## Chapter 1: The Spell

> https://www.bilinovel.com/novel/1105/44186.html

"Welcome. A table for two?"

"Hello. Yes—the non-smoking section, please. And two hot coffees."

"Of course. This whole room is non-smoking, so please sit wherever you like."

After that practiced exchange, the girl showed the boys inside.

"……This is a café?"

Behind the man who had spoken so easily, the other one grumbled.

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

This place was nothing like the stylish cafés in fashion these days. The room was hemmed in by dreary, outdated books. This was the reference room after school. The girl humming a little tune as she poured the coffee was no café owner, and no expert at making coffee either. She was a girl in a school uniform. The man who looked like a customer, and the man behind him wearing an expression that said he had no idea what was happening, were students in uniform as well. The young men sat down on plain iron chairs. Cups of fragrant amber liquid, still giving off heat, were set on an office desk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Was today's coffee something she was especially proud of? She looked at the two of them, her face full of smiles.

"We waited forever!"

"Ah—ah, thanks!"

"Mm-hmm, what a nice aroma. Today's coffee is Nicafes, right? The gold blend, red label!"

"Too bad, Sunohara! Today's coffee is Brazil from the Datilla estate. The beans have to be roasted for about two da……(Content failed to load! Please refresh or switch browsers)

## Chapter 2: Overture

Ding-dong, ding-dong……

The moment the bell rang, the steady snoring that had gone on until now stopped as well.

"Stand! Bow!"

He shot to his feet……

"Be seated!"

"Uwaaah."

Tomoya, still not fully awake, looked around. The teacher was already gone, and everyone was doing as they pleased. How long had it been since sleeping through class earned him a scolding?

"Is it lunch break already……"

"Yo! Okazaki, morning!"

"Morning, my foot. It's already noon."

The voice from behind was a familiar one, so he answered the way he always did.

"You just woke up, didn't you? So me saying good morning is correct."

He turned. There was exactly the person he expected, smiling at him in exactly the way he expected.

The guy set the bag he was carrying down beside the desk. Looked like he had only just gotten to school.

"Well, whatever."

"Anyway, what are you doing at lunch today?"

"Doing?"

"Where are you eating? That's what I'm asking. Lately you vanish without a trace every lunch break."

These days Tomoya often ate lunch with Nagisa. Sunohara already knew Tomoya was helping rebuild the drama club, but he did not seem to know that Tomoya was also eating lunch with Nagisa. Tomoya had not exactly been hiding it on purpose…… Honestly, if Sunohara found out, he would start preening about it again, so Tomoya decided not to spell it out.

## Chapter 3: Who is

> https://www.bilinovel.com/novel/1105/44188.html

Homeroom ended, and at last school was out.

"Ah, Class Rep. Today is……"

"Sorry, something urgent came up. I'll be right back!"

Kyou hurried out—the first one to bolt from the classroom—and was just about to rush for the roof.

(Wait a second. If I charge for the roof like this, as if I can't wait another moment, people will think, "She's been dying for class to end!" I don't even know who would think that, but it still rubs me the wrong way……)

Realizing her dignity was at stake, she stopped short of heading for the roof.

"Hmm……"

At the foot of the stairs to the roof, Kyou stood with her arms crossed, thinking.

(He didn't even write what time to meet after school. Same as always, then—I'll check on Tomoya first…… No. I'll check on Ryou first. Calling me up to the roof so carelessly—I'm only going because I have no choice. At least I should finish what I need to do before I go, or it'll look unnatural.)

She turned back and put the rooftop meeting off for now. Just in case—so the person who had written the letter would not notice anything off about her—she worked to settle back into calm words and calm behavior, and headed for Class 3-D.

But the closer she got to the classroom she meant to reach, the shorter Kyou's steps became, and the slower she walked. The school building was small, so before she knew it she had arrived.

At the entrance to Class 3-D, Kyou drew a deep……(Content failed to load! Please refresh or switch browsers)

## Chapter 4: Girls meeting

> https://www.bilinovel.com/novel/1105/44189.html

"Whoa, Picnic-sensei!"

