Itsuka Residence
Tohka's POV
After giving Rinne an offering of going out on a date with Shido and me being the third wheel. We decided to head home from school and get change to something appropriate to wear on a date.
I cannot believe she is willingly to accept this. But it is our only way to get home otherwise we would be stuck in this so called paradise for the rest of our lives.
Currently right now and luckily there was a tracksuit lying around the drawers. I had it putted in on as it was suppose to be my signature attire.
Usually tracksuits are a symbol of isekai main character.
With that out of the way I headed downstairs with Shido still in his school uniform.
"Shido, aren't you going to change?"
"Oh, I'm fine with what I'm wearing Tohka." He smiles.
"Well, It doesn't look appealing for a date though." I replied.
"Well this date doesn't focus solely on you, Tohka!" He became flustered due to my obvious comment.
I snickered.
Well I think this is alright. I'm already packed up and Shido seemed ready.
"Shall we get going then?" I ask.
Following with a nod from Shido.
This world isn't all too different from the real one. But I get this feeling that this is all but a dream. Maybe it's all big talk.
...
As we walked out of the house then headed to the train station where were going to meet Rinne. On our way Shido was still thinking in his mind about this. On how the plan will proceed until the very end.
Ruler isn't someone to take lightly at all.
Well, in my case I take her pretty lightly and not too serious because I know, just by looking she doesn't want to reset this world at all. Because to reset this entire world she would have to kill Shido. From what the fandomwiki said.
From the looks of things did Shido lose his spirit abilities?
I can't seem to recall having him to use his abilities. Should I even ask? Maybe later once this whole date is over, or maybe after the whole Tengu Cow.
The people are behaving normally like nothing is going suspiciously at all. Pedestrians walked by us and the entire crowd when we reached the city square was very lively.
Shido and I made it our way to the train and see Rinne waiting. It looks like she didn't change her clothes as she was still wearing her uniform.
"Rinne!" Shido calls her out as her attention drifted to us.
In response she waved back at us.
"Shido! Tohka-chan! You both made it!" She happily said.
I smiled for my greet to her.
Rinne then ask, "So where are we going?"
"I was thinking going to the movies?" Shido thought of it.
"The movies doesn't sound too bad. I say we go for it." I encourage his suggestion which brought upon Rinne to agreed to the idea.
"I don't see why not." Rinne replies.
"Alright, will hit the movies then!" Shido says.
With that activity decided we walked to the movies theaters. It was about a couple minutes away from us at the train station.
Like from earlier when Shido and I headed here to meet up with Rinne. It wasn't all too crowded. But there were people lining up for one movie that just came out.
Wow even in this replica world, these movie releases seems to be up to date.
There were many choices on which movie is airing but there was one particular movies that had my eye balls glued directly.
Rinne saw this and had her drop a sweat.
"Umm, it seems Tohka has found a movie for us to watch." Rinne said.
Shido looked curious as she saw me gazing at a poster for the movie.
"Seriously, you like that stuff?" He sounded kinda rude there, "Sonic the Hedgehog 2?"
Wait they actually have that?
Back then before being reincarnated in this reality, I only watched the first movie but they also got the sequel here. Alright for once Rinne, your paradise world has completed one of my unfinished wishes.
"Hmm," Rinne observes the poster, "It does look good. But wouldn't we have to watch the first movie to understand the background of it?"
"You're right about that." Shido looks towards me awaiting his approval as I stood their shining eyes. Giving him a sign of 'Let me watch this pleaseeee!' look. "Well... if Tohka wants to watch then I can't technically go against it... otherwise she'll probably throw a tantrum at me."
I heard Shido muttering something rude about me like I'm some kind of child. Asshole, I would never.
"Well let's go then!" I said. But before we even bought our tickets Shido receives a call from Kotori it seems.
"Oh sorry, let me takes this for moment. It's Kotori if you're wondering." He did picked up his phone and answers her call. "Hello Kotori?"
As Shido was chatting with Kotori, this left both me and Rinne to have an open conversation.
To be honest I didn't have any topic to discuss with her at all.
"Tohka-chan what got you hooked up to this movie?" Rinne ask trying to start a conversation at least while Shido is busy talking to Kotori.
"Because, Sonic." I gave her a blunt answer which causer her to drop a sweat from that response.
"Hahaha, I see." She says nervously.
Shido looks like he's fighting over with Kotori about today's activity.
