===Part 2=== "...Neither Shinomiya-sensei nor Mica-san have come." Sitting in the living room sofa, Lisa murmured with worry at the ceiling. "With no reception on the terminals, there's no way to confirm the situation outside..." I stood with my back against the wall, looking at my terminal that could not communicate. Deep underground of Midgard, calls could not be made here. Without cable facilities linked to the surface, we were completely isolated on the information front. "N-NIFL is invading?" Iris walked back and forth between everyone in worry. A few hours had passed since the intense shaking. After dinner, all of us had gathered in the living room. "—Perhaps. If that is true, then they won't have the leisure to visit us." Drinking black tea at the table, Firill agreed with Iris. "We knew that an inspection was coming sooner or later. There's no need to panic." Idly braiding Vritra's hair to play with, Kili spoke as though the situation did not involve her. "Conflict within the same species, how meaningless..." Vritra shrugged philosophically despite the fact that her hair was being played with. "Truly meaningless..." Tia, who had been in low spirits the whole time, nodded from her seat next to Lisa. "Should we go confirm the situation?" Clutching my clothing tightly, Ren suggested to our group. "—No, I believe it is not time for reckless action. We should watch a little longer." Sitting on a cushion, Mitsuki offered her opinion, but compared to what she said, I felt more concerned by her slightly lethargic look. "Mitsuki, are you okay?" "Oh, yes. I just feel a bit... hot. I must have spent too much time in the bath." Blushing slightly, Mitsuki replied to me. This had started ever since she returned from the hot spring yesterday. Although it seemed like she was feeling faint from the bath, I was still a bit worried whether or not this was an effect brought by the transformation. "If you feel any worse, be honest and tell us, okay? Mitsuki, you're always pushing yourself too hard." "—Nowhere as bad as you, Nii-san. However... I understand." Pouting slightly, Mitsuki nodded. Then Shion separated from Jeanne uncharacteristically and stared at Mitsuki's face. "aRe YoU reALly oKaY?" "Oh... I am fine. Thank you for worrying." Mitsuki was slightly surprised but happily touched Shion's cheek. It was possible that she saw a shadow of Shinomiya Miyako in Shion's voice and facial expressions. "...thAnK goodness." Shion smiled slightly, apparently knowing what Mitsuki had felt. Then Shion returned to Jeanne's side and sat on her lap. Jeanne watched Shion tenderly and returned to the conversation that had gone on a bit of a tangent. "—I also believe it is too early for action. We should stay vigilant for now. There are two paths into this cavern... It would be best to take turns keeping watch throughout the night." Hearing Jeanne give a practical opinion like a soldier, I nodded too. "That's right. But the ones on watch should be limited to those who are able to engage humans in combat. Jeanne and I—also Kili, can I ask you to help?" "Eh— What a pain. And it's like a steam cooker outside..." Retorting, Kili frowned overtly. "Don't be like that. Please." However, I bowed my head to her and did not give up, causing her to sigh deeply and slump her shoulders. "—Got it, okay. But you'll have to reward me later." Kili looked at me seductively and accepted the job of keeping watch. However, Lisa blushed and looked at Kili. "R-Reward—What kind of reward do you intend to exact from him!?" "That would be a secret. If you're jealous, why don't you try asking him for a reward too? We are all his mates... I will turn a blind eye if it's just something on that level." In response to Kili's joke, Lisa yelled with her face red. "Please get off your high horse! I am simply stopping you from doing inappropriate things!" "Sure sure. Do your best." Having made a move without Lisa's knowledge the night before, Kili answered in a laid back manner. "Hmm... I shall have you regret underestimating me." Kili and Lisa glared at each other. At this moment, Ariella spoke up for the first time. "If we're alternating shifts, you need one more person. I'll do it." Rising from her chair, Ariella stood between Lisa and Kili as though to stop them from staring at each other. Apparently recalling what had happened last night, Kili looked displeased. "Taking on troublesome tasks on your own initiative, how meddlesome you are. Oh well—You're even more capable than Jeanne-chan. I don't mind." Despite sarcastic words, Kili accepted Ariella as a candidate. Jeanne pretended not to care. "No wait, Ariella's dragon mark is colored. If she gets captured by NIFL in that state..." However, I was quite hesitant to endanger Ariella in her current state. "Don't worry, Mononobe-kun. It's not like we're going above ground. We're just watching near the entrances. There's not much difference in risk." Ariella evaded my worries and replied in a relaxed voice. "...I got it. But don't overdo it, okay?" Since she had a good point, I reluctantly nodded. Despite the subtle unease in my heart, it was also true that I had no one else I could ask. Judging from Ariella's combat abilities that I had witnessed a number of times, she would be capable of delaying NIFL's soldiers. "Onii-chan..." Ren tugged my sleeve, looking like she had something to say. She probably wanted me to hurry and have my discussion with Ariella. I nodded at Ren, gently stroking her head to reassure her. "Mm..." Making an expression that read "very well," Ren closed her eyes partially. According to the sequence decided through rock-paper-scissors, Ariella was next with Tia last. From what I heard from Mitsuki, the two of them had intentionally chosen the last spots. Even if they had doubts or worries, I had already decided what I must do. —The power to protect them all... and the ''reason'' to do so, that was what I wanted. Confirming my own wish that I had confirmed thanks to Ren, I firmed my determination to confront the last two girls.
