"No! This isn't happening! I'm a guy! I don't swing that way with another men!"
Shiori was having a identity crisis while in the midst of a date with me. We just finished eating and he was suffering on every move that I tried to hit on him.
"Shiori-chan, are you okay?"
"Haru-san, please stop it! You're already bad for my heart! Please spare my masculinity!"
"Hahaha! But you live with a bunch of girls. Aren't you tired being troubled by them everyday?"
"Huh? How did you found out about that?"
"Do you remember White Queen?"
"Isn't she Kurumi's inverse spirit? Kurumi was the one who told me."
"White Queen is my little sister and her name is Lolisa."
"Little sister? Wasn't she supposed to be Yamauchi Sawa, Kurumi's best friend?"
"I see... Kurumi told you everything about her identity. You're correct, but there's another soul which fused with Kurumi's inverse spirit and her best friend, she is the current dominant personality of White Queen and she's my little sister Lolisa."
"Then Haru-san, what really are you? We can detect a very different powerful energy from you which has nothing to do with spirits of this world." Shiori turned serious and asked me.
"Nah, you don't nothing to worry about me. I just nothing but passing bystander that you can see everywhere."
"Ugh! Are you avoiding to answer me?"
"Nah, I'm serious. As long as you don't offend me or anything, I won't do any harm." I stood up from my seat then said, " Anyway, can you help me buy appliances on electronic store? I don't know which should I get."
"Well, sure..."
After he agreed, I went to the counter to pay our bill.

We entered to a tall building, Shiori guided me to the appliances store and showed me around while explaining to me every details of different brands. I picked out what he recommended to me and he taught me how to use it. His became paler and paler as I bought a lot of things from the store.
In the toilet section, I was still confused which brand should I install in my home and Shiori was looking at me weirdly. With three options that looks great, I remembered that I have to build more toilet at home since there are many people living with me.
"I'll take those three." I said and pointed to the three toilet design.
In the parking lot, the boxes of appliances was stacked together in one place as I instructed them.
"How will you carry those things?"
"Hehe... Watch me, Shiori."
At the snap of fingers, a void opened below the pile of boxes and it fell down together inside then disappears.
"Huh? What was that just now?" Shiori was surprised.
"It's called Spatial Storage, one of my abilities which I can store a lot of things in unlimited space."
"That's amazing..." Shiori still looks confused of my abilities.
"Just think of it like a character in a game where he can store a lot of things in his inventory. Easy as that."
"I see..." he finally understand.
While walking together at the side of the road, Shiori seems to look unsettled until he tried to speak it to me when I saw a little girl in front of us chasing a ball with no awareness of a truck passing the road with speed.
"Haru-san! Umm--"
*Toot~* *Toot~*
"That's dangerous!"
I quickly activated my curse energy and performed a curse technique as I clapped my hands together and switched position with the little girl.
*Clap!*
Shiori was surprised when I switched places with the little girl and I jumped very high to avoid the truck while spinning in the air.
I landed on the side of the road with the ball on my hand.
"Huh?"
Giving back the ball to the little girl while smiling, I patted her in the head.
"Next time, you have to watch out for any vehicle on the road. You nearly died just now."
The mother who was just able to see what happened came running to her child and cried while embracing her tightly.
"Kiara-chan!"
The mother gave us her thanks then both we quickly left the scene before the crowd could gather together.
We rested on a nearby park and we sat together on a bench while watching the sun setting down behind a large building.
"Thanks for today, Shiori-chan."
"It's fine, but can you stop calling me with that name? My real name is Itsuka Shido. Just Shido is fine."
"Aren't you going to seal me? Where is my kiss?"
I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and I tried to kiss him.
"Hey! I told you to stop it! It's already reported to me that you're not a spirit!" she pushed my face away.
I let him go and laughed hard.
"Hahaha! I'm just kidding, bro!"
Shiori looks very tired dealing with me.
"Since, I owe you today. I will pay you back in the future."
"Huh?"
I took out my flip phone and opened it, showing him my contact information on my phone
"I don't know if it will work but how about you try to message me?"
"Okay."
He took out his phone and saved my contact information then he tried to contact my phone. Suddenly, his phone screen started glitching and then my phone started to ring. I accepted the call and it seems it is working fine.
"If you're in a pinch and you need my help, you can contact me in my phone."
"Thanks, I'll do that then." he nodded.
"Also, don't forget to send me some pictures of you wearing a sexy girl dress."
"I won't do that!"
"Hahahaha!" I laughed at him again.
He sighed while having an headache.
"Hanging out with a guy like this, it's not really that bad. You see, Shido..."
"Huh?" he glanced to me surprise when I called him with his real name.
"At home, I am surrounded by nothing but girls. Remember my little sister White Queen? She actually have severe case brother complex. The same with my big sister, she was already infected by little sister and she started to make a move with me. I also living with my soon to be girlfriend and we have a beautiful maid with her little sister included. It's like I'm living a Harem life that a guy has been dreaming of but it's not actually that pleasant everyday. You understand me, right? Shido? The troubles that I have been facing..."
When I looked at Shido, his eyes widened and tears fell from his eyes. He just tapped me in the shoulder out of sympathy.
"Say no more. Let's just do our best to make them happy."
We just watched the sun together until settled down.

When I returned back to my home world, the first one who came out of the house was Lolisa and kicked the door to open then she immediately jumped and hugged me.
"Welcome back, Onii-sama--Wait!" she suddenly smelled something when sniffed me on my shoulder.
"A girl? Onii-sama, how dare you cheat on me?!"
"I didn't. Also I'm not dating you."
"Who was it? I won't forgive Onii-sama if you went out with Kurumi!"
"Nope, it's Shiori."
"Shiori?" Lolisa tilted her head in confusion until she realized something and her face became pale.
"Onii-sama, don't tell me..."
"That's right, she's really good especially..." I smiled licking my lips in satisfaction.
Lolisa swayed around then she fell off on the ground and lost her consciousness with bubbly mouth.
"Just kidding."
Belfast and Little Bel bowed to me in the entrance and we entered the house together, living Lolisa outside.
