Date

Next day.

As per Tohka and Shido's arrangement, they decided to go out and have a date today.

The weather is quite humid but that is because they are in the middle of the sea of people, where food stalls are taking over this street.

"It's better for her not to ask me anything."

Looking at the crowd, he murmurs while leaning on an electric pole.

Yesterday, like the one he had done to Tohka, he put a command on Kotori's surroundings.

She has been always a curious one, followup by her status as a commander, she will never stop to ask until she knew the origin of a story.

Well, there are some times that she isn't like that because she is smart and could read a mood of a person.

Anyway, the meaning of "her surroundings" is not only in the house but also in the airship and her school.

Excluded their house and the school, Fraxinus might have their advanced technology, consisting of science and magic, to make their airship invisible but they couldn't hide it from the eyes of a being who can be described as equal to a god.

"Shido, what are these? what are they? what are they? what are they?…"

While Shido is having thoughts, Tohka excitedly but also irritably shouts while looking at the windows of a shop.

He look up and saw the shop named "Sweet Bakery".

Looking closely, her eyes are full of twinkle-like stars in the night sky.

Earlier, while Shido's thought is not present, she has been looking around the stalls.

One item immediately caught her attention.

Since this place is full of food, it's very obvious what caught her attention.

As you can tell, the name of the store is "Sweet Bakery", which means it's a bakery store.

Many loaves of bread are displayed on the food display case but only one piece of bread caught her attention.

At the first tray, some brown loaves of bread are sitting there.

Immediately, Shido tells what kind of bread it is.

"Oh! that, that is kinako bread."

"Kinako bread? Wait! is this the one you tell me last time?"

"Yes."

"I want to try it! I want it!"

She is now like a kid who begs her mother to buy her something.

Looking at this scene, many strangers catch a glimpse and thought how cute a couple they are.

"Okay"

He look at the seller and said "Can I have a bag please?"

The seller willingly answers him.

"1,000 yen."

"Here."

He gives his money while taking a bag of kinako bread then he gives it to Tohka.

Just from the smell, Kinako bread already captures the stomach of Tohka.

"Thank you, Shido!"

"You're welcome."

Then she takes a bite.

Her satisfaction is showing on her face.

She almost got choked but he has water that he immediately buys and she immediately drink it.

"You're a savior! Thanks!"

Then her eyes suddenly look up and she starts to think.

"So this is a date, right?"

"Well, yes but there is more to it."

"Really? Then let's continue!"

She cheerfully pulls his hand as they walk around the city.

Despite her cheeky attitude, he can feel her hands trembling.

Having many humans beside her can bring great turmoil to her, however, Shido's existence made her want to face the fear that she slowly take over right now.

Despite that, Shido knows that he needs to be killed today.
