( Yuuki's POV )
After our fight Laura needed medical attention, and I couldn't take her to the school infirmary without having to answer some questions so I went to Kuoten, In addition to taking care of Laura, Regina took a look at her personal unit, what attacked me was a kind of last resort function, but that was something that didn't care about the pilot's safety so we removed it from his unit, maybe Regina can turn that flaw into something useful in the future.
When the treatment was over, I took the sleeping Laura in my arms, and I opened a portal to the academy, I didn't think anyone would be walking around the academy at this hour, but when I approached the dorm, another silver-haired girl appeared in front of me, she was Origami.
I had an idea why she was looking for me, but I had to ask anyway.
Yuuki: .. Origami, who brings you here on this beautiful night.
Origami: ...this is about what we were talking about earlier.
Yuuki: That's what I thought, you're going to at least tell me why you want power, this goes beyond academic excellence.
Origami: I need power, to punish those who took my family from me.
Ah, revenge, one of the strongest motivators that exist, Things were more serious now, so I told her I would listen to what she had to say as soon as I put Laura in her room.
When it was just Origami and I, we took a bench outside the dormitory and there she told me that the family she had lost were her parents, who were murdered in their home when Origami was not there.
Yuuki: I'm sorry to hear that, what did the authorities do about it?
Origami: They did their research, both my parents work in an IS manufacturing company as designers, so the first thing they thought was that this was related to the incident.
Yuuki: and it wasn't like that?
Origami: They were not particularly talented or in a high position in the company, they were not a high-value target, and no other members of the company were attacked, that was an isolated incident, the investigation went nowhere, and then they told me they weren't going to investigate further.
Yuuki: That sounds like it was a random crime.
Origami: That's what they said, but I don't believe that, those who took my family are not common criminals, I'm going to find out who they are, and I'm going to make them pay.
Yuuki: I see, then I'll help you.
Origami: You will, do you believe me?
Yuuki: I can definitely see that you're not going to give up on this, and I'm not going to leave you alone.
Besides, I took an interest in her story, my instinct tells me there's something bigger at stake here than it seems.
Yuuki: Leave the research to me, I have many resources at my disposal, and I can give you some really hard training, you will come out of that a different woman.
I quickly stood up from the bench and extended my hand, the usually emotionless girl put on a small smile, and she took my hand, after making our agreement, I was able to call it a night.
We entered the dorms and when I opened the door to my room, I saw my roommate Charlotte looking a little angry, I took longer than expected on my "night walk" and that ate into her time to spend the night with me, but I fixed that by climbing into her bed and holding her in my arms all night, I never fixed the bed when it was broken when I learned Charlotte's identity so we were going to sleep in the same bed anyway.
///////////////////////
The next day, before classes started, I was leaning back in my seat a little while thinking about what happened the other night, and at that moment, the classroom door slid open.
The one who had opened the door was Laura, she walked straight ahead with determination, something similar to what happened on her first day, Ichika reflexively leaned back a little, but Laura walked past him and stood in front of me, I wondered how much she remembers from the other night.
I didn't feel any hostility from her so I stayed relaxed, waiting for her to do or say something, but I wasn't expecting her next words.
Laura: Kurokawa Yuuki! You will be my wife.
' EHHHH! '
As the room filled with surprised screams, Laura placed her hands on the sides of my head and pulled me in for a kiss, I was surprised by that, but I was more worried about the dark auras I could feel around me coming from the girls closest to me.
I don't know where this is coming from, I didn't do anything.
Tsukiumi stood up quickly, cracking her desk a little with her hands, It seemed like a fight was about to break out, but at that moment, Chifuyu Sensei entered the classroom.
Chifuyu: Everyone sit down! Classes are about to start.
Yuuki: Good save, sensei.
I gave Chifuyu a thumbs up, and she just narrowed her eyes at me, and she started the class, There was no conflict after that, and when classes ended, Tsukiumi took Laura to another place.
I was sure she wasn't going to hurt Laura, so I put that aside and went with Origami to the roof of the school, to show her the information that Matsu had gathered, but upon arriving, Cecilia, Charlotte, and Momo burst through the door.
Cecilia: Yuuki~ Can you explain what's going on here?
Yuuki: Well, my sweet Cecilia, I'm happy to do so.
I explained to the girls what had happened to Origami, and they stayed with us to help with the investigation, we sat in a circle, and I threw some police reports in the middle.
Charlotte: Yuuki, how did you get this?
Yuuki: Matsu.
