"Don't attribute your failures solely to the shortcomings of your physique."
"Some women can be very cute even with small chests."
"Your ugliness is comprehensive!"
Tenya's merciless mockery, like a volley of arrows, left the strange woman utterly devastated.
"Woooahhhhh!!!"
Under a series of mournful roars, the strange woman collapsed on her own, turning into a wisp of black mist and dissipating.
Killing by Emotional Damage...
That's a first.
Alisa watched, dumbfounded.
"Alya, I think I just heard..."
Having heard Alisa's scream, Maria rushed out of the room immediately.
"Eh—?!"
Maria covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide.
On the sofa, Alisa was sprawled naked on Tenya.
Their posture at this moment couldn't even be described as suggestive. It could simply be called indecent!
"Sister, I... Huh?!"
Alisa was startled at first, then looked up and met Tenya's eyes at close range.
"Hehe~"
Tenya gave a polite, not awkward, smile.
At this moment, the Shield Hero rose from his slumber to praise Alisa.
Woooo—!!!
Steam Engine activated!
Alisa's fair skin quickly became tinged with a blush at a visible speed.
Under the intense impact of shame, her vision became filled with stars and she fainted.
"Masha-senpai, this..."
Tenya raised both hands, indicating he was innocent.
"Forbidden!"
Maria rushed over quickly and wrapped the fainted Alisa in a towel.
"This kind of thing..."
Maria, blushing, advised tactfully, "For Alya and Tenya-kun, it's still too early!"
In her opinion, her younger sister seemed to be the proactive one, which from her standpoint was quite awkward.
Tenya said truthfully, "Actually, it's not early."
"No way!"
Maria said earnestly and confidently.
Then she lowered her head and mumbled in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "Если ты действительно не можешь сдерживаться..." (If you really can't hold back...)
"Oh ho! Masha-senpai, can you do it instead?" Tenya's eyes lit up instantly, this was an unexpected surprise!
"Ah?"
"You, can you understand Russian?"
Maria was startled at first, then her face and ears turned red.
"That's not the point!"
Tenya pressed, "Masha-senpai, are you serious?"
Maria denied it bashfully, "No, I'm not..."
"That's not what I meant!"
Her gaze wandered, yet she couldn't help but steal glances at the magnificent shield hero.
"If not that meaning, then what meaning is it?" Tenya pressed for an answer.
"I mean..."
"I can lend... lend you something..."
"To handle it yourself!"
Maria covered her burning face with one hand and pointed with the other towards the fresh clothes placed in the washing machine not far away.
This was something she had heard from a close friend, who said some boys like this kind of thing.
After some friction, the shield hero should calm down, right?
"Masha-senpai, are you looking down on me?"
Tenya instantly understood what Maria meant, and a speechless expression appeared on his face.
Is he that kind of person?
Can mere mundane objects suffice?
"Then... then what does Tenya-kun want?" Maria asked.
...
Tenya's eyes narrowed, and he had a bold idea in his heart. However, he quickly dismissed it.
Maria would definitely disagree with such an excessive request.
It must be within the other party's psychological tolerance level...
"Masha-senpai, your hands look pretty smooth."

The next morning.
After a night of good sleep, Alisa's body recovered its vitality.
"Good morning, Tenya-kun..."
Alisa pinched the space between her eyebrows, feeling like she'd forgotten something important.
"Good morning, Alisa-san."
"You look like you're in good spirits."
Tenya took a closer look and saw that Alisa's body was fine.
Alisa asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel like you look refreshed..."
"Oh right, where's sister?"
Tenya pointed to the room and said, "She was tired last night, let her sleep in a bit longer."
"Tired...?"
"Could it be because she was taking care of me?"
A look of concern appeared on Alisa's face.
"No, it was for me." Tenya showed a look of relish and said.
"Huh?"
"Your smile feels so disgusting!"
Alisa stared at his face with a suspicious look.

Conference room.
Under Yukino's leadership, everyone was working in an orderly manner.
Yukino said, "You're finally back, Kujou-san."
Alisa replied, "My deepest apologies, you've worked hard during this time, Yukinoshita-san."
Alisa returned as the Executive Committee Chairperson.
Everyone felt very happy upon seeing her.
Although Alisa was also strong-willed, compared to Yukino's cold, sharp tongue and poisonous words, they would rather accept the former's management.
"Today's topic is the issue of the Cultural Festival slogan that President Shirogami conveyed earlier."
Thanks to Tenya's help in organizing the documents, Alisa was able to smoothly grasp the progress of the work.
Miko leaned over and said, "You worked hard, Tenya-kun."
"Last night, you must have stayed up quite late helping Kujou-san, right?"
Tenya vaguely said, "It was alright."
Yukino mercilessly exposed his secret, "Because it was late, you just stayed over at Kujou-san's house, right?"
Tenya said with feigned anger, "Yukino, are you eavesdropping again?"
"Don't change the subject!" Yukino looked at him with cold eyes.
Miko's gaze shifted, implying something, "An expected outcome."
"However, since Kujou-san is here, it means Tenya-kun was quite well-behaved last night."
When he had stayed over at her house back then, it had caused her to miss school the next day.
"Well..."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Tenya's face.
He thought that while Alisa had come to school, Maria had taken a leave of absence.
