However, the two of them clearly didn't care about such things.
Instead, Kato Megumi, sitting behind Rosen, couldn't help but become curious.
"I don't know when it started, but Rosen-kun has actually become so popular... And they're all girls from other classes."
"Could it be that he has qualities I haven't discovered yet?"
Kato Megumi didn't dwell on this matter.
Rosen-kun probably hid something.
But, if he truly considered her a friend, he definitely wouldn't keep it from her forever.
I just need to wait and see… right?
Although Kato Megumi was very concerned about the changes in Rosen, her personality prevented her from having proactive initiative.
This was also a problem Rosen had told her about in the past.
However, wanting to change is not that simple...
Kato Megumi was rarely troubled.
...
Rooftop.
Yurikawa Hana stood with her hands behind her back, looking outside the school, "Lord Rosen, where are we planning to go today?"
"I won't be accompanying you today."
"You occasionally need to learn to be independent, after all, I can't always be by your side, so you can go anywhere you want after school, just remember that safety comes first."
Godspeed could get him to any place he wanted in the first instant.
So even if danger arose, he could be there instantly.
Of course, he also knew that mere lone ghosts and spirits couldn't harm these girls who had become divine envoys.
"How have you been doing lately?"
Rosen turned to look at the quiet beautiful girl beside him.
The first time he met this slightly older upperclassman was right here.
But at that time, she was self-destructing due to "Adolescence Syndrome."
Because of the sexy Bunny Girl (crossed out)... Rosen's strong sense of justice, he helped the Bunny Girl upperclassman temporarily escape the fate of being forgotten by the world.
Under the sunlight, the girl's black hair covered half of her profile.
Those beautiful eyes held a mix of hesitation and uncertainty.
But then she thought, since she was Rosen's Dependents, it was impossible to hide anything from him, so she simply confessed her troubles.
The reason was that during this period, Sakurajima Mai's unusually frequent outings had attracted her mother's attention.
In addition, the first time he sent her home, Sakurajima Mai's mother, who was hiding in the bedroom, caught them red-handed.
Although she didn't choose to question them that night, during the weekend night, her mother had a heart-to-heart talk with her.
However, just like when most parents talk to their adolescent children, Sakurajima Mai and her mother also ended up "arguing."
Her mother hoped she would stay away from Rosen, as rumors would be bad for her.
However, the girl, who had already become a Dependents, could never leave Rosen in this life, and she understood between the lines that her mother regarded Rosen as the type of boy who was "lustful at first sight," so she naturally had a big argument with her mother out of anger.
This time, she even brought luggage, preparing to spend the night outside.
"Eh? This... so that's how it is..."
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana shrunk their heads beside them.
Although they were all in adolescence, the former, due to her father's death, cherished time with her family more, while the latter was completely a "child from another family," a well-behaved baby in her parents' eyes, apart from being a big eater.
They didn't expect that even a big star would have such complicated family matters.
Looking at Sakurajima Mai, who seemed to still be angry, Rosen said helplessly, "Actually, your mother's actions are not without reason. If it were me, I would also be wary of a strange man who arbitrarily associates with my daughter."
"Because her life experience is richer than yours, she doesn't want you to be deceived... After all, even if you take away the title of a big star, you are still a beautiful and sexy Bunny Girl upperclassman."
"Ugh..."
Being teased again made Sakurajima Mai cross her arms in dissatisfaction, but her face was a little flushed, clearly showing that she was genuinely shy.
"How about this, let your mother come and meet me, I will dispel her concerns."
After all, they were the family of his cute Dependents, and as a higher deity, he couldn't stand idly by.
"No, at least... not today, I'll inform her tomorrow."
Sakurajima Mai was not an unreasonable person.
And after hearing that Rosen was willing to meet her mother, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
·······
After all, if Rosen was dissatisfied with her mother and made her leave that home, what should she do?
After all, there were only her and her mother in that house now.
The reason for informing her tomorrow was also her small act of rebellion against her mother.
"Then you can stay at my place tonight."
"Eh eh eh?!" X2.
The two voices in unison from behind were the shocked Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
They also wanted to live with Lord Rosen...
At the same time.
In a deep mountain in the suburbs of the city.
The mountains were covered with trees, their bark full of fine cracks, and dark red resin seeped out, like dried bloodstains.
.... ....
A faint whimper lingered in the air, indistinguishable from the sound of the wind or the low cries of some living creatures.
This was a long-abandoned mountain forest.
And on one of the peaks, there was a long-abandoned shrine.
The shrine enshrined a Fox Spirit wearing a fox mask.
The surroundings were noisy, the offering box was already covered with moss and signs of decay, clearly indicating that it was rarely visited.
But today, a special guest arrived.
According to the information provided by the butler, Zhoufang Yanqing sent someone to this shrine to pray for divine protection for his granddaughter, Zhoufang Youxi, who had been attacked.
This servant carried a photo of Zhoufang Youxi.
Following the normal way of praying to the gods, after expressing the wish for the gods to protect the Suo Fang family's young lady, he threw in several stacks of ten-thousand-yen bills.
The money steadily entered the offering box.
Just then, a gentle breeze quietly blew through the originally calm shrine.
The servant, who was about to leave, seemed to hear a faint call of "contract accomplished."
Subconsciously feeling that the place was unclean, he quickened his pace down the mountain, and finally drove straight to the Suo Fang family's residence.
Next time, even if the master gave him more wages, he wouldn't want to come.
Unbeknownst to him.
After he left, two figures of girls wearing red and white miko outfits and white fox masks suddenly appeared in the empty shrine.
They gazed in the direction where the vehicle had departed, all the way... extending to the girl who had not yet finished school.
