As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"But he's still alive, and you still have a chance, don't you?"

"...Yeah, that's right... He is still alive, thanks to you, Mio, and Schooljou-san... It's great that you can join our funeral club, you are our savior."

"Excessive praise, I'm not that--"

"No~ Xu~ modest~"

Ayase gently poked her cheek, teasing her like an older sister.

"Mio...you are really strong...very powerful. This is a fact we have seen together. Thank you."

Ayase smiled at her, and then inadvertently saw a tuft of hair outside the door. When the other party saw her looking over, he immediately shrank back cutely. After understanding in his heart, he smiled, and then he wisely turned the wheelchair and planned to leave the classroom.

"where to?"

she asked.

"Go outside for a walk."

The opponent waved.

"Shall I push you?"

She wants to get up.

"No need, I'm not that delicate. I'll come back when I'm sleeping."

Ayase turned her face to her and gave her a coquettish word before leaving. When she walked to the corridor, she saw Matsuri hiding aside. She smiled and then when she passed him, she raised her hand and slapped him on the butt.

slap~

"Yeah///~!"

Matsuri blushed and let out a sweet cry. She held her butt and subconsciously took a few steps forward into the classroom, attracting the attention of the purple-haired beauty in front of her.

"Pfft~"

Ayase left with satisfaction.

"...?"

The general looked at each other silently at this moment.

The child had been missing all day, and now he suddenly appeared inexplicably.

"Well…///"

When Matsuri found out that he was exposed, he immediately blushed and lovingly rubbed the butt that had just been slapped by Ayase. Facing the gaze of the woman in front of him, he seemed to want to burrow into the cracks of the ground. He didn't even dare to look into her eyes. That's all. Banchu remained silent and did not dare to step forward.

"Pfft~ What's wrong with you?"

After seeing the other person's appearance, she couldn't help but chuckle, tilted her head and raised her face with the back of her hand to ask a question.

"Eh? I...that...sleep, sleep///"

She didn't know if it was because her brain was overheated or something, but she casually gave an inexplicable reason.

"……what?"

The general looked confused.

sleep?Now?

Ah, it is indeed a bit late to say this, but everyone is not asleep yet.

"you are tired?"

she asked, glancing at the clock.

"No, no..."

Matsuri replied blankly.

"Haha...you...huh..."

You were amused by the other person, then pulled the chair next to you and patted it.

"Come and sit here, don't stand there, you won't feel tired."

"Yes, yes - ugh~!"

Matsuri's obedient Fukuro sat next to her, and was then poked by her.

"What's that? Do you think of me as your teacher?"

She teased with a smile.

"No, it's not...after all, Mio is...that..."

"God?"

She answered for the other person.

"Hmm...think about it, it's still rude..."

Matsuri explained softly.

"What's so rude about this? I don't care about this, and haven't you ever considered this before?"

She tilted her head and propped up her pretty face, chatting leisurely to him.

"Xiao Mio..."

Matsuri bit his lip before standing up and calling her.

"Ok?"

She responds.

"sorry!"

The other party immediately bowed to her, and the hair on her head rubbed against her clothes.

"...Stop-what's the apology?"

She quickly stopped the other party and asked in confusion.

"Because during the day, I didn't stand by Xiao Mio's side... After seeing you leave, my heart hurts. I thought about it for a while and regretted it more and more. Xiao Mio helped me so much and saved my life. I I like Xiao Mio, but...I didn't repay him properly at the critical moment, I'm sorry."

"Huh...little fool."

She blamed the other party helplessly.

"Eh?"

Matsuri was stunned for a moment.

"Who said you have to agree with me? My ideas are not 100% correct. On the contrary, I am sometimes very impulsive. At this time, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate for you to agree with me?"

She asked back, brushing her bangs.

"Xiao Mio..."

Matsuri subconsciously covered his mouth, looking surprised, as if he was surprised by her answer.

"Of course it's good for you to have your own ideas. I don't want to be the person who makes you rely on me to the extreme. This will hurt you. And I don't ask you to repay me. I just ask that you can be kind to me now or in the future." Peace, I can regain hope in living alone, and I can be happy if I reunite with my parents, that’s enough.”

She gently tucked the other person's broken hair behind his ears.

"—!"

Ji's nose felt sore and he was about to cry when she told him, so he covered his mouth, nose and eye circles with the back of his hand.

"Sacrifice, you know I - no, it's better to use 'this body'. Do you know how old this body is?"

She asked with a flash of her eyes.

"Xiao Mio...1——"

"Three digits."

She prompts.

"……one hundred--"

"More on up..."

"two hundred--"

"Up~"

She spoke again.

"Three, three hundred——!"

"I'm almost 500."

"Eh? 500...?"

But if Komio is a god, it wouldn't be surprising. Matsuri wanted to be surprised but after thinking about it, he accepted it. However, Komio looked like she was 17 or 8 years old, and if she was above, she would be about 20 years old, which is about the same as them.

"Is it an exaggeration?"

she asked.

"……(nod)"

Matsuri nodded, then felt offended and shook his head again.

"In our immortal species, those who are under 500 years old are equivalent to your current age group, maybe a little younger than your 17 or 8 years old."

"Eh? A high school student in Kami?"

Matsuri asked cutely using his own understanding.

"Pfft, so be it... I said before that I never went to school because there is no school in my hometown and I don't need to go to school."

Originally, it turned out to be like this.

"But even so, in my eyes, you, you... are still children, but... sometimes, you are much more mature than me in some aspects, not just you, but the two in my family are the same."

Those two people were referring to a certain egret and a certain fish. They were obviously only 17 or 8 years old, but sometimes they were much more mature than her.

"..."

Matsuri may have been in a trance, so he didn't pay attention to the word 'my home'.

"So...this is also one of the purposes of my coming here. I can also learn a lot from you."
