is this the right place?

"Did you trust him so easily?" Miko knew that Shizue was not the type to trust anyone and do work for them.

"Sometimes taking risks pays off big time, you know."

"'Well, you're right. I'm in."

Miko agreed, but Hiru did not. Later, Hiru agreed, and they all went to the place. It looked like a haunted house, but it was still daytime, so there was no need to be afraid.

"Oh...Shizue, a-are you s-sure this i-is the right p-place?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I expect to have wonderful memories here."

The only one who was scared was hiru. Miko was excited and Shizue felt nothing.

And when they were about to go inside, Hiru stopped in fear and said,"I-I will s-sta-ay her-re."

"Are you all right, Hiru?" Miko looked at Hiru and asked.

"Fine.Call me if something extraordinary happens."

Shizue allowed Hiru to stay outside and wait for them.

Later,When Miko and Shizue entered the house, their footsteps were clearly audible. The house had been abandoned for years,so it was kinda obvious.

"Ah, Shizue. What was the mission?" Miko stopped and asked.

"Don't call me by my first name,and about our mission,we have to catch a cat. That cat is white with blue eyes."

"Oh, okay."

Then they took the stairs to the second floor,but when they were moving a origami was looking at them.

But when Shizue looked in the window to see if anyone was watching them, Origami was not there.

"What's wrong, Shizue?"

"I told you not to call me by my name"Shizue looked at Miko and said.

"I thought we were friends!"

"I Know we're friends now, but I won't allow you to call me by my first name."

"But hiru can say that, so why can't I?"

"Because I've known him since we were kids."

"You are the one who does whatever they want."

"Your words don't affect me."

"I shouldn't have come here." Miko said, folding her hands and looking at something else.

"I was going to do this alone, but Grandmaster said to take you and Hiru with me...."

"The Grandmaster is a friendly guy, but is he really that trustworthy?"

"I must work with him for my sake, for your sake, and for Ru-chan's sake."

"Wait, it's for our sakes too?"Miko looked at Shizue while being shocked and asked.

"'You and Ru-chan waited for me in the cave, didn't you?"

"Oh...so that's your reason..." Miko looked down sadly. She thought Shizue was doing this because they were friends, but that was not the case here.

"Now, let's go."

"No, I'm staying here."

"Ok,then." Shizue said and started to move, but after two steps, Miko shouted,"are you just going to leave me here?"

"You said you didn't want to go, so I'm going alone". Shizue stopped and looked at Miko and said.

"Why don't you try to ask me why I didn't wanted to go?"

"You have your reasons....There's nothing I can do about it."

"Oh..." Miko remembered something that had happened a while ago. It was when she was about to head to the house place.

"Hey, Hiru! Don't worry. I'll try to convince Shizue."

"Shizue isn't the type to listen to others."

"I'm just going to try, even if it doesn't work out."

"So you have a plan?"

"Of course! I've already figure out the place where we are going.It's a haunted house, so when we get there you're going to pretend to be scared. Then Shizue and I will only go to the house. Later, when the timing is right, I'll make my move."

"As expected...You always do the most outrageous things....I won't ask how you knew where it was."

"Trust me, and stick to the plan."

Then, after remembering everything, Miko said in a small voice, "Hiru was right...But I'm not going to give up so quickly."

"Did you just whispered something?"

"Nothing. I'm staying."

"Well then,I'm going."Shizue said and started to move."

*Meow, meow.*

After hearing that, Shizue hurried to the third floor. There was a cat near the window and the window was half open.

Shizue jumped toward the cat without thinking, But the cat used the half-open window to quickly jump down from the third floor.

"Shizue!"

Miko also ran up and shouted Shizue's name.

Then Miko hurried to the window and looked down to see Shizue trying to catch the cat by her hand.

But then the cat suddenly fell faster than Shizue and landed on the face of Hiru, who was waiting for Shizue and Miko.

The cat then jumped and ran away. Then Shizue fell into the bushes... there's a thing that I don't understand. Did Shizue jump from the third floor knowing there were bushes, or did she jump without thinking?

"Ouch!My face...It hurts!" Hiru, of course, was in pain because the cat had scratched his face.

Shizue then came out of from the bushes. She still had leaves in her hair, but still she climbed the wall and looked here and there, but could not see the cat.

"Phew..."Miko was relieved to see that Shizue was all better.

"None of you were able to catch the cat?"hiru said.

Shizue came close to hiru after conforminng that the cat was completely gone and said,"it's your fault."

"what!?"

"If you hadn't been there, the cat would have taken more time to escape."

"I didn't know that the cat would come here. I just thought this would be a good place to wait for you two."

After saying that, Hiru looked at Miko. Miko shook her head saying no.
