However, she quickly turned her face away and said solemnly with her back to me, "If you want to know more, you can tell me directly. I'm happy to share further with qualified people."
"What further sharing?"
Suddenly, a melodious voice, like that of a lark, rang out from behind me.
"that is……"
Miyuki instinctively wanted to answer, but suddenly jumped away from my side, warily gripped the hilt of her sword, and assumed a ready-to-attack stance, looking this way.
But no attack came.
Her pupils dilated in surprise for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She even withdrew her aggressive stance, coughed lightly, and turned her face away.

"Mr. Yumi!" Hikari pressed her forehead against mine, her cheeks puffed out in anger, and raised her voice, "How could you leave me behind like this?!"
