Is broom really that necessary?

Yuuki was in the room while bringing a cup of sake since he felt it was nice.

"You're still a minor! How can you drink this kind of thing?" Yaeko reprimanded him.

"It's okay, this is only once, care you accompany me?" Yuuki asked.

Ito smiled, "Good, it's been a while since I have one."

"Mom? You want to drink too?" Yaeko was surprised.

"What are you susprised about? You should drink too, there isn't much of a chance for us to drink together," Ito said.

"Don't think too much," Yuuki poured some Sake on her cup.

Yaeko sighed at both of them and joined them.

They were talking to each other until both Shouko and Yuzuru came back.

"Mom? Grandma? What are you drinking?" Yuzuru asked. She asked curiously and walked toward them.

"You're still young, you can drink this," Yaeko said.

"Well...." Yuzuru didn't say anymore since she was afraid to be reprimanded again.

Yuuki looked at her and nodded. He was glad that her emotion was stable and didn't seem that susprised with the thing that happened before.

They were talking about tomorrow's trip and went to sleep.

Yuuki was on the edge of the room and felt a bit lonely. Suddenly he felt someone enter his futon and felt a hand touching his chest. He didn't say anything and only smiled.

"Don't do anything tonight, let's just sleep, ok?" Yaeko said.

Yuuki turned and nodded, "Yes, but we can do it at home, right?"

Yaeko blushed and nodded slightly.

Two days had passed and they had enjoyed their short trip in Karuizawa.

Yuuki was glad since his relationship with them became closer. He was driving while listening to music. He turned his head and saw that everyone was sleeping since they were a bit tired. Though, this trip was a bit troublesome since he met the East Youkai Faction. Luckily, they didn't bother him again after he had killed Tsuchigumo.

Yuuki didn't think about the thing that happened in Karuizawa and went back home.

---

Yuuki had sent the Nishimiya family back to their home. He went back to his house and heard someone was in the courtyard. He walked toward that direction and saw that both Akane and Makoto.

"What are you doing?" Yuuki asked.

"Oh, Yuuki, welcome home," Makoto smiled.

"Welcome home, did you bring souvenirs?" Akane asked.

Yuuki nodded, "Here, you can eat it together with everyone."

"Yay," Akane took the souvenir bag and looked at it for a while.

"So what are you doing here?" Yuuki asked.

"Onee-Chan is teaching me magic," Makoto said.

"Hoo? Really?" Yuuki sat down while looking at her with intriguing expressions.

"What with your expression?" Akane looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"Not really, then what are you teaching her?" Yuuki asked.

"I'm teaching her how to ride a flying broom," Akane said.

Yuuki raised his eyebrow, "Isn't he able to do that already?"

Akane nodded, "Yes, but there is something wrong with the application." She looked at her and said, "Makoto, can you do it?"

"Yes," Makoto frowned since she didn't really like the flying broom magic since her crotch felt uncomfortable. She was flying while sitting on the broom, "Done." She had an uncomfortable expression on her face right now.

Akane shook her head, saying, "It's wrong."

"Really?" Makoto landed and asked her strangely.

Akane nodded, "You don't make the broom fly but rather yourself who is flying." She took a broom and said, "Look at me." She held the broom and started to float. She didn't sit on it but only held it in her hands.

"Wow....." Makoto was amazed.

Akane started to fly around without even sitting on her broom. She was similar to a fish that was swimming on the water freely. She showed them for a while and landed on the ground, "Alright, you can try it."

Makoto nodded and held her broom similar to how her sister held it. She closed her eyes and started to float slowly. She opened her eyes and was happy when she succeeded.

"Good," Akane nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Onee-Chan," Makoto said with a happy expression. She was glad that she didn't need to feel that uncomfortable feeling anymore.

Akane nodded, "You're talented, you don't need to worry about it." She turned her attention toward him and asked, "How is it? Do you have a question?" She thought that he was amazed by the power of a witch.

"Hmm, I have been curious about something," Yuuki said.

"Sure, ask away," Akane said.

"You can fly without a broom right? Then why do you need to use a broom to fly?" Yuuki asked. He felt that the broom was kind of useless when they could fly without even using it.

"Now that you mention it, why?" Makoto asked. She felt quite strange about this question since she also didn't need to use a broom to fly anymore.

"Well, the answer to this question is tradition," Akane said.

"Tradition?"

Akane nodded, "In the past, there wasn't much transportation, at the same time, the witch organization wanted to make a trademark of their group since they were often being mistaken with a magician, so they decided to use broom since they often used it to clean their room with a broom."

Yuuki felt that it was kind of strange.

Akane looked around and said, "Thought, there is a legend that most of the witch is single and it's hard to find a man, they used a broom to somehow satisfy themselves."

Makoto blushed when she heard it.

Yuuki wasn't sure whether he could accept this kind of history.
