"Shuu, stop it!"

Jun and Kame tried to pull her off of me.

But perhaps their combined strength was too much to handle,
because the sheer force of the pull resulted in Shuu suddenly rolling backwards
and crashing headfirst into the boys.

"A-are you okay?"

I asked worriedly to the three 

who were now spread out all around the grass.

Judging from their starry eyes and red foreheads...
they might be feeling dizzy from the impact.

The three of them hesitated 

before responding with a half-conscious 'I'm...okay...'

                        Obviously, they weren't okay!

"Geez...don't play like that anymore." 

I scolded them for their behavior.

"Yes, 'mother'..."

They responded obediently.

...'Mother?'

And at that moment,
we all burst into laughter once again.
