「Hey Kazu, let’s go there. I’ve always wanted to try it at least once.」

Yui pointed to the print climax also known as purikura.

You enter the booth, take a picture, and it will be ejected as a sticker.

Although it seems to have gone downhill since cell phones with photo taking functions became popular, there was a time when “JK means purikura”.

「How was it? Did you find anyone suspicious?」

Yui, who’s puzzled by the controls of the machine she was touching for the first time, began to whisper as she entered the booth.

「So, you’re not just into gaming?」

「Ah, it’s obvious I’m not……right? The game center seemed to have few girls so if I stood out, it would be useful to gather information.」

Why can’t you look me in the eyes then?

「At least I didn’t find any variant.」

Of course, I wasn’t just idly watching Yui play.

I was scanning the area carefully.

「I see. There is nothing my divine object can do if they mimic humans so I can only rely on Kazu.」

「The divine object is only a weapon. That’s normal.」

If you have very little information on the target, a good quality radar is your go to.

However, it’s useless if you don’t even know what to look for.

That means you also need experience and intuition in order to interpret what you detect.

「It’s not something we can find on the first day.」

「That’s true. That means while we are investigating it, I will continue to train Yui.」

Since Susanoo has blatantly led us, it means we are bound to do something in the near future.

「Okay, it’s about to take a picture. Smile, smile!」

From the booth came a sticker with an incredibly beautiful girl and a boy with a stiff face.

No matter how many years I’ve lived, I’ve never been good at smiling in pictures……

「I’ll give you half but I don’t have scissors. Right, I can use gungnir.」

「Hold it right there.」

You can’t swing your leg in this place.

I made a little vacuum blade with my fingertips and cut the stickers with the printed photo into half.

「Magic sure is handy.」

「This is the first time I’ve used it like this since coming back here.」

「Hehehe, a purikura of me and Kazu.」

It makes me a bit itchy if you’re that happy.

And my face in the picture looks funny.

「I guess it’s around time for us to get arrested.」

Ah, right. There was a time limit for high schoolers to get in and out of the gesen.

「Should we go home?」

「Yeah, let’s go again tomorrow.」

「Let’s go to another gesen tomorrow.」

「I’m going to do same Saber image training at home.」

「Please practice handling the divine object instead.」

「Just kidding. Don’t forget. You promise to give me special training at night.」

「Of course.」

I promised Yui that I would train her.

Of course, the purpose of training Yui is to increase her chances of survival.

The plan was to go home and meet up with her in secret.

The problem was the location.

Using the Shiratori house again is not a good idea……
