"Rito-kun, let's go home together."
The final school bell rang. Students in the classroom packed their bags and left in groups of three and five. Sora and Lala walked up to Rito's desk and spoke.
"Sora-san, you guys should go on without me. I can just go home by myself."
Not wanting Sora and the others to suffer the same strange looks he did, Rito shook his head with a bitter smile.
He had clearly become haggard over the past few days. Because of the "godly trip" incidents, Rito was already mentally and physically exhausted. The moment he got near a girl, his legs would go weak and he'd involuntarily fall over. Rito was endlessly troubled by this suddenly awakened, shameless attribute, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Maybe I have some kind of weird disease, Rito was already thinking about whether he should go to the hospital in the next couple of days. If this kept up, he really couldn't go on living like this...
"Rito-kun, don't worry about what other people think. As long as your own conscience is clear, that's all that matters. And I've always believed in you, Rito-kun."
"Alright, don't overthink it. Let's go home together, or Mikan-chan might start to worry again."
Sora patted Rito's shoulder and comforted him, his expression full of sincere and boundless concern.
To be honest, Sora actually felt a little sorry for Rito. He didn't know what kind of bad luck the kid had stepped in, but ever since this "godly trip" awakened, it had been relentless!
Although for his own amusement, every time Rito was about to fall on a girl, he would use his light-speed ability to grab a few unlucky guys from nearby to take her place. It might look like he was messing with him, but from another perspective, he was actually trying very hard to help him.
At least after falling on so many guys, the most poor Rito-kun was called was a pervert. But if he had really fallen on that many girls, he'd probably be having tea with the police uncles at the station by now!
"Sora-san..."
Staring blankly at Sora, Rito sniffled, his heart overwhelmed with emotion.
When everyone else had abandoned him, distanced themselves from him, and despised him, thinking he was a pervert with a special fetish, only Sora-san still believed in him and encouraged him!
Sora-san, you're a good person. You're a really good person...
After saying goodbye to Haruna, Risa, and Mio, the familiar group of girls, Sora, Lala, and Rito walked out of the classroom together.
As they walked home, he continued to comfort and encourage Rito, hoping that this ill-fated young man would one day find his spring...
...
At a beverage shop by the roadside, two girls sat distractedly sipping black tea. They were Saki and Rin.
Their gazes drifted towards a certain direction from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
Since school was out, both girls had changed out of their school uniforms. Saki wore flesh-colored silk pants and a black, cinched-waist miniskirt, with a deep red jacket draped over it. She looked less youthful and lively, but had an added touch of maturity and charm.
As for Rin, she was in a black women's suit, looking capable and heroic, even giving off a cool and imposing feeling.
"Saki-sama, that Kusanagi Sora is too powerful. Should we really stop provoking him?"
Rin put down her tea. After some hesitation, she broke the silence.
Although she knew that saying something that boosted another's morale while dampening their own might anger Saki-sama, the thought of the incredible abilities Sora had displayed made a hint of terror and apprehension flash in Rin's eyes.
Previously, she had been bound to the wall by those strange chains. No matter what she and Saki-sama tried, they couldn't break free. It was only after they mysteriously disappeared on their own that she regained her freedom. Thinking back on it now, Rin still found it hard to believe, as if it were a dream.
That man was too powerful, too mysterious. Even she, who had practiced kendo and shooting since childhood, was no match for him. If Saki-sama were to fall into his hands and be bullied again...
"Rin, I know what you're worried about, and I know how troublesome and powerful that guy is!"
Saki also put down her tea. To Rin's slight surprise, Saki-sama wasn't angry this time, but was unusually calm.
"But, he dared to ignore me, mock me, and say I was childish like a little kid. And he even stole my carefully preserved first kiss!"
"Unforgivable... Unforgivable... If I don't teach him a harsh lesson, I absolutely cannot swallow this insult!"
Slamming a hand on the table, Saki gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.
In her entire life, when had she, Tenjōin Saki, ever suffered such an insult? When had she ever been taken advantage of like this? Not only was she thoroughly fooled by that Kusanagi Sora, but he had also stolen her precious first kiss. She was so aggrieved she wanted to cry; she had lost so much!
Even if she knew that provoking Sora again might cause her to lose even more, to be bullied by him again, she absolutely could not just swallow her anger and pretend nothing had happened!
Without considering the consequences, all she wanted now was to teach Sora a lesson, to get revenge on him, and to let him know just how formidable she, Saki, was!
