Izayoi Miku's ho was less than a five-minute walk from Rindouji All Girls's school
With white walls and a pale blue roof, the Western-style building and the garden, which blood with colorful flowers after being carefully tended, even gave the impression of leading to another world.
It was not hard to imagine what kind of reaction a girl would have the first ti she ca here. In fact, even Shido himself, though he knew it was sowhat affected, still tugged Yutsuki with him and expressed his thanks to Miku for inviting them.
…As a result, Miku smiled gently, and from the earphones ca a faint "...pfft" sound of laughter.
"..."
Shido and Yutsuki were led out of the reception room of this house, which looked like sothing that could only exist in a picture book.
"For so reason… it's going too smoothly, and that makes feel scared…"
Shido said with so unease.
"Isn't this great? It's been resolved so quickly. The numbers are also steadily rising. Shiori-chan's sudden visit produced unexpectedly good results. Very nice."
"I don't think this is that simple…"
Yutsuki stared at Izayoi Miku, who was humming a tune while preparing tea snacks and seed to be in a very good mood, and showed a strange expression.
"At the ti, when I knew in advance that Shido was male and had him change into won's clothes, that was one thing. But Miku isn't supposed to hate n? Even if the sealing in Shiori mode succeeds, what happens once Shido returns to normal?"
Indeed, Yutsuki's thought was very reasonable. Even after a Spirit had been sealed, if their ntal state beca extre, there would still be danger of spiritual power backlash. If Miku learned the true identity of Shiori-chan… just imagining it was chilling.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the earpiece, Kotori finally said:
"Shido! You can keep that school uniform and makeup kit from now!"
"Seconded!"
"Hey!"
"Is there a problem?"
At the mont Shido shouted out, Miku's voice ca from behind them.
Shido then hastily put on an ambiguous smile and brushed it off.
"Um, just now there was a cat outside the window…"
Seeing Shido's excuse break down halfway through, Yutsuki could only let out a soft sigh and add:
"That cat was chasing butterflies in the garden just now. It looked pretty interesting, but it ran off a mont ago."
"Ara Ara~~"
Apparently Miku had no intention of pursuing the matter. She happily set the tray in her hand on the table and poured black tea into the rather expensive-looking teacups.
Delicious…
Although she did not usually co into contact with this kind of English style afternoon tea in her personal life, that did not stop Yutsuki from appreciating the tea.
Shido tried to chat with Miku, while Yutsuki quietly sipped the tea and silently observed Miku.
"Good, good. Shido's favorability is steadily rising. What, at first I thought she'd be much harder to handle. At this rate, maybe it'll be resolved pretty easily. Shido, don't rush. Keep talking at this pleasant pace. Yutsuki-nee, step in when Shido's topic gets stuck."
"...Understood."
Kotori's voice in the radio reached Shido and Yutsuki's ears, and both of them nodded and softly responded.
But… would it really go this smoothly?
Yutsuki looked at Miku's captivating smile toward Shido and felt a slight unease in her heart.
Shido tried to pull out a few topics from the things he knew to keep the conversation going. Yutsuki also inserted a few remarks at appropriate monts so as not to arouse suspicion.
In truth, they were not talking about anything important—just ordinary, everyday chatter, the sort of thing that would probably be completely forgotten after a few hours.
Still, Shido often accidentally blurted out lines that could make one suspect his gender, and thanks to Yutsuki smoothing things over beside him, it never beca a problem.
However, the three of them were all deeply engaged in the conversation, and before they knew it, the scenery outside the window had already been dyed a deep red by the evening sunset.
"Oh my, it's already gotten this late while we were chatting—"
"I'm very sorry. We got too absorbed in the conversation."
"Yes… we should probably be heading back now. Thank you for the hospitality."
Just as Yutsuki and the others were preparing to take their leave, Miku gently shook her head.
"It's fine. I really did have a wonderful ti talking with you today—"
Miku showed a lively, delighted smile and gazed at Shido and Yutsuki.
Shido, out of embarrassnt, could not help but avert his gaze. Yutsuki, anwhile, smiled back politely.
"After all, you really are wonderful! You're a type I've never encountered before."
As if confirming so conclusion, Miku nodded.
"Shiori-san, Yutsuki-san, I'm very fond of you two. Starting tomorrow, please transfer to Rindouji All Girls' School!"
"...Eh?"
Yutsuki and Shido both let out confused sounds at that.
"…Transfer to Rindouji?"
"That's right. Please, I beg you both to transfer here!"
Looking at Miku's serious expression, Yutsuki could tell she was not joking. Her brows slightly furrowed.
She lightly tapped the earpiece in a rhythmic pattern—that was the signal she had discussed in advance with Kotori, indicating that she thought it would be better to refuse.
"That really doesn't sound like a joke… Although I don't want to ruin her good mood, the risk is simply too high. Shido, follow Yutsuki-nee's idea and refuse. We'll think of other ways to adjust things."
As Kotori said that, Shido nodded in agreent.
Miku, seeing the two of them remain silent, thought they might be worrying about transfer-related issues and continued:
"Of course, you don't need to worry about your grades or money. I'll speak with the school properly. Oh, could you tell your addresses and clothing sizes? I'll have them send the uniforms out today."
Hearing that, Yutsuki's expression turned grave.
What is going on? You have to know that transferring schools is not such a simple matter. It's true that Miku is a famous idol, but the school would not simply agree to her nonsense just because of that.
And besides, from the way she spoke, this probably was not her first ti doing sothing like this—and she sounded very confident about it too.
"W-Wait a mont. That is not sothing I can decide so easily."
Just as Shido followed Kotori's instructions and expressed a refusal, Miku's smile did not change. She stood up and walked around in front of Yutsuki and Shidou.
Then,
[~Please~]
A voice like a coquettish plea rang out in their ears.
In an instant, that voice pierced through the eardrum, and Yutsuki felt a sudden wave of intense dizziness.
It was as if she had been drunk. Her consciousness beca hazy, and in that state of self-forgetfulness, Yutsuki almost could not help but answer Miku's request.
No!
Just as her consciousness was about to sink completely into the ocean, Yutsuki bit down hard on the tip of her tongue. The intense pain instantly restored her clarity.
"Ratziel!"
Blue white electricity materialized in Yutsuki's hand, transforming into a dark blue longbow the length of her own body. The next mont, a black trench coat like vestnt appeared on her body, and black sleeves wrapped around her arms.
"What is this?!"
Miku fell into a daze for a mont because of Yutsuki's transformation. Taking advantage of that opening, Yutsuki grabbed Shido and quickly put distance between them and Miku.
"Yutsuki? You're injured."
Because his body was still protected by the spiritual power of several Spirits, Shido snapped out of his brief daze. Seeing the faint blood at the corner of Yutsuki's mouth, he imdiately asked in alarm.
"I'm fine!"
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Yutsuki shook her head to indicate that she was alright. Then she looked at Miku with a serious expression.
"Ara Ara~. I never expected Yutsuki-san to be a Spirit too, just like !"

Imdiately afterward, Miku's body began to glow faintly, and the gorgeous outfit of a diva that had appeared in the video earlier materialized upon her body.
