Chapter 75: Kiss
"Before we leave, there's something we must do first." Shido said, lowering himself onto one knee so he could meet Yoshino's height.
"Something we must do first?" Yoshino tilted her head, confusion evident in her innocent blue eyes.
She wasn't sure what Shido meant, but she trusted him. No matter what, she knew he wouldn't do anything to harm her.
"I'm curious too, Shido-kun~" Yoshinon chimed in, bouncing slightly in Yoshino's hand. "Are you about to do something bold? Are you perhaps going to propose to Yoshino for real this time?"
"Y-Yoshinon!" Yoshino, who had just calmed down, turned red again, flustered by Yoshinon's words. She quickly looked away, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Shido let out a small sigh, shaking his head before turning his attention back to Yoshino. His expression was warm yet serious.
"Yoshino... I have to seal your power." he said gently.
Yoshino blinked, her expression shifting from confusion to mild surprise. "Seal... my power?"
Shido nodded. "Yes. If I do, you won't have to worry about accidentally hurting anyone, and you won't be hunted by AST. You'll be able to live peacefully."
Yoshino lowered her gaze, her fingers tightening around Yoshinon. She understood Shido's intentions, he wanted her to be free from the struggle that she had been enduring.
However, a different kind of worry settled in her heart. If her Reiryoku was sealed... then would Yoshinon disappear?
