"So, w-what have you done t-today?"

Fumika's voice trembled as she uttered the words she wanted to say.

"Nothing much. Just walked around the town. And we went to the hot springs earlier, too. Why are you asking, anyway?"

"B-because I'm curious! And because I really wanted to spend this day… with you…"

Fumika's face turned completely red when she realized what she just said.

"What's so special about today, anyway?"

Akuma furrowed his eyebrows as he waited for an answer.

"W-well, it's just that today is when c-couples usually… A-anyway! I want to go to the hot springs with you, too!"

"You're still so demanding, huh? You always drag me around with your whims…"

Akuma sighed and shook his head.

"It's not a whim! I've always wanted to—"

"Fine, I'll go with you someday or whatever. I'm sure you won't stop pestering me about it, anyway."

"R-really?! You mean what you said?! No take backs, got it?"

Fumika jumped out of her bed.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say."
