Hello!! Saka here. Thanks to you all who have read this story, I really glad and I hope you enjoy it. Anyway, here the new chapter and please review.
Shido is now waiting in front of Tengu station, he carrying a bag filled with a towel and swimsuit he bought yesterday.
' here come date with Kotori again' he tough ' I hope today gone well', he really hope Origami didn't go attack Kotori again this time.' well.. I just have to seal Kotori's power before Origami come I guess' he tough ' thankfully I had a good sleep last night'.
"good morning Shido-kun, are you ready for today mission ." he hear Kannazuki voice.
"morning Kannazuki-san, yeah I am ready" Shido reply.
"….that's good to hear, are you have a good sleep? Shin"he hear a Reine's sleepy voice.
"ahh.. Reine-san, yeah I have a good sleep, thank you for asking" Shido reply.
"that's good, and get ready Shin, Kotori is just teleported to ground also don't forget to praise her clothes" Reine said.
"understood"
After a moment Shido heard a step from his side and turn his head toward that direction, he see Kotori she's wearing sleeveless T-shirt over one piece dress and carrying a bag and her hair is tied to twin tail with black ribbon.
"good morning, Kotori" Shido said.
"good morning, Shido sorry I've keep you waiting" Kotori said.
"not really, I just arrive and that suit look cute on you".
"yeah, thank you" she say with slight blush on her check "even if that just Fraxinus command you to say, I still feel happy".
"but I am not say that from Fraxinus command, I say that from my heart" Shido say "if you don't want me to receive command from Fraxinus, I can remove the earpiece for this date".
Kotori blush even more with slight shook expression on her face.
"you're pretty bold today Shido, is it because your date partner is me?, it seems my guess that you're a siscon is right". Kotori said with teasing smile.
"no, I am not a siscon" he denied "I just stating what I see, that's it".
' why you say something like that so easily' she tough while blushing.
"thank you I guess, and you don't need to remove that earpiece, you maybe cant do anything if you remoce that." Kotori said.
"alright then if that what you want" Shido simply reply.
"Shido!!"
Shido hear familiar voice calling him, he turn to the source and he see Tohka with Yoshino following behind her.
"Tohka, Yoshino, Yoshinon, morning" he greet them.
"good morning… Shido-san".
" good morning Shido-kun~~. Sorry to keep you waiting".
"Shido, are we really will swim in indoor lake?" Tohka ask excitedly.
"we will swim in pool Tohka, not in lake. Even if the pool is so big that's not lake" Shido explain.
"inviting three girls at once, you really bold today Shido." Kotori said.
Hearing this Shido just shrugged and smile a little.
"this is Reine-san idea, she think its good to inviting them and I am not against it so like that" Shido said.
Kotori just stare at him for a bit before shook her head and come near Tohka and Yoshino to talk with them.
"..you handle it pretty well Shin" he hear Reine sleepy voice.
"thank you Reine-san," he reply.
"..i am curious tough. What are you doing if she truly ask you to remove the earpiece?" she ask.
"remove it of course, its better than she think all I do is from command and not from my will". He answer.
"..is that so, anyway the train is arrive you better get going" she say.
"okay"
"Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino" he call them "the train is arrive let's get going"
"okay, Shido" Tohka beamed.
" lets go Shido-kun, it seems you're so excited to see Yoshino body" Yoshinon said.
"Yo.. Yoshinon" Yoshino squeaked .
Kotori just follow them silently. The get to the train and go to Ocean Park, when they arrive Shido pay for their ticket, they entering pool section and change in change room.
"whoah!! . this amazing Shido. I never think there's indoor lake like this!" Tohka beamed.
After change they heading to the pool and see many pools with various size and depth and artificial forest and mountain.
"are we really can swim here?. Is there fish in here?" Tohka ask.
"yes, we can swim here and no there's no fish here" Shido explain.
" ne ne~~ Shido- kun look here please~~ " he hear Yoshinon call him.