"Will you shut up already... I'm on a date with Rinne and Tohka's with me..." Shido suddenly stop speaking as it looked like he fucked up something.
This caused a huge misunderstanding on Kotori's perspective. Since this world revolts on the canon of Date A Live, they would assume I would go berserk just because Shido gets snagged by a different girl.
Talk about immaturity.
I mean, I admit I am immature but that not that kind of immature.
"I know, I got this under control... Yeah, she's perfectly fine... You can literally see it through the monitor... Oi Tohka!" Shido calls me out as he hook my attention to him. "Wave stupidly for me."
I don't see why not. Rinne is probably asking to herself, what the hell are these two morons doing?
I waved stupidly which earned another drop of sweat from Rinne.
"Hahaha," She laughs nervously, "What are you trying to do Shido, Tohka-chan?"
At full sync both Shido and I said.
"A double act."
"Oh umm, I don't get the act." Rinne said.
"We're still working on it." Both of us replies.
Shido then returns his attention to his phone and with that I heard Kotori scolding for doing something stupid which now.
I began to chuckle like a smug bastard.
"Sorry... wait what? You for real now? The pool?! I don't know if Tohka would want that... Well she is stabled. Mentally noted... Okay sounds like a plan... Goodbye." Shido then hung his phone off and put it back to his pocket then walked to us, "Sorry about that."
"Well you took your long ass time," I said without a care in the world.
"Tohka-chan, language!" Rinne then returns to the subject, "Is everything okay that must've been an important call."
"It's fine, already taken care of!" Shido smiles, "Say would it be alright if we go to the pool instead?"
The pool?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That's a no for me. Sure I can swim but never enjoyed being on the pool.
"The pool? But I don't have a swimsuit." Rinne says.
But of course Shido being a complete chad had it all covered.
"Will just buy you one near the department store by the train station if there is one on sale!"
"I guess that will cover it all, what about you Tohka-chan?" Rinne asked me.
I don't know if I want to go with them. First off I do not like swimming and second I think my swimsuit in this reality is a two piece and I'm very embarrass to show off my body to other guys.
Ha gay. (Just a joke... don't kill me pls)
Wait, isn't my stuff or should I say in-game Tohka's stuff are back at the spirit mansion but is under rennavotion?
"How about, you and Shido go without me." I smiled.
Rinne shrieked earning a few gazes from other people around us.
"Inside voice Rinne, inside voice! come on." I said to her calming her down.
"Are you sure?" She asked as she seemed to be desperate for me to stay.
But I was like nope. I was really not in a mood to stay just to go to the pool.
"Positve, 100% Positive. After all its you and Shido's date. I'm just a third wheel." I smiled and in response to Rinne. She looked rather concern.
"You fine with this Shido?" I winked at him.
After a moment of silence from him he understood what I meant.
"Oh, OOohhh right hahaha, I'm totally fine with this." Shido then held his hand out and offered it to Rinne. Woah since when was he this bold, "Shall we get going, m'lady?"
Rinne blushed as she took his offer.
"Okay then Shido, let's get going." Rinne replies.
And with that the duo then walked out of the theaters and headed to the department store by the train station to buy a swimsuit for Rinne.
With Shido building up affection to Rinne, our ticket to home is now in the making.
It feels rather regretful to not join them...
But I get to watch Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie, while they do their date. so that's a win win for me.
Oh well might as well relax. I quickly went up the counter as asked for a ticket to see the movie.
"One ticket for Sonic 2 please!" I said.
"Alright then, that would be 2204 Yen."
Luckily for me I had a few allowance money from ratatoskr. In reality it's Reine's credit card. Back before this nut job world. I was earning cash rather than relaying on ratatoskr to provide me funds. But this situation is different so it's okay.
"Here you go," I gave her my molas as she handed me the ticket.
"Okay! Enjoy the film!"
Here we go time to watch the movie!

Pool
Rinne POV
So she wasn't kidding about this Tohka being different. Looks like my job got a lot more difficult with her being in the way.
After all, my sole goal is to provide Shido a happy place. A happy place where he wouldn't feel any regret, nor conflicted, or sad. A world with no problems.
So far it seems his under Eden's influence. The plan should run as smoothly as it is hoped to be.
Though being left in the pool with just him is sorta embarrassing. We did make a quick trip to the department store just to get a swimsuit for me. a two pink piece bikini to say the least. All of this talk about swimwear is making me blush a little.
