The width of the white thing on the crosswalk.

201: Username: 1
45 centimeters.

202: Username: Anonymous in Love
What about ‘ants’ that aren’t ants despite their name?

203: Username: 1
Termite.

204: Username: Anonymous in Love
Whoa~ a walking 1.

205: Username: Anonymous in Love
(……?)

206: Username: Anonymous in Love
Why is this still going?

207: Username: Anonymous in Love
I still can't believe it.

208: Username: Anonymous in Love
By the way, 1, what are you going to do now?
Are you just going to talk things over with your parents?

209: Username: 1
Yeah. I'll try a few things.

210: Username: 1
But this time, I won't ask for everyone's help.
Since I said what I said, I'll try to handle it myself.

211: Username: Anonymous in Love
Eh~ so lonely~

212: Username: Anonymous in Love
Eh~ so lonely~ (old man)

213: Username: 1
I've relied on everyone too much until now.
This time, I'll do my best on my own.

214: Username: Anonymous in Love
……I see~ At least I'll give you advice.
I'll give you advice (pressure).

215: Username: Anonymous in Love
Well, it's family after all……

216: Username: Anonymous in Love
Hmm……

217: Username: 1
Thanks.

218: Username: Anonymous in Love
If it becomes impossible, let us know.

219: Username: Anonymous in Love
Well, it'll be fine.
After all, you're someone with the same blood as us.

220: Username: Anonymous in Love
……By the way, what's the hair color of your family?

221: Username: Anonymous in Love
Maybe metallic colors?

222: Username: Anonymous in Love
Or transparent?

The brief relief from being on the usual message board didn't last long.

It's Wednesday.

Or rather, tonight. Practically Thursday (?).

“Not enough time…… (now of all times)”

At night, I mutter to myself (police, help!).

The deadline is this Sunday.

There's so much to do that my head might explode.

Making materials for my parents—I kind of know how to do that.

I just have to summarize everything so far and what's coming next.

But that's exactly why I'm despairing at the sheer amount.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Well… I've thought about it a bit…”

“Only three days left though.”

“……Yeah, that's the problem.”

“……”

“………Wait, eh?”

……Huh?

Right now, who am I talking to?

“It’s Rio☆”

“……Can you stop suddenly appearing next to me……? Didn't you go home? Uh, what about Ichigo-san?”

“Ichigo went home.”

“Eh……”

“She's fine on her own☆”

“Yeah, that's true……”

What is this? Some final boss type who can use clones?

The kind who says, ‘The one you think you defeated is my clone.'

Think about game balance (Equipment: Rainbow Head).

“Well, I've been standing and using my phone this whole time. I'm gonna get questioned by the cops☆”

“(I can't tell her that I've already been questioned twice.)”

“Oh, it already happened to you.”

” “

Scary!

Am I eventually going to be completely seen through?

“So, what are you going to do now?☆”

“……Umm, first, I guess I'll organize the household account book and receipts.”

“Why?”

“One of the things my parents were worried about was that the money I saved from my part-time job had mostly disappeared. I need this to explain it.”

“I see…… then I'll go home.”

“? Ah. Then I'll walk with you.”

“Obviously☆”

“Eh, eh? Ah, okay……”

Huh? Aren't our conversations kind of mismatched?

Also, isn't the direction she's walking weird?

My feet are going all over the place and I'm getting lost (panic).

“Rio-san, you're going the opposite way from the station (frantic).”

“I said I'm going home☆”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

“I'm saying I'm going to Toumachi's home☆”

“……Eh?”

Why?

---

In the end, Hiiragi-san, as if it were only natural, headed to my house.

She should have her own “conquered castle” (excuse me) to return to……

Could it be conquest? I won't let anyone take Kamioka Castle (super hyped).

“Man, I've been curious about Toumachi's house!”

Why are you so ridiculously excited?

Is my house seriously about to be invaded?

Will goblins suddenly spawn in the bathroom or something? Please, after you……

“Your familiy……”

“I've already told them.”

“Eh?”

“Man, I'm excited~ I wonder what I'll find☆”

“Oi, wait a sec…… (serious)”

“Hm?”

“Ah, sorry, it's nothing (small fry).”

Pitiful me, I can't say anything to her!

“You were thinking, ‘I'll do my best alone tonight,' right?”

“……You see right through me.”

“I know. It's you, Toumachi, after all.”

She said that.

I really feel like she sees through everything.

“Ah, here's my home.”

“Whoa! A tower apartment☆”

“My parents are amazing……”

From the entrance, we took the elevator up.

After all, only the Kisaragi sisters and Hatsune-san had come.

“But there’s only a little time left. You can’t stay until the last train…”

“I am staying, you know, here is my change of clothes.”

“(Cannot compute)”

“I'll borrow the shower☆”

“Se?”

“Se☆” [TL: Toumachi said just ‘ma’ stunned to finish maji = seriously]

Why is she not worried at all?

Ah, right, it's me. I understand instantly.

Haha (I'm crying).

“Well, you slept with ‘those' Kisaragi girls, right?”

“Watch your wording!”

“So noisy☆”

“Ah, sorry.”

Thinking back, this is incredible.

……Old me, are you watching……?

You'd be foaming at the mouth and collapsing.

“And you even slept in front of Shiorin, huh☆”

“How do you know……”

“You really got stuff done, huh.”

“I was just sleeping one-sidedly……”

Once all this fuss is over, I want to go camping again (faraway look).

I want to drink coffee and read with Shiorin (idiot, excuse me).

“By the way, no one's ever stayed over at my house……”

“If you can, try to attack☆”

“I won't. Not doing that.”

“……Hmm. Well, that’s fine then.”

“‘Well, that’s fine then’.…… (panick)”

While we were talking, we reached the front door.

I opened the door.

“――Eh.”

“――Ah.”

“Ara☆”

In the living room, I met her eyes—“her.”

How could I even say, why are you still here?

“……Why are you here?”

“Is it so bad that I'm here☆”

Standing up was my sister, Nina.

And Hiiragi-san laughed as she faced her.

“(Holds head in despair)”

What am I supposed to do with this!?
