My place

His thoughts broke off, feeling a warm hand on his cheek, only to find Sumire standing directly in front of him.

"What is wrong, my dear?" Sumire asked, concerned.

Yuhi couldn't reply and only stared at her, speechless. The way she expresses her concern is truly bad for his heart. Why did she suddenly get close? This is a dangerous distance for them. Before he could express that, however, he felt a familiar sensation on his lips. 

It was a light and brief kiss, but it left him even more stunned than before.

Sumire briefly pulled away with a smile.

"My dear, we can continue this later. So, stay focused now, okay?"

"Y-yeah." Yuhi somehow managed to get some words out. 

"Hmm, I wonder if more people are lurking around. Now that I defeated these five, I am sure the others will try to seek revenge."

Indeed, five people is too little. It's enough for a scouting party, but that means there are more people.
