The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS/Galaxy)

Chapter 55 Preparations

Shōko POV

Sumire: "Excuse us."

"Excuse us."

The doors opened and we walked in. I felt a tight grip behind me.

"It's okay, Shirabe."

Shirabe: "....."

Hibiki: "Hello, Saegusa."

"It's a been while, Hibiki-san."

I smiled to them. We were currently at the Resistance discussing a few things.

"Oh? Ah...! Hiroto-san, Midorikawa-san! It's been a while!"

Midorikawa: "Good to see you, Saegusa."

Hiroto: "It looks like you've been well."

"Yes...!"

Hiroto: "And you must be..."

Hiroto looked behind me at Shirabe. She instant grabbed tightly and hid her face completely.

"Shirabe... it's okay, you know everyone in here already, right?"

Midorikawa: "Really?!"

Shirabe poked her head out and slightly nodded.

Shirabe: "...Midorikawa-san, Kira-san, Seigou-san, Kudou-san, Raimon-san, and Hirai-san."

Sumire: "You really do know everyone here already..."

Kudou: "Then, you know why you're here today?"

Shirabe gave a small nod.

Hirai: "Sorry that we're not here for introduction today."

Shirabe: "It's fine..."

Hibiki: "Well then straight to business. Do you know what Dragon Link is?"

Shirabe: "Dragon Link...? No, I've never heard of it."

Hibiki: "Is that so?"

Hirai, Hibiki, and Kudou looked at each other.

Shirabe: "...If I'd know about it...I'm sure Dad would have told me. So... I think Dad doesn't know what this "Dragon Link" is either..."

Everyone: "Hm..."

Midorikawa: "It seems we will have to look into this more."

Hiroto: "Yeah, thank you Shirabe-chan."

Shirabe: "...For what?"

Hiroto smiled at Shirabe.

Hiroto: "For taking the time to talk to us."

Shirabe just nodded to him a little uncomfortable. Sumire seemed to notice and clapped her hands.

Sumire: "Now then. If we're done, Shirabe you want some Mochi I brought?"

Shirabe: "Mochi?"

Sumire: "Mhm, follow me."

Shirabe stopped hiding behind me and started walking after Sumire to where her bag was.

Hiroto: "Shōko-san."

I turned to Hiroto and Midorikawa.

"What is it?"

Midorikawa: "Well..."

Hiroto: "Does Shirabe not like us?"

"Ah, that..."

I looked over to Shirabe who want trying some Mochi.

"It's not really like she doesn't like you... but when comes to other adults... she's a little like Kirara-chan."
