Even if it"s her, waking up with Haruka beside her every day is a bit nerve-wracking. They did it again, though she more or less guessed it was going to happen with the flow of things. Who would have thought that their relations.h.i.+p would take such a huge turn? No no, it isn"t a huge change or anything it was going to happen and considering their age it"s normal isn"t it?Besides for the longest of time, Lila had a feeling that he had been holding himself back. He"s always been very kind that way after all. Although, it doesn"t change the fact that he"s a pervert ... He"s been holding himself back after the first time. She said it so casually to Kasumi before, but even for her, it"s not that simple.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Lila! Here here!" Her thoughts broke off upon spotting Miu, wearing a pink top with ruffled, three-layer sleeves coming in cherry, yellow, and dark purple. The white scallop-shaped collar has a single red bow sewn to it. Attached to the dress is an orange jumper skirt with a cover, sparkle, and sprouting leaf design all over it coming in pale yellow, orange, purple, yellow, white, and dark cyan.
Sewn to the left strap is a gold and green clover badge — gold shoes with a s.h.i.+ny red and white bottoms. A single midnight blue b.u.t.ton is sewn to the side of each shoe. Comes with white knee-socks with a floral design on each leg, along with a red cuff with tiny dotted lines on it.
Kasumi wore a plain pale pink top and brown pleated long skirt.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Lila felt Miu and Kasumi stare at her for a few minutes, " Even though it"s just a shopping trip, she dresses up fancy."
"It"s the power of love."
Fancy... Lila recalled that she was still wearing the peach-colored dress before her cheeks colored. "That"s not it. I was at a souriee this morning; you can ask the other two later." A souriee she went to without telling Haruka. It was a good thing he didn"t notice.
Yet the two weren"t listening at all. Really, whenever they get into the topic of love, they always end up this way. Even so, dressing up..elegantly because of Haruka. Lila couldn"t deny it although they couldn"t speak with each other in other events.
But she knew he would be there and did her best to dress up for him. This sort of feeling, it is somewhat refres.h.i.+ng. It"s almost like when they first started going out with each other.
"Perhaps your right."
These past few days, she has felt an overwhelming source of happiness in her heart.
Kasumi smiles, " Yeah."
"That"s nice," Miu agreed with a nod.
.....
"Look look, Lila, I got a fan with Kon from DARTS on it," Miu exclaimed holding a yellow fan out with a picture of a secolored haired boy with violet eyes.
"I received a belt from Great Hanzo."
Her sweatdropped at her two companions, their tension is on high mode max. It"s been two days since then, and since it was an off day, the three of them decided to go shopping around town. Or more like it was Mari who made sure she wouldn"t book any work, well she supposed it was alright this way.
"Hey hey, Lila do you have a favorite singer?" Miu asked curiously.
Favorite...
She finds her gaze darting up towards a poster of a certain blonde head girl, "Sophia?" Lila wasn"t answering Miu"s question, but merely looking at the poster. She hadn"t realized how famous Sophia was before.
"This was the person competing with you in London, right?"
"Sort of," Lila mumbled. They didn"t directly compete, so Lila is curious.
Since she sings for that company, does that mean their enemies? When she heard the details from that person at first, she was somewhat skeptical. But even Kiryu told her to be wary around the girl. She hasn"t seen Sophia much at all since they came here. It"s natural since the university campus isn"t exactly close despite it being on the same grounds. There"s a joint conference soon, and that"s why Haruka hasn"t announced his leave yet.
Once they left the store, they turned to the next street. "Hey, hey. Where are we going next, and what will we buy?" Miu said excitedly. The girl was bouncing around happily.
"Haven"t you already gone over your budget for today?" Kasumi said. Out of the three of them, Miu was the one who bought the most.
"It"s fine, it"s fine. Benefit"s of being rich," Miu said, waving around her platinum credit card.
Oh dear, she doesn"t have any restraint, she"s already carrying so many bags. Well, at least they"re filled with actual belongings and not just candy. When s.h.i.+chiro heard they were going out to town today, he instructed her to ensure that Miu avoids eating too many sweets... But, Lila recalled the several sweet shops they pa.s.sed along the way. It was mission impossible.
