"Don't even think about saving me. Without you, I can concentrate on protecting myself."

The two of them looked at each other and both understood that he was just about to say "you are a burden" directly.

"I see."

After explaining this, Zonggu relaxed a little, leaned back, and looked out the dark car window.

"It's almost seven o'clock...has Yoshikawa contacted his parents?"

"I contacted you. I said it was at Akane's house."

"Is this an impermissible situation?"

"No. But telling the truth will make them worry and take more time to explain. It's better to just say it at Akane's house."

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and he smiled too.

"What a flexible top student."

After waiting for another long time, Noma Minami returned to the car, along with Miss Asahina, the shrine maiden of the local shrine.

"Finally solved."

She stretched, started the car, and looked back at the students behind her.

"Miss Asahina said that she is treating guests to barbecue!"

"Great!"

"Eh? Anan, I've never heard of such a thing..."

Zonggu, who had been worried that he would miss a meal, fell asleep after waiting, but was woken up by their shouts.

"Feel sorry……"

He found that he had unconsciously leaned against Yoshikawa and sat up straight again.

She looked ahead and moved her numb arms.
