Sitting on the couch together, Ichika introduces Momo to them. He explained why she was forced into engagement with him and also the reason that she has live with him for her safety.
"I see, you're being targeted by those kidnappers." the invisible Toru understand now her situation.
"Yeah, just before we came here, we got ambush in the middle of the road." Momo nodded at her when she felt bad about her own situation.
"Since, you're with Ichika, they got beaten and sent to the jail, right? We're talking about Ichika here... The pink-haired demon." La Brava was grinning at Ichika.
"Shut it, Hecker! Here! I brought home some meat from that Japanese Restaurant. Eat it with everyone."
"Yay!" La Brava looks delightful, seeing the box of meat.
"Why is everyone not listening to me?! It's true that I'm a goddess!" The little girl complained.
"Little Bel, they just messed your head. I'll fix them later." Ichika patted her head with a smile.
"I'm not lying!"
She pushed forward until Ichika let her hug him. She became satisfied as she rubs her cheek on his body. She looks like a little sister with brother complex problem which everyone didn't mind because she was a robot in their eyes.
"Roboco, from now on, Momo will be living with us. Can you prepare her room?"
*Don't worry, Father. I already prepared one in advance. You should go and take a bath now. You have to rest early today because you will travel with your basketball team tomorrow in Akita Prefecture.*
Ichika felt really tired when Roboco reminded him of his schedule.
"Oh, yeah... Thank you for reminding. I guess I leave the introduction to you. Everyone! Please get along with Momo."
Ichika stood up then he left the room while the little girl is holding on his waist. It looks very inappropriate because she's wearing nothing but apron.
"Ichika! Ichika! It's me! Don't you recognize me? It's me, the goddess of beauty, love and fertility! I'm the goddess Venus!"
No one was paying attention to her.
"I'm gonna debug your head!"
"Waaaahh! Even though I'm a goddess! I'm a goddess! How can you treat me like this!"
The little girl cried loudly as Ichika close the door to end the noise in the room.
*Thud!*
Seeing Ichika left the room, Momo sighed in relief then she shows a warm smile to everyone in the room.
"I thought it would be just the two of us alone living together but I'm really glad that there's everyone else here. I'm really nervous."
"Hello, Yaoyorozu-san! My name is Hagakure Toru. Toru is fine. Ichika is my childhood friend and my house was burned so I'm ended up living with him."
"Toru, just Momo is fine."
Toru and Momo immediately become friendly with each other.
"You know, Toru... she's technically Ichika's Fianceé. It means she's your rival."
"Ack!" Toru froze was shock when La Brava reminded her that.
"Don't worry, Toru. Ichika and I are actually just friends. We're planning to cancel the engagement in the future." Momo explained.
"I see! Hehehe..." Toru was happy.
La Brava smiled at them and introduced herself.
"My name is Aiba Manami. I'm working here as Assistant Inventor and a programmer. If you have any problem, you can ask me too. I also live here because our work are mostly done by overnight."
"Hecker?"
"Please don't call me by that name!!" La Brava became furious.
Things became awkward between Momo and her.
"Sorry..."
"Don't worry, my anger is directed to that guy upstairs. Just call me Manami or La Brava."
"Okay, Manami..."
La Brava suddenly hugged Roboco,
"And this is our mascot robot 'Roboco' and she's my bestie!"
*Hello, Momo-chan. My name is Roboco. I do most of chores here when Father is outside. Since you came from a rich house, I'll be attending you as maid from now on.*
Momo can't believe that Roboco was Android robot. She acts more human-like than a robot.
After that, they had a welcoming party just for her.

When morning arrives, Ichika was already in his tracksuit, packing the things he needs in his large bag.
"Okay, I'm done!"
He immediately rushed outside his room when Roboco was standing there holding a plate with toasted bread and Sunnyside up egg.
"Thanks, Roboco!"
Ichika quickly ate his breakfast and then he ran to the elevator.
"Be careful, Father."
Roboco waved her hand.
Arriving at school, the basketball team was already entering the school bus.
"Captain!"
The basketball team Captain with short black hair and brown eyes became mad and yelled at Ichika for arriving late.
"You're late!"
Despite the Captain being 3rd year in middle school, Ichika is tall as him when they closer.
Ichika scratched the back while grinning at their captain.
"Sorry, I overslept. A lot of things happened yesterday."
"Hurry up, the bus is leaving! We're just waiting for you! You really haven't change since we're elementary."
"Hahaha! Yeah, it's been a while."
The Captain pointed as he checked the attendance.
"Let's go."
"Yes, Captain!"
As Ichika entered the bus with the captain, some members of his team are his teammates when he is still in elementary. They all followed him in middle school.
"Haha! You're late again, Ichika?"
"It must be a girl! Hahaha!"
"We have to tell Toru about this!"
Ichika got angry and retorted,
"Shut up! You guys already know how busy I am!"
"Busy with girls!"
"Hahahahaha!"
All of them are laughing but there are some second year and third year at the back are not happy seeing him. They are like some bunch of delinquent in the streets.
"Three time MVP in elementary? They are just a bunch of kids who doesn't even know how dribble a ball." A tall guy with blonde hair spoke with mocking tone while chewing a gum.
Beside him was a guy with huge body. His hair is also blonde with a tanned skin.
"That first year is going to be the new ace? He looks fragile."
The Captain whispered to Ichika
"Don't mind them. They are just envious of you. I can say that they're good but as teammates, they ruin the team chemistry. That's why, we didn't have any team success this past two years."
"I see... Why didn't you just expel them from the team?"
"That's easier than done. They are more talented than me at the game so the Coach can't let that happen."
Ichika sighs as they sat at the vacant seat together at the back,
"Well, forget about it. Just good luck to this team."
"Easygoing as ever."
"Well, I haven't decided to join the team yet. The principal just begged me to join when he learned about me."
"Come on, Ichika!"
The Captain was shock.
