Chapter 9: Third Round of Girls in Hot Spring

"As for Itsuka-kun, I will say that he is one arrogant guy in the class..."

Nino said softly.

"I see!"

Kotori nodded understandingly. She knew that Shido did this to maintain an image that girls did not like. In fact, Shido was not a cold person at all.

However, it was obvious that Shido's performance was not complete, after all, he protected an injured girl from getting hit by a soccer ball in the beginning of the semester.

"Arrogant?"

Itsuki recalled the scene of Shido and Mukuro eating in the park. She felt nothing arrogant from him.

"Arrogant?"

Miku Nakano murmured. In her belief, a general of the Sengoku Era must be arrogant, and Shido was just the right person she was looking for.

Looking at her sisters' reactions, Nino sighed. Her ominous premonition became more and more intense.

"In class, he rarely talks to others, but if someone talks to him, he responds very gently..."

Nino recalled the first time she talked to Shido when school started.

Obviously, her attitude at that time was not very good, but Shido didn't mind, so she had the idea that Shido was a good boy and suitable for romantic interest.

But now that she knew that Shido already had a girlfriend, she had no such thoughts anymore. Although Shido had said that he would never mess with her sisters, they were somehow interested in him!

Kotori listened carefully. She didn't notice what Shido did wrong, so why were those girls into him?

Obviously, she and the other Spirits tried their best to keep Shido from messing with other girls, but in the end, it still ended up like this. Of course, it was not Shido's fault, and he didn't want this kind of thing to happen either.

And the rest of the Nakano sisters were also listening intently. As Nino thought, everyone was very curious about Shido.

"That's about it."

Nino sighed softly. She didn't know much about Shido, after all, she had only known him for less than two weeks.

"Imouto-san, can you talk about Shido's life at home?"

Miku asked Kotori with shining eyes.

Yotsuba glanced at Miku, noticing a rather assertive approach from her sister. She wondered if she should tell her about "the Harem Plan" that Miku Izayoi mentioned.

"His life at home?"

Kotori didn't mind, but she was afraid that someone might fall in love with Shido because they learned too much.

Then I shall talk about some embarrassing things about Oni-chan!

Kotori smiled, and then said:

"When Shido is at home, he is very casual, often walking around without wearing anything..."

"He must be very confident!"

"I want to see it someday."

Miku and Yotsuba nodded lightly.

At this time, the other Nakano sisters looked at these two in a weird way. Surely, these two were not thinking rationally at all!

This was bad news, after all, Shido already had a girlfriend(s)...

Kotori naturally realized it too, and it was fortunate that Shido was listening to the conversation. He should know what to do with it.

"Also, he likes to stay in bed, so it's hard to get him up!"

Kotori said softly. This was true, otherwise she wouldn't have to use her "barefoot sister kick" in the morning.

"So that means, when he is asleep, he will be open for..."

"Understood!"

The two sisters nodded again.

The others were speechless. Their minds seemed to have been poisoned!

"Also, he has relationships with many girls..."

Kotori shouted a little agitated. No one likes a man who has many girlfriends... right?

In fact, Kotori once wanted to monopolize Shido, but there was no way for that to happen, so she let that little pipe dream go.

"Many girls?"

The eyes of the Nakano sisters flickered for a while, and then they pondered, not knowing what they were thinking.

It seems...successful?

Kotori looked at the Nakano sisters with uncertainty. The two of them fell silent, maybe they

Understood now!

At this time, the other Nakano sisters also had different thoughts. For Ichika, she believed that Shido was a playboy, and he must have some unknown relationship with Mai Sakurajima.

Moreover, there was also the photo incident. Although the photo she picked up at that time suddenly disappeared, it was definitely not a dream or an illusion. It was indeed a photo of Shido kissing other girls.

And there was the girl with white hair, which added up to three girlfriends already, and now his two younger sisters were added...

It could be said that Ichika was the one to know the least about Shido.

But in the eyes of Nino and Itsuki, they knew this was a lie!

