Monday, October, 16.

At school, Tobiichi Origami was sitting on her assigned seat made a soft sigh.

“................”

She had hair that tickled the tip of her shoulders, a slender body, and an unperceivable doll-like face.

But if one was close to her, they might notice the slightly gloomy face Origami was making right now. The reason was simple.

Yesterday evening. A spacequake omen was observed in the outskirts of Tenguu city and the evacuation announcement was proclaimed nearby.

Which means------------the appearance of a Spirit. The AST members moved out promptly and attacked the Spirit.

However, without being added into the AST member operation team, Origami obeyed the alarm and went to the shelter with everyone and could only wait for the Spirit’s threat to disperse.

Impatient. Irritated. In spite having the power to pull a trigger, she was not permitted to do so.

That was the reason of the slight discord on Origami’s usually flat expression.

Nonetheless, it was something inevitable.

Last month, she used the annihilation armor <White Licorice> enshrined in the hangar without permission and attacked friendly troops. In the end, she pointed her fangs towards the DEM wizards that were wearing irregular equipment.

As a result, during the time before her punishment, Origami was put into a light house arrest state and was prohibited from using any AST related equipment.

Naturally, on top of the original unarguable punishment, she was in a state where she was sentenced with several criminal penalties. But, because it was an irrational action in relation to DEM this time from the other side, there were many voices protecting Origami inside the JGSDF so the discussion regarding the decision of her punishment were dragged on. Considering this, it could be said Origami was once again blessed with fortune.

However, if that was the only thing needed to dispel Origami’s disposition, then that might not be the case. Different from the previous reason, there was one more. There was an event occurrence that made Origami’s feelings discomposed.

“Shidou........”

Origami mumbled in a soft voice where no one could hear it, and looked right.

Yes. Origami’s right seat was still empty.

Origami’s most beloved person, Itsuka Shidou’s seat.

There was still time for morning homeroom. It was not like Shidou’s absence was fixed.

But.............Origami has one pending matter.

She quietly left her seat, and stood in front of----------the seat further right of Shidou’s seat

“Nu?”

Like that, the girl that sat over there probably noticed Origami’s existence and while releasing a doubtful voice, she looked over with unpleasant eyes.

“..........What is with you, something you want?”

The girl--------Yatogami Tohka sent a glare toward Origami while saying that.

Origami’s pending matter was this girl’s existence. In a somewhat unpleasant way, since this girl’s house was nearby Shidou’s, they happened to come to school together a lot.

“Shidou hasn’t come yet?”

When Origami asked, Tohka [Muu] distorted her expression [Tsuun!] before turning the other way.

“Fuun! I won’t tell you that Shidou had something to do right now and is going to be a little late!”

“................”

Looks like, Shidou has something to do right now and is going to be late a little.

If that is the case, overstaying is useless. Origami silently returned to her seat. Originally, there was no reason to have a conversation with Yatogami Tohka unless it was needed to.

Probably getting angry from Origami’s attitude, Tohka [Beeh] brought out her tongue. In every direction of the classroom, everyone else looked at the sequence with tired familiarity.

Then the classroom door opened and a young man entered.

And, at that moment.

With handsome facial features and kind eyes. Yes. It was Origami’s lover, Itsuka Shidou.

“! Oooh shidou!”

Origami looked at Tohka with annoyance, while Tohka’s expression completely changed as she stood up from her seat after raising her bouncy voice.

When she did that, Shidou twitched his eyebrows as if he noticed, and Tohka walked over to him.

“You were fast! Is your things to do done?"

“Aah, thanks to you. More importantly, may I have a moment?”

“Nu? What is it?”

Tohka tilted her head. When she did that, Shidou made a gentle smile, threw the bag he was holding to the ground, and used his freed hands and *mukyuu* grabbed Tohka’s breast.

“Mu..........? Hnn......”

Tohka was blank for a while because she did not understand what happened and...

“Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha........What are you doing!?”

Her face was flushed red in one beat and Tohka released her fist towards Shidou’s face.

“Otto!”

However, after Shidou dodged Tohka’s attack with magnificent body handling, he alternately closed and opened his fist as if to think over the feeling the breast he was enjoying just now.