I know I may look like a seventeen-year-old girl but I was just recently created and this whole situation feels new to me.
Shido and I are currently by the pool swimming as I took a dive in.
But something felt off. As I emerge from the depth water, it felt a little lose end.
"Gaaahhh! R-Rinne!" Shido sounded he was gawking.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Y-y-yo-your! top! It's loseee!" He shouted with embarrassment.
I look behind my back and noticed it as thought of something to catch him off guard.
"Shido~ nobody looking and on a little side note, Tohka-chan isn't here. Would you like a peek?" I tried to persuade him but his response shocked me the most.
Was it an influence to this Tohka? I'm already aware with her behavior. But I do not feel like resetting this world at all as I have to kill Shido to do so.
"After going through hell with this kind of situation, Rinne. These common breasts of yours disqualify you from providing the support as a young woman. Give up and try again later." Shido said with the most casual tone that I ever heard.
That felt like someone had stabbed me directly through my Sephira crystal.
"EH?!" I replied.
"Not going to lie, you do have decent top but those won't satisfy me at all... I mean not yet." He mutters the last breath which I couldn't understand.
I began to drop a sweat from his excuse/explanation.
But overall that comment about my chest, I do find it rude. Tohka-chan just what have you been teaching Shido for these past months?!
"Though let me help you tie it up." Shido offers his help.
Ehh? How bold did you get Shido?! Well luckily he was a real gentleman as he securely tie up my top strings and with that we went back to our activity in the pool.

Tohka POV
Man that was the best sonic sequel movie I have ever seen. Damn they're even making Sonic 3. Gotta keep a note on that.
Anyways It was around 5:00 ish in the afternoon. I exit out of the theater and began to walk home to the Itsuka Residence.
Suddenly I feel a little thirsty all of sudden. Bruh I had a huge hot dog and giant ass drink. Why do I feel hungry? Oh wait it's because I'm Tohka.
Well I still have some leftover cash so I should be fine.
Luckily for me there was a nearby drink machine in the suburb area where the Itsuka Residence is at.
I walked up to it and see a bunch drinks on display going from water, sparkly water, tea and sodas. Wait is that?! Im buying that!
I then dug into my tracksuit pockets and pull out of my wallet. It's a good thing I had some cash just in case the card wouldn't work. Crap this is bad. as I nicked pick my wallet I had only one bill and it was 2000 Yen which is an equivalent of 20 Canadian Dollars. But I was thirsty and too lazy to continue walking.
So as my was hand was shaking in to temptation to insert it in. I did so as the machine ate it. I quickly press the button to which drink I was picking.
Then...
...
...
...
...
...
Where the hell is my drink?!
I lightly bang the machine to give my drink as I thought it was malfunctioning or something. But it was no use. I even shake the money insertion cause i thought I would get my money back but no use.
I quickly had my hands touched on the machine and with my face darkened.
"No, Rotten luck... It ate my 2000 Yen bill!" I said with frustration, "Give it back!"
"Hey! you done yet?" A girl with brown hair and had two small pigtails. She was short and was wearing a raizen high school uniform, I assume this is a first year... I could be wrong.
"Oh yeah," I just gestured her to have her turn. Wait hold on it's Mikie Okamine! sadly though since I'm in Rinne's world, Mikie and I aren't exactly close friends. "Wait, you know that machine will just eat your money right?"
Mikie then tilts her head to the side innocently.
"I already know that, I usually get my free drinks at this machine." Mikie then returns her faze to the machine, "Just a simple kick will outta do it... HEYAAH!"
With a simple kick to the side one of the drinks ejected out. Mikie took one and opened it as she drank it.
"Man, that a good way to cool off! After an intense training!" She says, "Oh right, Yatogami-senpai was it?"
I nod.
"Yeah, this machine is a pain. The first time I bought here it ate my 1000 Yen bill, I got scolded for it hehehe." She laughed nervously then, "So how much did it ate yours?"
Her eyes began to sparkle, I nervously look to the side to avoid eye contact to her.
"2000," I replied.
Mikie then snorted while I had my hands holding head as I wiggle like fool.
"Hahaha, here I thought I had the worst luck," Mikie cried out laughing.
"It was the only bill I had! DAMMIT SUCH MISFORTUNE!" I said.
"Well anyways I gotta go home, cya tomorrow at school Yatogami-senpai!" Mikie then took her leave as she waved good bye at me.
