Hikari smiled faintly and pulled both girls into his embrace, laughing.
"You are both my wings."
Upon hearing Hikari's words, Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya simultaneously widened their eyes, then quickly fell silent.
Whether it was due to anger, embarrassment, or something else, no one could tell.
Soon, Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya began trembling all over, their eyes rolling back in unison…
———
After Hikari's thorough "disciplinary lesson" with his "holy rod,"
the Sakuramiya sisters finally understood clearly that neither of them could withstand Hikari alone.
They had to team up to barely hold their own against him.
The reason they had felt fine earlier in the archery club's lounge was only because Hikari had gone easy on them.
Watching Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya, now exhausted and lying on the table but still holding hands, Hikari nodded.
He wiped away the sweat glistening on their fair, flushed skin and asked with concern, "Are you two alright?"
Even though this had been a one-versus-two match, Hikari was well aware of his own strength and the Sakuramiya sisters' fragility, so he made sure to check on them.
"We're… we're fine…", Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya answered together, their voices still trembling slightly, clearly worn out from earlier.
But after responding, their delicate bodies quickly rose from the table.
One moved behind Hikari to massage his shoulders, while the other knelt to rub his legs.
"Hikari-kun, you must be tired too. Let me massage you…", Sakuramiya Hinata pressed her soft, ample chest against the back of Hikari's head as her small hands gently kneaded his shoulders.
"Hikari-kun, you must've strained your legs from… from moving so fast earlier. Let me massage them for you," Sakuramiya Saya spread her skirt on the floor, kneeling beside Hikari as her small hands worked on his thigh muscles.
Seeing the Sakuramiya sisters being so attentive and dutiful, Hikari found it both amusing and touching.
His current physical condition could be described as superhuman, so dealing with the two of them had been nothing.
After all, he had handled gatherings of five and even conquered Yukino, a yuki-onna, so the Sakuramiya sisters were hardly a challenge.
But the sisters were indeed considerate and obedient.
They even knew how to serve him.
Despite having just received his "private tutoring" and being thoroughly exhausted, they still took the initiative to massage him. They really were too good.
"I'm not as tired as you think. You two should rest," Hikari advised them. Given their intimate relationship, it was only natural for him to care about them.
Sakuramiya Saya, however, shook her head, "I'm not tired either. Hikari-kun, you worked so hard earlier. Not only did you have to deal with me, but you also had to guide young Hinata. Even though I know you're amazing, really incredible, Hinata wasn't very cooperative earlier, so it must've been tiring for you. Let me keep massaging your legs."
Hearing Sakuramiya Saya insist she wasn't tired while also taking a jab at her, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't let it slide. She immediately said to Hikari, "Hikari-kun, I'm not tired either! And earlier, Saya-nee had no sense of romance and even bit you! I'm the one who should be doing this. How shameless of someone to say otherwise."
"Why should I be shameless…?", Seeing the Sakuramiya sisters about to start bickering again, Hikari grabbed one of each of their slender wrists and interjected, "It's fine. You both did well. I'm very satisfied with today's tutoring session."
Hearing Hikari's praise, both Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya's faces lit up with joy.
But when they noticed the other's happy expression, they quickly turned away with a huff.
Then, they both crouched in front of Hikari and silently continued serving him.
Watching the Sakuramiya sisters, now articulate and clearly vying for his favor, Hikari suddenly recalled the first time he had seen them during the club recruitment fair.
Back then, the sisterly duo had exuded an air of yuri intimacy, clinging to each other and sharing a single popsicle.
Now, they were still pressed together, sharing a single popsicle.
But just as one cannot step into the same river twice, the popsicle the Sakuramiya sisters were now sharing was no longer the same one as before.
Yet the scene was vastly different.
Back then, the Sakuramiya sisters had despised men, but now they were fighting over one, turning sister against sister. Truly, times had changed, and it was enough to make one sigh.
Amidst the rosy atmosphere, Hikari let out an untimely sigh.
Hearing this, the Sakuramiya sisters immediately looked up.
"Mmm… Hikari-kun, what's wrong?", Sakuramiya Hinata asked, her words slightly muffled.
"Uh… did Hinata hurt you, Hikari-kun?", Sakuramiya Saya also mumbled indistinctly.
"Mmph… It must've been Saya-nee who made Hikari-kun uncomfortable!"
"No, it was Hinata who disappointed Hikari-kun!"
Listening to the sisters shifting blame, Hikari smiled, "No, neither of you made me unhappy or disappointed. You both made me feel very good."
"I was just sighing, a sigh of happiness."
"Also, you've rested enough, right? Let's play a game."
With that, as Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya let out simultaneous cries of surprise, Hikari pulled them both into his arms.
———
In a daze, Hikari felt as if he had returned to the club recruitment fair, seeing Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya ignoring him once more.
But this time, Hikari didn't hold back or overlook them. Instead, he directly scolded the intimate sisters for their impropriety in public and their cold attitude toward underclassmen, calling them unfit as senior club members.
At first, the Sakuramiya sisters maintained their aloof senior demeanor, paying Hikari no mind.
