The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Fool!"

Okita Souji complained.

"If you're injured, stop laughing so exaggeratedly!"

"understood!"

"..."

"..."

Simple yet ambiguous concern, Souji Okita and Ian looked at each other at that moment.

But this time, neither he nor she had any reason to escape.

"Okita—"

"Saisan——"

"Things that were not completed before..."

"Isn't it time to make up for it now?"

The two of them continued to express their feelings to each other.

The lips were gradually becoming softer and the words were getting closer.

puff--

A cherry blossom falls in winter.

But spring is quietly blooming in the shrine at this moment.

"Sai San, you are not allowed to look down on me from now on."

"I should be the one saying this..."

You and Okita Souji completed the vow that was not completed in the rain at the winter shrine.

【This is the moment to take your relationship to the next level. 】

[You know, now I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders.]

[You really are the incarnation of a bear, right?]

【That's why it has such a terrifying recovery ability.】

[After staying at the shrine for another half month, your injuries have almost recovered.]

After bidding farewell to the shrine's head maiden, you all headed towards Kondo Shusuke's residence.

[Some things need to be made clear to Kondo Isami.]

In front of the Kondo family residence.

"Xiaoyong, we are back——"

Following the familiar voice, Kondo Isami, who was cleaning the door, raised his head.

The moment I saw Okita Souji and Ian...

There was a snap.

The broom in Kondo Isami's hand fell to the ground.

"Okita! Toshizo! You guys are finally back?!"

"Really!"

Kondo Isami rushed over and hugged both of them.

"It's been almost a month!"

"..."

"..."

Ian and Souji Okita looked at Kondo Isami in front of them with helpless expressions.

Yes.

Although she looks fierce in daily life, she is actually the kind of person who feels extremely lonely when her friends are not around.

Both Ian and Souji Okita are fully aware of this.

"Xiaoyong, this is what happened."

Ten minutes later.

Ian told Kondo Isami his experiences during this period almost verbatim - he knew that in order to save his own face, Okita Hikaru would hardly mention these things.

but……

As a good friend of herself and Okita Souji, she naturally had reason to know all this.

"Eh……"

Kondo Isami blinked.

"So you guys were exorcising a ghost that day—why didn't you tell me?"

“Because you won’t know until you get there.”

Okita Souji answered his friend's doubts.

"In fact... we almost missed such an opportunity. The head priestess of that shrine almost died that night."

"..."

"This……"

Kondo Isami's expression became tense.

"Is the other party so powerful?"

"Really." Ian nodded.

"To be honest, Xiaoyong, if it weren't for that Ugly Gozen's mercy, Okita and I would probably not be able to stand in front of you like this."

"..."

Kondo Isami glanced at Ian, then at Okita Souji.

She knew that there was absolutely no reason for either of them to deceive herself.

only--

In this way, the girl also had things of her own that she cared about.

"Since Okita's sister is here too..."

"Yes, Xiaoyong, you are right!"

Souji Okita smiled brightly, then held Ian's hand tightly, looking very happy.

"elder sister!"

"Agree with what's going on between me and Saisan!"

"..."

For a moment, shock and sadness appeared on Kondo Isami's face, but soon, these emotions turned into an expression of acceptance in a very short time.

"I see! That's great!"

"Okita, your wish has come true!"

"Yes, yes..."

Souji Okita felt a little embarrassed, and even let go of the hand he had just held.

"Let's go in first - I haven't been here for a long time, I've almost forgotten what it looks like."

"Ah."

With Kondo Isami's permission, Okita Souji was the first to rush in, looking shy.

Kondo Isami and Ian walked behind.

After confirming that Okita Souji in front of her couldn't hear what she said, she asked in a low voice:

"I said……"

"You probably didn't confess to Okita about what happened that night?"

"..."

"Look at your expression, it's gone."

Kondo Isami breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason he looked a little emotional.

"I warn you, never tell anyone about that in your life—"

"I don't want to become some weird existence... Just pretend it never happened, okay?"

"..."

Before Ian could respond to this request, Kondo Isami had already walked forward on his own and came to the side of Okita Souji.

"This way——"

"Master has been repairing the house during the month you were away."

"Eh, really?"

"..."

Looking at the backs of the two people, Ian didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's it.

Perhaps Kondo Isami's request is the best case scenario.

At least--

Let's do what she says first?

[Under Kondo Isami's guidance, you all head deeper into the mansion.]

[Just as she said, during the month you were away, Kondo Shusuke did indeed renovate the mansion.]

[Apart from anything else, the gaps through which light originally flowed have now been completely blocked by this man with slightly graying hair.]

[You realize that Kondo Shusuke's mentality seems to have changed a bit.]

"This……"

Looking at the environment around him that had changed a lot, Ian's expression became a little complicated.

"Master, why do you suddenly want to do this?"

"You haven't mentioned this before, have you?"

"I don't know either..."

Kondo Isami shook his head, looking somewhat helpless.

"He didn't tell me anything, he just had this idea one day."

"Did you suddenly have this idea one day?"

Souji Okita came to a pillar, reached out her hand and gently stroked its surface.

"Something is painted..."

"Master, you are really repairing it with all your heart."

"Yes." Kondo Isami nodded.

"He's been busy with this for the past month. Often, he starts in the morning and doesn't stop until the evening."

"This……"

The three of them looked at each other, obviously having no idea what this matter was.

"Master, could it be that he has been stimulated by something?"

Okita Souji couldn't help but ask.
