"Ugh…"
When Shido opened his eyes, what entered his vision was an unfamiliar ceiling.
He looked around in a daze and slowly realized that this was one of Ratatoskr's dical facilities.
"Ah, you're awake?"
A familiar voice ca from beside him. He turned his head and saw Mikoto sitting in a chair by the bed. It seed that while he had been unconscious, the girl had been staying here the whole ti.
"Yakumo-senpai, I… what exactly…"
Shido frowned, trying to rember what had happened.
But in the end, the last clear mory he had was only the physical fitness test. Everything after that felt like trying to rember a dream after waking up. It was as if he could recall sothing, yet also as if he could not rember anything at all.
"Ask Kotori about the details. I'm sure she has a lot she wants to say to Shido."
Mikoto shook her head and did not plan to tell Shido what had happened.
Whether it was the fact that sealing spiritual power could make Shido go berserk and self destruct, or the fact that Kotori had made up her mind to kill him, or the fact that Kotori needed to say sorry to Shido, cry properly, and act spoiled as much as she wanted—Mikoto felt that all of it should be told to Shido by Kotori herself, not by her.
She believed that was also what Kotori herself wished.
"I see. Then I'll go find Kotori…"
Shido tried to get off the bed and go find Kotori to ask about what had happened today.
"!!!"
At that mont, sothing soft pushed him down onto the bed.
"Yakumo-senpai?"
Looking down, Shido saw Mikoto tightly hugging him. The girl had buried her face against his chest, so he could not see her expression clearly.
"Uuu… I'm so glad. I'm so glad Shido is safe!"
Mikoto sobbed softly.
Although she had acted strong the entire ti they were saving Shido, when Shido lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, looking at his sleeping face left Mikoto's heart unable to calm down for a long ti.
What if Shido really disappeared just like that?
Perhaps for the girl, the strength she showed in order to save Shido did not co only from courage. It also ca from a heart that simply could not accept the idea that Shido might suddenly die like that.
Thinking back on it now, it had truly been terrifying. Terrifying enough that, while sitting alone in the chair, she had to hold Shido's hand tightly just to feel at ease, afraid that he might suddenly vanish.
And so, like the rising tide, the fear that had kept piling up after everything was over finally broke the mont Shido woke up safe and sound.
"Yakumo-senpai…"
Looking at the sobbing Mikoto, Shido felt a wave of guilt in his heart. Although he did not really understand what had happened, it seed that he had done sothing that made Mikoto worry this much.
Thinking that, he held her tightly.
"Shido."
Feeling the boy's warmth, Mikoto gently raised her head.
"Are you feeling a little better, senpai?"
Shido held Mikoto's head and asked softly.
"Mm."
The girl nodded obediently. Then, with a careful expression, she asked:
"Shido… I want to kiss Shido." (TL:ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh explode Shido)
She did not want to leave just like this.
She wanted to feel more of Shido's warmth.
She wanted proof that Shido was right there beside her.
"Eh? Mm… okay."
Shido was slightly surprised, then nodded shyly.
There was no way he could refuse when she looked at him like that.
"!!!"
The next instant, the girl's soft lips overlapped with his.
Like sweet, delicious pudding, the happiness was so powerful that Shido's mind went numb for a mont. His hands, wrapped around the girl's waist, unconsciously tightened a little, wrinkling the evening dress she still had not changed out of after conquering him.
The two of them embraced each other like that, unwilling to separate for a long ti.
"Shido, are you awake?"
At that mont, Kotori opened the door. Behind her were the Spirits. Not long ago, the screen connected to the dical equipnt had shown that Shido had regained consciousness, so she had co to visit him with everyone.
"Wait, what are you two doing?!"
As a result, when she opened the door, she saw an incredible scene—the girl and the boy were embracing each other and kissing. (TL: BURN HIMMMMMMMM)
"Ugh!"
Noticing everyone, Mikoto blushed and gently pushed Shido away. However, the girl's moist lips, flushed cheeks, and ssy clothes made it very hard to hide what had just happened.
"Umu! Mikoto, what were you doing with Shido?!"
"Shido-san… is your body… feeling better?"
"Kukuku, not bad at all, Mikoto."