He turn his gaze to Yoshinon and see Yoshino wearing swimsuit they bought yesterday and a cute float around her waist and beside her is Kotori wearing two piece swimsuit, the top has stringed design that tied behind her neck.
"ahh Yoshino, Kotori" he focus on Yoshino before say again "did you have problem wearing swimsuit again Yoshino?".
Yoshino's face flustered in embarrassment remembering event yesterday
"n..no Kotori-san hel..help me this time so.. I do…don't have any pro…problem" she stutter.
"glad to hear that" Shido say "also Kotori that's swimsuit really suit you, you look cute."
Kotori have a slight pink on her check before give him mischievous smile and say.
"thank you Shido, I am flattered. Is that from your opinion or from Fraxinus command"
"its from my own opinion of course" Shido reply.
"hoo, if its truly from your own opinion the which part of me that's cute?" Kotori ask.
Shido put his finger on his chin and think.
"wait Shin, the choose is appear" he hear Reine said.
. Everything ! Kotori looks cute whatever she wear.
. Although that swimsuit look rather plain, but it quiet unique.
. Aah, those budding breast are irresistible.
Everyone in Fraxinus bridge manipulate their console to choose one option. The result is number one have the most voice, followed by number two and just one person choose number three.
"number one have the most voice, its as expected I guess" Kannazuki say while supporting his chin with his hand.
"yes, although number two is not bad either, but it put too much emphasis to her swimsuit".
"as for number three, well it goes without asking".
"okay, in that case, Shido-kun choose number three, say 'aah, those budding breast are irresistible'" Kannazuki said.
"EEEHHHH!!!!??"
That shocked voice echoed on bridge of Fraxinus.
"what are you saying vice commander, the opponent is commander Kotori here, there's no way she will take that well."
Meanwhile with Shido and Kotori. Shido right now having expression that saying 'are you serrious', he forgot that this is happen last time and he can't believe he truly say that to Kotori that time.
' i will not say that to Kotori, not again' he tough. Shido ignore the commotion he hear from his earpiece and say.
"all of you look cute Kotori, you're cute on your own. That swimsuit just make you look more cute."
Kotori's eyes widened and her face is blushing before say.
"you took your time before you answer that. Is that answer is from Fraxinus choice?".
"no, its not from Fraxinus. Actually Fraxinus give me the answer, but I don't think you will like it so, I give you my own." He explain.
"and what answer Fraxinus give you that you think I will not like it?" Kotori ask a bit curious. The choice from Fraxinus is programed to be liked by target after all.
"do you really want to know?" Shido ask
"uhm yeah, what so bad about that answer" Kotori ask a bit confused, Shido rarely ask like that.
Shido stay silent for a bit before say.
"okay, if you really want it. The answer Fraxinus give me is 'aah, those budding breast are irresistible' that".
Kotori eyes widened, her face is as red as her hair, it seems steam will come out from her ear at any time.
"why you perv..!?!?!?!?". she shout before stopped herself. She take a deep breath and pinched her nose bridge.
"is Kannazuki who give you that answer? She ask again after she calm enough.
"yes" Shido say while nodding his head.
Kotori take a deep breath once more and say.
"maybe, I should ask Reine to take command for this while I am not around". She say with defeated hopeless expression.
"yeah, that's not important for now, anyway let's just enjoy this day, this is our date after all" Shido say exceeding his hand to Kotori.
Kotori a bit shocked by his act, but she take his hand.
" yeah I think you're right " Kotori say.
Shido lead Kotori and Yoshino behind them to Tohka, who is right now inside the pool already.
"Kotori, want to try the water slide?" Shido say while pointing one of highest water slide.
"that one, its okay I guess lets go" Kotori say.
"i.. I want try that to" he hear Yoshino say.
"okay, lets try that together." Shido say. "Tohka, we want to try that water slide, do you want to join?"
Tohka hearing her name stop her swim and turn toward Shido.
"umu, I want to" she said.
