"Oh, Hori is here!"
"Hahaha! Finally! I told you he would come!"
"Damn, Bastard! Don't you dare scare the shit out of us like that again!"
Hori just blushed in embarrassment when he was swarmed by the others. However, a small smile curled on his face, clearly telling that he enjoyed this feeling. The depression was gone from his side as well, and now, he was way livelier than ever.
Of course, he wouldn't escape from the others' teasing. After the conflict was over, everyone took their turn sending him a jab after another, some just tame while the others were a bit too much.
"Come on, Hori! You cannot run away again now!"
"Bah! With your cowardly punch, there is no way you can get rid of us that easily!"
"Come on! You are just like a little girl, crying away so emotionally when you are not involved in the fun!"
