Chapter 4

4: The scenery with the elves, and the next goal

　　According to the original plan, Shidao was going to follow Kotori's design and directly complete the attack on Tohka and at least conceal it until Kotori attacked him, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by Kotori when he was lingering with Tohka. Fortunately, Tohka unexpectedly found the memory of the future after the passion, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. The next morning, Kotori still locked herself in the room and didn't intend to pay attention to Shidao. After discussing with Tohka, the two decided to let Shidao go to school first and let Tohka negotiate with Kotori slowly. In any case, this matter must not attract Reine's attention.

　　"Hey, Gokawa, it's early today." Just like before the encounter with the elves, Shidao always ran into Tonomachi on the way to school. It's no wonder that his and Tonomachi's CP popularity was unexpectedly high on a certain list that he didn't want to mention.

　　"Oh... Good morning." Shidao yawned as he said that. Sure enough, he consumed too much energy last night.

　　"I say, what's wrong with you, you look so listless?"

　　"It's because of Tohka..."

　　"Tohka... Tohka? Could it be that you..." Tenmachi's face changed drastically, "Could it be that in just one night, you gave me..."

　　"Don't think about it, yesterday... that... By the way, wasn't Tohka unfamiliar with the homework content? She was listless because she was tutored too late yesterday." Shidao made up an excuse. To be honest, this time, Tonomachi guessed correctly, which was rare, but it would be troublesome if it was widely publicized...

　　"Good morning, Tonomachi-san, Shidou." As soon as they walked to the door, they ran into Reine, "Is everything normal?"

　　"Don't worry, everything is fine." Hearing Reine's hidden meaning, Shidou nodded slightly, "But... my sister seems to be unhappy because of this, so let's give her some time to calm down."

　　"This is normal, don't worry, it will be fine after a while." Reine didn't notice anything unusual. After all, she also knew something about Kotori, and even knew Kotori's true feelings for Shidou earlier than Shidou did. It seems that she simply understood Shidou's words as jealousy.

　　"Huh, it seems that I have concealed it." Shidou breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the spirit crystal that represents near omniscience is not in Mio's hands at present, he cannot guarantee whether the opponent has similar backup capabilities. Instead of betting that the enemy's ability cannot detect the truth, it is better to let the other party not think that there is any need to investigate.

　　Confirming that his plan was temporarily successful, Shidou also relaxed a little. Now he seems to be living a leisurely life, but in fact he dare not relax for a minute. With Mio's strength, if he takes a wrong step, he will lose everything. Taking down Tohka is just the beginning. The following things and new situations need to be considered slowly. But at this moment, another figure attracted his attention.

　　"Origami, how did you get into this state?" The figure was Origami who came to the seat quietly. At this moment, she was obviously seriously injured. From the bandages exposed on her cuffs and collar and the bruises on her cheeks, it is not difficult to see that she is still relying on her will to hold on. Sure enough, when Shidou anxiously stepped forward to support her, he clearly felt that Origami's body was shaking because of weakness and pain. After calculating the time, Reine should be in a meeting with the teachers of the school and has no time to monitor, so Shidou helped Origami sit down in the seat regardless of the surprised eyes of his classmates.

　　"Last night, a spirit appeared in Area A." Origami leaned over and whispered softly in Shidou's ear.

　　Sighing silently in his heart, Shidou once again marveled at the powerful correction power. Even though Origami avoided a direct conflict with Tohka yesterday, she still couldn't avoid getting hurt this time. Unfortunately, Shidou couldn't hold Origami in his arms and comfort her at this moment. He knew too well what Origami would face in the future. The more gentle he was now, the more cruel the future would be. In order to truly hug Origami on that day, he had to suppress his impulse.

　　"Sorry for the wait, Shidou!" Just at this moment, Tohka also stepped into the classroom before the bell rang, "Origami? What's wrong with you?"

　　"...I don't remember that our relationship was good enough to call each other by name." Origami looked at Tohka coldly and turned her head to look at the blackboard.

