"H-hey…"

"Yeah?"

Shin, who suddenly heard Kaho say something, then looked at her as he waited for her to say something. Kaho right now has a blush on her face as she stutters, but soon she takes a deep breath as she looks at Shin.

"Thank you for helping me today."

"Are you talking about what happened at the cafe?"

Kaho only nodded with a blush on her face as she looked at Shin.

"Don't mention it, I just did what I thought was the best course of action to take at that time."

Shin looks at Kaho with a smile on his face which causes Kaho to look away from his gaze in embarrassment.

"I see…"

Kaho who looks away shows a happy smile on her face as she flustered. Shin, on the other hand, only smiled at her as he was thinking about the feelings that he felt in the cafe back then.

'Love huh… To think I would feel this kind of feeling for more than one girl.'

Shin sighs as he looks at the dark sky while wondering about his feelings. After he transmigrated into this world, he didn't think too much about it since he thought that his new life would be the same as his past life. But never had he expected that the mindset that he had at the beginning of his new life would prove change. He gained all the things that he couldn't get in his past life such as friends, family, emotions, lovers, and also somehow a system.

Shin soon remembers his past life. Back then he once also have similar emotions only to lose them due to the death of his teacher that tought him the art of assassination because he thinks that the emotions that he felt back then would only be a nuisance and will hinder his thinking.

But this started to change in Shin's current life, as he didn't expect that the emotions that he had forgotten back then would start to resurface as he met many important people in his life which made him think about the importance of the emotions that he feels. But of course, the death of his grandpa made him sad, but that doesn't mean he wants to erase his own feelings because of that, because if he did that it would make him the same person his past self was and the only thing that he can do is only run away from the truth.

That is why he has to think about how to deal with Shizuka and Onodera's feelings for him, though he doesn't really know what Shizuka truly feels toward him, which makes him smile wryly as he looks at the dark sky. And as for Kaho, he couldn't help but think that he himself is a bastard who fell in love with two girls in one day, and on top of that, Satou has just become his girlfriend in less than a day, but the only thing he is sure is that the feeling that he felt at that time was not a lie.

"So what time?"

"Y-yes?!"

As Shin walked together with Kaho, he suddenly asked something which surprised her a bit since his question came out from nowhere.

"I mean the time that we will be meeting this Sunday?"

Kaho who heard this question soon calmed herself down as she thought about it. She then responds to Shin with a blush and there is still nervousness on her face when she asks Shin.

"How about 10 in the morning?"

When Shin heard that from her, he thought about it as he recalled that the convention of the game release will start at 1 PM in the afternoon. And if he were to look at both times, there is still 3 hours before the event starts. This makes him think that Kaho deliberately asks him to accompany her for 3 hours before the event starts which makes this a date. When he looks at Kaho he finds she is still staring at him with a nervous look on her face which makes him smile at her.

Shin then said something with a smile as he nodded at Kaho.

"Sure, I don't mind."

"Is that so…" Kaho who heard Shin reply only showed a relieved quiet smile while her smile was full of happiness. Shin who saw her smile was a bit mesmerized by it but soon calmed himself down.

Shin feels that he needs to tell Satou first before his date with Kaho since he doesn't want to hide the fact of what he feels about Kaho herself. If he tries to hide this fact from someone he is dating, the only thing he will feel is a sense of guilt. The only thing he is worried about is how Satou would respond, which he could only hope will end well.

Soon they then talk with one another as they soon reach the point where they split up due to their home having a different path. Shin himself wants to escort Kaho home but was rejected by Kaho since she said that her home is near which Shin only agreed while sighing in a sad look.

Before he heads home he goes to the nearest grocery store that is near his house as he buys all the groceries that he needs for his daily necessities. But of course, he doesn't forget to buy something that is very important to him, and that is Konpeito.

{A/N: Konpeito, is Japanese sugar candy. They come in a variety of colors and flavors.}

Shin not only bought 1 pack of Konpeito but 10 packs of them, which he later put in the cart. As soon as he reached the cashier, the lady in the cashier who already knew Shin very well due to Shin always buying his daily necessities, looked at him with a deadpan look as she could see a lot of Konpeito in the cart.

"Too many Konpeito will give you diabetes you know…"

The lady only sighs as she reprimands Shin which Shin can only laugh wryly, but in his mind, he can only mutter something.

