An hour later, her stamina is already depleted but she still stand up and was about to attack him, but this time, he didn't avoid her and just block it since her eyes are dead like a fish.

She doesn't know why she is still attacking him so after that attack, she was about to sit down but Shido suddenly hugs her.

Earlier, whenever she attack him, Shido will avoid minor attacks but when she will use a major attack, he will break it but wouldn't attack her.

This became the cycle of the battle until she doesn't know why she is attacking him.

He broke all of her strong attacks and avoid her small attacks.

She doesn't know what to do.

Why is she fighting again? 

This thought always comes to her mind right now.

She doesn't want to think anymore and just wants to feel the pleasant feelings that she felt from Shido's hug until she lost consciousness and sleeps deeply.

Shido smirks as he pats the head of sleeping, Ellen.

Even though he truly buried this desire but controlling someone within his palm is very satisfying.

However, it is more satisfying because he didn't even use his mind-hacking ability.

Tohka, Yoshino, Kurumi, and now, Ellen.

He controls them without any use of his mind-hacking powers and it ends well, for now.

He doesn't know what will happen in the future but at this moment, he is enjoying this feeling.

…

Back at the hotel, the Yamai sisters are currently clinging to both of his arms while Tama-chan sensei is looking at them, shockingly.

Earlier.

While Ellen is in his arms, he deactivates her CR-Unit <Pendragon>, and her clothes go back to a normal business suit.

"Just take a rest. You don't need to be too serious next time, okay?"

He gently tells her who is currently half awake then he teleports her to her room in the hotel.

"What a manipulative man."

Kurumi's voice can be heard from behind.

It seems that she is watching him.

"When did I become like that?"

Hearing his response, Kurumi couldn't help but think how shamelessly he is.

After this exchange, Kurumi was about to say goodbye but Shido suddenly asked if she can help him with something.

Currently, Fraxinus is being attacked by another airship that is owned by the DEM.

This airship is supposed to be the one that would pick up Ellen after she takes Tohka with her.

Unfortunately, the Fraxinus crossed paths with them.

Kotori leaks what's happening to them when Shido unblocks the signal.

Shido said to Kurumi, "I'm gonna help you after this school trip so can you help my little sister?" while patting her head.

Kurumi just received his head pat but her tone of saying, "Can you stop this?" feels that she wanted this to continue.

Waking up from the entrance, she immediately flies away with a blush on her face.

She couldn't believe how relaxed she is and didn't put any guard around him.

"Also, why did I agree without any hesitation?"

She is confused right now but she could feel like there's butterflies in her stomach.

Since she doesn't know what she feels, she decides to not mind it as she flies away to the Fraxinus location.
