Megumi wasn’t the sort of person to be very… enthusiastic. No, he always kept his feelings close to his heart, keeping a stoic front. Somehow, despite his cold and standoffish personality, he had a girlfriend. A childish girlfriend. The pair were like night and day, sun and moon. You’d think it would make them all the more of a match, ‘opposites attract’ as they say, but… sometimes cebollita’s childishness can be a bit over the top. He truly did care for her, but it wouldn’t kill her to take the situation seriously for once.

Like now, for instance. They both were assigned to a mission, a simple ‘search for and exorcise the cursed spirit’. Easy. At least, until cebollita kept goofing off.

His footsteps were quiet and slightly tentative as he tried to bring his annoyance down. No, this wasn’t the time to argue. With a deep exhale, he closed his eyes for a moment before continuing forward. ’Just a little longer,’ He convinced himself, glancing around for any changes in their environment. The forest was rather dim due to the abundance of leaves blocking the sunlight from pouring in, almost giving an eerie atmosphere, but it didn’t bother him much.

Guest, however, was having fun. As usual. She was stepping on fallen leaves for the nice, crisp ’Crunch!’ they’d make. Fall was coming closer, leaves were turning colors, and there was a subtle chill in the air that grew a little more each day. Perfect weather for crunchy leaves, but Megumi had enough of it.

He came to an abrupt halt, grabbing her shoulders to stop her as well.
