After preparing myself, just as I was about to give my evaluation—

The two girls started bickering again.

Noticing the smile on my face after I finished the cookies, Tohka immediately lifted her proud little head. "As expected, mine are better."

"Mine was clearly eaten 0.001 seconds earlier," Origami retorted, directly using data.

"What did you say? How could you tell it was 0.001 seconds earlier??"

In the blink of an eye, Tohka and Origami were about to get into another argument. I gave both of them a head pat. "Alright, alright, stop fighting. Both Tohka's and Origami's cookies are delicious. I'll have to try your cookies again when I have time!"

Tohka, rewarded with my head pat, beamed with a sweet smile.

And Origami's usually icy, expressionless face also showed a rare smile.

However, when Tohka and Origami glanced at each other, they still huffed lightly, neither willing to concede to the other.

"Pfft! You two seem to get along quite well!" Suddenly, a gentle laugh came from the side.

The three of us turned our heads and saw—it was Shiori!

At this moment, she was dressed just like Tohka and Origami, wearing a pink apron.

Besides that, she was also holding a box of cookies, and their shape was very similar to Tohka's.

"Yo~ I didn't expect Shiori to make cookies too!"

"Mm, Kyoya-kun, want to try?" Saying this, Shiori handed the cookies to me.

Seeing this, I didn't hold back. I quickly took a cookie from the box and started eating.

In just two or three bites, I had swallowed the cookie, then gave a thumbs-up. "Mm, GREAT!"

"Shiori really is wife material~"

My words made Shiori's face flush red. She was clearly flustered by my statement and shyly lowered her head.

After all, my words were a bit too direct.

"Kyoya, what does 'wife material' mean?" Hearing a word she didn't understand, Tohka looked at me curiously and asked.

As soon as she spoke, Origami, beside her, surprisingly explained it to her. "A wife material is..."

After a barrage of explanations, Tohka looked at me with an expectant expression.

However, with Origami's next sentence, she immediately bristled...

"In the future, I will definitely become Kyoya's good wife!" Saying this, Origami hugged my arm, a blush instantly appearing on her small face.

"WHAT?? Robot, what do you mean? You're not Kyoya's wife! I'm Kyoya's wife! Don't you compete with me!" Origami's intimate action, coupled with her bold declaration towards me, instantly made Tohka bristle.

She also hugged my arm and glared angrily at Origami Tobiichi, as if declaring her sovereignty.

"No, I'm Kyoya's wife!"

"No, I am!"

"..."

Watching the two argue again, I felt helpless.

'What a pair of bickering rivals!'

However, the next moment, I sensed countless murderous gazes fixed on me, and my whole being felt uneasy.

At this moment, I had truly become the focus of the class.

"Scumbag! Two-timing!"

"Wrong! It's three-timing! You forgot about Itsuka-san!"

"Ah, this scumbag! He actually snatched away the three most beautiful girls in our class!"

"Damn it! Can't he just leave us some?"

"..."

Listening to the surrounding students' discussions, Shiori, who had been dragged into it, her face didn't lose its rosy hue in the slightest.

'Seriously, when did I become Kyoya's wife...'

However, when she looked up at me, Shiori didn't know why, but a strange emotion arose in her heart.

In contrast, hearing the discussions of the boys around me, I swept my gaze over the entire room with murderous intent, instantly scaring them into silence.

'A bunch of cowards.'

Just as I was about to appease Tohka and Origami, the sound of a Spacequake alarm echoed through Tengu City.

Woooooooooooooooo—

"Attention all personnel, attention all personnel, a Spacequake is imminent. Residents in the vicinity, please prepare for evacuation..."

'A Spacequake already? Looks like I'll be seeing Yoshino again!'

A glint of light flashed in my eyes.

"Shiori, take Tohka and evacuate. Or you can head back to Ratatoskr. I'll handle the Spirit!" I instructed the two beside me.

"B-But I want to be with Kyoya!" Hearing this, Tohka clung to me, unwilling to leave.

To this, I patted her head and comforted her with a smile. "Be good~ Behave. I'll be right back!"

"Alright!"

"Mm, be careful."

The two of them instructed me with concern, then ran towards the underground shelter.

After their figures gradually disappeared, I turned my head to look at Origami.

However, seeing her stripping off her clothes, I immediately felt a headache coming on. "Origami, don't tell me you're planning to put on your CR-Unit and fight the Spirit with the AST!"

"Yes! I am a member of the AST, and fighting Spirits is my mandatory mission!" As soon as her voice fell, Origami Tobiichi had already donned her CR-Unit, preparing to head to the epicenter of the Spacequake.

Helpless, I quickly grabbed her and tried to persuade her earnestly. "Origami, we talked about this before. You promised me you wouldn't target Spirits anymore."

"Regarding your parents, after I deal with this, I'll give you a detailed explanation, okay?!"

Hearing my words, Origami Tobiichi's entire body stiffened.

She froze for about five or six seconds, then looked at me, our gazes meeting.

"Alright!"

Fortunately, Origami ultimately agreed to my request.

Watching Origami Tobiichi head towards the shelter, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

'I might as well use this opportunity to clear everything up!'

'After all, a short, sharp pain is better than a long, dull ache.'

Immediately, I received a call from Kotori.

"Hey! A new Spirit has appeared! Get ready quickly!"

"I know. I'm heading to the scene now!"