“Iyaa--, that was some splendid breasts! The feeling of fondling a natural airhead is different.”

“Wha-wha..........!”

“This time, for one round, is it okay if I fondle directly? I will be gentle too.”

“Wha-what are you saying! Are you joking!?”

Tohka said in bewilderment as she held down her chest with both her hands, her cheeks as red as a tomato.

Seemingly, as if they happened to hear the commotion, the team of three girls that were chatting in the nearby desk surrounded Tohka and glared at Shidou.

Yamabuki Ai, Hazakura Mai, Fujibakama Mii. They were Tohka’s good friends and the famous female trio of 2nd year class 4.

“Wait a second Itsuka-kun, what are you thinking suddenly!?”

“That’s a normal crime though!”

“Should I pluck your darn fruits off you basstaarrdd!"

Coming from each mouth, they lined criticisms against him.

But, after Shidou shrug his shoulders as if he wasn't really bothered by them, he took Ai’s hands that was near him with elegant movements and pushed her back to the wall. Then, he used his other hand and lifted Ai’s chin up.

“I understand you want to be looked after. But, don’t shout so much. Should I seal those lips of yours?”

“Eeh........!?”

From Shidou’s sudden counter-attack, Ai opened her eyes wide and her body stiffened. Mai and Mii were also shocked at the unexpected events and were dumbfounded, forgetting to stop Shidou.

Shidou *fufu* distorted his mouth into a fearless look and, while lifting Ai’s face up, brought his lips closer.

“Ya-yaaa.........! I have Kishiwada-kun.......!”

Even though Ai attempted to stop him, Shidou didn’t stop. He slowly filled in both of their gaps and---------Ai was stiffening her body while closing her eyes tightly.

Shidou made a mischievous smile, brought his lips closer to Ai’s ears, and *fuu* blew softly.

“Ha-hanyaaa......”

Her knees were *Gaku**gaku* swinging and Ai collapsed on the spot.

And as if they finally coming back to their senses, Mai and Mii twitched their shoulders.

“Ah, Ai!”

“Damn you, how dare you do that to Ai!?”

They said that, and faced toward Shidou with stern expressions.

However, at that moment, after Shidou lowered his posture and grabbed both Mai and Mii skirts with his right and left hands respectively, he then flip it up just like that. The guys in the class [Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh!] became lively and Mai and Mii pressed down their skirts in panic.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

“Wha-What are you doing!”

“Hahaha, both of you sure are wearing some cute underwear! By all means, let me appreciate them next time in bed.”

“”Wha......!?””

Mai’s and Mii’s faces blushed red.

After Shidou said [Adieu] with two fingers standing up in a snobby gesture, he passed through the gap between Mai and the rest with light body movements and exited the classroom.

“........Shidou?”

Within the disconcerted classroom, Origami slightly raised her eyebrows.

“Fuuaaaaa........”

While spilling out loud yawn, Shidou walked in the Raizen high school’s corridor.

It seemed the chime signaling the end of 4th period had already rang; female students moving with their bentos and guys dashing towards the school canteen could be seen. Shidou scratched his cheeks while grumbling to himself.

“It’s already lunch break ..........I came here quite late huh?”

Yes, an emergency countermeasure meeting was opened yesterday in <Fraxinus> and Shidou was required to attend. Originally, it was not a type of meeting that would end deep into the night. But this time, since Natsumi’s ability and intentions could not be grasped at all and because of the remark she left behind could cause some kind of danger to Shidou when he headed back, the time taken was longer than usual.

Although he did take a nap just in case, it didn’t take all the drowsiness away completely. He scratched his eye with the back of his hand while sighing once more.

But-----------the moment he climbed up the stairs and opened his classroom door, Shidou’s drowsiness completely disappeared.

“..................!!”

That was because all the students directed their sights towards Shidou all at once when he entered the classroom.

Shidou twitched his shoulders and looked around in discomfort.

“Eh........? Wha-what? What happened, everyone........?”

Having no idea what was going on, sweat flowed down Shidou’s cheeks. Gathered in the corner of the classroom, Ai, Mai, and Mii’s eyes glittered and approached Shidou’s direction with quick movements.

