-1153- What do you mean by that

During the Harurouin Festival, undoubtedly the liveliest place is the West District.

Because the West District not only has many upscale residential streets but also commercial streets, even shopping centers like the Tethys Mall are located in the West District.

Naturally, during the island-wide celebration, the West District has become the liveliest area on Itogami Island, with continuous streams of tourists. Many shops are offering discounts and promotions, and the streets are filled with beautiful girls handing out flyers, creating a gorgeous scenery that is a major attraction for tourists.

Rozen came here.

"Why did you come here, senpai?"

Yukina, carrying her guitar case, asked incredulously.

"To keep an appointment."

Rozen replied extremely simply, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

After all...

"You're getting natural with following me around like this."

Rozen sighed.

"Because I'm your monitor."

Yukina replied matter-of-factly.

When Rozen left, Yukina almost simultaneously followed him out, so Rozen just caught the elevator, descended a floor, and when the elevator door opened, Yukina walked in from outside and came out with Rozen.

Presumably, Yukina used her shikigami to see Rozen leave, which is why she followed him so promptly, right?

"Aren't you going to the airport with Nagisa and the others?"

Rozen walked into the plaza of the Tethys Mall shopping center, asking Yukina beside him.

Today is the time for the Akatsuki siblings' childhood friend to arrive on the island. Nagisa prepared early in the morning and planned to take Nagisa and Avrora to the airport to pick them up, which is why it was so lively in the morning.

Even Kojou, who rarely gets up early, got up early and dressed up, being teased by Nagisa for a long time.

Later, Nagisa also invited Rozen to go with her to the airport, but Rozen refused.

Originally, Rozen thought it wouldn't hurt to go along for fun, but after what happened this morning, Rozen naturally couldn't go there carelessly, so he declined Nagisa's invitation, leaving home alone, which made the girls, including Nagisa, unhappy for a long time.

And if Rozen remembers correctly, Nagisa also invited Yukina.

Ever since Nagisa found out that Yukina lived downstairs from the Minamiya family, Nagisa seems to have been frequenting her place, and the relationship between Nagisa and Yukina has been improving by leaps and bounds, unexpectedly good enough to surprise Rozen, even Avrora seems to be less resistant to Yukina than before, showing an accepting attitude towards her.

Therefore, in the evening, Nagisa, Avrora, and Kanon often go downstairs to Yukina's room to gather, holding pajama parties or girls' gatherings and the like. Even Astarte is occasionally brought along, confirming the old saying that the relationships between girls can become very good for no apparent reason, or very bad for no apparent reason.

These girls are the former, and their relationship has now reached the point where they can directly address each other by their first name.

So, it's normal for Nagisa to invite Yukina to pick them up.

However, Yukina didn't go.

"I still have the task of monitoring senpai. Since senpai can't go, I have no reason to go too." Yukina said very seriously in a low voice. "And, since this morning, senpai's expression has changed compared to before, seeming much more serious, which made me quite concerned."

Obviously, Yukina noticed Rozen's psychological changes and sensed that something had happened.

This girl is still as keenly insightful as ever, truly worthy of being the Sword Shaman of the Lion King Agency, possessing extremely excellent priestess qualifications.

"Is it that obvious?"

Rozen touched his face.

"Yes, very obvious."

Yukina said very confidently.

"Alright." Rozen smiled wryly. "Then come with me, Himeragi."

"Yes." Yukina's expression became somewhat brighter, as if she had been waiting for Rozen to say that for a long time, and followed Rozen's footsteps.

So, the two of them entered the Tethys Mall and came to the plaza of the shopping center.

This is where Rozen and Yukina first met La Folia.

Rozen came here naturally for an appointment.

To meet that person who said, "Let's meet at the usual place."

Here, the person Rozen anticipated appeared.

"I knew you would know it was this place."

The elegant and noble laughter of a girl rang out.

In this place, a conspicuous figure was waiting. Dressed in ceremonial attire, with prominent silver hair tied up and covered by a cap, wearing sunglasses to obscure her exceptional appearance, but unable to hide her exceptional demeanor and presence, attracting the attention of many tourists.

At this moment, this girl was smiling at Rozen and Yukina, her smile as elegant as ever, but with a hint of pride.

"How about this? This way, I won't attract attention like last time, right?" The princess of Aldegyr was quite pleased with herself for this level of accomplishment.

"Is that La Folia?" Yukina finally realized and showed a surprised expression.

On the other hand, Rozen had a somewhat expected look. "I knew it was you, the only one who would use that teasing or playful tone in emails and have the means to find my phone number is you." Rozen shook his head helplessly.

But here, La Folia wasn't the only one.

"Ah, so you still showed up...."

A somewhat disdainful voice came from behind Rozen and Yukina, causing them to turn around and look.

The next moment, Rozen and Yukina saw her. Just like Yukina, a beautiful girl with a music box on her back, holding an ice cream in one hand, standing in the crowd, sighing.

Apart from Sayaka, who else could it be?

"Sayaka?" Yukina blinked.

"Yukina!" Sayaka's face lit up with a bright smile, like a face-changing performer, approaching them. This girl only had such a cheerful smile when facing Yukina. And...

"Why does it feel like you two have been hanging out together a lot lately? Isn't the irritable girl over there Vatler's monitor?" Rozen raised his eyebrows and said so.

Since the luxurious cruise party, Sayaka seemed to have been following La Folia all the time, even when they went to the hospital to see Kanon last time, Sayaka was following behind La Folia, indicating how high the frequency of the two being together was now.

Of course, there was a reason for this. "Ardeal ambassador from the Warlord Dominion has become a permanent resident ambassador at the embassy established by the Warlord Dominion in the Demon Sanctuary. He is no longer a visitor, so the Lion King Agency naturally cannot arrange an observer by his side anymore, otherwise it would affect international affairs."

La Folia explained the reason behind this. "On the contrary, I came to Itogami Island incognito. No one knew before, but after Kanon's incident was exposed, I was also exposed. The Lion King Agency then arranged guards around me to prevent another attack on a foreign princess on their territory. Responsibility cannot be escaped if it is pursued."

In other words, Sayaka was no longer Vatler's observer, but La Folia's protector?

"So you sent her to buy ice cream?"

Rozen looked at Sayaka, who looked somewhat ridiculous with ice cream in both hands, and then gave La Folia a thumbs up.

"Good job." Rozen praised without hesitation.

"Hm Hm." La Folia also smiled proudly.

"What do you mean by that!?" Sayaka was angry.

"Alright, alright..." Yukina hurriedly played peacemaker.

The group gathered together and began to make a commotion.
