“A holographic projection…” Yulis murmured.

After the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, Saya mentioned that Souichi had lost his body due to an accident during his research. Mikami Hiroyu witnessed an even more horrific scene, but since the person in question was Saya's father, he didn't know what to say.

Mikami Hiroyu once again longed for the days when he could use magic. If he could, Saya's father's situation wouldn't have been a problem at all. Unfortunately, now he could only use the destructive power of stars.

Yu Shen Haoyu tried more than once to give the Star Power other effects, but unfortunately, no matter how many times Yu Shen Haoyu tried, the Star Power still had its own destructive power.

"Haha, don't make that face, Haoyu. I have indeed lost my physical body, but I don't feel any lack of freedom. In fact, this is the best way to create the Huang-style weapon."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Chuangyi's joke, Yushin Hiroyu responded with a wry smile.

"Chuangyi is right. It's not appropriate to talk here. Anyway, come in. It's not a lavish feast, but I've prepared dinner."

Led by Xiangye, the group arrived at the living room. The room's decor was primarily functional, with few items, unchanged from before. The dining table in the center was laden with dishes.

"I usually only cook enough for myself, it's been a while since I've shown off my skills, I'm so happy. Come on, have a seat."

After being urged by Xiangye to take their seats, Yulis and Qilin introduced themselves again.

"I am Yulis, Alexia, von, Risfeld. Saya... I am very grateful for the kind care you gave my family the other day."

"I never expected a princess from a neighboring country to grace our home with her presence. Although the house is small, please relax."

"H-Hello, I'm Kirin Toudou. I really received a lot of help from Saya-san at the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival..."

"Haha, no need to be so polite. On the contrary, has our Saya caused you any trouble?"

"No, no, that's impossible...!" Kirin shook her head.

"To be honest, I never expected Saya to make it to the finals."

"Hmph, I've always believed that."

"Produce 101 is just spoiling their daughter too much, really."

Xiangye smiled wryly, while simultaneously patting Chuangyi on the shoulder. Despite their age difference, their relationship remained strong.

"In any case, thanks to your advancement, research institutes and companies from all over the country are sending in a lot of orders. It's really great, even though I turned them all down."

Judging from Chuang Yi's tone, he seemed genuinely satisfied.

"Cancel them all...why?"

"As long as the Huang-style weapons I create receive positive feedback, that's enough. Of course, money is necessary to make a living, but I'm not destitute yet."

"I remember Mr. Sasami participated in the research facility in the Milky Way as an assistant in its development, right?"

"Oh, you know so much."

This statement made Souichi's eyes widen in surprise. He had heard that Claudia's mother was a high-ranking official in the galaxy and might have a lot of information about this.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Chuangyi, there's a research lab in this house, isn't there?"

"Hmm, it's a very large room, in the basement. The facilities are much more complete than those in houses in island nations. My main body is also here, and the factory is still operating at this time."

“Dad invested all the compensation money from that accident into it.” Saya shrugged helplessly.

"By the way! Anyway, we still need to adjust Saya's Blazing Armaments later, and this is a rare opportunity to show you just how big it is."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later. Let's eat quickly now, I'll go heat up the soup."

Xiangye spoke, her voice brimming with confidence. Soon after, everyone began their lively meal.

At first, Kirin was very nervous, but she quickly relaxed and chatted enthusiastically about the Phoenix Star Martial Festival and the process of rescuing Flora.

Kaori's cooking focuses on Japanese cuisine, which is quite different from her easygoing personality—in fact, it would be impolite to say that—as her seasonings are very delicate. Whether it's braised butterflyfish or omelet, although simple, every dish is delicious.

The 3714th female protagonist's feelings

"Okay, then I'll take you to your room."

Some time after dinner, Xiangye spoke, then stood up.

"There are two empty guest rooms on the second floor. You can sleep there. Is it okay for two people to share a room?"

"Yes, it's okay."

Claudia answered on behalf of everyone, but Kaoru frowned slightly: "But... how should the rooms be assigned? Saya can still sleep in her own room..."

"Room assignments?"

It was only at this point that I suddenly realized that if the two of them shared a room, and Saya slept in her own room, then Mikami Hiroyu would inevitably have to share a room with one of the other two, Yulis or Yuri.

"I see. Then Haoyu will share a room with me." Claudia was the first to react.

"Huh!?"

"What?! Wait a minute, Claudia! What, what nonsense are you spouting all of a sudden?!"

"Oh dear, is there a problem?"

Eurythmia hurriedly tried to stop her, but Claudia tilted her head in confusion.

"This is very problematic! How can young men and women sleep in the same room..."

"Hehe, don't worry. Because I trust Yu Yu. Right, Hao Yu?"

