“Kojou Akatsuki!”

Sayaka chased Kojou into the bedroom before he could close the door. Kojou grimaced, recalling the embarrassing misunderstanding from just earlier as he looked back at her.

“What?”

“Um… Yukina’s safe, isn’t she?”

“Yeah.”

How should I know that anyway? Kojou pondered as he sat down on the sofa right beside him. Quirks aside, it was still a villa, so the bedroom’s interior was fairly spacious. After all, it had not just beds but sofas and a table, and it came fully furnished with a toilet and bath.

All that said, Kojou naturally still felt a little tense at being alone in a room with a girl.

For her part, Sayaka sat down gingerly upon a corner of a bed with its side facing Kojou. Given the conversation that had just ended, her behavior could make someone think she was inviting Kojou over. She sure let down her guard a lot for someone who hated being around men. That said, Kojou couldn’t exactly point that out to her, sighing wearily instead.

“Well, you probably don’t need to worry about Himeragi. She’s with La Folia and all. Kirasaka, you should know pretty well by now that princess is a smooth talker.”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Sayaka seemed to lack confidence as she cast her gaze downward. Kojou knew well just how precious Yukina was to her. Really, she had to want to rush off and save Yukina that very moment.

Kojou understood her feelings well. He didn’t have it in him to be hard on Sayaka.

“Anyway, let’s leave it to Asagi and Yaze for now. Aldegia’s army and police have to be looking for her with everything they’ve got. It’s all right. We’ll find them soon.”

“Yeah.”

Sayaka nodded a little as she grasped the hem of her skirt.

As a matter of fact, there was nothing either of them could do that moment no matter how nervous they got. It was better to save their strength just like Asagi had told them to. Sayaka surely understood that, too.

“By the way, why’d you come to my and Yaze’s room? The girls’ room is over there.”

“I—I did not come because I wanted to, but now that Yukina is unable to continue observing you, I need to take over her mission for her…”

Kojou dismissed her excuses. “That doesn’t mean you have to sleep in the same bedroom! That’s just weird! If you’re gonna sleep, go to your own bed—”

He abruptly swallowed his words. He’d just remembered a small detail.

“Oh, right. Kirasaka, can you use ritual spells to make people sleep better?”

“Eh?”

An expression of blatant distrust came over Sayaka.

“What do you intend to do after forcing someone else into sleep…?!”

“Not that. I’m asking you to make me sleep. Figures that with Himeragi and La Folia on my mind, I don’t feel sleepy at all.”

“Ahh.”

Sayaka seemed accepting, as she nodded. Kojou being a vampire made him quite a night owl by default, and even if the fight with the tarrasques had tired him, he didn’t think he’d fall asleep any time soon.

“Guess I have to. I can cooperate with you if it is something like that.
