p1
An extra chapter will appear in SQ.19 as well! Details on page 302!!
Golden Darkness's personal spaceship
Lunatique

p2
Master, you've done combat training without getting any sleep once again today
You should get a good night's sleep and rest your body from time to time
left: Yami's residence...

p3
I want to restore my senses that have been dulled by the peaceful life
//Besides, have you ever seen me sleeping soundly in this bed since I picked you up at a junk shop?
Well... I haven't, that's why I'm saying this

p4
Also... Luna
Aye?

2
p1
Please stop calling me "Master"
From now on, call me "Yami-chan"...

p2
When was the last time I slept soundly?
I don't remember my past very well
Because I've never looked back

3
p1
If it's something that happened after *that taiyaki*
I vividly remember all of it----...

p2

p3
Kujou-senpai!
//It seems you took care of Mikan the other day...
Umm... Thank you very much!!

4
p1
Don't worry about it
I only did an obvious thing

p2
I'm going
//It'll get complicated if Saki-sama sees us talking like we're close
Yes!

p3

5
p1
I'm so glad for you, Rito-san. You were able to thank her properly ♫
Yeah! Thanks for calling her out, Momo

p2
So... How was she? That Kujou-san ♥
? What do you mean...?

p3
Mau---!

p4

6
p1
What's that?
nb: Maaau

p2
Yami-san
Ah! That item, don't tell me---...

p3
Yami! Don't touch that---!
!?

p4

7
p1

p2
Uh

p3
!?
//Yuuki-kun, Yami-chan!?
Wa... Wait, what's going on?

8
p1
sfx: squeeze

p2
D... Don't misunderstand, Sairenji! Kotegawa!
Th- There's an explanation for this...

p3
Due to a malfunction of Big Sister's invention, their hands are stuck together!
nb: Hoeeeh---
Ehhh!?

9
p1
H... How did something like that happen!?
Bye-bye

p2
Because the same thing happened in the past, I put this thing away as something dangerous
But it seems Celine-san found it...

p3
How interesting!
//So you can't take your hand off at all?
It's like our hands have become powerful magnets...

p4
There's no choice

p5
Should I cut it off?
Don't---!

10
p1
Wai... Calm down, Yami-chan
Th... That's right, as time passes, the magnetic force will weaken naturally!

p2
Holding hands with you until that happens...
Is uncomfortable
...

p3
Oh... Where are you going?
I'm going to buy taiyaki. It's what I do after school.

p4
Ah... I'll come along too. In case there's something inconvenient for you.

11
p1
How nice... Yami-chan
How shameless...

