April is about to usher in the morning of the opening ceremony.
Bustling crowds of people were passing through the underground inspection platform. Students in twos and threes were chatting and laughing at the bus stop. The flying boat that could be seen when looking up was also scrolling and broadcasting the latest real-time news.
The huge wind turbines swayed neatly and slowly. As usual, Academy City still lives under the appearance of peace today.
If anything, it's different.
"...Well, morning meow, sister."
"It should be 'Good morning.'"
In the student dormitory of the seventh school district, the blond sister who walked into the kitchen turned her head and glanced at her sister who had just finished washing and looked a little confused.
The little guy who originally had low ability to live on his own was finally able to get up on time without help from others not long ago, which made Flanda, as her sister, very happy.
Sure enough, it was influenced by 'that day', right?
After skillfully tying up her scarf and tying up her hair, the girl who had given up on something asked Fremia to sit on the table and rest while preparing breakfast while recalling what happened some time ago.
A certain elementary school girl who was probably attracted by Kumokawa Maria's fierce actions when she rescued people at the Daihasei Festival. Ever since she came here, she has become obsessed with the anime "Super Mobile Girl Kanami" and seems to be interested in the profession of "maid".
Subtle deviations in understanding.
Not long ago, she even said, "Sister! I want to be a maid, nya!" This kind of statement probably came from her little mind, "Since you can't be a super mobile girl, you can become a maid." This is strange.
The equation of .
But if you really think about it, this problem is probably related to Frenda herself.
Putting the baked bread on two basins, the older sister with long blond curly hair vaguely remembered that she did have several times when she was a child before she came to Academy City in order to strengthen her body's protection and facilitate better 'work'.
I tried to manifest the 'Virgo Star Spirit Clothes' that looked like a maid outfit several times in front of my sister.
Is the source there?
After setting the table, Flanda sat down opposite Fremia. Although she wanted to ask her if she still remembered her childhood, she held back in the end.
Frenda has no prejudice against the profession of 'maid'. Being able to work hard towards this goal is a good thing in a sense. It would be even better if the little guy's orientation towards low management ability can be changed.
'...Would it be better to find a chance to ask Sylvia? But there seems to be a good school in Academy City...'
She thought subconsciously.
"Confusing Home Economics School for Girls".
If Flanda remembers correctly, that should be the name.
Taking this matter to heart, it is related to the future development of her sister. She who cares about her family will certainly take it seriously.
What if.........is also a problem.
"Meow. That's right, sister."
Fremia, who had been watching the TV show out of the corner of her eye, suddenly put down the milk, bringing Flanda back to the present from her thoughts about the future.
The younger sister, who still had crumbs on her lips, blinked in a half-demanding, half-coquettish tone.
"Basically, today is the first day of school, so it's only half a day, right?"
"……so?"
My sister, who knew Fremia's speaking pattern very well, asked with a straight face.
"In the afternoon, I want to go shopping underground and play cat!"
The little girl tried hard to emphasize her suggestion, raised her hands and shouted slogans.
As for her so-called 'underground shopping mall', it is actually an underground shopping mall with various facilities built underground by Academy City in order to solve the land problem using more advanced construction technology.
It's no wonder she had this idea. The various entertainment activities held there are very tempting for a primary school student like Fremia.
Unfortunately, the structure there was like a maze. If she were to go there alone, the end result would be for Franda to go to the Lost Children Center to collect someone.
Therefore, the little guy's purpose is very clear.
Unfortunately.
If it were chosen at any other time, it wouldn't matter if Frenda took her there, but today.
"no--"
"Meow! Meow meow..."
Not getting the permission she wanted, Fremia immediately retracted half of her head under the table in frustration.
Although she looked reluctant, she was still willing to listen to Flanda's words.
However, the little guy would still take a peek from time to time, trying to change his sister's mind.
Seeing such a sister, the girl's mouth softened and she deliberately prolonged her next words.
"but……"
With the emergence of this turning point, Fremia's gaze continued to rise.
expect.
expect.
(…………I have to ask you again, okay?)
The somewhat spoiled girl asked in her heart.
After that.
(Um!)
The answer followed without hesitation.
(She is also an important ‘sister’ to Yui, so it’s okay!)
A soft voice like a silver bell revealed her sincere emotions, and an invisible light point quietly fell on Fremia's shoulder.
The grown up elf looked at the side faces of his family and smiled reliably.
…
…
"Kirinooka Girls' College" is located in the "18th School District" where there are the largest concentration of schools related to ability development.
After temporarily entrusting her 'sister' to her 'daughter', Flanda finally had time to rush to the high school she would attend in the future.
Compared to the first time, she has been here for testing many times and can now be said to be more familiar with it.
After all, as this year's freshman representative, she still needs to communicate with students and the academic affairs department on some matters.
The trouble is a bit troublesome, but in order to gain more freedom and reduce unnecessary accidents, this little cooperation is acceptable.
Anyway, she has already had a similar experience.
While Frenda was talking with the college's tutors and the organizing committee backstage, the gymnasium where the opening ceremony was about to be held gradually began to fill up with people.
Although the level of laissez-faire at Kiriugaoka is quite high, after all, it is a school that can compete with prestigious schools like 'Tokiwadai', so the students' autonomy is naturally quite high.
Taking a break from her busy schedule, the girl stood in the corner of the curtain and looked around the entire venue with great interest, hoping to see if she could find a few 'familiar' faces.
However.
Then.
Indeed, there is one.
Memories returned in an orderly manner, and a hint of clarity lit up in Flanda's eyes.
Obviously, 'she' was 'standing' at the entrance, but no one noticed 'her'.
In that situation, it was as if 'she' and the people here were not in the same 'world' at all.
As the eyes turned, the eyes met 'accidentally'.
Some people opened their eyes in surprise.
Some people were silent and smiled slightly.
"Eh……?"
There seemed to be something stirring in the throat, just when the long-haired girl wearing glasses was wondering if someone was looking at her just now.
The announcements symbolizing the arrival of the new semester started buzzing around the venue like a partition.
