Ayumi looked at the cozy pair, a taste of dog food in her mouth. This was the greatest harm to her as a single person.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
Feeling Ayumi's gaze, Kurumi turned her head to ask, and Ayumi said awkwardly.
"Then please prepare our room."
In the end, Kurumi and You stayed at Ayumi's house. However, Ayumi seemed quite happy, as being alone at home was quite lonely and boring. Having two beautiful girls accompany her was not bad.
But her good mood ended there, because today was a clear day. Looking at the street outside, where heat waves were rising, Ayumi was now in a dilemma. If she didn't go to school today, then she would only be able to live in the dark from now on, but she still wanted to live a normal and ordinary life.
"So hot, so hot, I'm going to die."
Taking a big step, Ayumi was instantly exposed to the sun's rays. Seeing her fair and tender skin slowly turn shriveled, and feeling as if her body was on fire, Ayumi instantly screamed.
Just as Ayumi felt like she was about to be scorched, a basin of cold water suddenly sprayed down from her head.
"Saved."
Ayumi quickly ran to a shaded area while the water on her body had not yet evaporated.
"Ara~! Ayumi-san, I told you last night that you can't be exposed to the sun. Do you have masochistic tendencies? Or are you just a masochist?"
"No, I'm not."
Ayumi, still shaken, had her grateful feelings instantly destroyed by the sharp tongue.
"I just want to go to school."
"Then why don't you use a parasol? It's not strange to use a parasol in this weather. Are you really a masochist, Ayumi-san?"
Hearing Kurumi's words, Ayumi instantly froze. She had completely forgotten about the parasol, that divine item. At this moment, she could imagine two crows flying around her head, cawing 'aho'.
"Excuse me."
Taking a deep breath, she bowed to thank Kurumi, then quickly grabbed the umbrella from the entrance and ran off.
"Bully, you could have reminded me."
You, who had been drinking tea and observing their interaction from the side, clearly saw the joy on Kurumi's face. She took out a pen and wrote.
"How could I not tease such an interesting person? Life is too boring without some fun, don't you agree, You?"
Gently leaning close to You's cute face, Kurumi whispered in her ear. The warm breath dyed You's fair ear with a hint of red. As if startled by Kurumi's sudden closeness, You moved back twice.
After thinking carefully, You finally nodded, agreeing with Kurumi's statement. The innocent You was now being led down a path of pleasure by Kurumi.
"I forgot to remind Ayumi to drink more water, or she'll turn into a mummy."
"You did it on purpose."
"Yes, I did it on purpose."
Kurumi weighed the kettle in her hand and said to You, but You, who already understood the extent of a certain person's dark belly, immediately saw through her true nature. Kurumi readily admitted it.
"Then, my dear Ayumi, pray for rain today! Otherwise, you'll suffer even more."
"That umbrella."
"Yes, that umbrella. I don't know what happened yesterday, but it got one small hole after another. I don't know how long it can last."
Completely blackened, Kurumi smiled ambiguously at You.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."
Ayumi looked at the umbrella in her hand, her heart churning. Isn't this trying to kill me? How can I use this? It's full of holes.
Finally, Ayumi, relying on her willpower, ran to school, then quickly went to the restroom to splash water on her face before returning to normal.
But... Ayumi looked at her seat, for the first time hating why her seat was so close to the window. Gaia! Is this your trial for me? So Ayumi, as if going to battle, quickly pulled the curtains, but the temperature was still so hot.
"Is Ayumi alright?"
This scene was noticed by Myoko, who had been paying attention the whole time. She looked worriedly at Ayumi, who was half-dead, lie on her desk.
Here, Zeus was happily relieving stress, but the Underworld in this world and the Underworld in another world were connected. Unfortunately, Zeus, who had only watched anime and hadn't observed the situation in the Underworld, never realized that she was so close to her eldest sister.
However, on the other side of the River Styx, which was connected to this world, Hades was in a slightly better mood now. Her plan was progressing steadily, and she had already touched the edge of the Tenth Sense. This had truly cost her a lot of effort. Originally, her personality, to put it nicely, was to go with the flow, or to put it bluntly, she was quite lazy. But for her beloved sister, she was now utilizing her intelligence and comprehension to an extreme degree.
"Tell me if there's anything happy!"
Uranus, who had just entered the temple, looked at Hades, whose expression was calmer than usual, and asked with some surprise. After all, in her impression, this descendant of hers had never shown such an expression. She usually had a gloomy face, as if everyone owed her money.
She glanced lightly at her 'elder'. Hades would never share her joy with anyone except Zeus.
"It's nothing. Gaia has also been quite peaceful recently. She doesn't seem to care about the earth at all, directly letting an ungrowing child guard the earth. This is completely different from her previous behavior!"
Although the word 'child' coming from a 1.2-meter loli's mouth felt a bit incongruous, the information she revealed made Hades somewhat puzzled.
"Wasn't Gaia very quiet before?"
"How could her fiery temper be quiet? She used to constantly pick fights with me and the first God of Love every day. It was so annoying. It's rare for her to be so quiet now."
Hearing Uranus's answer, Hades's eyes narrowed. This was important news. Could it be that the other party was no longer in the God Realm? Then her plan could be implemented boldly.
"Why are you suddenly silent, you quiet one? I really don't know who will be unlucky enough to marry you."
Hearing this, Hades's face instantly darkened. This was precisely why she didn't want to chat with the other party; the other party spoke without thinking and was a chatterbox, practically infuriating her to death without consequence. Because the other party's status and combat power were higher than hers, Hades had tolerated it until now.
If it wasn't Uranus or Zeus who had said these words to Hades, the other party would have long since been drifting in some section of the Underworld River. So, Hades turned and left the area. She needed to stay far away from this chatty loli, or she would definitely be driven to death by her.
"Hey! Don't leave, Hades! I haven't told you about 'Love Strategy' yet!"
Hearing this, Hades stopped walking and immediately started running instead. It wasn't because she didn't need it, but because the other party only knew that one trick and had repeated it hundreds of times; her ears had grown calluses from listening.
"Don't run!"
