Noticing my playful gaze, Kotori Itsuka pouted internally.
However, Kotori didn't notice the subtle look I gave Reine. But Reine Murasa felt it clearly.
Although she was glad that during the half-month she had spent with , I hadn't revealed her identity to Kotori—
But... she was still very flustered at this mont!
"Really?" Tohka looked at curiously, a hint of jealousy creeping into her heart upon hearing that there were other Spirits at my house.
Of course, more than that, she was curious. She looked at Kotori Itsuka and Reine Murasa, wanting to know which one was her companion.
"Hey~ Kyoya, you said there are other Spirits by your side. Is it Kotori? Or Reine?" Tohka's beautiful purple eyes showed a puzzled look as she scanned Kotori and Reine up and down, as if trying to see through their Spirit identities.
Being scrutinized by Tohka... Kotori and Reine felt awkward.
At this mont, both had their own little sches in mind, their eyes darting around, not daring to et Tohka's gaze, afraid of their identities being exposed.
———
Coincidentally, just as I was about to speak, Nia Honjou's voice ca from outside the door.
"Kyoya! It's already noon! Haven't you made us any food yet?"
Following the voice, two girls walked in from the entrance hallway.
One was Shiori Itsuka, dressed identically to Tohka in a Raizen High School girls' uniform, with long blue hair and light brown eyes.
The other was Nia Honjou.
As soon as the two girls walked into the living room, they imdiately noticed Tohka, who was unfamiliar to them, besides myself, Reine Murasa, and Kotori Itsuka, whom they recognized.
Seeing the unfamiliar girl, Nia, as if having discovered sothing interesting, revealed a wide, knowing smile. "Kyoya, Kotori and the others told you to find a Spirit, yet you brought back a girl. Could it be... she's your girlfriend? Wow~ Kyoya, you're so bold!"
"Are you stupid?" Before I could speak, Kotori Itsuka, standing to the side, shot this airheaded otaku Spirit a dissatisfied look.
"Can't you see she's one of your kind, you dummy?"
"My kind?" Nia's eyes instantly lit up, her gaze fixed on Tohka beside . She pushed up her glasses, her face filled with confusion. "You're also a Spirit?"
"Who are they?" Tohka didn't answer Nia's question.
Instead, upon seeing Nia Honjou and Shiori Itsuka, a sense of jealousy and crisis arose in her heart.
"This is Kotori-chan's older sister, Shiori Itsuka!" Patting Tohka's head, I then pointed towards Nia Honjou and said, "As for her, she's the one I ntioned earlier—Nia Honjou, a Spirit just like you."
"She's also a Spirit?" Tohka looked back at Nia Honjou, carefully observing her for a long ti, before finally speaking. "But she looks so weak. She doesn't look like a Spirit at all!"
"..." Being questioned by Tohka about her Spirit identity, Nia Honjou was instantly hit hard.
"Hey, hey, Spirit girl! What's with that look? I'm just not good at fighting. That doesn't an I'm not a Spirit!"
I shot Nia a look and said, my lips curving into a slight smirk. "Tohka, Nia really is a Spirit. Just a powerless, useless one."
Hearing my complaint, Nia Honjou instantly petrified on the spot.
"Wuuu~ Kyoya, please don't say it out loud! Don't you know you'll hurt my heart by saying that!"
Saying this, Nia directly buried herself in Shiori's embrace and wept, trying to get so comfort.
Watching Nia's dramatic act, everyone's mouths twitched, speechless.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, I snapped my fingers lightly at Nia, who was pretending to cry.
"Look at you, becoming such a shut-in lately. I'm confiscating your phone for the ti being!"
Hearing my voice, Nia looked up and saw the phone I had originally given her was now in my hand.
Panicked, Nia Honjou imdiately rushed over to , hugging my arm and starting to cry shalessly.
"Waaah~ Kyoya, please give my phone back! I was wrong! I won't make you angry again! My manga, my novels, my gas! I can't live without my phone! Waaaaah..."
Feeling a pair of A-cups rubbing against my arm, I glanced at Nia Honjou, feigning sympathy. "Aww, you poor thing. You really want your phone back?"
"Mhm, mhm, mhm." Hearing this, Nia's eyes lit up. She felt there was a ninety percent chance she'd get her phone back and nodded excitedly.
However, my next words, spoken with a smile, instantly crushed her hopes. "Dream on! In your dreams, you can have anything!"
Teased by and rejected again, Nia could no longer withstand the blow and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah..."
Ignoring the over-the-top Nia, I turned my gaze toward the naturally airheaded beauty, Reine Murasa.
The next mont, without any hesitation, I pushed Tohka in front of Reine.
"Tohka, I'm going to make lunch now. If you don't understand anything during this ti, you can ask Reine. Of course, Kotori-chan and Shiori are fine too."
"But don't ask Nia. She may look harmless, but she's a very evil Spirit who's skilled at deceiving innocent girls, then killing countless Spirits with cruel thods."
Kotori: "..."
Shiori: "..."
Reine: "..."
Hearing my slander against Nia, Kotori and Shiori were speechless.
However, Reine Murasa didn't think so. Her gaze towards flickered with helplessness and strangeness.
Even though Reine didn't speak, she deeply cared about my words describing Nia. 'I highly suspect you're insulting indirectly, but I have no proof...'
———
As for Nia Honjou, she was completely bewildered by my words.
'... deceiving innocent girls?!'
'Using cruel thods to kill countless Spirits, the most evil Spirit?!'
Since obtaining a Sephira Crystal and becoming a Spirit, she had always been cautious. Forget about killing humans or Spirits, she hadn't even killed a small animal!
However, the innocent and naive Tohka completely believed my words, turning pale with fright.
Then, based on instinct, she summoned her Angel, Sandalphon, pointed it directly at Nia Honjou, and said with a serious expression.
"Kyoya, should I just eliminate her?"
"Wait, wait, wait..." Nia Honjou, being pointed at by Tohka with her Angel, was instantly dumbfounded. She felt completely flustered and hurriedly tried to defend herself.
"Girl~ Don't believe Kyoya's words! I'm just a combat rookie! I've never killed anyone, let alone a Spirit! So quickly put away that scary weapon of yours!"
"Hmph! Kyoya just said you're a liar! I won't be tricked by you!"
Hearing Tohka not believing her, Nia could only look at with pleading eyes, begging for help.
Witnessing this scene, I couldn't bear to bully this stupid Spirit anymore.
"Alright, Tohka, put away your Angel! I was just kidding earlier."
"You two get to know each other and chat for a bit. I'm going to make food!" Saying this, ignoring Nia's resentful little gaze, I walked straight into the kitchen.
———
A few minutes later, cheers of girls echoed from the living room. Tohka, Shiori, and Nia—the four girls—were getting along very harmoniously.
After I finished making lunch, I specially prepared a half-table full of luxurious feast just for Tohka.
As for myself and the other four girls including Kotori—we ate the other half of the lunch.
After all, to welco Tohka, she deserved to enjoy a feast.
Besides... Tohka really could eat a lot!
