They were already surprised when Yoshino took out her phone because, in that era, there were no advanced touchscreen phones like iPhones, only more primitive flip phones. If Hakase Satomi, the class's science fanatic, saw this phone, she would definitely try every possible way to get it from Yoshino.
Just as they were about to get a good look at who Yoshino had summoned, the person suddenly transformed into an afterimage, arriving in front of Yoshino and hugging her tightly. She buried her head in Yoshino's hair, deeply inhaling Yoshino's scent, while her hands moved restlessly, making Yoshino's small face flush. Although Yoshino wanted to push her away, she clung on like a magnet, and no matter how Yoshino's small hands pushed, it was no use. Instead, this resistance made the other person even more excited, and those mischievous hands became even more restless.
"Kya!" Feeling the other person's hands already attacking her chest, her small bra already lifted, and her two sensitive spots being pinched, Yoshino felt a jolt of electric numbness and a strange sensation that made her involuntarily let out a strange sound. But she quickly realized that there were other people here, and it wasn't the time to be doing such things, so she anxiously cried out.
"Student Tobiichi! Don't do this! Now is not the time for such things! There are other people here! Let go of me quickly!" Yoshino cried out anxiously, using a bit of spirit power to push her away.
Yes! That's right. The external help Yoshino summoned this time was the slightly strange girl named Tobiichi Origami. Originally, in this world, it should not have been possible to summon people from other worlds here, but Tobiichi Origami's strong desire to see Yoshino was absorbed by Yoshino's master item, breaking the principle that she couldn't come to this world. Although it was a bit strange why this person, who only made a master with Yoshino later, would have a stronger obsession with Yoshino than Nozomi Tojo and Natsumi, her current attitude made Yoshino feel a headache.
The reason she had ignored Tobiichi Origami in the world of date a live was because of her hostile love and her strange personality. In Yoshino's memory, anyone she fixated on would become like a fanatical admirer. Now it seemed that because she had saved the other person's parents, Tobiichi Origami's attitude towards Yoshino had changed.
But what Yoshino didn't know was that it was actually Yoshino's words to her: 'What I want to save is your despairing heart,' that touched Tobiichi Origami's heart, changing her attitude towards Yoshino. A tiny seed was buried in her heart. Subsequently, Yoshino saving her parents and the scene of her falling when she went alone to counter the satellite attack made that seed in her heart grow continuously. The seed quickly grew into a towering tree, which also made Yoshino's position in her heart far surpass that of Itsuka Shido, who was previously the most important person in her heart.
Previously, because she was busy helping Suzuya Yuriko destroy DEM, she didn't have time to think about Yoshino. But now that DEM had been eliminated and Westcott had been thoroughly suppressed, she would daily take out photos and videos of Yoshino that she had hacked from the AST's high-level servers to watch. Under these circumstances, her desire to see Yoshino grew increasingly strong. This desire was accepted by Yoshino's master item, thus giving Tobiichi Origami this opportunity to come to this world. However, she could only stay here for a period of time.
"Call me Origami." Tobiichi Origami, who had been pushed away, didn't mind Yoshino's actions, only requested with a slight blush. It seemed her recent actions had left her very satisfied.
"...I understand, Origami." Looking at her firm expression, Yoshino knew that if she didn't address her that way, the conversation wouldn't continue. But she quickly noticed another important detail: Tobiichi Origami was wearing nothing but a bath towel! (How slow she was, why did she only notice this now?)
This discovery made Yoshino's face, which had returned to normal, turn anxiously red again. She covered her eyes and, with a stuttering tone, pointed at her and said, "Why aren't you wearing any other clothes! What's with the bath towel, Origami! Even if everyone here is a girl, you can't dress like this!"
"Bath towel? Oh~" Blinking her eyes in confusion, Tobiichi Origami looked down at her lack of clothes and nodded knowingly. "I was taking a bath at home just now, so I wasn't wearing any clothes."
"Eh?" Hearing this, Yoshino opened her eyes wide in confusion. She had forcibly summoned Tobiichi Origami while she was bathing, and in her haste, she could only wrap herself in a bath towel to cover her body. "So, is it all my fault that this happened, Yoshinon?"
"Well~ Although I want to side with you, it is indeed your fault, Yoshino. However, this situation shouldn't be a big problem for Tobiichi Origami, who has become a Spirit. Don't forget that Spirits can use their spirit power to create the clothes they want. So you don't have to worry about her current situation." Yoshinon comforted Yoshino, who was slumped on the floor in an ORZ pose.
