Dongdongdong---
In the living room of Shidou's house, when Katsu was listening attentively to Shidou's detailed information what happened, a knock on the door interrupted the rhythm of the two.
Katsu frowned slightly. Someone was knocking on the door at this time?
Shidou also looked at Katsu with some confusion, and it was obvious that he also found it a little strange.
"I'll go open the door." Katsu stood up and walked towards the entrance.
Crunch----
The door opened, and Katsu was stunned...
"You...you guys..." Katsu's eyes widened slightly, looking at the voices in front of him, surprised and happy.
The next moment, he felt a weight on his body, his neck was hugged tightly, and a crying voice called out in his ear: "Brother...!"
Katsu was stunned as he hugged Yoshin o who suddenly fell into his arms and hung on him. He looked at the girls in front of him who were almost all looking at him with tears in their eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say---
"Welcome back---Katsu"
… …
"So...what's going on?" Katsu was sitting on the only single sofa in Shidou's living room, holding Yoshino in his arms. He looked at the spirits opposite him and forgot to look at Shidou on his right. He looked weird: "Didn't Shidou say that you were all captured?"
Looking at Katsu's real figure in front of her, his eyes blinking freely, his mouth opening and closing to make sounds, Kotori's mood seemed to have turned upside down. If she were to go to Fraxinus to check now, her mood index would definitely be MAX---
So when faced with Katsu's question, Kotori was the first to speak up: "That's right, but then Natsumi let us go again, saying that--!"
"She said that darling saved her life, so she let us go to repay you for your favor." Before Kotori could finish her words, Miku interrupted her, causing Kotori to glare at her in dissatisfaction.
"That's right you two don't owe each other!" Kotori added immediately.
Listening to the explanations of the three people opposite him, Katsu nodded slightly, his face thoughtful. While kneading and playing with Yoshino's soft and tender cheeks in his arms, he said, "...Is that so? If so, Natsumi is quite smart... But, has she done anything to hurt you?"
The spirits shook their heads in unison.
"It felt like I fell asleep and was released when I woke up." Tohka tapped her chin with her finger and tilted her head slightly as if she was recalling her previous feelings.
"I agree. Kaguya feels the same way..."
"Me… me too." Yoshino raised her hand and spoke obediently.
Seeing that the spirits all nodded in agreement with the statement "They were released after a sleep", Katsu breathed a sigh of relief, and his original plan to teach Natsumi a lesson, after all, she was a Spirit...
This long-awaited "family meeting" with everyone present lasted from four in the morning until six in the morning.
"By the way, what day is today? Don't we have to go to school?"
"… …" When Katsu asked this question, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a moment.
"Thursday..." Shidou glanced at the date on his phone and said silently.
Looking at the collapsed expressions of the crowd, Katsu couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, now that it's not completely light, let's all go back and have some rest. And Shidou, I'll prepare breakfast for today. I think you probably didn't sleep all night."
"…Then I'll leave it to you, Katsu." Looking at this beautiful appearance, as usual, Shidou suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.
"Okay, everyone, go back and rest."
Of course, Katsu had left Shidou's house and was walking towards his own house.
Back in the bedroom, Katsu wanted to lie on the bed, but Kisara and Mana appeared and held Katsu's neck tightly and refused to let go.
Katsu exhaled slightly, feeling a little distressed knowing the two have been guarding him since his coma, he patted them on the back, and said softly: "I'm sorry, there won't be a next time, I won't leave you guys."
Mana raised her head, her face was already covered with tears, she looked pitiful and tender, and her voice was as soft: "Don't lie to me..."
"Well, I won't lie to you."
"I won't let Master get hurt again," Kisara said her faint voice filled with determination.
"Don't worry, I can't die that easily."
Under the bright moonlight outside the window, two girls hug the blond boy and drift into sleep.
The sky was turning pale, and the first ray of sunlight began to illuminate the earth.
