Nothing unusual happened at school that day.
We attended class as usual, ate lunch as usual, and went through the afternoon lessons as usual.
Since we had P.E. today, I thought I might encounter a monster and stayed on guard, but nothing happened. It wasn't uncommon, though—about once a month during P.E., a monster would appear, clinging to the school gate and watching us.
But today, there was nothing at all.
It was a perfectly peaceful day.
Normally, after school, I'd stick around to practice magic or visit Nina-chan's house, but today we headed straight home.
After all, Nina-chan was staying over at my place, so there was no need to hang out at school—we could just play at home.
As we walked home together, Nina-chan suddenly struck up a conversation.
"Hey, Itsuki."
"Hm? What's up?"
"How often do you run into monsters?"
"Probably about once a week, on average."
