Winry glared at the other girls, her voice unwavering. "You have to understand that you can't just expect him to visit everyone's booth. It's just not possible. And besides, he's our boyfriend. We should have priority."

Aurora and Luna continued to stand protectively in front of Orion, hoping that hiding him from the other girls' sight would change the situation. Luna muttered under her breath, "This is ridiculous. We shouldn't even be arguing about this. Orion has a right to enjoy the festival however he wants."

Aurora mumbled in agreement, "Yeah, and we're just trying to make sure he has a good time without feeling overwhelmed. These girls need to back off and let him be."

Orion, watching the scene unfold, couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He knew that his sisters were only trying to protect him, but he also understood the other girls' desire to share their hard work with him. His thoughts raced as he tried to come up with a solution. "Maybe there's a way I can visit all the booths without causing any problems," he thought, "I just need to figure out a way to make it work."

As the girls continued to argue, they began listing their various activities for the festival, hoping to convince Orion to attend them. Yachiru, Orihime, and Levy described their "Twilight World Trivia," while Vivi, Mikasa, and Ririchiyo spoke passionately about their "Twilight Fashion Show." Saeko, Yuuki and Mizore mentioned their "Twilight-Inspired Escape Room," and Alice, Morgiana, and Lucy Heartfilia discussed their captivating "Twilight Dance Performance." Akeno and Nezuko spoke softly about their "Twilight Art Gallery," showcasing their unique artistic talents.

Listening to the girls' descriptions, Orion couldn't deny that he was intrigued by their activities. He knew that they had all worked hard on their projects and wanted to experience everything the festival had to offer. But the tension between his girlfriends and the other girls was growing more intense by the minute, and he was starting to feel suffocated.

Aurora, sensing her brother's discomfort, whispered to Luna, "We need to find a way to end this argument. It's getting out of hand."

Luna nodded, her eyes scanning the scene before her. "You're right. We need to come up with a compromise that will make everyone happy. But what could that be?"

As the girls continued their verbal battle, Orion finally spoke up, his voice barely audible over the noise. "Everyone, please, stop. I appreciate all the hard work you've put into your projects, and I want to experience them all. But I can't do that if we keep fighting like this."

The girls fell silent, surprised by Orion's sudden intervention. He continued, his voice steady and strong. "We need to find a way to compromise so that I can visit each booth."

Orion's words seemed to have an effect on the girls, as the arguing slowly died down. He took a deep breath and continued, his voice soft but firm. "Listen, I know you all want me to come to your booths, and I want to see what you've prepared as well. But fighting about it won't solve anything. Instead, let's find a solution that will make everyone happy."

His eyes scanned the group of girls, and he continued with a warm smile, "Why don't we come up with a schedule so I can visit each booth without feeling overwhelmed? And to make things more special, I can take one of my girlfriends with me to each booth, turning it into a one-on-one date. That way, no one feels left out."

Aurora and Luna bristled at the suggestion, their protective instincts flaring up. They were about to voice their objections when Orion turned to them, his smile still in place. "And as for my lovely sisters, I promise that I'll take you both to two booths each. That way, you won't feel neglected either. I'll make sure to spend time with everyone, so no one feels left out."

His sisters exchanged a glance, their initial irritation fading as they saw the sincerity in their brother's eyes. They knew he was trying to find a solution that would make everyone happy, and they couldn't help but feel proud of his determination.

Aurora sighed, her shoulders relaxing. "Alright, Orion. We trust you. Just don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

Luna nodded, her eyes softening. "We just want you to enjoy the festival without feeling overwhelmed."

Orion's smile widened, and he nodded. "I promise. I'll make sure to balance my time so everyone is satisfied."

The girls in his class exchanged glances, the tension in the air slowly dissipating. As they considered his words, they began to see the wisdom in his suggestion. It would allow them all to spend time with him without causing further conflict, and the one-on-one dates would make their time together more special.

Yachiru, her eyes bright, grinned. "Sounds like a plan! We'll come up with a schedule so everyone gets their fair share of time."

Orihime clapped her hands, her expression hopeful. "I think this will be a great way to spend the festival, and it'll give us all a chance to bond with Orion."

Levy nodded, her eyes thoughtful. "It's a good compromise. We can all work together to make this festival memorable for everyone."

One by one, the girls agreed, their voices a mixture of excitement and relief. They began discussing the schedule, each of them eager to share their booth with Orion and one of his girlfriends.

As they talked, Orion couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He had managed to defuse the situation and find a solution that satisfied everyone, while also ensuring that he wouldn't be overwhelmed during the festival. He knew it wouldn't be easy to balance his time between his girlfriends, his sisters, and the other girls, but he was determined to make it work.

His thoughts were filled with anticipation and excitement as he envisioned the incredible activities he would experience with the girls in his class. He imagined Hinata's Byakugan and Gentle Fist techniques, Winry's automail engineering skills, and Tatsumaki's psychic powers in the "Twilight Talent Showcase." He looked forward to testing his knowledge in Yachiru, Orihime, and Levy's "Twilight World Trivia" and witnessing the beautiful designs in Vivi, Mikasa, and Ririchiyo's "Twilight Fashion Show."
