Shiro watched as she returned to her calm expression once again and frowned slightly. If his eyesight had not been so good and if he had not been strong enough, she really would have fooled him. She pretended not to care, but in reality she had been waiting here restlessly.
After watching her enter, Shiro took out his phone, figuring that at this moment it would take her quite a while, considering the preparations for the match and various other complicated matters.
At that moment, Shiro turned into a master of time management. With one step, no one knew that he had already disappeared from his original position.
Shiro appeared behind a black-haired girl, launched a surprise attack, stretched out his mischievous hand and wrapped it around her waist.
"Beauty, are you alone? Want to have some fun with big brother?"
He said it in a playful tone, using a modified voice.
However, the girl did not even flinch, but calmly said:
"Shiro, you can't fool me. The moment your scent appeared behind me, I knew you were there, and I could feel your presence."
Shiro's lips twitched slightly after that, realizing he had been careless and had forgotten about her intuition.
"Ahem, ahem, this makes me feel like I have no sense of achievement."
"Then should I pretend?"
"No, there's no need."
Shiro grabbed her hand at that moment, very skillfully.
"Speaking of which, Shoko, you invited me to the amusement park today, but your clothes aren't really suitable, are they?"
Shiro looked at her blue dress. Although it was beautiful, such a dress in an amusement park was somewhat impractical.
Kirishima Shoko looked at him, tilted her head and asked:
"Is there some problem with that?"
"You'll run into awkward situations! On those exciting rides, your clothes will fly up, right?"
"After all, those skirts are designed to lift easily."
Kirishima Shoko realized her oversight after that; she had only wanted to dress nicely and forgot about it. But after Shiro's words, she tilted her head, with a smile in her eyes.
"Shiro, are you jealous?"
"Nonsense, what kind of person do you think I am? Don't you know that?"
Kirishima Shoko watched him admit it so frankly, and the smile in her eyes grew even wider.
"Then should I go back home and change?"
Shiro shook his head, and then with a wave of his hand, the clothes, more precisely the skirt on her body disappeared and were replaced with short sleeves and shorts.
"Did you forget my ability? What's difficult about changing clothes?"
Kirishima Shoko looked at herself, turned in a circle, then looked at Shiro and, instead of saying how amazing he was, deliberately stood on her toes and whispered in his ear:
"Shiro, it seems you're very familiar with my measurements."
"H—"
Shiro immediately put on an offended expression.
"Wait, I didn't use that, alright? I just saw it."
"We've known each other for years and I've never done anything beyond the boundary. At most there was a kiss. And your birthday wasn't long ago, and I've been busy the whole time."
"As for the rest, what I should touch and what I shouldn't, I truly haven't touched. So how am I a pervert?!"
Shiro protested with his neck raised, as if saying: "You're slandering me! I am a very proper person, alright?"
After all, being able to touch but not eat was difficult, so he simply chose not to touch at all.
Kirishima Shoko watched his confusion and, in a tone as if it had nothing to do with her, said something surprising:
"Then do you want to touch? If you want, I can stay out tonight."
Shiro did not expect her to be so direct, but he knew her bold personality. His eyes lit up, and without thinking he smiled.
"Alright, since you said that, then tonight we'll go to the Tootsuki Grand Hotel for dinner, and then to the cinema. We have time anyway."
This time he did not restrain himself. Since she had already said it, he had no reason to be polite. He was not a fool who would refuse what was offered, and after restraining himself for so long, it was time to relax.
There had been several times before when he was afraid of causing problems, but now she herself had stepped forward.
Kirishima Shoko did not expect him to agree so easily and even plan the evening. At that moment she felt slightly shy, but since the words had already been spoken, she did not retreat, she only nodded quietly.
Inside she felt embarrassed. She only wanted to tease him, as she had many times before, but she forgot her current situation. She was already at the stage where this guy could "eat" her, so her teasing was the same as offering herself to him.
But she didn't mind.
"By the way, which amusement park do you want to go to? I can take you wherever you want."
Kirishima Shoko answered, because she already had a plan, which she had gotten from her classmate friend, Kudo Aiko.
"Tropical Land."
"Let's go there."
"It's in Kyoto."
After those three sentences, Shiro was stunned. Could it really be such a coincidence? If they went there, would they run into the beginning of the plot today?
At that moment, Shiro began to doubt fate. Honestly, he had plans, but he didn't know when the story would begin. And now that she suggested it, and he was here, maybe it would be today.
"Let me ask you something, alright? The high school women's karate tournament, right? It ended this week."
Kirishima Shoko was surprised by that question, then thought about it.
"Yes, it ended this week."
"They say both the champion and the runner-up came from the same high school, I think it was called Teitan High School."
"I remember people from my class talking about it, saying how incredible their karate is, they took first and second place, and even the winners of the previous two years were from there."
Shiro did not expect to learn something now that he had not paid attention to before, and he could not help thinking:
Damn it! Is fate really that strange? Such a coincidence?
Kirishima Shoko noticed his unusual expression.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with that? Or with that place?"
She asked calmly, without worry, because she knew very well what kind of person he was; she had no reason to worry.
Shiro looked at her and suddenly smiled, a smile that suggested he was plotting something.
"Nothing, you chose well."
"By the way, today I'll take you to watch a show."
Kirishima Shoko was even more confused. A show? What kind of show?
"You know my power very well, right? I know that a week after that women's karate tournament a very interesting show will happen there. A guy I really can't stand will have terrible luck. I wanted to go watch it, but I was busy and forgot about it. It's good that you mentioned it."
"It's perfect for us to go there to have fun and watch that guy's life go downhill at the same time."