They four heading to water slide and try it.
#
Shido, Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino and Yoshinon is now sitting on the chair and table that available near the pool. They have swim and try almost all mode in this Ocean Park, like water slide, wave pool and such. Even if there's some accident like when Yoshinon missing after they use water slide, which resulting a mini ice mountain inside the pool and Shido have to reject some of Fraxinus command again because they are to…inappropriate, but its still fun and they have a good time together.
Now they're resting and having some lunch together.
"Yoshino lets try that gondola after this" Tohka say to Yoshino.
"umu, okay, I want to try that to" Yoshino reply.
"nah Kotori, do you enoying this?" Shido ask.
"yeah, this is surprisingly enjoyable. Its seems you're not entirely useless when it comes to women." Kotori said, smile teasingly.
"that's great then" Shido said.
"hmph, fell faltered, because this cute little sister of you is compliment you" Kotori smiled proudly.
" 'sigh' calling yourself cute is not too convinced" Shido said.
" so.., I am not cute?".Kotori ask.
"well I am not denied that" Shido reply.
Kotori face flushed a bit and she take a sip from her glass.
They back to their own business. Yoshino and Tohka talking about what will they do after this and Kotori is just sipping her drink.
Shido use this chance to communicate whit Fraxinus.
"Reine-san are you there?" Shido whispers.
"… I am here Shin." He hear Reine's sleepy voice.
"how about Kotori's affection level?, is there any good progress?" Shido ask.
"hmph…., how I say it?, Kotori's affection level is not up or down" she said.
"hah.. what do you mean?" Shido ask confused.
"… I mean what I say, Kotori's affection level is a straight line without up or down" she explain.
'wait, something doesn't up. Isn't Kotori say she love me that day?' he tough ' is there something important I don't remember?'
He keep thinking for a while until he remember.
"Reine-san, is Kotori affection level is enough for sealing to work?" Shido ask.
"umm… yeah, from this data, her affection level is high enough for seal to work. If you kiss her now, her power will be sealed" She answer
"well, that's good to hear. If I can make her comfy enough for me to kiss her, everything will be alright" Shido said.
"..mah… you did good in this date on your own without our support, so I am sure you can do this. Or you want us to assist you more?" Reine ask.
"no, no need for that. I have my plan, but can I ask you something?" Shido said.
"..yeah, you can, its our job to help you after all" she reply.
"can you watch over Tohka and Yoshino?, I'll take Kotori with me so, I need your help to watch over them" he said.
"yeah, we can do that, is that all you need?".
"for now that's it, thank you Reine-san". Shido said.
"its okay, and good luck Shin".
Shido let out a sigh and drink his juice once more, he want to ask Kotori to go to amusement park section, but Kotori stand up and walk away.
"where are you going Kotori?" Shido ask.
"asking a lady where she want to go is rude you know, and here I think you've change" she say while walking away.
Shido narrowed his gaze but let her go any way.' its strange, if I remember correctly there's a bit more time before Kotori need more sedative injection' he tough ' or its just my feeling?'.
Shido wiped that though and following Kotori to bathroom.
"Reine –san are you there, how about Kotori's mental state now?, she act a bit strange." Shido say to earpiece.
"..sorry Shido-kun, but Analyst officer Reine is not in place." He hear Shiizaki voice "and for commander mental state, there's nothing to worry about, like Analyst Officer said commander affection level is good enough for seal to work so.."
"Urgh!"
He hear someone groan from behind vending machine and began to move there.
"wait!,Shido-kun there is…"
He ignore Shiizaki voice and take a peek.
He saw kotori leaning to the wall while grabbing her arm and in front of her is Reine she is wearing two piece swimsuit that revealing her cleavage and lab coat over it.
"Reine give me the drug" Kotori say.
"you're at your limit already Kotori, I've give you fifty more than normal dosage, if I give you more it will be fatal for you" Reine said.
