"Hey, Shido…"

"Shido!…"

"Shido!…"

After eating the whole bag of kinako bread, Tohka visits the stalls one by one.

She asked what food was on that stall while Shido answer her curiosity.

There are many foods around here, such as cotton candy, lollipops, other kinds of bread, and other common street food.

An uncountable amount of food has been consumed by Tohka herself.

Adding the fact that Shido needs to eat with her, the cost of this date could be written on the Guinness book of world records in the category of "Most Costly Date" that ever exist.

Fortunately, Shido is not the one who would pay for this.

…

In the Fraxinus.

Looking at the monitor, Kotori couldn't help but sigh.

The money doesn't come from her pocket but she felt that the salary that she will get might have decreased.

As a girl, she has many needs, especially regarding her lifestyle.

Not only that, but she also has wants that she wanted to buy, be it present or future.

Fortunately, she knows that the leader of the organization behind her is a kind man.

With a sigh of relief, she gives some orders to her crew mates about the managing of their date.

Since earlier, their crew is always on standby to give him some love advice but whenever they wanted to help him by giving some "overall advice" (the one where they vote on the choices) he always rejects it since he knows how f-up the choices to begin with.

Looking at the screen, they couldn't help but to feel rejected because of his not accepting their help, however, they also couldn't help but feel that this job might be fated to him because of how he handled Tohka.

Tohka's affection is full from the start to finish and the only thing that he needed right now is to kiss her.

Since they couldn't help him with the choices, managing their date is the only help they can do.

Most buildings and businesses in Tengu City are part of their organization so it's very easy for them to do it.

…

They continue to eat and talk as they progress in every food stall.

Fortunately, his appetite is the same as hers, if not, then he "might die" from overeating.

Anyway, while their date is ongoing, she still doesn't know what is the real purpose of it, other than that this is a bonding of two people who wanted to enjoy themselves together.

In the end, she didn't think about the logic behind their date and decided to have fun with him.

…

"It's beautiful."

Outside of the city.

At the top of the hill.

The sun was about to set when Shido and Tohka are viewing the whole beauty of the Tengu City.

Holding a kinako pillow, she is holding her hands with him.

The touch of him makes her heart feel fluffy and her face is kinda flustered.

Still, she couldn't comprehend what she feel right now, however, she wanted to have fun with him forever.

Today enlightenment comes to her that not all humans truly want to kill her.

It's just— they wanted to protect this kind of scenery that she always destroy whenever she appears.

Looking at the view, she started a conversation when something unexpected happened.

"Thank you, Shido."

"You're welco—"

*tik tok tik tok

For some reason, she can hear the sound of a clock, as she faces him.

And when it stopped, Shido is already on the floor, bathed in his own blood.

She looks confused since it happened very fast.

But when she comprehends what happened, something breaks in her mind.
