This is not the date I wanted.

Seeing Mana pick up the bamboo sword bag with a kind smile, the boy said with a wry smile.

"Huh, just understand."

"Ahem. Anyway, as a celebration, let me make a sumptuous meal for you today."

After coughing in an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere, the boy glanced at Mana secretly and said to the girl.

————————————I am the dividing line for starting cooking————————————

"Brother."

Just as the boy was cooking, Mana suddenly came to the kitchen.

"Well, what's wrong, Mana?"

"After school today, I went to the police station to ask if anyone was looking for the missing silver-haired girl?"

Hearing Mana's words, the boy paused for a moment with his hand holding the frying pan, then asked in a calm tone.

"I see...what was the result?"

"No."

Mana shook her head.

"If her relatives didn't find out, she must have died in the space earthquake. Or maybe..."

Having said that, Zhenna closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, the boy could actually vaguely guess what was going on in this sentence.

(Or maybe... she's not human at all.)

Knowing that the girl survived unscathed in the center of the space earthquake, and seeing the strange power she displayed yesterday, anyone would have similar guesses.

"…Did you tell the police she was at our house?"

"……No."

"That's it."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he also gave up his original plan to take the girl to the hospital for treatment. Surviving the space earthquake unscathed and creating clothes out of thin air was far beyond the learning ability of ordinary people. If she was taken to the hospital casually, she might become a guinea pig in some research institute. It was creepy to imagine.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"I……"

The boy quietly turned his head and looked towards the living room. At this moment, the girl was sitting leisurely on the sofa, watching TV with a focused look on her face.

To be honest, even looking at the girl from afar like this, the boy's heartbeat would slightly speed up.

"How about...let her live in our house. She doesn't seem to have anywhere else to go, and we can't just abandon her."

After hesitating for a moment, the boy made the proposal unconfidently.

"...Well, that sounds a lot like what you would say, Onii-sama."

But surprisingly, Mana just shrugged helplessly and did not object.

"Do you agree, Zhenna?"

"Even if my elder brother didn't say it, I would have made the same request. Abandoning the homeless makes me feel guilty."

"Thank you, Mana."

The boy said with some gratitude.

"But, having said that, my brother, please don't take this opportunity to do anything obscene to me."

"I-I can't do that!"

"stare--"

Mana gave him a suspicious look.

"Alright! Dinner is almost ready. Since you're in the kitchen, help set the table!"

"Eh~"

——————————I am the dividing line where cooking ends————————————

"I'm gonna start now."

"I'm starting now."

"I'm gonna start now."

Imitating Mana and her own movements, the girl clasped her hands together and prayed softly before picking up her bowl and chopsticks and starting to eat.

"how is the taste?"

The boy asked anxiously.

"Yeah, very delicious."

The girl nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good……"

Seeing the girl's satisfied expression, the boy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After finishing his meal, the boy adjusted his mood and said to the girl.

"Well, now that we understand each other, can I ask you some questions?"

"……question?"

Noticing the changes in the girl's expression, the boy tried to ask in what he considered a friendly tone.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Can you tell me what you know? I want to know about you."

"Things I know..."

The girl lowered her eyes as if searching her memory, trying to describe the information using the language she had just learned.

"I remember... a flat surface. There were three humans. Two young men and a young girl. They seemed to be speaking English. They seemed to be 'concentration', 'creation', 'spirits'..."

“…Elf.”

Hearing this word, the boy frowned in concern.

"So do you know these three people?"

The girl shook her head at Mana's question.

"I don't know them, but... I don't like them... gu——"

Having said this, the girl suddenly pressed her forehead with a look of discomfort.

"No, are you okay? Don't force yourself."

"It's okay. It just hurts a little."

After the girl's expression gradually relaxed, the boy heaved a sigh of relief.

"Besides that, do you remember anything else? Like where you lived? Do you have any relatives you know?"

"I have no idea."

The girl shook her head blankly.

"That's it."

After exchanging a glance with Mana, the boy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to propose a proposal to the girl.

"So, do you want to just live in our house?"

"Eh?"

Hearing the boy's words, the girl widened her eyes in surprise.

"May I?"

"After all, it was Brother's decision. Naturally, I can't help but complain. Besides, you don't have anywhere else to go, right?"

Hearing Mana's words, the girl showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Indeed."

"Then stay. And as I said before, lending a hand to those in need is a samurai's duty. Ah—right."

At this point, Mana seemed to suddenly think of something and asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Come to think of it, I don't know your name yet. Do you have one?"

"name……"

The girl fell into a long silence, obviously not being able to come up with an answer to the question.

"That's right. You can't keep calling me 'you'. What's wrong with that——"

"——Mio. How about this name?"

The boy suddenly spoke.

"Eh?"

"...?"

Mana couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

"What, what happened? Did I say something weird?"

"No... the name is not bad. I'm just a little surprised. After all, my brother's naming taste is a bit out of common sense."

"Hello..."

Hearing Zhen's harsh words, the boy couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Then, what's the origin? Is it the name of the heroine in the comic? Or is it the name given to the delusional lover?"

"How do you see your brother? There's nothing special about him. It's just that the day we met was the 30th. So he's called 30 (Mio), or something like that."

"Um……"

Mana's expression was very subtle. Although the reason was too simple and casual, there was nothing wrong with the name itself, so it was hard to deny.

"Well, in the end, the person concerned still has to agree. Well, how about it?"

"Eh? Um..."

As if she hadn't fully understood the current situation, the girl looked at a loss.

"Oh, right, because we have to let the public know. After all, if they want to stay here, it's better to say they are our relatives. If we add our last name, it will be 'Takamiya Mio'."

"Takamiya Mio..."

The girl looked down at the palm of her hand and read out the three words in a very soft and clear voice.

"Chong Gong Mio... Chong Gong Mio... Chong Gong Mio..."

As if to confirm something, the girl repeated it over and over again. She looked like a child counting the change in a piggy bank.

Gradually, crystal tears slid uncontrollably down the girl's cheeks.

"These are... tears... but... why... like this..."

The girl kept wiping her eyes, but even so, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Seeing this scene, the boy's heart was slightly touched.

Even though she possesses incredible superpowers and has excellent learning abilities, she is still a human being.

An ordinary girl who is afraid of loneliness, needs a place to stay and the company of others.

With a small smile on her face, Mana and the boy sat on either side of the girl, stroking her back gently.

"It's okay. Mio, this is your home from today on."

Afterwards, "Takamiya Shinshi" secretly vowed in his heart that he would protect her no matter what happened.
