“…Teio?
How are you here?”
Luocheng was certain he had locked the door.
Had she teleported?
Game-world Tokai Teio had always been able to locate him regardless of where he hid.
Maybe some version of that bug had survived here.
“I got here ages ago.”
Teio grinned.
“I sneaked in while you were showering and hid in the closet.”
She leaned closer.
“Trainer, don’t you think you were really unfair today?”
“You promised to spend the day with me, but half the time you were talking to Seiun Sky.”
“Fair point.”
Luocheng sighed.
“But we were all together anyway.”
“That’s not the same!”
Teio glared.
“I want an explanation.”
“How about another day out?
Just the two of us.”
“That’s compensation for what you already owe me.”
Teio puffed out her cheeks.
“Today’s problem is separate!”
Luocheng stared at her.
This really was the same Tokai Teio he knew—
only infinitely more expressive.
Petty.
Competitive.
Affectionate.
Possessive.
Alive.
After a long confrontation, the tension gradually softened.
Whatever frustration Teio had carried home from the interrupted date eventually gave way to the far more important fact that she was nervous about the race ahead.
Luocheng noticed.
So he stopped teasing her.
“Teio.”
“Hm?”
“Your debut.”
He looked directly at her.
“Do your best.”
“Obviously!”
Teio immediately recovered her usual confidence.
“I’m Tokai Teio!
There’s nothing difficult about a debut race!”
She grinned proudly.
“You keep reminding me.
What, Trainer?
Don’t you trust me?”
“I do.”
“Good.”
Teio raised her chin.
“You only need to keep watching me.
Triple Crown, every race after that—I’ll win them all for you!”
She smiled with complete certainty.
She never noticed the increasingly complicated look in Luocheng’s eyes.
Time passed.
And before long—
the day of Tokai Teio’s debut race arrived.
