"One of these chambers," She turned back to the subject at hand, "has a bullet in it. I'll pull the trigger once. If no bullet comes out, I'll do whatever you want. If no bullet comes out, I'll do whatever you want."

She cocked the gun and you felt Ryota's arms squeeze your body. You felt the fear coursing through his body. You, of course, weren't worried. This was such a Midari thing to do, that you had to top yourself from smiling at her.

"And if the bullet comes out, it blows you inside out." She continued to threaten. "Well? Fun, huh?"

"You're not making a damn bit of sense." The bully's face was nervous and his tone was defensive.

"I don't get it!" She put another crazy face on. "Are you that scared? There's a five out of six chance to screw me! If I was in your place, I'd take you up on it immediately. In your place..."

A blush came over her face and you saw Ryota's face turn to one of confusion. But his arms still held you closely. In fact, you were pressed against his body and found it to be... harder... than Kaede's was.

"That's it!" She yelled. "We switch places!" She held the gun out to the bully. "You shoot! If the gun doesn't fire, just go home. And if it does... I won't be in a position to resist, so you can do whatever you want. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, right?

Then, you felt the air being squeezed out of you by the man clinging to you. He had to be totally ripped, there was no way that someone who was weak could squeeze you this hard.

"The only choice here is to shoot!" Midari growled. "Now!  Shoot! Come on! Shoooooot!"

But the bully wasn't scared, just... weirded out.

"What are you talking about?" He asked, plainly. "Are you stupid?" And then, he stuck his hands in his pocket and walked away. "Man, that killed the mood. Let's go."

"...It killed the mood for me too. Really!" The lackeys followed behind him, no longer in a powerful position.

"Why are you leaving? Show some guts! Don't you want to do it with me?" Midari begged as they left.

Finally, you laughed and Ryota ran over to Yumeko.

"Yumeko, are you okay?"

"Suzui?" She used his last name again, surprising you. "Yes, I'm fine."

"Ikishima." Yumeko walked over to Midari. "Thank you for saving me."

"Yeah..." Midari looked over at you.

"I won't forget this debt." She smiled gratiously. "I'm sure I'll repay you somehow."

"Yeah, thanks Midari!" You hugged the pierced girl. "I'll be sure to repay you as well."

"Aren't you going to Yumemi soon?" She asked you with a frown.

"Once the other thing starts. But I think I have a little bit of time to hang out with someone who saved my friend!" You gave a cute smile to Ryota and Yumeko. "That okay, guys?"

"Yes! We've got to get to the council's debt event anyway." Yumeko gave you a real smile.

"We'll see you tomorrow, right?" Ryota had a light blush as he asked.

"Of course. See you!" And with that, you dragged Midari away.
