However, Master Alto also said that this kind of situation isn't without a solution.
Since the other party sees you as a child, then… as long as you destroy this kind of notion, the predicament will naturally be resolved.
So, the question comes again.
How can one destroy a person's notion?
The most direct method, of course, is to let him recognize your feminine charm. And also let him understand clearly that you are not some immature child who needs care, but a mentally and physically sound adult who's already prepared to make babies.
'Speaking of which, as a spirit, it seems like I don't have the function to get pregnant?'
'Forget it, these little details are not important.'
'What's important is…'
Kumiko slightly lowered her head and easily saw her own toes.
"Mm…"
'Although very unwilling, my figure might, perhaps, probably, maybe indeed… be a tiny bit on the flat side?'
Even though she'd already been enhanced once, it only changed from a flat plain to a slightly undulating hillock, the difference wasn't very big.
"Sigh…"
'It's hard to survive,' thought the loli with a sigh.
The spirit girl couldn't help but think, 'If I just go at it directly…'
'No, no, not only will I lose the fight, I'll definitely get spanked hard on the butt by Master in the end!'
'As expected, I still need help from others.'
Although Master Alto was like a guiding light on her path forward, they were ultimately separated by a screen, and distant water can't quench a nearby thirst.
So, besides Master, the person Kumiko relied on the most became very obvious.
'Nijika Mama!'
'Hmph hmph, so what if we're both flat-chested? If we loli girls unite our hearts, we'll definitely make Master kneel and drag him off to become our Star Fury power!'
'Absolutely can! Easily can, kouya!'

Kaito didn't know that a mere loli actually dared to scheme such bold thoughts in her mind, plotting to overthrow her superior.
Seeing that it was getting late, he routinely urged Kumiko to rest, then brought the bath-craving catgirl to the guest room, and by the way, satisfied the latter's needs.
'Don't misunderstand, I mean her curiosity.'
He didn't intentionally hide anything from the catgirl. Since Raana had indeed obediently taken her bath, he kept his word and briefly explained the principle of the 'One-Click Dressing' spell.
Of course, whether the catgirl could understand or not was another matter altogether.
———
A silent night passed. The next morning.
Although she verbally acknowledged her granddaughter's taste, the catgirl's grandma still rushed back overnight from out of town to personally pick her up.
Kaito also met this elderly woman named Tsuzuki Shifune. Though she was already up in age with a head of silver hair, her body was still sturdy, her voice full of energy, and her fashion sense wasn't the plain and unnoticeable kind you'd expect from an old lady. On the contrary, she looked quite trendy. All in all, she was a strong-spirited old woman.
Tsuzuki Shifune was initially curious, 'What is so special about the boy my granddaughter has fallen for at first sight? Surely he isn't a refined catnip spirit?'
But such joking thoughts vanished completely the moment she laid eyes on Kaito.
After living for decades, it was her first time seeing such a high-level face.
Back when she was young, Tsuzuki Shifune had been a touring guitarist nationwide, and definitely considered well-traveled, she had met many handsome men. But to be handsome to this degree, as if the very act of standing there embodied the concept of "beauty" itself…
In front of that face, anyone who could resist zoning out for three seconds was a god.
'No wonder my granddaughter, who usually isn't close to outsiders, will throw away her sense of shame and even ask to go home with the guy.'
Even someone like her, an older lady, couldn't help spacing out. For those young girls who haven't seen the world, wouldn't they all get confused just seeing him?
However, after discarding these trivial thoughts, Tsuzuki Shifune sincerely expressed her thanks to Kaito. Even her normally stern expression softened.
She even specially handed him a business card, saying that if he ever needed help with anything, he could contact her anytime. Only then did she leave with the reluctant and constantly looking-back catgirl.
Although Kaito didn't feel like she could help him with anything, this Ms. Tsuzuki… seemed to have considerable influence in Tokyo's Livehouse Association.
Thinking about the many girls around him who were into band activities, and the fact that Nijika's family even ran a Livehouse, he decided to keep the business card. Maybe one day it'd come in handy.

In a blink, it was afternoon, school dismissal time.
Since he'd promised to visit Yumiko's home tomorrow, and it involved meeting the parents, of course he couldn't go empty-handed.
Kaito decided to buy some gifts in advance.
But even gift-buying had its intricacies, knowing the recipient's preferences was crucial.
"Dad doesn't like smoking, only drinks occasionally, and not much. If you have to say, his biggest hobby is probably fishing?"
"Mom doesn't seem to have any particular hobbies… but she really wants me to find a boyfriend soon, so you coming over is the best gift, hehe~"
Leaving school together with Yumiko, they arrived at a nearby shopping street. The blonde girl generously shared all the info she knew.
Actually, Yumiko hadn't intended for Kaito to go to such lengths.
Though her dad had some opinions about her secretly getting a boyfriend without saying anything, he always worried she'd get tricked by some bad guy… her mom was quite happy, even touched to tears like, ("My tsundere daughter can finally get married.")
'So in my mom's eyes, just how hopeless am I…? To the point she's worried I'll never get married?'
No matter what, she's still the queen of the popular clique in class, nicknamed "Flame Princess," a top-tier beautiful girl gorgeous enough to debut. How is she that hopeless?
'Forget it', sneaking a glance at the Kaito beside her, Yumiko suddenly felt a little guilty.
'Maybe… probably… indeed… perhaps…'
'In front of the President, my beautiful girl value didn't hold up so well?'
Aside from being handsome enough to make people scream, he was physically strong enough to make your legs go weak.
Her eyes unintentionally glanced at a love hotel on the street corner. The girl's pretty face turned red.
'N-No more thinking!'
'Ugh… if I keep thinking like this, I might not go home tonight again…'
The kidney suffering was one thing, but since her parents were staying in her apartment these days to wait for the visit tomorrow.
If she really didn't go back tonight, wouldn't that be a confession without words?
