Chapter 1909 - Unintended Date

On the weekend, even though Asagi pretended that she didn't have an interest, she was quite excited when she thought that she would go out with Haru. She might not go out with him alone, considering Rin would also be with them, but it was alright, or rather, it was better since this way, she wouldn't be that nervous.

Asagi dressed beautifully and waited at the meeting place where they would meet each other. There was still some time before the appointment time, so she checked her appearance on the mirror, which caused Mogwai to sigh, wondering how many times that she needed to check her appearance on the mirror, but it was in silence and didn't say anything since it was afraid she might ask its opinion again, which was pretty much troublesome.

Asagi then closed her mirror and let out a sigh, looking at the clock and wondering whether she had come too early, but it was normal, considering she was coming very early and too excited.

"Asagi!"

Asagi's heart skipped, then quickly turned her head. She then saw him wearing a facemask and also his usual round sunglasses, which caused her to smile.

"You've come so early," Haru said with a smile.

Asagi's face turned red, and she quickly said, "My - My house happened to be nearby, so I came very early!"

'Liar.' Mogwai couldn't help but think after hearing Asagi's words.

"I see… I'm sorry for making you wait, then," Haru said, expressing his apology.

"No, no, it is still early from the appointment time anyway. It doesn't really matter," Asagi quickly said.

"Well, let's wait for Rin, first," Haru said.

Asagi nodded and agreed.

Both of them sat on the bench while talking to each other about it, but suddenly their smartphones vibrated, and they checked it at the same time.

Rin: "Sorry, my parents told me that we're going to visit our relatives now!"

Rin: "Crying emotion.JPG."

"………" Haru and Asagi then looked at each other.

Asagi suddenly felt awkward, and her face turned red. She became timid when she thought that there were only two of them in this place. "Wh - What are we going to do now, Haru?" In truth, she knew that they should go back since their intention to come to the department store was because they wanted to buy something for Rin's relative, but without Rin, such a thing was impossible to do, and they could only go back.

However…

"Well, today is a great day, it'll be wasteful if we just go home now, or do you have a plan after this," Haru asked.

"No, I'm free," Asagi said without hesitation.

"If so, can you guide me around? Even though I've been here for a while, there are some places that I don't know about in the Itagami Island," Haru said.

"Good! I'll guide you around!" Asagi said and patted her chest without hesitation.

"That's great. I'm looking forward to it," Hru said with a smile.

Asagi also smiled without hesitation. She pulled him to show him her favorite places on Itogami Island.

Looking at the hand that was pulling his hand, Haru could only smile but didn't say anything.

Haru and Asagi walked together, looking at various places in Itogami Island while talking to each other.

"You've been here since your birth, Asagi?"

"Yes, I've been here since I was born, which is why I know this island the best."

"That's great."

"How about you? You're from Japan, right? Which part, you're?"

Even though Itogami Island might be a special territory of Japan, it was treated as a different place, which was why the people who were born on the Itogami Island, even though they might talk in Japanese, weren't that familiar with Japan.

"I'm from Chiba."

"Chiba?"

"Well, even though it is a city, it is surrounded by a forest. Overall, it is a beautiful place. If you're free in the future, I'll take you there," Haru said.

"Really?" Asagi smiled and said, "Then I'm anticipating that time!"

As they continued to walk, Asagi's stomach suddenly rumbled when she smelled the smell of the ramen. Her face quickly turned red, especially when she heard his chuckle, which annoyed and embarrassed her. "Ah, Haru, don't you dare to laugh!"

"Sorry, sorry, you're just too cute, after all," Haru said with a smile.

"Cu - Cute!!" Asagi's face was reddened, and she felt happy at the same time.

"Now that you mention it, the smell of the ramen seems very delicious. How about we visit it?" Haru asked.

Asagi nodded without hesitation and said, "In truth, this ramen shop is my favorite place. Let's go there!"

"Okay." Haru nodded without hesitation.

As they talked to each other, Asagi noticed that something and that was she could be herself whenever she was with him, and she didn't need to be afraid to express herself, especially her hobby of eating ramen. As a girl, eating ramen was usually something that they tended to avoid, but she didn't care much and just had a blast with him.

While eating ramen, Asagi thought for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Say, Haru, are you a swordsman or something?"