Sunohara came once more to the reference room veiled by black curtains. Unlike last time, the candles on the lampstand were already lit. Miyazawa, dressed as Einich, had her elbows planted on the table and spread to either side, watching Sunohara from beneath her cloak.

"Please. Sit."

Urged on by that peculiar, high-pitched voice, Sunohara walked up to the square table and sat on the iron chair.

"Sensei, actually……"

"I know without you telling me."

Sunohara had meant to report how the letter had turned out, but Einich before him raised a hand and stopped his words.

"I already know the result. A failure of a result, and yet my spell was still flawless. Isn't that so."

"Y-yes. Sensei, you're right. Everything happened just as you said!"

"Of course."

"Yeah, this is what I've always dreamed of!"

In fact, Tomoya had already reported the result to Miyazawa beforehand, but Sunohara, who had not considered that at all, gazed at Einich with the utmost respect.

"And this time, you want me to cast the spell for you once more. Yukine has already told me."

"Yes. Just as you say."

"Mm. Then it can't be helped. Once a request goes past two times, I formally begin to charge……"

Einich let out a light sigh, then took up a thick, ancient book of spells.

"Um, if I may ask for reference—about how much would the official fee be?"

"The price changes with the level of the spell cast. Going by last time's 'Bond of……(Content failed to load! Please refresh or switch browsers)

## Chapter 5: SUNOHARA

> https://www.bilinovel.com/novel/1105/44190.html

Tomoya woke before seven. That was only natural; at this hour there was still plenty of time to make it to class. Maybe everything that had happened had worn him out—yesterday he had fallen asleep surprisingly early. And that was why he was awake now.

As usual, he tried to go back to sleep for a little longer…… But today, of all days, he could not manage it.

(Is Nagisa coming to school today?)

She, who always waited faithfully for Tomoya at the school gate.

(She had only just recovered from a serious illness, so she could not be feeling well, and still she kept waiting……)

Then again, in that condition there was no way she could come to school. Even so, unease welled up in Tomoya's chest.

Tick, tick. The sound of the clock's second hand moving echoed in his ears……

"Aaah—seriously, damn it!"

Tomoya kicked the covers off and lurched roughly out of bed. After a deep sigh, he got ready to head for school.

(I really do worry about other people, don't I!?)

Staying home would not help anything. The moment he was ready, Tomoya set off for school, killing time as he drew nearer to the gate.

When he arrived, he realized he was far too early. Only a few students there for club activities were on campus. Soon, though, the number of students coming in rose quickly, and about thirty minutes before morning homeroom the front of the gate grew lively.

(Is Nagisa staying home again today…… resting?)

There was still time before the warning bell. But on an ordinary day, Nagisa would already be waiting in front of the gate……(Content failed to load! Please refresh or switch browsers)

## Chapter 6: End of the magic

> https://www.bilinovel.com/novel/1105/44191.html

Faint sunlight slipped through a small window, staining the dim room orange. The sun was nearly down.

Besides the counter, the room held a European-style square table and chairs, and on the stage farther in sat an old karaoke set and speakers. They looked as if they had sat unused for quite some time; from the look of things, the place could no longer stay in business. Empty whiskey and beer bottles lay scattered across the floor.

By all appearances, this had to be a bar that had already gone under.

"Wh-wh-what, what's going on, you people!?"

Sunohara, who had been in the car, was dragged into this room, his hands bound with rope, and thrown roughly onto the floor.

Men in Hawaiian shirts—or rather, nothing but men in gaudily colored shirts. In a word, Sunohara was surrounded by a pack of thugs.

"This the guy? The one who made a fool of you?"

A man in a purple shirt and sunglasses looked down at Sunohara and asked.

"That's right, this is the guy!"

By a door that seemed to be the room's exit, a bald man in a strange school uniform stood bolt upright and answered at the top of his voice.

"You! You're—!?"

Yesterday's delinquent—the one who had led Sunohara and Mei off the shopping street into a back alley and demanded two hundred thousand yen as a cleaning fee.

"You. Yesterday you had the nerve to make a fool of me."

The bald man's face was taut as he threatened Sunohara.

"Excuse me, did you get the soft-serve that hit you washed off?"
