"Whew, done with today's stream!"
Mimitaya let out a sigh and leaned back into her gaming chair.
*flump* (sound of sitting into her chair)
At the sound of a notification from her phone, she grabbed her phone and saw she had a message.
"Hey, want to go out to eat together or something tomorrow?"
The sender was Kisaragi Ren.
Seeing that the message was from such an unexpected person sent Mimitaya's heart aflutter.
--- 1 ---
"Of course!"
Replying as such, Mimitaya then lept into her bed.
"WEE-YOO! IT'S A DATE!"
While imagining what the next day would bring, she gradually fell asleep.
The next day, after arriving at their agreed meeting place, Mimitaya felt surprise upon seeing the unexpected person in front of her.
"Wha - ?!"
--- 2 ---
Standing before her was none other than... Ren-kun herself.
Standing before her was none other than... Ren-kun in formal attire.
"R-Ren-chan! H-How come you're here?!"
"R-Ren-kun! How come you're dressed like that?!"
"Hehe, did I surprise you? I actually wanted to ask you out, too."
"Hehe, did I surprise you? Since I'm going out with you, I wanted to dress up a bit"
"O-Oh, is that right.. You surprised me"
--- 3 ---
She felt slightly disappointed, but this didn't change her feelings for Ren.
Mimitaya couldn't hide her surprise, but it didn't change the fact that she was on a date with the person she liked.
"Alright, then, shall we go?"
"Yes!"
The two left, walking side-by-side.
Of course, both knew where they were headed.
It was at once both a place of nostalgia for both of them, as well as where they were currently headed ...
--- 4 ---
"Welcome, a party of two?"
Sure enough, it was where they first met each other, and the cafe they visited on their first date.
Sitting in the same seats as they did back then, they opened the menu
In it, they saw a photo from their first date
It was a photo of their memories from back then.
The moment she saw it, Mimitaya felt tears well up in her eyes.
When she realized, Ren, worried, called out to her.
However, she turned her head to the side and
--- 5 ---
However, Mimitaya raised her face and shook her head. "It's not that.. I just, felt so happy..."
"Happy..?"
"I mean, isn't this a really importance place to us? That's why I felt happy that we were able to come here again."
"True, I feel the same way."
"Hey, Ren-kun, if you're alright with it.. could we take this photo again?"
"Sounds good, it'll be a way to commemmorate this moment."
They asked a waiter over and made their orders.
Then, they posed in front of the dishes that were brought in front of them.
*flash* (camera)
As the camera flashed, it captured the two in their moment of happiness.
Several days later, Ren and Mimitaya
--- 6 ---
Several days later, Ren and Mimitaya went out again -- this time, to an aquarium.
Both loved aquariums and thus walked with spring in their step.
"Aren't you excited?"
"Yes, going together with Mimitaya is like a dream come true."
"You're exaggerating //"
As their train rocked along, they stared into each other's eyes.
As Ren stared at her reflection in Mimitaya's large, misty eyes that looked as if tears were about to spill out, Ren...
--- 7 ---
Ren stared at her reflection in Mimitaya's large, misty eyes that looked as if tears were about to spill out, and reaffirmed to herself that she loved Mimitaya.
Once they arrived to the aquarium, they quickly went inside.
There were many families, perhaps because it was a holiday, and the fish were leisurely swimming in their tanks.
"Wow, look! That stingray is huge!"
"True, how fascinating"
--- 8 ---
Sure enough, in the direction Mimitaya pointed, there was a large stingray.
"It's kind of cute, isn't it!"
"Yeah, but it's kind of scary, too."
After walking around a bit, they moved somewhere else for a better view of a show that was about to start.
"Hm? Ren-kun, what's wrong? You suddenly stopp--"
--- 9 ---
"Hm? Ren-kun, what's wrong? Why'd you suddenly stop?", asked Mimitaya, confused by Ren, who was standing next to a window.
However, she quickly figured out the reason.
"Ah! Penguins!"
Mimitaya was instantly charmed by the sight of several penguins walking about.
"Wow, so there are penguins in this kind of place, huh.."
--- 10 ---
"Wow, so there are penguins in this kind of place, huh.. Didn't know that"
"So cute! I want to pet them!"
"Then, how about we ask if we can pet them?"
"Yeah!"
Immediately, Mimitaya ran towards a staff member.
"Excuse me, would it be possible to pet them a bit?"
--- 11 ---
"Oh, that's fine"
"Thank you very much!"
With a large smile across her face, Mimitaya ran over to the penguins and began gently petting them.
Watching her, Ren softly whispered, "She's really just like a cat."
"Hm? Did you say something?"
"No, nothing."
As she watched Mimitaya enjoy playing with the penguins, Ren looked as if she was looking at something she loved dearly
--- 12 ---
(It never gets boring when I'm around her, huh)
As Ren was thinking that, Mimitaya turned and faced her.
"Thanks for asking me out today!"
On the way home, the two walked side-by-side to the train station, but no words left their lips.
However, neither felt that the silence was by any means awkward. Rather, it was comforting to them.
--- 13 ---
"I want to thank you for coming out today"
"No, I just wanted to come, that's all."
"Really? But I'm glad I was able to go with you."
"Same here"
The two became silent again and walked away, hand in hand.
From her hand...
--- 14 ---
From her hand...
After two or three steps, Mimitaya suddenly stopped.
Puzzled, Ren turned to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't.. want to go home yet, you know?", Mimitaya faintly whispered, as her voice wavered and she tightly squeezed Ren's hand.
--- 15 ---
From the trembling of her hand, Ren saw how nervous Mimitaya was.
When she saw this, Ren smiled and gently said, "Then... should we stay together a little longer?"
"What?!"
Mimitaya's eyes opened wide at Ren's unexpected reply.
--- 16 ---
As soon as she did, she felt her face flush red and she looked away.
"Do you.. not want to?"
"I, I woud.. love to.."
"Really... I'm glad."
After saying that, Ren took Mimitaya's hand and began walking.
"Where are we going?"
"That's a secret."
--- 17 ---
After walking for a while, Ren stopped in front of a certain place.
"This is..."
She saw the name "Kisaragi" engraved in the doorplate in front of her.
TLN: A doorplate or nameplate is just a placard/sign in front of a house with the resident's surname.
"It's my house, though.. Are you alright with this?"
"Your house.. Is that alright?"
"Of course"
Ren took out her key and opened the door.
"Come in."
"Pardon the intrusion..."
"I'm home"
As if responding to Ren's voice,
Nobody responded to Ren's voice.
It seemed that none of Ren's family was home.
--- 18 ---
"Sorry, my parents are away on a business trip right now"
"Oh, really.. aren't you lonely?"
"Nope, it's fine."
"Oh.. I kind of envy you.."
"You'll understand someday"
They entered the living room and sat on a sofa.
--- 19 ---
"I'll go get some drinks" said Ren, but, as she stood up, Mimitaya grabbed her arm.
"Don't leave..."
"...Alright"
Ren sat back down next to her.
Then, they looked at each other.
--- 19 ---
"Hey Ren, do you remember?"
"What?"
"About that time.."
"Of course"
"We'll always be together, right?"
"Yes, of course."
Elated by Ren's reply, a smile appeared on Mimitaya's face.
Then, she hugged Ren and buried her face in her chest.
--- 20 ---
"I like... Love you."
"I love you, too."
Ren gently hugged Mimitaya back and whispered gently into her ear.
"Hey, Mimitaya, is it alright if we kiss?"
"Yeah... it's okay if it's Ren-kun"
Ren-kun slowly brought her lips closer --
