"Huh?"
"I changed your clothes for three days. Now it's your turn to repay me."
"Don't joke around." Shirou frowned.
So that 'a guest is coming' thing was just a lie to trick me into helping her get dressed. Garan no Dou doesn't even get one customer a month on average.
Shirou once again decided never to respond to anything Touko said—
"I wonder if Shirou-kun has recovered yet."
Footsteps came from the entrance to the office, along with the voices of Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki chatting.

Shirou hurriedly protested,
