"Be quiet and follow me... Maybe that's Shu" Houtarou,

"O-ok" Ashley said with low voice,

"Ian hold Shu and don't ever touch the camera.." Houtarou said with low voice,

"Why me!?" Ian said with low voice,

"Ashley's holding my shirt you will not imagine how she will grab me if I run!" Houtarou's whisper to Ian,

"O-Ok... But you will the who will tripped Shu if he ran" Ian said,
