Miss Yurin asked, "But how do you know that there are soldiers in this village?"
I replied, "Because Harumi told us that there are more girls with 'abnormal' powers, so... I guessed."
"Wow!" The royal family and the maids clapped.
"Huh! Just for remembering that short thing?" Rin said.
On the other hand, I was in fear. What am I doing? They are in my room and I'm fueling these girls to fight monsters without any specific reason! If they find out that I'm hiding this matter, I don't know what they will do!
We all took a bath after breakfast and wore the new merged clothes—a modern version (from Ai's mom and dad) plus the old version (from the royal girls) emerged. The clothes were looking so unique. I wore a kimono-type loose-sleeve top with a long end and pants with a kimono belt. The girls were wearing the same, but they were wearing skirts instead of pants.
The royal family girls exclaimed with joy, "Wow! So... beautiful!"
"Yeah, it's very unique," Yuzuki commented.
"Okay! I've taken my swords!" Lorfa informed.
"Done! Let's spy!" Tsukiko exclaimed.
I tried to stop them. "May—maybe... the Resident of Evil isn't behind their disappearance," I said with a trembling tongue.
"Huh! How? And you were the main planner," Charolina questioned.
I replied, "I don't know, I'm—"
"Why did you stop?" Hinata questioned (the cosplayer).
I gulped with fear. I was wet with sweat; my eyes were fixed on the long stairs leading upstairs.
They all turned that way. Some girls were descending the stairs.
We all wailed, "You were in this castle!?"
Rin and the other girls came close to us, then Rin said, "Don't you know, Ahiro-kun?"
I was scared and gulped again. I replied, "What don't I know?"
"Don't try to act innocent! You are the culprit!" She pointed her finger toward me like a detective who had caught a criminal. The other girls were surprised.
"Is it true, Ahiro?" Miss Yurin asked.
"N-No! Actually Ame..."
Rin blocked me. "Every culprit tries to hide their guilt by blaming another person, but you're the culprit!"
"No! He's not the culprit!" The queen protested, supported by her daughters and the maids.
"Don't act like his doggy or his b*tch!" Rin shouted.
They moved toward each other, burning with anger. At that moment, Ame stepped between them.
They both shouted at her, "What!?"
Ame said, "Sorry... the one who started it was me. At night, I was afraid for Ahiro. I feared that because Ahiro is liked by many girls, someone might try to enter his room at night and take his virginity... so I got out of my room and silently slept beside him."
"Whaaaaaat!?" Except for me, all the girls screamed.
"So what about the other girls?" Lorfa asked.
Then Sayaka and I explained everything.
"Ah! So... it was just a coincidental tragedy," Miss Yurin commented.
"We want you to apologize to Ahiro!" Ame, Kagatari, and Natsumi shouted at Rin.
"O-okay." She turned toward me and said—
"So—" I hugged her. She was surprised, and all the girls were shocked.
I said, "You don't have to apologize... you're my 'Girlpanion' after all..."
The queen's family and Tsukiko said, "How cute!"
The other girls blushed.
"He's very kind," Harumi said.
I let go of Rin. She blushed, and when I was hugging her, I felt her heart beating fast. Rin placed her hand on her chest.
Charolina asked Rin, "Is your heart beating fast, haha?"
Then Rin shouted, "It's not! He hugged me very tightly, so because of the pressure, my chest's lipid bundles are recoiling the blood. It's sensitive!"
"Oh! Sorry..." I apologized.
"Huh! What did you say earlier?" Rin said that and went to the bathroom with the other girls who hadn't bathed.
After they finished their bath, Kagatari and some maids gave them breakfast: jam, bread, and cornflakes.
We removed the curtains and saw that the sky was gloomy; that day was cold, too.
After they finished their breakfast, we all got out of the castle. The village looked like a mineshaft. Looking at us, some girls ran toward us. One of them, wearing blue jean shorts and a green top with short red hair, said, "Harumi-mama! Who are they?"
Harumi told them the whole story, and we introduced ourselves. Hearing the story, one girl wearing a red skirt with a white stripe and a black T-shirt with a black ponytail said:
"Ahiro-san! You're the lonely boy in this village! How are you feeling?"
I was about to answer when the girl held a microphone toward me. I asked, "Uh? A mic?"
Another girl, who had braided brown hair, black-framed glasses, and was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, said, "Because she is a reporter. She reached here while reporting on an accident that happened in Tokyo."
"Ah... okay... I'm feeling... overwhelming happiness!!" I said loudly.
"Wow! So... you're a 'girl fan' guy," the reporter girl said.
Rin said, "Actually, he is a Harem fan!"
"Ooooh!"
"Okay, introduce yourselves, girls," Harumi said.
They nodded and started to introduce themselves.
The one with the black ponytail (the reporter) was Hanma Tomiora.
The one with short red hair was Suzune Kyoko.
The one with braided brown hair was Hojo Fumi.
They were all 20 years old.
"So how did you two, Suzune and Fumi, come here?" Charolina asked.
Fumi said, "I'm an engineer in Kyoto. I was eating my dinner and suddenly got teleported here."
Then Suzune said, "I'm a painter. I was painting a picture at night and then... you know."
"Oh! Fumi is an engineer? Then... can you make a speaker so that we can broadcast news to this whole village?" Ame said.
Then the girls noticed Ame and suddenly burst out with excitement and joy.
Hanma exclaimed, "Oh my! You're the popular popstar of Japan, Ame Hoshizora!! Please, give us your autograph!"
Suzune and Fumi also requested the same.
"Guh! You're Ame Hoshizora!? My dad loves your songs!" Harumi also shouted.
We were surprised to hear that even the president of Japan liked Ame's songs!
"Wow! I didn't know that my songs were that popular!" Ame said with surprise.
Fumi asked, "Can you give us your autograph?"
Ame said, "But how?"
Hanma gave her a pen taken out from her skirt. "But where?" Ame asked.
Instantly, Hanma, Suzune, and Fumi synchronized as they pulled their T-shirts and shirts up; their breasts bounced.
We all got nosebleeds. Ame screamed, "What are you doing?!"
Suzune said, "Give us your autograph on our bras!"
I shouted with surprise, "On the bra!?"
"Okay..." Ame started to give them her autograph. While she moved the pen's nib over their bras, they made awkward expressions and blushed because of the sensation.
We all watched with our mouths wide open.
After they were done, Fumi decided to make a speaker, but before she and some other girls (the chemist gang and Fumi's friends) could start, a bright light appeared in the air toward us—just like when the Reality God appeared.
And after the light faded, we found that it was the Reality God.
She said, "Nice to meet you again..."
We were all surprised. Miss Yurin asked, "Has something happened? Do you have any good news for us?"
She said, "It's not good news... or bad news for us; it's good news for you."
"Wow! So what is it?" Harumi said.
"You all are going to re-enter each other's reality, but before that process happens, only some of you could survive. In the meantime, while reality is being managed, many 'Rouge' black holes are going to appear in that forbidden space. This planet, the sun, and the moon are transmitting to Ahiro's Earth's sky, but the black holes are going to devour this planet. They are not like normal black holes; we call them 'Pirasyeter,' which devour the things that try to live in these forbidden spaces. It's like 'Do or... Be devoured by black holes.' We're going to do our work as soon as possible, but some of you have to die. Sorry, we couldn't help you..."
