Faced with Miku's question, Souta thought for a mont and said:
"Now that Takamiya Mio has her sights set on you, if you go back too, we'll almost certainly end up in a fight with her.
Unless you stay away from ho and keep hiding, it's unavoidable.
So, staying at my place is actually the safer option."
"Hmm… Okay. I'll listen to Darling."
Miku suppressed her desire to follow him and put on an obedient expression.
Souta patted her head and smiled:
"Don't worry. Once I confirm it's safe, I'll text you to co back. If you're bored, try watching Date A Live, it's a story about you Spirits."
"No, I'm not watching that." Miku shook her head slightly.
"Hmm?" Souta was intrigued. "Why not?"
"You ntioned it before, right? That story's about the male lead romancing and the other girls?"
Miku hugged Souta's arm and giggled softly.
"Now I only like you, Darling. Why would I want to watch a story where I fall for so other guy? That's just an, I'm not watching it."
"Alright then. If not Date A Live, maybe check out the series where White Night Demon appears."
Souta suggested:
"The manga info from Nia Honjou isn't very complete. You've t White Night Demon before, right? If you're curious, the related series might help."
Suddenly, Miku's expression froze.
She even shivered a little.
"Uh… Did White Night Demon do sothing to you?" Souta's expression turned odd.
"Darling, that ability you ntioned, getting one of soone's powers once their affection hits a certain level… can I use it too?"
Miku didn't answer the question instead, she asked her own.
"That's a group owner privilege," Souta shook his head. "You can't use it."
"What a sha…" Miku sighed. "If I could, I'd cozy up to Kurumi-san and get her ti control ability."
"Why would you want ti control?"
"To defend myself from ti stops!"
Miku looked at Souta, frustration in her tone:
"Darling, have you ever had the experience of being frozen in ti, while your mind stayed active watching helplessly as soone did this and that to your body?"
"…"
Souta could more or less guess what had happened.
He hugged her and gently said:
"You've had a tough ti. Stay away from White Night Demon in the future. Her standards are even lower than I thought, what a degenerate!"
But in his heart… he wasn't quite saying the sa thing.
White Night Demon might be shaless and lack all restraint, but she was surprisingly effective.
After all, hadn't she just cured Miku's yuri tendencies?
Though Souta wasn't sure how long that cure would last…
He briefly considered: if Miku ever "relapsed," should he cosplay as White Night Demon and follow the sa procedure to "treat" her…?
No! That's way too shaless! Let's save it on a good occasion...
He quickly suppressed the thought.
After all, he wasn't that much of a demon.
"You be careful too, Darling. It was very humiliating."
Miku snuggled closer to Souta and warned him seriously.
"?" Souta shrugged. "Relax. White Night Demon's only interested in girls. Even if I streaked naked in front of her, she'd maybe look out of curiosity, but that's it."
"No, not her."
Miku corrected him:
"I'm talking about Kurumi-san.
Didn't we just talk in the group? She's about to surpass Mio.
Are you sure she won't stop your ti and… tease you a little?
After all…"
Miku smirked mischievously.
"You did flirt with her, didn't you?"
"…"
Hearing that, Souta imdiately made a ntal note.
Gods were immune to ti-stopping effects, but not absolutely.
If Kurumi, in her evolved form, used a massive amount of spirit energy to load a shot of her "Seventh Bullet" and fired it at him… he'd be in trouble.
She'd already ntioned his potential for cross-dressing twice.
And in the original story, she had complinted Shido's girl look.
Which ant, she totally had a thing for that.
Combine that with ti stop… Souta could feel his dignity being threatened!
'I need to stay alert! If she ever raises her gun, teleport imdiately!
And I'll need to blackmail her with the Four Heavenly Kings' dark secrets, make her hesitate.
Also… I need to get stronger, fast!'
Three plans instantly ford in his head.
Of course, none of that showed on his face.
He simply replied to Miku with a calm smile:
"Don't worry, Kurumi's not that kind of girl."
"Enough talk. Let's drink our coffee. After that, I'll take you to my place and show you sothing really cool."
"Hmm?" Miku felt like his tone was… oddly suspicious.
Souta just smiled and brought her a cappuccino.
…
After taking Miku back to his apartnt, Souta didn't waste ti, he headed to the Date A Live world.
Miku had already invited him in, so even though she wasn't in her world at the mont, as long as Souta thought of her during the transfer, he wouldn't end up near Kurumi.
It would just send him to a random location.
His feet hit solid ground and he found himself on an overpass.
Below, cars zood by.
Noise surrounded him, the city was as bustling as ever.
Souta scanned with his spiritual sense and, sensing no trace of Takamiya Mio nearby, relaxed.
He hadn't fought her yet, so he didn't know if he could actually take her.
Mio's territory could casually cover an area larger than Earth. Never mind her two other "Angels" just one of them, compressed and used at full power, could probably overwhelm him.
Even though the current "Mommy Mio" had been nerfed, Souta had no idea just how much.
So he had to stay cautious.
"Let's find Origami first, see how she's doing."
He glanced at his system phone's date.
Yup, this was the tiline after Shiori Itsuka and Origami had returned from the past.
"Two sets of mories for Origami… I wonder if they've rged, or if she's still split between two personalities?"
Souta suddenly recalled little Origami.
Since it was Sunday, the City's public high school would be closed. No point going there.
Instead, Souta spent so divine power to calculate her location.
"Found her."
He looked southeast, roughly gauging Origami's distance.
Then he gradually lowered his presence using divine power fading from public perception and teleported away.