'It's not my fault that I was born with a sweet tooth since Konpeito is so yummy.'

After he bought all the groceries from the grocery store, he then headed home. Soon he reaches in front of a big house that has 2 floors, which is his own house. Even though the house is so big, he is the only one who lives inside.

Shin then opens the front door of his home using his key as he enters his house. As he enters his own house, he then turns on all the lights around the house. Soon he enters his own living room as he wants to put all the groceries in the freezer that is in the kitchen near the living room, but he then stops in a midway walk to the kitchen as he soon looks at a picture that is in the small altar inside the living room.

"I'm home, grandpa."

The picture that Shin just looks at is his grandpa's picture that is surrounded by a small altar. It's already been a daily activity for him to greet his grandpa every time he sees his grandpa's photo.

After the greetings, Shin went to the kitchen and put all of his groceries in the freezer. And as for the Konpeito that is in the grocery, he bought one pack of Konpeito with him and put the rest in the freezer as he went to his room that is on the first floor near the living room.

Shin soon arrived in his room and put his bag on his desk, he then soon pulls out his smartphone as he jumped to his bed while opening his smartphone. The reason why he is opening his smartphone is obvious, he never did go out on any dates in his entire life, which is why he is searching for it in 'Boogle'.

{A/N: Let's just say that 'Boogle' is the another world of 'Google'}

Eventually, he soon thinks that searching in the 'Boogle' wasn't the brightest idea, though he got some idea where to go for the date from 'Boogle'. Soon after closing 'Boogle' he then opens his SNS app as he was thinking he might as well ask some advice, but among his friends, there is no one else who is currently dating besides himself, which makes him weird for asking someone who doesn't have any experience on dating for advice.

Though there is one person that Shin could think of that is more mature among all of them even though his behavior is not at his best. He soon pressed a contact on the smartphone screen as the contact that he just pressed had the name 'Shu' which he could only sigh as he soon wrote a message on it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Shin 7:56 PM - you there?

----------------------------------------------------------

In a minute soon the message that Shin sent was responded back.

----------------------------------------------------------

Shin 7:56 PM - you there? (Read)

Shu 7:57 PM - yup

Shu 7:57 PM - so when will you treat me~

----------------------------------------------------------

Shin, who saw the message that Shu sent, could only show a deadpan as he looked at the message.

----------------------------------------------------------

Shin 7:56 PM - You there? (Read)

Shu 7:57 PM - Yup

Shu 7:57 PM - So when will you treat me~

Shin 7:57 PM - Anyway I wanna ask you something. (Read)

Shu 7:57 PM - … At least don't try to ignore my request for free food~~

Shu 7:57 PM - So what is it??

Shu 7:57 PM - Don't tell me you're gonna ask about your date…

Shin 7:58 PM - Well since you know, let's get to the point… Tell me all the places that the couple mostly spent on dates. (Read)

Shu 7:58 PM - ...You know I don't have a girlfriend right?

Shin 7:58 PM - I know that is why I asked you… (Read)

Shu 7:58 PM - …

Shu 7:58 PM - Fine… anyway here is mostly the place where couples go T_T

----------------------------------------------------------

Shu then massages all the places where couples usually go according to him, which Shin noted all of it. After that, he messages Shu one short word which is 'thanks' before heading outside of his room since he just noticed he hasn't eaten anything or taken a shower after coming home.

Before Shin is trying to head to the kitchen to try to prepare his own food, he tries to turn on his TV with a remote so that he can watch the TV while eating, but to what he didn't expect the TV to fail to turn on.

"Is it the battery?" Shin is wondering about the problem with the remote and soon comes to the conclusion that the remote is out of battery.

Soon Shin goes to the basement of his house where he stores all the items that he usually doesn't need or the items that he usually doesn't use for daily necessity, which is his storage room.

As he reached his basement, he soon searched for the battery for the remote. But as soon as he found the battery for his remote, suddenly a screen panel showed up in front of him.

---------------------------------------

A hidden mechanism has been detected around the current room.

----------------------------------------------------------

Shin 8:01 PM - Thanks.

Shu 8:01 PM - You owe me okay?

Shu 8:01 PM - So when will the free food be ready??

Shu 8:03 PM - Shin?

Shu 8:09 PM - Shin?

Shu 8:13 PM - SHINNN!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------

At that time what Shu didn't know was that Shin would not reply back his message for a while.
