"Sorry, sorry~" Himeko practically sang, her wide grin plastered across her face, "it was hard to resist!"

A gullible young lady and a flustered high(?)-schooler, what a wonderful combination! Even if Nico cottoned on relatively quickly, she seemed the type to be easily taken in by Himeko's words. The day she learned to second-guess every word that passed the shrine maiden's lips would be a sad one, indeed. Little Hanako, meanwhile, seemed to have a low teasing threshold, so Himeko would have to rein it in.

"Not that I would mind having a sister as cute as you, of course!" Himeko addressed the smallest of the trio with a friendly smile, "but anyway, sorry for the bump. As long as you aren't hurt!"

Himeko barely managed to refrain from patting the young girl's head. Her exact age was hard to pin down, but putting that aside, Hanako's demeanour indicated that such a display of affection would have her melt into the floor. Himeko wasn't so mean to do that to her. In public.