Haru looked at Asagi and asked, "You're curious about a technique that I used to defeat the demon?"

Asagi blushed but nodded. "You're so strong."

"Thank you, I train very hard," Haru said simply, but if someone knew the truth, they would curse him since he didn't need a lot of time to train those Breathing Technique styles, considering he had "Mirror Neuron," now and it was simply an instant learning for him.

"What's the name of that sword technique?" Asagi asked curiously.

"It's a breathing technique," Haru said.

"Breathing technique?" Asagi was curious, then asked, "Is it alright to tell me this matter?"

"It's alright. It isn't like it is a secret, though, and even if they know, it isn't like they can learn it, right?" Haru said.

"Well, that's true." Asagi nodded since she didn't think that she could learn the Breathing Technique.

"It started with my ancestor from the Sun Breathing Technique. Then it slowly grew into various styles. There is Thunder, Water, Fire…" Haru explained, and somehow it intrigued Asagi since it caused her to learn more about him, or rather she wanted to learn more about him.

After they ate, they continued to walk around while talking to each other, but somehow disappointed, Asagi's eyes darted toward one shop. She stopped for a moment in front of the shop before she let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked.

"No - Nothing!" Asagi quickly shook her head. In truth, she was attracted to the earrings in the shop, but when she saw the price, she quickly became disappointed since she didn't have much money.

Looking at disappointed Asagi, Haru knew why this girl showed such a reaction, but at the same time, he was wondering whether the Island Management was exploiting this girl. Of course, he knew about Asagi, and at the same time, he knew how amazing she was, which was why, he was wondering why the Island Management only paid her a meager amount of money.

"Anyway, let's continue our journey! There are still a lot of places that I want to introduce you to! Let's go!" Asagi said excitedly.

"Oh!" Haru nodded, but his eyes darted on the earrings that Asagi was interested in and made up his mind.

As they continued their unintended date, they didn't realize that they had walked around for the entire day and it was their time to be separated, but before they returned…

"Right, Asagi, here you go," Haru said and gave a small bag of something to her hand.

Asagi was surprised and asked, "What is this?" She was just happy, walking with him, so she felt quite surprised when he suddenly gave her something.

"It's a gift for you," Haru said.

"Huh?" Asagi even became surprised.

"You've guided me to a lot of interesting places, after all. It might not be much, but think of it as my token of gratitude," Haru said.

"You don't need to do this. I'm happy that we can walk together," Asagi said with a red face and wanted to return it, but her hand was stopped by him.

"Just accept it. I've bought it anyway. If you don't accept it, then I can only throw it away since there's no way that I can wear that thing," Haru said.

"Okay." Asagi could only accept, but then she looked at him curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"If you're curious, just open it."

Asagi nodded then opened the small bag, and she was surprised when she saw what was inside. She then looked at Haru and asked, "This is…?!"

"Do you like it?" Haru asked.

Asagi blushed and nodded shyly. "Thank you, Haru." She didn't expect him to buy the earrings that she had been interested in before.

"No problem," Haru said with a smile.

"Ca - Can I wear it now?" Asagi asked.

"Sure." Haru nodded and asked, "Do you need help?"

Asagi nodded without thinking.

Haru then helped Asagi to wear her new earrings, and he had to admit that she smelled really good that he wanted to hug her right away, but he held himself.

Asagi then realized that the distance between them was so close that it made her heart unable to calm down, but at the same time, it was so nice, especially when he touched her earlobes. It was both tickling and enjoyable.

"Done."

Hearing his voice, Asagi then quickly checked her appearance in the mirror then asked, "How is it?"

"Beautiful," Haru said without hesitation and gave her a thumbs up.

"Than - thank you…" Asagi lowered her head shyly.

"Well, should we go back now?" Haru asked.

"Yeah…" When Asagi heard that they were about to separate, she felt quite sad and reluctant.

"Next time, how about we go again?" Haru asked.

"Really?" Asagi was surprised and quickly looked up.

"You don't want to?" Haru asked.

Asagi somehow felt a bit bad for her friend, but she just couldn't help it, alright?

"Um, next time, let's go together again," Asagi said and somehow anticipated their next date… Was it a date? Well, it didn't really matter since she was really having fun with him, and she wanted it to continue forever.
