With that, I smiled and explained. "Now that Origami's inner demons have been dispelled, I doubt she'll be targeting Spirits with the same hostility."

"So, everyone needs to get along with Origami!"

"Wuu~ Okay, I'll listen to Kyoya!" Tohka replied, a bit reluctantly, but she still nodded.

I patted her head, satisfied. "Good girl, Tohka. I'll treat you to a grand dinner tonight as a reward!"

Tohka, enjoying the affection, hugged me in response.

"Tch! I see you, you Hentai with a one-track mind! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You're clearly just after Origami!"

Suddenly, an ill-timed voice interjected.

Following the sound, Kotori glared at me with utter disdain, as if looking at garbage.

Hearing Kotori's complaint, the other girls' gazes towards me grew increasingly strange.

I did have a track record, after all...

'From our very first meeting, he was spouting nonsense about being taken with the Spirit girls and wanting to give them a home.'

'And coincidentally, Origami did indeed become a Spirit in the future.'

'So... he really was planning to make a move on her!'

"Kotori-chan, don't talk nonsense! I'll sue you for slander! What I did was an act of salvation!" I retorted, still feigning virtue despite the numerous strange looks I was receiving.

After hearing me, Tohka, Shiori, Nia, and the other girls were silent for a long time, finally saying in unison, "As expected of you."

With that, they shot me a look that screamed, 'Kyoya, you're really pushing it.'

I replied with dissatisfaction. "What's that supposed to mean?? I'm a faithful good man!!"

The girls, however, showed expressions that clearly said, 'Go on, keep talking. We're listening to your excuses.'

———

"But, why did Kotori hide the fact that she's a Spirit?" Suddenly remembering something, Tohka turned her head and looked at Kotori, puzzled.

Hearing this, Kotori's expression froze. Unsure how to explain, she could only offer an awkward, sheepish grin.

"Well~ Perhaps Kotori-chan has her reasons! Let's not delve too deep," I finally interjected, saving her.

However, the next second, I feigned an "indignant" expression and complained. "It's all Mio Takamiya's fault! For her dead lover, she caused so many tragedies! She's done nothing but bad things!"

"And... doesn't she know that while yuri is infinitely good, it's a shame you can't have children?"

"Shiori, Reine, what do you think??" I tossed the question to them without warning, a mischievous glint in my eyes.

"Eh? You're asking me??" For a moment, Shiori didn't react, unsure why she was being asked.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke. "Mm... It is a bit much. After all, she disregarded others' feelings and brought such great disaster to innocent people!"

Reine Murasame (Mio Takamiya): "..."

What else could Reine say to this? She could only silently agree...

Afterward, to welcome Yoshino and Yoshinon, everyone celebrated heartily.

The next day, I stretched comfortably, sighing with emotion. 'Today is another day of helping a fallen girl.'

Perhaps because I had woken up early today, Tohka and the other girls weren't up yet. After some thought, I walked into the kitchen.

A dozen minutes later, Tohka, following the aroma, floated out of her room and into the kitchen.

When she noticed that the person wearing the apron today was me, her expression showed a slight surprise. "Kyoya, are you making breakfast today? I didn't expect you to be up early."

Hearing this, I cleared my throat and said seriously. "What's that supposed to mean! Are you implying I usually like to sleep in??"

Not understanding the meaning behind my words, Tohka touched her lips with a finger, looking endearingly clueless. "Mm... Kyoya always oversleeps and then gets forcefully woken up by Kotori."

Seeing this gluttonous princess show me no face, I directly took a pink rice dumpling and fed it into her mouth. 'Let's see if I can shut your mouth with food!'

However, watching Tohka eat the rice dumpling, then lick the syrup trickling from her lips, made my heart itch unbearably.

Then I picked up a small bowl of pink rice dumplings and said, "Tohka, I want to eat rice dumplings too!"

"Then eat~"

———

As the girls got up one after another, seeing me preparing breakfast, their expressions were somewhat surprised.

Kotori, in particular, looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Mm~ Has the sun risen from the west? The big lazy bug got up early today and even made breakfast?!"

Hearing this, I shot her an eye-roll. 'I'm a magnanimous person; I won't stoop to a Loli's level.'

Nia picked up a bowl of rice dumplings and tried one, her eyes lighting up. "Yo, this is quite delicious! Not bad skills, Kyoya!"

"Eh~ Don't praise me, I'm just a dabbler in cooking!" I had originally wanted to be low-key, but my strength didn't allow it!

Since mastering [A Thousand Arts], learning anything was a breeze for me.

Thus, I was able to develop good cooking skills.

'What's that saying? To capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.'

"Tch! I Give you an inch and you take a mile."

Kotori also picked up a bowl of rice dumplings and took a bite. Instantly conquered by the deliciousness, she still retorted with a sharp tongue—

"Kotori-chan, just you wait. When you turn 16, see how I discipline you!" Hearing Kotori's complaint, I directly shot back a threat.

"Pah! You pervert, lecher, rogue, Lolicon..." Hearing my "threat," Kotori's face turned beet red as she shouted.

She even clamored about calling the police and having me thrown in jail.

Subsequently, everyone ate breakfast amidst laughter and went to school together.
