The chase has started

Wary of Tohka and Origami, Shidou retreated one inch at a time as he asked the two behind him.

“Hey, hey, what’s the matter with them? It feels like something’s wrong here...”

In mid-speech, Shidou stopped moving.

The reason for that was simple. Kotori as well as the obedient Yoshino behind him were gazing at Shidou.

“......Yoshino. Let’s form a temporary alliance.”

“Eh......? Ah, o-okay......!”

“Move to his front. You have to capture Shidou before Tobiichi Origami makes her move!”

“A-alright......”

“Wha......!?”

Shidou couldn’t help but widen his eyes. But that was to be expected. Since Kotori and Yoshino too were slowly edging closer like beasts.

“H-hold on! What is going on here!”

“You don’t need to know. You just have to let us catch you that’s all.”

“You have to give me a reason at least——”

“Haa!”

Kotori completely ignored Shidou’s words as she lunged directly for him with a bear hug. Shidou barely evaded her assault with a hair’s breadth.

Normally speaking, they can’t do anything to Shidou with their body size. However for some reason he could instinctively detect a sense of terror, hence Shidou ran into a small gap between two buildings.

“Ah, shidou!”

“Tch......We’re going after him, Tohka, Yoshino!”

After Shidou’s successful escape, such cries could be heard from behind him.

——And so, the series of events led right up till here.

Even though he recalled the whole incident, he still could not comprehend the reason for their pursuit. Shidou on the other hand was being pressed down onto the ground by Tohka, he turned his confused thoughts into that of a groan.

“Wait, wait a second! Why do you suddenly want to kiss......!”

“Hm? That’s because ——”

“Wa——!”

Just as Tohka was about to reply, Kotori ran up from behind screaming. At the same time, Origami sneaked up from nowhere and dragged Tohka off Shidou’s body by the face, Yoshino on the other hand pulled Shidou’s hand and helped him to his feet.

It was done so perfectly as though they had practiced it before arriving.

“Puhaaa, w-what are you trying to do!”

After Tohka shook Origami’s hand off, she used a sharp glare to express her hostility as she locked eyes with her. At this moment, Kotori suddenly interrupted her, whispering to Tohka.

“Hm......? Was that a secret? Why?”

“Why you say......That’s because, that is, if Shidou were to know about it then it would lose it’s effectiveness.”

“I-is that so! That would be horrible.”

Even though it was supposed to be whispering, their voices are loud. After the conversation was over, Tohka turned to face Shidou again.

“Due to some reasons I can’t tell you. But......I hope that we can kiss.”

“Um, having some reason that you can’t tell me, that’s a little unreasonable.”
