Chapter 66: A Normal Life
The class continued after the noon break without much change, though Tohka and Origami had certainly stirred up a lot of commotion during lunch.
Shido couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, feeling utterly drained from constantly getting caught between Tohka and Origami's never ending fight for his attention. Those two were like a dog and a cat, one was warm, excitable, and full of boundless energy, while the other was quiet yet very affectionate in her own way. And yet, the moment they were put in the same space, it was as if an invisible spark ignited between them, leading to a fight.
While Shido couldn't deny that being fought over by two beautiful girls felt good, it was also incredibly exhausting.
No matter what he did, he always seemed to end up in the middle of their arguments, trying to smooth things over before they turned into an attraction to other people. With how things were going, Shido began to wonder whether it was a good idea to put them on the same bed and do them together so that their mouths would only let out moans.
Thinking of that, Shido nodded to himself, deciding that he would try it if those two got into another argument. He had already resolved their hatred for each other and although they still quarrel from time to time, there is no more resentment in their action. Origami and Tohka were just like two children fighting over a toy (Shido).
His gaze shifted to the direction of the two, and saw that Origami was wearing her usual deadpan expression while listening seriously to the class, however, Shido didn't know that Origami was thinking of other things inside her mind. On his left, Shido was completely speechless when he saw that Tohka rested her face on the table while she put a book in front of her as a shield that could block the teacher's view of her face.
Tohka had a very comfortable look, her face relaxed as she slept soundly without a care for the lesson. A small trail of drool escaped the corner of her mouth, making her look unintentionally funny. Yet, Shido had no doubt that she was definitely dreaming about food again, probably a mountain of Kinako bread, given how much she loved eating it.
Even though they had just finished lunch, Tohka's appetite was insatiable. Shido couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. She was as carefree as ever, but in a way, that was a good thing. Considering everything she had been through, seeing her enjoy life so openly was something he was grateful for.