As I waved back, I was directly hit by a soda can. Since I inserted 2000 Yen the machine kept spitting out several drinks. As I caught some of them and had them set down in the floor, the machine finally stopped spitting things out as the 2000 Yen of drinks were out.
In total I had about around 8-10 drinks, how the hell am I suppose to carry this home. I mean I'm literally a few blocks away from the house. I sigh.
Well I can't let this drink go to waste, I'll just have them inside my clothes while I walk.
With that I was now 2 minutes away from the front door but then I saw Shido near someone's home, it looked like he was going to ring the door or something.
Wait that house is next to ours.
...
...
...
...
It's Rinne home isn't it? I thought to myself. Is Shido trying to get inside?
I walked a little closer but doing it is getting kinda difficult to carry these drinks.
"HEY! THE HELL YOU DOING THERE!" I shouted causing to Shido to shriek in fear. I see him holding his chest in. I almost gave him a heart attack.
"Tohka? What the hell! You almost scared me half to death!"
I nervously laugh.
"Sorry about that, but you should know that it isn't proper for a guy to sneak inside a girl's home."
"I wasn't sneaking, I was just looking. Where the hell have you been?" Shido asked me in a rude tone.
"Watching Sonic 2." I answered.
"Again with this shit?" He facepalmed, "Anyways, Im kinda curious if she has anything inside her home."
Heading inside to a world creator's home, doesn't seem to be a good idea at all.
"I think we should just leave, and not go inside." I said.
"But come on, don't you want to figure out that there could be something that she's hiding here?" Shido trying to boost my curiosity but failed anyway.
"Do not press that fucking button, Itsu-trash! There is no way I'm stepping inside that slaughter house of hers!" I said as it felt like my vien was popping and glowed a little due to my frustration and fear.
"Who's slaughter house?" A new voice I recognized joined but due to my ignorance. I replied to it casually.
"Rin- Ri... Rinne." The moment I partially said her name was head turned to see her Rinne Sonogami standing their watching the two of us acting like a bunch of morons.
"What are you both doing near my place?" Rinne ask.
Shido then had his eyes averted towards me as it seems like he wants me to form an excuse. Damn that bastard!
"You see we thought, I mean after your date with Shido. He got a bit worried about you is just checking up to see if you're okay." I lied, come on please work.
"Oh, how very thoughtful of you! well as matter in fact I was just buying some things for dinner." She had grocery bags in her hand as she smiled.
"Oh I see," Shido says.
"This is awkward, umm will take our leave then... come on lover-boy!" I grab Shido from his shirt and started dragging him, "Bye Rinne!"
"Oh bye then! I'll come over later to fix up dinner!" Rinne replies back with wave, "Be careful carrying those drinks, I could tell you're struggling!"
With that Rinne enters her home while Shido and I walked inside our home.
We still didn't forget about that whole tenguu cow thing, As Shido and I plan to take both Kotori and Yoshino with us to the hill side. Rinne is also coming and let's not forget Origami.
Oh boi this night is going one hecktic one.

Hillside Lake
I'm here with my bro Shido along with both Yoshino and Kotori. After finishing a quick supper with we walked straight to the hillside lake. What's weird is that when we arrived there's this weird dome thing bridging to the middle of the lake.
I'm sensing bad energy there. I'll just ignore it for now as it could possibly be one of Rinne's hot spots.
Speaking of Rinne she did have supper with us before heading back to her place. She told us she'll come by later after she fixed herself up.
So we did arrive a little early. Kotori was wearing her white ribbon instead of her black ribbon because Rinne going to join us. Yoshino had her standard casual clothing with that summer white dress and straw hat. Matching Yoshinon with a simple white dress. Shido was simply wearing a blue shirt while I wore my blue tracksuit. I had my offering in a plastic bag.
Im still curious if Origami came in late.
Where the hell is she?
.
.
.
.
"Gah!" Shido shrieked as I noticed the paled white haired doll has finally arrived, "Origami what the heck?"
"I'm comforting you." She says as she clinging on this his right arm.
I wasn't jealous because I wouldn't pull a tamper tantrum like Tohka did.
"Looks like I arrive just in time." Rinne finally joined in.
"Rinne-neechan!" Kotori happily greets.
"Ah Kotori-san, how are you." Rinne smiles.
Good looks like everyone is here, now the only person left is Tonomachi. As we waited a little, due to Kotori's white ribbons she began to whimper.
"Oniichan, I want to go home... this place is giving me the creeps." She says. For a fire spirit loli you're bipolar personality does make a difference.
