"Hakurei Shrine Maiden and Ordinary Magician Resolve Long Winter Incident!"

"The Moriya Shrine's Wind Priestess Sanae Kochiya was also seen among their party..."

That's pretty well written. The headline has a nice feel to it too.

I'm pretty proud of this article, so, by all means, please read it to the end.

(Miss Shameimaru seem more excited than usual.)

(It's almost time for the Newspaper Tournament. It's a pretty big event for the tengu. I think she's planning to aim for the championship with that special report on the incident.)

(I see...)

Oh, it's a picture with Sanae in it! She's in the corner, but hey, baby steps to fame!

Huh? Where? Show me.

No need to make a fuss, there'll be plenty of other pictures of Sanae. Like, at the incident resolution afterparty. That sounds like it's going to be fun.

True. Not only Hakurei, but all the other humans from back then will be there too.

I guess our secondary objective of getting closer to the investigation team worked out well?

Yes, I really feel like I managed to get to know everyone better.

This is all thanks to you, Lady Yasaka and Lady Moriya. And Miss Shameimaru and Miss Inubashiri...

Eh, don't mention it. I got a good article out of it anyway.

But...

But?

I just can't get used to you calling me "Miss Shameimaru".

You're right, it's been a pretty long time since the incident last autumn, so... It's been bugging me too. You can just call me Momiji.

I can't do that! All you tengu are so much older than me...

Not a bad idea. It matches up with our ideal of getting along with youkai. Plus, it seems like it's easier for gods to get faith these days by just being frank.

What do you mean?

It means we just hang out together and have fun, without getting worked up over stuff like that.

So Sanae, you can just call us Kanako and Suwako too.

What?! I never said that!

Well, why not? I'd like to advertise how easy-to-approach you all are in my next special report.

C'mon, Sanae, try it out.

Well, if you say so, Lady Moriya.

Oops, umm...
