「Woooow, it was so much fun! Thanks, Natsuno-kun.」
Aoba’s face shone in satisfaction.
「It’s my pleasure. But, it’s just the same thing we did before though.」
He remembered their time in the trailer car when they went to the hot springs.
The rickshaw was a pulled car as well, so in a sense they were the same.
For Taiyou the same thing happened, but it was completely different for Aoba.
「It’s totally different, hee hee hee.」
She laughed happily, as she passed by him with a smiling face.
He didn’t think she’d be so happy about a little thing like that.
If that makes you this happy we’ll do it again…is the word he let stay in his mouth when they finished with the rickshaw.
While she was so happy, she put her arm around his and held it close.
As she was clenching her arm around his, he could feel shapely breast push into him through his clothes.
It was such a strong sensation it made him huff quickly through his nose.
Taiyou had a lecherous look on his face, and Aoba stuck to him whether she sensed it or not.
They walked and mixed in with the other tourists staying just like that.
「Hey, Natsuno-kun, this is kind of like a date. No, it is a date.」
「Yeah, it is.」
Taiyou nodded, and suddenly remembered something.
「That reminds me, we’ve never been on a date until now.」
「Never?」
As Aoba clasped onto his arm, she looked up at Taiyou with a surprised face.
「Yeah, a long time ago…we did, but since we met Kotone, Kohaku and the rest we really haven’t had a date. Just everything keeps happening to us, and we never had a time to.」
「But, Akiha said that she went on a date with you, right?」
「Your friend’s lovely magician, huh?」
He remembered her while wearing a strained smile.
Aoba’s best friend Akiha Aoyama, that strange girl that every chance she got would call everything “Awesome!”
Of course he never dated her, but he did remember that she often demanded that she did.
「That was more of a chance affair…a coincidence. It wasn’t even close to a date.」
「Is that so? Ah, didn’t you play a game though? Natsuno-kun, you’ve always been a real video game lover.」
「A game? Oh, thaaaaat.」
He remembered playing the first widespread love-match cellphone game.
It’s true that some people saw that as kind of a date, but compared to the date happening now it seemed more like a strange elementary-school kind of date.
On the other hand, he responded to her question with an immediate no.
「I never played that game. I love RPGs, and I only play games where you can level up like crazy. I won’t play any game that doesn’t have a lot of stat values.」
「You’re right…well, then this is the first date.」
「Yup.」
After he nodded, he suddenly felt excited.
The first date.
As they walked excited and with hearts pounding, he realized that this first date was this one with Aoba.
There were the four ‘daughters,’ and though there was probably more that regular and extended kisses, knowing that this was a first date made his heart pound.
They came up to an intersection, and stopped at the red light.
When they stopped Aoba stuck even closer to him.
He could clearly feel his arm seem to squeeze deep into Aoba’s firm breast.
His heart now seemed to pound like crazy now.
「Oh, that’s cute.」
Aoba remarked in a high voice about a Western family in front of her.
The husband and wife stood together, and the wife was carrying a small baby in her arms. The baby peered over the wife’s shoulder and was a brown-eyed child, who was innocently smiling in Aoba’s direction.
「Peeka-boo! Peeka-boo!」
Aoba played peeka-boo with the baby. The baby giggled and laughed gleefully.
The mother noticed and turned around, looked at Taiyou and Aoba, and said to her baby,
「Konnichiwa!」for the baby to repeat.
The baby heard it and screamed,
「Chiwa!]
And after saying that somewhat close response, went back to giggling on his own.
「Oooooh.」
Aoba clung to Taiyou’s arm once again, squinted her eyes and made a long sigh.
「So cute!」
She said.
「Yeah, really cute.」
Taiyou did think the kid was cute, although maybe not as much as Aoba.
While they were waiting for the stop light, and as they crossed the street to the other side, Aoba kept the baby’s attention.
「Babies are so nice.」
「Yeah, they are.」
Aoba said no more, just squeezed his arm into her chest again.
Even though nothing was said, something affected her heart more than a lot of discussion.
Not only was she clinging to him with her arms, but even her fingers gripped him.
There’s no way her feelings weren’t felt by Taiyou.
(A baby…)
Taiyou pondered this all inside his heart.
She imagined something that calmed her, made her smile, and just seemed to make her happy.
