"Human, hungry."

After Kurosan came to the square below, Natsume met C.C. who was acting with Kotori and the others.

Due to the hot spring incident before, Natsume, who was a little embarrassed, did not get too close to them, but deliberately distanced him for a while.

The girl who raided Natsume's back from behind was C.C.

She is currently wearing a yukata and clogs, and there is a little white flour on her mouth.

"Have you eaten the dumpling just now? I remember having a very hearty dinner before?"

"No, humans should be a little tasty, so they have no appetite."

Rather than saying it is not delicious, it is because it has been poisoned by Natsume cuisine.

Let C.C. let go of her shoulders, Natsume turned over and wiped off the flour from the corner of her mouth with her hands.

"Where is your room?"

"have no idea."

"Ha? If you act with Kotori and the others, you should be told the location of the room."

"Then forget, to go to the human room to sleep at night."

"No matter how you think about it, you won't be able to do it."

"I'll sleep on the floor."

"I'm not that cruel, either!"

It's too bad to let C.C. sleep on the floor and sleep on the bed by himself.

"Then I'll sleep on the ceiling."

"Do you think you're a bat?"

"Then I will open the city gate and play the piano on the roof."

"Where did you know about the [Empty City Plan]?"

never mind.

Not to mention these, the two focused on the upcoming bold test conference.

Since enough notes were prepared in advance, the students responsible for the event put specific notes in after calculating the number of people.

But because there is one more person, a classmate needs to quit and play the role of a monster.

only--

“…No need to quit, I’ll come too.”

"Does Teacher Mura Yu also participate?! Then, let's do it. Please come up and draw lots! The numbers are the same as one set! For fairness, notes cannot be replaced! Otherwise, it will be treated as abstention!"

"well?!!"

Many students complained with dissatisfaction, but were full of interest.

The students in front started drawing lots, holding different thoughts, and the students were looking forward to being in the same group with the people they like.

This idea is normal, but for Natsume, it feels a bit strange.

Is it really that important to attend the bold test meeting with someone you like?

"What is the live ammunition conference in humans?"

"It seems like I'm going to shoot, it's a bold test."

"Examination meeting?"

"It's like a game that looks like seeing how courageous you are."

"I see."

I always feel like C.C. doesn't understand.

"I hope I can be together."

Kuang San said this. The three of them went up to draw notes together.

When I saw that everyone had been drawn, the classmate like an emcee announced the rules.

"What students have to do is pass through this forest and take out a prop we prepared from the abandoned wooden house near the stream. Even if you pass after you come back, you will have unexpected surprises on the way. You can get the final victory by using the least timed group, and you can get a big gift package from the teacher!"

Surprise is just the ghosts that other students dressed up as. As for what the gift package is, I don’t know.

Thinking of this, Natsume opened his note.

The number number is nine.

"Mine is Twelve, what a pity."

"yes."

"Human, mine is Ba. If you are so close, you can be together."

"No, this is not a question of whether it is close or not. It must be the same."

On the other hand, Shido, who came over with Shika and others, said hello to the three of them.

"How are you? Are there a group of people?"

"Yes, are there any, Shido and I are much different!"

Shika held the note number 20, looking depressed.

Kotori and Shiseno, who were following behind them, also walked up to him.

"My brother and I are also much different, no, it should be that my brother and we are much different, right?"

Kotori criticized him with a strange excuse, Shido shrugged and said that he was powerless.

Listening to the conversation of several people, SiShiNa, who was injured in SiShiNa, also inserted it.

"What a joke! Didn't our four-series actually draw the same number as Shido?"

"This cannot be forced."

Shido finished speaking and looked at Natsume.

"Where are yours?"

"C.C.'s number eight, Kuang3 is number 12, and I am number nine."

"Nine?"

"What's wrong?"

Slowly raising the note in his hand, the two looked at each other again, and smiled bitterly.

Natsume’s teammate is Shido.

At first I wanted to change the notes, but the referee discovered that they had just come into contact with each other. At the same time, many boys were also monitoring Natsume and Shido to prevent them from changing the serial number and being with the girl.

In this way, the two seemed to have become public enemies of the whole class.

In this way, as the personnel who set out in the ninth group, the two stood at the starting point three minutes after the eighth group left.

"It's time to go!"

Hearing the voice of his classmates, Natsume, who was responsible for holding the flashlight, walked out.

There are only unknown cries of insects and kingly cicadas in the woods. In addition to these, perhaps the melody of leaves played by the breeze.

At present, the bright moon, as dazzling as the sun, is like a jade plate, surrounded by pearls called stars.

If it weren't for two big boys, this situation might make people's heart beat.

Walk on the left, and move the flashlight to other places from time to time to see if there are any 'monsters' appearing.

"Natsume."

"The question I asked may be a bit strange. Is there something missing around you?"

Upon hearing this question, Natsume suddenly realized that something was missing.

Yes, it's just about recording that stupid girl.

Although she retained most of her memories, Shido Tokawa and others who had been with her for a short time could not remember it so clearly.

The recording began to disappear.

Forgeting from memory is a reflection of this situation.

"Natsume?"

He was called again, and Natsume realized that he had stopped.

"It's nothing, I just thought about it. As for what you said less, it might be just your illusion."

Even telling him, it won't work.

It will disappear. If you tell others brainlessly, it will only cause chaos.
