"Why is it you again!"
Instead of answering Arthas's question, Tohka stared at Itsuka Shiori with a hostile gaze.
"W-well, I'm just passing by here to go to the market to buy things."
Feeling the strong hostility conveyed by the girl's gaze, Itsuka Shiori quickly raised her hands to show her innocence. The girl also felt that Tohka's feelings for Arthas were very abnormal.
According to Kotori, Arthas had completely captured Tohka, with her affection level at max. And her task was to capture Arthas, which seemed impossible no matter how she thought about it.
Not to mention Arthas himself, there was also Tohka watching vigilantly on the side. If she were to express any feelings for Arthas, she would definitely be targeted by Tohka, right?
"Hmph." Seeming to be somewhat dissatisfied with Itsuka Shiori's answer, the girl rolled her eyes somewhat displeased, and then directly pounced into Arthas's arms.
"Hey, hey, hey, let's go on a date. Didn't you say yesterday that you would go on a date with me?"
"Ah, Tohka, do you understand what a date means?" Arthas asked somewhat amused.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, of course I know what it means. A date is like this, being close together and going shopping together."
Shaking Arthas's arm, Tohka said in a coquettish manner.
"Haha, you can also understand it that way, so let's go on a date."
"Oh! Date! Date! Date! Date! Date!" Looking at Tohka who was cheering and jumping for joy, Arthas couldn't help but show a knowing smile again.
Perhaps the other party was just treating this as some fun game, but no matter what, it was enough to make Tohka happy.
"Th-then, what about me?"
Itsuka Shiori awkwardly touched her nose. Standing here, she was like a third wheel and didn't know what to do at all.
"You go with them."
Just as Itsuka Shiori was thinking this, the earpiece in her ear rang with Kotori's voice.
"Eh, eh... Why? I'm just going out to buy things. Kotori, are you also monitoring me?"
"Who's monitoring you? I just received information from the crew saying that they discovered a report of a Spirit appearing, so I rushed over here in a hurry."
"But even if you say that, how am I supposed to say it? They're going on a date, am I supposed to be a third wheel?"
"Well, that's not something I can know. Anyway, just do your best. You need to know that the two in front of you are existences who can easily destroy Tengu City. If you can't constantly monitor and observe them well, what will happen if there's a sudden incident?"
"Even if you say that..."
Itsuka Shiori looked at the two before her with an expression that was about to cry, thinking about how she should ask them to bring her along.
"Shiori, you come along too." Arthas took Tohka's arm, and seeing Itsuka Shiori's troubled expression, he knew what she wanted to say. Then, he smiled and extended an invitation to her.
"Eh..."
Tohka seemed to be somewhat unhappy, but because it was an invitation from Arthas, she could only remain silent and accept it.
"Well, it'll be more lively with more people, right, Tohka?"
"Mm... Okay, then let's bring her along."
Tohka nodded lightly, and Itsuka Shiori spoke again.
"Wait, are you planning to walk down the street in that outfit?" Pointing to the other party's ethereal dress of light, Itsuka Shiori said.
"What's wrong with the clothes?" Tohka tilted her head strangely, looking at her extremely gorgeous outfit.
It wasn't like ordinary fabric at all, and it also emitted a strange, inexplicable glow. At a glance, it was clear that this was definitely not a product that would be found in a normal market.
"There's nothing wrong with the clothes, they're very beautiful, but they're too conspicuous. It'll be troublesome if those AST guys find you again."
"Oh..." Tohka nodded in understanding. "Then what should I do?"
"Change into another outfit, like her school uniform." Arthas said, pointing to Itsuka Shiori standing on the side.
"Mm, her clothes, huh?" Looking at the clothes on Itsuka Shiori, the girl tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then lightly snapped her fingers.
Then, Tohka slightly raised her head, and a strange dark purple light flickered once again.
Then, the dress wrapped around Tohka's body immediately began to dissolve into the air from the edges.
Then, as if to replace it, particles of light-like things stuck to Tohka's body from the surroundings, forming a different appearance.
A few seconds later, Tohka, wearing the same Raizen High School uniform as the female students, was standing there.
"Ta-da! Transformation complete." Spinning her body triumphantly, Tohka showed Arthas her beauty.
"Ah..."
Arthas nodded somewhat blankly. He had clearly seen the dazzlingly white and tender body that the brilliant light from just now couldn't conceal, so he couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
How beautiful... the Spirit.
"What's wrong, Arthas? Your expression looks so strange?" Looking at Arthas's dazed appearance, Tohka curiously approached and asked.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's nothing." Arthas turned his head away awkwardly.
Even if the other party didn't understand human relationships, she was still a girl, and no matter what, she wouldn't be happy about having her body seen by others, right?
It was better to keep this kind of thing in his heart.
Arthas also specially looked around. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians nearby, so Tohka's strange actions wouldn't cause panic if others saw them.
As for Itsuka Shiori, with the girl's eyesight, she naturally didn't see anything.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go on a date!" Tohka said cheerfully, once again taking Arthas's hand.
Turning back to look at the somewhat awkward Itsuka Shiori, Arthas smiled gently, and then also took her hand.
"Th-thank you."
Lowering her head, she made this faint sound, and then the three of them left this ruin together. Turning a corner, a bustling street appeared before the three of them.
"Wh-what is this? The number of humans is... all-out war?!" Looking at the crowds of people coming and going, as well as the vehicles, Tohka shouted in surprise.
Unlike the lack of people due to the spacequake, the dense crowds on the entire street completely frightened Tohka.
"No good... We have to take defensive measures!" Tohka said nervously, and a dark purple light flickered from her fingers.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around!"
Itsuka Shiori stopped the girl with a wry smile, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart that she had followed along, or else who knew what would have happened.
