TIME!!!

In a clothes store somewhere, 2 girls or rather a guy and a girl is in the changing room.

"Hehehe~ Kage-kun could this be cute too huh?"

"S-stop with t-this p-punishment." I said.

"No~ This is your punishment for 'that~"

Jesus chirst, if someone sees me in this outift, I am dead socially. So, how did I end up like this? Let's go back at the time when I can go to school after that incident.

I woke up in a familar ceiling. Right, I am in Iori-san's home. Well, not that it really bothers me, but still I forgot something. I forgot about lessening the stocked assignments while I was away. Well, today is school day, so I will eat bread for my breakfast.

As I started my day, Akane is waiting in my front door.

"Good morning, Kage-kun!" She said happily.

"Y-yeah, good morning to you as well." I said quite surprised.

I mean, why does she have a change of heart? No, that is not the right question, rather why did she became angry towards me before? During the time I woke up, she changed completely. I assume that she changed because she felt bad? Or because I was on the brink of death then? I don't know anymore!

"Breakfast is ready now and mama asked to wake you up since you still need to get your stuff in your home right?"

... Well, she is the child of those 2.

"I take that silence as affirmation to my question. Now let's go and eat together!"

She grabbed me by the hand and headed downstairs. I don't know why, but she jumped and yayying.

"Yay! Time to eat!"

"Watch out!"

And she realized what is happening, now.

"Ah"

I quickly gathered my thoughts and grabbed her. It failed. Instead of me just pulling her towards me, I was pulled towards her. I quickly placed myself at the bottom so that it would not mean she will take the fall. But for some reason, she grinned at me.

WHY!!!

And we fell down stairs. Both of her parents heard that and headed to us. We were asked about some stuff but they settled it since no one got hurt. But Akane whispered to me.

"I have a scratch here in my thighs. If I told my parents about this, you would be scolded for a LONG time~"

My mind went blank. I remember back then how scary those 2 are. Should they learn of this, Iori-san will take it that I am not prepared enough and would start the hellish training he talked about. I got shivers from remembering what he told me. Plus i would be beaten up by himself. As I was paling up, she continued.

"Don't worry~ I won't say it. But you have to make it up to me, ok?"

"Y-yes..." I said weakly.

I said that and she beams of more positivity than earlier. I only learned later how I wished I could go back in time and make sure that she is not hurt.
