Chapter 53 - M.D.B 53: Date in the Night Sky (2/2)
”You tell me!” Colleen gave a powerful punch to Saint's shoulder and said: ”You're being satirical, aren't you?”
”…”
Saint did not say a word. Instead, he stretched out his arms, grabbing Colleen's slender waist and holding her in his arms; ”Hold on to my neck.”
”What do you want to… AAAH!” Midway through her sentence, Colleen felt her feet leaving the ground. She held on to Saint's neck as if holding to her life, and wrapped each of her feet around her as she screamed. All of her body, from head to toe, clung to his without a gap.
”You don't have to be afraid; I have been practicing for three days.”
Using Bukujutsu, Saint floated along with her, and whispered in Colleen's ear: ”Trust me.”
”I'm bit afraid! It's just that this is to sudden… aah… AAAAh!!”
Under Colleen's deafening screams, Saint went into the sky while holding her, far away from the roof where they stood. As if carried by the wind, they went through the night sky.
When over a hundred meters high, Colleen finally stopped screaming as she sunk her face into Saint shoulder, even biting him. Then, she shouted in ear: ”Bastard! You couldn't mentally prepare me first?!”
”Wouldn't that be too boring?” Saint said: ”I think you agree that this is a lot more exciting!”
”…”
Colleen frowned, but she had to admit that her lack of preparation as she rose into the night sky certainly brought her an incredible rush….
Saint kept on rising, and then, when around a thousand meters into the air, he slowed down, all while holding on to Colleen. Then, he moved her hands, holding her in a dancing posture: ”This is the place I've chosen for our first date. So, are you satisfied?”
”Humph!” Colleen exclaimed, and lifted her legs, wrapping them around Saint's waist saying: ”Hold me please! I'm going to let go!”
Saint was somewhat puzzeled, and tightened his hands a little and then, Colleen loosened her grip. She did something that, given the way she was screaming earlier was completely unexpected from her; she dangerously took an elastic hair band… and tied her hair when a 1000 meters above the ground!
She could fall, crush her head and bleed to death, but she couldn't let her hair get messed up….
After her hair that was being blown by the wind was tied into a neat ponytail, Colleen put both of her hands on Saint's shoulders, and then said: ”This is called 'Bukujutsu' or something… right? Can you teach me to use it?”
Saint shrugged his shoulders and said: ”I can try, but don't get your hopes up. Bukujutsu consumes too much Ki. With your current levels of Ki, you shouldn't be able to float for too long, and don't even think about flying.”
