"Huhuhu~"
Holding the letter containing the secret tightly, which his mother had given him, Xiaoming stood at the classroom door and took a deep breath.
Luna, who had been restrained by Sis-ha, was sitting on a chair, hugging her. Luna looked very uncomfortable, frowning and staring at me, who had abandoned her. It was scary. If she were to say, "Oh, you're going to fight? What?" with a smile and a bloodied fist, there would be no way to resist...
"Looking at it this way, they seem like sisters, don't they?"
"That's true. Shouldn't Luna also try to get along?"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You must be joking. The thought of treating such a person as a sister makes my skin crawl."
Luna, who had been made to sit on Sis-ha's lap and was obedient, was observed by Estelle and Nol, who commented that Sis-ha and Luna looked like sisters. Upon hearing this, Luna's expression became visibly unpleasant, and she grabbed Sis-ha's arm, trying to push it away. However, Sis-ha did not budge at all, indicating that she was restraining Luna with considerable force.
Hmm... Both of them have blonde hair, and with Luna sitting on her lap, it does indeed look like that. They look quite different in age, though.
"Alright, let me go. I'm about to bite you."
"I don't mind. I won't let go with just that."
Luna, who had lost her patience, bared her fangs and made a clicking sound with her teeth, as if warning, "I'm going to bite you." I, who had abandoned her, thought it would be better to let her go. She looks like she's about to get really angry.
Thinking this, I looked at Sis-ha, but she hugged Luna even tighter, saying she wouldn't let go no matter what. At that moment, Luna stopped making the clicking sound and bit Sis-ha's upper arm. It sounded more like a grinding sound than a bite.
"Ouch! But even with this—huh?"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
"Hey, Sis-ha? What's wrong?"
Sis-ha, who had been bitten, let out a scream of pain but did not loosen her grip on Luna. Perhaps she was used to pain, as she did not flinch at all. However, after a while, something strange happened to her. The arm that was hugging Luna began to lower, and her body started to lean on the armrest of the chair. Luna, who had stopped biting, slipped out of Sis-ha's lap.
"Ugh... I can't move my body..."
"You finally bit me that hard. Are you a monster?"
"What did you do?"
Sis-ha, who had been bitten, hung her head, completely unable to move. Luna, who had slipped out, looked at her with a somewhat exasperated voice. It seems she did something when she bit. For Sis-ha to be unable to move, it must have been quite powerful.
"When I bite, I can add various status effects. This time, I made her body numb. She won't be able to move for a while."
Luna, who had been asked by Nol, explained what she did to Sis-ha, who was now unable to move. It's pretty impressive that she can cause status effects just by biting. However, if she has to bite a monster to use it, I don't think she would be willing to do it... I wouldn't want to do it either if I were asked.
"Indeed, you are quite impressive, Luna."
"Wh-What? Why are you moving!?"
"Because I'm a priest, you see."
Luna, who had been standing with her arms crossed, felt hands placed on her shoulders. She shuddered and turned around to see Sis-ha, who was looking calm. Sis-ha, who had been completely immobile until just a moment ago, was now completely calm. As a priest, she can easily cure status effects... Luna must have known that. Despite her calm and cold appearance, she seems to have some unexpected weaknesses.
"Sis-ha, you should stop now. You'll really be hated."
"Ugh... You're right. But I'll definitely make you get along with me someday!"
It's not good to do things that make people uncomfortable right after being summoned. It would be better to stop now. When I told Sis-ha to stop, she reluctantly let go of Luna's shoulders and stepped back. She seemed to know when to back off. After she stepped back, Luna sighed in relief.
"Hei-ba, I appreciate it. But I won't forget that you abandoned me."
"Ugh... I really am sorry."
She thanked me, but she didn't seem to forget that I had abandoned her. This is a completely bad first impression... How did it come to this? Since it can't be helped, I'll give up and ask about something I'm curious about...
"By the way, did you drink Sis-ha's blood when you bit her? Did you turn into a vampire or something?"
"Huh? Just because I bit her, I won't turn into a vampire. Besides, I didn't drink her blood this time. I refuse her blood."
"To be refused even the chance to drink blood... That's really harsh..."
It's often said that if you're bitten by a vampire, you'll turn into one or become a servant, but it seems that's not the case here. It seems that Luna just bit Sis-ha, and didn't drink her blood. She must be quite hated if even drinking her blood is refused. She looked quite sad when she heard that. I think not being bitten is something to be happy about, but the image of a pervert who is delighted to be bitten came to mind.
"It's gotten quite noisy, hasn't it?"
"That's true... So, are we going to do the usual equipment distribution next?"
"Right, we need to prepare Luna's equipment too. ...Oh, by the way, what is Luna's job?"
I was about to start the usual equipment distribution, but I was delayed because of Sis-ha. She tends to go off the rails when she's in her natural state. I wish she could have more self-control like me.
Finally, the conversation settled down, and we started to organize the equipment. However, I had one question. I didn't know Luna's job. Usually, she would have some kind of weapon, but she didn't have anything. She must have hidden it somewhere, right?
"I'm a vampire."
"No, that's your race. What weapon do you use?"
"A spear. I'll show you."
Luna, who said she would show, bit her index finger with her sharp canine teeth, and a small drop of blood appeared on her fingertip. Then, a magic circle appeared, and a crimson spear tip gradually emerged from the center.
"Wow! That's cool!"
"So, that's Luna's weapon! It's a fine spear!"
"Right, right."
Wow, that's cool! This is it! This is the kind of thing I was looking for in magic! Nol, who was watching with me, was also excited. She seems to understand this kind of romance. Luna, seeing our reaction, nodded in satisfaction. The spear she drew out was longer than her height, with a simple design and no unnecessary decorations. She's a spear user... I heard there would be a ranged attack, so maybe she throws it?
"Oh? But don't you have another UR equipment?"
"Hmm, if you mean that, it's this."
UR characters are summoned with two UR equipment. So, Luna must have another one. When Estelle asked, Luna made a magic circle appear on the tip of her index finger, just like when she drew out the spear, and this time a black cloak came out. Luna put it on with a swish. It was fastened at the neck and covered her down to her feet. Unlike the rag I was wearing, it was quite impressive.
"I'm envious... Would you exchange it for my holy shroud?"
"What's that rag?"
"No way! To make Luna use such a rag!"
When I showed her my holy shroud and asked if she would exchange it, Luna looked at it as if it were a strange object. Even Sis-ha started calling my holy shroud a rag. I also think it's a rag, but it's my only UR equipment, so it hurts a little to be criticized so harshly.
"Ugh... Well, let's organize the other items then."
"This time, we got the highest number of items, right? I hope we get some good ones."
With Luna's confirmation complete, we put away her spear and cloak. Despite the various events, we decided to focus on organizing the equipment. This time, we got a considerable number of new SSR items. I hope we get something useful.

"Brother, what is this?"
"It's something from my world. It would be nice if it could do something, but... there are no games, so it's probably not useful right now."
The item that came out was a monitor supported by a sturdy stand. It was about 50 inches, which seemed a bit too big. It could display something when linked with a smartphone. It doesn't seem useful right now since we don't have anything to use it with...
"Is this something from Okura-sama's world?"
"Wait! Don't touch the screen! It's fragile except for the black frame! Nol might break it!"
"Wait, I wouldn't do that! That's going too far!"
I stopped Nol, who was curiously approaching and trying to touch it. If she touches the screen and breaks it, it would be a problem. She's shaking with anger, clenching her fists, but it can't be helped.