"It's alright, if it's Yoshino, it doesn't matter even if you see me." After saying that, Tobiichi Origami intended to remove the bath towel from her body, but she was quickly stopped by Waka Miyazaki and Yue Ayase, who acted swiftly. They had originally only intended to watch the show, but seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, they couldn't just stand by. Moreover, the situation was critical now; it wasn't the time for such things.
Then, at Yoshino's request, Tobiichi Origami somewhat reluctantly materialized an outfit for herself, after which Yoshino began to explain the reason for summoning her. As compensation, Yoshino had to take Tobiichi Origami on a fun trip around Kansai after this incident, and Tobiichi Origami would only leave this world after the graduation trip ended. A helpless Yoshino agreed, under Evangeline's grinding gaze.
"Since Yoshino has agreed to my request, I must also prepare myself." She then stood up, closed her eyes, and placed her hands in front of her as if to grasp something. "spirit dress of God's Authority: First Form!"
Then, in the gloomy room, a dazzling light emanated from Tobiichi Origami, and her clothes began to change. A long dress clinging to her body's curves, a short skirt blooming like an open flower, and threads of light extending from a halo floating above her head. All of these were composed of blinding pure white. It was like a bridal gown that only a pure maiden could wear.
Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, Tobiichi Origami slowly raised her right hand and exclaimed, "Metatron!" As if responding to Origami's words, multiple rays of light shone into the gloomy room from outside. Each ray gradually materialized, transforming into slender wings. As Origami clenched her raised right hand into a fist, the wings connected to form a ring, as if placing a crown upon Origami's head.
"An angel..." Waka Miyazaki, the Library's guardian, unconsciously chose the best word to describe the current Tobiichi Origami when she saw this scene.
"As expected, the spirit crystal that Yoshino confiscated from you returned to you on its own after Yoshino disappeared. Although it feels a bit like Fate, you are the most suitable person for this spirit crystal," Yoshinon said with a sigh as she looked at the scene before her. When Yoshino first took the spirit crystal from her, Yoshinon thought she had changed Tobiichi Origami's original destiny, but it turned out this way nonetheless.
"To no longer see Yoshino face danger alone, I need to gain more power. No matter what I have to do to protect Yoshino, I am willing." Wearing a spirit dress like a wedding gown, Tobiichi Origami embraced Yoshino and spoke words akin to a confession in a gentle tone she had never used before.
"Wow wow wow~ A declaration of love! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time, right? Everyone else connected to Yoshino chose to act forcefully and never made such an intimate confession! Hahaha~ Tobiichi Origami, you can do it! As Yoshino's guardian, I approve of your relationship!"
"Mm! Thank you! I will do my utmost to bring happiness to Yoshino," Tobiichi Origami said earnestly while holding Yoshino, as if her father-in-law was entrusting his daughter to her.
"No!" Just then, a shout came. Turning around, they found the shout came from Waka Miyazaki.
"Ah ah ah... that... this..." Looking at everyone's gazes, Waka Miyazaki's face turned crimson, and she gesticulated, not knowing what to say. She had heard Yoshinon say she was entrusting Yoshino to Tobiichi Origami and, without thinking, blurted out her objection. This was a bit awkward.
"Uh... I don't think this is the time to talk about such things. Konoe Konoka has already been captured by someone. I think we should hurry to rescue her," Yue Ayase said, stepping forward when she saw her friend's predicament.
"Yoshino-sensei!" Just as they confirmed their mission and were about to depart, Kagurazaka Asuna's voice came from not far away. This was as they had calculated; it seemed Fate had not made things difficult for them.
After they met up, Negi and the others' eyes widened in surprise at the lineup on Yoshino's side. Tobiichi Origami's angelic attire, in particular, moved them and made them wonder where she had appeared from.
"Don't ask anything! Let's leave immediately. There's no time to explain unnecessary things to you now." Yoshino didn't give Negi any chance to speak, and there was no time for them to chat. While they wasted words here, the time they had to rescue Konoe Konoka would only decrease.
"Understood!" Hearing Yoshino's words, the others didn't chatter further. Although they had many questions, they knew this was not the time for idle talk.
"Then, let's depart now." Looking at everyone present, Yoshino and the few people beside her vanished from the spot.