“How dare you come back here shamelessly, Itsuka Shidooooouuuu!?”

“You should know what you have done!”

“Through the sense of pain, we will make sure you regret you were born!”

Each one of them said that and surrounded Shidou, and [Guruuuuuu........] growled like wolves.

Shidou’s body froze on reflex. It was not the first time he was yelled at by these three girls but there was nothing that came to mind today that could have set them off. Rather, judging from the way these girls spoke, it was like they were saying Shidou came to class a little while ago and had done a terrible deed.

“Wai-wai-wait a second! Why on earth are you all that angry!?”

While Shidou spread out his hands to calm Ai, Mai, and Mii who suddenly stood up against him, wondering what they were unhappy about, the girls raised their voices and approached Shidou.

“It’s useless even if you play innocent!”

“That’s right! We have many eyewitnesses!”

“This sakura blizzard, I won’t let you say you had forgotten about it!”

Ai used her right hand and made an unlady-like hand sign, Mai spreads her hands to show everyone in the classroom, and Mii made a gesture to expose her shoulders, but in the end she stopped.

However, even though they said that, he had nothing that came to mind. He made his eyebrows into a 八 kanji shape[8B 1]. while looking around to seek help.

As if to respond to that, he heard a familiar voice coming behind Ai, Mai, and Mii.

“You three, may I have a moment?”

“! Tohka!”

Shidou’s expression brightened and called out the owner of that voice.

Tohka made a へkanji[8B 2]?with her mouth while passing through the gap between Ai and Mai, and walked until she was in front of Shidou. After Shidou made a relieved sigh, he faced Tohka and asked:

“You saved me Tohka. What happened to these girls? Even though I just got to school-----------“

Tohka’s cheeks blushed *posu*, and she hit Shidou’s stomach.

“..............Why did you suddenly do something like that? Err, how should I put this........that scared me!”

“Heh......? wha-what are you saying, Tohka....? I didn’t--------“

“......What?”

When Shidou answered honestly, Tohka brought her eyebrows closer and made a stern expression before tears accumulated in her eyes while she continuously hit Shidou’s chest.

“Wah, wha-what is with you Tohka? That hurts..........”

“Shut up! I misjudged you shidou! Even though I would forgive you, it was unwilling for me. Why are you not accepting the things you had done!?”

“No, what do you mean by that!?”

“..........! Tha-that is............er, that, m-my............”

When Tohka was hesitating to say, her red face turned even redder and she looked downwards.

Seeing Tohka like that, Ai, Mai, and Mii hugged her.

“It’s okay! It’s okay Tohka-chan!”

“Not only did he deny his crimes, to think he would make the victim experience a flashback!”

“There isn’t even a hell for you to fall into!”

“No, that’s why! What are you all talking about!?”

Unable to stand it, Shidou raised a shout.

And at that moment, Shidou’s right wrist was grabbed.

“Eh?”

Over there, appearing out of nowhere, Miss-Tobiichi Origami was standing there. With calm gaze but a light of intention could be felt deep inside, she stared at Shidou.

“O-Origami? Don’t tell me I did something to you too........?”

As Shidou asked her fearfully, Origami cast her eyes down and shook her head.

“Nothing.”

“I-I see..........”

From Origami’s reply, Shidou released the strength in his right hand made by the nervousness and made a sigh.

But, after Origami silently pulled her hands, she plunged Shidou’s hands into her blouse she unbuttoned beforehand, pushing it to her breast.

“Aguayaaa!?”

From the sudden sensation, Shidou made a sound that had never come out before exit from his throat.

Even though he hurried and tried to pull his hand, she held his wrist tightly,?I can’t move!?Rather, each time he tried to resist, the warm and soft feeling transmitted to his sensitive palms and fingers made Shidou’s mind go crazy.

“Wha-what are you doing--!?”

At that moment, Tohka's downcast face looked up and she removed Origami's hold from Shidou.

After Shidou pulled his finally freed hands in panic, he made a big inhale to calm his heart down which was carved with violent beating....................but, during that occasion, a slightly good smell was coming from his right hands which has the feeling and Origami’s warmth left behind, and his face turned even redder.

“O-Origami........? Didn’t you say I did nothing to you......?”

