Scene shift—Bokue and Asagi had returned home.
It was getting pretty late. They'd met Natsuki at the Special Security Force headquarters at six in the evening, then Nagisa had called about the body swap, followed by tracking down Tokoyogi Yuuma in Nagisa's body, and so on and so forth.
After all that running around, it was nearly ten at night.
"Haah~ What an exhausting day."
Still changing shoes in the entryway, Asagi couldn't help covering her mouth to yawn—with the same hand she'd just used to remove her shoes.
"I was looking forward to a nice dinner after work, but then all this happened."
"...You say that like you didn't just have a 'nice dinner.'"
Hearing his girlfriend's complaint, Bokue couldn't help his side-eye.
"Well I did eat... but look at everything that happened before that."
Asagi pouted, defending her position.
"Work's tiring enough without being dragged to the Special Security Force headquarters afterward. Now I'm getting sleepy."
"Isn't that perfect though?"
Bokue shrugged.
"It's late anyway. After your bath, you can just go to sleep—"
"What, you're going out again?"
The blonde girl who'd been yawning drowsily a second ago immediately turned alert, eyeing her boyfriend suspiciously.
"Sort of..."
Bokue rubbed his forehead helplessly. 'Yuuma, you really gave me a challenge here.'
"Remember when Natsuki and I both left at the Security Force building?"
"Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?"
The blonde girl looked puzzled.
"Well..."
Bokue nodded, then briefly explained how Nagisa and Tokoyogi Yuuma had swapped bodies, and how Yuuma used the True Ancestor's power to break into the Prison Barrier to rescue her "mother."
Of course, he omitted certain details—like Natsuki being the Prison Barrier's administrator, or Tokoyogi Aya being imprisoned for major crimes.
Basically, it became a modern version of the tale of a child splitting mountains to save their mother.
"S-so Tokoyogi came to Itogami Island to save her... um..."
After hearing the whole story, Asagi was stunned but couldn't find any fault with it.
From an objective standpoint, it was exactly as Bokue described—even if it was only part of the truth.
But even partial truth was still truth.
"Exactly."
Bokue nodded.
"But forcing True Ancestor power through a mortal body might leave side effects. When we parted downtown earlier, Yuuma wanted me to check her over, but she felt awkward asking with you there."
"Huh? Why?"
Asagi blinked in confusion.
"It's just a medical check. Why would she be embarrassed? She could've just asked."
"Of course she'd be embarrassed—asking to meet someone's boyfriend at her hotel late at night, right in front of his girlfriend..."
"Okay, okay, I get it! No need to continue!"
Before Bokue could finish, Asagi raised her hand to stop him.
"It's fine, go ahead. I approve. Just come back early when you're done."
After all, they'd known each other since childhood. And it wasn't like they'd be alone—her mother would be there too.
Nothing could happen with her mother present, right?
The blonde girl thought to herself.
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
So after bathing with Asagi and successfully tucking her into bed, Bokue teleported directly to the hotel suite in central Itogami Island.
The familiar living room.
When Bokue opened his eyes, warm bright light streamed down from the crystal chandelier overhead. The air carried a faint wine aroma.
At a glance, the short-haired girl sat on the living room sofa. Her usual jeans and shirt were gone, replaced by a backless evening gown that balanced sensuality with elegance. The black strapless top accentuated her modest curves, while dark lace stockings hugged her long legs.
"Ah, Bokue, you finally made it."
She looked up at the arriving youth. Wine bottles and glasses sat on the coffee table, the deep red liquid gleaming seductively in the transparent glass under the lights.
"Pfft..."
With absolutely no intention of sparing her feelings, Bokue burst out laughing without thinking.
"W-what's so funny?!"
Breaking character instantly on both sides, Tokoyogi Yuuma's face flushed red seeing him laugh.
She knew she looked completely different from her usual image.
It was like your normally sloppy buddy who always shows up in pajamas and flip-flops for barbecue suddenly getting a girlfriend—not only wearing a sharp suit and slicking back his hair, but even sticking a red rose in his lapel.
Sure, the contrast was stark, but did he have to laugh that hard?
She was still a girl—couldn't he spare her some dignity?
"No... nothing, just a bit surprised... cough anyway..."
Using the cough to hide his smile, Bokue quickly changed topics to divert attention.
"So you called me here to..."
Before he could finish, spatial magic rippled through the air. The short-haired girl who'd been on the sofa suddenly appeared before him.
She straightforwardly took his hands and placed them on her waist, tilting her face up on tiptoes, wine-red eyes flowing with desire as rich as aged wine.
"Idiot Bokue, what else could it be for... Come on, hurry up. Take me."
Perhaps due to shared East Asian cultural sensibilities, Japanese could be quite euphemistic about certain things.
When a Japanese girl said "take me," that "take" could have another meaning entirely.
"Right here?"
Bokue raised an eyebrow, glancing around.
"But what about Miss Tokoyogi Aya..."
"Don't worry, she's already asleep."
Tokoyogi Yuuma pulled him to sit on the sofa while manually releasing restraints and calibrating docking coordinates with a slight smile.
"I put her to sleep before you arrived."
"Is that so."
Though somewhat surprised, Bokue accepted this explanation.
"Sodayo~"
So the moment the short-haired girl settled into position, simultaneously in the suite's bedroom, a certain twelve-layered beauty bound hand and foot on the bed seemed to share the sensation. Her delicate neck arched high as her body went rigid, muffled but intense sounds bursting from her sealed lips.
