The walk from Gekko District to Nonohana District felt short for Shoji. He didn't even want to go there. But, upon further consideration, he realized he had to; if he didn't, he'd have a psychopath chasing him for the rest of his life - and probably beyond, even as a ghost.
As he stared at the rubble surrounding Nonohana District from a distance, Shoji suggested, "Lucy-senpai, can't you just kiss Tsukino-chan and put an end to this? I'd have a reason to fight back then."
Lucy glanced at him sideways, ignoring his comment entirely. This plan was ridiculous, possibly the most ridiculous plan ever.
Mana, who had tagged along, found this amusing and whispered to Shoji, "Fufufu, you can kiss me instead, and you two will be even."
Shoji frowned, then yelled, "You pervert! That would only make things difficult for me! She'll kill me if she finds out!"