" 'chuckle' I am a spirit now, a mere drug will not do anything dangerous to this body" Kotori say "please, I am begging you, just give me the drug, I want to enjoy this time to the very end. Because if something happen and todays plan fail, maybe there's no next time".
Reine staring her for a bit, before took a syringe from her bag and prepare the drug.
"you have to end this quickly, more longer you do this you will burden your body more heavily, and the drug maybe cant help you that time" Reine said while injecting the drug to her.
"aah. Thank you Reine" Kotori say closing her eyes waiting the drug to work in her system.
Reine packing the syringe back to her bag and take her leave. When she out of the room she stopped. She saw Shido leaning his back against vending machine with his eyes closed.
"did you see that?" Reine ask.
"yes" Shido say nodding his head.
"then I am begging you, please act as if you don't see that and continue your date just like before for her" she said.
"okay, understood." Shido said.
Reine began to walk away but Shido call her.
"and Reine-san"
She turn around to look at him.
"that swimsuit really suit you well" Shido said.
"… aah, thank you I guess" Reine said before walking away again.
Shido wait till she not be seen anymore before go back to table he sat before.
Kotori walking out of the room, try to act normaly, ' I hope Shido not take too long' she tough. She hope Shido not get suspicious, today he seems a bit different, he not flustered when see girls in swimsuit and if what he say is right, that his act is from his own will and not from Fraxinus command. Her heart felt warm in that though.
When she back to table they sat before she Shido sat there sipping his drink but she can't see Tohka nor Yoshino and Yoshinon.
"yo Shido, sorry to keep you waiting" she call him "where's Tohka and Yoshino".
"it's alright, and for Tohka and Yoshino they are going to try a boat tour" he answer her "and Kotori lets change now".
"eeh, what do you mean?" Kotori ask dumbfounded.
"I mean, lets change our clothes and go to amusement park section" Shido said.
"what… why, how about Tohka and Yoshino, we can't just left them alone they will…".
"its alright, its alright." Shido cut her, "I've ask Fraxinus to watch them so they will be alright. And for why amusement park, it's because I love amusement park more than ocean park".
"come one, come on." Shido say as he stand and began to push Kotori.
"wait, wait, even if you say that we cant just..".
"don't worry, don't worry. Everything will be fine."
Kotori's attempt to resist is come to no avail, because Shido is just ignore her protest and push her to change room.
' what happen to Shido so suddenly, he act more confident today and now he is more exited than before' Kotori tough. Meanwhile with Shido, he's currently is changing his clothes while talk to the Fraxinus.
"I'll leave Tohka and Yoshino to you, you can keep them safe from there right?" Shido ask.
"of course we can, no need to worry Shido-kun" he hear Kannazuki voice "but more importantly. Why you reject all instruction from Fraxinus ?!".
"if you follow our instruction you must have kiss commander by now!!".
"what are you saying!!" he hear one of Fraxinus cru Minowa if he not wrong."if Shido-kun follow your instruction he'll at least getting punch!"
"yeah, it's good that Shido-kun act for himself and not from your instruction" he hear another cru.
Shido could only facepalmed before he say.
"thank you Kannazuki-san but, I think I can handle this myself".
"…aah. I am sure you can Shin" he hear Reine voice "you've handle this nicely from the beginning".
"Reine-san. You've back to Fraxinus?" Shido ask.
"aah. And just enjoy your date Shin, we'll take care of Tohka and Yoshino" She said.
"aah, I'll do my best".
When he finish changing his clothes, he waiting outside the change room, he wait for a while till.
"sorry to keep you waiting Shido", he hear Kotori voice "now what we gonna to do?".
"you better prepared Kotori, because we will try all mode this amusement park over" Shido answer her with smile.
Kotori stare at him for a while before say.
"okay, I think that's not a bad idea. So what we gonna try first?".
"ahh. Before that Kotori, would you hold my hand?" he said while exceeding his hand.