p2/3
~~~~...
I... I'll go too! Mea, let's go!
Ah

p4
I'm sorry, Nana-chan!
It looks fun, but I have something to take care of today

p5
I... I see
It's fine. See you tomorrow!

12
p1
Ugh--- I knew it, it's embarrassing
//Walking while holding hands...

p2
nb: Yami-chan, you're so lovey-dovey holding hands with your boyfriend~~ ♥
Even the taiyaki vendor said something like that...

p3
I'm very uncomfortable too
...

p4
But...
Eh?

13
p1
nb: This warmth----...
Just a little...
I've remembered something from my childhood

p2/3
? You mean before you became an assassin...?
Speaking of that, what was your childhood like, Yami?

14
p1
Please don't get carried away
//It's not something I should talk about with you, my target
Haha...

p2
Also, if you eat my taiyaki, I'll kill you
I get it already...

p3
That Rito is all giddy from holding hands
nb: Mmm~~~
...

p4
"Clingy-clingy glue-kun..."
I completely forgot that there was such a wonderful item

15
p1
nb: If I used that, then I too---....
momo: Rito-san... People are looking...
rito: W... We can't help it until we get home
momo: Ahhh, but I can't! Being stuck to Rito-san day and night
//momo: My reason won't be able to hold me back... ♥

p2
?
Huhuhu

p3
But still...
I didn't expect that Mea-san would refuse to tag along...
Given her personality, you'd think she'd definitely stick her nose in this...

p4
This worries me---... But...
With Yami-san and Rito-san in this situation, I'd better not move carelessly...

16
p1/2
Itadakimaaasu!!

p3
lala: I'm so sorry--- That you're so inconvenienced because of my item, Yami-chan
rito: This is convenient---
yami: No...

p4
Well, you can stay as much as you need until the effect wears off
Thank you very much

17
p1
Ugh~~~ I suffered being stuck to Lala's tail in the past
In the end, having only one hand is inconvenient...

p2
...
Uh!

p3
I should...
Ahhhh

p4
Wait! Why would I do something like that!!?
...

p5

18
p1
If you look, I'll kill you

p2
Muguguh (I can't breathe...)
Muguh---! (I'll die---!)

p3

p1

p2
Mikan

p3
What is it, Yami-san?

p4
I'd like to borrow your shower

20
p1
mikan: You... want to take a shower? Together with Rito?
yami: It's not like I can help it
rito: B... But you could skip it for one day at least~~

p2
I always take a shower once every day
You're a little sweaty too, so please wash yourself as well

p3
Of course, I'll blindfold you once again...
P... Please don't blindfold me with your transform!!
//I'll just wrap a towel around

21
p1
Oh my, how splendid!!
//Then I too will go with you to help out! It'll be too inconvenient with both of you being one-handed!!
Momo-san!!

p2
No, Momo, you shouldn't!!
Somehow, you're too easy on that Rito!!

p3
I... I will
Go with them!!

22
p1
Nana-san, you!?
That's right!
I'll go with them and watch that Rito doesn't do anything weird to Yami!!

p2
Is it alright!? Yami!
...

p3
I see
Please do, Princess Nana
Wh... What about my opinion---!?

p4/5
Yeah... Well, if it's Nana-san...
That Nana... Such a smooth operator ♥

23
p1
Alright, Rito! I'll put the blindfold on!
Uh... Yeah

p2
B... But how am I supposed to undress?
I'll just cut your clothes off

p3
I'll sew them back together with my transform ability afterward
Don't you dare take the blindfold off, Rito!!

24
p1/2

p3
Uh... Even though I'm blindfolded

p4
The girls'...
Smell is still...!!

25
p1
I'll wash you back
Th... This is bad...!!

p2
Why did this have to happen...!!?

26
p1
I'm sorry, Princess Nana
Just call me Nana!

p2

p3
Hey, I'm not going to wash you
I... I know

27
p1
Eh... Shower, shower
Here

p2

p3
Ah!
Wai...
Fwaaaah!?

p4
Haaaaa
Hmm?
//What's this sensation...?
That's...

28
p1
My...
//Tail...
Mmm ♥
Eh!

p2
S...
//Sorry!

p3

29
p1/2

p3
I hate ecchi!!

30

31
p1
Huh...
...?

p2
!!....
Eh!
Ah
//No way...

p3
D... Don't come near, you beast!!!

p4
Gyaaa-----!!
What are they doing...?

32
p1
What's wrong, Nana?
N... Nothing...

p2

p3
So you laid the futons out in the Japanese-style room, Mikan-san
Yes
//The bed's not big enough for both Yami-san and Rito to sleep there

33
p1
Thank you very much, Mikan
Don't worry about it
Lala said she thinks the item's effect will wear out in the morning, so take your time

p2
Good night---

p3
Is it alright? They're on the first floor, so if something happens, we won't be able to run to them quickly
It's alright, Yami-san is there

p4
And not Momo-san ♫
...She's on guard against me rather than the top assassin in the universe...

p5

34
p1
Ughhh...
//I can't believe I get to sleep with Yami...

p2
My heart was pounding when it was with Lala...
But with Yami, I feel a different kind of tension...

p3
What's more, my hands still retain that sensation...
Shit~~~ I can't fall asleep because of this~~~

p4
...Are you thinking about something ecchi?
!!

35
p1
Next time you do something weird, I'll kill you on the spot
I- I won't do something like that!!

p2
...
Ya... Yami, you can't sleep either?

p3
Ever since I became an assassin, I've never slept with my mind calm and relaxed
Even when I close my eyes, only my body rests, but I can't reach deep slumber

p4
...True, the last time she stayed over, I saw her sleeping while she was up...

36
p1
You do it because you don't know when someone might attack you... right?
Yes
//If I don't feel the tension constantly, I might lose my life in an instant

p2
You've been living in a terrifying world... Yami...

p3
Speaking of that, when we met for the first time, she said to Lala...
nb: "A princess brought up in a greenhouse won't understand"
nb: "The loneliness of living all alone in this universe"

p4
That... wasn't just for Lala
Those words applied even to me... didn't they...?

p5
I'm sorry...
//Somehow...

37
p1
What are you apologizing for?
//For what happened in the shower?
Th... That as well, but...

p2
I... up till now, I've said many self-important things to you, Yami
Of course, I was sure it was all serious advice from me
nb: "You are not a weapon"
nb: "Well, taking it easy is the best"

p3/4
From your point of view, it's
//"Don't talk so self-importantly when you don't know anything". I was thinking if that's how you felt...
That's why... I'm sorry

38
p1/2/3

p4
Doctor Tearju Lunatique...

p5/6
...Eh?

39
p1/2
Today... when we held hands...
I remembered her
left: You must see the next page too!!

p3
Shall we---....
Talk about the past for a bit?

At last, the truth of her childhood days will come to light---
