Days passed, and Miku had been staying at Inaba Tsukiyo's house for almost a week.
During this time, Miku had been undergoing various training programs under Inaba Tsukiyo's guidance. Besides some physical training, there was also vocal training.
The latter training was fine. Although Inaba Tsukiyo had temporarily sealed her Spirit power, she could at least speak normally, and her favorite thing was singing.
But the former made her want to die. She was not a person who liked to exercise. Even after becoming a Spirit and her physical fitness improved, Inaba Tsukiyo's physical training was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Every time it was jump rope and running in the Imaginary Space. Besides physical exhaustion, she always felt her shoulders were very sore.
Several times she reported this situation to Inaba Tsukiyo, but facing her pitiful self, Inaba Tsukiyo just slightly opened her eyes, looked at her front, and didn't say another word.
Although there was fixed training every day, Miku didn't dislike this kind of life. On the contrary, she quite liked the days she spent with Inaba Tsukiyo and the others.
Although she didn't know if this symptom was Stockholm Syndrome, Inaba Tsukiyo, Nia, Yoshino, and Kurumi all treated her sincerely, unlike those people outside who would wear false masks to fawn over her.
(Miku: The people here speak so nicely, everyone is talented, I absolutely love it here.)
One morning, Inaba Tsukiyo, who was eating breakfast, noticed something was amiss. Besides Yoshino, Miku, and Clone Kurumi, where was Main Body Kurumi?
Nia was always busy with her manuscript, so she always had her breakfast brought to her. But what was going on with Main Body Kurumi?
"Kurumi, why isn't your Original Body here? What is she doing?"
"Ah~ Original Body, well. She has something going on in her room. She told me to bring her breakfast after I finish mine."
Kurumi was a bit afraid to look Inaba Tsukiyo in the eyes. Thinking about what Original Body was doing in her room, she felt a little guilty and didn't know whether to tell the truth.
Kurumi's behavior was noticed by Inaba Tsukiyo. She didn't understand why Kurumi showed that expression. Was that girl doing something big in her room?
To prevent that girl from blowing up her house, after finishing breakfast, Inaba Tsukiyo took the breakfast Kurumi had prepared, which made Kurumi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kurumi, wake up. I brought your breakfast."
Inaba Tsukiyo carried the breakfast to Kurumi's room door, gently knocked, and called out.
About half a minute passed, and the door finally opened.
What made Inaba Tsukiyo's brow twitch was that it wasn't a well-dressed Kurumi who appeared before her, but a 'corpse'.
To be precise, it was a girl with long black hair, disheveled, crawling out from inside, slowly raising her head. Her face, obscured by her long hair, only revealed one crimson pupil, looking so terrifying.
"Kyaaa!!!"
Yoshino and Miku, who were watching intensely from behind, were startled by this sight. After a cute scream, they fled back.
She had already reminded Yoshino and Miku not to watch such strange movies at night, yet they never listened.
Sighing helplessly, Inaba Tsukiyo placed the plate in her hand on the ground and tidied Kurumi's hair, revealing her fair and delicate face.
Around her beautiful crimson eyes, there was a thick layer of dark circles, which gave Kurumi a peculiar… sense of beauty?
"Mmm mmm mmm~ It's only a little past seven, why wake me up? Let me sleep for another hour."
Kurumi stretched lazily, let out a long yawn, and her slightly tired voice was full of charming allure.
If it were a teenager in the throes of puberty, hearing the girl's voice would surely excite him.
However, this trick didn't have much effect on Inaba Tsukiyo. She knew very well that this girl was just like that.
"Even if you want to rest, you should eat breakfast first. Even if you are a Spirit, you can still die suddenly."
Easily picking up Kurumi's body, she carried Kurumi back to the room, brought in the breakfast placed at the room door, and said in an unrefusable tone.
"Is that so? Hehe, then I'll leave it to Tsukiyo-chan."
"Do what? Are you expecting me to feed you? You're not a child anymore, yet you still want to be fed. Aren't you ashamed?!"
"Hehe~ Anyway, it's just me and Tsukiyo-chan left here. I'll only show this messy side of myself to Tsukiyo-chan. And you're the one who told me to stay, so you have to take responsibility for me, Tsukiyo-chan."
"...Tokisaki Kurumi!!!"

"And If you're enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!"
ney easily leads to depravity. Original Body didn't know where Inaba Tsukiyo got so much money, such that she hadn't noticed this for several weeks.
