Heavenly Palace City, Tenth Street.
Chocolate and Vanilla Café.
"Hmm? The second elf escaped? "
Seeing Eight-cloud Ink's gaze, Kurumi and Mei Jiu looked at each other and nodded.
"Sorry, darling, we didn't find the second elf."
Mei Jiu moved to the side of Yakumo who was sitting on a chair and reached out to grab his sleeve.
"So, in order to express my apology, darling, please accept my apology kiss!"
Pouting her red lips, Mei Jiu closed her eyes and leaned over.
Then, a strange touch on her lips made Mei Jiu open her eyes in confusion.
Eight-cloud Ink put his index finger on her mouth.
"Ah! Darling, do you want me to give you a [Beep —]? But there are so many people here … "
Mei Jiu blushed and reached out to grab Yakumo's wrist. Then, she looked at his raised fingers with an eager expression. What are you thinking? Do you have the guts to say it out loud, Yakumo?
Eight-cloud Ink pulled his hand out of Mei Jiu's grasp and gently knocked on the elf girl's head.
Then, he looked at Kurumi.
"Since the second elf escaped, let's put it aside for now."
He raised his hand and opened a gap. Then, the unconscious Shido fell out.
"Shido —!"
Seeing Shido, Kotori, Origami, and Tohka all wanted to go up.
"Wait, Lord Shido hasn't recovered yet."
After signaling the three girls to wait for a while with a look, Yakumo first summoned a few succubi to firmly hold down Shido's four limbs. Then, she set up a defensive barrier around the entire coffee shop. Then, she took out a zither from a gap and placed it in front of her.
After doing all this, he snapped his fingers, and Eight-cloud Ink removed the suppression on Shido.
"Roar —!!!"
After waking up, Shido immediately roared like a beast and struggled to get up.
"Zhng — zhng zhng zhng zhng —"
Eight-cloud Ink's ten fingers danced on the zither, and a strange zither sound sounded.
"This, this is —!?"
Except for Ashina, everyone looked at each other.
As Eight-cloud Ink continued to play, Shido gradually calmed down.
Finally, when Shido stopped struggling and his eyes regained their clarity, Eight-cloud Ink put away the zither and dispersed the Succubus.
"Daolord Scholar, how do you feel?"
Sitting on the chair, Eight-cloud Ink looked down at Shido who was lying on the ground and laughed.
"Ah — — what happened to me — —"
Just as Shido was about to say something, the excited Kotori, Tohka, and Origami pounced on him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch …"
The three girls were all on top of him at the same time. His entire body was covered in sweat … sorry, I meant that Daolord Scholar had been injured quite a few times during his previous rampage. He immediately began to cry out in pain.
The panic-stricken girls immediately got up and hurriedly apologized.
"Alright, alright. Since Dao Lord Scholar has woken up, let's move on to the next question."
After Tohka and Kotori helped Shido up, Eight-cloud Ink looked at Origami.
The atmosphere in the coffee shop suddenly became a little heavy.
"Tobiichi Origami, are you saying that Kotori is the one who killed your parents?"
"That's right!"
Origami's eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Kotori.
If it wasn't for Ashina and the Hayate sisters consoling her, she would have already equipped her equipment and attacked Shido.
"Eh!? Eh? What's going on!? "
It was obviously the first time that Shido had heard of this in his sober state, and he was instantly shocked.
"Let me ask you — —"
Origami glanced at Shido and then walked up to Kotori, who had her head lowered in silence.
"— — Five years ago, you were the one who caused the great fire in Heaven Palace City, right?"
… Silence.
Kotori nodded.
"What's going on!? What great fire five years ago? "
Shidao was at a loss for words.
"Can you explain it clearly?"
"I'm sorry … Onii-chan …"
Strangely, Kotori, who was wearing a black headscarf and in her commander mode, called him brother.
"I've been hiding it from you all this time. Actually, I'm also an elf …"
"Kotori, you, you're an elf!?"
"Yes, five years ago, I met Phantom. She gave me a spirit crystal, and I became an elf."
"On the day I became an elf, I lost control of my power and caused a great fire that affected the entire Heaven Palace City …"
"Then, you killed my parents!"
Origami pointed at Kotori with a ferocious expression.
"Wait a minute-"
Eight-cloud Ink noticed that something was wrong and interrupted Origami.
"You said that Kotori 'killed' your parents. I asked you before if you saw Kotori kill your parents with your own eyes, and you said no?"
Origami pursed her lips and looked at Kotori. "That day, my parents were trapped in the house because of the fire. Then, an attack suddenly fell from the sky and hit the roof, which was already badly damaged by the fire, and my parents died …"
"Hmm?"
Kotori was surprised.
An attack from the sky?
"No!"
Kotori looked up and hurriedly said:
"I've never launched an attack from the sky to the ground! At that time … at that time … I was in the sea of fire until Shido appeared … "
"In other words, although Kotori caused the fire five years ago, the elf present at the time — — fine, it might be a magician, but there were outsiders present, right?"
Eight-cloud Ink analyzed.
"Ah, that seems to be the case …"
Kurumi covered her mouth and giggled.
"It seems that Mikawa-san isn't Tobiichi Origami's enemy?"
Shido was pleasantly surprised.
On one side was his sister, and on the other side was his classmate (harem?). Shido didn't want to see them turn against each other.
Origami stared at Kotori in disbelief.
"If it wasn't you, who could it be? You were the one who started the fire, weren't you? "
Kotori lowered her head again.
No matter what, it was Kotori who caused the fire five years ago.
"Maybe we can go and see for ourselves what happened five years ago?"
Kurumi suddenly laughed.
Eight-cloud Ink frowned and stared at Kurumi.
His intuition told him that Kurumi's suggestion wasn't simple.
However, seeing Tobiichi Origami's hopeful expression, Eight-cloud Ink didn't stop her.
"I can send Tobiichi Origami to five years ago. Maybe you can save your parents?"
"Slap —!!"
Origami suddenly knelt in front of Kurumi, and this sudden action made the coffee shop fall into silence again.
"Please!"
She buried her head deep into the ground.
"You don't have to be like this. I just want to see if history can be changed …"
As she said that, Kurumi's face looked desolate and crazy.
Eight-cloud Ink's eyes flashed with understanding.
[So, she still hasn't given up on that sad wish?]