With the character of Shido, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to mess with girls.

Especially for Nino, she once clearly stated that she was willing to go out with him in a joking manner, and he rejected it firmly. You see, how could such a person be a player?

The sisters had different thoughts, and soon they were not in the mood to continue soaking in the hot spring. Therefore, they said goodbye to Kotori and left the hot spring one by one...

After the Nakano sisters left, Shido didn't even look at them, he just wanted to shout "Michael" and teleport himself back to the room.

But this time, without even saying the word, two young girls walked in.

Shido hurriedly ducked behind the huge rockagain, and then cursed a little. This is ridiculous! I really should just transform into Shiori and walk out of the hot spring!

The two girls were both very beautiful with long black hair. From a distance, they look like a pair of sisters with a good relationship, but from a close look, they were a little different.

At least, one had bigger boobs than the other…

This gave Kotori a bit of comfort. Although the flat-chested girl was older than her, at least she could be regarded as her potential friend.

Neither of the two said a word, but looked at Kotori a little curiously.

These two are not Miku's lesbian friends, right?

When Kotori was stressing about it, the two girls looked at each other and nodded.

"Little sister, are you here alone?"

The girl with bigger boobs asked casually.

"What's the matter? 'Big' sister!"

Kotori said word by word. She was starting to get tired of random girls showing up here as well, especially those with huge boobs!

"I see..."

The girl with smaller boobs next to her nodded.

The big-chested one smiled and asked curiously:

"Little sister, are you Itsuka's girlfriend too?"

"Uh..."

Kotori was completely stunned. She couldn't understand why the other party was able to tell that she was Shido's girlfriend just from a simple sentence.

Moreover, the word "too" was also very intriguing. Do these two girls actually know that Shido has many girlfriends?

Kotori couldn't say anything for a while, pondering what Shido had been doing in her absence.

And Shido, who was hiding, had already recognized the two by their voices and conversations: Mai Sakurajima and Yukino Yukinoshita.

This Hakone was really worthy of being a tourist attraction, since everyone came here!

Shido was dying on the inside.

Perhaps, this was a good fanservice situation for many people, but for Shido, this was literally torture.

"Little sister?"

Mai called out a little worriedly.

"Uh..."

Kotori's mind returned to the present. She remembered that the other party seemed to be asking if she was Shido's girlfriend.

"Yes! That's right, I'm Shido's girlfriend!"

Kotori nodded affirmatively, the corners of her mouth rose slightly at this time, and she, who had been regarded as Shido's little sister earlier, was finally recognized as Shido's girlfriend.

In Kotori's view, the identity of the little sister was as important as the identity of the girlfriend. She was both a little sister and a girlfriend!

Although she didn't know why the other party thought so, she still admitted it first.

"Sure enough! Seeing your eyes, you clearly noticed my existence, and you are really someone related to Shido..."

Mai said with a smile.

It turned out that on this day, Mai wanted to leave Chiba and investigate further afield, but this time, Yukino had some spare time, so they came to Hakone together.

Because the relationship between the two was relatively good, and they had been together recently, so even when Mai had this adolescence syndrome, she could still see her.

But it was very unnatural that Kotori could see her. At first, she was still wondering if she had finally found the person she was looking for, but after seeing that Kotori was such a delicate and lovely girl, she suddenly felt a weird premonition.

She didn't know why, but she believed that this kind of lovely girl must have something to do with Shido.

Now, after hearing Kotori's affirmation, she smiled heartily, after all, her instinct was correct.

The two chatted for a while, and Kotori finally knew that the two girls in front of her were Mai and Yukino. They were the girls that other Spirits recorded in their diaries.

And she also learned why her identity was discovered. After all, other people should not be able to see Mai Sakurajima...

Kotori gritted her teeth. Since she was the target that the Spirits claimed to be wary of, she naturally had to be cautious.

"Do you two know Shido?"

Kotori pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"Well, the two of us and Itsuka are quite familiar with each other."

