This is not the date I wanted.

"Um... Can Meng Yue ask you a question?"

Shidou, who was fully immersed in the bathtub with only his head exposed, asked Meng Yue who was standing beside him.

"what?"

Because she was busy with her homework, Meng Yue answered without turning her head.

Shidou looked at Mengyue, who had two more black windbreaker sleeves on her arms and the collar of her windbreaker turned into a high collar. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Mengyue who had partially unfolded her spiritual outfit.

Although this is also a matter of concern, this is not what Shidou wants to ask.

"What's that oversized bag?"

At this time, Liangyi Mengyue was tying up a giant sack as big as her next to the bathtub.

"...Shi...Dao..."

As if hearing Shidao's voice, the bundle shook slightly and emitted a subtle low hum.

Really... I have clearly used bioelectricity to emit a strong hypnotic signal that would allow an elephant to sleep for two days, so why is Tobiichi Origami still reacting?

In desperation, Mengyue released another electric shock, forcing Madai, who showed signs of consciousness, to fall into a coma again.

"Oh... this..." Meng Yue shrugged at Shidao and said seriously, "Nothing, don't ask anything! This is better for Shidao."

You know, the guy inside is in a completely vacuum state. I just went to find a sack to wrap her up because I couldn't stand it.

"..."

No, now that you put it like that, I feel like digging deeper into this matter. It's super suspicious, isn't it?

"By the way, Shidou..." Perhaps with the intention of changing the subject, or perhaps it was a sudden thought, Meng Yue apologized to herself with a wry smile, "Sorry, I don't think I can return your panties to you."

“Hey hey hey hey hey! The clothes you said you wanted to borrow were my panties!?”

Shidou shouted while stretching his eyes to their maximum.

"Well... because it is the most effective bait." Meng Yue scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.

As a result, because it was so effective, the prey directly pressed the claws against its face and could not get rid of it even if it died. Meng Yue thought speechlessly.

"How can I get out like this..."

Shidou squatted in the bathtub and groaned.

"There are pants in the locker room anyway, right? Why not just put them on and keep yourself naked?"

"Can you do it!!!?"

"cannot!"

Meng Yue answered as if it was a matter of course.

"Then you still say it!"

After Shidao finished complaining, Mengyue nodded as if satisfied, removed some of her spiritual equipment, took out a small box from her pocket and placed it on the ground.

"Here! The men's panties are here."

"Why do you have this kind of thing..."

Meng Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance at Shidao's puzzled look.

"Will you be able to accept women's underwear after becoming a woman?"

"Gu——!"

Shidao was speechless for a moment at Mengyue's words. If it wasn't for the special circumstances, he would not even accept wearing women's clothes, let alone women's underwear.

"Wait! Are you saying this is your inner—"

Before Shidao could finish his words, Mengyue picked up the wooden barrel and hit him in the face.

"Don't have those disgusting delusions, be perverted! I bought this in the store yesterday and I haven't opened it yet!" Mengyue stared at Shidao with red cheeks and clenched teeth.

"S-Sorry!"

"..."

After taking a deep breath, Meng Yue's face returned to normal and she dragged the sack on the ground onto her shoulder.

"Tohka and the others will be here soon, so I'll leave now."

As she spoke, Mengyue used the great strength of the elf to climb over the wall with the bag wrapped in origami and disappeared into the bathhouse.

"What on earth are you doing..."

Shidou could only mutter speechlessly.

"Shidou! It's almost time for dinner!"

"Kukukuk, how long are you going to stay in the bath? Have you been cursed by Hypnos?"

"Warning. Please be aware that taking a bath for too long can damage your body."

Just as Mengyue said, Tohka and the others' voices came from the locker room, and Shidou hurriedly replied.

"Oh! Sorry, I got lost accidentally. I clearly checked the time... You guys go first! I'll be there soon."

Soon, Kotori seemed to understand Shidou's feelings of not daring to come out because of them being outside, and urged everyone to go out.

"Well...I'm almost leaving..."

After drying his body with a towel, Shidou opened the box of men's panties and put them on, then returned to the locker room and put on casual clothes.

"……Eh?"

Then, when Shidou saw the item in the corner of his clothes, a stunned expression appeared on his face.

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

"Well... that's good!"

After placing the origami in the hotel’s warehouse, Mengyue wiped the sweat from her head.

However, leaving an unconscious and naked girl alone in a warehouse... is not safe.

Origami's original clothes had already been torn apart by the invasion, so Meng Yue simply went to the convenience store to buy a set of casual clothes and underwear, as well as some emergency food, and placed them not far from Origami. After making sure that the doors and windows were locked, Meng Yue returned to the room with peace of mind.

To be honest, although the elves and AST are in a hostile relationship, Mengyue is not overly averse to the appearance of Origami. In a sense, she even admires this female warrior who can do anything for love.

If it weren't for the fact that Tohka's bad mood might cause a series of chain reactions that would make the trip meaningless, Mengyue would also welcome Origami to join the trip.

