"What does this flower means?"
"Er… The- the sun is always s.h.i.+ning when I"m with you," she finally said. Her answer was what she really felt that moment. To her, Sei was like the sun every time the sky turned gray for her. And she just wanted to tell him that. That was why she decided to defer her plan for the mean time.
Truth was that she bought the daffodil for her to use as props in executing the next step.
"Step #20; pique his interest/ leave him wondering"
Hinari advised her to never spill the bundle all at once as if there"s no more tomorrow. She also stated; "leaving your man wondering just how much you like him or just how much you care will make the show running forward. And as I"ve said, mysteriousness is seductive, don"t just spit it all out mindlessly, leave the person slightly uncertain about the extent of your feelings. You have to keep your alas hidden until the perfect time to strike arrives. But of course, never forget to drop obvious hints from time to time and never stop moving forward."
Initially, Davi was supposed to execute both step number 19 and 20 when she reaches home, but, the appearance of that person ruined the plan.
Worse was that, step number 19, the art of slipping back unannounced, was obviously executed by Sei instead. He appeared out of nowhere and saved her at the time she needed him the most, even acting as her personal superhero. And eventually making her failed herself to execute her mission.
Thinking about it made Davi was imagining a scene where the two of them were having a race and she was about to win but Sei suddenly overtaken her. And it was a thought that instantly made her heart burns.
What is this? Sei, are you trying to seduce me instead? I"m supposed to be the one doing this to you!
Shortly after that, they finally left and on their way to Gray mansion, Davi was quietly encouraging herself.
No worries. No worries. I"ll just have to redo 19 and 20 again when the right time comes. Just you wait Sei, I won"t definitely let you get ahead of me.
Meanwhile, Sei was staring at Davi when she suddenly glared at him as though she just had a sudden thirst for his blood. That moment, Sei instantly froze. That was the first time she ever seen her glared at him like that. He was painfully confused, at the same time, he suddenly felt a certain strange feeling that was almost close to fear. Fear that he might have made her hated him. Why? Could it be that…
"Do you hate my appearance?"
Sei"s voice were somewhat cold and sad and the moment she heard him, Davi couldn"t help but felt perplexed. And she instantly shook her head multiple times.
"H-huh? Of course not. Why should I hate such good looking face?" She immediately answered as she looked at him with confused eyes.
Seeing the sudden change in her expression and her puzzled face convinced him that it must have been some misunderstanding in his part.
"Is it fine with you?"
"Of course is it." Davi was still puzzled with his questions, however, she then realized that Sei must"ve been just trying to consider her feelings about him disguising himself. Thing that somehow made her smile and so she started moving closer to his face.
"Ca-can I touch it?" she asked and without saying a word, Sei moved his face closer to her and he let her touched his face.
The girl then started caressing his cheek as if she was trying to feel it whether it was just like human flesh or not. Afterwards, like a curious little girl, she started poking his face all over, not realizing that the man had been stiffened the moment she touched him.
