CHAPTER 18 GIVING HELP

"Still no good. Here take my hand." I'm in the water park right now.

It starts a few days ago after Kanon singing in front of me. Day by day the two us grow closer and she ask me for some help. I for the greater good decide to help her.

And this is where it starts. Kanon can't swim and because there is a new job that requires her to swim she ask me to help her learn.

"So why did you ask me to do this in the first place?" I ask her while swim and play around in the water. She blush and answering, "It's because you are the only person I can ask this without telling anyone."

I can only sigh at her answer. "Yeah anyway thank you for bringing me to water park. Water really is good."

"Katsuragi-kun you are writer right?"

I nod, "Yeah, being a writer is good. The money is definitely good. Today's good too because I can take my time without writing or drawing."

After that, the two of us decide to eat at some nice restaurant.

"This is good huh," I say this while drinking the juice. No wine of course. The age isn't 21 yet.

"Katsuragi-kun. What do you think if I stop to be an Idol?" I cough my drink hearing what she said.

"What?" I ask again didn't clearly get what she said before.

"Like I said what do you think if I stop being an Idol?" This time she said this with a serious face.

"Are you serious?"

"There is much pressure being an Idol you know. The pressure is getting big since the first day I become an Idol. So I usually thinking. What if I stop being an Idol?"

"I didn't think you should do that." She raised her eyebrows.

"Being an Idol. Your fan will be sad if you go you know. And besides... you already made me like your song." I said while smiling at her. She smiles hearing what I just said.

"Then if I'm still an Idol. While you watch me? My show? My singing? My drama?" I nod.

"I will." Saying this I bring her back to her apartment.

The next day there isn't news from Kanon because she tells me that she has practice today.

So because it's the weekend I can start training Komachi.

"You did good." Saying this as she heal my cut.

"You didn't have to hurt yourself just so I can heal you, you know?"

"But it's easier this way. Besides you already know how to heal this kind of thing right? Next, we will test your limit."

"I don't think I'm ready right now to do that Keima-kun." What I have in mind was to cut some of the skin and she will heal me. Not so much as it can kill me. It's not like I will amputate myself. Just peeling off some from my skin.

"You are ready. Come on. I do this for you." Saying this I peel some of the skin. Not hurt too much. And I deactivate regenerative for this training.

It's a bit longer. She needs more than 15 minutes for this. But it's still considered good. She just know her power not to long ago and already use it for the past 2 hours. So it's really good progress at least if you ask me.

"You seem close to Nakagawa-san." Finishing the healing process she ask me to look serious.

I just laugh a bit, "She ask me for some help. I just help her. Why did you ask?" I ask wanting to go away from this conversation.

"It's just sometimes I see you talk to her. So I just want to know." Saying this she didn't look at me in the eyes.

"Oh, is that so? Well, I just help her sometimes. There is nothing there. Beside... I have someone I love!" Saying this I laugh.

But it seem she didn't appreciate what I said, "Who? Who is that?"

"Se-cr-et!" Saying this she punch me making me laugh at her act.

While in my mind there is just one thing, 'I'm sorry Komachi. I can't tell you what I feel until my job is over. I'm sorry.'

The two of us just continue her training after some rest.

I too train to summon weapon or anything from the gate.
