Haruhime: "come on, slowpoke you agreed to this last night that we will come to the fair and have some fun." she said as she ran towards food stalls. "This looks appetizing, can I buy one." when she was about to grab the wallet she realized does not have money to buy this food, she turned towards me and gave me a puppy eye look.
Because I know what she looks like without the illusion, she looked like a cute fox wanting to give her some treats. I just signed and brought out my wallet and paying for the food she could fit in her arms.
Joseph: "you do know, you will get fat if you eat all of this junk right." I said while I looked at a funny sight of fox stuffing her mouth with so much food. "Hey, wait, don't run off," I said, trying to catch up to her.
Haruhime looked at me with anger. Before walking off ahead of pouting while stuffing even more food into her mouth. She was eventually coming back to my side with a satisfied look on her face. While we were walking side by side, Haruhime tried her best to slowly inched her hands towards my right hand. When I saw this, I held her hands, while doing that I saw her face turned red as a tomato feeling embers about holding hands.
Joseph: "What you're embarrassed already because of holding hand. The woman that kissed me in front of my family while they were working. And the woman who declared to be my future wife." I said with a smirk on my face.
Haruhime: "You are mean, I was just startled I promised you that I would be on the offense, I'm trying my best not embarrassed my self." she said while she was pouting.
Haruhime started to look around the place while holding my hands, dragging me everywhere she wanted to go. She went towards the shooting gallery; I was going to shoot a teddy bear for her. But instead, she took the gun first and shot all targets and getting the big teddy bear. I looked at her in shock and asked a question.
Joseph: "when did you learn how to use a gun?" I said with confusion in my eyes." The last time we met was three years ago, and you only correctly used charm magic system." I looked at Haruhime for answers.
Haruhime: "When I joined Trinity three years ago, we got attacked by a group of mysterious people who were preventing us from studying a library in Venice. At that time, I was just the archeologist of the group, but because we were attacked, I had my first kill at that same library in Venice, that is also the reason I didn't make it to Agartha to take care of you. After the attack on the library, I already killed several people in cold blood. But because of the attack, Trinity retreated and came back to Agartha." she said after that she started crying hugged me tightly. She looked at my face and touched me around my right blue eye.
Haruhime: "that was when I finally heard that you came back from Antarctica and heard of your suffering when you were there." she suddenly leans her face closer to mine then kiss my right eye. "But when I was there, they told me you already left to New Zealand, after that, I quickly rushed here to meet you and declare my love for you." she wrapped her hands around my neck and brought our lips together. After several seconds of kissing, I reluctantly left her juicy lips. I coughed out loud to make myself calm down.
Joseph: "we should go for more rides." I said while pulling Haruhime along to the next ride.
For the past hours, we went to multiple rides and having fun until the sun is going down. We decided that we would go on a Ferris wheel as a last ride for the day.
I looked out of the window, thinking about telling my story to Haruhime. After a bit of consideration, I bit the bullet and told her.
Joseph: "Haruhime, I need to tell you something, the time when I first step foot in Antarctica." I said with a worried look on my face.
I told her what happened on site-14, about Dr. Shou using me as a test subject for his new creation. And that Dr. Shou gouges out my right eye to replace with a mechanical eye. I also told her how I lost my left arm. Everything that I experience in site-14. While I narrated my own story, Haruhime just stared at me in stunned at what she just heard of my gruesome life in site-14. When I finished my life in site-14, she started crying on behalf of me. She jumped up from her seat and sat on my lap, facing me while hugging me on the neck and cried on my shoulders.
Haruhime: "just like I said before, no matter how much you change how gruesome your life I will always be here for you, I love you, Joseph, always," Without thinking, I got close to her face and kissed her.
Joseph: " me too, Haruhime, I love...." before I could say my feelings, we heard a phone ringing from Haruhime. Not wanting to disturb her, I let her take the call.
I heard the vaguely heard the call. Trinity wanted Haruhime to come back to Venice as they have secured the area, so they wished to their lead archeologist on the job on finding the holy grail. She looked at my direction with a sad smile on her face before ending the call.
Haruhime: ��sorry Joseph, I need to leave to Venice, could you continue what you are going to say to me," she said with a hopeful glint in her eyes.
Joseph: "No, its nothing I will tell you when you come back from the expedition." I said with a sad smile.
I heard a small whisper under her breath, calling me a coward before hugging me again while on top of me.
Haruhime: "then that's a promise then," she said while holding out her right pinky.
When I saw that I hold up my fake hand, which has only two metal claws and looked at her when she saw my left artificial arm, she realized that I cant do pinky promise. I just laugh at her blunder.
Joseph: "I can't do a pinky promise, but I can promise you that I will express my feelings when you come back."
After that day, Haruhime left to Venice to find the lost Holy Grail.
