This is not the date I wanted.

"No! And don't take off your clothes anymore, put them on."

"So, the half-covered look is more in line with Shidou's preferences?"

"How on earth did you misinterpret what I meant!?"

It seemed that she didn't take Shidou's complaints seriously at all. Origami made her clothes messy, half-covered her smooth and delicate skin to tease Shidou's sight, and then slowly sat on Shidou's body.

"It's okay, Shidou, you don't have to move. Leave everything to me."

“Hey hey hey——!? Wait a minute——Don’t pull my zipper! Someone come! Is there anyone here? Come and save me! QAQ”

Then, Shidou's screams echoed throughout the ruins.

————————————————————I am the dividing line in a few minutes————————————————————

"Huh...huh..."

As if he had escaped halfway from a tiger's mouth, Shidao kept panting with sweat all over his forehead.

"Really? Can you please not help me deal with it?"

Origami asked, somewhat confused.

"Yeah - sorry Origami, I don't have any special fetish that gets excited in situations like this."

"Yeah……"

Origami nodded slowly and put her clothes in order silently. Although she had a blank expression on her face, Shidou felt that she seemed quite regretful for some reason.

"Haha... As expected, origami is still origami."

Shidou said with a smile on his face. It must be said that this time, Origami's actions were completely beyond Shidou's expectations, but if he carefully recalled the girl's past behavior, he would feel that this was completely natural - Tobiichi Origami was such a person who went beyond common sense ethics.

If she hadn't listened to his words in the end, Shidao's chastity would have been lost.

"Origami, you joined DEM because you wanted to take revenge on the elves who killed your parents five years ago, right?"

"Yes……"

Origami nodded slowly in response to the question asked by the bound Shidou.

In the Miku incident a few months ago, Origami violated AST's military regulations by stopping the magicians of DEM and was forced to be dismissed due to the secret manipulation of DEM. In order to become a magician again and gain the power of revenge, Origami still chose to join DEM after knowing her situation.

Shidou exhaled slowly and continued to ask.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Revenge. I will kill all the spirits, including Ryougi Yuumei and Yatogami Tohka."

"—!"

Even though he had expected such an answer, when he actually heard it from Origami's mouth, Shidou couldn't help but hold his breath and felt his throat extremely dry.

(Calm down! Calm down!)

After taking a deep breath and calming his pounding heart, Shidou proposed to Origami.

"If I can help you find out who the real murderer was who killed your parents five years ago, can you give up fighting with Meng Yue and the others?"

"——!?"

Origami didn't say anything, but her slightly raised brows told Shidou how shaken the girl was at the moment.

Shidou did not miss this opportunity and pressed on to persuade him.

"Although the specific contents cannot be explained yet, we already have further clues. I believe that as long as we continue to investigate, the truth of five years ago will definitely be revealed. So -"

"As expected...Shidou is very gentle."

However, the waves in her heart were calmed down in just an instant. Origami stared at Shidou quietly, then slowly shook her head and whispered.

"Thank you, Shidao. I'm very happy that you are willing to help me. But unfortunately, I can't agree to your request."

"Why Origami?!"

Shidou opened his eyes wide in disbelief and shouted in confusion.

"I'm not lying, I really can--"

"I believe that Shidou will be able to find out who the spirit is that killed my parents, but——"

Origami looked at Shidou with a penetrating yet cold gaze.

"But even if that day really comes, Shidou, will you allow me to kill that spirit?"

"Forehead……"

Shidou was suddenly speechless.

That's right, even if the truth of five years ago was found out and the true identity of the murderer was known, as long as it was an elf, neither Shidao nor Ratatoskr would allow Origami to kill that elf.

Find the murderer, convince Origami, in the end, this is just a means of delaying a problem that must be faced until the last possible moment.

[But there is one thing, if it turns out that the murderer is Kotori-chan, or if the elf itself had no choice, what are you going to do?]

When Shidao thought about how he had just brushed aside Mengyue's question, he wanted to slap himself.

But even so, Shidou stared at Origami without any confusion and continued to persuade her.

"… Origami, Tohka, Yumezuki, and everyone else have transferred to our school for a while now."

"........."

"Time flies by so fast. The spirits that once fought desperately with you have now completely integrated into this world. Tohka, Yoshino, Yakuya, Yuzuru, Yumezuki, Nanashi, not to mention Kotori and Miku... everyone is trying hard to live as a human being."

"Yes."

Origami nodded silently without denying Shidou's words.

“Origami, you’ve been through a lot with everyone. Haven’t you ever changed your mind? You’re saying that elves are just elves… because they’re extremely dangerous and must be eliminated…”

Origami slowly lowered her head and spoke in a weak voice.

"...Of course I know about that kind of thing."

"So--"

"So what?!!"

However, before Shidou could finish his words, Origami swung her fist, pounded the wall, and roared at an unprecedented volume.

"They are kind, they have no ill intentions, and they have been trying to live as 'humans'. I know this! But so what?! Just because of this, they are free from fault? ! ! Just because some elves are innocent, should my parents die in vain? "

For the first time, Shidou saw so clearly the expression of anger and unwillingness on the girl's face.

"I will kill all the elves!" Origami said firmly, "Otherwise, when I really face the elf who killed my father, if she has any unavoidable reasons, I will definitely be lenient. At that time, not only will I not be able to avenge them, but everything I have done in the past few years will also be meaningless."

