Chapter 77: The Angel and the Promise to go out (2/2)

He thought it would be a bad thing of rumors of that man showed up again, but it would be stupid of him to not go anywhere if he was scared of this little thing.

“So, where are we going?”

“Erm, I-I have not decided.”

“So you haven’t decided.”

“…Because, I do not know, what places you do like.”

“Eh, me?”

“…We have the opportunity to go out together, and I want to go to a place we can both enjoy.”

Can we? Nobody can ever reject her when she tugged at his sleeve and asked while looking up.

Grr. Amane felt suffocated. He looked around, combed his hair up, and sighed.

“…Well, I intend to go along with you anyway. Hm, in that case, there’s a place I want to go to.”

It was an unbearable place to go alone, but Amane wanted to visit it.

“Where?”

“Don’t laugh at me.”

“I will not.”

“…A cat cafe.”

Yes, a cat cafe with lots of kittens.

Amane liked animals, but he could not raise any in his apartment, so he could only read the magazines or see others raise them.

The surrounding stares would be unbearable if he entered the cafe alone as a boy, so he could not.

With Mahiru around, Amane did not have to worry about the stares from others. There would be another kind of stares, but he felt he should be able to relax.

Also, the sight of Mahiru playing with the cats would surely be cute, so he thought, but obviously, he could not voice it out.

“…E-erm, if the two of us, go together, it won’t be that awkward. Can we?”

“O-of course! Then, erm…let us go together.”

“…Oh.”

Amane was grateful and yet embarrassed by Mahiru’s agreement.

He felt his cheeks searing, but he managed to endure it. Once he saw Mahiru looking unconfident, he smiled at her.

“So what are we doing after that?”

“After that, we will go shopping together…ah, I want to go to a game center. I have never been there before.”

As expected, the princess-like Mahiru was interested in a game center, as she had never been there before. In that case, he should bring her there and show her how it was like.

The dolls she liked might be in stock again, and she would be happy to catch them together with him.

“Let’s go there then. Cat cafe, food, shopping, game center. Pretty much.”

“Yes.”

Amane heaved a sigh of relief as they had decided on the schedule to a certain extent. Mahiru lifted her head, her face turned towards him.

“I am really looking forward to it.”

Amane nearly lost his breath once he saw the shyness borne from her overwhelming happiness.

“I wish for the holidays to arrive soon.”

Mahiru whispered, sounding as though she was really looking forward to go out. With a sweet smile, she happily embraced the cushion.

Amane stared blankly at her smile, and then felt his heart pound wildly. “…Yeah.” he answered hoarsely.

The Angel’s sudden attack was very bad for the heart.
