"Of course, we need to discuss the Princess-Conquering strategy!"

On the other end of the line, Kotori Itsuka, lollipop in mouth and legs crossed, wore an expression of utmost pride.

"To ensure we can seal the Spirits without any mishaps, we at Ratatoskr have searched for and gathered numerous exceptionally talented individuals to form a Spirit-conquering support team."

"Outstanding talents? Spirit support team?"

Hearing this, memories of the "outstanding talents'" miraculous operations from the original story flashed through my mind...

The secondhand embarrassment was enough to make me want to dig a hole and hide.

'If I'm not mistaken, they should be...'

Simultaneously, upon hearing my question, Kotori Itsuka performed a perfect kip-up, leaping directly from her chair, and couldn't help but start introducing the members of Ratatoskr.

"Since you're so curious, let me take this opportunity to properly introduce my excellent staff to you!"

"Married four times, divorced four times—a Super Love Master with four marriages under his belt, capable of instantly entering the burnout phase—Bad Marriage, Kawagoe."

'Are you sure this is a love master and not a scumbag??'

However, Kotori Itsuka continued her enthusiastic introduction.

"Extremely popular with Filipino women, undefeated in all nightclub battles against men, and takes pride in this—Mikimoto."

'Isn't that just a nightclub Romeo??'

...

"Love rivals meet with misfortune one after another; the two AM woman—Nail Knocker Shiizaki."

'Holy crap, this one is probably more scary than Sadako!'

...

"A man with a hundred waifus; the Dimension Breaker, Nakatsugawa."

'Hmm? Say what you will, this is probably the fantasy of every 2D otaku!'

'Quite similar to that Useless NEET, Nia.'

...

"Because she loved too deeply, she's now legally restricted from coming within a 500-meter radius of her beloved; the woman under protective observation—Deep Love, Hinako."

'Good grief, this should be considered a yandere, right!'

Click!

Just as Kotori Itsuka was excitedly continuing her introductions, she suddenly heard the sound of the phone disconnecting.

"Hmm? What's going on??" Hearing the disconnect tone, Kotori thought something urgent had happened on my end and quickly redialed.

However... she only heard a crisp, official recording.

"Hello, the user you have dialed has powered off. Please try again later. Sorry..."

CRASH!!!

Understanding the reason for the disconnection, the tightly wound string in Kotori Itsuka's mind instantly snapped. She could no longer suppress her anger.

With all her strength, she smashed the phone in her hand and cursed loudly. "That bastard actually hung up on me again! Damn Hentai, pervert, Lolicon! Go to hell!"

After saying that, still not satisfied, she even stomped fiercely on the shattered phone a few times.

"Commander..." Reine Murasame, standing beside her, was about to speak—

But Kotori Itsuka's red eyes glared back, and she asked indignantly. "What were you going to say, Reine?"

That lolicon was actually nicer to Reine than to her, which made her a little jealous.

Seeing the hostile, enraged Kotori Itsuka before her, Reine pointed weakly at the shattered phone beneath Kotori's foot.

"Kotori, the phone you smashed... was mine..."

"..."

———

The scene shifted.

At Raizen High School, putting my phone back in my pocket, I let out a long sigh.

Those "outstanding" talents gathered by Ratatoskr were all weirdos. If the protagonist in the original story hadn't been immortal, he would have died long ago.

It was better to proceed one step at a time.

I took a light step, and in a single breath, I had already appeared at the entrance of a classroom dilapidated by the Spacequake.

Gazing through the large crack in the classroom door, I had a clear view of the situation inside.

In this relatively intact classroom—

The Spirit girl, clad in purple armor-like Astral Dress with long black hair, sat on one of the desks, blinking her crystal-like eyes. A hint of curious vigilance in her gaze made her look incredibly adorable.

Creak!

Without much thought, I directly pushed open the door and entered the classroom.

Simultaneously, hearing the commotion, Princess immediately turned her head. When her gaze landed on the familiar figure at the classroom entrance, Princess instantly bristled.

"IT'S YOU!"

After exclaiming, Princess quickly stood up, leaping from the desk to stand before me, staring fiercely at me and extending her hand.

"Human. Quickly return my Sandalphon!"

Hearing this, I pondered for a moment, then decided to return Sandalphon to her.

Seeing Princess happily retrieve her Angel, I couldn't help but speak. "Princess, I've returned your Angel. Shouldn't you tell me your name now? I can't just keep calling you Princess!"

"N-Name? What's that?" Princess, who had just a moment ago been wearing a "fierce" expression, froze upon hearing my words, then looked adorably confused.

"A name is like a permanent code for a person—My name is Hibari Kyoya!" Facing this adorably foolish Princess, I offered a simple and clear explanation.

"Hibari Kyoya?" Princess couldn't help but softly repeat my name.

However, as if remembering some past sorrow, Princess's head drooped, and the purple light that had been radiating from her beautiful eyes now dimmed.

"Name... But I don't have a name!"

"No name?" Hearing this, I pretended to think for a moment, then grinned. "In that case, I'll think of a fitting name for you! How about that?"

Suddenly hearing that I was going to give her a name, Princess curiously lifted her head, blinking her bright, large eyes. "What name?"

However, I didn't answer, instead taking Princess's delicate hand and leading her to the blackboard at the front of the classroom.

Suddenly being held by a human, even though Princess knew this wasn't appropriate behavior for a Spirit, she didn't refuse.

'If this human gives me a name I don't like, I'll just chop him up with Sandalphon later.'

——

I held Princess's right hand, picked up a piece of chalk with a standard grip, and, just like a parent teaching their child how to write, crookedly wrote two characters on the blackboard.

Looking at the two unfamiliar characters on the blackboard, Princess looked puzzled.

"What is this? What did you make me draw? Don't tell me it's a strange magic circle designed to deal with us Spirits!"

"How despicable! Y-You actually made me draw a magic circle to kill Spirits!"

At this moment, Princess's mind was filled with strange thoughts. In the end, her pretty face turned deathly pale, her eyes warily fixed on the two characters on the blackboard.
