Although there was a small incident, Inaba Tsukiyo and Shiori's date proceeded smoothly.
Without the interference of Kotori's incompetent teammates, and no need to deliberately tease Shiori, the two happily enjoyed their time.
They went to see the latest movie, played at the arcade for a while, and finally had a great time at the amusement park.
Inaba Tsukiyo, who hadn't been this happy in a long time, smiled contentedly, forgetting the maturity she had developed over centuries, walking around hand-in-hand with Shiori like a Little Girl.
This day was the most relaxed day she had experienced in all the worlds. She didn't need to think about other things, nor worry about what tomorrow would bring, just playing like an ordinary person.
It was just that the people following them were a bit annoying. Although there were no signs of them coming to disturb them, every time she thought about someone following them, it felt very strange.
However, Inaba Tsukiyo had already noticed Nia and the others hiding in the corner back at the Coffee Shop.
The purpose of inviting Shiori out on a date was also to make those guys reflect properly.
Returning home in the evening, Inaba Tsukiyo expected to be ambushed by the others, but there was no trace of Nia and her group. She only saw Yoshino, wearing an apron, placing delicious dishes on the dining table.
"Yoshino?"
Inaba Tsukiyo was a bit startled. This was the first time she had seen Yoshino cook. Because of Yoshinon, Yoshino couldn't even change clothes properly for certain things.
With a gentle smile, Yoshino smiled at Inaba Tsukiyo, untied her apron, and pointed at the dishes on the table, saying, "Ah, Tsukiyo-chan, you're back. I just reheated the food for you. Come and eat."
"..."
These people wouldn't take advantage of her trust in Yoshino to drug the food, and then, while she was unconscious, do something indescribable to her, would they?
Such things had happened before. Although her constitution was no longer that of an ordinary person, Herrscher Tsukiyo would always make her pass out depending on how interesting the situation was.
These guys would tie her to the room during her unconsciousness, planning to do indescribable things to her.
If she hadn't woken up early, she probably would have fallen victim to them.
Seriously, the bad thing about this world was that she constantly had to worry if her chastity would be taken away.
They were all good girls, so why did they become strange when it came to such matters? Even Main Body Kurumi had become strange.
Previously, Main Body Kurumi made her see the shadow of Fu Hua the Great Immortal on the Shenzhou tablet, but now she made her see the shadow of Yae Sakura. It was truly terrifying.
However, Yoshino shouldn't agree to such a thing. Even if she was forced by those people, her expression wouldn't be this natural.
Thinking this, Inaba Tsukiyo also relaxed, sat down, and under Yoshino's gaze, cautiously took a bite.
"Delicious."
There was no strange taste; it was just very ordinary cuisine. One could feel that the person who made these dishes put a lot of effort into them.
After not feeling anything amiss, Inaba Tsukiyo slowly began to eat. At this moment, she didn't notice the abnormality about Yoshino.
While eating, Inaba Tsukiyo chatted with Yoshino, mainly about what she and Shiori did at the amusement park today.
As she spoke, a wave of drowsiness suddenly overcame her. No matter how hard Inaba Tsukiyo tried to dispel it, it didn't lessen at all.
"How... is this possible? Why is magic having no effect at all?"
Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't understand why magic had no effect. If it were just ordinary medicine, magic should be able to provide a healing effect.
The intense drowsiness made Inaba Tsukiyo unable to even hold her chopsticks steady. Relying on sheer willpower to stay awake, she looked at Yoshino in disbelief.
"Why?"
At this point, if Inaba Tsukiyo still didn't know what was happening, she would be too foolish.
Yoshino showed no panic at Inaba Tsukiyo's reaction, as if she had long anticipated it. She came to Inaba Tsukiyo's side and picked her up.
"I'm sorry, Tsukiyo-chan. But it's so rare for me to link my consciousness with 'myself' in this world. I want to properly see what my other half is like. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
"You... who... are you?"
She was definitely Yoshino, but she was also different from the Yoshino she knew. At least the Yoshino she knew wouldn't make her feel this way.
Oh, right, Yoshinon! She had forgotten! From the moment she came in until now, she hadn't seen any trace of Yoshinon.
Yoshinon, who was always on her left hand, was gone. Seriously, why hadn't she noticed such an obvious detail? Had today's date made her too relaxed?
Finally, unable to suppress the drowsiness, Inaba Tsukiyo fell asleep.
Yoshino (?) looked at Inaba Tsukiyo sleeping in her arms and turned to walk towards the room.
As she walked towards the room, a small figure with bunny ears flew and sat on Yoshino's (?) shoulder.
