On Shopping Mall, Shiori and I went to buy some clothes then I offered Shiori that I would buy her a present. I dragged Shiori to a swimsuit section where we could choose a swimsuit for her. I took a navy frilly swimsuit and showed to her.

"Shiori-chan, how about you try this? I think it would suit you. "

"That's a girl's swimsuit." Shiori held her head in pain.

"But it looks cute on you?"

"Give me a break, Haru."

I gave her the swimsuit then I pushed her to changing room.

"Just try it!"

"Hey, stop pushing me! This is not a good joke!"

"It would be fine." I pushed her inside the changing room and quickly closed the curtain.

"I'd like to see you in that swimsuit, Shiori-chan!"

After several minutes of waiting, the curtain opened and Shiori was still the same dress but she was covering her face while crying.

"What happened? Are you okay, Shiori-chan?"

"Damn you, Haru... I lost something very important because of you."

"Did you really try it?"

"..."

Shiori was silent and she didn't respond which just meant that she tried the swimsuit.

"How was it?"

"It grossed me out! What am I even doing?! It's because you forced me to wear that!"

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you. How about we visit a nearby cafe and rest?"

We entered a coffee shop and relaxed ourselves for the time being. While sipping my coffee, three familiar ladies came inside the coffee shop, sitting on the table next to us while they are wearing simple disguises. They didn't bother to cover themselves properly since I can easily figure it out with my Six Eyes. Their eyes are looking intensely at our direction especially Shizu-nee and Lolisa when they found that I went out on another date with Shiori.

"Unforgivable, Shiori! How dare you seduce my Onii-sama!" I can hear Lolisa mumbling while she's staring at Shiori in jealousy.

"I can't take this anymore, Haru-kun. Please come back to us!" Shizu-nee was already in tears.

While looking more thoroughly around the coffee shop, I found another group watching us aside from Flaxinus who assisted Shido on his every date and it was Origami, Tohka, Yoshino and her puppet Yoshinon.

"Shiori-chan."

"Please spare me already, Haru. I'm begging you!"

"How many spirits have you been sealed so far?" Asking him with serious topic made him realize that I'm not kidding anymore.

"So far, I got Tohka and Yoshino."

"That means, two."

"About your little sister..."

"Oh, you mean Lolisa? You don't have to count her since she's Kurumi's inverse spirit separated from her and she's from Neighboring World. You just have to focus on sealing Kurumi instead."

"Neighboring World? Hey, Haru. Just how much did you know about spirits?" Shido was desperate to ask me.

I took a sip on my coffee and smiled at him.

"Everything."

Shido's eyes widened hearing my answer.

"What I suggest for you now is to take your time. When the time is right, the truth will reveal itself."

I can see impatience in her expression so I decided to held both of their hand and whispered closely to her.

"Shiori-chan, I like you. I want you to go out with me."

"Eh?"

Shiori's face turned red and she became flustered, pulling away her hands from me.

"Are you serious?!"

"I've always been serious."

"I'm a guy!"

"What a coincidence, me too."

While messing around with Shido, someone suddenly wrapped an arm around my neck and tried to choke me up.

"Onii-sama, unforgivable! You cross the line!"

"That's right! Punish that idiot, Lolisa! He deserves it!"

"Forgive my words if I have mistaken, Haru-sama but I don't like what you did just now."

It was Lolisa and Shizu-nee taking their anger to me out of jealousy while Belfast was just standing behind them with calm expression.

"Shidou! You can't!"

"Do you prefer a man than a girl, Shidou-san?"

"If you want, I will dress up as a guy for you, Itsuka-kun."

Shidou was already surrounded by his harem and he screamed at their words.

"I'm not!!"

Just outside the shop, I was shock to see Yunyun chasing after Fuyumi who's running around in excitement. Little Bel was following them around until the three of them entered the coffee until Fuyumi went towards Shizu-nee and hugged her mother.

"Mama!"

"Fuyumi, stop running around!"

Yunyun was breathing heavily until she noticed and glanced to me.

"Huh? Haru-kun?"

"Yunyun? Wait! You can cross the portal gate?"

