This is not the date I wanted.

The beautiful girl with long hair in the night sky waved two non-existent air drum sticks in her hands and sang a light voice-over. This silly and cute behavior filled the living room with a different healing atmosphere than before, making everyone smile.

"...By the way, Mengyue. What did you want to ask me just now?"

"No, let's talk about it later."

Meng Yue shrugged, expressing that she was filled with cuteness, sighed, and shook her head.

……

"So, you're into women's clothing?"

After dinner, Kotori came to Shidou's room. She had changed into a black headband and entered the commander mode. She sat on Shidou's bed and said teasingly.

"How is that possible! Do you really want your brother to become a sister?"

"Well... forget about that. Let's get down to business."

After a dry cough, Kotori said seriously.

"From today's raid, it seems that Meijiu's situation is exactly as we suspected. She is a lesbian."

"Um……"

When Shidou thought about how he was almost killed just for talking a few days ago, and the extreme contrast between Miku and her after she changed into women's clothes today, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Well, judging from what happened today, it seems that Miku's strategy is indeed correct. Besides, I am lucky to have the opportunity to meet Miku again. It just so happens that she also has the habit of having afternoon tea with a woman she likes once a week."

On the table was a lace handkerchief that had been washed and folded.

This is the handkerchief that Miku left behind to bandage Shidou's wound when Shidou accidentally fell due to the clutter in the venue.

Indeed, it is a good idea to contact her by returning the handkerchief. Although there is a possibility that she will say goodbye directly after taking back the handkerchief... But at that time, it depends on Ratatoskr's instructions and Shidao's improvisation.

"But before that, there is one more thing to note."

Suddenly, seriousness appeared in Kotori's eyes.

"what?"

"Mengyue! Haven't you learned enough from the previous lesson? Maybe it's the aftereffects of the previous strategy. She's fine when she sees you normally, but once you put on Shiori's outfit, Mengyue's favorability towards you will instantly exceed the maximum. If she knew that you were going to date Miku in Shiori's outfit, what would her reaction be?"

"Uh, indeed..."

"Really what?"

Meng Yue asked the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

The Gokawa siblings screamed in unison.

"Really, your reaction is so rude. I'm not a monster."

Meng Yue puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Eh? Mengyue, when did you come?!"

"Just now, I came to talk to Shidou about something. But I walked in without closing the door."

"Can you at least knock on the door?"

Shidou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It doesn't matter. We are family anyway." Meng Yue shrugged in a confused manner, then turned her gaze to Kotori, "As expected, Yui Miku is the "Diva" (singer)?"

"Well, indeed, it's amazing that you noticed that!"

With a light sigh, Kotori expressed her giving up and surrendering.

"Well...I just noticed it by accident."

Mengyue smiled bitterly. If it wasn't for the fact that Yui Miku's singing appeared on the TV show that Tohka was watching, she wouldn't have noticed that the two were the same person.

"And then? Since Yui Miku is a yuri, should Shidou wear women's clothes to conquer her?"

"Should I say you are worthy of being Sister Mengyue? I haven't told you anything, but you basically know everything."

"Well, it's okay if Kotori-chan admires me more~"

Smiling and patting Kotori's head, Mengyue said to Shidao: "That's it, I'll go with you to Rindouji Onna and Miku tomorrow!"

“…Ehhhhh!!!????”

After a moment's silence, the two finally digested Meng Yue's words and exclaimed.

"Why? Anyway, I've already finished my work at the Ten'ou Festival, so I'll be free tomorrow. Although Miku said she wanted to invite a girl she liked to have afternoon tea with, it wouldn't be a problem if she had one more."

Meng Yue said as if it was a matter of course.

"Eh? Wait... That's true. But why? You should understand that Shidou isn't going there just for afternoon tea."

After Kotori managed to calm down, she said to Mengyue.