Seeing Saki's determined look, Rin sighed inwardly. She knew she couldn't dissuade Saki-sama no matter what. All she could do was pray that things went smoothly and that they didn't end up making things worse and falling into that guy's hands again...
"Saki-sama, I'm back..."
Just then, a girl's voice came from a short distance away. It was Saki's other attendant, the bespectacled girl Aya, running towards them, panting.
"How did it go, Aya? Is everything taken care of?"
Saki stood up and grabbed Aya's shoulders, asking with an expectant look.
"Haah... haah... Saki-sama, the intelligence has been gathered, and the items are ready."
It was unclear what Saki had sent her to do, but she seemed quite tired. The blue-haired girl with glasses, Aya, answered while panting.
"Well done, Aya!"
Praising Aya, Saki's face was filled with excitement.
"To make me suffer such a great humiliation... damn you, Kusanagi Sora, just you wait. This time I will absolutely make you pay. You'll get a good taste of hell!"
"Ohohohoho... ohohohoho..."
The thought of brutally stomping Sora under her foot and making him cry and beg for mercy made Saki's heart race with excitement. She placed a hand on her hip and let out a triumphant, charming laugh.
"Ugh... Saki-sama, you're being too loud."
"Saki-sama, you'll bother the other customers."
Seeing the other customers looking over with displeasure, Rin and Aya were embarrassed. They quickly tugged on Saki's sleeve, telling her to tone it down and not laugh so loudly.
"Ahem... Rin, Aya, get ready. We move tonight!"
Coming back to her senses, Saki cleared her throat in embarrassment and commanded the two girls with a serious expression.
"Yes, Saki-sama!"
Looking at the time and thinking about the plan ahead, Saki couldn't help but reveal a dark and cold smile:
"Damn you, Kusanagi Sora, and you, that wretched Lala. Just you wait!"
...
"I'm Magical Girl Kyouko! I solve everything by burning it!"
"See you all next week at the same time!"
The ending theme song played from the television, signaling the end of the weekly episode of Magical Girl Kyouko.
"Sora, Sora, let's go take a bath!"
Dinner was eaten, and Magical Girl Kyouko was over. Lala bounced over and hugged Sora.
"Is it over already? Hmm, alright, let's go."
"Peke, deactivate transformation."
The two of them bathed together every day. He nodded and had Peke deactivate his transformation.
"Yes, Sora-sama."
Peke replied cheerfully and reverted to its small doll form. It was now its free time. Flapping its small black wings, it flew towards the refrigerator.
Ignoring Peke, Sora picked up Lala, who was only wearing her panties, and walked into the bathroom. It was now time for their nightly husband-and-wife entertainment.
Even though Sora's modifications had completely eliminated its energy problems, Peke still retained the habit of eating. It sat on the sofa, enjoying delicious snacks while watching TV, its little doll face filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Soon, the sound of running water and Princess Lala's strange cries came from the bathroom. Peke was puzzled. It didn't know what Princess Lala and Sora-sama did in there every night. Could taking a bath make such sounds? It's so strange...
Even though it was a highly intelligent robot, it was only programmed with absolute loyalty to Sora and Lala and lacked any normal creature's emotions. No matter how blood-boiling and suggestive Lala's voice was, it couldn't create any fluctuations in Peke's smart core.
Although it was a little curious, it didn't have the guts to peek, having been ordered by Sora never to do so.
While Peke was outside eating snacks and watching TV, the scene inside the bathroom was entirely different—
Perfectly heated water sprayed from the showerhead onto their bodies. Lala was kneeling at the edge of the bathtub, moaning unrestrainedly, her black, heart-tipped tail wagging back and forth in the air.
"Princess Lala, Sora-sama."
In the heat of the moment, Peke's voice suddenly came from outside. Sora, who was holding Lala's waist from behind and enjoying himself, immediately showed a look of displeasure.
"What is it? Didn't I order you not to disturb us at this time?"
He replied with a frown, a little annoyed, but Sora didn't stop his movements.
"Waaah... Sora-sama, I... I didn't mean to. I found intruders outside."
Still very afraid of Sora, Peke's nervous and stuttering voice came from outside again.
"Intruders?"
Muttering to himself, Sora used his senses and, with a dawning realization, immediately knew what was going on.
"Heh... so it's them!"
Looking at Lala in front of him, her expression dazed and her body constantly writhing, a wicked curve appeared on Sora's lips. It seemed some interesting things were going to happen tonight...
