Slowly descending to the ground, Katsu released his power transforming back into his normal self.
When he opened his eyes again, Katsu immediately turned his gaze to the side where Natsumi was curled up and trying to sneak away.
Katsu rolled his eyes and grabbed her by the scruff of the neck: "Where do you want to go?"
"Wow!" Natsumi, who was suddenly caught, screamed in panic, then turned back and smiled at Katsu: "Well... the crisis has been resolved..."
"So you are planning to run away?" Katsu showed a malicious smile on his face.
"Well---I...I was wrong...I'm sorry..." Natsumi lowered his head.
"..." Katsu, who had been thinking of teaching her a lesson, felt a little bit reluctant when he saw Natsumi hanging her head with a pitiful look on her face. After all, Natsumi accounted for at least half of the credit for getting through this difficult time - it's not impossible to even say that she saved him.
Although he had originally sent down Flaxinus in order to find the opponent, under the circumstances at that time, even if he didn't come down, he would definitely come down to forcibly block those satellites .So, rounding it off, in the end, it was Natsumi who saved him.
Finally, looking at Natsumi who closed his eyes and seemed ready to be beaten by him, Katsu couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it... I'll let you go this time..."
"Eh?" Before Katsu finished speaking, Natsumi opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
"But----" Katsu glanced at Natsumi and stretched out his voice.
The surprise on Natsumi's face suddenly faded away, and was replaced by an expression of "I'll let you beat and scold me as you please" again.
Katsu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and glanced at the system panel next to him, which showed [Witch: 10 hearts]. Then, he let go of the hand that was holding the back of Natsumi's neck, squatted down slightly, and cupped the other's cheek.
Feeling her cheek being lifted up, Natsumi opened her eyes subconsciously, and then...she saw Katsu's handsome face right in front of her - and it was getting closer and closer: "Ehhhhhhhhhhh!???????"
"Don't move!" Katsu narrowed his eyes and whispered an order to Natsumi. Natsumi, who was still struggling, suddenly didn't dare to move.
Then ---
"Hmm..." The feeling of lips touching exploded directly in Natsumi's mind. However, before she could carefully feel this unprecedented feeling, she suddenly felt a chill on her body.
At this time, Katsu had already let go of Natsumi's lips, and then he took off his windbreaker with skillful movements, and put it on Natsumi, whose spiritual outfit was gradually disappearing.
"Huh?!" Feeling that her spiritual outfit had disappeared, Natsumi hurriedly tightened the windbreaker that Katsu had put on her. Her face flushed and she looked at Katsu with tears in her eyes.
"Well---although I let you go this time, as a punishment for you transforming into my appearance to hook up with girls before, I will seal your spiritual power---" Katsu said to Natsumi with a smile on his face.
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Natsumi immediately lowered his head: "But... without spiritual power... I have nowhere to go..."
"You don't have to worry about this. From now on, you will live with me, just like everyone else you captured before. So don't run away this time even god I can't stop me from keeping you." Katsu waved his hand and said indifferently.
However, upon hearing this, Natsumi suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and looked at Katsu with an expression of disbelief: "And... the same as them?"
"What? Don't want to? Well... let me think about it..."
"No...no! I...I do!" Natsumi immediately interrupted Katsu and said anxiously.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden wind pressure from above his head again - Katsu frowned, raised his head slightly, and saw a rocket-like object flying towards him at high speed.
"Tsk, you still don't give up..." Katsu said lightly, and a cannon started to take shape in his hand. However, before Katsu released it, a blazing light suddenly penetrated causing them to explode directly in the air.
Katsu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking towards the location where the light was emitted, his pupils slightly dilated---
" Origami... Tobiichi?" Katsu murmured the other party's name.
She had helped him several times, especially during the Festival in September. If she had not helped him stop the people from DEM and AST, who knows how serious the consequences would have been---
However, looking at the manifestation device the other party was wearing, it seemed to have been equipped with DEM.
Suddenly, Katsu couldn't help but want to fly up to her and ask her what was going on: " Origami Tobiichi..."
However, before Katsu could even call out the other party's name, she turned around and activated the thrusters of the manifestation device, and flew away at an extremely fast speed---
"… …"Katsu's face became uncertain.
