date a live ^The chase^

The chase has started

Yoshino seemed to be talking to [Yoshinon].

“......How am I going to carry this out? I might as well use chloroform and make him lose consciousness then I can......No no no, if I did that then wouldn’t I be just the same as that woman. Let’s put this as the final resort then......”

Kotori on the other hand is muttering some dangerous lines to herself.

Looking at them while twisting his neck, Shidou intended to take up the apron draped on the chair......but stopped his hand.

“That’s right, I should......”

Saying that he walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway.

He had suddenly recalled that he had not yet gone to the washroom ever since the girls surrounded him from the start. Shidou thought that it would be wise to relieve himself before making dinner.

Turning the handle of the door, he entered the washroom, and then ——

“Eh?”

Shidou gave out a cry of surprise. That’s because the moment Shidou entered the washroom, Yoshino who was following behind him ran in as well.

“Y-Yoshino?”

Shidou cried out in a panic due to the unforeseen event, after that his eyebrow twitched.

“Don’t tell me Yoshino is feeling urgent? I’m sorry, then I’ll just go out first——”

Just as Shidou wanted to slip past Yoshino and head for the exit, [Yoshinon] on Yoshino’s left hand swiftly latched the door after slamming it shut.

“Eh......? W-why are you doing this......?”

[You see, Yoshino. If you don’t grab this chance then you’ll never get to do this again —?]

[Yoshinon] said as it kept fanning the flames. Due to the embarrassment, Yoshino's cheeks slowly turned red but she seemed to have made a decision as she pursed her lips, raising her head.

“Sorry. But......if I don’t do this......then we can’t be alone together......that’s why Yoshinon......”

“Being alone together......? What is going on?”

“Ah, that’s......”

Yoshino blushed so hard till the point one might that steam would be gushing out. Looking at her abnormal behaviour, Shidou couldn’t help but feel uneasy as well.

......Although Shidou knows that Yoshino did not have any ulterior motives, but Shidou was still a healthy male. If a cute girl like Yoshino were to be alone with him in such a small room, he can’t help but feel his heart race.

Shidou does not know if Yoshino knows about his mental state at present, Yoshino who seemed several times more distraught than Shidou came to a decision as she continued speaking.

“Um......Shidou-san”

“Oo. Ooooh. What is it?”

“Um, asking of you to do such a thing......may seem weird......however, but......if you are alright with it......that is, if you are not willing and say no then I’m also alright with it as well......”

“How can that be?”

If the timid and slightly introverted Yoshino is already trying to this extent, it must be something really important. Shidou looked at Yoshino in the eyes and nodded his head.

“Since Yoshino had the courage to ask something from me, if it is something within my capabilities, I’ll do it for you. Why don’t you try asking?”
