Legacy World 9.22 Their First Date

Days passed.

After the first night, spending time in the same room was less agonising for Hikaru. Although it was the end of the school year with no exams to prepare for, there were other assignments that he had to catch up on. Whenever he was not studying or working, he ate and slept, under Nozomi’s strict supervision.

Once, he tried to complain that it should be the other way round.

“Why?”

“A 16-year-old caring for a 21-year-old... Just tell that to anyone...”

Nozomi coughed and rubbed her nose. “Age is just a number...”

“Not to the law, though.” Hikaru grumbled under his breath as he thought of the things that he would like to do with her once he could.

Unbeknownst to him, Nozomi had genuinely forgotten about her age again.

Nozomi smiled apologetically. “Your recovery’s been tough on you. How about we celebrate your complete recovery with a date?”
