Chapter 23 Festival

It had been a few months, and Christmas was approaching. Chisato and Amou had become instructors at Saint Freya due to their experience. Gu Yuena remained a teacher at Senba High.

Artoria began to playfully imitate Kiana's behavior. Bianka and Rita visited the cafe once a week, attempting to persuade Amane to share the cafe's recipe. However, they later received a new mission and had to leave Nagazora. Nonetheless, they kept in touch with Amane.

"Amane," Artoria and Kiana said as they continued hugging his legs. They were excited to open the gifts Amane had prepared for them, but he stopped them. He explained that it wouldn't be exciting if they opened the gifts before Christmas. He didn't want them to feel jealous when they saw others opening their gifts while they had already opened theirs.

"Are you all ready?" Amane asked the girls in Yukata. Gu Yuena wore a black Yukata with a silver line, while Kiana wore an orange Yukata with white lining. Artoria had a blue Yukata with yellow lining.

As they arrived at the festival, the four of them attracted the crowds with their captivating looks, catching the attention of many people, mostly due to their beauty.

Gu Yuena looked coldly at them as she hugged Amane's left arm, while Kiana hugged his right arm. As for Artoria, she hugged Kiana's left arm.

"Mei-senpai! Over here!" Kiana shouted, waving her hands.

Mei was wearing a black yukata with red lining. "You made it," Mei smiled as she walked toward them.

"You look beautiful, Mei. By the way, are you alright?" Amane asked, concerned about her. The news yesterday was about her father being caught for embezzlement.

"Thank you for the kind words, and I'm alright. I'm glad you didn't treat me differently," Mei answered with a sweet smile.

"Why would we do that?" Kiana said, "I even thought about marrying you off to Amane."

"Kiana-chan," Mei blushed as she covered Kiana's mouth. "Don't say strange things," she said, glancing at Amane, who pretended to be distracted and didn't hear anything.

"Amane, that mask looks cool," Artoria said, pointing at the mask. "Oh, look at that sword, it looks cool too. I want something like that."

"Look at those foods, they look delicious. Let's buy one," Kiana and Artoria said together, making Amane, Gu Yuena, and Mei giggle.

"If I didn't have my special ability to copy things, I might go broke just by feeding these two," Amane said as he looked at Kiana and Artoria. When he glanced to his right, he also saw Gu Yuena carrying a bunch of food. "So, make that three," he added.

Mei giggled when she heard his words, even though she didn't understand what special ability he was talking about.

Amane noticed Kiana looking at the Homu flushy and decided to get it. However, the game was all about luck, similar to a gacha game, called Senbonbiki or a matsuri game, which offered a chance to win various items like snacks, toys, or sometimes even coupons. Prizes were tied to one end of a string, and all the other ends were gathered separately. Then you could choose one string to pull and see what prize you got.

As Amane pulled the string, he got two things: a Homu game console and the flushy that Kiana was looking at. He noticed a silver-haired girl looking intently at the game console and couldn't help but giggle.

Using his tracing ability, Amane decided to give the game console to the little girl, as he didn't need it anymore.

"Is this for Bronya?" Bronya tilted her head as she looked at the game console.

"Yes, this is for you. I noticed you were looking at it, and I don't have any use for this, so you can have it," Amane answered as he handed over the game console.

"Name?" Bronya asked as she looked at Amane.

"Fujimiya, Fujimiya Amane. Nice to meet you, Bronya-Chan," Amane said as he patted her head.

"Amane-Onii-Sama, can Bronya go with you? Can I follow you?" Bronya asked, standing behind him.

Amane felt a bit puzzled and asked, "Are your parents around, or are you lost?"

"Bronya is an orphan," she answered as she looked intently at Amane.

Amane smiled wryly and nodded his head. "By the way, Bronya-Chan, how old are you this year?"

"Bronya is 15," she answered, surprising Amane and starts wondering why this world was full of legal loli.
