" Akihiko-kun is going to die because of me, mom! I shouldn't have jinxed it, I really regret jinxing it!"
" HITORI--"
" I'm going to die without even getting the chance to tell him I like him, Mama!" An especially loud cry escapes her at that.
Michiyo paused. Hold on. She was processing the information slowly, before suddenly chuckling to herself. Now this she didn't expect for her lovely daughter to admit during a false crisis. Bocchi looks up to her mother with a questioning look, wondering if Michiyo had gone crazy after this tragic revelation that they were all going to perish. If the mother had truly gone mad, then Bocchi will go mad with her--
" Goodness, Hitori..." Michiyo sighs, patting her daughter's head. " Nobody's going to die, y'hear? It was just an earthquake, love."
Eh?
" Eh? "
Michiyo pats her head again. " It was just an earthquake." She repeated, " I came here to check up on you because of your hysterical screaming that could be heard from all our neighbours-- but little did I know that it was just because of a misunderstanding..." She sighs.
"...."
Wordlessly, Bocchi departs herself away from Michiyo as quickly as she could. She stands, staring down at her kneeling mother with a horrified expression. The weight of her words from earlier sending her down to the core of the earth within this very moment as Michiyo began to utter.
" But....in any case...."
Suddenly, the older pinkette smiles in a way that made Bocchi shudder in anticipation for what she was going to say next.
" Now that you're not going to ' die '...... so, when are you going to tell Akihiko-kun that you like him, hm~? "
"...."
[ Bocchi was then subjected to relentless teasing by her mother that morning...]
