Episode 5: The Date

After the attack by the Mantis monster, Aizakawa escorted Mialethra home.

On the way, Mialethra spoke up:

> "Thanks, Aizakawa."

Aizakawa smiled and replied:

> "Yeah, I had a feeling you were being targeted."

Mialethra nodded,

> "Oh… no wonder that monster kept going after me."

Deep in his heart, Aizakawa thought:

> ("Because you are the descendant of my 9,999 past lovers…")

> Narrator/Creator explains to the audience:

"Evros once had a single wife, who was killed by Kagelapan.

After murdering her, Kagelapan took her soul and transferred it to a new body—creating Evros's next lover.

This cycle repeated, again and again, until the 9,999th.

It was all part of Kagelapan's twisted plan to torment Evros forever."

Suddenly, Aizakawa remembered something and asked:

> "Hey, Mialethra… are you free tomorrow?"

Mialethra looked curious:

> "Hmm? Not really… why?"

Aizakawa scratched his head and smiled,

> "Wanna hang out with me?"

The Next Day

Aizakawa got ready for his date with Mialethra at the park.

Though he had been on countless dates in the past with his former lovers, this time… he was nervous.

His goal for today: to confess his love to Mialethra.

Upon arriving at the park, Aizakawa sat down, scanning the area—

just in case Kagelapan tried to interfere again.

Soon, Mialethra arrived.

> "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Aizakawa was stunned by how beautiful she looked.

> "It's okay… by the way, you look really beautiful today."

Mialethra blushed,

> "Hehe… thank you."

They began walking through the park together.

Aizakawa continued to observe the surroundings, remaining cautious.

Eventually, they took a break at a nearby café.

But Aizakawa was still unsure whether it was the right time to confess.

In his heart, he thought:

> ("I'll make her happy… no matter what.")

Suddenly, Aizakawa threw a fork toward a man sitting behind Mialethra.

Everyone in the café froze in shock.

It turned out—the man was a spy sent by Kagelapan.

The fork returned to Aizakawa's hand like a boomerang.

Panic spread among the other guests—shocked by this "alien-like" power.

The spy hurled a knife toward Mialethra,

but Aizakawa caught it effortlessly—with just one finger.

The spy stammered in disbelief:

> "That's… impossible!"

Aizakawa explained with a smile:

> "Oh? You want to know my strength?

I didn't even touch the knife.

I just reinforced the air particles with my cells to block it.

I'm honestly too lazy to use my real power."

Then, Aizakawa fired a blast of energy, decapitating the alien spy with just one hand.

He calmly said:

> "That was only 0.1%... and I haven't even activated my true power.

Come on, Mialethra. Let's go somewhere else."

---

They headed to an amusement park and rode the roller coaster.

Surprisingly, Aizakawa got motion sickness, which made Mialethra burst into laughter.

They spent the entire day together, playing and laughing.

As night fell, the sky lit up with fireworks.

In the midst of the dazzling lights, without thinking too much, Aizakawa turned to her and said:

> "Mialethra, will you be my girlfriend?"

Mialethra blushed but smiled sweetly,

> "Yes, Aizakawa… I like you too."

Without hesitation, Aizakawa pulled her into a hug—

and kissed her.

---

The night came to an end.

They walked home together and parted ways in a quiet alley.

Mialethra waved,

> "See you tomorrow."

Aizakawa replied,

> "Yeah. See you."

He returned home with a big smile on his face.

Upon arriving, his elite warriors—Kyou, Zans, and Akazone—congratulated him.

But suddenly, his adoptive mother called out to him in a serious tone.

The smile on Aizakawa's face slowly faded…
