Date A Live Encore - Volume 1 - Chapter Pr3

Dating Preparations Case 3: Tobiichi Origami

 
After the practice battle in the base. Once the feeling of fatigue eased from using the personal territory, Origami slowly stood up. In order to remove her battle suit, she made her way towards her locker at a snail's pace. If she had used her emergency clothes changing unit, changing would only be a split second, however that unit would only be used during emergencies, that's because using it results in a massive burden on the brain. Origami would not use it if she could help it.

 
Just as Origami reached her own locker, she noticed that quite a number of her teammates had reached there before her. They were all teammates that had participated in the practice battle just now. Origami lightly raised her hand in greeting, after which she opened her own locker, taking out her clothes and bag. Soon after, her teammates on both sides glanced at her clothes.

 
“Eh? Master Sergeant Tobiichi, it seems like your clothes have been specially picked today.”

 
“Ah, it’s true. Your bag is cute too. ”

 
Origami nodded her head casually.

 
“Today I have a date after this.”

 
As soon as Origami ended her words, the young team members cried out.

 
“Waah, really? Eh—hold on, I thought only Master Sergeant, you would never be conquered by a guy—”

 
“Squad Leader! I suggest that we conduct a check on Master Sergeant Tobiichi's personal belongings!”

 
“Hm, approved!”

 
With permission granted the AST members all crowded around. Although Origami had no intention of hiding her relationship with Shidou. Origami did not make any attempts of resistance at all, she handed her bag over. However after a few seconds. The team members who originally had eyes sparkling with expectations soon had troubled expressions.

 
“U-um... Master Sergeant Tobiichi. This small bottle is...”

 
“It's used to mix inside his food. One drop will increase his energy by a hundred fold.”

 
“Then this liquid that gives off such a pungent odor is...”

 
“In cases of emergency, I'll soak a cloth with that and cover his nose and mouth with it.”

 
“Th-this pair of handcuffs and masking tape is...”

 
“In case I need to use it”

 
“...Then, I'll reconfirm it once more, you are going on a—”

 
“Date.”

 
“...”

 
The AST members all fell into silence. Origami had no idea about the meanings behind their words, she continued to change while tilting her head in wonder.