Yukino responded vaguely. Although she had decided not to investigate the matter of Shido anymore, the opportunity was rare. She met one of Shido's girlfriends alone, and naturally hoped to know more about it.

"Oh?"

Kotori seemed to have noticed something, and didn't reveal too many things at first.

"For example, Itsuka once saved a world or something..."

Yukino said in surprise.

"This...is just something that Shido fantasized about, right?"

Kotori smiled and said. She did not panic at all, since she knew clearly that Shido would never tell others about this kind of thing.

In the world of DaL, even though he hadn't directly saved the world, what he had done was not much different.

After all, the Spirits did have the ability to threaten the safety of the world. Since Shido sealed these girls, it could be regarded as indirectly saving the world.

Of course, Shido didn't think he had done such a noble thing, so it was impossible for him to talk nonsense about it.

To sum it up, the other party was testing!

"It's not a fantasy, is it?"

Yukino smiled confidently. Although she didn't have any substantive evidence, Shido was definitely not an ordinary person.

What kind of ordinary person could make clones, transform into other people, and fire light cannons?

Yukino narrowed her eyes, then smiled indifferently, and did not continue to ask questions. She knew that Shido was full of mysteries, and it was estimated that his girlfriends would not tell them easily.

So, she planned to change the subject...

"Right! I forgot to ask for your name?"

Yukino asked curiously. As far as she knew, the names of Shido's girlfriends seemed to be related to numbers, such as Kurumi, Yoshino, Nanami, and the Yamai sisters whom she met before.

Therefore, Yukino believed that the girl in front of her should also have a number in her name.

"Kotori Itsuka."

Kotori said softly.

"Itsuka?"

Yukino murmured. She didn't think they were siblings, after all, they didn't look alike, and their hair color was one red and one blue, so what she thought was that Kotori had officially married into the Itsuka family.

And according to tradition, after a girl got married, she would take her husband's surname. That was the reason she called herself Itsuka.

But looking at Kotori's appearance, she seemed a little too young. A child bride?

"Are you two traveling here?"

Kotori asked Yukino softly. Her attitude toward the flat-chested girl was quite good, since they shared something in common.

At least she's much better than the five sisters from earlier.

"Yes."

Yukino nodded slightly without explaining much.

"You two seem like good friends..."

Kotori sighed.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Indeed, two weeks ago, they would never have imagined that they would make such a close friend.

"Kotori, Itsuka... Shido is here too, right?"

Mai asked curiously.

"He is soaking in the hot spring on the other side!"

Kotori told a little white lie.

"What about the rest of the girlfriends?"

Mai asked again.

She suddenly felt a little weird. Except for the Yamai sisters, it seemed that Shido had never been with more than one girl. When they dated before, they were always one by one.

"They...are busy today!"

Kotori responded casually.

Mai lowered her head and started imagining things. She was a child star, and she was exposed to many strange TV and movies, including many sci-fi works.

Saving the world, the girls are busy today, only one girl at a time…

Could it be that the other girls are saving the world right now?

Because of the shortage of manpower, they could only accompany Shido one by one, and Shido's ability was more critical, and he couldn't easily take action...

Mai had fantasized a lot, but Yukino didn't think so much, but asked with a little concern:

"Don't you mind that he has so many girlfriends?"

"Maybe a little bit, but..."

Kotori let out a light breath, then showed a happy smile and said:

"I know he loves me from the bottom of his heart and won't snub me because of other people, and that's enough for me."

"Amazing..."

Yukino said lightly, not knowing whether she admired Kotori or Shido.

"See you later!"

Yukino stood up, revealing an enviable white skin and a delicate figure, like a fairy in the book.

"Goodbye."

Mai waved her hand as well, not knowing why Yukino wanted to leave so early.

But she knew that there must be a reason for Yukino's decision, and she didn't ask any more questions, so she followed her friend.

"Michael!"

Kotori turned around and saw that her big brother finally activated his angel.

PS: Okay, no more girls coming to the hot spring!
