Looking at the brilliant smile that blood on her enthusiastic subordinates' faces, Kotori popped a lollipop into her mouth, crossed her legs, and declared, "It's decided! This ti, we'll help you with the conquest!"
On my end, hearing Kotori decide for through the earpiece, I couldn't help but grumble, "Just this once, you'd better not pull any weird stunts."
As I spoke, I scanned my surroundings, trying to locate the hidden Spirit.
"Well, well?"
Just as I was about to use my detection magic, a voice suddenly called out from above.
I instinctively looked up and saw a female figure who had appeared on a nearby roof. Even with the dazzling light behind her, I recognized her witch-like appearance, straight out of a fairy tale.
It was none other than Natsumi Kyouno—the Spirit who could switch between a teasing older-sister type and a child-like girl.
"How rare. To think I'd find a human here besides the AST," Natsumi giggled before leaping down from the roof, landing gracefully in front of .
In her adult form, Natsumi wore a pointed hat inlaid with an erald, a purple bodysuit with a hexagram pattern, and a cape with a copper-colored trim. Her slender limbs and full bust created perfect proportions that would make a pin-up model jealous.
Her long, lustrous orange hair spilled out from under the wide-brimd hat, and her captivating erald eyes watched with keen interest.
"Oh?" As Natsumi leaned in close, I twitched my nose slightly, taking in her feminine scent.
Instead of being offended, Natsumi seed amused by my reaction. She reached out, lifted my chin, and giggled again. "Hehe, you're quite a handso little brother."
"Can you tell how you got here? The Spacequake alarm just went off, you know."
Having my chin lifted by her, my playful expression froze. I was utterly speechless.
'Am I being... hit on?!'
At that thought, I smoothly reversed the gesture, catching her delicate hand in mine. "That's..."
However, just as I was about to reply, Kotori's voice crackled in my ear. "Wait a minute, Kyoya! Look at the options before you answer!"

At that mont, the main screen in the Fraxinus command room showed a live feed of Natsumi and , with a pop-up window displaying three choices for how to proceed with the Spirit conquest. Latest content published on novel•fire
[1 - There's only one reason. I ca here just to see you.]
[2 - I... I don't know anything! I didn't have ti to escape. When I ca to, I was just here.]
[3 - Can you let grope your breasts first?]
"All personnel, begin your selection!" Kotori shouted from the captain's seat. Below her, the so-called "outstanding elites" imdiately cast their votes.
Three seconds later, the results appeared. The votes for options 1 and 2 were neck and neck.
Option 3, unsurprisingly, received zero...
"Hmm... a tie. I didn't expect that," Kotori said, swaying the lollipop in her mouth.
Nakatsugawa, the self-proclaid "Dinsion Breaker," snapped his fingers sharply. "It's obviously 1! When you don't know her personality, the other options are too risky."
Masaomi Mikimoto imdiately retorted, "No! It has to be 2! This Spirit is the big sister type! Playing the helpless little brother will trigger her protective instincts! That's the best answer."
Shiizaki made an "Ah, ah, ah" sound of agreent.
"I see, that's not without reason... But I'm surprised option 3 got no votes at all."
"I thought you, of all people, Kyouhei, would have picked it," Kotori said, glancing over her shoulder.
There, a handso blonde man stood with a serious expression. "How could I, Commander? I am always serious."
"Mm... and the truth is?"
"If the option had been [Please allow to lick your high heels], I might have been a little conflicted."
The rest of the crew: "....."
Kotori silently snapped her fingers. Instantly, two burly n appeared and escorted Kyouhei away.
"NO———Commander!"
After Kyouhei's fading voice disappeared, Kotori finally activated the microphone to my earpiece. "Kyoya, choose 2. Rember to look as teary-eyed and pitiful as possible."
Hearing this, my eye twitched. "Can I choose none of them? This is super embarrassing..."
"No!" Kotori decisively rejected my request. "Don't worry! When it cos to dating, we're professionals!"
'Professionals, my ass!' I complained inwardly.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Seeing my expression shift, Natsumi tilted her head, confused. However, as she felt the warmth of my hand and my thumb caressing her palm, her heart skipped a beat, and a hint of shyness flickered in her eyes.
Pulled back to reality, I had no choice but to follow Kotori's instructions and unleash my superb acting skills.
The next mont, I squeezed Natsumi's slender hand, looking at her with wide, innocent eyes as my lips trembled slightly. "Th-That is... I... I don't know anything! I didn't have ti to escape. When I ca to, I was just... here."
"!!!!!"
Staring into my watery eyes, Natsumi's own eyes widened as a blush stained her cheeks.
Noticing the change in her expression, I remained calm on the surface while gloating inwardly.
'Hehe, my acting skills are on par with any A-list actor!'
Looking deeply at , Natsumi's lips curled into a smile. "Oh... is that so? What's your na?"
"My na is Hibari Kyoya."
"Hibari Kyoya... Then I'll just call you Kyoya. You're so cute."
"May I ask your na...?"
Hearing my question, Natsumi flashed a cute smile of her own. "I'm Natsumi Kyouno. But they seem to call 'Witch.' You can just call Natsumi."
"Natsumi," I murmured, gently caressing her delicate hand as I spoke her na.
