At this moment, Reine Murasame's beautiful blue eyes showed an unprecedented shock.

Her pupils constricted slightly. She stared intently at me—

'This man...'

'He... How does he know my identity!'

Mio Takamiya.

That was her real name.

Yes, her true identity was the First Spirit.

"Mio Takamiya?" In contrast, Shiori Itsuka, hearing this name, was utterly confused.

Seeing Shiori's suspicion, Reine Murasame quickly suppressed the terror in her heart and changed the subject. "I'm sorry, I don't know the person you're talking about. We should hurry up. The Commander is still waiting for us."

Facing my sudden appearance, Reine was completely ignorant of any information about me. Coupled with Shiori's presence, she could only temporarily abandon her questioning.

Immediately, Reine Murasame turned and led the way.

Seeing this, I decided not to tease this naturally airheaded beauty any further and slowly followed behind her.

However, perhaps due to her absentmindedness or her poor physical condition—

Just like in the anime, with her characteristic clumsiness, Reine Murasame, having taken only two steps, suddenly slipped and stumbled towards the ground.

"Ah~ Miss Reine!" Seeing Reine about to fall, Shiori couldn't help but exclaim.

In that nick of time, I directly reached out and wrapped my arm around Reine's waist.

"Thank you." Although my origins were mysterious, Reine Murasame still expressed her gratitude for my help.

Seeing Reine's still dazed expression, I immediately transferred a surge of pure life energy into her body, helping her eliminate her fatigue.

Releasing my hand from her waist, I commented, exasperated, "Reine, how long has it been since you last rested? You're in terrible shape!"

Hearing my question, the naturally airheaded Reine tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then replied lazily, "Ah~ Let me think... Probably about 30 years!"

"..."

'30 years?!'

'Is this airheaded beauty an idiot?'

Even powerful beings who control the universe need to rest and sleep occasionally! And you, a sickly Spirit, pull all-nighters like that?!

Sigh~

"I've already helped you recuperate. You should rest on time from now on!"

As a connoisseur of beautiful women, although Reine was a bit airheaded, a bit clumsy, and a bit tsundere, this only made me even more infatuated with her.

However, towards my kind reminder, Reine Murasame didn't accept it, still maintaining her usual ways.

"Thank you, but I'm fine with my current schedule."

Looking at the ungrateful, stubborn beauty before me, I raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Shiori with a mischievous grin—

"Shiori, you should also try to persuade Reine. I'm worried this klutz might just collapse from exhaustion."

Shiori was astonished. 'How did this suddenly involve me?'

But she couldn't help but try to persuade her. "Mm~ Miss Reine, I also think you should rest properly. Otherwise, something bad might really happen"

"....."

Reine Murasame was instantly speechless. She hadn't expected me to be so despicable as to exploit her feelings for Shiori.

With a sigh, she finally conceded. "I understand."

I chuckled inwardly.

Meanwhile, at the AST Headquarters—

The commander in chief looked at the information in his hands.

[Human discovered with Spirit-like existence. This individual is suspected of possessing gravity-manipulating abilities and an Angel Astral Dress identical to Princess's.]

[Possesses the strength to single-handedly wipe out an AST squad, but did not attack. Defeated the Spirit "Princess" and seized her weapon.]

[However, system detection reveals no Spirit power emanating from his body

The person in charge stared at my photo on the document for a long time, then slowly said to his subordinate. "Provisionally classify him as a Spirit. As for the rest, we'll observe his actions first."

———

Simultaneously, within DEM Industries—

Westcott, the white-haired man, watched the battle between Princess and me on screen, murmuring to himself.

"A male Spirit?! No... He's Clearly human, yet able to use a Spirit's power!"

"An unexpected variable outside the plan? How interesting... But... no matter who you are, you absolutely cannot stop my plan."

———

On the other side, under Reine Murasame's guidance, the three of us finally arrived at the warship's command and control room.

Reine Murasame stopped before an electronic instrument panel, her voice weak.

"Commander, I've brought him."

The next moment, the mechanical door of the control room slid open, and the three of us walked in.

The busy personnel in the ship's control room also stopped what they were doing at this moment, their gazes uniformly falling on me, who was walking at the very end.

Shock, curiosity, suspicion—all sorts of expressions converged on me.

After all, in their eyes, this man before them, being "HUMAN," could actually use a Spirit's abilities and even defeat Princess.

It was somewhat incredible...

"Welcome to Fraxinus. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. May I ask for your name?" Kotori Itsuka, lollipop in mouth, stared at me suspiciously.

"My name is Hibari Kyoya. Just call me by my name. Or, if you prefer, 'Onii-chan' works too!" I said with a harmless smile, teasing her.

"..." Hearing my words, dark lines appeared on Kotori Itsuka's forehead.

'Onii-chan???'

"You perv! Go to hell!!" Seeing my mischievous grin, Kotori couldn't contain her rage. She jumped up from her seat and launched a flying kick straight at me.

However, just as Kotori's foot was about to connect with my face, her body suddenly froze, hovering motionlessly in mid-air.

"This angle is quite... revealing. White bunny design, huh? Classy!" I looked up and couldn't help but comment.

"!!!!!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at me with strange expressions, their eyes filled with an odd light.

"You... pervert Loli-con! Let me down!!!"

Hearing my words, Kotori Itsuka quickly clamped her legs together, her cheeks flushing red as she yelled.

I wore a mischievous smile, just about to tease this little Loli some more.

Suddenly, Shiori Itsuka beside me spoke up, trying to persuade me.

"Um... Kyoya, please stop teasing my sister."
