elf has an aura that is similar to hers, but essentially different.

Moreover, Mengyue also vaguely felt that this elf would be her biggest enemy.

01 Preparation for the Tianyang Festival

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

At this time, in Laichan High School, there was a lively atmosphere like a memorial service.

No, it’s more like preparing for the memorial service.

The Ten'ou Festival is a large-scale celebration jointly held by ten high schools in Tengu City.

So during these few days, everyone was making various preparations for their own stalls.

The girls in Class 3, Year 2, where Meng Yue is, and Class 4, Year 2, where Shidao is, have reserved a stall and are preparing to open a maid cafe.

In theory, although the scale of the Ten'ou Festival is large, it is only a high school cultural festival after all. It seems free, but in fact there are various restrictions. Once it is judged as "not suitable for students to do", it will not be allowed.

Originally, the standard for receiving guests was very subtle, but it was said that the trio of Ai, Mai and Mii from Class 4 cleverly used psychological techniques and first came up with an impossible application A - nightclub.

Then after a scolding, he made another application B - maid cafe.

The judge suddenly had the thought that "this condition is much more normal than the previous one", and for some reason he pressed the approval stamp.

That trio really used their IQ on boring things, Meng Yue thought speechlessly.

At this moment, Mengyue is in her class, knitting costumes for the cultural festival activities.