Lila"s thoughts fell short when she saw somebody familiar in the pa.s.sing by store windows.
"Ameno-senpai!"
Kasumi too spots him, " Oh your right; he seems to be in the middle of his meal."
Miu made her way to the window and pressed her face against it, "Hamburger. I want to eat some too."
Her and Kasumi exchanged exhausted-looking expressions, oh dear. Now she knows why s.h.i.+chiro refuses to let her out of his sight.
Ameno who saw them too merely laughs and waves them inside.
Upon entering, Lila automatically noticed the atmosphere of the shop. " There"s such a nice atmosphere here, " she said, taking a look around. Unlike most cafes, these days, the furniture used here was moderate and simple.
"It looks like a shop that would appear in American movies," Kasumi commented. Indeed, the place was nothing like an average j.a.panese shop. The wooden counters and chairs, the round table with a checkered patterned table cloth and a piano in the corner. Even the food was served in a little basket, that seemed to fit everything neatly inside.
"But, I don"t think brother fits in," Miu said.
Ameno sweatdropped, " You may say that, but I"ve been coming here since I was a kid."
Since he was a kid? They thanked the waitress who placed three other hamburger sets in front of them. " Oh, you used to come here often? You should have taken me."
"Sorry, sorry, my bad."
It seems things aren"t awkward between them now. Thank goodness, for awhile she was worried, but it looks like they can talk to each other normally. Still, Lila saw a clouded gaze on Ameno"s eyes. She understood it right away; he must have come here when he wanted some peace. " I can see it. You probably grew up eating junk food. So much for being health crazy," Lila commented.
"Right!" Miu exclaimed.
"Says the one who grew up eating candy as regular meals," Ameno trails of as the three of them burst into laughter. " Speaking of which, I heard rumors about a song Kiryu is writing for you, Lila?"
"Yes," Lila nodded. "The details are very vague for now, though."
"Hmmm, I see. You haven"t asked me for help yet, so I thought things were going well."
"Don"t be conceited; I can handle a song without you."
"Booo," Ameno faked his tears, "The little lady doesn"t need me anymore."
"Yes, yes. Shouldn"t you be practicing? What on earth are you doing here?"
"Like yourself, I"m taking a break. So, where"s your boyfriend? Doesn"t he normally stick to you like glue?"
Lila rolled her eyes at that comment, "He said he would come later. He has an event fir," she paused when she saw her phone lit up. Lila picked it up, and her gaze softened.
From Haruka
Dying of boredom
Where"s my pretty wife when I need her?
She giggled what an idiot. Lila quickly sent a reply, but this exchange didn"t go unnoticed.
Ameno spares a glance at her before his face broke out into a grin, "Yup yup, it seems like you two really have sorted it out."
Eh? What is he talking about? Lila waited for additional comments, but Ameno didn"t say anything. She supposes this is like him; he"s always been very mysterious about everything.
"Little Lila, your hair came loose." Indeed her hair which she tied to the side to hide the markings was now visible.
She could feel her cheeks turn bright red as she hurried up to fix her hair. But unfortunately her bobble came loose, what does she do? Walking around like this isn"t a good idea.
Ameno stood up, " Alright then, leave it up to me."
After 10 minutes Ameno finished, and she found her loose black hair was now curled at the ends, clearly making her hair more bouncy and thus adding volume and thickness. Lila stared at herself in the mirror in amazement, " It"s wonderful, thank you, Ameno-senpai."
"No problem."
The two who were quietly discussing another matter suddenly looked over.
"Ah, so when Agehsama meant Ameno is handy to have around..."
Kasumi casually took a sip of her tea, " It"s for the manual labor aspect."
"You two!"
Lila"s gaze softens, somehow it"s been a while since she has last seen this scene. Recently it seems as though Kasumi has been under a lot of pressure since the beasts under her command escaped. But her gaze lands on the two now engaged in their usual conversation. Kasumi is smiling now. Although they somehow managed to get past all their differences. Lila knew full well that they all still have a long way to go before they achieve true harmony with each other.
