Today’s old maid was held five times, and Kiriha who remained calm throughout the entire game gathered the most points. Following her was Sanae, Koutarou, Theia and Yurika.
Despite being so enthusiastic about it, Yurika had lost many points. She couldn't even win against Theia, whose head was in the clouds.
“I really should have used the ski mask and sunglasses...”
“Isn't it fine? You only lost all the points Koutarou gave you.”
“That's true~, but if only I had hid my face and eyes I might have been able to keep some of my points~”
“...I don't think you would have had any left even then...”
“Uhhh.”
Yurika cried bitter tears, having lost every game while Sanae updated the points on the score sheet on the wall. However, as she was doing that, she thought of something and stopped her hand.
“That's right, Koutarou, Koutarou.”
“Yeah?”
“I'll give you some of my points.”
As Sanae said that she swung the pen in her hand around like a magical stick. She looked more like a magical girl than Yurika ever did as she floated in the air.
“Why?”
“I took half of the 20 points you gave to Yurika.”
“Don't worry. I still have points to spare.”
Koutarou's goal was no longer to gain control of the room. It had now changed to resolving the problems that the invader girls had. Because of that, he didn't want anyone to lose. That had been the primary reason for Koutarou giving Yurika points, so there was no need for Sanae to give him the points back.
“It's okay. I'm winning today, and besides I'm striving to become the perfect woman♪”
“What's with that all of a sudden?”
However, Sanae ignored Koutarou's intentions and rewrote his points. She subtracted ten points from her total and added them to Koutarou's.
Fufufu, if Koutarou's going to be the perfect man, then I'll be the perfect woman. I'll become a grand guardian spirit that you'll be happy to have protecting you♪
Sanae no longer thought of Koutarou as an enemy she had a truce with. She either considered Koutarou to be her close friend, or an older brother she admired. She didn't want him to lose, and since she respected him she wanted to copy him. Those feelings led to her giving Koutarou points.
“Thank you, Sanae.”
“There is no need for thanks. Consider it a warrior’s mercy. Hohoho.”
Hearing Sanae's cheerful laugh, Koutarou decided to let her do as she pleased.
And if Sanae looks like she's about to lose, I can just give her the points back...
Koutarou knew that Sanae was admiring him, so he decided to accept her goodwill. And since Koutarou and Sanae were cooperating, she wasn't going be at disadvantage with the points moving over to Koutarou. The points moving was only superficial.
More importantly...
With the games over for now, Koutarou recalled what he was supposed to do.
“...”
And that was to do something about Theia who was still looking down, thinking about something.
First, I need to take Ruth-san to the side and ask her.
Koutarou made up his mind and shifted his glance from Theia to Ruth who was behind her.
Ruth was also silently looking down. Seeing that it wasn't just Theia but Ruth as well made Koutarou quite anxious. To him, Theia should have an imposing expression, and Ruth a calming one.
“Ru―”
“Satomi-sama.”
And in the exact moment Koutarou was about to call out to Ruth, she spoke his name. Before he knew it, she had raised her head and stared straight at him.
“Yes?”
Slightly surprised, Koutarou looked back at Ruth. She was looking at him with a serious expression. Her hands were clenched and resting on top of her knees. It was an appearance that showed great determination.
“...There is something I want to ask you about...”
“I don't mind.”
When Koutarou nodded, Ruth let out a slight sigh of relief.
Could it be that... Theia is in a really bad state?
Koutarou could sense the danger Theia was in from Ruth's behavior.
“...Then...”
Ruth took a deep breath and began to explain.