"Of course I know. Shidou is trying to capture Miku's spiritual power. Don't worry, I'm not that tolerant." Meng Yue sighed helplessly and said, "I did this for a reason. If Shidou's male identity is accidentally exposed, Miku will definitely let Shidou go. If I'm here, I can protect Shidou if he encounters danger."

“Well…indeed.”

Meng Yue's words do make sense. With Shidao's image of a woman who has been trained before the battle, there are many flaws in it. Although he has been lucky enough to fool around so far, he can't say that he will be so lucky in the future. If his identity is accidentally exposed and Yui Miku knows that the person in front of him is a pervert dressed in women's clothing, then Gokawa Shidao's ending will definitely be very miserable.

Although Meng Yue was sealed, Ratatoskr found that Meng Yue and Shidao's spiritual power circuits were relatively loose after inspection. As long as Meng Yue wanted, she could basically summon limited spiritual equipment and angels easily. She is also very suitable as a guard.

"At that time... when you were almost pushed off the stage and fell to the ground, Shidou, I was really upset. Although I know that you, Shidou, have Kotori's power and can recover, but I will never allow you to watch helplessly and do nothing!"

Meng Yue laughed at herself unhappily, then looked directly at Shidou with her amber eyes, "Shidou, you have already vowed to become my family. So I hope that you can rely on my help just like you rely on Kotori."

"...I see. Kotori, what do you think?"

After hearing Mengyue's unwavering declaration, Shidou gave a bitter smile of giving up and turned his gaze to Kotori.

"...That's right. Indeed, with Shidao's poor acting skills, he has to consider the risk of exposing his identity. Once danger occurs, Sister Mengyue can rescue him immediately." After thinking for a moment, Kotori nodded in agreement, "Sister Mengyue, I'll leave this stupid brother to you tomorrow!"

"Yes! Leave it to me."

Meng Yue nodded firmly.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Mengyue, please don't push Shidao who is dressed as a woman because you can't help it."

"Um...I shouldn't...right?"

"Why do you have to answer with a question?!"

04 The elder sister of Rindouji

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

After school the next afternoon, Gokawa Shido changed into women's clothes and went to Rindouji Girls' School as planned yesterday, accompanied by Ryougi Yumezuki, who volunteered to accompany him as a bodyguard.

"Hu...ha...hu...ha...ah...heaven..."

"Um... Mengyue, isn't it inconvenient for you to walk like this?"

On the way to the destination, Liangyi Mengyue hugged Shidao's arm, and her whole body weight was completely on Shidao. If it weren't for her feet coordinating with the walking, she would have looked like a koala hugging a tree trunk.

Feeling his arms being surrounded by a soft and warm touch, and the refreshing body fragrance like mint lingering around his nose, Shidao could feel waves of heat coming from his cheeks.

"It's okay! I can control the structure of space by emitting electromagnetic waves. Even without seeing, I can clearly grasp the information around me and react immediately. I will never let Shiori fall into danger."

Meng Yue's cheeks flushed slightly due to excitement. She leaned her head on Shidao's shoulder and rubbed her cheek against Shidao's clothes while speaking.

"Y-really?"

The corners of Shidou's mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn't know whether what the other party said was true, in fact, on this crowded street, even if Miku already knew his real gender, the possibility of her launching an attack was very small.

On the contrary, another problem has arisen.

The corner of Shidou's mouth twitched slightly.

"Wow, there's a pair of lilies here! The tallest!"

"How could this be? Such a pretty girl is actually a lesbian. What a waste of resources!"

"Hehe! Perfect! Forget about being a couple. I'm destined to be unwanted anyway. All the girls in the world should just go for lesbian!"

"Dad, are those two sisters a couple?"

"Don't look! Daughter, that world is too early for you!"

The two beauties looked as affectionate and affectionate as a couple, which naturally attracted all kinds of emotional looks from passers-by.

Hearing the whispers coming from all around, Shidao's forehead began to sweat slightly, and he felt an indescribable pressure pressing on his shoulders.

"Mengyue, can you please let go a little...others are watching."