"Uh, this..."

Seemingly trying to escape Claudia's pointed gaze, Mikami Hiroyu's face broke into a twitching smile.

It was impossible to tell how serious Claudia was.

"Or is it that Yulis doesn't trust Haoyu?"

"Ugh...! That's not true at all! Of course I believe Haoyu, but... but that's a different issue..."

Eurythm stammered.

"I...I also believe in Senior Haoyu!"

At this moment, Kirin, her face flushed, leaned closer.

"Oh dear, so should we let him share a room with Toudou-kun?"

"Huh? This, I..."

Halfway through her sentence, Qilin lowered her head, her body twisting and swaying slightly, while her gaze rose towards Yushin Hiroyu.

"But, if, if Senior Mikami Hiroyu is okay, I..."

"what……?"

"I see. Letting Haoyu choose is indeed the fairest option."

Claudia clapped her hands, and Yulis blushed, while glaring at Mikami Hiroyu.

"This one……"

Yu Shen Haoyu hadn't expected the fire to spread to him, and now he was in trouble no matter which way he chose. Yu Shen Haoyu wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but it seemed he couldn't escape this atmosphere.

Claudia, seemingly wanting things to be chaotic enough, spoke up again: "Oh, by the way, it doesn't matter what you do to me, in fact, you're very welcome."

"No way!"

Seeing Claudia say these words so nonchalantly, Mikami Hiroyu couldn't help but complain.

"...Mom, please stop teasing us."

Saya sighed and looked at Kayo with a reproachful gaze.

"Let Haoyu sleep in my room, that will solve the problem."

"……what."

This statement left everyone stunned for a moment; it was indeed true.

Since there are three rooms, it means that Yu Shenhaoyu has no need to share a room with a girl.

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry, it was an accident."

"Hehe, let's decide on that then. It's a bit of a pity, though."

Xiangye finally couldn't help but laugh, and Claudia smiled and agreed. She couldn't possibly have missed something so simple; she probably intended to play a trick on everyone from the start.

"..."

On the other hand, Yulis and Kirin looked somewhat embarrassed and turned their faces away.

..........

Saya's room was almost empty, containing only a bed, a desk, and a desktop computer; there was hardly anything else worth noting.

The moonlight streaming through the window added to the tranquility of the room.

It was already late at night, and everyone should have been asleep by now, but the door was suddenly opened and someone staggered into the room.

"Why did Saya come here so late? What's wrong?"

Saya did not answer Mikami Hiroyu, but instead staggered slowly towards him.

"Saya...?"

"Uh-huh……"

Seemingly still half asleep, Saya, her eyes almost closed, staggered closer, then collapsed onto the bed. Seeing Saya rustling into the covers, Mikami Hiroyu quickly stopped her.

"Wait, wait a minute, Saya! This won't do!"

Upon closer inspection, Saya's pajamas had completely collapsed, exposing large areas of skin. Mikami Hiroyu could already imagine what the next morning would be like, and he quickly shook Saya, trying to wake her. But Saya remained completely unresponsive.

Since ordinary methods were ineffective, Yu Shenhaoyu had no choice but to resort to unconventional tactics.

Mikami Hiroyu pinched Saya's nose, and Saya, who had been sleeping peacefully and snoring, suddenly changed her expression. She frowned and shook her head in resistance, but Mikami Hiroyu still didn't let go.

"Pfft!"

Soon after, Saya, her face flushed, suddenly sat up.

"You're finally awake..."

"Hmm?"

A question mark appeared above Saya's head as she looked around, both left and right.

But after noticing Yuu Mikami standing to the side, she stared at Yuu Mikami's face for a full ten seconds.

"Haoyu...? What are you doing here... Ah! Are you planning a night raid?"

For some reason, Saya showed a somewhat happy expression and dramatically pulled the blanket over herself.

"What are you thinking about, or are you still asleep?"

"Huh? But this is my room..."

"This is indeed your room, but I'm borrowing it to sleep in tonight!"

"Oh."

Seemingly having finally figured it out, Saya clapped her hands.

"Looks like she got up to use the restroom and then just wandered back to her room." Saya then lowered her head: "Sorry, Hiroyu. Did I wake you?"

"No, I'm not asleep yet anyway."

Saya pondered for a moment, then lowered her head.

"Saya?"

"Haoyu, can we talk for a bit?"

"Hmm, sure, whatever... but why are you suddenly saying that?"

Saya turned to face Mikami Hiroyu, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Actually, I've always... always wanted to apologize to you."

"Apologize...for what?"

Hiroyu Mikami had no clue what Saya was trying to say, so he simply asked her a question in return.

"After I moved, we kept in touch for a while, do you remember?"