"Pointing out. Kaguya is jealous."
"Ah, Darling and Mikoto-san, please absolutely do that kind of enviable thing with too!"
"You two… ugh, never mind…"
"I really can't let my guard down."
"What exactly are you doing, Nii-sama?!"
"Kya! Itsuka-senpai and Mikoto-senpai are so bold!"
For a mont, the room beca lively.
"Speaking of which, Mikoto… you still haven't told us what happened with your earlier head start, have you?"
Kotori said with a very powerful smile.
Because of the special little secret between the two of them, Ratatoskr rarely monitored Mikoto and Shido's dates.
It seed that, before she realized it, the relationship between those two had already developed into a very serious stage, Kotori thought helplessly.
"Ugh… about that…"
Mikoto slowly shrank behind Shido.
At a ti like this, she should push Shido out and make him deal with it.
"!!!"
Noticing the girl's movent, Shido sharply sensed that Mikoto was about to sell him out again.
"Ah… I think… I'm still a little dizzy!"
So Shido shouted, then fell back onto the bed and closed his eyes.
"Eh? Wait…"
Mikoto, who had not expected Shido to pretend to faint, showed a shocked expression.
However, it was already too late.
"So, you don't plan to say anything, Mikoto onee-chan~?"
Kotori (Sohow white ribbon mode) and the others approached her with "kind smiles."
"Uuu…"
And so, Mikoto was tricked by Shido.
The next day…
On the streets of Tenguu City, the girl was shopping together with Shido.
"Um… sorry, Yakumo-senpai."
Although it was called shopping, it was actually a date Shido had invited Mikoto on after finishing his body check for the day.
"Hmph!"
The girl puffed out her cheeks and lightly stomped her foot on the ground, ignoring Shido.
"Well, there's a shop over there with really good dorayaki. Do you want so?"
Shido tried to coax her. Although pretending to faint had let him escape the battlefield of jealousy, as expected—Mikoto was angry.
"Hmph!"
She still did not plan to answer him.
Still, even though she was angry, the fact that she obediently went on a date with him was cute too, Shido thought.
"Then… what does Yakumo-senpai want to do before she forgives ?"
"Ugh… Then, how about dressing up as Shiori and going on a date with ? I get to choose the clothes."
The girl blinked slyly and smiled playfully.
"Pfft!"
Looking at that very mischievous smile, Shido finally understood one truth—boys could be sold out as much as you wanted, but girls should never be sold out. Even if that girl was transford from a boy.
"Please have rcy on ."
Leaving aside the problem of becoming Shiori, if Mikoto chose the clothes, he felt it would turn into so kind of sha play beyond that.
"Eh? But it's only becoming Shiori. Compared to that, because Shido sold out, I had to agree to so many unfair conditions."
Mikoto said angrily.
For one week, Tohka would decide the nu.
She had to go with Yoshino to buy new clothes for Yoshinon.
She had to help Kotori handle various Ratatoskr docunts.
She had to teach Kaguya the shrine maiden's secret exorcism spell.
She had to go shopping with Yuzuru, and of course, Mikoto had to pay.
She had to go sing karaoke with Miku.
She had to go on a date with Natsumi.
She had to copy her treasured Shiori photos for Origami.
(TL:holy punishnt)
In short, to calm down everyone who had gotten angry, poor Mikoto had paid a heavy price.
"Ahaha… s-sorry."
Hearing Mikoto's words, Shido smiled in both amusent and guilt.
"In any case, Shido has to dress as Shiori. Only then will I forgive Shido."
"Ugh… Right, senpai."
In order not to beco Shiori, Shido tried to change the subject.
"Mm?"
"Back then… in order to make my heart race, what exactly did Yakumo-senpai do?"
He had already learned what happened from Kotori, and he was a little curious about what the girl had done for him.
Sohow, he felt that it would be a pity to forget that mory.
"Right, now that you ntion it, Shido forgot."
Mikoto thought for a mont, then smiled and said:
"Then, if you agree to beco Shiori, I can make Shiori-chan blush one more ti."
"Eh! So I still have to beco Shiori after all?!"
And so, Shido's scream rang out on the streets of Tenguu City.
