When Rachel heard what Alex said, she finally remembered what they were talking about yesterday. Alex did indeed tell her to go with him back in his mansion. She who finally remembered that one little detail stood there in front of Alex with wide eyes.

Lilitth who heard this new piece of information for the first time was also shocked, but after a short thought, she quickly adapted to the situation.

”Rachel nee-san is going to live with us?” Lilitth looked at Alex with her round innocent looking eyes.

”Yes, just until Instructor Dan comes back.”

”Yay! We'll have so much fun Rachel nee-san.” Lilitth suddenly hugged the stunned Rachel.

”Um... Ah... Fine.” Rachel couldn't contradict that cute little thing, so she reluctantly agreed.

”Give me one day to prepare, I promise I will go with you tomorrow.”

”Do you want me to stay here for one more night, just in case something else happens?”

”There's no need. I'm sure after last night, no one will try today. Even if someone did I'll make sure to call you. So go home, don't worry I'll be safe.”

Alex didn't want to leave Rachel's side but if he pushes himself while she was like this, she might not agree to come home with him.

”Alright then, I'll wait one more day before bringing you home.” Hearing what Alex said made Rachel blush, but she knew that there was no deeper meaning placed into that statement.

Lilitth released Rachel from her hug and waved goodbye.

Alex was obviously not going to leave Rachel alone in this kind of situation, also the person he called hasn't arrived yet. So he needed to keep an eye on Rachel, not by cameras he was going to camp out and watch her from the nearby empty house that he rented just case something like this happened.

As Alex was thinking about a lot of different things, he suddenly remembered the day his parents died. He couldn't understand why these memories suddenly resurfaced while he was thinking, but before could even blossom into a thought he pushed it back into his subconscious.

'Not yet, I need to hold it in.' Alex has tried for a very long time, but something he hid inside himself was trying to come out, but he wasn't ready for it yet.

...

Oliver who had separated from the group minutes ago was now heading towards the coffee shop Sayaka was talking about. He was pretty nervous as he walked towards the shop. His usual confidence was nowhere to be seen as his hands started to sweat.

He didn't know what Sayaka's answer was going to be, but no matter what she decided he would understand and go with it.

When Oliver got in view of the coffee shop he saw Sayaka being surrounded by some boys. Sayaka seeing the approaching Oliver waved at him.

”Oly you're finally here.” The boys who were trying to flirt with Sayaka wanted to see what kind of guy, she was waiting for. Since they had the superior numbers they wanted to scare the guy a bit and take the girl.

Yet the moment they turned around and saw Oliver they were surprised by his physique. They were thinking that seeing as Sayaka was wearing a high school uniform the guy she would be with was also in high school, but seeing that muscular man they got confused. Then they saw his uniform and were surprised to know that he was in high school as well.

Sayaka happily approached Oliver and took a hold of his right arm. ”I've been waiting.”

”Sorry about that. So who are these guys?” Oliver pointed at the three boys bothering Sayaka.

”Oh them, I'm not sure... But I think they were saying that I should ditch you since you were a spineless weakling or something like that.”

When the three boys heard what Sayaka said to Oliver, they didn't defend themselves and started running without looking back.

”Want me to chase them?”

”No, they're not worth wasting our date time.” Sayaka said with a bright smile on her face. Oliver who once again remembered that this was a date, felt like his back was sweating.

”Umm... Oh... Yeah, you're right. But before that our, you going to answer me now?” Oliver gathered his courage and once again asked.

”Don't worry let's do this first, and once we're done, I'll give you an answer.”

”Ok, so what are we going to do first.”

”First we're going to have something to eat, and then I'm going to do some shopping.” Sayaka happily pulled Oliver to the coffee shop.

...

Sayaka ordered some coffee and pasta, while Oliver just had some coffee. While Sayaka was eating she suddenly spoke.

”So Oly, tell me when did you know that you love me?” When Oliver heard this question, he almost spat out his coffee, but he was able to hold it in. He knew that Sayaka was going to ask this at some point, so he had an answer prepared. Well, the answer was going to be the truth since he couldn't really think of what to say.

”Actually I just thought about it when Kei was trying to say something to you. When it looked like you would be taken away by him, something within me started to scream. Then I started to imagine you going out with Kei, which made me want to punch him in the face.”

Hearing that kind of answer from Oliver, made Sayaka giggle. Since he was being so cute at this moment.

”I see.”

Hearing Sayaka say just two words, made Oliver a bit anxious.

...

After they were done with their coffee, Oliver and Sayaka headed to the mall. ”So what are we going to do next?”

”As I said a minute ago, I'm going to do some shopping. The first item in the list is some clothes.”

While the two of them were waling Oliver was surprised when they finally arrived at their destination.
