And here’s the first full chapter.

Spring

It was around ten days since Koutarou’s apartment had been invaded by the girls. During that time, they had stayed around room 106 and tried to get the right to ownership from Koutarou, and to remove their rivals, the other girls. The relationships between them all were extremely poor.

“Gueh!?”

“Kyaaa!?”

“W-what!?”

“I apologise, Satomi-sama! I had no idea that you would be sleeping in such a place!”

“…So it was you, Ruth-san. My sleeping habits are pretty bad, so don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you for saying that, I’ll take care that it doesn’t happen again.”

But as an exception to that rule, Koutarou and Ruth’s relationship had been good from the start. Because of this, Koutarou wasn’t angry at her for treading on him when she came to room 106 from the Blue Knight.

“You don’t need to worry about treading on an unintelligent Neanderthal like that.”

“What!? Do you want to try saying that again, Tulip!!”

“I’ll say it as many times as I like, it doesn’t matter how many times you tread on a Neanderthal!”

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is that supposed to be a princess’ att.i.tude!?”

“Please wait, both of you! You can’t just fight! Please calm down!”

“Ruth, but he-“

“Your highness!! You can’t really think true loyalty will come from yelling at each other!?”

“Ugh, well…”

“Satomi-sama, please! If we cause trouble in this room, we’ll invoke Shizuka-sama’s wrath again! I’m sure you don’t want that either!”

“T-that’s true…”

“Please, listen to my selfish wish and leave your anger behind.”

“…”

“…”

“I understand, Ruth, I’ll do as you say.”

“Your highness!”

“If you’ve gone so far, there’s nothing else I can do, Ruth-san.”

“Thank you, Satomi-sama.”

“But, I won’t forgive you, Tulip.”

“That’s my line!”

Koutarou and Theia’s relationship not having broken down completely yet was certainly thanks to Ruth. Their relationship was nearly as bad as it could be, just opening their mouth would cause an argument that would soon develop to a fist fight. They were both stubborn people so the conflict would escalate in the blink of an eye. However, because Ruth, who they both had a trusting relationship with was there, they were able to barely avoid a total breakdown between them, she was like a safety device for the two.

“Wait Koutarou, isn’t this unfair!?”

Seeing the resolution between Koutarou and Theia, Sanae was dissatisfied. She was drifting in front of Koutarou with he cheeks puffed out and a pout on her lips.

“If I wake you up, you keep complaining about how I’m too rough and everything, but you don’t complain at all when Ruth steps on you!?”

“In Ruth-san’s case it was a simple accident, wasn’t it?”

“Are you saying you’re dissatisfied with I, the beautiful ghost girl Sanae’s Angel Voice!?”

“Oi, listen to what I’m telling you!”

When Sanae woke Koutarou up, it was generally roughly. Her spiritual powers weren’t precise in the first place and she didn’t pay much attention to how she treated him when waking him.

“It’s rather noisy today.”

Kiriha was cooking in the kitchen, but she separated the dividing curtain and poked her head into the room, looking over the situation with her head tilted in puzzlement.

“It’s got nothing to do with you.”

“I see.”

She’d been treated rather bluntly by Sanae, but she didn’t pay it any mind. She could mostly guess what had gone on in the room from looking over it, the one who understood the antagonism between them all the most was Kiriha, the most adult of all of them.

“Satomi Koutarou, breakfast will be done soon. Could you put your futon away and prepare the table?”

“Sure, I’ll do it now.”

After Kiriha’s appearance, the argument between Koutarou and Sanae naturally died out. That wasn’t necessarily her aim, but she was another factor that kept the situation in room 106 from escalating any further.
