Chapter 1442: Innocent Date (1/2)

Even though Shinobu had told Haru and Jeanne to go on a date, both of them didn't really have that much of a plan and they decided to go to Trifas, considering the situation was quite bleak and that place wasn't that far from their new basecamp.

Haru glanced at Jeanne and could see that she was a bit nervous somehow, so what he needed to do at this moment was to erase the awkwardness between them.

”You know... even though it isn't my first time to be here, it is my first time to see the people in this place, but I can see that there is a lot of difference between this place and my home,” Haru said.

”Oh, what's the difference?” Jeanne asked.

”The people here... how should I describe it... I can feel that they're closer?”

”Closer?”

”In the place where I live, everyone is living in a hurry and everyone is so distant, so this place is kind of new for me.”

Haru somehow remembered the time when he moved to the countryside when he was in elementary school, and somehow his expression turned weird when he thought about his childhood time since he was raped at that time.

Jeanne stared at Haru's expression, wondering why he showed an interesting expression.

Haru realized that Jeanne was staring at him and he quickly shook his head then asked, ”How about you? I mean... your life before you joined the war, was this place similar to your home?”

”My home, huh...”

Jeanne somehow missed her family since after she joined the war, she had never seen her family again so she might be lying if she didn't feel any regret at that time, but then her head was patted which somehow made her comfortable. She looked up and saw him patting her head.

When Jeanne stared at him blankly, Haru quickly said, ”I am sorry... I have just unconsciously....” He knew that he might have done something wrong by making her recall her family, after all, he also knew that probably, Jeanne hadn't seen her family after she joined the war.

”No... no... it's alright...” Jeanne quickly lowered her head, trying to hide her blush on her cheeks since she would be lying if she didn't feel good by his pat since it made her relax somehow.

”Anyway, how about checking out the market? Maybe we can see something interesting there, shall we?” Haru asked.

”Sure.”

Jeanne nodded without hesitation.

Shinobu and Raikou, who were observing their date, were wondering why when Haru and Jeanne were quite awkward to each other there was something that made their date so sweet for some reason.

Haru and Jeanne were looking around the market together.

Haru felt this place was so novel, and he could tell that there were a lot of fresh ingredients.

”Haru, do you want to cook something?” Jeanne asked and there was saliva that was dripping in her mouth, recalling the taste of the food which was made by Haru.

”There's saliva in your mouth,” Haru said with a smile.

”What?!” Jeanne quickly wiped the saliva off her mouth. She didn't expect that she would make a blunder in this place and felt very embarrassed at that moment.

”Do you want me to cook something?” Haru asked.

”We... Well...” Jeanne blushed, but she made a small nod.

”Hmm... we have eaten breakfast after all, how about we have a picnic later in the afternoon?” Haru asked. ”I will cook something by that time.”

”That's a great idea!” Jeanne nodded without hesitation.

”I wonder what I should cook... do you have something that you want to eat?” Haru asked.

”I... I will leave everything to you Haru,” Jeanne wasn't sure what she wanted to eat, considering the food that she ate in her time was quite limited. She ate either bread or potato, and she didn't eat much, considering her family condition and the war on her time caused her country's economy was quite bad at that time.

”Then how about we have a sandwich? It seems that there is a good salami there,” Haru said.

”That's a great idea!”

Jeanne nodded without hesitation.

When both of them bought various ingredients for the picnic later, Jeanne's eyes glanced at the ribbon that was sold by a street vendor. She only looked at it for a second before she continued to talk with Haru, telling him that it might be good to add some strange ingredients.

Hearing such words, Haru realized that this girl had some mischievous side.

They spent their time trying various snacks around the market and hid in the alley where there weren't many people there since Haru wanted to put all the things that he had bought into his zipper storage.

Seeing how a zipper was opened on his hand, Jeanne opened her eyes wide.

”This...?!”

”Well, this is also one of my abilities,” Haru said.

”....It's sure convenience ability.”

It was Jeanne's first time seeing such an ability, after all, and she had to admit that it was so unique that she wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

”It's alright. I know this ability is quite weird.”

”No, that's not what I mean!”

Jeanne panicked, trying to explain that she didn't try to mock