As hot as the magma gushing out from hell, Shidou was suppressed by Origami's momentum and could hardly breathe.

Unable to communicate with morality and reason, ignoring the good and evil of everyone, and acting solely based on one's own hatred.

Tobiichi Origami wants to become a real villain.

"I won't let you kill everyone."

Shidou gritted his teeth and glared at Origami.

"Are you angry, Shidou?"

At some point, Origami had returned to her usual calm self, staring at Shidou quietly.

"Ah - I'm angry! I'm very angry now. I'm angry that I didn't notice your thoughts and said a lot of self-righteous nonsense! So -"

His body seemed to be shaking unconsciously because of fear, and Shidou shouted out his determination loudly as if to drive himself away.

"I will definitely save you. No matter if it's you or everyone else. I will definitely find a way for everyone to truly accept each other!"

"Really? Well, I'm sorry, Shidou."

"—!"

Pursing her lips bitterly, Origami took out a handkerchief mixed with a strong anesthetic from her pocket and covered Shidou's mouth and nose, making him lose consciousness.

"...If I use the power of the spirits, it would be easy to break free or resist."

Origami looked at Shidao in confusion, and after a long silence, she left the necessary necessities such as water and food here, then turned around and left quickly.

A way to save everyone? ——That kind of thing cannot exist.

05 Transition chapter, too lazy to name it (lying)

==============================

At this time, 15,000 meters above Tiangong City, the aerial ship - Fraxinus.

"How is it, can you confirm Shidou's location?"

At the command seat in the command room, Kotori, who had changed into commander mode with a black headband, asked with a serious expression while gurgling a Kabejia lollipop in her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Commander. After the signal interference disappeared, the wireless headset on Shidou-kun seemed to have been destroyed. The cameras in Amamiya City also did not capture the figures of Tobiichi Origami and Shidou-kun."

Qin Li frowned slightly.

"Have you checked the blind spots of the street cameras beforehand? Even the micro cameras have been ruled out. Damn, Tobiichi Origami, she really has a thorough plan."

To be honest, although Kotori knew that Origami Tobiichi was a rank 1st lieutenant in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and a former AST ace player, she was too impressed by the image of a woman who was always pestering Shidao, so she subconsciously ignored these titles. It was not until today that she realized how difficult Origami Tobiichi was.

"Ah——that stupid brother. Why did you act alone?"

Qin Li smacked her lips in annoyance.

This afternoon, Kotori received a call from her brother at school, saying that he was planning to investigate the truth behind the fire five years ago.

Knowing that even if she didn't agree, Shidou would probably do it alone. And thinking that with Sister Mengyue by his side, he probably wouldn't do anything too dangerous, Kotori didn't stop him.

But unexpectedly, Origami Tobiichi would take the initiative, use ordinary students to get Mengyue away, and then take advantage of the opportunity to kidnap Shidao.

[Hey, can you hear me, Kotori? ]

At this time, Meng Yue's voice came through the communicator.

"Sister Mengyue, what's the matter?"

Kotori asked.

"I've just contacted everyone to gather at the apartment. Can you teleport everyone back to the airship later? I think after kidnapping Shidou, Origami's next target should be the elves."

"Well...I see."

After hearing Yumezuki's proposal, Kotori nodded. According to Origami's personality, she shouldn't harm Shidou, but it's not certain for Tohka and the others. Now that we don't know where Origami is hiding in Amamiya City, it's the safest choice to bring the spirit to Fraxinus.

"Then, Sister Mengyue, what are you going to do next?"

Kotori asked into the intercom. Just now, Liang Yi Meng Yue obviously didn't include herself in the "everyone" she mentioned.

An awkward laugh broke out from the other end of the intercom.

"Well...after all, I am also somewhat responsible for Shidou being captured by Origami. And Tohka and the others are starting to get worried about Shidou, so I want to look for him in every possible place."

Hearing this, Qin Li couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Sister Mengyue, I know you've always been thinking about everyone and Shidou. But please note that you are also a 'spirit'. You are also among the targets that Origami is aiming at."

"Hey, hey - don't worry about this, Kotori-chan. Don't you know what kind of person your sister Mengyue is? She will never do anything reckless if she is not sure. Don't worry, I know my limits."

After hearing Mengyue's confident promise, Qinli was silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

"...Okay. But you have to promise me that you won't force me. I don't want to worry about another idiot anymore."

"Understood~"

After hanging up the phone, Kotori shook her head with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

"Really... I can now understand why Shidou accepted Mengyuejie's training."

If I agreed to Mengyue's proposal because I knew that she was reliable, then being unable to stop her from taking risks was my shortcoming.

Protecting the safety of the elves and considering their emotions. These were originally what Ratatoskr should do. Mengyue, who was originally in a position of being protected, had no need to put herself in danger. It is better to say that the cause of this incident had nothing to do with Mengyue from the beginning.

Just to protect her important family. Such a pure and monotonous wish made Kotori realize that she only did what she should do, but she didn't do it to the best of her ability.

"Report to the commander. Tohka and the others have been teleported to Fraxinus."

After hearing the report from her subordinates, Kotori nodded, and after sending someone to settle Tohka, she gave the order.

"Begin investigating the map of Tiangong City, and send out micro cameras to investigate the blind spots and abandoned areas of those cameras—"
