Faster forfeit

I looked at Kyoko and found that she wasn't worried about this at all.

Rather, there seemed to be a confident and happy look that was on her face.

Was she happy because it meant that it would be an easy match for both of us, or was there another reason that she was happy?

It felt like there was another reason she was happy about this…

I didn't know what the reason might be, but it didn't feel like a good thing for me. It almost felt like there was some kind of trap that was waiting for me.

So I couldn't help saying, "Isn't it lucky that we were put in the same match? That means that we can save on energy in the first round. I'll forfeit so you won't have to do anything."

Kyoko looked at me without saying a thing and just gave a simple nod.

But for some reason, I felt like I didn't like that nod.

When the drawing show was over, the Kamo Family's fourth master said, "Now, if everyone will follow me."