When Shidou asked her in embarrassment, Origami nodded.

“Yes. That’s why I’ll have you do it now.”

“Ha........... Haaaa!?”

“Go ahead, do the things you did to everyone to me. Push me to the wall and lift my chin, blow a sweet breath to my ears and flip my skirt up.”

“Wha........!?”

Shidou opened his eyes wide from the extremely detailed instructions as Ai, Mai, and Mii blushed from embarrassment.

Origami didn’t care and continued talking.

“And then after exchanging a deeply passionate kiss, tear off my shirt, steal purity as a maiden then leave a Shidou mark on my body that will never disappear in a life time"

“E-eeeeh!?”

“Tobiichi Origami! Shidou will not do something like that!”

When Shidou raised his voice, Tohka raised an unbearable shout.

However, Origami was not bothered about it and gradually came closer to Shidou.

“Go ahead, Shidou. Go ahead.”

“Wait........no, errm........”

“Go ahead.”

“So-sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”

Shidou apologized for some reason and ran away from the spot.

Naturally, Origami responded quickly to prevent Shidou from running away, but she was blocked by Tohka and a quarrel ensued.

Shidou took the chance to run to the corridor and escaped to a safe place where Origami couldn't find him immediately.

While wiping off the sweat oozing down, he arranged his rough breathing.

“What is everyone saying? I just came to school..........”

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows. It was as if everyone was talking about how Shidou did something bad just recently.

“Hn.......?”

While Shidou placed his hands on his chin to think about it, two girls he knew walked towards him.

“Ou, Kaguya, Yuzuru........wait------“

When he called out to them, Shidou noticed something weird. For some reason, both of them were not wearing their Raizen uniforms but were wearing the school's designated swimsuit.

“......un?”

“Spotted. It’s Shidou.”

Kaguya and Yuzuru noticed Shidou and twitched their eyebrows simultaneously.

When they recognized him, both of them *Ba*! spread their hands at the same time as if to intimidate Shidou.

“We finally found you Shidou......! You haven't ran away yet huh!? Fuun, I’ll praise that courage of yours!”

“Alert. We won’t lower our guard anymore. We’ll have this settled properly.”

“Wha........!?”

From both of their responses, Shidou stiffened his body and stepped back. Thinking it might be possible, this is...........

“Do-don’t tell me you aren't going to say.......... I did something to you two right?”

Shidou asked with a shaking voice as Kaguya and Yuzuru raised their eyebrows in doubt.

“Damn you Shidou, don’t play a fool! Anyways, just give back my underwear you stole from me just now!”

“Resent. Who was it that said [Actually, I have a bra fetish], and poured water all over Yuzuru I wonder?”

“I-iiih!?”

Being informed again about another crime that he did not remember, Shidou opened his eyes wide.

“I don’t understand what you were thinking but we can’t lower our guard even for a little around you.”

“Consent. Yuzuru panicked since there wasn't a change of gym uniform but luckily there was one placed inside the pool bag.”

“I-I didn’t do anything like-------“

“Are you trying to play dumb!? That’s useless! I’m sure that was Shidou! There was no way I would mistake Shidou’s face!”

“Consent. That is true. There is no way Kaguya the lover of Shidou would make a mistake.”

“What are you saying Yuzuru!? You’re the same as me since you said that.......!”

“Ignore. No idea what Kaguya is talking about.”

The Yamai sisters argued with each for a while but they swung their heads immediately to think back and once again looked back at Shidou.

“Anyway! I won’t let it end while I am still beaten! The crime of looking down on Yamai, we will have you compensate with that body! In other words... Shidou! Take off your pants!”

“Agree. On top of that, Yuzuru will dampen Shidou’s whole body with a spray.”

After saying that, the Yamai sisters gradually closed the gap between them and Shidou.

“Do-don’t joke with me..........!”

He couldn't stand receiving the revenge of the crimes that he did not remember. Shidou turned his heels and was about to run away.

However, at that moment, he could hear a familiar voice again coming away from his escape route which was behind him.

“Itsuka-kun...........!”

She was a woman wearing glasses and a petite body. Although she looked young, he knew she was not a student since she was not wearing a school uniform. Shidou’s homeroom teacher Okamine Tamae, nicknamed Tama-chan.

