This is not the date I wanted.

"By family, do you mean wives and concubines? Or sisters and brothers?"

"None of them are right! Mengyue is the mother of this family."

Before Mengyue could speak, Erya answered with a smile.

——Snap! Meng Yue swung the paper fan at Erya's head without hesitation.

"Mom..."

Rokuko tilted his head, first looked at Shidou, then looked at Mengyue, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Mother?"

Meng Yue almost couldn't help spitting out blood, and quickly shook her head to deny it.

"No, no, that's complete nonsense. Even if it's true, there's no reason for you to call me mother."

Looking at the ignorant Rokuko, Mengyue scratched his hair, sighed, and didn't care too much.

"As for me... that's true. If I have to give a position, I should be the nanny of this family."

"No different from my mom."

Erya complained seriously.

——Snap! Meng Yue threw another paper fan at Erya's head.

"So that's how it is. Liu'er knows."

Seeing this scene, Liu'er nodded as if he understood.

"I understand... Then can you answer my question? Can you explain why you are here and sticking to Shidou?"

Meng Yue lowered her head a little tiredly and continued to ask.

Rokuko nodded and replied.

"Liu'er came here this time to express gratitude to you for risking your life to save me from the fire and water. Secondly, when the heart lock was opened, you said something and did something for me, which moved me deeply. Therefore, Liu'er is willing to accept the promise you made."

"promise?"

"..."

Faced with Meng Yue's question, Liu Ku did not answer immediately. Her pretty face flushed and she answered in a low voice,

"My lord... promised Liu'er that he would take Liu'er as his sex slave and make Liu'er happy..."

"puff--!"

Shidao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't expect that Rokuko still remembered the option Kotori asked him to say when they first met, and took it seriously.

Hearing this, the elves present couldn't help but frown in surprise.

"Varied……?!"

"Shidou, is this true?"

"That, that..."

“Wow… you’re a pervert…”

"No, that's not right! It's a misunderstanding—"

"Misunderstanding... Sir... don't you intend to make Liu'er happy?"

"Of course not! It is true in a way, but there are complicated reasons behind it."

Just when Shidou was busy trying to clarify the misunderstanding, Kotori, the "culprit", felt too embarrassed to continue playing dumb, so she stepped forward to explain.

"That Rokuko... I am Shidou's sister Kotori. I can assure you that what Shidou said to you was not a lie... Sex slaves are another matter. Shidou will definitely keep his promise to you. However, Shidou has been through a lot of battles and needs to rest now. Please let him rest. He will accompany you tomorrow."

"Hmm."

After hearing what Kotori said, Rokuko nodded in understanding.

"I see. The injury you incurred for Liu'er has not yet healed? Got it. Then Liu'er will come back tomorrow."

As he said that, Rokuko stood up from the bed, opened the door with the "Seal Master", and stepped into the door while waving goodbye to Shidou with a smile.

"Recover at ease, sir. Make sure Liu'er has a good time tomorrow."

——————————————————————————I am the dividing line for slightly fast forward——————————

About half an hour had passed since then.

"what--"

Soaking his body in the warm pool, Gokawa Shido was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the newly added healing bathhouse in Fraxinus EX after the renovation. It is said that the liquid produced by the manifestation device contains magic power, and as long as you bathe normally, it will have healing effects. Its specific effects mainly include but are not limited to treating bruises, back pain, relieving fatigue, detoxification and beauty, etc. To put it in an analogy, it is like the recovery fountain that often appears in RPGs.

Well, these were just the boasts he heard from Kotori before he came in, Shidou didn't know if they were true or not. But it was definitely more comfortable than soaking in the sanatorium.

"Huh... it feels so good to be alive~"

With a sigh of old-fashioned feeling, Shidou soaked his whole body in the milky hot water, stared at the ceiling through the hazy mist, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"So much has happened in the past few days."

The day before yesterday, he was at school preparing for the new semester, but before he even had a class, he met Rokuku who was drifting in the universe. Then he went to the sea base where Kotori's organization was located, but was imprisoned in the Phantom Book House by the sudden attack by Westcott. Then he ran into the universe and fought a fierce battle with Rokuku and DEM. After escaping death and returning to Earth, he went on a date with Rokuku who had untied the locks in his heart.

To be honest, if Shidao hadn't gotten a night's rest, he would have been a little overwhelmed.

(If Meng Yue knew this thought, she would probably just say that I deserved it.)

Thinking of this, Shidao couldn't help but let out a helpless bitter smile.

After the argument about the Rokuko issue, although Mengyue forgave Shidao, she obviously did not agree with Shidao's approach. Every time she mentioned this matter, she spoke to Shidao with a sarcastic attitude.

"A date tomorrow...?"

Shidou muttered to himself.

