Seeing Erina Nakiri, who seemed to have something to say, Hoshino Sora raised his hand and gently stroked her head, speaking softly before she could.
"Mmm."
Closing her eyes and burying her head in Hoshino Sora's chest, a gentle warmth enveloped her, and Erina Nakiri let out a sigh of relief, a comfortable and secure expression on her face.
"Let's go, we'll head back to the room.
Though, your chef's uniform today has a particularly charming allure, and your scent is quite exhilarating."
"Pervert! I'm covered in sweat and sticky, how can that smell good?
Oh, I almost forgot, you like that kind of thing.
You're truly a super invincible pervert!"
After a moment of holding her, Hoshino Sora released his embrace and shifted to a princess carry.
Erina Nakiri, blushing, resisted slightly, but it was futile, so she simply buried her head in his chest.
The others, seeing this, raised no objections.
After witnessing Erina Nakiri's terrifying assessment, they were willing to let Hoshino Sora be hers for the day.
————————
"Just now, I received a notification.
Miss Erina Nakiri has successfully defeated all challengers in the loser's bracket, and therefore she will advance to the main competition.
Is that correct, Special Executive?"
Kneeling before the bamboo screen, looking at the female shadow behind it, An reported truthfully about Erina Nakiri's situation.
"Every single one of them is so useless.
So many people attacking at once, and they couldn't even defeat a little girl?
This competition clearly doesn't even need the God Tongue."
With her head resting on her fist and a folding fan pressed against her mouth, Nagiri Mana's lips curled up unnaturally, unsure if she was happy for Erina or displeased by her arrival.
————————
Meanwhile, at Hoshino Sora's temporary dormitory.
"Are you rewarding me, or are you rewarding yourself?!
~ Not there…"
Feeling the tingling and moist sensation from her feet, Erina Nakiri's voice trembled, her cheeks flushed scarlet.
This guy!
He had been teasing her feet ever since they came in!
These were little feet that had been cooped up in boots all day!
Was it really necessary to be so obsessed?
Pervert, pervert, big pervert!
However, why did a strange sense of comfort well up in her heart when her feet were treated this way, seeing his almost 'yearning' expression?
"Don't you like it too?
At most, this is a mutual reward, and hasn't your body relaxed, too?
You're all soft and pliant, it makes one can't help but have strange thoughts."
As Hoshino Sora spoke, he moved his hand upwards, and then, everything became natural.
Pleasant sounds filled the room.
"Ugh, I'm so envious.
Forget it, I'll let Erina have him today.
She needs to release some pressure too.
But, to monopolize Hoshino-kun, I'm so jealous!"
Next door to Hoshino Sora's room, Alice Nakiri, her face flushed, hugged a pillow in her pajamas, unable to resist complaining to her sister beside her as she listened to the sounds from the other side.
"But why was only Lady Erina subjected to such an assessment?
Did something happen here…?"
Also hugging a pillow, Hisako Arato voiced her confusion, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Why was only Lady Erina given special treatment?
"Looking at Hoshino-kun, he must have known about this for a long time.
However, he didn't say anything, which means this matter won't have a big impact, so Hisako, you can rest assured."
Yumeko Jabami comforted her, saying that although it was a special assessment, the difficulty wasn't high.
At least, Erina Nakiri passed it quite easily, and she looked relaxed.
"No matter what, as long as Hoshino-kun is here, all problems will be resolved."
Looking at the few people discussing, Tadokoro Megumi said with a smile, her words full of confidence in Hoshino Sora, confident that he could solve all difficulties.
"That's true, Hoshino-kun will solve all problems."
After speaking, Hisako Arato also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the power Hoshino Sora possessed, and the power they now possessed, they were no longer ordinary people, but because the change was recent, their way of thinking was still that of ordinary people.
On the other side, in Hoshino Sora's room.
"Hoo…"
Worn out from the ordeal, Erina Nakiri lay directly on him, breathing evenly and soundly asleep.
