Chapter 240: Intersecting Looks

Earlier that morning, Fumika and Akuma met at the nearest train station to the aquarium. Fumika arrived there first and stood outside the exit. She wore a white, sleeveless dress with a flowing skirt. She had her long black hair tied in pigtails.

As soon as Akuma arrived, she ran toward him and clung to his arm.

"You're late! I've been waiting here, you know?"

Fumika smiled from ear to ear.

"No, I wasn't. You're just too early."

Akuma squinted at her.

"Well, aren't you going to say something about how I look?"

Fumika bashfully looked at Akuma.

"Well, I'm sure a lot of guys will look at you like always."

Akuma answered with a straight face.

"That's not what I want to hear… But if you're one of those guys who will look at me, then I guess it's fine."

Fumika pouted and looked away from Akuma.

"And why are you clinging to me again? You rarely did this back in middle school."

Akuma scratched his head as he stared at Fumika.
