❝If you dance, I'll dance❞

[Trigger warning: Mention of blood]

"Welcome!" Kotoha washed the plates and kept them neatly stacked. The door opened and closed.

"Kotoha~"

"On duty?" Kotoha asked as she tied her hair up in a pony. Umemiya visits her in the morning to get sandwiches for everyone in Bofurin.

"I came to show you the capsicum seedlings as well!"

He took the stool nearby and sat opposite, scrolling through the pictures. Kotoha caught a glimpse of the transparent phone case decorated with images.

"Can you get Lili for help?" She requested, looking at the list in her hand.

The last time she sent Umemiya to shop, he brought smashed eggs and a few more boys.

"Roger that!" He beamed at her. He stood and walked up to the door.

"Kotoha, one bowl of omurice for me when I return!"

Kotoha sighed as he beamed, nodding slightly.

"I need Lili first."

"A redhead?"

Shit. That's all Lili could say when surrounded by at least ten armed men. She held the bags she had brought for Kotoha.

"Who taught you to gang up on someone uninvited?"

"You'll be the one running away today." The one with the metal rod commented, snickering at her.

It was rather grim in the back streets, with little to no light.

Lili had no choice but to hurry as Kotoha would have customers soon.

"The girl we've heard so much about?"

On a second glance, they didn't look like they were from Furin or the outskirts. They were strangers, most likely from neighboring turf. Lili bit her lips.
