Bab 238: Away From Her Gaze

--

"Yuzu-kun?!"

Shizuka was taken aback when the younger brunet ran away abruptly. Why or for what reason, she didn't know. All she knew was that it would a problem for him to go out by himself.

Contemplating on what to do, Shizuka decided that it would be better for her to chase him rather than telling the others first about it. She knew it was a bad decision, but it was the fastest way to catch up to Yuzuki.

"All right, I hate running, but let's do this." Shizuka huffed and puffed her chest before preparing herself for a speed run. Stretching her limbs even more than after she woke up, Shizuka glared at the trail Yuzuki went off to. "Oh, how I hate running. Gaia, pray for my feet and legs' survival."

Shizuka took her stand from a simple crouch into a proper running position. One of her legs was stretched back, straight and steady. She took a deep breath between gritted teeth, eyes looking straight ahead with her crystal-blue sights.
