"Hello. It's been a while."

A girl with white hair with blue eyes wearing a white gown speaks to Sai.

The girl speaks to him but he cannot hear her.

And he blacked out.

Day of Examination: Day 92

Pocket Mansion: Sai's Room

5:41 PM

Sai opened his eyes and realized that he was dreaming.

"It's been a while since I dreamt of something." (Sai)

"Good morning, or in this case, it should be good evening. Have you slept well?" (?????????)

The speaker was Gilgamesh in pink shirt and yellow skirt with black knee socks.

"Indeed, I have slept long and wasted time in the bed." (Sai)

"Don't say that. The Raid will be conducted in Beginner's Plain, so placing those things will be the wasted effort. And knowing this, that songstress cease the operations and make the others rest as well." (Gilgamesh)

"They just announced it during last minute operations? I wish I could complain to them for that late announcement. Helping out in the kitchen is too late. I should get up and take a bath." Sai get up in the bed and manipulated the blankets and pillows with mana to tidy them up.

Gilgamesh just stands there as if expecting something.

Sai ignored her and walks to the door. He stopped and glanced at Gilgamesh.

"Oh, and those clothes look good on you." Without waiting for her reaction, Sai exited the room.

When Sai is on his way to the bath house, he saw Yukina and Sayo. The two will also take a bath and thus:

"In that case, why don't we bathe together?" (Yukina)

"Minato-san?!" (Sayo)

"I'm fine with it, but it seems that Sayo is opposed to the idea. I will have to-" (Sai)

"N-no, I was only startled. I'm fine with it." (Sayo)

"There you have it, Sai." (Yukina)

Indeed, Sayo is only startled. She is fine with bathing together with Sai since they can just cover themselves with towels. And, she trusts Sai that he will not take advantage of them.

They arrived at the bath house.

"You two go first, I will go after you."

Yukina and Sayo agreed and went first.

When they went inside the changing room, Sayo asked Yukina.

"Minato-san, what is in your mind this time?" (Sayo)

"I just want to take a bath with Sai, that is all. But if you want a better reason, then, I want Sai to get used to my presence." (Yukina)

"Get used to your presence?" (Sayo)

"Sai has seldom contact with females, that's why he is reserved to all of us. If he gets used to females, it will slightly break his bachelor mentality. Isn't it great?" (Yukina)

"Just don't cross the line, Minato-san." Sayo said with a stern expression.

"You are saying that, but aren't you happy with this?" Yukina smiled at Sayo.

"I have no thoughts of that sort." (Sayo)

"Of that sort? I just said that you are happy with being Sai, but I didn't say anything about that topic." (Yukina)

Sayo only blushed and stared at Yukina with a scowling expression.

A few minutes later.

As expected, everything went as normal as possible. No one is fl.u.s.tered in the bath and no typical rom-com accidents occurred.

"Very refreshing." (Sai)

"Yes, my fatigue is gone." (Sayo)

"The view of the night sky from the bath is also good." (Yukina)

The three wore yukatas and started to proceed to the dining hall. Sai's yukata is a plain gray one, Yukina's yukata is violet colored with yellow flowers as design, and Sayo's yukata is dark-green one with emerald autumn leaves.

"Sai-san, Yukina-san, and Sayo-san, you just arrived in time. We have finished cooking dinner and about to serve the food." Miu who is wearing a blue yukata with ocean waves design welcomed us.

"Is that so. I will also help." (Sai)

"There's no need for that Sai-san. We can handle it." (Miu)

"Miu-chan is right. How about we sit in the dining table so that they can serve the food?" Chisato who is wearing a yellow yukata designed with pink flowers suddenly appeared on Sai's right suggested this.

"Shirasagi-san?! When did you get here?" (Sayo)

"Just now, Sayo-chan. And it seems that the three of you enjoyed the bath together. Since that is the case, this time it will be my turn." Chisato said with an amiable smile.

"We merely encountered each other on our way to bath, Shirasagi-san. So, it doesn't count." Yukina responded with a similar amiable smile.

"The two of you stop it already." Sayo decided to go between the two.

While the three are engaged in their business, Rinko was standing there and contemplating what should she do.

{Master, while the three of them are busy, take this chance to invite him to sit beside you!} (Lisara)

{Eh?!} (Rinko)

{This is no time to act embarrassed! I know you like him and that passion of yours will not lose to Origin's Master.} (Lisara)

{Can I have a chance against, Yukina-san?} (Rinko)

{Yeah, I guarantee it. As long as, you got passion, nothing is impossible for you, Master!} (Lisara)

Rinko walks towards Sai unnoticed by the three girls. She held Sai's hand and asked him in a slightly nervous soft voice.

"Sai-san, can I sit beside you?" (Rinko)

"Yes, you may." (Sai)

{Hahaha! How's that Origin?} (Lisara)

"Rinko/Shirokane-san...…" (Yukina/Sayo)

The two are surprised with Rinko's action.

(Nice timing, Rinko-chan!) (Chisato)

Taking advantage of the situation, Chisato begins her attack.

"Oh my, what a cute kitten. I wonder what it is doing in the hallway? Oh no, a puppy is about to approach it!" (Chisato)

"A kitten!" (Yukina)

"A puppy!" (Sayo)

The two were deceived by Chisato and rushed to the hallway to prevent the imaginary animals from fighting.

"Finally, the two are gone. Now then, Rinko-chan, Sai-san, shall we get ourselves a seat? Sai-san?" (Chisato)

"Is there something wrong, Sai-san?" (Rinko)

"No, pardon me. I was lost in thought. We are going to get ourselves a seat, right?" (Sai)

"Then, let's go. You too, Rinko-chan." (Chisato)

"Y-yes!" (Rinko)

{Tch! Taking advantage of my Master's action, she is the same as Origin, or even worse!} (Lisara)
