"Speaking of age!"
"The youngest among us should be Little Tsukiyo, right!"
"Little Tsukiyo is the one who's actually only twelve!"
"Tsukiyo?"
Tamaba Satori tilted her head to the side.
Hearing that name.
Tsubaki was slightly taken aback, remembering something, and subconsciously glanced around the spacious bath.
Hestia, Kirukiru Amou, Rin, Hanazake Warabi, Tamaba Satori, Kikakujuo Mary.
Only...
Inaba Tsukiyo was not there.
"Eh?"
"Where is that blind young girl?"
"It seems I haven't seen her since we came in?"
"Is she still outside?"
Tsubaki turned to look at the hazy frosted glass door of the bathroom.
...
Meanwhile.
Inside the hall separated by a single wall.
The atmosphere here was completely different from the noise inside the bath; it was so quiet that only the rustling of wind through the leaves could be heard.
Soft light spilled onto the honey-colored wooden floor.
Heimdall sat by the newly purchased Obsidian Round Table, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, the aroma of tea curling upwards.
As for.
Opposite Heimdall.
Inaba Tsukiyo sat there properly.
The long sword named "white egret" was placed solemnly by her side, her hands folded neatly on her knees.
Her blind eyes were slightly lowered, as if she were listening to something.
"Lord God."
Tsukiyo's voice was very soft.
"You kept me here alone..."
"Is there something you wish to command?"
"Tsukiyo."
"When we left that tavern."
"Did you notice anything?"
"..."
Hearing this question.
Inaba Tsukiyo's originally calm expression faltered slightly.
Her pair of delicate ears twitched almost subconsciously.
Then.
She pursed her thin, pale pink lips and nodded.
"Yes."
"But Tsukiyo cannot be certain..."
"Only at the moment of leaving the tavern, and at several intersections afterwards."
"Tsukiyo did indeed hear a trace of... a sound that did not belong to the bustle of the street."
Speaking of this.
Inaba Tsukiyo tilted her head slightly, as if recalling that fleeting sensation.
Then her brows furrowed slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"However..."
"That feeling was too fast."
"After that instant, that presence completely disappeared. Even with full perception, no abnormal heartbeat or breathing could be heard."
"So at the time, Tsukiyo thought..."
"Thought that the other party had already left."
"Lord God..."
"Could it be..."
