date a live ^The chase^

The chase has started

“Really now, if I’d known earlier I would have listened more closely.”

Smiling to himself, he shrugged his shoulders.

Even though he said that, Shidou was not that into horoscopes like Kotori, nor did he believe in this sort of activities. Thus it did not affect him that much, he continued to move through the shopping district.

After walking around the street for approximately fifty minutes or so. Shidou had finished purchasing the ingredients for tonight’s dinner.

The time was going to be five in the evening soon.

He had taken up more time than he had expected. He would be delayed if he did not hurry up and go home to prepare dinner.

What’s left is the stationary that was used up. He better head straight home once they were bought, with that Shidou increased his pace.

——At that moment.

“Hm......?”

Shidou suddenly stopped. A familiar girl was standing in front of him.

A girl with an elegant and thin figure, shoulder-length hair as well as a doll-like face. Looking like a doll, it has the dual meaning of referring to her perfect and elegant looks, at the same time it could be used to describe her lack of expression.

That’s right. Standing right there was Tobiichi Origami—— Shidou’s classmate.

“Eh, Origami? What a coincidence. Are you here to buy something too?”

“That is correct.”

“Is that so. I’m going over there to get stationary, see you next time.”

Shidou waved his hand as he continued moving forward.

After that, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist from behind, Shidou involuntarily stopped.

“That hurts, i-is something wrong?”

At Shidou’s question, Origami grabbed Shidou’s wrist with a strength that one could simply not believe that it came from such thin arms, softly speaking.

“Come over here for a second.”

“Ah?”

Shidou couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the sudden development of events, however Origami did not have any intention of replying. She continued to grab hold of Shidou’s hand, going against the human traffic flow.

“Wah, h-hold on will you? If I don’t get home soon......”

“It’ll be over soon.”

Origami did not care as she pulled Shidou into a deserted alley, pressing Shidou against the wall, placing both her hands next to his head just like she was blocking off Shidou’s escape route.......it just feels that the gender roles have been swapped around.

However Shidou currently did not have the leisure of being able to point out that fact. Origami closed her eyes, slowly bringing her face closer.

“O- Origami......!?”

“All you have to do is just don’t move from there. It’ll be over soon if you are obedient.”

“U-um......that’s......”

Cold sweat kept forming on his face; he let out a high-pitched voice. But Origami did not have the intention of stopping. Slowly, but surely she brought her face closer till the point where even her breath could be felt on his——

“Ah—! Wh-what are you doing here!”

At that moment, he heard a familiar voice, from the direction of the street.
