October 25th, 10:30 a.m.
"I'm back…"
Shido returned to the Yakumo house, his voice full of exhaustion.
"Welco back, Shido."
Mikoto, who had been turned into a little loli, stood in the entryway like a sweet little young wife and smiled at Shido.
"You look awful. Did sothing happen?"
Then she noticed that his complexion was not very good.
"Uu, actually…"
_____________
Ti turned back to before horoom.
When Shido walked into the classroom, he heard Ai talking with her friends about how she had been abducted by "aliens." Although he really wanted to retort, seeing that Ai was safe and sound allowed Shido to finally relax.
After chatting with his friend Tonomachi for a while, Shido planned to ask for leave after horoom and go back.
However…
"Uu?"
At that mont, a flash of light flickered outside the window. After that, Tonomachi, who was talking with Shido, suddenly turned naked, his school uniform scattering like scraps of cloth.
And so, the farce began.
No matter who Shido looked at, no matter who he spoke to, a flash of light would appear and turn them naked. Before long, cries like "Itsuka is shooting stripping beams from his eyes!" rang through the classroom.
Realizing that it was Natsumi's doing, Shido fled the classroom at top speed.
Afterward, he circled around the streets a few tis, trying to shake off Natsumi's pursuit, and finally arrived at the shrine.
"I see… but Shido should count himself lucky. Not long after Shido left, Tohka and the others woke up and started making noise about wanting to go to school too."
Mikoto glanced at Tohka, who was stuffing rice crackers into her mouth inside the house, as well as Kaguya and Yuzuru, who had snatched Kotori's candy.
If Mikoto, Reine and Kotori had not stopped those children, the problem Shido would have faced would not have been only Natsumi. There would also have been three little loli.
"Ahaha… that really would've been…"
Imagining Tohka, Kaguya, and Yuzuru coming to school too, the corners of Shido's mouth began to twitch.
"So… did you shake off Natsumi?"
Mikoto asked. Right now, the biggest problem was still Natsumi. Everything else could be dealt with sohow.
"Yeah… I think so. Otherwise, while walking around town, I'd probably already have been turned into sothing weird."
Shido nodded.
"Since Natsumi has started acting, staying here for too long isn't a solution either. If she can't find Shido, she'll definitely chase you to Shido's house or the shrine."
Mikoto thought for a mont and said:
"Perfect timing. There aren't many ingredients left in the fridge. Let's go to the supermarket together, Shido."
Because she usually went to the Itsuka house to cook, there had not been many ingredients at the shrine to begin with. And now that six lolis, Reine, and Shido were staying there, a single breakfast had already emptied the refrigerator.
"Mm, all right."
Thinking that this might make Natsumi, who would co looking for him at the shrine, miss him entirely, Shido agreed to Mikoto's suggestion.
______________
After saying goodbye to everyone, Shido and Mikoto went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for the next few days.
"The saury today looks really fresh, senpai."
At the seafood section, Shido looked at the plump pacific saury and said. Autumn was the best season to eat saury. Mikoto's house had a charcoal grill. If they lit a fire in the yard and grilled them, they could make very tasty grilled saury.
"It's the season of appetite, after all. Ah, the crabs are fat too."
Mikoto pointed at the river crabs on the other side.
"Mm? Senpai?"
Hearing their conversation, the seafood clerk looked at Shido, who was in high school, then looked at Mikoto, who looked around third grade in elentary school, and showed a confused expression.
"Ah…"
Shido looked at loli Mikoto and finally realized just how strange it sounded to call her senpai to outsiders right now.
"No helping it. Shido should just call by my na."
Mikoto said with a smile.
"Uu… then… Mi… Mikoto."
"Mm!"
Hearing Shido's embarrassed voice, Mikoto nodded happily. She felt like she had made a profit—this loli form or whatever.
[Thank you, Natsumi!]
"Then… let's buy so crabs and… ah, the phone…"
Shido scratched his cheek and was about to buy so crabs and saury to bring back. At that mont, the phone in his pocket rang.
[Shido? Where are you right now?]
"Kotori? I'm at the supermarket with Mikoto…"
[Mikoto?]
A slightly puzzled voice ca through the phone.
"No, I an I'm with Yakumo-senpai. What's wrong?"
Realizing that calling Mikoto by na in front of Kotori carried a different kind of strangeness, Shido had no choice but to correct himself.
[Anyway, don't co back right now!]
"Eh? Then what about lunch?"
Shido asked in confusion.
[Lunch doesn't matter right now. Listen to . A few minutes ago, Natsumi turned Mikoto's house into sothing that looks like an adult entertainnt shop. She even hung a sign at the entrance saying, "Various loli shrine maidens available inside. Owner: Itsuka Shido"!]
"Pffft!"
Hearing Kotori's description, Shido sprayed out his breath on the spot.
[Anyway, until Fraxinus restores everything, absolutely do not co back. Otherwise, it'll turn into a huge ss.]
In fact, mbers of the Nanko gang had just happened to co pray at the shrine, and after running into all of this, they were now declaring that they would cut Itsuka Shido down.
"I… I understand."
It seed Natsumi had indeed gone to the shrine. Even if Shido himself was not there, she had still managed to cause a huge commotion.
After hanging up, Shido explained everything that had happened at the shrine to Mikoto.
"Ahuhuhu…"
After listening to Shido, Mikoto let out a pained groan. An adult entertainnt shop appearing in the shrine—she only hoped this would not scare away the visitors.
"Sorry, Mikoto."
Thinking that he had affected the entire shrine because of himself, Shido could not help feeling guilty.
"It's okay… we can ask Chief Matsuto and the Nanko gang to spread the word that it was just a rumor."
Mikoto shook her head. Although it was troubling, no matter how one looked at it, a shrine turning into an adult entertainnt shop in the blink of an eye was too far removed from reality. It would probably be easy to treat it as a rumor. If that still did not work, there was Ratatoskr. mory processing was a little rough, but they could not let her and the shrine be socially erased.
"Then… what do we do next?"
Shido said helplessly. Right now, Natsumi was probably near the shrine, so going back was impossible.
"Uu… in that case—let's go on a date, Shido."
Mikoto thought for a mont, then showed a happy smile.

A few minutes later, the two ca to a fast food restaurant near the supermarket and planned to have lunch nearby.
"I'll go order. What do you want to eat, Mikoto?"
After the two found seats, Shido stood up and asked.
"Uu… curry rice. The taste of an adult, please!"
Mikoto raised her thumb and winked.
"Yeah, yeah. Spicy, right?"
Looking at the girl's childish behavior, Shido gave a wry smile.
"Please give one hamburger and fries set, and then…"
Arriving at the counter, Shido looked at the nu on the screen and spoke. Just as he was about to order spicy curry, he suddenly noticed a set al that was very, very suitable for the current Mikoto.
And so—he smiled wickedly. (TL:dawg what are you planning)