"Hold on, you're scared?" Shido pulling a smug. This caught Kotori's attention as she began to tough in up.
"I am not!" She answers him.
"Yeah, you know I still remember that time I told you scary stories, you'd cry before I even. You couldn't use the bathroom by yourself." Wow Shido sounding like complete asshole here.
Kotori looked like she was going burst in tears literally.
"I'm not a child anymore, waahh." Kotori began to sniff in tears. This made Shido realized that he crossed the line.
"Shido! stop being a complete jerk to Kotori!" I said.
"Okay, okay. Don't cry Kotori! We'll head home as soon as we give our offerings, let's just sit on tight and wait for Tonomachi." Shido held his hands trying to apologize to Kotori and at the same time sighs when he finishes he's sentences.
"Shido, stop bullying Kotori-chan." Rinne came in defense.
"But umm... I didn't mean to." Shido began to stutter knowing that it was bit mean of him to tease his beloved little sister Kotori.
"Hold on, Kotori-chan. I'm with you okay?" Rinne bright up the mood with a smile. This got Kotori to feel comfortable now.
"Uhh, umm I-I'll try!" Kotori answers Rinne with confidence.
Seriously where the hell is Tonomachi. This guy making up a fake ass story just to get attention. Damn, thank god I wasn't that kid back in my old world.
Shido looked a little stress, as it seems like bringing Kotori here wasn't technically a good idea. Yoshino looked concern as she went to Kotori and asked if she was okay. Then Yoshinon being a blabber mouth was teasingly accusing Shido for being a jerk.
I stood there just watching them bickering. I sighed.
"Shido, I'm scared." said Origami, who didn't even fazed at all. You're telling me you're scared but you don't look scared at all.
Stupid Origami.
Please Shido use your brain for once! She isn't scared, she is after your junior.
Origami kept gazing on Shido which got him a little uneasy. But Origami being a bold girl began to approach Shido closely.
Damn someone literally needs to put a leash on her. WAIT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!
"Origami, what the hell?" Shido asked himself.
Origami has already grab a hold onto Shido's arm as she was grazing it with her boobs.
I smirked and began to snicker from this. Immediately Shido glared. What? It's not my problem my guy. It's a you problem.
Rinne looked a little confused and her her look towards me.
"Umm, Tohka-chan? aren't you going to argue with Origami-chan?" She ask.
"Rinne," I had both hands holding her shoulders and with my face closer to hers.
"Hmm? Eh?" She got nervous from this sudden move.
[WOAH! WOAH! Is this some kind of forbidden fruit happening?!] Yoshinon shouted which was then covered by Yoshino who was flustered from that.
Kotori had her mouth covered with both of her hands in a shock state.
"What no!" I had a vein popping, I sigh and continued, "I wouldn't bother waste my time with this."
I let her go and proceed my way to the fog just a bit from their line of sight.
"Tohka a little help here!" Shido begged as Origami was still attached to him.
I shrugged and said, "You're on your own! I'm going to make my offering!"
Before I could even go, Rinne stopped me and asked all us to show what our offerings is going to be to this tengu cow.
"Oh right, Tohka why don't you show your offering to us first?" Shido asked.
I quickly dug out the item from my plastic bag and it was just raw ground beef.
"Umm, it's beef?" Shido said confusingly, "Why raw?"
"Because... umm... Originally it was going to Tonomachi himself, but I said to myself. Would the Tengu Cow find him delicious? So I went for raw beef." I said rubbing my backside with a heartful laugh.
"Now that's a bit mean of you Tohka-chan," Rinne said giving a disapproval look.
"How scary of you Tohka-san." Yoshino said.
"Wahh, you're a monster!" Following Kotori.
Origami simply glared.
Shido sighs knowing my personality.
Fine, be that way you jerks!
"What did you guys bring then?" I asked.
Rinne then picked up something from her grocery bag, and it looked like... There is no physical way that she managed to carry this all the way from her house to here.
It was a watermelon. A baby-sized one.
"A watermelon?!" Shido shouts.
"Well, I couldn't really think of one, and plus they're not quite in season, but it looked delicious that I couldn't help myself. Is it not okay?" Rinne replies with her head tilted.
"No, not at all. I say its an interesting choice." He answers her.
"It would have been better if I brought a bucket of kfc and some koolaid to pair it up with it." I mutter under my breathe.
"Kool-aid?" Rinne ask hearing bits of my words.