Natsumi tugged at Katsu's clothes: "That..."
Katsu lowered his head and looked at Natsumi's distressed expression, then shrugged and said, "Just call me Katsu."
"Um--Kat...Katsu, what was that just now?"
"It's... my friend."
"Oh, as expected, a handsome guy like you has friends everywhere... a disgusting person like me doesn't have any..."
"Bang!!"
"It hurts so much---!" Natsumi covered his painful head and looked at Katsu with a wronged expression.
"I told you not to slander yourself anymore - and, haven't we been friends since?" Katsu looked at Natsumi and said helplessly.
"Well... you--you don't blame me for lying to you?"
"What are you lying to me about?"
"Natsumi... something..."
"... Oh~~ So you still lied to me, so as a punishment, you have to help me deal with the dates with the girls you promised to date by turning into me this weekend."
"Eh????"
… …
Fifteen thousand meters above the ground.
Looking at the retreating DEM airship on the screen, and Katsu and Natsumi standing on the top of a tall building in another picture, Kotori breathed a sigh of relief and then collapsed in the command chair.
"Kotori... let me down, I want to go to my brother!" Yoshinon said with Yoshino's red eyes staring at Katsu in the picture.
"…I'm sorry, Yoshino, the transmission device was damaged by the enemy's aerial ship just now. It may need to be repaired…" Kotori leaned her head on the back of the chair, breathing heavily, and replied weakly with her eyes closed.
"… …" After hearing what Kotori said, the group of spirits who were originally eager to try all stopped.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Come to think of it, that was Natsumi, right? Why...?"
"Stupid! Isn't it obvious now? Natsumi is the [Witch]!"
"Huh?! Is that so?"
"Yeah - this time it was a close call. When the satellite was about to fall to the ground, my heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, my Katsu is very powerful..."
"What do you mean by you?! Katsu belongs to us - there is no doubt about that!"
"I support you. Kaguya is right."
"Well... that, Katsu brother... is also... mine..."
"Yoshino, please speak louder, or they will take Katsu away~"
"Eh? Why is this happening..."
… …
On the rooftop of a building, Katsu sat on the edge with his legs hanging in the air. He looked up at the sky from time to time and asked in surprise, "Why don't they come down?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Natsumi, who was sitting next to Katsu and was a little afraid of heights because of looking down, hugged Katsu's arm tightly, and was a little confused about what Katsu was saying.
"Hmm---" Katsu rubbed his eyes, then lowered his head and sighed: "I mean everyone on Fraxisnas, normally, they should have teleported down by now..." As he spoke, Katsu pulled out his arm that was being hugged by Natsumi.
"Wow---" This action frightened Natsumi so much that she screamed in fear and quickly hugged Katsu's waist - she was afraid that she would fall off the edge of the building.
Katsu shook his head in amusement, stretched out his hand to hold Natsumi's slender waist, groped the other side, and said with a smile: "You could fly before, right? Why are you still afraid of heights?"
Feeling Katsu's hand rubbing her waist, Natsumi's face turned red, but she still suppressed her shame and replied: "You can fly only when you have spiritual power. Now the spiritual power is in with you - I will die if I fall..."
"Haha - yeah, I found it -" As he was laughing, Katsu put his hand on Natsumi's waist - into his windbreaker pocket, and took out a cell phone.
Then, with Natsumi's expression of "I see", he picked up the phone and called Kotori, who was in Fraxinus, ten thousand meters above the sky.
In less than a second, the call was connected.
"Brother Katsu..."
"Hoo---Kotori, is everyone okay?"
On the Fraxinus, Kotori glanced at the group of people who were arguing about "Katsu ownership" and felt a little embarrassed: "Ah, everyone is fine..."
"Is that so... Then why haven't you come down yet?"
"Because there is a slight problem with Fraxinus 's transmission device, it will be repaired soon."
"I see. Well... I'll take Natsumi home first... You guys come back early."
"Um… …"
"… …good."
Beep beep beep…
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Katsu smiled bitterly, locked the phone, and then stuffed it back into the pocket of Natsumi's windbreaker.
Then he took a deep breath, chuckled, and then hugged Natsumi. Amid Natsumi's exclamations, he jumped down from the roof with her: "Okay, it's time for us to go home---"
