The chase has started

——Don’t tell me that Origami is worried about Yoshino......?

Shidou observed the two from the side, Origami on the other hand spoke to Yoshino.

“It’ll be dangerous, if you are not careful.”

Emphasizing heavily as she spoke, Origami patted Yoshino’s head with her hat still on.

For some reason, although her words were so gentle, but her tone seemed intimidating as though she was issuing a stern warning. Yoshino, who was being patted on the head by Origami, on the other hand was terrified to the point of speechlessness; her body trembled as though she was a puppy drenched by the rain.

“U-um......”

“Let’s continue walking.”

Just as sweat formed on Shidou’s face as he was at a loss as to what to do, Origami returned to Shidou’s behind, pushing him forward as though urging him to do so.

A while later, just as Shidou was forced to continue walking forward whilst feeling a strong anxiety, someone tapped his shoulder from behind.

“Hm?”

Who could that be. Shidou stopped and turned behind him——

“Uwah!?”

Shidou cried out as he cringed.

In that instant he turned around, his vision was occupied by Origami’s countenance. It seems that she had tapped his shoulder from behind while tiptoeing.

“Gah......”

Origami expressionlessly continued to lean closer. Due to the sudden situation, Shidou’s brain was thrown into disarray; as a result Shidou was unable to extract himself out of his predicament when he could have.

Before Origami’s lips could touch Shidou’s lips——

——his sleeve was violently pulled with a jerk, Shidou’s body was sent reeling backwards.

“Wah......”

After his body violently rocked back and forth, he knelt on the floor on one knee. Hastily glancing at his sleeve, he saw Kotori who was in front of him firmly gripping the sleeve of his shirt.

“Ara, what sort of business do you have with my Onii-chan, Tobiichi-san?”

“............”

Kotori revealed a heroic smile. Although Origami did not have a change in her expressions......But he could somehow sense a vengeful air emanating from behind her.

“Well then, let us move on. You better buck up, Shidou.”

“I got it already......”

After Kotori helped Shidou to his feet while patting the dust away from his knees, the group continued to move forward.

A few minutes later. This time it was Kotori who started to constantly glance at Shidou.

“Kotori? Is something wrong?”

“Eh? About that......yeah, I just remembered that I had something I needed to tell you......”

“Something you needed to tell me......what is it?”

At Shidou’s sentence, Kotori looked around her once before quietly motioning for him to come closer.

“......Can you bring your ear closer?”

Kotori lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were painted with a slight shade of red.

Although he felt suspicious as it was not like Kotori to do so——Shidou quickly understood her intentions at once.
