Chapter 30: Triple Date Trap

As if welcoming the upcoming date, the originally gloomy sky gradually cleared, and the sun warmed the earth right on cue.

The air still carried the fresh scent of rain-soaked soil, a pleasant and refreshing smell.

But today, Shido Itsuka’s mood was not very good.

Although being able to date beautiful girls on the job was nice, dating three beautiful girls at the same time…

He supposed he could be considered a master of time management in another sense. Honestly, even he found his behavior hard to forgive.

‘Teleport to the ticket gate of Tenkū Station immediately.’

“So urgent?”

Before Shido could even catch his breath, he felt his whole body tremble, and he had arrived at the designated location.

The star of today’s date, Kurumi Tokisaki, was quietly waiting there in a long black dress.

No matter what, Kurumi Tokisaki was the main target for today, but…

“S-Sorry to keep you waiting!”

After barely calming his breath and greeting her, Shido noticed the girl standing beside Kurumi like a statue.

The beautiful girl was looking at him as if he were a rare piece of trash. Even from several meters away, he could feel her oppressive aura, so thick it was hard to breathe.

No, it wasn’t just an illusion. It was some kind of spiritual power… trait?

“Chihaya Sayo? Why… why are you here?”

Wait, this was completely unexpected.

If Chihaya Sayo was here, that meant he might face not just a triple date, but a terrifying quadruple date. But he hadn’t prepared for that.

“That’s very rude, you know. Did Kotori Itsuka teach you that?”

Chihaya Sayo looked at Shido, who was still catching his breath, with some displeasure. Her lips twitched.

“Chihaya Sayo’s affection level decreased by three percentage points.”

“Wait, you’re the one setting your own affection levels? That’s too strange!”

“Zero points!”

Seeing Shido’s embarrassment, Chihaya Sayo felt a little better. She spoke with a pointed hint.

“I just have some history with Kurumi Tokisaki. I’m only tagging along for a few free meals. Besides, Shido… Kurumi Tokisaki is the star of today’s date. You don’t have much time, and if you keep chatting with me, the heroine of today’s date won’t be happy.”

Whether intentional or not, Chihaya Sayo stressed the words ‘history’ and ‘you don’t have much time,’ as if she knew he was dating three girls at the same time.

Under Chihaya Sayo’s gaze, which seemed to see right through him, Shido felt guilty. He instinctively turned his head, trying not to look at her stunning, manga-like face.

“Shido, Chihaya… Jormungand is right. Today’s heroine is Kurumi Tokisaki. No matter what, we should focus on her feelings.”

Kotori Itsuka bit down slightly, her pearly teeth almost crushing the hard Chupa Chups candy.

She knew Chihaya Sayo was harmless by nature, but whenever she thought of the people who died at her hands… Kotori still couldn’t see her as a normal Spirit.

In the end, she still couldn’t bring herself to say the name Chihaya Sayo.

But…

Fortunately, for some reason, Kurumi Tokisaki’s initial affection for her idiot brother was absurdly high. Even after being ignored earlier, she didn’t seem to care.

At this rate, they should be able to successfully seal Kurumi Tokisaki within the day.

“Where should we go next?”

Kurumi Tokisaki smiled softly, her gestures reserved and elegant, like a proper lady.

But her words carried a unique charm, like a sweet viper slowly coiling around a beating heart. It made people want to uncover the mystery.

“Now for the main event. Everyone, start choosing!”

Upon receiving the command, three automatically generated best options appeared on the huge screen.

1: Leisurely shopping at the mall.

2: Go see a sweet romantic movie together.

3: Go to a lingerie shop and admire her trying on clothes.

Wait, option 3 is a bit too bold, isn’t it?

And Kurumi Tokisaki wasn’t like Tohka Yatogami, who was socially naive.

Saying such risqué words to an elegant, dignified woman would surely…

“We should choose 2! Imagine, in a dim room, your hands accidentally overlapping, phew…”

A romantic movie? Wait, it seems…

As if recalling some odd story about Oppenheimer, everyone in Fraxinus fell silent for a while, then chose option 1 together.

