			"So… You couldn't cope with it and ran away? You're such a wuss, Basacchi."

			"…..Don't be stupid."

			Basara replied totally exhausted to Takigawa's criticism.

			They were at a hamburger shop close to the state road.

			When Basara had ridden his bicycle aimlessly in a strategic retreat, he happened to encounter Takigawa by chance.

			As he had to speak him anyway, the two of them went to this shop.

			That said, Basara had only ordered a drink. Yuki's beef stew was waiting for him at home. He was already guilty of fleeing the place, so when he ate out on top of that, his life would be in danger.

			Takigawa on the other hand was munching on the fries he had ordered.

			"I feel ya, bro… As if Naruse Mio and her succubus weren't enough already, ''you also have to live together with Nonaka from now on''."

			Right. To his surprised, Yuki would live together with them from now on. She had mentioned it during her quarrel with Mio, but apparently she didn't just say it in the heat of the moment.

			Seemingly Jin also suggested that Yuki should live together with Basara and the girls during his negotiations with the elders, and the elders agreed as it was more convenient for Yuki to observe Mio from the same house and knew about her identity anyway.

			The Toujou household still had an empty room, so there was no problem with physical space. If anything, the problem would be Basara's inner peace, which faded when he imagined Yuki and Mio quarreling like earlier.

			No, the latter one was surely more pressing.

			"Well, enough about me… What about you? Everything alright? I think you told me that a troublesome fellow showed up besides the new observer."

			"Mh? Well, for now it is…"

			Takigawa said with a shrug of his shoulders.

			"She got what she came for and saw something quite interesting, so she went back to report."

			"Something interesting--- our battle?"

			On the day of the battle, Takigawa had called to tell him that he with company would observe their battle. And if Mio were to be in danger, they would interfere, killing Yuki and the others if necessary.

			Takigawa answered Basara's question with "Yeah".

			"Remember how Naruse Mio was about to eat a full-power blow from the spirit lance during the fight? Well, in the end she was fine, even if the upper part of the building was blown away."

			"Don't tell me… you had your hands in that?"

			"No. It was her own strength."

			"It was? But I don't think she could---"

			Midway in his sentence, Basara suddenly realized something.

			She could. There was just one way for her to ward off a full-power attack from "Byakko". Then,

			"---Yep. You guys haven't noticed, but Naruse herself hasn't either…. At that time, she activated the inherited power from Wilbert for just a moment."

			Takigawa said in a matter of fact tone.

			"Actually, the fellow, who watched the battle together with me, put up a barrier in front of Naruse to protect her back then. Although there was your general barrier in place, she managed to do so with her power anyway. But Naruse's graviton field barrier repelled both my fellow's barrier and the attack from the spirit lance.So she analyzed it calmly instead of getting flustered. It looks like Naruse is awakening Wilbert's power bit by bit."

			"And that's the interesting something, huh…"

			Basara said groaning, whereas Takigawa shook his head with "No".

			"Naruse's awakening was still in within her prediction. Another matter piqued her interest."

			At this point, he lowered his voice.

			"Basacchi--- You used that banishing skill once, right? She witnessed that, too, how you erased not only the already activated magic, but also the channel to the spirit. Around now, she's informing her master in the Demon Realm about Naruse and you."

			"……..I see."

			Takigawa had warned him beforehand that they would be watching--- Yet, he used "Banishing Shift" on an emotional whim and alarmed the present devil from the current Devil Lord faction.

			Realizing his mistake, Basara bit his lips. Then suddenly,

			"? Wait a sec, Takigawa… ''Who is she reporting to again''?"

			He had felt something out of place in Takigawa's words. The vast power from Wilbert that Mio inherited was sought after by the boss of the current Devil Lord faction--- The new Devil Lord that succeeded Wilbert. Or so it should be.

			Despite that, Takigawa used the restricting words "her master".

			What was the meaning of that? ---A bad feeling befell him.

			"Tell me, Takigawa… Who was that troublesome fellow that watched the battle together with you?"

			In response to Basara's question,

			"Her name is Zest… She's a retainer from Zolgear, the one that killed Naruse's parents."

			After that, Takigawa Yahiro spoke about the unavoidable future in a quiet tone.