“Ta-Tama-chan........ uhh, Okamine-sensei!”

Shidou corrected the pet name he accidentally said out of habit and as he called her name, Tama-chan-Sensei walked heavily towards Shidou and immediately grabbed Shidou’s shirttail.

“Wha-what’s wrong, Sensei....?”

As Shidou asked while having a bad feeling, Tama-chan-sensei made a face as if she was going to cry any second and released a voice as if she was complaining.

“Af-after doing something like that to me, what are you saying now........? I-I can no longer get married.............. I will have you properly take responsibility okay!?”

“E-Ehhhh!?”

He was prepared to a certain extent. But, as expected, it was one step too far. He twitched his shoulders and took one step back.

When he did that, a young man appeared from the corner of the corridor and when he saw Shidou, he [Hii] made a frightened voice.

It was Shidou’s friend, Tonomachi Hiroto. His hair hardened with wax, and he had a fearless look. His body physique was also blessed more than Shidou. But even so, for some reason, he hugged his shoulders in a girlish gesture and *Kata**Kata* his teeth was chattered.

“To-Tonomachi..........?

When Shidou called out to him with a dubious voice, Tonomachi’s whole body trembled like a Chihuahua.

“Itsuka.......Kun, errr, errm, hey..........I often joke around and sometimes cause some misunderstandings but..............I don’t have that interest so........”

“What on earth happened to you!?”

After shouting out that he couldn’t bear it anymore, possibly surprised from the loud voice, Tonomachi pulled his head back like a turtle.

“Kuh..........!”

He had no idea what was going on, but it looked like they wouldn't listen to any apologies. Overall, staying in the school was bad. Shidou shifted his eyes left and right to find an escape route.

And---------

“Eh.......?”

The instant he moved his eyes further up the corridor. Shidou felt goosebumps flowing up his whole body.

In the T-junction with light shining in from the window, a young man stood.

He had a slim body physique and somewhat neutral face. For an instant, Shidou felt as if he may had seen him before, and a strange feeling came over Shidou.

But, immediately.

He noticed the person he saw in the mirror every morning.

Yes. It was something very unbelievable but..................Itsuka Shidou, was standing over there.

“................”

The [Other Shidou] glanced at Shidou’s direction while swinging his hands lightly and distorting the side of his lips to form a smile, and walked through the corridor.

It was like he was mocking Shidou.

“Wai-wait..........! What are you......!?”

After Shidou raised a shout, he inserted strength into his legs to chase after the [Other Shidou].

But he could not compare against the Yamai sisters' agility. His right hand was grabbed by Kaguya while his left was grabbed by Yuzuru and his legs came to a halt.

“Kuku, did you think we will let you run away? Give up Shidou! You will regret your crimes!”

“Capture. Not letting you get away. Well, we will carefully dampen you.”

“Wai..........! Wait a second! Just now in the other side of the corridor I was..........!”

If he stays like this, he would lose sight of the [Other Shidou]. Shidou strengthened his resolve *Guu*, and inserted strength in both his arms.

“Ah-----! I get it! I’ll stay quiet!”

As he shouted in despair, the Yamai sisters who were restraining both of Shidou’s arms made a satisfied nod.

“Kuku, yes, that is good. You gave an insult like this to us Yamai’s. We will have you receive an appropriate punishment.”

“Consent. Shidou should have done that from the start.”

Kaguya and Yuzuru released Shidou’s arms. They might honestly believe in Shidou’s words; but by any chance if he tried to run away, they probably thought it would be easy to capture him again.

In reality, that was correct. Even though their powers were sealed, the Yamai sisters were originally the Spirits that could control wind. Shidou’s speed could not compare to theirs. It would be extremely hard to run away from these girls.

Yes........he had to make good of a chance.

“Aah, I give up. My pants right!? All I have to do is take it off right!?”

As Shidou said that, he used his freed hands and *Kacha**Kacha* started fiddling with his belt.

“””..............!?”””

Due to Shidou’s sudden actions, Kaguya, Yuzuru and Tama-chan-sensei twitched their bodies and covered their eyes with their hands in reflex. Incidentally, Tonomachi’s face turned pale and ran away along the wall.