"Oh it's nothing." I clarify.
Not back to the offerings. Origami had brought white flowers as her offering. Yoshino brought a cow hand-puppet. Up next was Kotori. But she insisted to let her Oniichan go first.
"You first, Oniichan!" She said.
Shido sighed and then pulled out something from his plastic bag.
"I brought a shortcake. It's from the bakery downtown. Good thing I had the time to pick up one..." He said.
For some reason, my mouth began to water as I gazed on that shortcake that Shido brought for the Tengu beef.
Now Kotori then brings her out and its... a lollipop...
that is so Kotori of her.
"Hold on, that just a typical lollipop." Shido retorts.
"Apapapap, you're just blind bro!" Kotori smiles.
"Huh?"
"This is a limited edition lollipop. Not you just typical lollipop. Get it right Niichan!" Kotori continues her rant.
To REAL honest, they're the exact same thing. Whats the difference? the flavor? that's BS.
"So back off! this is the Tengu Cow's offering." Kotori defends her treat.
"Boohoo, like I would take that garbage." Shido replies with a blunt response.
This got Kotori upset.

...
As time goes by to be exact 30 minutes has passed. Still no sign of Tonomachi. He is late, a bit too late. The bastard should've been here ages ago.
This is a set up isn't it?
"Shido, when is Tonomachi going to show his face?" I asked.
In response to Shido, "I don't know, I've called him several times. He isn't picking it up at all."
Strange. Did he like... die because he was the host?
[Heyyyy Shiddooooo! Did he get lost by any chance?" Yoshinon ask.
"It wouldn't make sense for him to be though," He said.
"True, he was the one who insisted for us to meet him here." Rinne follows.
"Its possible. A phantom might have got him. It could the curse of the Tengu Cow." Origami says in her usual monotone.
Suddenly everyone excluding both Origami and I felt chills running down our spine.
"Argh! Don't casually drop that Origami!" Shido shrieked.
"The person who invited us has disappeared. Don't you find it suspcious?" Origami questions Tonomachi's disappearance again.
"Sus indeed." I follow her.
With that Kotori going to be the one to burst into tears. Shido came in to her aid and asked if she would like to head home early. But Kotori kept declining the offer as she keeps telling to us that she isn't afraid. Her shaky limbs and tears are a proof that couldn't handle it.
Shido then insisted to find Tonomachi, as he volunteered himself to go throuhg the thick fog in front our path. I decided to come along with him, which Shido didn't care at all.
It was lucky on our that Origami didn't join with us. Knowing her obsession with Shido.
The fog around was so thick that it was very difficult see.
"HEY! TONOMACHI! YOU HERE MAN?" He shouts on the top of his lungs.
"SUBARU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I shouted.
"Subaru?" Shido asked me.
"I only love Emilia." I replied.
"What? Whatever, there's no way he could've been spirited away like that right?" Shido says.
"Like the ones from the movie? I love that movie!"
"Yeah, that and this isn't the time for movies Tohka! It doesn't make any sense. He made all of this up." Shido says out of frustration because in our situation things wasn't making any sense at all, "Like ghost exist... I'm not afraid."
"A spirit like me exist, I don't think you should doubt yourself at this moment Shido." I said.
Suddenly something was rustling in the tall grass. Okay this was making heart pound like crazy. I may be the daughter of a Yandere Goddesses but this is on whole different level.
Rustle
Rustle
WHAT THE FUCK?! Im very eager right now to use spirit gun but since Rinne is here so I can't.
"Show yourself creature!" I shout in defense as I found a stick in the ground threw it to the hear.
"OW! Tohka-chan that hurts," It was Rinne was she was rubbing her sides from where the stick landed, "It's only me."
Shido then sighed in relief. It looked like he finally calmed down.
With Rinne with us I searched around the spot to where Tonomachi could be but no sign at all. I saw Shido and Rinne chatting about this afternoon's date with them. Something about the pool and Rinne thinking that she might be in the way.
This is exactly what Shido and I need. We're trying to get to the true ending to get out of this wacky game world.
Screw eden seed.
With that whole conversation finished all of us agreed to head back and regroup with Kotori, Yoshino and Origami.
"There you guys are! We were waiting for you!" Kotori said with concern.
"Sorry about that," Shido apologizes.
"There's no point for a search party if they get lost though." Kotori having a few tears forming.
"We're sorry, Kotori-chan." Rinne apologizes too.
