Hot spring resort…

After a while, two young ladies made their way out of the hot spring. They were draped in towels. They are obviously very pleased with their time in the hot spring judging from their expressions.

"That was so comfortable…"

Tohka wiggled her nose.

"Hot springs are really fun…"

Yos.h.i.+no also nodded as she agreed with her. She also looked quite after taking a bath in there. Although she didn"t express it in words, her eyes are beaming up with joy.

"Oya, where"s s.h.i.+do?"

Yos.h.i.+non waved her rabbit hands, making the two spirits note the absence of s.h.i.+do.

"Ah!"

Tohka gasped.

"That"s right, where"s s.h.i.+do?"

Yos.h.i.+no looked at Tohka with a confused look. She asked the wrong person.

The two of them exchanged a look and Yos.h.i.+non continued.

"Maybe he"s still in the hot spring?"

Yos.h.i.+non suggested while sneering with its rabbit hands covering its rabbit mouth.

"Looks like Tohka doesn"t care about Tohka anymore, Yos.h.i.+non will make sure to tell s.h.i.+do, he"s going to be so sad he won"t care about Tohka in response."

Tohka"s expression went pale, she frantically shook her head.

"No no no! s.h.i.+do will never do that to me!"

"That I am sure but do keep in mind, Tohka…"

Yos.h.i.+non continued grilling Tohka.

"You forgot him first…"

"I have a feeling s.h.i.+do"s not going to take this news well…"

Tohka protested with tears at the corners of her eyes.

"But Yos.h.i.+no also forgot about s.h.i.+do right? That means he won"t care about Yos.h.i.+no as well!"

Yos.h.i.+no panicked when she heard this, her eyes started turning moist. Yos.h.i.+non silently yelled, she didn"t want to freak Yos.h.i.+no out.

"Come on girls, you were all in the same hot spring, why didn"t you girls notice him?"

Tohka tilted her head before she replied with a serious expression.

"I forgot…"

Yos.h.i.+no lowered her head while mewling in a low volume.

"Me too…"

These two spirits are too air-headed.

However, they are so hung up about Wu Yan that they forgot all about Kotori.

Tohka and Yos.h.i.+no are both frightened by the prospect suggested by Yos.h.i.+non.

Tohka put up her hand as she announced her intention.

"I am going to find s.h.i.+do!"

Yos.h.i.+no nodded. She followed Tohka in an attempt to join her search for Wu Yan. Before they entered the hot spring, Wu Yan came out of the bath with a sunny face. It"s like he just came back from an all-you-can-eat buffet. A brief look and one would be able to tell that he"s in a very good mood.

Wu Yan scolded Yos.h.i.+non.

"Yos.h.i.+non, was it fun teasing Yos.h.i.+no and Tohka?"

Yos.h.i.+non giggled.

"Yos.h.i.+no didn"t intend on bullying Yos.h.i.+no, just Tohka…"

Tohka gasped and she realized just right now that she"s being played like a violin. Of course, she got mad.

She yelled at Yos.h.i.+non.

"So you have been bullying me?!"

"Well, you"re gullible…"

Yos.h.i.+non waved her hands at her in a manner that would make people want to beat the puppet.

"Please don"t fight…"

Yos.h.i.+no pulled the hand hosting Yos.h.i.+non back a bit. Her calming voice made Tohka less riled up.

Wu Yan shook his head while bitterly smiling. They shouldn"t have played along with the puppet if they wanted to find Wu Yan they should have just gone into the bath.

Bam

A foot hit Wu Yan"s waist, this ambush caused Wu Yan to fly away like a sack of potatoes.

"Bwuh!"

Wu Yan spat out a mouthful of saliva from this sudden kick to his waist.

He fell in a beautiful parabola, his feet twitched a few times before he went limp.

"s.h.i.+do(-niisan)!"

Tohka and Yos.h.i.+no cried out. They can"t believe the ident.i.ty of the aggressor.

"Kotori! Why did you kick s.h.i.+do?!"

Tohka questioned Kotori, Yos.h.i.+no also looked uneasy. Kotori"s behaving out of character.

Her red eyes are beaming with malevolence. She looked very angry and mad as her body trembled. This isn"t even half the wrath she wanted to unleash because she looked like she"s still holding some back. But, she also looked flushed and pa.s.sionate at the same time, just what is going on?

Wu Yan struggled to get up. He took a look at her ribbons and sure enough, she wore black ribbons. He fell into despair.

She is in her commander mode.

Kotori narrowed her red eyes at him. She didn"t care that she"s barely covered by her towel. She stomped her way over to Wu Yan. Even Tohka and Yos.h.i.+no are frightened by her behavior, the two of them hugged each other while trembling.

Wu Yan flailed his arms around while awkwardly smiling. He made sure to move his b.u.t.t as far as he can from Kotori.

Kotori stood in front of Wu Yan and she looked down upon him with stern eyes. She didn"t care that Wu Yan can see her goods from this angle, she continued in a low tone.

"Speak, how do you wish to die?…"

Wu Yan laughed in a cheeky manner.

"Must we resort to death by execution though?"

"So you don"t have the resolve to choose your own death…"

Kotori continued.

"Let me choose for you then!"

"Kotori!"

Wu Yan shrieked.

"Please listen to my last words!"

"Oh?"

Kotori gave him the chance to speak his mind.

"Speak up, this will be the last chance for you to speak so use this chance well."

Oh f.u.c.k oh c.r.a.p oh s.h.i.+t

Looking at Kotori who is on the verge of turning into a berserker. Wu Yan scrambled his brains trying to look for a way out. The cruel reality, however, is that he didn"t know how to get out of this one.

"You"re testing my patience."

Kotori gnashed her teeth, she lifted her leg.

"If that is the case, let me put an end to your miserable existence!"

Wu Yan grabbed her hands before she can stomp him.

Kotori yelled out loud in surprise.

"Let me go!"

Let you go, not even if my life depends on it…

He hugged her and Kotori froze up.

She blushed hard as she worked hard to push Wu Yan away. She panted as if pus.h.i.+ng Wu Yan away took up all her energy. She wavered before letting him go.

She snorted.

"You got off easy this time!"

Kotori grabbed her clothes and she went into the fitting room much to the other three"s relief. They looked at each other.

The moment Kotori entered the fitting room Kotori slumped down on the floor. She is still flus.h.i.+ng red but her menacing glare had turned into a mellow look. Her skin is also tinged in a fluffy pink shade.

Kotori is still embarra.s.sed about what they did in the hot spring.

"Baka…"
