"That guy, he didn't come today. Is it because he's discussing the Master's matter with those people?"
Mikazuki Munechika, who had just finished bathing and was blow-drying the Heavenly Father's hair, looked at Tachibana Koneko's portion of dinner on the dining table and whispered.
Originally, she was waiting for Tachibana Koneko to come over and play games with her, but she waited until it was almost bedtime and Tachibana Koneko still hadn't appeared.
Seeing that the people from the Occult Research Club had gathered to discuss Inaba Tsukiyo's matter because of her appearance, that must be why Tachibana Koneko didn't have a chance to come over.
"Munechika, it hurts. My hair feels like it's about to catch fire."
Just as Mikazuki Munechika was lost in thought, the Heavenly Father, whose hair was being blow-dried, felt her hair was about to catch fire and said in a calm tone.
To make the Heavenly Father more like a person, Inaba Tsukiyo had the Heavenly Father bathe with Mikazuki Munechika at regular times every day.
Although she could dry her hair instantly with her own power, Mikazuki Munechika saw the beautiful fiery red long hair of the Heavenly Father and couldn't help but want to help blow it dry.
Coincidentally, she usually helped Inaba Tsukiyo dry her long silver hair, so she was quite good at blow-drying hair... provided she didn't space out during the process.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Heavenly Father. I spaced out just now. Are you alright?"
Mikazuki Munechika moved away nervously, and only after confirming that the hair wasn't singed did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
The Heavenly Father's hair wasn't that easily damaged; the hair of every Herrscher was like that of a heroine in some adventure game, as if she used Piao Rou shampoo, it would never be damaged under any circumstances.
Through the mirror, the Heavenly Father looked at Mikazuki Munechika behind her, tilting her head in slight confusion.
"Munechika, aren't you on bad terms with Koneko? Why do you seem so eager for her to come over?"
"Who, who wants her to come over! I absolutely don't want her to come over! That sneaky cat! Her only purpose in coming here is to contend with me for Master."
"But... the 'guy' Munechika just mentioned clearly refers to Koneko. The only person who would still be here at this time, besides Koneko, is no one else."
As for Himejima Akeno, she was invited out by Inaba Tsukiyo or others every time after training, so she never had a chance to stay.
However, the situation has improved a lot recently, but she still wouldn't be able to stay overnight like Tachibana Koneko.
Based on these judgments, the Heavenly Father believed that the 'guy' Mikazuki Munechika was referring to was Tachibana Koneko.
"You... is your personality too bad? Why do I feel like your personality is becoming more and more obvious."
This person was clearly mocking her, right! Even if she tilted her head to act cute, it didn't change the fact that she was exposing her past.
This person... has the potential to be naturally dark. Such a person is the most terrifying, delivering a fatal blow when others are least prepared.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Just as she finished blow-drying the Heavenly Father's hair, the doorbell rang.
In this quiet home, the sound of the doorbell was particularly loud.
"At this hour, who could still be coming over?"
Mikazuki Munechika mumbled, feeling a bit strange. At this time, the neighbors should all be asleep, so why would someone come so late?
The Heavenly Father seemed to sense something, her gaze flickering towards the door, but she didn't tell Mikazuki Munechika her guess, merely watching Mikazuki Munechika walk towards the door.
Slightly opening the door, the scene outside fell upon a petite figure.
"It's you? What are you doing here so late?"
Mikazuki Munechika looked at Tachibana Koneko strangely, not understanding why she would come so late.
As she scrutinized Tachibana Koneko, she noticed a suitcase almost as tall as her beside Tachibana Koneko, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"I'm here to monitor Tsukuyo on the Minister's orders. I'll be living here starting today."
Tachibana Koneko stated the purpose of her visit. Mikazuki Munechika's expression became somewhat blank upon hearing this.
After a few seconds of silence, Mikazuki Munechika, having regained her senses, did not open the door but, after saying 'goodbye,' tried to close the door as quickly as possible.
But how could Tachibana Koneko allow such a thing to happen? The moment she was about to close the door, she had already reached out and grabbed the door crack, preventing Mikazuki Munechika from closing it.
"You! Let go of me quickly!"
"No way! If I let go! You'll definitely close the door! I won't do something so foolish!"
Tachibana Koneko used all her strength to pull the door open. Due to her inherent superhuman strength, coupled with her training during this period, Tachibana Koneko's strength was not something Mikazuki Munechika could compare with.
Just as the door was gradually being pulled open by Tachibana Koneko, Mikazuki Munechika's body suddenly emitted flashes of lightning. The door, which was almost open, stabilized again, reaching a stalemate.
'This person, I'm no match for her in terms of strength. And the door can't take much more.'
This door deserved praise for holding out this long, but if this continued, the door would definitely be the first to give out.
"Heavenly Father! Come and help me quickly! Help me drive this annoying person out!"
Having no other choice, Mikazuki Munechika could only call for outside help. Since her strength couldn't compare to Tachibana Koneko's, she would have the Heavenly Father come and help close the door together.