But soon, Hikari's masterful archery skills, his pinpoint accuracy in hitting the bullseye with every shot and his astonishing speed of firing ten arrows in a second, completely conquered the sisters, the archery club's prized flowers.
At the same time, he thoroughly defeated and subdued them.
In no time, Hikari turned the Sakuramiya sisters from indifference to complete submission, from haughtiness to pleading for mercy.
As the saying goes, "Those who excel become teachers." The Sakuramiya sisters humbly sought his guidance, kneeling before him.
Hikari held nothing back, imparting all his knowledge, and the sisters learned earnestly, repaying his kindness tenfold.
———
Roughly a few hours later, Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya were so exhausted from their training that they collapsed, gasping for breath, their bodies trembling slightly and their eyelids fluttering uncontrollably.
After feeding them both some Pure Love-brand nutrient drink and waiting for them to recover slightly, Hikari asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
"We're… we're fine. Hikari-kun is just too incredible…", Sakuramiya Hinata straightened her aching, nearly disassembled body and answered weakly.
"Mmm… Hikari-kun is really amazing. We… we were wrong to treat you so coldly when we first met. We'll spend the rest of our lives making it up to you," Sakuramiya Saya clung to Hikari's arm, her voice sweet and tender.
Noticing the faint Pure Love marks on the sisters' flat stomachs,
Hikari smiled and ruffled their hair, "Good. I believe you."
"You should rest now. Do you want me to walk you back to class?"
The Sakuramiya sisters smiled happily but shook their heads, "No need. We'll rest here a bit longer."
"Alright. There are clean uniforms in the storage locker over there. The passcode is 1024. You can change later," Hikari reminded them, noting how their uniforms were now tattered from their excessive "training."
Since Natsuha and Akane often dragged him to the rooftop at noon for some post-lunch "exercise," they had prepared spare uniforms in the locker for changing afterward when they got sweaty.
Of course, the used uniforms were always taken home to wash, and the locker's contents were untouched, secured with a passcode.
The rooftop was usually deserted, so there was no risk of theft.
But today, with the Sakuramiya sisters here, the spare uniforms came in handy.
After telling Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya they could change in the hidden storage room, leaving them extra Pure Love amulets, and confirming their safety through the linked Pure Love paper cranes, Hikari closed the door and quickly left the rooftop.
———
His steps were hurried.
Although he had confirmed that the Sakuramiya sisters could safely rest there with no one else around, and they had urged him to leave first, under normal circumstances, Hikari wouldn't have left so abruptly.
After all, they had just finished their "session." They were all tired. And the Sakuramiya sisters were still very inexperienced.
Normally, Hikari would have stayed to let them rest before escorting them back to class.
But his rushed departure had a reason.
Just moments ago, the Pure Love Radar had activated.
As the Pure Love Warrior, Hikari naturally chose to set out immediately.

[Classroom]
Morishita Wataru, his bangs covering his eyes and exuding a gloomy aura, unpopular with girls, clutched his phone tightly.
His expression was tense, but his eyes flickered with excitement.
Staring at the word "Hypnosis" on his phone screen, he trembled with anticipation, his grip tightening until his veins bulged.
"Soon… I'll have you, Shirakawa-sensei!"
Morishita had been troubled lately.
The money his parents had given him for rent and living expenses had accidentally been spent on in-game purchases days ago.
So recently, he had been scraping by on part-time work and frugality.
But that wasn't what angered him most.
What infuriated him was that Shirakawa Miwa, the beautiful, voluptuous, and gentle literature teacher he had long harbored feelings for, had been growing closer to that guy, Hikari.
Morishita had long been jealous of Hikari. Though Hikari, like him, seemed socially awkward with few friends, he was far more handsome and surrounded by gorgeous girls, sparking envy in many boys, including Morishita.
But that wasn't the worst part. What Morishita couldn't stand was Hikari's growing closeness to his dream girl, his self-proclaimed first love, Shirakawa Miwa-sensei, who was always so kind even to someone like him
To Morishita, Shirakawa Miwa was his supreme goddess.
Back when he had been humiliated by Tsukishima Kyoko in the staff room, it was Shirakawa Miwa's offhand remark that had saved him.
Since then, Morishita had grown increasingly infatuated.
She was so gentle, kind, and beautiful, not just her face but her perfect figure. Everything about her was impossibly flawless.
So when he saw Hikari growing closer to Shirakawa Miwa, flirting and laughing with her, Morishita felt as if his heart were bleeding.
Watching Hikari frequently being called to the staff room for breakfast with Shirakawa Miwa, seeing her smile and chat with him every day, Morishita's envy kept him up at night.
He hated that it wasn't him. He hated Hikari. Envy and jealousy consumed him.
But the cowardly Morishita didn't dare show it.
Even without Hikari, he lacked the courage to confess to Shirakawa Miwa, a teacher. And given Hikari's physique, he could probably kill Morishita with one punch.
Under Hikari's intimidating aura, Morishita couldn't even meet his eyes, always keeping his distance.