"this is the second time you ask for holding hands with me today" Kotori state "is my arm is that good to hold?", she ask with teasing smile on her face.
"yeah, your arm is soft and nice to hold, that's why" he said blatantly.
"wha…!?" Kotori is blused because of Shido's direct answer. She took a deep breath to calm herself before say.
"maybe…. the training you do affecting you too well".
"is that a bad thing?" Shido ask.
"no, I think its not" she said as she take his hand.
"alright then, let's go Kotori, we have many thing's to do today" Shido said as he began to move.
Shido ran through the gate that separated Ocean park section and Amusement park section. Practically dragging Kotori along the way. That saying him to stop but he ignore her. He keep dragging Kotori till they arrive at their first destination, the roller coaster.
"wait.. Shido. Why you not slowdown?!" Kotori ask/yell at him.
"maa.. sorry Kotori. I just too excited for this. Its been a while since we go to amusement park together" Shido said.
"I know that, but still there's no need to drag me like that" she said.
"I know that, but I can't help because you know, I am already in high school", he said.
"what the connection about being in high school and this?" she ask a bit confused.
"that's Kotori I'll tell you a secret" he say leaned to her a bit "when a man in high school a man can only go to amusement park with a man date or with that man family. If you a man go alone he will be seeing as a loneliness person in the world and if man go with another man he will seeing as a gay. That's why I fell so exited today".
"that's not making sense!!" she yell at him "just try to no drag me around and slowing your pace a bit".
"okay, I will not drag you around anymore. And sorry for drag you before" he apologize "now lets try this roller coaster, shall we?".
"okay then" she said with sigh. They go to get the ticket and stand on the line.
#
Meanwhile in tenguu JGSDF headquarters, a certain white hair can be look walking. Her face is blank avoiding any expression and her feeling she feel right now. She's feeling complicated, all because of recent event. First is fight against Kurumi on school rooftop and the appearance of 'Efreet', second is that Shido, her lover, said that spirits is just another being that want to live, and the third is that 'Efreet' identity is Itsuka Kotori, Shido's little sister.
All of that make her confuse and hesitate to take action. 'is 'Efreet' really not the one who kill my parents or Shido just say that because his little sister is one and he don't want me to kill her?' she though.
The tough that her lover is deceiving her make her heart hurt. She arrive in her destination, a hangar that contain certain device that she sure can help her kill spirits. The white licorie. She sure with this she will able to kill spirits and avenge her parents, but now she hesitate, is 'Efreet' really don't kill her parents? Or Shido just deceiving her.
She think about that since last night and still didn't find the answer. But now, she have to make a decision is she really going to act or not. She close her eyes and think for a while before decide.
' 'Efreet' is a spirit, killing my parents or not she is a calamity for this world' she tough ' and I will kill all spirits so no one will fell the same way as I am again'. She though with determination and began to prepare the white licorie.
#
Shido and Kotori now sit on the bench on the cornerthe park, sipping their drink. They've tried almost all mode this amusement park have and they decided to rest.
"so, did you enjoy this Kotori?" Shido ask.
"yeah, this is surprisingly fun. Even if I feel a bit tired but it's fun regardless" She said.
"that's good to hear" Shido said with smile.
They continue to drink in comfortable silent and Shido use this chance to contact Fraxinus.
"Reine-san, how is Kotori's affection level now?" Shido whisper.
"….. aah, Kotori's affection level is good to say. If you ask her now maybe she will let you kiss her" Reine say "and sorry Shin. We not give you the appropriate support".
"it's okay I guess. No need to apologize" Shido said sweatdropped a bit. Because during the date the Fraxinus cru or rather Kannazuki giving him a …. Non appropriate command, regardless the protest from another cru and Shido decide to just ignore it and do it his way.
He look at Kotori and say.
"Kotori, do you love me?".
Kotori's eyes widened in shock and she turn to look at him.
"what?!... what with sudden question?!" she ask.
"well, because you know, the seal will not work if you not love me, so Kotori do you love me?".
