This is not the date I wanted.

"Hey... Shidou, I feel... that after coming to this world, I was able to meet you... and become a family with you... It's really great."

"Eh? What did you say? You spoke so quietly that I couldn't hear you clearly."

"Nothing~"

Mengyue raised her head, looked up at the bright half moon in the sky, and a bright and moving smile appeared on her face.

05 Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing to take the bait...

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

"Well - it's about time for me to leave. After all, it wouldn't be good to stay too long and get discovered."

Stretching gently, Liangyi Mengyue walked out of the hot spring reluctantly.

"Ok?"

As soon as she walked out of the hot spring, Mengyue felt something strange.

The earth is shaking slightly.

Earthquake? No, this vibration was more like the vibration of a machine in operation. Although it was very weak, Meng Yue was still very sensitive to it.

However, Meng Yue had some idea about the occurrence of this kind of vibration.

Has Tobiichi Origami already invaded the hotel?

In response, Meng Yue raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

Fensalir is a coastal hotel owned by Ratatoskr. Of course, it is not just a hotel. Not only are there a large number of guards and anti-enemy traps around the perimeter, but there are also many transformation mechanisms inside to stop the enemy. As soon as they are activated, the structure of the house will suddenly become intricate and contain various dangerous traps.

In a sense, this hotel can be used as a fortress.

When Meng Yue saw the structural diagram of the hotel, she knew that without the power of the elves, it would be difficult for her to invade.

"Hmm? I was taking a shower in the bathroom, what's wrong... Hey, what were you doing? I had some tinnitus just now and didn't hear clearly... What?"

On the way to the locker room, Shidou's mumbling like he was talking to himself became gradually clearer. When he opened the door, Mengyue just happened to see Shidou Gokawa who had just put down the phone with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Someone's calling?"

"Ah! Meng, Mengyue! Ahem, sorry, are you ready to go out?"

After Shidou noticed Mengyue's presence, he waved his arms in panic, hurried back to the hot spring, closed the door, then calmed down and coughed awkwardly.

"Really... This is originally a men's locker room. I'm the one who made the mistake. Why are you feeling guilty?"

In response, Meng Yue chuckled and began to change her clothes.

"S-That's true."

Hearing Shidao's slightly stuttering voice from the other side of the door, Mengyue sighed lightly, changed into daytime casual clothes, and was about to leave.

But when his eyes unconsciously swept to Shidao's phone on the counter, he stopped and his face suddenly became solemn.

At this time, Shidao's phone had not yet entered the lock screen mode because it had just been placed, and the touch screen was displaying the call log side.

"...Shidou, did you talk to Origami on the phone just now?"

"Ah? Well, I just checked my phone to confirm the time and saw a missed call from Origami. In case it was urgent, I called her..."

"...You won't tell her you're taking a shower."

The corners of Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly.

"Yeah, I did say that, what's wrong?"

"..." In silence, Meng Yue heard bursts of explosions approaching here with her keen five senses. She sighed deeply and covered her face with her hands.

Shidou, you're such a great guy at selling out your teammates. It's likely that Kotori has been overwhelmed by Origami's attack...

Well...I have some responsibility.

"Shidou...can I borrow your clothes for a moment?"

“Oh…eh?”

Shidou responded subconsciously at first, then made a puzzled sound.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything weird with it. I'll just borrow it for a while while you take a shower. I'll definitely return it to you before you're done."

After explaining, Meng Yue silently added in her heart, "Shizhi's words are another matter."

"Well, in that case, I don't mind... I'm going to soak for a while anyway." Shidao scratched his head in confusion. After struggling for a while, he chose to believe Meng Yue's words, "But what are you going to do with my clothes?"

"Well...how should I put it?" Meng Yue pinched her chin, organized her words, and answered seriously, "For the safety of your chastity and sex, set up a bait trap."

"what?"

————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspective——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

With a low rumble like an earthquake, the corridor of the hotel was transformed like a puzzle. Some ran to the right, some ran to the left. The ceiling, walls and floor were changing endlessly, with a surreal charm.

To put it in a metaphor, it is like being in a huge clock or an engine with a complex structure. If an ordinary person is thrown into such a huge object, he will be unable to move because of instinctive fear.

However, today's Origami is an existence that is superior to Ashura.

My head was unusually clear and my consciousness was extremely lucid, as if every cell in my body was brimming with vitality, and an unprecedented sense of fullness dominated my entire body.

"--There!"

After muttering to herself, Origami threw away her backpack and began to jump.

Then he grabbed the wall with his hands to reach another path, then jumped and went deeper into the corridor.

It was as if he had fully understood the transformation rules of the inn: simple, smooth, with no unnecessary movements.

Even Origami herself was startled. ——She could feel it. By feeling. By instinct. By intuition. It was as if a light velvet was laid on the path she should be moving forward, and she could see the gaps in the transformation mechanism.

——Shidou is taking a bath.

Needless to say, it is against etiquette to wrap a towel around yourself in the bath. In other words, during the bath, only the hot water will cover Shidou's body. If they soak in the same bath together, it is equivalent to wearing the same clothes together. Just imagining this scene, Origami can feel the blood vessels in her body expanding continuously.

