A pleading Origami. Not something Tohka was keen on seeing any longer.

"F-Fine! I'll tell you, so quit begging! It's creeping me out! The Spirit of Fire... Yes, I saw it. It was, you know... Red."

"What else?"

"I guess it had a tint of orange as well," added Sera.

"Anything else?"

"Anything else? Let's see... It was strong."

"Is that all?"

"It was all like... fwoosh!" said Tohka, as she spread her arms open.

"Useless. Even Sera told me something more useful."

"Wh-What did you say?! Is that how you thank someone for a favour?"

"Wh-What did you say?! Is that how you thank someone for a favour?"

"By the way, Shido... I only have competition swimwear I purchased for school use. It would cause problems if I were to use them at a pool or an ocean for leisure."

"Y-Yeah, okay. Well, you're in the swimsuit area, so why don't you..."

"Swimsuits must not be judged only by oneself, but also by others. Males tend to provide the best insight."

"Huh?"

"Males tend to provide the best insight."

"Uh..."

"The best insight."

"I-I can give some feedback..." uttered Shido.

Tohka gasped but crossed her arms and stared at Origami promptly.

"Remember, Tobiichi Origami, the one who makes Shido more excited, is granted the right to have a date with him!"

"The result is already clear. I would never give up a date with Shido to you."

"Why are they suddenly fighting...?" whispered Shido.

"That's fine, isn't it? It will be good training for you."

The trio appeared in front of them.

"Hey, isn't that Itsuka-kun and Sera-kun?"

"What are they doing here? This is the girl's swimsuit section."

"Gross."

"N-No, I..."

They were in swimsuits, and Shido had quite the difficulty hiding his flushed face. Then, they began walking away.

"Well, whatever. Let's try out some more."

"What about school swimsuits?"

"Gross!"

"What the heck is their problem?" uttered Sera.

"I-I wish I knew...!"

"Shin, that's a new record. At this rate, they'll be the ones to get a date with you."
