“…And you let her just go alone like that? Aaah. You could have at least seen her back to the apartment building.” Kotori lay back on the sofa as she let out an exasperated sigh.

Shido, Kotori, and Reine were currently in the Itsuka living room. Shido had been made to sit on the floor, while Kotori was on the sofa in front of him, and Reine was sitting on the sofa to one side, watching over the two of them.

After he’d been abandoned in the park, Shido had nothing else to do but return home, and when he did, Kotori and Reine were standing by already in the living room. Lecture time started pretty much immediately.

“Making a girl walk home alone at night, that’s not a choice I can respect too much.”

“Ngh… I’m sorry.”

Now that she mentioned it, that was exactly right. But Yuzuru had raced down the hill so fast while Shido stood there baffled. As expected of a wind Spirit. There was no way he could have caught up with her.

“…Well, he didn’t have much of a choice given the situation. You did good, Shin.” Reine threw out a life raft for him. She knew what happened. She had watched from Fraxinus.

Kotori snorted and flicked the stick of her Chupa Chups. “I know. I mean, I get that this is a lot to cram into one day.” She looked at Shido. “So. You talked to four people today. You notice anything weird? Tohka, Yoshino, Tonomachi, Yuzuru. Any of them seem like they could be Natsumi?”

“…”

Shido went over the day’s events in his mind.

He had only investigated a third of the suspects. And it was true that if he wanted to suspect one of them, he could have found a reason to. But he couldn’t say at the moment that any one of them was the culprit.

“I still don’t know,” he said, finally. “Anyway, I need to check everyone first.”

“Well…I guess so.” Kotori had apparently anticipated that response. She rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’m checking all the recordings myself, so I’ll tell you if I catch anything.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“Well, anyway. Call it a day here,” she said, recrossing her legs. “You’ve got more to deal with tomorrow. I don’t need your morning plans getting all messed up because of a lack of sleep.”

Shido stood up. “Yeah, okay. I’ll do that then. Reine, what time do I start tomorrow?”

“…Mm. Your first date is at ten. Sorry, but you’ll have to skip school.”

“It is what it is,” he said, resigned to his fate. “We’re on a deadline, after all. Umm, my first date is…”

“…With Kotori.”

“…!”

Reclining on the sofa, Kotori twitched.

Reine clapped her hands like she’d just realized something. “…Oh, right. I meant to tell you not to oversleep tomorrow.”

“—! Y—! That’s not the issue here! As commander I was simply…!” Kotori threw a cushion at Shido when he turned his gaze on her.

“Whoa! Hey!” he protested. “What are you doing?!”

“Shut up! Just go to bed already!” she shouted, and grabbed another cushion.