' of course, I love you, I love you the most' is what Kotori want to say, but her pride did not allow it instead she say.
"your straight forward question frighten me, but yes, I love you you're my onichan after all".
"that's what I want to hear" Shido said as he began to lean forward.
"Shi… Shido what are you.." Kotori stutter.
"just stand still, Kotori" Shido said.
Shido use his right hand to lift Kotori's chin and slowly close up distance between his lips and Kotori's. meanwhile for Kotori, this sudden action make her mind blank and she just can close her eyelids and play along.
When their lips touched Shido can feel the warm from spirit energy transferred to him from Kotori. Also for Kotori she can feel her spirit energy faded away and she seeing the memory from five years ago when that unknown existence give her spirits power.
When their lips fell apart Kotori's face is red from blushing and she clung to Shido tightly.
"I remember" Kotori said before taking a deep breath.
"…remember what?" Shido ask a bit worried. He afraid that she see the memories from the future just like when he seal Origami's power in his future.
"memories from five years ago, when that unknown existent give me this spirit power and when you give me these black ribbon" she said whit little smile.
Shido let out a relieve sigh, for a moment he think she see his memory from the future before he's ready to tell her.
"glad to hear that. Because its hurt me when you forget my present to you" Shido said. He also can hear cheering and claps came from Fraxinus through his earpiece.
"but why you doing this so suddenly in this public place!. It's good that I wear a mundane clothes and not clothes from my astral dress or I will naked in here!" she scold him.
"sorry sorry. But I manage to reseal your spirit power, so this date is success right?" Shido say " and I have see my surrounding to make sure there's no people around".
"so, you know that we are alone here and you just steal a kiss from me?" Kotori say " you work frighten me, are you secretly a sexual assaulter?".
"NO!!" he denied. He take a deep breath while she chuckle before say.
"let's just back to Tohka and Yoshino and get back to Fraxinus. I am sure you need to rest." He advice.
"yeah, I think that not a bad idea" Kotori said as she stand up." Lets go" She said.
She take first step but suddenly her feet lost its strength and she began to fall forward. Fortunately Shido manage to catch her.
"are you alright Kotori?!" Shido said full of concerned.
"aah… I think I am fine, its seems I more tired than I predicted" She said with soft voice.
Shido then squat before her and put her on his back and began to carrying her on his back.
"just rest Kotori, I will get Tohka and Yoshino then we will go to Fraxinus" Shido said.
"umhm, thanks but, being carrying piggy back like this, it's a bit embarrassing" Kotori said blushing.
"maa, sometime it's okay, right?. Today is your day after all" Shido said.
"yeah , I think its fine".
An comfortable silent descended upon them, Shido walk in steady pace, try not making Kotori uncomfortable.
"… good job Shin, you're doing it pretty well" he heard Reine voice from earpiece.
"thank you Reine-san, is everything went well?" Shido ask.
"…yes. There's nothing wrong with the seal from the data. Almost all Kotori's spirit power is sealed within you and there's nothing wrong with your connection with her, and Kotori is just tired because her energy is sealed, she will be fine after rest. There's nothing to worry about." She explain.
"that's good to hear, I'll pick Tohka and Yoshino so Fraxinus can teleport us" Shido said.
"yes, I'll counting to you………. Huh!".
"what's that Reine-san?" Shido ask hearing her surprised voice.
"huh!?!?".
"wha?!?".
Shido never heard Reine's answer because suddenly something like green rope is coiled around him and Kotori and forcibly separated them. Shido is being thrown to a nearby bush, and for Kotori she is engulfed by green sphere and positioned on open field before a barrage of missiles come for her.
"BOOOM!!!!!!".
The explosion echoed through the amusement park, and a giant smoke appear from the explosion, making all visitors nearby began to panic and run away for their life.
"KOTORI!!!!".
Shido calling his little sister name as loud as he can, hoping she will answer him. But when she not answer him, his mind began to think the worse.