　　"Don't mind it, Origami still hates elves, so she said that." While the teacher was not paying attention, Shidou secretly wrote a note and gave it to Tohka. "

　　It doesn't matter, after all, Origami has experienced those things." Tohka quickly replied. If it were the past, she would probably quarrel with Origami directly, but after regaining her memory, she could no longer speak ill of the strong and weak warrior.

　　"By the way, how is Kotori?"

　　"Don't worry, Kotori is fine, but she said she plans to take a day off from school and Ratatosk today." Tohka sent back another note.

　　And what is Kotori doing at this moment?

　　After forcing herself to recover from Tohka's illness, Kotori once again crawled back into the quilt. When she opened her eyes again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Her stomach had protested many times without breakfast, but Kotori still had no mood to get up.

　　Just a few hours ago, Gokawa Kotori witnessed that scene with her own eyes. Her beloved brother was lying naked on Tohka, who was also naked, and even Kotori could see what they were doing. What's even more cruel is that it was Kotori herself who pushed Shido to Tohka's side. If she hadn't made up her mind to let Shido participate in this plan, if she hadn't done such a prank out of anger, things would at least not have developed to this point where the rice was cooked.

　　In fact, Kotori knew that she had no right to scold Shidou. After all, no one said how far she had to cultivate feelings with the elves, and Shidou was not her property in the first place, so she had the right to choose her own partner. But the person she had loved since childhood left in front of her eyes, and Kotori had to do everything she could to help Shidou maintain his relationship with Tohka. How could she ease this pain and pain?

　　"Shidou, bastard..." Kotori's tears fell again, dripping onto the already soaked pillowcase. "Shidou, it's time for lunch, eh?" As soon as the bell rang for the end of the last class in the morning, Tohka came to Shidou.

　　"Well, but let's find a quiet place." Shidou glanced at Origami worriedly, and it was better not to easily provoke her at this time. So Shidou and Tohka left the classroom separately, and reunited in the cafeteria after making sure that Origami didn't catch up.

　　"Then Tohka, find a seat and sit down first, I'll go buy lunch first..." After a few words to Tohka, Shidou didn't think much about it and went straight to the store that Tohka usually liked. After buying the food, Tohka disappeared from sight. Shidou spent a long time to see Tohka in the corner of the cafeteria.

　　"It's rare that Tohka would choose that seat?" Shidou walked to Tohka and sat down. In his impression, Tohka liked the hustle and bustle. It was more likely that Nanashi would choose this kind of seat in the corner.

　　"Thank you for your hard work, Shidou." Tohka took the plate and greeted her, but for some reason she seemed a little absent-minded. At first, Shidou didn't think much about it. He just thought that Tohka was a little depressed because she consumed too much last night, until Tohka couldn't help but pull Shidou's sleeve.

　　"Well, I know it may be a little strange to say this..." Tohka blushed and leaned close to Shidou's ear and whispered, "Actually, I wanted to listen to the class well this morning, but I kept thinking about what happened last night. Although it's not to the point where I can't bear it, I still want Shidou to touch me..."

　　"That's why I chose a corner seat..." Shidou felt very awkward. It was lunch time, and the cafeteria was very popular. The seat chosen by Tohka was indeed quite remote, but it was not a place where she could do that kind of thing in public...

　　"Well, let's try it this way." While observing the surroundings and worrying about being noticed, Shidou quietly reached under Tohka's skirt.

　　"Um! Shidou, over there..."

　　"Shh! It will be troublesome if someone notices..." Shidou hurriedly warned Tohka, "Don't make too much noise."

　　"I know, I know... um..." Tohka pursed her lips tightly, and for a moment she didn't even care about eating the bread in her hand, and silently enjoyed the touch from her lower body.

