Tohka Party (10) End

"Yoshino..." Shido was struck by Yoshino's words, and he didn't know what to say.

"Wait until I grow older, then—it'll be fine." Yoshino said with a smile.

"..."

There was silence.

"Well, dinner is getting cold, everyone…sit down and eat!" Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Kotori quickly changed the subject.

"Okay~" Everyone responded, returned to their seats and sat down.

Shido looked at Yoshino, and said softly, "I'm looking forward to it."

In a harmonious atmosphere, everyone continued to eat dinner.

"Darling, I also want to eat that pot of turtle." Miku suddenly pointed at the turtle and said coquettishly to Shido.

"Miku, isn't there something wrong with that dish? Yoshino almost lost her mind earlier..."

But before Tohka finished speaking, another girl with long three-strand braids and a dazed expression stood up and interrupted Tohka, "Implore. Yuzuru wants to eat too."

"So cunning." Nia didn't say much, simply picked up the chopsticks and grabbed the soft-shelled turtle.

"In that case, Shido, I want to eat too." Tohka also looked at Shido and said.

"Stop it, you'all," Shido quickly interrupted the girls, "Don't eat this, I'll throw it away."

But Shido immediately noticed the cold gaze of a certain girl.

"I mean," Shido broke into a cold sweat, "I'll take this dish for myself, and I'll eat it in my room."

Shido heaved a sigh of relief when the cold gaze disappeared.

"Everyone, try the neko rice balls I made." Kurumi said, holding a piece to Shido's mouth, "Shido-san, ah—"

"Uh, okay, thank you very much." Shido opened his mouth, and immediately felt the entrance of the sweet rice ball, "Kurumi's cooking is as superb as always."

"After all, if you want to stay by Shido-san's side, you must be able to provide for him in some way."

"Shido, try the other dish I made." At this moment, Origami pointed to another dish and said to Shido.

"Well, let me ask, did you put anything weird inside?"

"No."

"That's good." Shido put on a relieved expression, waiting for Origami's food.

But the strange thing was that Origami didn't feed the food to Shido, but ate it herself.

It wasn't exactly that she ate it, since she just chewed it in her mouth, but didn't swallow it, and then she turned her face towards Shido with a longing gaze.

"Wait, Origami, what are you doing?"

"Mouth Feeding Shido."

"Why in this way?"

"This is more conducive to digestion and absorption."

"Stop, stop! I'll do it myself!" Shido hurriedly picked up the origami dish and ate it hungrily.

Seeing Origami's slightly disappointed expression, Shido hurriedly said, "It's really delicious, the dishes made by Origami are awesome."

Seeing Shido eating the dishes she cooked and giving praise, Origami could only let it go temporarily.

In this way, the girls showed the dishes they made one by one. The tastes and textures were very different, but they were all full of love. Everyone tasted sweet and delicious.

"Shido." At this moment, the petite girl looked at Shido with embarrassment.

"What's wrong, Natsumi?"

"There is an open class tomorrow, and the guardian is going to attend the class too. We are wondering if we can let Shido come over..."

"I see…" Shido showed a distressed expression. After all, he didn't go to university today. It would be unreasonable to be absent tomorrow, but when Shido had an open class back then, Natsumi, Yoshino and the others gave Shido good memories. Now that they asked for Shido's help, he shouldn't refuse it.

"If Shido-san doesn't want to..." Seeing Shido's hesitation, Yoshino felt very lost for a moment.

"It's …"

"Are you still wondering about something?" Kotori said, patting the table, "If you don't come tomorrow, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a brother."

"Big brother also has difficulties. Even if nee-sama does not come, I can understand it. I will never do such a stupid thing as breaking off the relationship between brothers and sisters, since the bond between us cannot be broken no matter what."

"What are you talking about, Mana? It makes me look like a heartless person."

"Shido-san, I also know that Shido-san should not be bothered, but I think Shido-san is our relative. If Shido-san can come, Yoshino and everyone will be very happy."

"Please be sure to be there. Muku looks forward to a great lesson."

"It seems that I have to agree." Shido said with a smile while touching everyone's heads.

The girls all showed happy expressions.

"Is it an open class?" The eyes of some girls present were shining, thinking about something secretly.

After the dinner, the girls also have to go back to their own residences.

But Tohka still stayed here.

"What's the matter Tohka? Aren't you going to the apartment? The room has already been cleaned up for you." Kotori asked, puzzled.

"I'll go back later, and now I want to open the presents with Shido."

"That's it, no problem." Shido nodded in agreement.

The two sat on the sofa, Tohka first opened the gift from Shido - it was a bread pillow.

"Happy birthday, Tohka!" Shido patted Tohka's head and smiled.

"Well, thank you." Tohka blushed and buried her head in Shido's chest.

After the meeting, Tohka opened the gifts from everyone in turn: She received an alarm clock from Kurumi, new clothes from Yoshino, limited-flavored lollipops from Kotori, a beautifully crafted comb from Mukuro, and cosmetics from Natsumi.

In addition, she received a bracelet from Yuzuru, a samurai sword from Mana, and an electronic device from Maria. Thanks to Ratatosk, the gifts were prepared very quickly.

Next was Miku's—

"A CD? An album of love songs for Tohka?"

"Haha, as expected of Miku!" Shido said with a wry smile.

"And Nia's….It's a manga, right?" Tohka opened the manga presented by Nia.

"What are these two naked people doing in the picture? And this one looks like Shido, and the other one seems to be Nia?"

Shido quickly snatched the manga, "It's better not to read this stuff."

"Hmm," Tohka wondered, "Okay, let's see what kind of gift Origami prepared."

Tohka opened the box and saw a piece of paper inside.

"A ticket to the show?" Tohka thought about it, carefully studying the words on it.

"Shido and the Origami baby-making show? The limited edition?"

"What is this, Shido? It also says that the performance time is undecided, so how does it work?"

"That, I don't quite understand either." Shido took the ticket, drops of sweat dripping down his cheeks. "Origami, what are you doing?"

Shido's cry echoed in Itsuka's house.

A.N:

And that's it for the Tohka Party! What a day for Tohka, having both fun and chaos with everyone she loves!

Next is "Spirit Public Lesson", hopefully it fares well.
