Chapter 55: Stalker?
After the chaotic conversation of the three, Shido could finally take a breather as Kotori reluctantly let him off the hook.
As for Tohka, she had now returned to acting spoiled. Clinging to his arm, she leaned in closer, causing her ample chest to press against him once again.
Shido couldn't do much to stop Tohka's affectionate gestures, so he let her do as she pleased.
However, he soon noticed the growing number of glances from people in the neighborhood. Shido knew that it was because they were too close to each other, especially in public, making the three of them the center of attention.
Even Kotori subtly distanced herself from them, pretending as if she didn't know Shido and Tohka.
Shido could only let out a bitter smile, thinking this was way better than returning to the earlier messy conversation.
The girls looked at Tohka with envy flickering in their eyes, jealous of how she could walk together with such a handsome boyfriend.
Yet, as they took in Tohka's dazzling beauty, one that perfectly matched her partner, they could only sigh in resignation. Meanwhile, the boys were cursing Shido for flirting so early in the morning with such beautiful girls, while they were stuck hanging out with their male friends.
However, Shido ignored the whispers and simply glanced to his right, where Tohka snuggled close to him. her satisfied smile radiating pure happiness. Her satisfied smile radiated pure happiness, and her purple eyes sparkled with joy. With every step she took, her ponytail swayed gently, adding to the carefree charm she exuded.
Yet, when he glanced to his left, he found Kotori walking beside him, her arms crossed over her chest while maintaining a certain distance. She was giving off an unmistakable "stay away from me" vibe, which made Shido smile bitterly.
Her black ribbon swayed back and forth with the pleasant breeze.