"I'm sorry, Shiori." Meng Yue shook her head, increased the strength of her arms to hug, and said with an unprecedented serious face, "Now I have to race against time to replenish Shiori's elements to ensure that my brain can remain calm enough after Shiori and Miku meet. Otherwise, I'm worried that my mental power will go against the flow and run wild. Just like if the metal walls of a space yacht are not filled with special liquid ice before launch, it will overheat and melt when passing through the atmosphere. So... Ha-ah~"

After giving a bunch of reasons that Shidou didn't understand at all, Ryougi Yumezuki pressed her face against Shidou's clothes and took a long, deep breath.

With an embarrassed look on his face, for some reason, in Shidao's eyes, Mengyue at this moment overlapped with the figure of another person in his mind.

(Origami Tobiichi: "Ha... a cold? Strange, my physical condition hasn't been abnormal recently... Never mind... Shidou's... gymnastics uniform... Ha-ah~")

"Is that right?"

"That's right. Shiori, in your eyes, my life as a family member is not as important as the eyes of those strangers?"

Meng Yue pursed her lips and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Unlike his usual carefree and carefree personality, this unexpected contrast made Shidao's heart beat faster.

"What are you doing, Shidou! Mengyue's mental state is beginning to decline!"

Kotori's voice reached Shidou's right ear.

Normally, Mengyue can maintain a very stable mental value even when she is alone. But when Shidao changes into Shiori, Mengyue's favorability will instantly exceed the maximum value, and the mental values ​​of all aspects will become relatively active and fluctuate.

In particular, once Meng Yue feels that the word "family" is denied, her mood will obviously start to deteriorate.

After being reminded by Kotori, Shidou suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly comforted her.

"That's not true! Of course Mengyue is more important. Didn't I say it? Mengyue will always be an important family member to me."

"Yeah! Shiori likes it the most!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing the crowd getting excited by Mengyue's passionate speech, Shidao laughed dryly and could only blame himself in his heart.

Why is the road from Conglai Zen to Rindanji Girls’ School so long?

————————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line that finally reached my destination——————————————————————————————

In fact, the distance between Raizen and Ryodanji Girls' School is not very long. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

However, Shidao felt as tired as Tang Seng and his disciples who had walked 18,000 miles.

"——Shidou, can Mengyue hear me? Rindouji has finished school. Miku will be here soon."

Kotori's voice rang in the ears of Mengyue and Shidou. Since Liangyi Mengyue was there as a strategy assistant this time, Kotori also gave her a wireless invisible headset.

"I understand. Okay Mengyue, it's almost time to let go."

"Well...I know."

Although she was a little reluctant, Mengyue still obediently let go of her hands that were tightly hugging Shidao.

Since Rindanji was a school for young ladies similar to that of noble women, the time of classes was slightly different from that of the general public schools. So now, Rindanji was just entering the end of school time.

So, Ryougi Yumezuki and Gokawa Shido stood at the school gate waiting for Miku to come out of the school.

Although I went there every time, when I saw a group of female middle school students wearing sailor suits and two of them were female students from other schools wearing the male and female uniforms of other schools, passers-by could not help but focus their attention on them.

Mengyue didn't care, but Shidao couldn't stand it. He pulled the hem of his skirt down anxiously and rubbed his legs constantly.

"What? Do you want to go to the bathroom, Shidou?"

“…That’s weird!”

"If it's true, don't hold it in, Shiori. If you don't know how to go to the toilet... I'm embarrassed, but at least I have experience and can teach you step by step."

"Mengyue, don't believe it!"

Shidou helplessly drooped his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"By the way, Miku is the executive committee member of the Ten'ou Festival, so she will have a lot of work to do after school..."

"You can rest assured about this. According to reliable information, as long as she meets someone who is having afternoon tea with a cute girl, Mijiu will forcefully turn down work even if she has work to do. With your and Mengyue's charm, there will be no problem."