　　After comforting Tohka, Shidou continued his actions. Gently pulling aside Tohka's panties, Shidou massaged her delicate lips bit by bit. When the front of his fingers gradually felt wet, Shidou knew that Tohka's body was fully prepared, and he pushed aside the petals with two fingers and continued to move towards her body. Although she had experienced a lot last night, Tohka's inside was still unusually tight. The shame of being discovered also made Tohka clamp her legs together and rub them gently, allowing Shidou's palm to come into close contact with the tender skin between Tohka's buttocks.

　　"Shidou, be gentle, I can't help it..." Tohka asked in a low voice.

　　"Hey, isn't this Goka? And Tohka-chan." Tonomachi's voice sounded out, "I didn't expect to see you in the cafeteria. There are seats available, so why did you choose such a remote place to eat?"

　　"It's quiet, but why did you come to the cafeteria to eat today?" Shidou secretly cried out that it was not good, and he had to deal with him first, "Don't you usually eat in the classroom?"

　　"You said that, usually we are together, but as soon as Tohka-chan came, you fell in love with someone else." Tonomachi was still the same, "Hey, Tohka-chan, are you not feeling well? Why don't you eat?"

　　"No, I'm fine, I...ah!" Tohka said and suddenly let out a small moan. Shidou has seen this kind of plot many times in the book, and now he is also playing a trick. The fingers that have touched Tohka's sensitive points exerted a little force, and Tohka couldn't help but scream.

　　"Tohka, are you okay?" Shidou also asked in a pretentious manner.

　　"No, it's nothing. I just didn't have a good appetite this afternoon." Tohka glared at Shidou, and at the same time, she reached out and touched Shidou's restless little brother calmly.

　　"I say, Gokawa, why do you look a little strange?" Tenmachi stared at Shidou who suddenly changed his expression suspiciously, "Are you feeling unwell too?"

　　"It doesn't matter. I'm fine, ha, ha." Shidou tried to endure the stimulation from his lower body and pretended to be fine. Tohka did the same. Although her slender fingers still seemed a little unfamiliar, they were enough to disturb Shidou's mind.

　　"I don't understand you. If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself." Tenmachi shook his head and got up to get food. Only then did Shidou and Tohka have the opportunity to take their hands back.

　　"Shidou, when did you become so bad..."

　　"Sorry, it's my fault." Shidou knew he was wrong, but he quickly returned to normal, "By the way, we should be more careful during this period. It can be seen that Kotori has been hit hard. If we commit crimes against the wind at this time, I'm worried that her emotions will run wild early."

　　"Yeah, I understand." Tohka agreed with some disappointment. She was still a little nostalgic for the feeling of passion and tenderness when she tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time. It was really a pity that she couldn't be intimate at the moment of strong desire, but who asked Kotori and Mio to watch?

　　At this moment, the loudspeaker in the cafeteria suddenly issued a sharp alarm, followed by a broadcast that the space earthquake was about to come and asked everyone to go to shelter. The originally lively cafeteria immediately became a mess, and Shidou and Tohka looked at each other.

　　"Shidou, who could it be this time?" Tohka seemed very confused, "Could it be Yoshino? But I remember there's still some time before she shows up?"

　　"I don't know either, could it be that she shows up earlier?" Shidou couldn't figure it out, "Anyway, it's my mission next, you should go to the shelter with everyone."

　　"I see, then you must bring Yoshino back safely, I believe you." Tohka stood on tiptoes and kissed Shidou on the face, then turned around and ran to the shelter with the students. In the eyes of others, this behavior was really too crazy, but who made them both know the truth about the spacequake and who they were about to face, so there was really no need for them to pretend to panic.

　　"Okay, then we'll set off." After finding a place where no one was around, Shidou took out his headset and connected to the signal of the airship, "This is Gokawa Shidou, ready to go."

　　"...You're quite active." Kotori's listless voice came from the headset, "You've been so 'happy' with Tohka, so you've been looking forward to the next target?"

　　"How is that possible, Kotori, are you okay?" Shidou quickly changed the subject, as it would be troublesome if he aroused Reine's interest.