"Sorry Kotori," I apologizes playfully knowing Kotori she would forgive as easily with her white ribbon.
"Still though, where the hell is that clown Tonomachi at?" Shido asked to himself. As it seems majority of us had the same question. Where is the fool?
Out of nowhere I hear a growl noise, I don't think any of the others heard of it. I think its because of sense of hearing being more efficient than an average human.
But this one gave me chills.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It sounded a dude screaming for his dear life.
"What the heck? wait that sounded like Tonomachi!" Shido deducts.
He was right we then see him running away from something? But it looked like he was running for his dear life.
"Hey you're late Tonomachi! What the hell are you doing?!" Shido asked furiously because the fact that we waited a whole hour and half for him to show up. It was right for Shido to be pissed off.
"It's HEERREEE" Tonomachi shouts. As he passed by his face was terrified.
"What's going on?" Shido ask him.
Tonomachi then ran back to Shido.
"It's here! It's here!"
I decided to cut off Shido as I grab a hold to Tonomachi with an intimated aura.
"WHAT? WHAT'S HERE?!" I ask.
In response Tonomachi was sweating bullets on his forehead.
"I don't know! but I saw something!" He said.
"You screwing with us right?" I said casually.
"Is this your new way on picking up chicks? Tonomachi?" Shido continues my sharp pain truth.
Tonomachi then playfully became upset.
"What are you talking about?! Itsuka!? Tohka-chan!? This is bad! real bad!" Tonomachi was looking very terrified. This was no laughing matter now.
"What are you talking about?" Shido asked for clarification to Tonomachi.
"I'm heading home, this has became a dangerous situation not just for me but you guys as well! I'm out screw this!" Tonomachi then ran off like Joseph Joestar would.
With him gone, chills suddenly appeared down our spine. Especially Kotori's as she was whimpering and sniffing with tears almost bursting.
"Kotori, you okay there?" Shido ask.
"I-is... something there?" Yoshino was stuttering and was going to cry as well.
Shido rubbed if off and said that It could a joke that Tonomachi was acting. But Yoshino didn;t bought it as the hermit spirit was going to burst into tears and cry.
[So, what's the plan now Shido? Look how adorable Yoshino gets she she's scared.] Dear god Yoshinon shut up and stop giving him weird ideas.
"Why are you asking me?! Well, let's drop off the offering and leave." He offered.
"G-great idea!" Kotori said while shaking.
"We should do it now, after all this is a school night." Rinne reminded us.
Origami didn't care less as she decided to offer a competition. Oh my god.
"The one who pays her offering will be the one to have Shido all to herself." She said.
"Hard pass."
"?!" Confusion erupted the white haired doll.
"I said pass, you can have him to yourself, Origami." I grinned while Shido looked like he was betrayed.
.

Growl
.
.
.
Suddenly a growl was heard around the background. Seriously what the hell is that? A crocodile or something? Everyone was alerted.
"Oniichan?!" Kotori cried.
"Shido-san?!" Yoshino yelped
"hmm?" I said.
"A cry. It must be the Tengu Cow..." Origami declares.
This made Kotori cry.
"Yeah no way! That was nothing, eh right Rinne?" Shido double checks with his childhood friend.
Rinne had a drop of sweat to her side and was looking a little nervous.
"Huh? uh... yeah! I think?" Rinne responded. "Why don't we all just go home? after all its a school night!"
"Yeah, I guess. But will need to head to the shrine and drop off our offerings."
.
.
Growl
.
.
After that sentence from Shido a loud growl came. Which shocked everyone. apart from me and Origami.
"What?" Shido shrieked in surprise.
"huh?" Origami said.
"Seriously it was a crocodile this entire time... well I could give him for creativity." I was disappointed.
"Creativity for a liar, yeah that fits him perfectly." Shido added a bit.
With the crocodile appearing, Kotori fainted and landed on Rinne. Yoshino was crying as her spirit powers were leaking out causing to freezes her surroundings.
Origami had the chance as the crocodile kept growling she grab a hold to Shido as she hugged him to the side. I stood there with a poker face and was like.
"Nah, I'm good."
"Shido, I don't want us to seperate." Origami said with affection.
"I will be forever surprised by your devotion Origami Tobiichi." I said with Origami staring at me like I lost a few marbles, since I haven't fought back to get Shido.
Suddenly the entire surrounding became quiet, of course we still hear the night crickets. But it seems like the crocodile was gone.
