date a live ^The chase^

The chase has started

“We can’t? shidou ......”

“Uuh......”

Tohka showed an expression of almost being in tears.Shidou was at a loss as to what to do, sweat formed on his face.

“That’s......I, didn’t say, that we can’t......do it......”

“! Really! You’re really willing to kiss me!?”

“U-um......”

Shidou looked around him while having a troubled expression on his face.

Shouting about wanting a kiss or the like in the middle of the street was bound to attract the attention of everyone passing by. Children kept pointing their fingers over in confusion, mothers on the other hand focused on stopping them from doing so. Furthermore, there are a lot of people that he knows in this street. If things were to continue to escalate any further, he would no longer have any face left to come back here, thus he has to avoid that at all costs.

He stll can’t forget that, three major problems still lay in wait.

Kotori who was folding her arms with an expression of boredom, but kept throwing uneasy glances in his direction, Yoshino who kept gazing at him all the while being in a panicked state being unable to calm down——As well as, Origami who was giving off an enormous pressure that seems like she would rip out Tohka’s throat with her teeth immediately if she were to carry out the act on the spot.

Under the different stares of the three, Shidou involuntarily gulped.

“W-why don’t we do it like this? If you will be a good girl for a day, then as a reward......”

“Hm?”

At Shidou’s suggestion, Tohka widened her eyes in excitement.

“Gah......If I become a good girl for today, you will kiss me?”

“Y-yeah. What do you think......?”

“Mm, I understand! I will be a good girl!”

Tohka nodded her head as she exuberantly revealed a bright smile. Shidou could finally reveal a sigh of relief.

Although he still did not solve anything, but at least he had averted the worst case scenario for now. Leaving Kotori and Yoshino aside first, if he were to kiss Tohka in front of Origami, he dared not imagine what would happen next.

In order to investigate Origami’s state, he moved his line of slightly.......inadverdently meeting her eyes.

“A method that one uses to coax young children——it goes to show that she’s not taking this seriously.”

Contrary to what she said, Origami seemed to be using a warning tone to Shidou. On the other hand, Shidou was showing a weak smile with cold sweat pouring down his back.

However......it is true that he currently cannot let himself relax. Since he was still unclear as to why they are hunting him down.

“......Speaking of which, you girls......Why are you people chasing me?”

At Shidou’s words, Kotori’s eyebrow twitched.

“R-really now,......we just wanted to see if we could help you carry the ingredients after we were done watching television. See, you bought quite a lot. Isn’t that right, Yoshino?”

“Eh......?”

Yoshino’s eyes widened due to Kotori suddenly shifting the target of the conversation to her.

“......Isn’t that right?”

“U-um......y-yeah......that’s how it is.”

“............”
