"Please stop fighting!"
"....."
"....."
"....Fine", the girl turned around and was about to head back to her classroom when she was stopped again by the indigo-haired girl.
"Here's a t-shirt, you're going to be cold if you don't cover yourself properly"
Shin watched a sweet scene between the two girls and decided not to interrupt the moment due to one person in particular, not yet at least.
(Florence Goodwill, huh?) Shin eyed Florence for a moment, taking in her appearance.
The bell around her neck didn't make a sound despite the movement of her body. A few strands of her indigo hair stick to her face as she pants due to the large amount of sweat and her light red eyes look at them, not with malice, but worry for the girl in front of her.
A petite body, a cute round face that hasn't matured yet, and a staff longer than her height hanging from the back.
"Welp, see you in class, green panty"
"Hey!"
Shin teleported out of the spot and back to class.
_________
"Oh, so fluffy!", said Shin with a smile as he hugged a large feline creature nuzzling him.
Five people sits at the table in the cafeteria together with Shin, watching as he snuggles the creature.
"I know right? Tiger is really the best when it comes to relaxing after a long day of work" agreed Alexia who is the summoner.
(But he barely works on anything) - Clara.
(But isn't it just noon?) - Irviel who tagged along with Florence, found Shin, Clara, and Alexia together, he was reluctant at first due to how pretty they all were but Shin managed to get him to his seat after futile resistance.
(Rest is important after all) - Florence nodded in understanding.
"Tiger sure has an interesting smell," said Shin after a while, noticing a smell coming from it that most likely didn't belong to him.
"Really? I guess that must be from the grass somewhere" Alexia pondered Shin's words.
"It has this scent that belongs to a person"
"Eh? Who?", Alexia leaned forward, her curiosity peaking.
"You, of course"
"Whoa, what?", she clasped her hands together over her mouth in shock.
"..."
Laura watched the dramatic scene unfold before her eyes and couldn't help but feel that it would be safer for her to distance herself from that table.
After checking with the people on the list, she couldn't help but be disappointed in herself.
She then put her hand in the pocket but stopped herself.
(Right, I shouldn't make a call in public like this) she scolded herself for letting her failure almost ruin her secret communication device.
Calming herself down, she turns her gaze to her surroundings.
A couple sharing food together.
"...", the sight alone made her uncomfortable.
A person eating food.
"....", her eyes landed on a particular person in the distance after looking pass numerous people, the person who is eating the food didn't seem to care about the things going on around them except for the thing in front of them, not even the chaotic scene happening behind.
"I'm not letting you have Tiger!"
"Please, just for one night"
"No!!!"
"But I need to hug something to sleep well tonight...T_T"
"....I see, so you need something to hug huh?", Alexia became less resistant and looked around.
"No...Actually, I understand, Tiger is your familiar after all"
"No, that's fine..."
"But, I have an alternative in mind"
"Oh, really? What is it?", Shin then came near Alexia and whispered something into her ear, and for a moment after he distanced himself Alexia stood still.
"...", she was confused at the request.
"...?", then she began playing the words over and over in her head.
"...!!!!", then her face turned deep red as she realized what Shin just said to her.
"W-W-What did you just s-say?!!!!"
"Oh? Isn't it clear?" Shin feigned ignorance at her question and leaned in close again prompting Alexia to lean back to avoid him.
(She's going to fall) Laura realized in an instant.
Alexia must have realized as well but was too late to stop.
Shin also realized as well and was about to swoop in to catch her when.
The person behind her who was about to leave the table, used one of their hands to stop the chair.
"Be careful"
"Ah, sorry", the figure then pushed Alexia's chair back to its original position before leaving.
"....."
Everyone around the table was speechless at the figure's action.
(Amazing, he didn't spare any second to look at her)
The execution was flawless in her opinion:
1. Catch the chair
2. Push the chair back to its original position
3. Leave without saying anything more
Most people would have said something else but the figure simply left after helping.
The people who were watching from afar watched the figure for a while before turning their gaze back to the female students at Shin's table and Shin himself.
