Now then, although it’s great that I bid farewell to Kaito, it’s not like I know about Eri and Mana’s whereabouts so, I wonder what I should do.
Since this is after that emotional departing, going back to the classroom and asking where they are is no good. I don’t have that kind of courage.
Which would mean that I have no choice but to search for them with these legs that I received from my parents but……it really is vast, this place.
When I was thinking that, the shining light of the sun interrupted me.
When I reflexively looked up, what was there was
「Are those, white……panties!?」
I caught a peek of the white thin cloth of a young girl that was straddling a broom.
Hn? A broom?
「Is that, Mana?」
「Fue?」
Mana, who had passed by overhead in an instant, turned her body around while stopping in mid-air.
It was a way of stopping like it was for a bicycle. It had a *Zusa~* (Skid~) feeling to it.
「Yashiro-san!」
*Sui~*. Mana, who was flying as if she were sliding, got down from the broom in front of me.
「Breasts……Ah, no. You really do get skillful when the occasion calls huh, brea, Mana.」
「J, just where are you looking!」
Noticing my glance, Mana hid her chest.
Man, that’s just unfair. The mismatching breasts on that short body would move with a wobble after all.
Like when she gets down from the broom, they bounce immensely.
「Jeez, that’s terrible, Yashiro-san.」
「Sorry, sorry. ……I see, so what Henrietta said was about that.」
What she meant by unique equipment was probably the broom.
「Are you moving separately from Eri?」
Since the figure of Eri who was always with her wasn’t here, when I asked that, Mana giggled and kicked the ground several times with the tip of her toes as if she were knocking.
When she did that,
*Topun*
「Mana, you called?」
「Woah! Amazing!」
Eri appeared as if she were crawling out from Mana’s shadow.
「Yashiro, san?」
「Yo. Were you in the middle of some kind of work? Sorry about that.」
「It’s fine.」
*Koten* (Head tilt). When I apologized to Eri who had tilted her head when she saw me, Eri shook her head.
「Are you going to the school now?」
「Nope, I just came from the school. It’s great that appeared with such good timing.」
「「?」」
*Koten*. The both of them tilted their heads.
「Since I’ll be going to the next town, I wanted to give you two my salutations. Man, thank goodness I found you.」
When I was delighted at the fact that we met with such good timing, Mana made a face that looked like she would cry at any time now.
「N, no way! That’s way too sudden!」
「Yeah, sorry.」
Just as Mana said, it was way too sudden. However, since it was decided to be about two weeks from the beginning, it was inevitable.
「Have you……gone to Alicia-sama yet?」
「Hn? Ahh. Well, she seems to be busy with something after all. In the worst case, even if we don’t meet……」
We do have the communication stone after all. When I tried to continue on with that, Mana interrupted me.
「That kind of thing, you can’t do that!!」
「……Eh?」
Inside her glasses, eyes where a strong will could be felt were glaring at me. From the eyes that I didn’t think would come from the normally timid Mana and her shout that seemed to scold me, I unintentionally asked again.
「Even Alicia-sama is a girl, you know!? Isn’t it normal to at least say a single word of farewell to her!?」
「Oh? Yeah?」
I, I don’t really get it but……did I step on some kind of land mine or something?
「Even though Alicia-sama……thinks of Yashiro-san with great care, that’s just too cruel!」
「No, like I said, I’d probably get in her way so……」
「There’s no use in arguing with me!」
Maybe because she would take no excuses, Mana grabbed my hand, pulled it, and started walking.
