Prologue
When there was just a week left of summer vacation.
Our long trip through the Netherworld finished…. And we returned at last to the human world.
Nevertheless.
Properly speaking, despite the fact that it wouldn’t be weird that our spirits reached the max in an instant, facing reality, I honestly wasn’t happy.
… Why is it?
Let’s try bringing up one of the causes.
Right now, in my home… Zonmi, Kyouko, Iris,and Lilith-san, those four beauties were staying here.
Why are they living at my house as if it was just natural?… I truly can't make heads or tails out of it.
Leaving Zonmi aside, who was originally already freeloading, about the other three it's truly a mystery.
When I tried asking each one for their reasons…
Iris:
‘… Dostn’t forget. Monster tamer. Art not thou the one who, not long after now, shall become my spouse? Is it so farfetched for two people that shall soon exchange vows to live together?’
Lilith-san:
‘Chiharu-sama. Have you forgotten your position? Aren’t you someone important, and able (capable) to influence the destiny of the world from now on? What do you intend to do if there’s no one to guard you?’
Kyouko:
‘M-me staying here doesn’t have any weird meaning, OK? Just, I mean… Isn't everyone staying at your house, Haru? So… If I’m the only one who doesn’t stay here, won’t the balance crumble…?’
Hearing each one making their own excuse, I got this kind of feeling.
So many people packed into the usually noisy Kusumi residence.
Somehow… I thought that our boisterous days would continue, but things didn’t go by so easy.
The reason was that the one who until now was the noisiest, Manami… Had become very depressed from Zonmi’s confession.
Very unlike her.
Ever since we came back, my sister Manami had completely holed herself in her room.
By the way, ↑ this happens to be the second of the causes of me being in low spirits.
Since my sister wouldn't recover her usual mood, I can’t be honestly happy for returning to the human world.
“Hey, Manami. Why don’t you go out?”
“…”
Today once again, I… Though I knocked on my sister’s room, as usual there was no reply from her.
“… Just the breakfast, I’ll leave it here.”
When this morning, like always, I had left the breakfast before my sister’s room’s door.
In fact, it has been three years… I met with that person once again.
“W-what the heck!?”
*SHATTER SHATTER*
Suddenly, my home’s windows' glasses shatter and a woman comes from the outside.
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaah!?”
The house… The house’s on fire!?
The reason may be the bird monster with a body of flames that woman is riding.
In the game world… This guy is what they call an Immortal bird[1], isn’t it?
That monster, among the ones I’ve encountered up till now, seemed to possess a magic power of the highest class.

- ↑ aka Phoenix; why "immortal bird"? He called it 不死鳥 (fushichou) instead of フェニックス(FENIKKUSU), which would be “phoenix”; also, Kanae is known as 不死の魔物使い (Immortal Tamer, or Tamer of the Immortal).
