The chase has started

“......!”

Yoshino widened her eyes in significant surprise, however she nodded her head in determination, she continued to speak with her trembling lips.

“U-um, and ...... and I......that’s, ki, ki, ki——”

At that moment. Huge amounts of white steam emnanted from Yoshino’s head.

“Uunya......”

“Y- Yoshino!?”

In order to support Yoshino who was about to fall, he extended his hand out to her.

At that moment, [Yoshinon] who was on Yoshino’s left hand swiftly bit onto Shidou’s wrist, pulling hard on him.

“Wah, w-what are you doing, Yoshinon?”

[Yoshino! Execute Plan B]

[Yoshinon] bit down on Shidou’s wrist as it loudly yelled. Yoshino’s shoulders shook as though woken by its voice, after a moment’s hesitation, she respectfully bowed her head.

“T-then I apologise in advance......”

After that she laid a kiss on Shidou’s fingernails that [Yoshinon] had held down.

“Eh?”

Due to her abnormal behaviour, Shidou couldn’t help but widen his eyes. What was that just now......?

[That’s great! You did it, Yoshino!?]

“Y-yeah......! Is it......fine like this......?”

[Then there’s no problem at all! If it is like this then Yoshino you will definitely become a bride!]

“......!”

At [Yoshinon]’s words, Yoshino’s face turned red once more.

It seems as though she had just realized that Shidou was still by her side, Yoshino swiftly dipped her head.

“That’s right, sorry......I’ll be leaving first......”

Leaving behind a single line, Yoshino hurriedly unlocked the door, running away.

“What in the world was that just now......?”

Shidou who was left alone in the washroom was left standing there staring at his fingernail in a daze.

[I’m digging in!]

20 minutes after Yoshino’s mysterious actions. The dinner table at the Itsuka house was placed full of delicious meals. Roast ginger pork, the hijiki that was stewed yesterday, as well miso soup with clams added.

“Mm! Today’s dinner is delicious as well shidou !”

Tohka showed a wide grin as she heartily chewed with her mouth full of meat.

“Ahaha......Thank you very much. But I think you should wait till you finish eating before talking.”

“Nn! Nn! Yeah!”

Tohka nodded as she drank the miso soup, showing a blissful expression. Shidou, on the other hand, couldn’t help but smile.

“Hm, well, it’s not that bad.”

“It’s very……delicious.”

Kotori and Yoshino did not express themselves as exaggeratedly as Tohka did, but judging from their satisfied looks.......Well, for some reason Yoshino’s cheeks still had a shade of light red, she would also constantly avert her gaze to somewhere else whenever she made eye contact with Shidou.