"finally, after all these years, finally I can kill 'Efreet'" Shido hear a familiar stoic voice.
Shido look upward. He see Origami wearing giant CR-unit whit giant canon you usually loon on the battleship.
"ORIGAMI!!" Shido shout in agony " what are you doing to my sister!!!!!".
"she is not your little sister. She is 'Efreet', the one who kill my parents and a have avenge them by kill it" Origami said.
Shido's mind is blank, the only thing in his mind is that Kotori is killed and he fail to protect her.
' why…. Why can't I protect her? Maybe if she still had her spirits power within her, she will survive like last time. But her power is sealed now and there's no way a human can survive that attack….' Shido tough.
"what are you doing Origami, isn't I tell you that 'Efreet' is not the one who kill your parents. So why you did this?? Kotori is not doing anything to you?" Shido said, his voice is low and full of desperation from his failure.
"even if what you said is true, the spirits in an existence that shouldn't exist in first place, that's why I will kill all spirits." Origami said.
' so, this is happen because I fail to convince her in first place. Why can't I foresee this, how can I believe that five years worth of hate and obsession can be cure just by a single talk?' Shido's mind is full of that though. His sense of surrounding began to going numb.
'clang'
"what are you doing Tobiichi Origami?!?!?!" Tohka Shout while she attack her.
This sudden event snapped Shido from his desperate though, he look upward and see Tohka and Yoshino, with their limited astral dress manifest engaging Origami to fight and drive her away from him.
"…in!".
"Shin!!" he hear Reine call him "don't fall into despair Shin!. Kotori is still alive!".
This information make his widened and a bit hope in his heart.
"what do you mean?!" Shido shout.
"Kotori is still alive. Her vital sign is not disappear yet" she explain.
Shido without wasting much time running to the still smoked crater and he can see Kotori. She is lied on the ground with her limited astral dress is manifest, it seems she manifest it at the last time before the impact with the missile. You can see a lot of bruise on her body and her limited astral dress is tattered here and there, but from the movement of her chest and little of healing fire on her wound you can she that's she is alive.
"Kotori!!" Shido shout her name. he run to her and hold her.
"hang in there Kotori!" Shido say " I will bring you to the saver place".
He carry her with the princess style and say.
"Reine-san please teleport us to the Frexinus now!".
"okay. Find somewhere hidden so we can extrac you ". Reine said.
Shido run again before he find a rest room and hide behind it.
"okay, extrac us n…"
Before he can finish what he would say, an explosion happened beside him made he throw away from the explosion and Kotori fall from his clutch.
"why you are still alive 'Efreet'?!" Origami said.
Look like she manage to escape from Tohka and Yoshino and continue to pursue her main target.
"cough..cough. oni…chan" Kotori cough. She start to gain consciousness and calling for her older brother.
"I will end you here and now!!" Origami announce as she began to charge the big cannon on her back.
Shido trying his best to stand on his feet, the Shock from the explosion make his ear ringing and his head dizzy. ' come on stand up, Kotori is lied down there. She need your help now. STAND UP AND GO THERE!!' he shout in his mind.
"this is end here 'Efreet'!!!!" Origami shout as she pull the trigger.
The huge green beam is shoot toward Kotori, seeing this she just can shut her eyes ,'at least I can spend my last time with Oni-chan' she think with smile.then.
"BOOOM".
There's explosion but she not feel pain or heat from the cannon, instead she feel a cold wind come from her front.
She open her eyes and her eyes widened instantly. In front her is Shido with Sandhalpon in his right hand and chunk of ice on each side. ' no way, he manifest an angel. That's shouldn't be possible, it's still to early for him for that!' Kotori though.
Meanwhile Origami is also shocked by this sudden event. her eyes widened and her usual stoic face is full of shock.
"I will not let you kill her!!" Shido shout as he swung sandhalpon vertically and sent a flaying dark blade toward Origami, who didn't have time to react.
