Today is the end of the two-day, one-night hot spring trip.
In fact, the itinerary of coming yesterday and going back today is a bit rushed. If there was enough time, a three-day, two-night trip would be much better, but who made Asakura and the others still students, and the school only has weekends off recently?
Leaving aside Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was suspecting her life over there due to a hangover, 'Huh? Where's my vacation? Where did my two-day, one-night vacation go?!', Asakura slightly sorted out the current situation and found that at least from his perspective, this hot spring trip's training camp was quite good.
First of all, the basic goal, that is, Lemon Yakishio-san's confession request at the beginning, although it was not as perfect as the previous loop because Asakura himself was not present this loop, it was finally achieved with the lovers getting married, which can be considered a successful achievement.
It is said that 70% of high school couples break up within a year, and after graduation, this data will rise to 90%.
I don't know what will happen to this young couple in the future, but this is not something that Asakura and the others need to worry about.
In addition, another goal of the training camp was to train the Magic abilities of the Chiba Magic Society (inner circle) members.
Leaving aside Gokou Ruri, who was making rapid progress, the main target was of course the remaining one.
Yuigahama Yui does not possess Magic, but has only made a contract with the Golem. However, before the training camp, her control over the Golem was quite average. In most cases, she would issue a vague command and let the Golem's own artificial intelligence-like thing decide how to achieve the command.
Originally, Asakura planned to have her do autonomous training while soaking in the hot spring, such as manually controlling the Golem snake to clean up all the fallen leaves in the hot spring pool while disabling AI.
However, due to various reasons, this plan was eventually shelved.
As a result, in order to catch fireflies, Yuigahama Yui self-taught manual control of the Golem snake. Not only that, but she also learned the ability to share senses with the Golem (in the previous loop, she used this ability to discover Asagumo Chihaya, who was attacking the confession site).
From the results, it can only be said to be delightful.
Of course, these words cannot be said to Yuigahama Yui herself casually. After spending these two days together, Asakura roughly understood what kind of personality the girl had.
To put it nicely, she's an invasive and familiar person; to put it bluntly, she's the type who easily climbs up the pole after being given a little bit of encouragement. As long as you are a little gentle with her and praise her a few times, she will inexplicably become attached to you.
"Asakura-kun, Asakura-kun, Asakura-kun!" Just like now, the girl ran over like a happy puppy.
"Shut up, you're hurting my eyes."
"Actually..."
"Give up."
"I haven't said anything yet?!"
"Give up gracefully."
"Clearly, 'gracefully' isn't a derogatory term, but it inexplicably makes people angry..."
"The hat suits you."
"Right, right, I also think this hat is very beautiful, after all, Yukino's taste is very high~ No, that's not the point!"
The girl said, taking off her hat, "It's this, this!"
On the girl's pink head, there was now a pair of fluffy ears, and unlike Yukino's at that time, Yuigahama's cat ears were more slender. Compared to the traditional perception of cat ears, it felt more like fox ears, and it looked like the texture would be better, but it was subtly contrasting with the soft and cute appearance of mochi girl.
"Asakura-kun, what do you think?"
"It doesn't match very well, I feel like bunny ears would be better." Asakura sincerely suggested.
"I'm not asking what kind of ears are better!" The girl said angrily.
"You're not Yukino, you don't need to worry about this, right." Asakura said dismissively.
Yukinoshita Yukino did not know that the cat ears were from Gokou's Magic, but Yuigahama Yui knew a little, and naturally understood that the ears were just something Gokou did casually, and Gokou was a good child who understood the bigger picture, so there was no need to worry at all.
"That's what I said, but it always feels so strange. My voice is different from usual, and it feels a little itchy..." Yuigahama Yui said with a tearful face.
So those ears really worked? Was it four-channel?
"Didn't you go find Gokou and ask her to lift the Magic for you?"
"Of course I did, but I don't know why Gokou seemed to be in a very bad mood today. Her gaze made me shiver..."
"You're overthinking it. Gokou is a good child. She's not as scary as you say," Asakura waved his hand.
"Asakura-kun, you have too deep a filter for Gokou. That child is very... when she's not in front of you."
"What about me?" Suddenly, Gokou's voice rang out abruptly, startling Yuigahama Yui into a shiver.
"But, but she's very honest and cute, a flawless junior!" Yuigahama Yui immediately said.
"Thank you for the compliment, mochi-senpai," Gokou showed a sweet smile.
"Hiss, can you lift the Magic?"
"The Magic has gone wild. Please be a cat girl for life, mochi-senpai."
"At least the tail, not the tail!"
It seemed that at some point, Gokou's ecological niche in the club had already surpassed Yuigahama Yui's.
Asakura was not too worried about the situation between Gokou and Yuigahama Yui. He knew very well that these two were just playing, and their relationship was usually quite good.
After all, besides Asakura, they were the only two known Witches (Asakura had not yet announced Asagumo Chihaya's matter), and they had a deep sense of companionship with each other.
On the other side.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who had already returned to normal, sat far away watching this scene. Although she couldn't hear Asakura and their conversation, Yuigahama Yui had run to her that morning with a tearful face to borrow a hat, so the girl also knew what had happened.
Ever since last night by the lake, watching the usually silly Yuigahama Yui make the Golem Snake release fireflies, that magnificent scene, as if controlling the entire Milky Way, left an unforgettable deep impression on Yukinoshita Yukino.
The more one knows the truth of the world, the more one feels the barrier between that side and the world one is in.
Just like yearning is the farthest distance in the world.
At the moment the pair of cat ears on her head disappeared, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have lost the last anchor point with that world.
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino, who always strived to climb to the peak and look down on others, thinking that those who could not reach the mountain top were just not working hard enough, finally experienced firsthand the sorrow of ordinary people without talent.
