Testing Kyoko's trigger before moving on

Before leaving, he remembered the second part of Kyoko’s trigger. There was no need to test it out, completing more actions took priority because he needed to do it within 12 hours. But his curiosity would not leave him alone.

“Hey Kyoko”, Makoto said before leaving, “You know it’s much better to search while sticking your tongue out”. Makoto wanted to see how far he could go, because to a normal person, this advice would be the stupidest thing they would have ever heard. Kyoko stood up immediately and Makoto got nervous. There was another moment of silence in between them.

Suddenly, Kyoko bowed, “Thank you for teaching me such advanced level methods, I’ll repay you back somehow”. She then got up and stuck her tongue out. “No problem, I’ll give you more tips in the future, so look out for those”, Makoto needed a moment to himself to process what he just. ‘Why did I say that?’ Makoto internally screamed.

Kyoko replied something which Makoto could not figure out what it was. She soon got back to searching with her tongue still sticking out.

Makoto used all his strength to move his body to go find someone else and not stay here to watch the stupid situation.
