Right when dinner was just about ready, the doorbell rang. Komachi was standing in front of a pot on the stove, so I decided to get it instead. I could see Yuigahama on the intercom screen, cheerfully adjusting her hair. I figured she was there to pick up Sablé. Once I’d checked the intercom, I went out to let her in.

When I opened the door, she waved. “Oh, yahallo!”

“’Sup.”

“Here’s your souvenir,” she said, handing me a paper bag.

From the size and weight, it didn’t seem to be a wooden sword. Too bad. I would have been rather pleased to receive a keychain of a little sword with some random dragon winding around it or a glow-in-the-dark skull keychain.

“You can only get them there!” she said.

“Huh…”

I looked into the paper bag, as Yuigahama instructed, and inside were sweets from her trip. Well, they were a regional version of snack you’d often see for sale. It was a pretty safe choice. It indicated where she had gone, and she had also been careful to choose something that few people would dislike. The sweets were in individually wrapped packets, so it would be easy to pass around at work or school. It was a very tactful souvenir. But seeing her gift suddenly reminded me of a particular incident. “These are…”

“Huh? You don’t like them?” Yuigahama peered into the paper bag in my hands, looking worried.

“No, they’re fine, but…girls always buy something like this as a souvenir, don’t they? And then they pass them around to all the other girls in class.”

“Yeah, that’s true. Some people don’t, though. Like Yumiko.”

Miura, huh? I’d expect nothing less of the queen. She takes it for granted that other people should be the ones buying stuff for her, and I can respect that. “Once, someone put a wrapper from some region-limited snack into my shoe cubby,” I said. “It was definitely one of the girls in my class. She clearly had no desire to hide the crime, either. Her confidence just made it hurt all the more…” A dry chuckle welled up in my throat.

Panicking, Yuigahama attempted to amend the situation. “I-it’s okay—that’s not gonna happen this time!”

“I hope not.”

“It’ll be fine!” Yuigahama insisted, clenching a fist. “Nobody’s even aware of you enough to do something like that.”

“That’s true.” Her comforting skills were practically nonexistent, but she was actually convincing anyway, so whatever. I’m really glad my stealth abilities have been giving me results. They’re so good, they could even work on the Ant King. I was relieved to hear I would be able to spend the second semester in peace and tranquility.

Yuigahama, however, was peering into the house from the door with a little concern. “So how is Sablé?”

“Oh, he’s good,” I told her. “Komachi!” I called into the house.

Komachi came to the door, holding Sablé in her arms. He yipped.

When she saw him, Yuigahama smiled. “Thanks, Komachi!”

“It was nothing,” my sister replied.

Yuigahama petted the dog in Komachi’s arms and asked, “He didn’t cause you trouble?”

“Oh, no, not at all,” replied Komachi.