No matter what, option 1 seemed the most reliable.

After all, girls love shopping. What girl doesn’t like shopping?

Rather than such aggressive actions, a steady approach to raise affection was better. Besides, Kurumi Tokisaki’s affection for Shido wasn’t low, so there was no need to rush.

But…

Kotori Itsuka frowned in thought.

The shopping mall was in Tenkū Qwinted. Although the chance of running into Tohka was low, it wasn’t completely impossible.

If the two happened to meet…

Whether Kurumi Tokisaki’s affection dropped to zero or Tohka’s spiritual power went out of control from emotional distress, it would definitely be a Bad End.

So the safest option was actually the one that looked the most unreliable?

And remembering that a few days ago, Kurumi had readily agreed to Shido’s request to see her underwear, so…

In just a moment, Kotori Itsuka decided Shido’s fate.

“A l-lingerie store?”

“Too loud, you pervert!”

Shido belatedly realized and looked at the bewildered, rather innocent Kurumi Tokisaki, and at Chihaya Sayo, whose face had darkened completely.

Taking a girl he’d just met a few days ago to a lingerie store… that was too ridiculous, wasn’t it? Not to mention another girl he’d recently dated was right there. Such behavior…

“Well, you’re just an unsatisfied stud, aren’t you? If I remember correctly, your first date with Tohka almost crossed the forbidden line into adulthood, right?”

Mercilessly mocking Shido, the ‘pure herbivorous high school pretty boy,’ Kotori felt a little happier.

Her cute little feet swung lightly to a unique rhythm, inadvertently revealing her last layer of blue-and-white protection as a girl.

He had waited so long! He had gone through hell to get this spot, just to admire the Commander’s last line of defense in a situation like this.

Unfortunately, the Commander, in high spirits, clearly didn’t notice his gaze at that moment. Otherwise, if he could have the angry and embarrassed Commander trample his face with those incredibly soft and delicate little feet, it would be a heavenly feeling! So said a certain anonymous blond pervert.

Chihaya Sayo’s lips twitched. She knew Shido was probably following Fraxinus’s orders, but such orders were still a bit… outrageous.

She suddenly felt relieved that her own date with Shido hadn’t offered any strange options. Otherwise, she might have crushed his throat.

Just as Chihaya Sayo cast a pitying look at the heroine of the date, the cute heroine didn’t seem bothered. She seemed to be seriously considering Shido’s proposal, then slowly spoke.

“If Shido can pick for me, I’ll go.”

You’re outrageous too!

In just a few minutes, Chihaya Sayo felt her worldview had been greatly shaken.

She thought Fraxinus was unmatched in perversion, but there was still a master.

Whose subordinate is this, so bold?

“She actually… agreed? So bold!”

Although it was somewhat expected, hearing her say it so easily was still shocking.

“Then, shall we go?”

Shido hadn’t expected this at all. His brain had crashed.

Never in real life or in galgames had he met such a proactive and bold target. It was like playing an unhealthy galgame, making him imagine scenes that could never be broadcast.

“Please pick a cute one for me~”

The cute girl’s voice was unchanged, still sweet and coquettish like a girlfriend in the honeymoon phase. Then she naturally clung to Shido’s left arm, pressing close to him.

‘They’re… going to press…’

After all, the weather was getting hotter, and everyone was trying to dress cool, and she was no exception.

Although she wore an extremely conservative Gothic black dress, through the soft fabric, he could clearly feel the alluring, soft, perfect sensation.

Though he couldn’t see them directly, from the feeling on his arm, he could roughly estimate the size of those two peaks. They seemed about the same as Tohka’s…

Maybe a bit bigger?

But even more admirable was the round, firm feel. It had a maturity unfitting for her age, yet it stood tall and firm, almost defying physics. The touch was like a dream.

Wait, seriously evaluating someone’s peaks like that definitely made him a pervert.

Chihaya Sayo followed the two in front with some helplessness.

Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt the sunlight falling on her suddenly decrease a bit.

Maybe… it wasn’t an illusion?

Perhaps to outsiders, she looked like a black-haired loser cat, completely out of the running.
