p2
>Ah~ It's hot today.
>Yeah.

>Ah, I don't wanna do the next test~
>I want it to end already~

>Let's have a study session tomorrow.
>Uwhee, that's sudden!
>...Or not.
>Well, in the end, you're not really the kind of person who studies, are you?

p3
>It'd be the same doing it alone anyway
>so it'd be more fun doing it with someone else, right?

>Alright, we can do it if you actually feel like studying.
>Ooh, those are some wise words.

>Alright, I'll head over to your place tomorrow, Nio.
>Yeah ye-

>Eh?

>That would be kinda irritating
>Oh! So this is Nio's friend!

>I should explain things to the Demon King...
>Hm?

p3
>Waaahaha!
>We'll be able to loop around at this rate, Chidori!
>She's here for some reason.

>Demon King... You're playing at the park today, huh...
>You're like a high schooler screwing around on the swings like that.
>Oh, Nio! You're home early!

p4
>Ah! It's Chi-chan's onee-chan!
>So you're here too, Youko-chan.
>Yeah! We're playing together!

>Do it for me next, Demon King Nee-chan!
>Swings swings~
>Very well.

>D-Demon King, I don't mind you playing with little kids, but...
>Please keep the thrills to a minimum.

>Oh, are you jealous, Nio?
>Of the young ones.
>Of course not!

p5
>Listen to this, Nee-chan!
>Today, the boys from kindergarten hit Chi-chan's face with the ball.

>But they didn't even say sorry!
>That's no good!
>Ah
>Is that so, Chidori? You okay?

>Yeah.
>Honestly! Ken-chan's so reckless!

>Maybe he's possessed by a ghost that doesn't say sorry.
>Maybe!
>Eh? The heck is that?
>An evil spirit?

p6
>When kids are little, they sometimes get into little fights with their friends
>and find it hard to apologize.

>While thinking of wanting to apologise, everything just goes back to normal
>and things remain awkward.

>An honest apology is a pretty hard thing to do.

>Did that kinda thing happen to you too, Nio?

>To me...? Hmmm
>I guess it did.

p7
>Now that I think about it
>I wonder why I got upset over such a trivial thing.

>Why did I refuse to apologize to that extent...

>I often say...
>Ooh...sorry. I got overenthusiastic and chopped off your left arm.
>a lot.
>That's... not the kind of apology I had in mind...

p8
>Demon King!
>Look!

>We made a tunnel!
>Oh...

>Now it connects to the other street!

>And you decorated it with stones too...
>It's like a castle~

p9
>...Eh...

>D-...
>Demon king...?

p10
>Aaaah~

>How cruel, Demon King Nee-chan!
>Why did you break it!?
>My hand slipped.

>My bad.
>Apologise properly!

>...I'm
>...really sorry.

p11
>Okay!
>I forgive you!

>Do you forgive her too, Chi-chan?

>...Demon King.
>Make it again.
>With us.

>...Okay, understood.
>Sorry about that, Chidori.

p12
>...What was that all about, Demon King...?
>Did...
>something bother... you...?

>...

>...It's the urge to destroy.

p13
>Demon King, what was that just...
>Nothing for you to worry about.
>The Demon King's voice
>was quieter than I had ever heard her up until now.

>Was I... imagining things?
>>Complete
>We did it~
>I get the feeling there's a lot more sand than there was before...
