Chapter Sixteen - Happiest I've been

It's been six months since my first tower raid. For the past half a year I've been attending university and fighting in S-Rank Dungeons, I've also cleared 5 levels in The Tower with Savion, Victor and Sophie. I've also been getting weird visions.

I'm.. in hell and all I can see is a man who seems to be a Demon leading an army and smiling and looking down on me which sends dread to my heart. Maybe it's Lucifer, the last time I encountered him was right before I came back to earth, I knew if I had fought I would've died instantly. I feel like this vision is going to come soon, like the system is warning me. I have to do something, I don't know what but.

*Ring* *I pick up my phone and see a text from Todoki.

Todoki: Hey

*Immediately, all dread is lifted from my heart.*

Madaren: Hey, what's up

Todoki: Just wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out, I want to tell you something

*my heart starts beating*

Wait, why am I nervous? I mean we hang out alot anyways. It's probably nothing.

Madaren: Sure! That cafe again maybe?

Todoki: Definitely, pick me up at three.

Pick her up? We usually just meet at the Cafe, maybe it's just nothing

Madaren: See ya.

Todoki: Bye.

I'm nervous but really excited too. I can't wait.

Next Day

*I knock on her door and she opens it*

Madaren: Hey-

*I look at her dress and I'm blowed away from how cute she looks*

Madaren: Y-You look great!

Todoki: I-i do?

Madaren: Yeah

Todoki: Thanks, you too.

Madaren: Let's go

*We take a nice stroll through park and walk in silence*

This is nice, it's not awkward at all, just peaceful.

*I look around the park and see kids playing and birds flying around*

Todoki: Isn't this nice?

Madaren: Yeah, it really is.

*While we walk I subtly grab her hand as soft as I can, I can see her blushing at the corner of my eye*

Why am I sweating? I went to hell twice and fell in a pool of lava and not once did I sweat at all.

*We arrive at the Cafe, and we find a table and sit down*

Madaren: Cinnamon bun?

Todoki: You know me so well.

*We laugh*

Daki: Hey guys

Madaren: Hey, Daki

Daki: Same as usual?

Todoki: Mmhm

Daki: I see you two are back here again.

Madaren: Just shut up already *We laugh*

The waiter who serves us is a mutual friend at university.

A nice brown haired girl named Daki.

*Our order arrives*

Daki: Enjoy.

Madaren: Man, I could never get tired of this.

Todoki: *mouth full of cinnamon bun*

U can Sah tha agan.

Madaren: You should really swallow.

Todoki: *Takes a sip of her mocha and swallows* Sorry, I Just couldn't resist.

*We chuckle*

Madaren: Didn't you say you wanted to tell me something?

Todoki: L-later not now.

Madaren: Oh ok.

Todoki: You'll probably spit out your coffee.

Madaren: Is it bad news?

Todoki: No, I don't think so.

Madaren: Oh man, I'm sweating now.

*Me and Todoki continue the conversation for about 20 minutes before we leave. We are walking through a popular shopping ward, I see a arcade*

Madaren: Wait! Can we go inside

Todoki: I'm not your mom dude, do whatever you want.

*I grab Todoki's hand and rush inside*

Todoki: Ow!

Madaren: Sorry I'm just excited

Todoki: *Blushes* don't worry about it.

*We go around the arcade and try out different games*

Oh! That game where you hit the thing with the hammer*

Madaren: Let me try! *I grab the hammer and hit the target holding back so I don't destroy the entire ward, the machine breaks and sparks go everywhere*

Todoki: W-what!

Madaren: Shit let's go.

*I grab her hand and run out of the arcade before the people come and gather around the broken machine*

Madaren: I'm sorry about that.

Todoki: *Panting* Y-you know I'm not a hunter like you right.

Madaren: Y-yeah

Todoki: So please stop running so damn fast.

Madaren: Sorry.

Todoki: It's fine, what rank are you anyways.

? Are you telling me she hasn't even seen me on the news?

Madaren: Y-you don't know?

Todoki: You haven't told me yet.

Madaren: W-well.

Todoki: It's fine if you don't want to share.

I could cry from happiness.

Madaren: Anyways, it's pretty late, I should walk you home.

Todoki: Y-yeah.

*We begin our walk back, and I grab her hand again*

Todoki: *Startled*

Madaren: What's wrong? I'll take my hand back-

Todoki: N-no it's fine. I was just a little startled.

Madaren: O-Okay.

She looks so cute .

*About halfway she stops*

Todoki: Remember when I said I had to tell you something?

Madaren: Y-yeah

*My heart is beating out of my chest*

Todoki: Well… I like you, Madaren.

Madaren: L-like me how?

Todoki: I want to be in a relationship with you, and if you don't we can stay friends.

*I pause for a moment, and my heart is beating so loud you can hear it a mile away*

Todoki: I'm sorry don't mind me-

Madaren: I like you too, Todoki.

Todoki: H-huh?

Madaren: Let's be together, like you said.

Todoki: You mean that?

*I grab both of her hands and look deeply into her eyes*

Madaren: I do.

*Todoki's entire face is red, Suddenly she kisses me*

! I wasn't expecting that. But.. It's kinda nice.

*I pull her in and put my hand on her cheek, eventually we pull back.*

Madaren: t-that was nice.

Todoki: Y-yeah.

*We continued our walk back to her house hand in hand and with smiles on our faces. we arrive*

Todoki: Thanks for today.

Madaren: I should be thanking you.

Todoki: I'll see you soon

Madaren: Bye.

*She closes the door and I walk back home*

I should probably just omnidash back to my house but I want to take the time to think… *my face is red* Ahhh, today was the happiest I've been in a while.

Todoki: *Thinks* Oh my god! He said yes. I can't wait to see him again! Today was the happiest I've felt in a long time.
