Chapter 86: Arc 2, - 64: Converge
"MEKO!" all she heard before she was trapped under the elf's neck.
Jotou pushed the giant bag down the slope, rolling it down, "Just in time."
Hotaru held her own back, pressing it and stretching, "Yup, almost broke my spine."
"LET ME GO!!!" the brunette flailed as the rainbow tears went into her hair and turned transparent.
"Oh!" Asobi moved back, a slight giggle, "Sorry."
Fumeko looked down to her clothes, rubbing off the soot and ash. A—"Smack!"—went over the back of her head, "With all the crap you gave me," Hotaru made her wince. She side-eyed the redhead, rubbing the back of her head.
Hotaru then embraced her, "I'm so glad you're safe. Why would you do something stupid like that?" Instead of protesting, Fumeko gave a sigh, falling prey to her hug.
Without a word she pulled away. "I was just, not feeling like myself..." Hotaru's lips parted, not evening questioning her further. "What? No surprise hug from you?" the brunette turned to Jotou.
Jotou stared at the inferno, but the gaze Fumeko was replied with... Nose twitching, eyes that rivalled the heat of the fire she was just in, "You're not getting one."
...And Fumeko was perfectly content with that, "Sorry..." Fumeko crossed her arms.
'No point being angry at her. I've been in her place before.' Jotou sighed, "Meko saved some of our stuff in her sack," needing a minute, she stared at the flame once more.
