On the other side, I had already brought Tohka back ho.
However, upon seeing the beer cans and snack bags scattered across the table, my smile instantly froze.
'Nia!!!'
'This is definitely the handiwork of that useless Spirit again!'
"Hey~ Tohka, that Astral Dress of yours is too conspicuous. How about changing into this?" As I spoke, I took out my phone from my pocket.
It was the full-body photo of Shiori I had taken earlier; the screen also displayed her in her school uniform.
"Otherwise, you'll definitely attract the attention of those cha girls from the AST again."
Hearing about those troubleso AST mbers, Tohka's brow furrowed slightly.
Then, her eyes widened as she observed the girl's attire in my phone. Tohka nodded.
Although she felt this outfit wasn't as beautiful as her Astral Dress, to avoid trouble, she still obediently changed.
The next second, the armored Astral Dress on her body suddenly flickered with a deep purple light.
After the light dissipated, I looked Tohka up and down—now wearing the Raizen High School girls' uniform—and praised her. "As expected of Tohka! No matter what clothes you wear, you're always so cute and beautiful!"
Hearing my words, Tohka's face instantly flushed a shade of red.
———
For so reason, Nia Honjou, who usually lazed around at ho, wasn't there today.
At this mont, only Tohka and I were ho.
Afterward, to pass the ti, I opened the refrigerator, took out a table full of snacks, and started feasting with Tohka.
Just then, the phone in my hand suddenly vibrated. Seeing the unfamiliar phone number, I curiously answered the call.
As soon as I answered, a deafening voice blasted my eardrums, making quickly move the phone away from my ear.
"Kyoya! Where the hell did you go?! Why did you suddenly turn off your phone?!" Hearing Kotori's enraged roar from the other end, I looked at my phone helplessly.
"Oh, it's Kotori-chan! I was wondering who it was! I'm at ho right now. What do you need?"
"You're ho?"
"Yeah!"
"Damn it! Then where's Princess? Why did she suddenly disappear? Did she return to the neighboring world?"
Hearing this, I looked up at Tohka, who was in front of the TV, furiously devouring food. "She's with ."
"HUH?!" Kotori Itsuka on the other end of the line was instantly bewildered.
"Don't tell ... Princess is at our house?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Towards my perfectly reasonable tone, Kotori Itsuka could only sigh deeply.
"Never mind. Just try to appease Princess as much as possible. Don't let her lose control of her emotions and cause destruction again. We'll be right back." Saying this, Kotori hung up the phone.
Hearing the "beep beep beep" from the phone, I couldn't help but shake my head.
Glancing at Tohka, who had finished a table full of snacks and was now sitting contentedly on the sofa, rubbing her half-full stomach—
I picked up a napkin, reached out, and wiped the crumbs and oil stains from her mouth.
"Tohka, I'll introduce you to a few friends later. You need to control your Reiryoku properly, okay? Don't scare them!"
"Mmph~ I know!" Tohka obediently nodded her head, listening to my words very seriously.
———
Just a few minutes later, the sound of a door opening echoed.
I followed the sound and looked.
"Kotori-chan and Reine-chan are back!"
Kotori Itsuka, dressed as a commander, and Reine Murasa, wearing her perpetually unchanged work uniform with a worn-out little panda doll in her chest pocket, had arrived in the living room.
However, seeing Tohka's wary expression, I took her hand and comforted her with a smile. "Don't be nervous. This is Kotori Itsuka, and the other one is Reine Murasa. You can just call them by their nas."
"Oh~ Hello, my na is Tohka. Yatogami Tohka. Not the Princess you speak of!" The well-behaved Tohka tightly hugged my arm, nodded her head, and simply greeted the two of them.
"Tohka? That's a very nice na." Tohka's self-introduction caught Reine Murasa's attention.
Simultaneously, Reine looked at , a strange light flickering in her eyes.
'This guy...'
'Just two encounters, and he already successfully conquered Princess?'
———
"Yep! It's the na Kyoya gave ! What do you think? Isn't it a wonderful na? Hee hee, looks like the na Kyoya gave really is good!"
Being praised for her na made Tohka quite happy. After all, her disposition was no different from a child's; she needed praise and recognition.
Glancing at Tohka, who was hugging my arm with a beaming smile, Kotori Itsuka felt a faint pang of jealousy. She pointed at the food scraps on the dining table.
"So, I told you to conquer the Spirit, and you brought her ho to eat instead?"
"Is there a problem?" I was a bit puzzled by this.
"Of course, there's sothing wrong! You jerk!" Kotori glared at fiercely.
"I told you to go on a date with her, not bring her to your ho for dinner! I even assembled Ratatoskr's finest to help you, and you just ignored us. What's the aning of this?!"
Ignoring the fuming Kotori, my gaze fell on Tohka.
"Tohka, you also want to integrate into human society and experience the joys and novelties of human interaction, right?"
"Mm!" She nodded without hesitation. However, the next mont, the joy on Tohka's face vanished, replaced by a deep sense of loss.
"But I'm a Spirit. I can't live in your human world. Perhaps in a little while, I'll have to disappear and return to that place where there's nothing. So..."
Hearing this, I ruffled Tohka's small head. "In that case, let's make a pact!"
With that, I wrapped my arm around Tohka's waist and kissed her delicate red lips.
Seeing this, Tohka's eyes closed slightly, her tender little face turning a shade of crimson.
When they separated this ti, she found that her connection to the desolate space where she had previously existed had been severed.
Not only that, using the power of the [Suniaster], I simultaneously added a layer of protection for Tohka and the other girls—
Of course, I also erased any improper thoughts other n might have towards them.
"Tohka, from now on, you don't have to worry about your Spirit identity anymore. You can live a carefree life with . Besides, you're not the only Spirit by my side, you know!"
As I spoke, I gave Kotori Itsuka and Reine Murasa, who was beside her, a aningful look.