"But if we continue to let Origami do what she wants, Kotori-chan will definitely collapse under the pressure, not to mention Tohka."

Mengyue felt that she also had to take some responsibility for not telling Kotori that Shido had a transmitter on his body at the beginning out of bad taste.

……

"Let's awaken Shidou's male instincts!"

When she returned to the room and heard Kotori declare this in front of everyone, Liangyi Mengyue understood.

It's too late to mend the fold...

07 The enemy is ashamed, I will take off his clothes

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

Well, the time was about half past eight in the evening.

After dinner, Shidou returned to the men's room, and the others returned to the women's room.

Kotori is in a very confused mood right now, because when she went to greet Shidou who had been taking a bath for too long, Kotori accidentally saw something.

——Female underwear fell out from Shidou's undressing frame.

If it was just stolen, it would be fine (although in that case, Shidou would definitely be beaten up). However, the male panties that should be there are not inside, which means... I guess.

Although Kotori did emphasize many times that he should understand girls' feelings.

But this is just a preparation for talking to the elves, it does not mean that you will become a girl.

However, even if we say this, we cannot confirm whether Shidao really has a sexual fetish for wearing women's underwear, but considering that his mind has undergone some changes due to the women's clothing in the previous raid, it is possible that he is excited about wearing women's accessories. This issue cannot be easily ignored.

Although there was some concern that Origami had already invaded the hotel, the situation had now reached the point where he had no time to spare.

So, an idea came to Kotori.

"……game?"

Reine, who had been in a daze in the corner, asked in confusion. Kotori nodded slowly and laid out the cards she had prepared in advance.

Kotori coughed lightly and said, "Actually, this is a game with very simple rules. First, everyone is given a role-playing card. Then, they go to Shidou in order and play the role written on the card. Then, they go to Shidou in order and play the role written on the card. And based on the result - the one who awakens Shidou's male instinct wins!"

Then, everyone except Ling Yin was stunned.

"Awakening male instincts...?"

"That...what does it mean?"

"Humph. If we were to have a competition, I would definitely not hold back my strength, but don't you think the content of this competition is a little hard to understand?"

“I agree and hope to provide clearer standards.”

"Kotori-chan... I'm sorry, I'm not ready to go that far yet. Besides, Shidou is only sixteen years old..."

When hearing this, Meng Yue's first reaction was that Gokawa Kotori was under great pressure due to Origami's invasion, and she couldn't suppress her inner loneliness for a while. She ran to Shidao to try to break through the boundary of the sibling taboo, but after failing, she was so desperate that she planned to attack him in a group... Well, no matter how you look at it, this is too far-fetched.

"That's not what I meant! Um... I really didn't express myself clearly enough... Let me think about it..."

Kotori couldn't help but hesitate. She knew how ridiculous her words were. But for Kotori, who had lost her composure at the moment, she couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse. After scratching her head vigorously, she suddenly raised her head.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

“Ouch…!”

Everyone was startled by Kotori's sudden shout.

"In short...! I need everyone's strength! If... this operation fails, Shidou... Shidou may not be Shidou anymore..."

Kotori-chan...even if you talk like his second personality is about to awaken, it still doesn't make any sense.

After hearing what Kotori said, Mengyue had a row of black lines on her head, but the others held their breath nervously.

"W-What's going on?! Shidou is no longer Shidou...?!"

"...Yes. I cannot reveal the details. But the current situation is very dangerous. - I know what I said is willful, but I really need your help...!"

(Even if you said something cool like the protagonist...)

"Keep your head up, Kotori. I get it, and I'm going to help you!"

Tohka put her hand on Kotori's shoulder and responded seriously.

(Ah... the idiot appears...)

Meng Yue couldn't help but hold her forehead with a headache.

"Ms. Reine...what happened to Kotori-chan?"

Meng Yue asked Ling Yin who was beside her, and Ling Yin shook her head in confusion.

"I don't know... He seemed a little abnormal during the meal. Maybe it was due to some accumulated stress..."

"Uh..." Meng Yue felt a little uneasy.

With Tohka's joining, the touching atmosphere of the boys' comics seemed to infect others. After being moved, Yoshino and the Yamai sisters also expressed their willingness to participate in this game.

"Kotori-chan, what are you talking about all of a sudden? Do you have a fever?"

Mengyue ran to Qinli in panic and put her hand on Qinli's head.

Hmm... Although it's warm, it's not to the point of having a fever.

"It's okay, Sister Mengyue."

Gently pushing Mengyue's hand away, Qinli shook her head, looking more serious and earnest than ever before, and said while holding her hands.

"It may sound mean to say these things, but since Shidou has helped you, please save him no matter what!"

(Don't use your passionate youth lines on me!)

"Um...well...I'll try my best..."

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Although Mengyue felt that Shidou's condition should not be as exaggerated as Kotori said, she still chose to agree because of the guilt for adding too much pressure to Kotori.
