Rinne: Sigh... We still haven't found any Chemies...

Rinne and Shido walked through the streets of Tengu City, as they used their Chemy Risers to search for Chemies.

As they venture throughout the city, Rinne notices the foul mood Shido was in. She grew worried for her companion as Shido's mood didn't improve the slightest.

Rinne: Hey, Itsuka...

Shido: Hm?

Rinne: Are you alright-?

???: Shido!

Both Shido and Rinne were shocked as they turned to find Tohka running towards them. The purple-haired girl presses Shido's arm against her chest, causing the young teen to blush.

Tohka: I've finally found you Shido!

Shido: Toh-Tohka?!

Rinne: What's she doing here?!

Bzzt... Bzzt...

A sudden phone call for Shido interrupts them. Shido answers it, recognizing it as Kotori's ringtone.

Kotori: Shido, it's terrible! Tohka's disappeared!

Shido: Don't worry I have her right here.

(Opening)

Tohka: I just wanted to spend time with Shido......

A pouting Tohka was on her knees as she faced Rinne and unamused Kotori. Tohka had received a small scolding from the red-head, as she wasn't supposed to leave the Fraxinus ship without informing them

Kotori: That doesn't mean you can suddenly leave the ship!

Tohka flinchess hearing Kotori raise her voice at her.

Shido: I'm back!

Tohka's mood brightens as Shido arrives with a bag of Tohka's favorite kinako bread in hand.

Tohka: Yay! Thanks Shido!

Tohka takes the bag of Kinako bread away from Shido. She begins to stuff her face with the bread Shido bought for her.

Seeing the joy in Tohka's face Kotori lets go of her serious expression.

Kotori: sigh... Listen here Tohka, we know that you want to spend more time with Shido but he has other responsibilities to fulfill.

Tohka: I'm sorry.

Kotori: Well then let's head back, Shido has to continue searching for more Chemies.

Tohka: Gummies?!

Tohka eyes brightened as she mishears Kotori's words, misinterpreting them as another form of food.

Kotori: I said Chemies.

Tohka: Oh, you mean those creatures that give Shido his powers right?

Kotori: That's right.

Tohka: So if Shido finds one then he can make time for me, right?

Both Shido and Rinne turned to each other. They were unsure on how to answer Tohka, but Kotori beat them to the punch.

Kotori: Yeah, that's right. Shido would probably have more free time.

Shido: Kotori!

Kotori: What? It's not like she knows where to find-.