			"Be careful--- Zolgear hasn't given up. He'll come to take Naruse."

			The chime heralded the end of the class.

			Stand up, Bow--- Usually the class representative was in charge of this routine.

			But today, the assistant class representative of class 1-B did all of it.

			Because the class representative, Nonaka Yuki was absent.

			Knowing the reason for it, Naruse Mio looked at the front most seat in her window row.

			Yuki's seat that had been vacant since this morning. Then Mio looked at Basara's back sitting in his own seat. He, like Mio, was looking at Yuki's seat.

			"-----"

			Mio quietly averted her eyes from Basara's back.

			---Mio and the others had fought against Yuki and the others three days ago, on Friday last week.

			After the fight had ended, Yuki obeyed the man called Shiba and left with the other two.

			To take responsibility for betraying her comrades in her desire to protect Basara.

			Therefore she wasn't at school today. And she most likely would never come again.

			''…After all.''

			Yesterday, Mio and the others had paid a visit to Yuki's mansion. They knew she wouldn't be there. Nevertheless, they couldn't sit tight and their legs brought them there on reflex.

			However--- They witnessed something unbelievable there. People were carrying Yuki's stuff out of her room. Moreover, they weren't moving guys, but bin men.

			They quickly asked the men and the manager of the mansion about the circumstances and they were told that Yuki had cancelled the contract for the room and asked for the disposal of her remaining stuff.

			When the gang returned home absent-minded, there was a single mail for Basara.

			It was from Yuki. But inside it wasn't a letter, but the key to the Toujou house. When the girls asked him about it, he told them that he handed Yuki a spare key before the fight. And it was returned now.

			The three of them realized then that Yuki would never come back here.

			In the not so distant future, the school would surely be informed of her dropping out.

			Seeing how quickly she moved out of the mansion, it was possible that she already got all the paperwork for it done and that they, the students, just weren't informed about it yet.

			''…Nonaka.''

			Yuki chose to do all that by her own accord.

			But, if Mio had never met Basara, if he had never decided to protect Mio--- then Yuki wouldn't have had to betray her comrades.

			And if Basara and Yuki reunited before he met Mio, then Mio might have faced Basara as an enemy as well, not just Yuki.

			That was the only difference between Mio and Yuki. Thinking about that, Mio cast her eyes down at her seat.

			"…Are you okay, Naruse-san?"

			Suddenly a considerate voice called out to her. On a look, there stood two female classmates of her right next to her seat: Aikawa Shiho and Sakaki Chika. Therefore,

			"Eh…m, what do you mean?"

			"You have been aloof the whole time today… Even now, you were spacing out."

			Aikawa gave Mio, who quickly tried to smooth it over, a wry smile. And Sakaki asked.

			"Does it have to with Toujou-kun and Nonaka-san?"

			"W- Why…?"

			"Toujou-kun is in the same state and Nonka-san is absent today."

			"Uh…"

			There had been a commotion about Yuki clinging to Basara on his first day here and since then, the others considered the three to be in an eternal triangle.

			"From you three, one is absent and the other two have a gloomy look, you know. Of course we will thing that something has happened."

			"That's… not it, really."

			Mio hemmed and hawed on their pointer.

			"Really~?" "Suspicious…"

			Aikawa and Sakaki bantering gave her a doubtful look.

			However, it wasn't harassment to find out about their relationship out of curiosity.

			They surely wanted to cheer up the depressing looking Mio.

			---Mio treated everyone at school the same.

			But since her life was targeted by the current Devil Lord faction, she had made it a principle not to make any friends in particular, so they wouldn't get dragged into anything.

			Nevertheless, she enjoyed talking or spending time with people her age and couldn't reject someone, who took the initiative to befriend her.

			Thus she usually ate lunch together with Aikawa and Sakaki and often was together with them during non-classroom lessons like physical education.

			Those two were the only ones Mio would call friends after getting into high school. Then,

			"Well… if anything does worry you, you can talk to us anytime."

			"Yeah, as trivial as it may be. You can always call me without reservation."

			Saying so, Aikawa Shiho and Sakaki Chika grinned.

			"''I mean--- We're friends!''"