　　"It's not a big deal, I won't delay my work for this." Kotori was still not very happy, but she didn't want to talk about this topic any more, "Then, the new battle (date) will begin."

　　Ratatoskr has always been efficient, and Shidou was sent to the location where the spacequake occurred in just a blink of an eye. The cold air blowing in his face and the rainy sky all indicated that the next elf to appear would be that person. Sure enough, it didn't take Shidou long to see the petite figure wearing a green bunny ear hat. To be honest, Shidao still felt a little bit reluctant to attack Yoshino. For some reason, he always felt a sense of guilt, as if he could not see any other way except to trick the innocent little loli into bed... After taking a deep breath, Shidao decided to go forward and say hello. If Yoshino can recover her memory after doing it, she should not care, right?

　　"Um... Hello, why are you alone here? There was a space earthquake nearby just now, it's very dangerous." Shidao pretended to be worried and approached her.

　　"..." A trace of fear flashed in Yoshino's eyes, and she quickly took two steps back. Seeing this, Shidao quickly raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions: "Don't get me wrong, my name is Gokawa Shidao. I just passed by here and was worried about you. I won't hurt you."

　　"Ahaha, this is the opening speech of kidnappers and bad guys? This guy, what do you want to do to Yoshino?" Another familiar voice came from Yoshino's hand. It was naturally Yoshino's best friend and her spiritual sustenance Yoshina. Shido is easy to deal with, but this guy...

　　"Oh, oh, nice to meet you, Shido. Are you two companions?" Fortunately, Shido has not forgotten the mistake he made when he first met Shido. Shido is very bothered by people saying that her best companion is a doll or something. In other words, if he treats this guy as a "person" from the beginning, maybe Shido will let down some of her guard?

　　"Haha, Shido, this is the first time I've met someone who understands me so well. Have we met before?" Shido was satisfied but also a little surprised. Although she hadn't heard Shido talk about the things before they met, she must not be the only human they met after they became elves. Maybe there are also people who tried to strike up a conversation but accidentally stepped on a landmine like she did at the beginning. But I have to say that this guy's guess is really accurate. Seeing Shido's attitude, Shido's head also raised a little.

　　"Well, Yoshino and Yoshina, it's too dangerous for the two of you to stay here. You'd better seek shelter as soon as possible." Shidou advised.

　　"Well, even if you say so, I can't rest assured." I answered first, "After all, there are not many kind-hearted people in this world. Who knows if you really want to help me or if you plan to take this cute girl home to do something weird?" I pursed my lips and seemed to think that I was a little too radical, but my strong vigilance and shyness made me choose to remain silent.

　　"How is that possible? But I can't leave you alone." Shidou lied with a stiff upper lip. I hope that I can really restore my memory after I succeed. Otherwise, how can I face everyone in the future?

　　"Hmm? Brother Gokawa, your sophistication is not like that of an ordinary high school student. At least you are a veteran in the love field, right?" I just happened to be sharp-eyed at this time, and every word I said hit Shidou's sore spot.

　　"Well, I'm lying if I say I have no experience in love, but I'm not lying if I want to help you." Shidou felt very embarrassed. He recalled that when he first met Yoshino, although Tohka got involved because of jealousy, it now seems that Tohka's trouble helped Shidou avoid the trouble of being questioned by Yoshino. If only someone could help him...

　　"Shidou, danger!" An urgent voice suddenly came from the sky above, and then a light curtain blocked Shidou and Yoshino.

　　"Origami?! Why are you here?"

　　"I heard that there are spirits appearing here, so I applied to fight, but I didn't expect Shidou to be here too." At this moment, Origami's face was pale, and the gauze wrapped around her thighs and arms had not been removed, and her body was trembling slightly. Then she pounced on Yoshino, and Shidou was forcibly carried away by two AST members.

　　"Damn it, the power of history to correct has to work at this time!" Shidou cursed bitterly, so how will this situation end?
