The Enigmatic Encounter: Snow Sky Dog's Dilemma

"Hmm! Today, I have another date with Mizuchi Haruka. Honestly, I don't want to hurt two girls at the same time, but my master has assigned this secret mission to me. I'm certain I have to fulfill it, even if it means risking my life." Snow Sky-Dog sighed inwardly with thoughts that only he knew. 

"What are you thinking, snow wolf?" Kurogami Masayuki, the elder brother, spoke up, breaking the suffocating silence in the room where only two godlike beings stood. 

"Oh! Nothing much, big brother! I was just thinking about what to eat tonight!" Snow Sky-Dog smiled and tried to conceal his thoughts from his elder brother. The less people knew about this, the better, including his elder brother. However, it was likely that his elder brother already knew. It was challenging to hide something from a wise deity like Kurogami Masayuki, with eyes that could see through the souls of others. Moreover, Snow Sky Dog, true to Kurogami Masayuki's observation, was not skilled at concealing the truth he wanted to hide. Perhaps his elder brother had only guessed a small part of the truth, maybe he didn't know the entire truth. Both Snow Sky Dog and their master kept this truth hidden from others. If Kurogami Masayuki knew the concealed truth, knew the heavy responsibility that Snow Sky Dog was carrying on his shoulders, he might deeply empathize with him. 

"Do you think it's difficult and wrong to hurt both girls at the same time, snow wolf?" Kurogami Masayuki asked, his eyes shining like the brightest stars in the night sky. Those eyes had never failed in reading the minds of others. 

"Kurogami Masayuki, if you knew the whole truth, you wouldn't say that to me!" Snow Sky Dog replied a bit irritably. He adjusted the collar of his white shirt and spread his wings with snowy feathers like a fan before flying straight into the human world. Before leaving, he gave Kurogami Masayuki a half-mocking, half-teasing remark: "I'm off, I'm going on a date with Mizuchi Haruka. You can stay at home, drink some wine, and ponder the hypotheticals about our master's secret mission and my personality! Good luck!" 

Kurogami Masayuki remained silent, yet his thoughts echoed, "My deductions and Mizuchi Haruka's conjectures regarding the essence of this matter are becoming increasingly assured and persuasive. If that's the case, that snow wolf might be the one to get hurt in this love triangle! Everything is complicated to resolve! Well, I'll go have a few drinks!" 

Snow Sky-Dog arrived in the human world. He landed at an upscale restaurant and entered, informing the server about the reserved seating that Kurogami Masayuki had arranged. He was led to the reserved table and took his seat, awaiting Mizuchi Haruka. Shortly after, Mizuchi Haruka entered the restaurant. Seeing Mizuchi Haruka in a breathtaking white sea-salt dress, Snow Sky-Dog felt like time was slowing down, and after it slowed, it stopped altogether. Mizuchi Haruka gracefully and slowly approached Snow Sky Dog, trying to maintain her charm, femininity, and elegant beauty before him. She tried her best to make this date as successful as possible, creating a perfect impression in Snow Sky Dog's mind. 

"Today, you look beautiful!" Snow Sky-Dog complimented, his eyes still fixed on her alluring fair skin. 

"Thank you, my love! Today, you also look handsome!" Mizuchi Haruka smiled at Snow Sky Dog, her smile casting a spell on Snow Sky Dog regarding his mission and her feelings for him. Faced with Mizuchi Haruka's enchanting beauty, Snow Sky-Dog felt puzzled and wondered, between Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind, who was the most beautiful? Among Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind, who should he "sacrifice" for the challenging mission he was undertaking? 

Mizuchi Haruka gracefully and charmingly sat down, then spoke slowly, her voice like music that mesmerized Snow Sky-Dog but was also enchanted by spells from talented wizards and magic spells. 

"Let's order food and drinks! Don't keep staring at me like that; I'm genuinely shy! How long do you intend to gaze at me? Where's your usual 'cool' style? Did you leave it at home?" 

"Oh... um, of course, beautiful lady, I'll order right now, miss! Today, you look stunning, and it made me a bit confused, so my behavior might seem a bit irrational. It's all because of your beauty; it stirred up a bit of chaos in my mind. I think this is also part of your plan, isn't it, Princess of Flowers?" Snow Sky-Dog spoke with a very low voice as if whispering to Mizuchi Haruka. 

"It seems like you've regained your usual 'cool' style! Congratulations!" the princess said with a sly grin. 

The server brought the food and drinks for both. The date proceeded smoothly in the romantic atmosphere of the restaurant with gentle music, delicious food, and excellent drinks. 

Mizuchi Haruka raised her wine glass and said, "Let's start this evening with a bit of fun, shall we, Snow Sky-Dog?" 

Snow Sky-Dog also raised his wine glass, and the glass caught the sparkling light from the chandelier on the restaurant ceiling, creating a fantastic scene for Mizuchi Haruka's captivating face. 

"That's good too. Your smile has already enchanted me with a special charm, like a spell that even the mind of a powerful deity like me can be enchanted and shaken. Your smile makes me forget all the issues around me," Snow Sky-Dog replied. 

They clinked glasses and exchanged polite gestures. Mizuchi Haruka smiled charmingly and continued. 

"But today, let's not forget the main purpose of this date. I know you are carrying a heavy responsibility, and I want to help you face it, even make your life lighter." 

Snow Sky-Dog looked at her with surprise. 

"How do you know?" 

Mizuchi Haruka nodded gently. 

"I can read people, not entirely, but for those I care about, I can sense a few things. And you, Snow Sky Dog, are carrying a significant burden. I want to help you if you allow me." 

Snow Sky-Dog sighed. 

"I never thought anyone could understand me so much, especially in such difficult times." 

Mizuchi Haruka looked straight into his eyes. 

"Perhaps we can help each other, bringing our perspectives and strengths. Surely, there is nothing that cannot be solved with love and understanding." 

The date unfolded in an atmosphere filled with emotions and understanding. Snow Sky-Dog felt like a curtain in his soul, bearing the pressures of the heavy responsibility he carried, and was slowly being opened by Mizuchi Haruka. This date was not just a meeting between two individuals but also a meeting between three worlds and the challenging responsibilities they were facing. 

Snow Sky-Dog stayed silent for a moment before speaking. 

"Mizuchi Haruka, thank you for understanding me. But this is a huge responsibility assigned to me by my master, so I can't share it with anyone. I think you can help me by placing trust in me. Many think I'm a playboy, but in reality, although I enjoy flirting with beautiful girls like you, I don't want to hurt any girl, and I don't want to love multiple people at the same time unless it's necessary. So, please give me time to resolve this. I can't promise anything, but I think when this is over, I will come back to you, becoming a loyal lover." 

Mizuchi Haruka blinked her enchanting eyes. "Alright, I agree. You promised, snow wolf!" 

"I promise! You can trust me!" 

Mizuchi Haruka rejoiced silently; she thought this date had exceeded her expectations.
