After discussing with Kyoko, Tsukuyomi settled down in Kirino's old house.

But the person who should be discussed and explained was not just Kyoko. Early the next morning, Soya asked Akane Kirino to come here in advance.

"Good morning."

She was changing her shoes at the entrance and looked back at him, "What is the thing that you can't tell Hongzi?"

"Just come with me and we'll find out."

Zonggu took her upstairs and opened the sliding door of the innermost room.

Tsukuyomi was lying in the quilt on the floor, disheveled, sleeping soundly.

"..."

Kirino Akane was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Soya again.

"Miss Yuezi?"

He nodded.

"Why?"

Zong Gu took a breath and began to explain to her selectively.

"Actually, like me, he also escaped from the underworld..."

Explained the origin of Tsukuyomi, and then explained the reason why he stayed.

"He can vaguely sense where those spirits are... I need him."

Kirino Akane listened blankly.

In the second half of the period, her eyes were completely focused on Zonggu's face.

He stopped, not knowing how much she listened.

"I still remember a month ago, Souya said he should stay away from these things."

Akane Kirino looked at him, "But whether it's the shrine or Miss Tsukiko...it seems to be more involved now."

"..."

Zongya glanced at Tsukuyomi on the ground, "Maybe I'm too greedy."

"Obviously with Kirino's amulet, I will no longer be hunted by the Daughter of the Underworld, but now I'm starting to fantasize about once and for all, and never suffer any future troubles..."

"——This is not greed, but being prepared for danger in times of peace."

Instead, Kirino Akane spoke for him, "And I can understand it: if you wear the amulet, you won't be able to see the hidden side of the world, and Soya will feel depressed, right?"

His heart skipped a beat.

"In the invisible world, there are things that Soya can't let go of."

Kirino Akane smiled at him, "Isn't it?"

Zongya couldn't deny it.

"Okay, I understand the current situation."

She looked at Tsukuyomi in the quilt again, "But it will be more troublesome to explain the origin of Miss Tsukiko to my parents...and she is such a beautiful big sister..."

Hongzi will be worried too, right?

"He (can) be a man." Soya said.

Akane Kirino: "That's good."

Kirino Akane: "..."

Kirino Akane: “Eh——”

Soya stepped on Tsukuyomi through the quilt and decided to let her witness it, but he was already woken up by her voice.

"Um...what's wrong?"

A male voice that couldn't be more clear.

"..."

Kirino Akane was stunned.

"This is Miss Kirino."

Soya introduced the still confused Tsukuyomi, "This house belongs to her."

"Really... I met him the day before yesterday."

Tsukuyomi scratched his head and yawned again, "So, what's the matter? Do I want to give her money?"

"……Need not."

Soya glanced at Akane Kirino, "If you want to live here, the owner of the house must find out your identity...first of all, your gender."

"Androgyny."

"..."

Seeing Souya's unkind look, Tsukuyomi also remembered his explanation last night.

"Ah, just kidding, I'm actually a man... huh?"

He looked at Kirino Akane who suddenly squatted down, and when he was about to ask, she reached out and grabbed the bulge on his chest.

"It's amazing..."

She turned back to look at Zong Gu who was dumbfounded, "How did you do this? It feels so real."

"..."

"Can you let me see inside the clothes?"

"ah."

Tsukuyomi, who was touched, looked at Soya blankly.

He immediately shook his head.

"no."

"All right."

Kirino Akane stood up and gestured to her chest again, "It's really amazing..."

Zonggu could only pretend that he didn't see it.

"So, why did it become like this?"

"He mutated in the underworld."

"Eh... so pitiful."

Akane Kirino immediately sympathized, "Don't worry, Miss Tsukiko... No, Mr. Tsukiko, I will definitely convince my parents."

Tsukuyomi didn't know how to respond and looked at Soya again.

"She agreed." Zonggu said, "You can continue to sleep. I will leave breakfast for you and come down after we leave."

"oh."

The two left the room and closed the sliding door again.

Kirino Akane looked at the closed door and then at Soya, "Even if Mr. Tsukiko is not allowed to show up now, Anko will still find out sooner or later."

"Let's talk about it then."

He looked at her and said, "Yoshikawa probably won't pay special attention to this kind of thing. She has someone else she cares about more."

"..."

Kirino Akane opened her eyes wide, then smiled at him.

"Yes."

In the living room on the first floor, Yoshikawa, who had just arrived, poked his head around and looked around.

"Akane asked me to come directly here... where is the person?"

...

Time flows.

After the enthusiasm of the first week of school, many students quickly discovered that the actual high school life was far from as magnificent as they imagined;

It’s just that time cannot be turned back. The same mood seemed to have occurred when they were promoted to junior high school. So when they were thinking about how to accept the dullness of high school life, they didn’t realize that they had integrated into the dullness quite naturally.

When it was time to take a lunch break, Fushimi Keisuke took out the lunch box and put it on Soya's table.

And he was staring at his phone, seemingly flipping through something.

"Eat-meal--"

Zonggu raised his head and smiled, then put away his phone.
