"Spirit of Distraction" • Tensura X Date a Live

Ch 13: FOOTAGE

---Shido POV---

The next day, just like usual, Shidou and the others went to school and then morning homeroom started.

" Good morning everyone, now let's start the roll call " Tama-sensei said and started to open the notebook and start reading each student's name.

" Tokisaki-san? " Tama-sensei read Kurumi's turn. However, there is no response

Even though it's homeroom, Kurumi still hasn't appeared in the classroom

" Kurumi, where is she? " Tohka seemed to find this odd as well, so she spoke up
Suddenly, there was a voice of retort

" Kurumi...., she won't come " Origami said in a very calm voice

Shidou felt that there was something very strange about this, why would Origami be so sure that Kurumi wouldn't go to school? What does she know?

At that moment a voice rang out, interrupting Shidou's train of thought

" Yes "  said a familiar voice from the back of the classroom

" Kurumi? " Shidou involuntarily said when he saw Kurumi

Kurumi was standing at the back door of the classroom with a warm smile

" Tokisaki-san. You're late " Tama-sensei

" I'm really sorry ma'am. I wasn't feeling well while going to school " Kurumi

" Are you okay? Do you want to go down to the infirmary? " Tama-sensei

" It's okay. I've already made you worry, " Kurumi said, bowing her head, and slowly walked towards her seat.

" Impossible.... " Origami

Suddenly hearing Origami's voice, Shidou turned to look at Origami with a puzzled face

Even though Origami didn't have too many expressions on her face, somehow Shidou knew that Origami was in shock.

And when he noticed in the distance, Rimuru was currently looking at Kurumi with a very serious expression, it seemed like something had happened between them.

Not long after that, Tama-sensei ended homeroom and left the classroom
At this moment, Shidou's cell phone rang
Look at the screen.

Shidou realized that it was a message from Kotori with a very brief content, which was " Let's go to the physics lab during lunch break. I have something to show you "
" in the end, what's going on... " Shidou mumbled to himself confusedly

After a long time, it was noon, the bell rang signaling the end of the class and the students began to prepare for lunch.

" Shido! It's time for lunch! " Tohka said and took out the bento box excitedly

" Sorry, I can't eat with you today. You should eat first " Shidou said and walked out into the hallway.

" Ah... Shido.... "  Tohka called out to Shidou's name with a sad voice as he was left behind by Shidou.

This made Shidou feel an extreme sense of guilt, but had to let it go

Just as he was about to move on, Shidou saw the figure of Rimuru hurrying towards the opposite direction and then entering a hidden corner.

Although wondering, but Shidou didn't have too much time to care about Rimuru's personal affairs, Shidou lightly shook his head and continued walking.

Upon reaching the physics lab, Shidou knocked on the door and then the door opened with a sound

" You're here, Shin " said Reine with a tired voice while on the swivel chair

Beside Reine was Kotori who was currently crossing her arms and sitting seriously