Although it was not his first time, he was still a little nervous before dating the elf. He had a sense of crisis about what kind of danger might happen, and a sense of uneasiness about how to open the elf's heart.

After untying the lock on her heart, Rokuko's attitude became much friendlier, but that doesn't mean she would honestly accept Shido's seal. If she was a frank and friendly girl with no problems, she wouldn't have used an angel to seal her heart.

"Huh... There's no point in thinking about this. Be optimistic! Relax!"

Shidou scooped up a handful of hot water to wash his cheeks, and began to relax himself.

Rokuko's sudden change in personality, Meng Yue's attitude towards Rokuko, and the unclear dream just now, although there are still a lot of questions that I don't understand, it's useless to think about it now. I can only pay attention to my physical condition, don't cause insomnia due to nervousness, and conserve my energy to prepare for the date with Rokuko tomorrow.

——GuluGulu.

"Ok?"

Shidao lowered his head in confusion. He found that bubbles were constantly rising from the bottom of the pool. If he looked carefully, he could see a faint human figure in the milky white hot water pool.

“…Origami.”

Hearing Shidou's voice, the figure in the water finally surfaced. As expected, the owner of this figure was Tobiichi Origami. In fact, it was hard to think of anyone else who would do such a thing except her.

Meanwhile, of course, Origami was wearing nothing but mist and water droplets.

"Are you calling me, Shidou?"

Shidou covered his eyes as if prepared and asked helplessly.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

"I want to rub Shidou's back."

"So just dive in the pool?"

"Yes."

"Still naked?"

"That's the rule in public bathrooms."

"Isn't this the men's bath?"

"Look, the cards have been changed. It's a mixed bath now."

This origami lady didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her behavior.

"...It's been about ten minutes since I came in to take a shower..."

"Because when Shidou runs into the bathroom, Shidou element will be produced in the water."

"Isn't that a correct answer?! And what the hell is Shidou-so?"

“An essential ingredient that humans cannot live without.”

Origami was seen talking nonsense seriously while slowly approaching Shidou.

"It's difficult to wash yourself when you're injured, let me take care of it for you."

Shidou retreated in panic when he felt Origami approaching him.

"No, no need. I already washed myself before taking a bath."

"It's not clean enough. And the fact that there are so many Shidou's smells left behind is proof of that."

"The only ones who can smell it are military dogs like you and Tohka!"

Soon, Shidou felt something hard, like porcelain stone, touching his back - he had reached the edge of the bathhouse and had nowhere to go.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Origami grabbed Shidou's hands and pried them away from his eyes.

For a moment, the snow-white skin was reflected on his retina, and Shidou hurriedly closed his eyes.

"..."

Seeing Shidao being so stubborn, Origami also felt a little troubled, which was rare for her.

After hesitating for a moment, she said this.

"Shidou, don't worry. I'm wearing a swimsuit that only I can see."

"Are you still going to play the emperor's new clothes joke?"

Shidou couldn't help but complain loudly. To be honest, he was a healthy high school student. Should he look at the naked body of a beautiful girl like Origami or not? If possible, he would of course choose the former. But the problem was that if he couldn't resist the temptation, the result might not just be a feast for the eyes.

Hmm? What's wrong with that, you ask?

"Darling~~~~~~~~Let me rub your back!"

Mijiu rushed into the bathroom.

"What are you doing, Origami? Let go of Shidou!"

"Kuku - are you satisfied with the healing spring? I am here to accompany you."

"Translation. This is Yakuya, who came here despite his shame because of Miku's call to give Shidou benefits."

Soon, Tohka, Yakuya, Yui and others, wearing only a bath towel with their body curves exposed, walked into the bathroom.

"Don't make a fuss too much! Remember, Shidou's recovery comes first."

"I also want to... help Shidou rub his back..."

"Hey! Shidou-kun, here's a new swimsuit that Yoshino bought you, you lucky pervert!"

"Um...do I need to show up..."

Soon after, Kotori in a red bikini, Yoshino and Yoshina in blue dresses, and Nanashi in a blue and white striped swimsuit that looked like a prison uniform, also entered.

If asked which one to choose between welfare and life, Shidao would choose the latter!!

……

"Huh? Bili-chan, why are you still wearing clothes?"

Pointing at the bathroom door, Erya gave a thumbs up and showed a row of white teeth to Mengyue.

"Behind this door, what awaits us is a pool of wine and a forest of meat."

"I think it's the Shura Field that's about to erupt..."

Seeing Erya's lewd smile like an uncle, Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly.

"No thanks. I want to take a quiet bath, so I'll just go to the empty bathroom next door. I'm only here to bring towels to you and Origami Miku. Otherwise, if you guys stir up trouble, Shidou will definitely have trouble sleeping today."

"Hey, I know."

Although it was a bit disappointing, Erya still obediently took the bath towel and wrapped himself around it, then saluted Mengyue.
