❁❁❁❁

Since Princess returned to the neighboring world, Tengu City had been free of Spacequakes for over ten days.

Lately, my life had become quite leisurely.

During the day at school, I either napped at my desk or played games online with Nia Honjou.

Ever since learning my identity, Nia Honjou had been constantly pestering me to tell her stories about other worlds, saying she needed inspiration for her manga.

Unable to withstand Nia Honjou's relentless pestering, I could only materialize a few smartphones for her.

They included games like Honor of Kings, Naruto, and a vast collection of novels and manga.

As a result, Nia now spent almost every day holed up in her room, binge-watching shows and playing games—a complete NEET.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!

Just as Nia and I were playing Honor of Kings, a familiar yet unfamiliar Spacequake alarm suddenly blared again.

"Precursor to Spacequake observed in Tengu City. Residents, please evacuate to shelters immediately. This is not a drill. This is not a drill..."

Hearing the broadcast's warning, the teacher immediately organized the students for an orderly evacuation to the shelter!

"My future girlfriend's calling for a status check. Gotta go!" Hearing the Spacequake alarm, I sent a message and then unhesitatingly quit the game.

Given the situation, I had no choice. Games were important, but a Spirit wife was even more precious.

Besides, this Spacequake occurred at the school. If I wasn't mistaken, it should be that gluttonous Princess.

However, the other three teammates in the game instantly exploded.

"What the—?! That jerk just got a Pentakill and now he's AFK?!"

"Freaking AFK noob!"

"Seriously, what a..."

Even Nia Honjou chimed in from time to time, fanning the flames.

I was oblivious to all this, as I was currently awaiting Princess's arrival from the neighboring world.

———

Suddenly, my phone rang in my pocket. I quickly picked it up and answered without even looking at the caller ID.

"Moshi moshi, Kotori-chan, what can I do for you?"

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Kotori Itsuka's furious roar, like that of an enraged little tigress, came from the other end of the line.

"You bastard! Where's that earpiece I gave you on the ship?! Why aren't you wearing it?"

"Earpiece?"

"What earpiece? Oh, oh, oh~ Found it. I'm really sorry, Kotori-chan, I forgot." After rummaging through my system space, I finally found a black earpiece.

Hearing my unconcerned words, Kotori Itsuka gritted her teeth in anger.

"You bastard with a brain full of H! Never mind! Get ready quickly! The Spirit this time is Princess, whose Angel you snatched away last time. There's a high probability she'll appear at your school—"

Hearing this, I pondered. This indeed perfectly matched the plot of the original story.

"Commander, Princess is about to appear." Suddenly, as the frequency of the spatial fluctuations on the monitoring screen changed, Reine Murasame reminded her.

"Mm, got it!" Kotori Itsuka turned her head to look at another monitoring screen displaying Raizen High School, her eyes flickering.

'Hibari Kyoya! I'll use Princess to verify if you're really as strong as Nia Honjou said.'

———

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

As a black hole's gravity continuously contracted and expanded, the next moment, a purple shockwave, expanded to its limit, swept across the entire school.

CRACK!

Several school buildings collapsed.

Simultaneously, the screen on Fraxinus monitoring Raizen High School also went black.

Seeing the surveillance satellite destroyed by the Spacequake, Kotori Itsuka stood up angrily, ordering her subordinates to deploy new surveillance and communication equipment!

Just as she was about to continue her call with me, she suddenly found that the ongoing call had been directly disconnected.

She was certain that this call wasn't disconnected by her accidentally pressing the wrong button, nor was it interrupted by the Spacequake. There was only one reason...

"That damn jerk! Hanging up on me?! He's dead!!"

CRASH!!!

She had been so worried about him, yet he had hung up on her without a word.

'I'm worried sick about him, and he just hangs up without a word! That idiot! What does he think of my concern for him?!'

The furious Kotori Itsuka directly smashed her phone.

After calming down, Kotori Itsuka looked at Reine Murasame beside her and said.

"Reine, call that bastard and confirm the situation! Remember to put it on speaker!"

"Yes!"

———

On the other side—

I hung up the phone and stood alone amidst the ruins of Raizen High School, sighing helplessly.

"This gluttonous Princess always makes a grander entrance than me. She's practically destroyed the entire school. Guess I won't have to attend classes for the next few days!"

Buzz! Buzz!!

Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket again.

"Strange? Who's calling me now?"

I took out my phone again, looked at the caller ID, and a mischievous grin spread across my face.

"Moshi moshi, my dear Reine-chan, what's the matter? Don't tell me you're worried about my safety!"

"Oh my! I'm so touched! Don't worry, after I deal with things here, I'll definitely find you for a thorough 'physical examination'!"

"..."

Hearing my cheesy and affectionate, almost confessional greeting from the phone—

Even the deeply experienced and shrewdly airheaded beauty, Reine Murasame, almost lost her composure, her eyelids twitching involuntarily.

'When did Kyoya and I become so close? How brazen!'

'Could it be... '

Even Kyouhei and the others in the ship's control room now stared at Reine Murasame with strange expressions.

Especially Kotori Itsuka—a hint of jealousy inevitably arose in her heart. She directly snatched the phone and cursed.

"You jerk! Since when did you become so close to Reine?!"

"Oh~ So it's Kotori-chan..."

Hearing the voice from the other end, I couldn't help but feel a little awkward. After all, I had just hung up on her. I could only ask with a sheepish grin.

"Um... Kotori-chan, is something wrong?"

Aboard the ship, Kotori Itsuka took a deep breath, suppressing her indignation. "I'm asking you, have you found any sign of Princess at the scene?"

"Princess?" Hearing this, my gaze fixed on a school building that hadn't been completely destroyed by the Spacequake, a mischievous smile appearing on my lips.

"I've already seen her. I was just about to go find her!"

"Wait a minute! Regarding the plan to conquer Princess, we still need to discuss it properly."

Hearing me say this, Kotori on the other end of the line quickly tried to stop me.

"Huh? Discuss? Discuss what?!" To this, I didn't react for a moment, completely bewildered.
