Inside, the puppet laughed at the two, as the girl balanced on elevated boxes.
"Hahahaha! What do you think, Shido and Sera-kun? Isn't this cool? Doesn't Yoshinon look cool?"
The two were preparing for her inevitable fall.
"Hey, that's dangerous!" said Shido.
"Jeez. Just tell me if it looks cool or not," replied the puppet.
"It is but come down please!" asked Sera.
His wish was spontaneously fulfilled, as the girl slipped and fell on Shido, who caught her with his timed response. Her lips unintentionally touched his. They both stared in shock, as the girl pulled back.
"Er... This is... Um..."
She stood up and stared at him. His earpiece starting buzzing.
"Damnit, the Mood Meter's going down..."
"Ouchie! Sorry 'bout that, Shido-kun! I was a bit reckless," said the puppet.
"Shido, we have an emergency," said Kotori via the earpiece.
"What happened?" asked Shido.
"...Tohka?!" blurted out Sera.
She was standing a little further from them, the flames of anger almost engulfing her.
"T-Tohka...?" blurted out Shido.
She looked at him, her eyes bearing a red accessory.
"Shido, what are you doing?"
"What do you mean?" asked Shido.
He instantly realised she meant the girl being on top of him and touched his lip.
"I'm left behind worrying about you, only to find you messing around with another girl. What's going on?!" asked Tohka sternly, stomping with force in the floor, cracking it.
"Oh dear. We've gotten ourselves in quite a situation here. Her spiritual powers have returned to her," said Kotori.
"What?! What should I do?" asked Shido.
Tohka walked over and pointed at the girl.
"Shido, Sera, are you telling me your important business was to meet with this girl?!"
"No, I'm just—"
"Onee-san, um...," blurted the puppet.
"My name is Tohka!"
"Tohka-chan, I feel bad for you, but it looks like Shido-kun has grown tired of you," said the puppet with a joker's voice.
All three gasped.
"After listening to your conversation, it seems like he broke your promise and came to meet Yoshinon instead of you, right? No doubt about it, eh?"
Tohka started tearing up.
"Th-That's not true—!" tried to say Sera.
"What are you saying—?!" tried to say Shido.
Tohka shut them both up by putting her hands over their mouths.
"Be quiet for a moment."
"I truly am sorry. It seems like Yoshinon is just too attractive. I'm not saying it's your fault, but you can't blame Shido and Sera-kun for ditching you to come to see Yoshinon. Do you understand?" continued the puppet with no hint of remorse.
Tohka screamed out.
"Shut up! Be quiet, quiet, quiet! I won't allow that! That is not allowed!"
"Well, even if you tell me that I can't... Why don't you tell her too, Shido and Sera-kun? Tell her how she's just a nuisance."