I wanna see where it went. This suddenly interest me. So I ran up close to the wetland parts.
"Tohka where you going?!" Shido ask from afar.
"Telling the crocodile to get off my swamp!" I answered him.
"What?!"
The moment I got close, there was someone with me. Someone I know rather familiar.
"Ara ara~ You act quite different, Tohka Yatogami." It was Kurumi Tokisaki. Wait what the hell is she doing here in my swamp? No literally was she stalking us as usual?
"Kurumi? What the hell are you doing here?" I ask.
"Sorry for the interruption, Tohka-san but I have some unfinished business to unfold for. Tell Shido-san I said Hi... after all you act very different from the Tohka I know." As she was about to depart.
"Hold on one second! What are you trying to find anyway?" Is she trying to find the source of this wacky world. Cause it seems like this in game Kurumi...
"I hate to be a party pooper, But I don't have enough time to tell you. But I'll tell you when its time. I'm sorry." Kurumi then fades away into darkness as she left.
Dammit wait! at least this problem of ours isn't going to be that big at all thanks to Kurumi. I think its about time I head back to the group.
I walked back to see everyone apart from Origami and fainted Kotori relief that I came back.
"Tohka, you alright? did anything happen?" Shido asked with worries.
"I'm fine." I responded to him.
"About the cow?" Origami ask.
"It was actually just a crocodile. Nothing to worry about!" I had a smile grin.
"Shido! COME QUICK! It's Kotori-chan!"
Shido and I quickly walked over to Rinne and notice Kotori was just out cold.
"Oh she only fainted," I said, "Don't worry Rinne, will take over from here."
"Shido-san!" Yoshino called him out as she was tearing up.
With me looking after Kotori, Shido's attention was then caught by Yoshino.
"Are you alright, Yoshino?" He asked. Only to have Yoshinon talking to him.
[Yoshino deserves some credit. She's been holding it in this whole time. One wrong step and all of you would've drowned in the lake!] Yoshinon finishes her speech.
Shido looked over to Yoshino one more time and then smiled.
"I-I see... good work, Yoshino!" He then headpats Yoshino which calms her down. I smiled at this wholesome moment.
"T-thank you... so much..."
"Will just call it off tonight and head home okay?" I said to the whole. Earning a nod from them.
"I agree, it's better that we go home. Everyone looks rather tired." Rinne added.
All of us nodded and with that... The Tenguu Cow event was officially over... only to have an upset Yoshino, a fainted Kotori, a curious Rinne, and an Origami is Origami.
I sigh just misfortune.

Itsuka Residence
Guest (Tohka's) Room
With that day finally over, I just hope we made some progress on Rinne's affection towards Shido after all it is the only for us to get home.
Still Rinne was chilled with my personality as Tohka.
But I'm curious to whom made that game and had it sent to our place.
Eh, I'll think about tomorrow. After all tomorrow is the sport event at the school. I just hope I still got it with the games. With Tohka's superhuman body I should be able to shred everyone apart from Origami and pros.
Alright lets take some shut eyes now...
.
.
.
.
.

Good night world...
.
.
.

"Why are you me?" A disembodied asked me.
What?
"Why do you have my body?" It asked again.
Huh? I'm confused...
"Are you trying to steal Shido from me?!" This one question was becoming more aggressive.
Why would I do that? I don't want him!
"This doesn't feel fair at all!" The voice was sounded like it was going to cry.
Why isn't it fair? though? I don't understand.
"Why you asked? It's because I'm Tohka Yatogami! YOU FAKER!" The voice became easy to hear as it manifested a person, it was Tohka... the real Tohka... or in-game... I don't know anymore...
But as for me my whole body was indeed Tohka but this Tohka was wearing her signature raizen high school uniform.
Wait why are you here? Is this a dream?
"Its because of you, Isaiah Wilson. you too-"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
huh she was beginning to cut off as the light was beginning to form in my sight.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...
Huh? the floor? The sun seems to be shinning by the window. Did I feel off my bed? What a weird dream that was.
My door burst open revealing Rinne.
"Oh Tohka-chan, you're awake good, just so to remind you breakfast is ready... Shido is already downstairs." Rinne said sounding like a mom as she exited out my room.
My head began to wrap something up. First off that dream was some kind of communication link with the in-game Tohka here. And how the hell does she know about my previous identity. This is getting weird.

and I'll get to the bottom of this...

Right after breakfast...