The synchronization rate between mind and body exceeded 400%. This was the first time Origami had fought in this state, and she said that she was now unstoppable.

As if hindering Origami's progress, the hotel corridor began to deform, blocking the way.

"..."

However, Origami did not panic. She reached to her waist, pulled out a grenade, pulled the ring with one smooth movement, and threw it forward.

——As a huge explosion sounded, the Path of Glory appeared in Origami's vision again.

Then, Origami continued to jump forward according to the guidance of the light - and finally arrived at the Promised Holy Land.

Although there was a sign at the door saying "Under maintenance, no entry", Origami kicked it aside without hesitation.

"Shidou——We are about to become one——"

Origami passed through the blue door curtain and took off her tattered clothes and the winning bra she had originally worn to be seen.

Origami, who looked like a newborn (author: "The original book described it this way..."), jumped towards the bathing area step by step.

"...!!?"

On the way, Origami held her breath because of something that appeared in her sight.

In a corner of the wide-mouthed dressing room, a thin line connected the ceiling and an object, swaying left and right in mid-air.

It was a pair of men's panties. At that time, there was only one wardrobe in use in the men's locker room, which meant that the owner of the clothes was beyond doubt.

Moreover, the girl's instinct also told Origami that the item had been used. The familiar smell passed through her nose faintly, and it was definitely not a fake item that had just been opened. (Author: "...")

"That item" was hung at a height where Origami had to jump to catch it, and beyond that position was a blind spot in Origami's vision. It was completely unpredictable what kind of danger was lurking in the shadow of that corner.

This is a trap—my own rationality is constantly sounding the alarm in my mind.

--but!

"Shidou's underwear... is in danger!"

After taking a quick look at the clothes basket and finding that the items in it were exactly what she was looking at, Origami clenched her fists nervously.

Shidao's clothes are the most precious treasure in the world, much more precious than the "one piece" that is nowhere to be found in the Grand Route pursued by pirates... No! It is a priceless treasure that is completely inestimable. If it is wasted in the hands of a thief without vision, it is an unforgivable sin. For this reason, the item must be in his own hands, and he must put it in a titanium alloy vault and refrigerate it!

Even if it's a trap, so what? To protect it, I'll sacrifice my life!

After coming up with countless reasons in her mind to justify her actions, Origami made up her mind and took a deep breath.

Origami jumped up with the agility of a deer, and after calculating the timing and position, she took off Shidou's panties with precise techniques without any damage.

Then, the moment she landed in the blind spot she had just judged, Origami made quick action.

Take a deep breath - Beautiful. Ah, the world is so beautiful, life is so wonderful!

Origami breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"Although I could have predicted the ending when I set the trap...but when I really saw this scene, I really wanted to say - are you a genius, an idiot, or a pervert!?"

She heard someone's voice from behind, and the next moment, a strong feeling of numbness spread throughout her body, making her fall into a coma unable to resist like a puppet with its strings cut.

06 It’s too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost…

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

There was a startling explosion somewhere in the hotel, and the plaster on the ceiling broke into pieces of rubble and fell down.

It seems that Tobiichi Origami blew up the blocked road with a bomb. What a promiscuous woman! Kotori frowned in hatred.

“You’re actually trying to play this trick on me…! That’s exactly what I want. If that’s the case, then let’s——!”

At this moment, Kotori stopped talking.

The map originally displayed on the mobile phone screen began to show noise, and eventually became unable to display anything.

"Wha...wait a minute! What's going on?!"

"Because the explosion machine just now caused an abnormality! Unable to confirm!"

Kotori shouted with such force that she almost dropped her phone to the ground.

"Hurry up and repair it! It's like there's an alien hiding in the ship! At least we have to find her, otherwise things will get really bad--"

"? What's going to be bad?"

"...!"

Kotori couldn't help but tremble her shoulders at the sudden sound.

Turning my face behind me, I found Tohka standing there with her head tilted, wearing a kimono and just coming out of the bath.

"To-Tohka... and everyone..."

Behind Tohka is Yoshino Reine, who is also wearing a kimono. There is also the Yamai sisters who ran to the bathhouse without taking a kimono. It seems that everyone has finished bathing.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, Kotori. I wanted to wait until you came, but I was so hungry when you didn't come."

As soon as Tohka finished speaking, her stomach started to make cute rumbling sounds in response to her.

"This, this is it..."

Kotori answered with a somewhat excited voice. At this moment, Reine seemed to have noticed something, and after twitching her eyebrows, she shook her head slightly.

——I think it would be better not to make Tohka and the others feel uneasy.

"..."

The time limit has expired. Kotori let out a breath and whispered into the headset.

"...I'm going to leave for a while. Once we confirm her reaction, we'll catch them no matter what. Also, remember to transform so that they don't see the parts that were damaged by the origami."

“Got it!”

After hearing the team members' answers, Kotori turned back to Tohka and the others. Then the Yamai sisters grabbed Kotori's hands symmetrically.

"Kuku... just in time. Kotori-ru is coming too!"

"Let's go. We are planning to go meet Shidou."

“Eh…? Ah, that…”

Kotori was pulled away from the battle line semi-forced by the Yamai sisters, holding their hands.
