Saving Sakurajima Mai;
Helping Asia overcome her problems;
Collaborating with the High-Class Devil, Rias;
And also creating the Mysterious Research Society at school.
Bai Li-kun, who considered his efficiency to be good, had even more plans.
For example, the promise with Chihaya Anon and others, he needed to make time to listen to MyGO's performance.
And now, Bai Li-kun, Sakurajima Mai, and Asia were leisurely strolling along the night streets.
The city at night was different from the daytime.
Because its main attraction lay in its diverse entertainment facilities.
Thanks to this, even if it wasn't large enough to be called a major city, it did attract a sufficient number of tourists.
Under this premise, amusement parks and large shopping malls holding night events and offering significant discounts were often overcrowded.
Bai Li-kun felt the body warmth from both of his arms, and being sandwiched in the middle, he asked the girls beside him.
"Where do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai, who was on his left, began to recall.
"We've been active in various places these past few days... The abandoned park before, the deserted underground parking lot, the dense forest behind the shrine, all were very interesting."
These places Sakurajima Mai mentioned were not tourist attractions.
They were all training grounds that had been cleared once.
Since embarking on their Fate, Sakurajima Mai and Asia, who had acquired skills, were thinking about how to become stronger.
Among them, physical training and hunting evil spirits were their compulsory courses.
There was no other way; if they wanted to perfectly utilize Imaginary Energy, their bodies also needed to be strong enough.
"And also, Big Sister Mai, yesterday we went to an apartment building, and at night we found an amusement park that hadn't opened yet, and purified many evil spirits."
Asia also began to recall... Bai Li-kun did not speak immediately.
He just inwardly grumbled that the girls seemed to be too eager to improve recently.
"It's time to get some good rest. Let's go home early today and not hunt evil spirits."
"This..."
Sakurajima Mai thought for a moment.
She met Asia's gaze and finally nodded in agreement.
"En, we'll listen to Bai Li-kun."
"Me, me too! I'll listen to Bai Li-kun!"
Since everyone agreed, Bai Li-kun bought some snacks on the way and took the girls home.
After changing shoes in the entryway and taking off his jacket, Bai Li-kun walked into the living room. As he turned on the TV, he asked the two girls who had, for some reason, run into the washroom together.
"Who's taking a bath first, or..."
"We are!"
Before Bai Li-kun could finish speaking, Mai's voice came out.
The two of them had indeed bathed together before, and even changed each other's hairstyles and braided their hair.
Their ability to get along well was a good thing for Bai Li-kun.
At least he didn't have to worry about the so-called 'shuraba' (a scene of carnage or fierce fighting).
"Bai Li-kun, please wait outside this time!"
"Please wait a moment."
After Mai and Asia each left a message, they ran directly to the bathroom.
[News! News! An explosion occurred today. Investigations revealed it was caused by a gas leak, with a total of eighteen casualties reported so far.]
Hearing the news broadcast at this moment, Bai Li-kun didn't think much of it.
He instead sat on the sofa and looked at the TV.
"This city can't possibly turn into a nuclear-powered Fuyuki City, can it?"
After grumbling, he switched to a new channel.
[According to our station's investigation, field reporter Nishizawa's report has been confirmed. The beast he saw that night is a new species! It seems like a creation of a devil! So what is the truth? Tune in to our station! We'll take you to investigate!]
The next news report also began to cover some supernatural events.
This topic might be very popular recently.
Or perhaps they really did capture something on camera.
A bored Bai Li-kun continued to watch TV until a deliberately emitted cough came from behind him.
He turned around.
Before he could speak, his movements stopped.
Under the warm-toned lighting of the living room, two girls stood at the top of the stairs, blushing.
Among them, Sakurajima Mai was covering... covering the parts that should have been hidden by a bunny girl outfit.
"How... how is it, Bai Li-kun?"
She was dressed as a reverse bunny girl.
Bai Li immediately replied,
"It's very beautiful."
Or rather, it suited her well?
But there was still one thing he was curious about.
"Why is Asia wearing a nun's habit...?"
"Because Mai-senpai said it was too embarrassing to cosplay alone, so she made me wear it. I was originally a nun... no, after I separated from the priest, I guess I'm not anymore? Now... maybe it's cosplay? I don't really understand..."
Asia's face turned red as she fretted, looking very cute.
Reverse bunny girl + nun.
Bai Li didn't hesitate at all.
He turned off the TV, jumped over the back of the sofa, and walked over to the girls.
Bai Li took both of their hands and walked towards the second floor.
People need rest.
Sakurajima Mai and Asia were no exception.
However, a balance of work and rest was the most perfect way of life.
It was all about the balance between activity and rest.
Tense nerves needed to relax;
A relaxed body needed to be tensed.
Only then could one achieve the most perfect state.
Bai Li would teach them this point well.
