A girl shopping was a beautiful sight.
And when a girl with long black hair and a girl with long snow white hair appeared together in the plaza in front of Tengu City Station, then for n, this place might have instantly turned into a 5A tourist attraction, making them unable to stop themselves from standing still and staring.
However, if one stopped and carefully listened to the conversation between the two girls, they might discover that—things were not as beautiful as they imagined.
"Did you bring the goods?"
The girl with long snow white hair, who looked almost like a doll, said without expression.
"Ahaha, I brought them."
The girl with black hair, who gave off the air of a Yamato Nadeshiko, replied with a wry smile.
"This place is too dangerous. Let's change locations."
The white haired girl nodded.
"No, no, no. I don't think Shiori's photos are anything dangerous."
The black haired girl retorted helplessly.
"Because their value is too high. If they leak out, they may cause a financial crisis."
The white haired girl said with a serious face.
"They won't! Though I can't deny their value is very high."
The black haired girl said, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
That was right. Today was the day Mikoto would hand over the Shiori photos she had collected to Origami, just as they had agreed.
Although it hurt a little, that was the price of getting a head start. Besides, as long as she made backups, thinking carefully, it was not really a big deal.
If I have to say it, even if I don't give them to her, Origami will just find a chance to secretly make copies anyway.
Mikoto looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl before her and thought helplessly.
Just two months ago, she had still been like a modest, well raised girl. But suddenly, her whole style had changed, and she had beco an expressionless assault type pervert. More or less, that made Mikoto feel unused to it.
"There is a cafe in the shopping street. There are no unnecessary eyes or ears there. Let's make the exchange there."
"Yes, yes."
Hearing Origami's words, Mikoto sighed. It was only sending photos, but if soone who did not know them heard this, they would probably think it was so kind of illegal deal.
In the end, she followed Origami to that small cafe. The shop was very plain, and there were not many people inside. It really did have an atmosphere suitable for underground deals.
"May I take your order?"
After the two sat down, a waiter ca over and asked.
"I'll have a macchiato, please."
Mikoto thought for a mont and said.
"Aricano."
Origami also ordered the drink she wanted.
A short while later, the waiter placed their drinks on the table.
"Origami, do you like black coffee?"
Mikoto looked at Origami's coffee. Aricano was made by adding water to espresso. How should she put it? It was the kind of drink people had mixed opinions about. So people liked it very much, while others hated it.
"The caffeine content is just right. It helps adjust my ntal state."
Origami nodded.
"Haa…"
And so, Mikoto sighed again. In her mory, the old Origami had liked rich, milky coffee just like herself. But now, her personality had beco one that only considered caffeine content.
"Um… as expected, Mikoto thinks there is sothing wrong with this too?"
Suddenly, a weak voice ca over.
"Eh?"
Mikoto raised her head and saw Origami looking at her with a shy expression.
"Origami, you… changed back?"
Mikoto asked in confusion. This was the Origami she knew, the Origami who lived in the changed worldline.
"No… rather than saying I changed back, it would be better to say that I am . It's just… whenever I see Itsuka-kun, I beco very strange…"
For the current Origami, it was actually a state where the Origami of this world and the Origami of the original world had rged their consciousness together.
Logically speaking, the Origami of this world should have taken the main position. However, for so reason, in reality, the original world's Origami showed herself more strongly. Especially when facing Shido, the original Origami would suppress the current Origami without any doubt.
"Um… it's already more than just strange…"
Mikoto retorted with cold sweat. Rather than saying strange, it was more fitting to say she was going out of control. She was like a train fueled by love, with broken brakes, rushing forward with enough force to smash a hole through a wall and keep going.
"Uuu… so it really is like that? Even Mikoto thinks so too, right?"
For so reason, Origami, who had switched to a timid personality, said softly.
"In short, I think that if possible, Origami's current personality is better."
Mikoto thought for a mont and said. Honestly speaking, this gentle and shy Origami was actually much more effective against a herbivore boy like Shido than that love train.
Unfortunately, Origami herself had not noticed this.
"But I can't help it. Once I et Itsuka-kun, I beco strange without realizing it. For example…"
Origami picked up her phone. On it were the Shiori photos Mikoto had just sent her.
After staring at those photos for a while, Origami's eyes beca calm but heated. That was right, just like Origami from before the world changed.
Then she raised her head and calmly said:
"The variety of photos is beyond my imagination. As expected of Mikoto. However, compared to shrine maiden clothes and maid outfits, I believe photos with dog ears plus a tail, and a school swimsuit, would have even higher value. After all, that is Shido's favorite combination. If placed on Shiori…"
"Stop! Although I also like taking photos of Shiori, this really is wrong sohow!"
Looking at Origami, who seed like a Shiori expert, Mikoto loudly stopped her.
"Regretful. I thought Mikoto would understand."
"I can't understand that!"
Mikoto almost cried at Origami's reaction.
"I-in short, I beco like this."
At that mont, Origami returned to her earlier state.
"So please, Mikoto! Please help ! At least, when 'I' beco strange, stop !"
Origami said loudly.
"Even if you say that, what exactly should I do?"
Mikoto asked.
"For example, stop when I sneak into Itsuka-kun's futon while he is sleeping. Stop when I steal his shirt while he is in P.E. class. Stop when I add strange dicine to Itsuka-kun's food while he is eating…"
"I understand! I'll stop you! I definitely will!"
Before Origami could finish, Mikoto said seriously. Although she had already prepared herself for Origami's personality back during the Izu trip, what Origami said still went beyond her imagination. Sohow, she felt that if she did not stop Origami, sothing terrible would happen sooner or later.
"I see. That's good."
Hearing Mikoto's words, Origami placed a hand on her chest and smiled in relief.
Then she continued:
"Actually, 'I' asked Itsuka-kun out on a date today."
