Reincarnation... is getting popular

12 o'clock: Twilight

A slap on the back of my head awakens me from slumber. For some reason, as I push myself up whilst rubbing the back of my head, I am lying on sandy ground. En? What're these green coloured things on my body?

A second later, my finally working brain identify this green thing as moss!

Aargh!! Not again!

"Do you remember who you are, who we are? Who is your girlfriend?"

I wipe off the moss from my body, to no avail. I need to take a long bath for this... Looking up from my clothes whilst feeling irritated, I look at the perpetrator who smacked my head.

"What's with that question?" I certainly don't sound friendly towards this guy, L.S.

A.U. is also here; so is Toy, the Demon. At present, the Demon is tying up the unconscious Dimensional Witch «Chirin» with a chain. A.U. is examining the Dimensional Witch's staff with curiosity, muttering, "Where did she learn a spell like that?"

I rub my forehead, feeling a headache coming forth, "You guys really come here?"

"I am not here voluntary," the Demon mutters, carrying the tied and unconscious Dimensional Witch in the way of carrying a sack of rice

I don't see any kind of restriction on him, but he is still hanging around the Devils. It's probably invincible then, just like how L.S. was able to subdue Toy with a wave of his hand.

"Although the timing is a bit late, it is still a good thing that we are here, isn't it?" L.S. gives a grin, to my bemusement

"For your information," A.U. gives a clearer answer, "It's not easy, tracking down that one," she points at Dimensional Witch, muttering, "Saniwa, tasked to bring this AWOL senior oracle back... I am being treated as an errand girl, aren't I?"

Saniwa and Dimensional Witch come from the same monastery, I know. They told me about it, when L.S. told me the news A.U. gathered, at the teahouse.

"You still haven't answered my question. Do you remember who your girlfriend is?" L.S. offers a hand to raise me up, but I reject it with a shake of my head

I look around, finding the magic mallet and take it in my hands again. Using the magic mallet as a crutch, I stand up by myself and swipe the moss and sand off my body with exasperation. Towards L.S.'s expectant gaze, I roll my eyes and respond, "It's Akashima Yana,"

"It's a good thing you do not forget about your girlfriend~" L.S. has a hippy smile, but still with his eyes curved

I narrow my eyes at him, questioning, "How long have you been tracking her down? Did you eavesdropped on our conversation?"

The Devils raise their fists and reveal their thumbs. L.S. said the timing is a bit late; it's because they are having fun eavesdropping, aren't they? It's good that they do think of stopping Dimensional Witch, but coming out after she cast her magic on me...

I shake my head, comb the hair back, and sigh, "Let's change the location back to the inn... I am going to take a bath,"

Nobody has any objection. Thus, they follow me back to the inn and wait until I finish a long bath. Afterwhich, I take them to a restaurant to eat. I am not treating.

"Aren't you appearing very lax right now?" L.S. seems to be impressed

"You left Dimensional Witch behind without a guard. Aren't you fearless?" I respond blandly

Toy, the Demon, glances at me. He is the one tasked with guarding Dimensional Witch, after all. A.U. smiles gracefully, "I am confident in my work,"
