Dinner Time.
The three of them sat at the dining table.
Earlier, in the kitchen, Eriri Sawamura realized that Saki Kawasaki was the maid from before.
So, in reality, the two had already met—Eriri just hadn't recognized her at the time.
She also learned that Saki attended a supplementary class, while Saki found out that Eriri was an artist.
Compared to Yukino Yukinoshita, Saki thought Eriri seemed easier to get along with.
But really, it was all because of Takumi Yuuya.
Without his efforts, Eriri would never have changed.
Eriri asked about the tutoring classes and Saki's family situation.
Saki didn't hide anything.
Upon learning that the Kawasaki family was opening a restaurant, Eriri promised she would definitely try it.
Yuuya didn't interfere with their conversation; he focused on eating his dinner.
After dinner, the two girls cleaned up the kitchen.
Yuuya sat on the sofa, watching them come out. He addressed Saki:
"Saki, can you stay over tonight?"
"I… I can, but—"
Saki glanced at Eriri, who was blushing and pretending not to hear.
"Then it's settled. Go to the bathroom first, and afterwards, we'll watch anime together."
Yuuya had made the decision outright.
"I… I understand," Saki said shyly, heading to her room to grab pajamas before going to the bathroom.
Yuuya stood and walked to Eriri, picking her up in his arms.
"I want you to rest early."
"Takumi-kun…"
"I've taught Yukino some things; I think you should learn too."
"I… I'll study hard," Eriri replied softly.
Yuuya carried her into the bedroom.
Then…

Saki emerged from the bathroom and saw Yuuya on the sofa.
"Where's Sawamura-san? Isn't she going to watch anime?"
"Eriri was too tired; I let her rest first," Yuuya replied, scanning Saki.
Saki realized what he meant, blushed, and shyly came to sit beside him.
Yuuya pulled her into his arms.
"We'll watch one episode, then go to bed," he said.
"Okay," Saki whispered, her cheeks deep red.
The anime started.
Yuuya's hands were, predictably, wandering.
Saki's blush deepened.
When the episode ended, Yuuya carried her to her room.
He didn't turn on the light and gently set her on the bed.
Looking at Saki, he said, "I actually wanted to tease you since this morning."
"Yukino is beautiful, Eriri is cute—both have their own charms," he continued.
"But Saki… you attract me the most. You can do things they can't."
Saki felt his wandering hands but closed her eyes.
Her heart fluttered—partly embarrassed, partly happy.
Yuuya's words were clear, and she knew exactly where her strengths lay.
As the first-place winner, she wouldn't feel jealous.
To her, his words weren't excessive—they were expressions of his affection.
Seeing Saki close her eyes, Yuuya kissed her without hesitation.

7:00 a.m.
Yuuya left Saki's room and returned to his own to change into his school uniform.
After washing up, he arrived at the kitchen doorway.
The two girls were preparing breakfast and lunchboxes.
Saki's cheeks flared as she saw him.
"I just messaged Yukino-san; she prepared your bento today," Saki said.
"That's fine," Yuuya replied, stepping into the kitchen.
Both girls' faces flushed simultaneously.
Yuuya approached from behind, reaching out.
"Breakfast looks good."
The two girls exchanged a glance, silently acknowledging each other.
They both chose to go along with it.
"By the way, the anime we watched last night—I've already forgotten the plot. It's all your fault, Saki," Yuuya teased.
"Eriri is also to blame. I just realized my lower back hurts a bit," Saki said.
"Then the punishment is… you two have to kiss me," Yuuya said with a grin.
"Eriri, you go first."
Eriri turned, shyly pressing her lips to his cheek.
"Saki, your turn."
Saki leaned in and kissed him as well.
Yuuya nodded in satisfaction and left the kitchen.
The two girls remained silent for a few minutes.
"Does he… always act like this?"
"He wasn't like this before. Maybe it's because of our relationship now," Saki whispered.
"Aren't you mad?"
"I'm not. I'm just a little maid."
After breakfast, the three headed out.
At the entrance, they changed into their shoes.
Yuuya finished first.
"New rule starting today: before leaving the house, you must let me kiss you," he declared.
The two girls froze and glanced at each other.
"Saki, you first."
"Eriri, you go first," they said in unison.
Yuuya smiled and turned to Saki, kissing her on the forehead.
Her cheeks flushed bright red.
Then he moved to Eriri and did the same.
Afterwards, he opened the door.
"Let's go."
At School.
Yuuya carried Eriri.
Other students weren't surprised, only murmuring to friends nearby:
"Look, it's Takumi Yuuya."
"Isn't that the heir of Soubu High?"
"And no wonder—apparently Yukino, the so-called 'Ice Princess,' is his girl too."
Yuuya heard them but didn't slow down.
At the bike rack, Eriri asked:
"Takumi-kun, they're talking about you. Aren't you going to say something?"
"They're not spreading rumors. No need to worry," Yuuya replied.
Eriri opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Yuuya entered the classroom and sat at his desk.
He hadn't had time to test his ability yesterday. Today, he could.
Looking out the window, he saw a pigeon flying by.
Consciousness Possession, activate!
The next second, the pigeon plummeted.
Flapping furiously, Yuuya flew upward.
Minutes later, he mastered flight and hovered outside his classroom window.
Seeing himself from the pigeon's perspective felt… strange.
A virtual screen displayed a one-hour countdown.
Yuuya took off.
Flying past Soubu High, he landed on the roof of a nearby car.
Scanning the area, he noticed a salaryman just leaving a convenience store.