"Yes, Shizuka-oneechan and Lolisa-san asked me to come with them then I arrived here with everyone."

After she explained, Lolisa came to her and whispered something to her ears.

"Yunyun, I have something to tell you..."

"Huh?!"

Yunyun was shock then she glanced to me, looking mad.

"Wait, Yunyun! They know that I'm just messing around! Don't listen to everything they say!"

"Hey, Haru! Who is this girl?" Shido whispered and asked me.

"She's my girlfriend."

Shido became pale after hearing my answer.

"Seriously? You're so busted!"

"I never thought everyone was following me here!"

"Then you reap what you sow for messing around too much with me." Shido grinned, moving away from me.

"Hey!"

"Haru-kun, care to explain to me? They told me that you confessed to another girl."

I can already sense the scary aura that she was emitting with her crimson eyes glowing.

"Nah, it's just a friendship between guys. We guys tends to mess around and it's something you don't have to take seriously. Just think of it like your friendship with Megumin when accompany her to cast her daily explosion."

"Oh, I see... Wait! A guy?"

Yunyun glanced at Shido in surprise when she saw how cute she was in female dress.

"Sorry, he's right. I'm a guy."

"Eh?!" Yunyun was completely shock.

Remembering that Yunyun can cross the portal gate, an idea came to my mind which I want to suggest on Shido.

"Hey, Shido. Do you want to--"

Suddenly, we sensed an intense pressure coming from outside the building and the whole building was trembling.

"Onii-sama!"

"I understand!" Glancing at Shizu-nee, "Shizu-nee, take everyone back quickly!"

"Yes, but what about you?"

"Don't worry, I'll just give her some greetings."

Shizu-nee opened the portal gate and Belfast took Fuyumi and Little Bel with her first and jumped inside the portal.

"Yunyun, quick!"

"Haru-kun!" Yunyun looks so worried about me.

"Don't worry, I'm the strongest." I replied with confident tone and smiled at her, waving my hand.

"I'll be waiting for you, Haru-kun!" Yunyun nodded with smile then she ran through the portal followed by Shizu-nee.

Seeing Lolisa staying, I was worried that she will get caught in an intense fight.

"I just want to watch the fight, Onii-sama."

"Same here. I'm quite curious." Kurumi emerged from Lolisa's shadow.

"Tsk!" Lolisa looks annoyed of her.

"It's kind of boring watching the house alone, you know." Kurumi was grinning at her.

Walking out of the building as the sound of alarm warned all the people to evacuate to the shelters. Shido and his companions are following me from behind which I didn't really mind.

Glancing above, an entity covered in mosaic was floating in the air which surprised Shido.

"That's..."

"What is that thing?" Tohka pointed.

"Shido, I have a favor to ask you."

"Huh? What is it?"

"Can you bring everyone to Flaxinus including my little sister? It's more safer there than watching around here."

"Okay, I'll ask my little sister Kotori."

Shido spoke with the commander of ship which is her little sister and it seems like she agreed with my request.

"Yes, thank you very much. Haru, I'll take everyone to the ship!"

"Thanks, Shiori-chan! I'll treat you on our next date." I gave her a thumbs up.

"There won't be next one!"

When everyone finally left and sent to safer place, I will be facing alone the most powerful spirit in this world which is the spirit of Origin.

"Isn't it too early for you to show yourself to us?" I spoke with conceited grin.

"I won't let you take him away from me." the mosaic responded with furious tone.

"Sorry, but Shiori is mine now. Ex-girlfriends like you has no place anymore in her heart."

"Shut up! My plan has become messy because of unknown entity like you!"

"Before we introduce ourselves, it's kind of unfair if I can't see your real appearance." I took off my blindfold then I rushed towards her, imbuing my fist with curse energy, devil fruit and haki combined together in a single punch.

"Black Flash!"

My fist hit her barrier and crack spreads through the air as black curse energy explodes.

"It's futile!"

"I'm not finished yet!"

With Domain Amplification, an anti-domain technique that I enveloped myself, Mio was surprised when I suddenly went through inside her barrier and hit her in the face with my fist.

"Sorry, that was just a prank!"

I sent her crashing to the building.

"Take that, you homewrecker!"