His attack piercing her territory easily and cut through huge cannon on her shoulders.
Origami fall down her territory is destroyed and her main weapon is damaged.
"why!!?? Why you protect her?!?" Origami shout from her place from the ground.
"because she is my little sister and its my job to make her save" Shido said.
"Why you do this Origami" Shido ask " isn't I tell you that Kotori is not the one who kill your parents?".
"because she is a spirit. And I've dedicated five years of my live to kill it, so there's no more people like me in this world!!" Origami said. She try to recreate her territory once more but she is at her limit. There's blood coming from her nose before she grunted in pain and lost her consciousness.
Shido let out a sigh, he turn toward Kotori before make sandhalpon disappear from his hand.
"let's go Kotori" he said to still shocked Kotori before pick her up princess style.
"let's go home".

Shido is walking on the corridor, he is walking toward Fraxinus bridge to see Reine. It's been few hours after that accident with Origami ended, Tohka and Yoshino is already home in spirits mansion, fortunately they don't get injuries except few bruise and Kotori is now resting in Fraxinus infirmary.
As for Shido he is now in his way to meet Reine in Fraxinus bridge even when his body feel so sore but he sure he can handle it.
The door to bridge room slide open and he can see all Fraxinus cru in their own seat as he approach the person who call him.
"good evening Reine-san" Shido greet her.
"…aah, good evening Shin" she gree him back " good job for today Shin, you manage to reseal Kotori's power, even with some accident happen you still do it really well".
"thank you, but it's also because you all support I can do that" Shido say " also how about Kotori, she manifest her power again in the last moment after sealing process, is that alright?".
"….that's alright, she just take a bit of her power like Tohka and Yoshino, and now that power is back to you again".
"that's good to hear then" Shido say, "is that all you need from me?".
" I also want to apologize, because I make a lot of mistake" she say bow a bit.
"is that for wrong instruction from Fraxinus?" Shido ask.
"yeah… that's also count but, what I mean in way before that." She say "when Kotori awake two days ago I should ask you to reseal her power that time, instead of waiting for this long".
"but, isn't that will not work if her affection level is not enough?". Shido ask.
"that's true but, look at this" Reine said, showed a diagram on the main screen. That is Kotori's affection level diagram, its showed a flat line on the top of it.
"you mean..".
"yes, Kotori's affection level is at the peak from the beginning, so doing today date is unnecessary" she explain "but she seems so exited to go date with you so I still arrange for this. I never think Origami will do what she did today".
"its okay I guess, you don't know this will happen, nobody know. And I truly enjoy todays date so, everything is fine" Shido said.
"what whit that data?!?! The computer is must be wrong" he hear Kotori voice.
Shido turn around, he see Kotori wearing a cute hospital robe with her commander jacket on top of it.
"but the computer is in perfect condition" Reine said.
"20 ice cream gelato" Kotori said toward Reine.
"sorry Shin its seems the computer is error" Reine said.
Shido just can smile wryly and scratch his check at this.
"what are you doing here Kotori, you should be in infirmary" Shido said.
"there's no need to rest, my healing ability has heal me already and beside I have regain my memory from that day, I have to write this in case I forget it again. Also that unknown being 'Phantom' I have a lot work to do" Kotori explain.
"'Phantom' is that the code for the existent who give you spirit power?" Shido ask.
"yes. Also Shido, about what you say today, do you really love me?" Kotori ask blushing a bit.
"yes, of course I love you" Shido answer her, Kotori face grow bright before, "as a little sister" Shido add.
The brightness on Kotori face morphing into ugly wrinkle and she stepped on shido foot, hardly.
"ouch!! What was that fo?!" Shido yell.
"that's for being insensitive!!" Kotori say "and go home already its been late".
"okay, okay, I'll go home now" Shido say "good night Kotori, Reine-san".
He take three step before his head become dizzy and the world spinning before him.
"SHIDO!!". Kotori scream is the last thing he heard before everything went black.
