A few minutes later.
"Hey, Shido…"
Mikoto stared at her curry set, black lines practically hanging over her head as she spoke.
"Mm? What is it, Mikoto?"
Across from her, Shido looked like he wanted to laugh but was desperately holding it in.
"Why does my curry rice have apples in it… and a little flag…"
Mikoto pointed at her lunch as she asked. She did not hate sweet curry, but this was not what they had agreed on!
"Because compared to 'the taste of an adult', this set suits the current Mikoto much better."
Shido smiled wickedly.
"Uu…"
He had deliberately ordered the children's curry set for her. The girl puffed out her cheeks in a huff.
"Shido… you're an… you're bullying …"
In the end, she still picked up the little spoon and began eating one bite at a ti.
"Sorry, sorry."
Shido gave a guilty little laugh. Although teasing Mikoto was not right, seeing the little loli in front of him eating a kid's al sohow made him feel that this small bit of mischief was in line with the will of the great universe.
"Ah… since I'm a child, should I leave all the green peppers for Shido?"
Maybe to make the colors look nicer, this restaurant's curry had sweet green peppers in it along with carrots.
"No picking out food."
Although he knew Mikoto was joking, Shido still deliberately put on a stern face.
"Okaaay."
And so, the girl dragged out the word and ate the curry with green peppers, looking very much like a picky child throwing a little sulk.
Watching Mikoto like that, Shido smiled and began eating his own hamburger set.
"Huh? Mikoto, you still haven't finished?"
By the ti he finished eating, Shido noticed that there was still quite a bit of curry and rice left on Mikoto's plate.
"Could it be… the children's al doesn't suit your taste?"
He asked uneasily. It had only been a small prank, but it would be bad if he had chosen sothing Mikoto did not like.
"Mm, I'm a picky little child, so unless Shido Onii-chan feeds , I won't eat." (TL:auuuuu)
Mikoto smiled mischievously, hopped down from her chair, trotted over to Shido's side, and sat sideways in his lap. (TL:Be careful Shido)
"W-wait, Mikoto… this isn't really…"
Shido had never expected Mikoto to do this, and his face instantly turned red.
"Eeh… but I want Shido Onii-chan to feed !"
The girl deliberately put on an innocent, childlike tone and looked up at Shido as she said it loudly. In an instant, her sweet little voice drew the attention of the custors around them.
"Oh my, what an adorable pair of siblings."
"Uwaa, such a cute little girl."
"You should just feed her. It would be troubleso if a child developed a habit of being picky with food."
After being told that by the people around him, Shido suddenly realized that he no longer seed to have a choice.
"I get it… I get it. Here, ah…"
He picked up the curry, scooping it spoonful by spoonful, and perford the embarrassing pat pat feeding on the little loli in his arms, who was smiling wickedly all the while.

After lunch, to avoid being found by Natsumi, the two of them kept moving around Tengu City while going on their date.
Today, the shopping district was holding a big pre Halloween sale, so there were more than twice as many people as usual. But that also provided excellent cover for Shido and Mikoto. The two blended into the crowd, staying on guard against Natsumi while enjoying this slightly different date.
Because there were so many people, Shido took Mikoto's hand to keep them from getting separated.
"Ehe…"
Feeling the warmth in her hand, Mikoto blushed.
"Ah… sorry! It's because… you know, there are so many people, and I'm afraid we'll get separated… so…"
After noticing Mikoto's expression, Shido hurriedly explained.
"It's all right. Because this is a date."
Mikoto smiled, then said shyly:
"Now that I think about it, I've never really held hands with Shido properly before."
"Ah…"
Hearing Mikoto's words, Shido also realized it. Although he had had many close contact monts with the girl in front of him, they had actually never held hands like this.
"Shido's hand is so big."
"That's because Mikoto beca small."
Looking at Mikoto's slender little hand, Shido felt the softness in his palm and whispered with a red face.
"Hey, Shido…"
"What is it?"
"Even after I return to my original form, when we go on dates from now on… let's hold hands like this."
The girl's face was flushed as she whispered shyly.
"Mm… mm…"
Shido scratched his cheek and gently nodded.
"Hehe. Hey, Shido, look! The Halloween accessories over there are so pretty!"
Mikoto smiled happily and pulled Shido by the hand toward an accessory shop not far away.
_______________
At dusk, the two returned to the shrine with the ingredients.
After dinner, Mikoto found Shido once he had finished washing the dishes.
"Hey, Shido, are you free?"
"Yeah, of course."
Shido nodded. He noticed that Mikoto was wearing a smaller size miko outfit, looking solemn and pure.
"Then please help with sothing."
Mikoto brought Shido to the shrine hall to clean it together. After becoming smaller, there were certain places she could no longer reach and needed Shido's help.
"Does Yakumo-senpai co here every day?"
Shido asked. Because there were no outsiders around, he had switched back to calling her senpai, which made Mikoto feel a little disappointed.
"Mm. Cleaning regularly is a required lesson for a shrine maiden."
"That sounds like a lot of work."
The shrine hall was not large, but coming here every day still sounded rather troubleso.
"It isn't hard. Besides…"
Mikoto looked outside the shrine hall. The sun had already set. She showed a regretful expression, as if she wanted to say sothing but stopped herself.
"Ah, soone's co to pray."
Shido noticed that three people had arrived in front of the shrine hall. Shrines were a little different from temples and were basically open twenty four hours a day. However, neither of them had expected anyone to co at this hour while they were cleaning.
"For now, let's stay quiet for a bit. If they hear sounds coming from inside the shrine hall, it'll scare the visitors."
Mikoto said helplessly.
However, at that mont, a beam of light shone in from outside the shrine hall.
"That's… oh no!"
Shido had seen that light several tis before. It had to an that Natsumi was about to do sothing again!
After the light faded, the shrine hall doors had beco open.
"Shido… what happened? I can't see anything, and my hands… I can't move my hands either."
Mikoto's uneasy voice ca from beside him.
"Yakumo-senpai… uwaa!"
Shido turned his head and saw Mikoto wearing a blindfold, her hands tied tightly with rope. The girl's pure miko outfit had been replaced by a miniskirt outfit that looked like cosplay, boldly exposing her rounded shoulders and the absolute territory between her skirt and legs.
Even worse, the other end of the hemp rope binding the girl's hands was in Shido's grip. And on the absolute territory beneath her skirt, the words "My Loli Miko Only" were written on her left thigh, while on the inner side of her right thigh, the faint outline of the character "正" (TL:tally mark....search google to know what it is) could be seen. (TL: classic Natsumi, classic, it's always the sa every ti~)
[O-oh no!]
Realizing what Natsumi was aiming for, Shido turned his head and saw that the stunned visitors had already taken out their phones. Looking closer, he saw that they were actually his own classmates.
"I-Itsuka Shido, what are you doing here? What's with that little girl?"
"Hello… police?"
"Th...That's gross, die!!"
"N-no… it's not like that! Listen to eeee—!"
Under the night sky, Shido's scream echoed through the shrine grounds.