No matter, this was a good opportunity. When everyone were covering their faces, he ran after the [Other Shidou].

He ran to the end of the corridor and made a turn towards the direction the [Other Shidou] disappeared to. When he did that, he caught sight of the back of the [Other Shidou] further up.

“That guy........!”

Shidou clenched his teeth and increased his speed to chase after that back.

And, after running for so long...

Shidou ran around the school as if he was guided by the [Other Shidou] and in the end, they reached the door leading to the roof.

“Haa... haa... There should be no...... more place...... for you to run..........”

He placed his hands on his chest to control his rough breathing.

Then, Shidou placed his hands on the knob and threw open the door. His dim view was eroded by the sense of freedom of the blue sky in an instant.

But now was not the time to be thinking about that. He took a step out to the roof and shifted his sights to every nook and cranny of the area surrounded by fences.

“Yo, that was fast.”

“........!”

Shidou stiffened up when he heard the voice coming from behind him.

He turned around in panic and looked towards the direction of the voice. A boy that looked exactly like Shidou leisurely sat and gazed at him on the rooftop structure that Shidou just came out from.

“You.... as expected, are me....!?”

Shidou raised his eyebrows, and made a sullen face while glaring at the [Other Shidou].

At close distance, it could not have been a mistake in appearance. As if passing through the mirror world, a person that looked like Shidou was right in front of him.

“Fufu......”

The [Other Shidou] giggled, jumped down from the rooftop structure, and landed in front of Shidou.

Yes. From the testimonies gathered from the mouths of Tohka, the three girls, Yamai sisters, Tama-chan-sensei, Tonomachi, and several other people, all the bad deeds that Shidou could not recall.

Most likely, every one of those deeds were done by the [Other Shidou] who stood in front of him right now.

“Just as you guessed. I had a lot of fun when you weren’t around.”

As if he guessed Shidou’s thoughts from his expression, the [Other Shidou] distorted his lips. He was exactly like Shidou, from his voice to his gestures. Each time he made a remark, a nasty feeling came over Shidou.

“Who.... are you? Why are you making the same face as me. And also, what kind of goal do you have to do something like that......!?”

Shidou asked this without lowering his guard, the [Other Shidou] *Kusu**kusu* laughed in his throat in a manner where it was so strange he could not bear it.

“Wha-what’s so strange!?”

“Fufu...... well that’s strange. That’s because, you haven’t noticed yet,?Oh Shidou-kun!”

“Wha......?”

Shidou gasped and opened his eyes wide.

From the voice the [Other Shidou] made, the last part turned into a girl’s voice completely different from Shidou’s.

A voice he heard from somewhere before........

“That voice just now...... Don’t tell me... Natsumi......?”

Yes. This voice unmistakably belonged to the Spirit Shidou encountered yesterday.

The [Other Shidou] made a suspicious smile before making a circle with his other hand.

“Pin Pon! Correct. Good job! Good boy, good boy!”

“Wha-what is with that form......?”

Even while asking, the scenery he saw yesterday clearly floated inside Shidou’s mind.

The Angel <Haniel> Natsumi manifested caused everyone in the AST and every missile bathed in the light released to transform.

The ability to transform objects into something else. Thinking that it could be used on her own body, then her current form could be understood.

However, he still didn't get it. Shidou made a grim face while continuing his words.

“What is your goal!? Disguising like me and doing mischief to others......!?”

As Shidou said that, Natsumi immediately lost her smug expression and glared back at Shidou.

“........You don’t know? Seriously?”

“Wha-what is........?”

Pierced by Natsumi’s sharp glint in her eyes, Shidou felt a hallucination as if his heart was being tightened.

At the same time, the words Natsumi left came back to him.

(Now that you had seen it, I cannot afford it to end it like this..........! Remember this. I will end your life......!)

“Ah...“

Shidou twitched his shoulders and gulped.

“Do-don’t tell me, when you meant ending my life............”

“-----twenty points.”

As Shidou said that in fear, Natsumi half-opened her eyes while replying.

“Huh........?”

“Didn’t I say it before? I will not let the person who knows my secret go that easily. Did you think I would forgive you in these bouts of harassment-->>
