Kazuto: I'm glad I made it. Well then, this is from Shuri.
Yeah. Thanks.
Putting the letter I brought into her pocket, Pairen smirks.
Still, Shuri sure is a clumsy one to ask for me to go on errand and forget togive the list.
Kazuto: You think you can speak, considering you didn't notice that and just went ahead?
Ugh... shut up!
Embarassed from me pointing it out, Pairen blushed.
As I smile noticing that, Pairen turns away to hide her face.
Well then, I'll be going.
Kazuto: Yeah. Be careful.
After watching Pairen leave as if running away, I secretly laugh a bit.
...And then.
I saw, I saw.
Kazuto: Eh...
I heard a sudden voice and looked around.
But before I found the owner of that voice..
I'm right here. (One day she'll summon a Skeith)
Kazuto: Whoa!?
I heard a voice behind me so I screamed in surprise. (Yeah, noone said jumpscares are limited to horror games)
Haha. Master sure is easy to surprise.
Kazuto: Ta... Tanpopo? (I'm disappoint. You should recognize by voice already)
Really. Master, you're no good. Your back was wide open, okay? If Tanpopo was an assassin, you would've been stabbed already.
Kazuto: Don't say such dangerous things. (First of all, it's their job not to let assassins inside)
Whatever the case, I was relieved.
And Tanpopo was looking at my face with a grin.
So, what was you doing alone with Hakukei-san here?
Kazuto: Huh?
Why not? Just tell this to Tanpopo secretly. I'll keep quiet about it to Onee-sama.
Kazuto: Listen... I don't know what you're imagining, but I only passed her a letter from Shuri.
Then, why was Hakukei-san blushing?
Kazuto: She was just embarassed because she was about to leave without remembering to receive this letter.
...Is that really it? (Good part of her. Jealousy level - zero)
Kazuto: That's it, really.
Oh. That's kinda boring. (Instead of being jealous she's having fun)
Kazuto: Boring, you say...
That's an extreme comment... well, it's Tanpopo, after all.
Kazuto: So, what are you doing here, Tanpopo?
What you ask. I just passed-by while heading to training.
Kazuto: Training, like with Sui?
No. With Rinrin.
Even if I wanted to train with Onee-sama, she's taking a break in the city right now.
Kazuto: I see...
Ah. What's with that surprised face?
Tanpopo is not a child, so it's not like I'm always and everywhere with Onee-sama.
I think that phrase was pretty childish though... (Well... she's right though. I'm surprised that it's Rinrin though)
What are you laughing about? (I mean, Tanpopo gets along with Sei a lot. She's almost Sei's fan)
Kazuto: No, nothing.
Tanpopo glared at me as if having something to say.
And when she was about to say something...
I finally found you.
Ah, Rinrin.
Really. We can't start training if Tanpopo doesn't come.
Hehe, sorry. I was going there, but Master stopped me by calling out.
Kazuto: ...Hey.
Don't blame it on me with an innocent face.
Eh? Onii-chan, do you have business with Tanpopo?
Kazuto: No, I'm fine.
Kazuto: Anyway, you'll be training now? Well then, squeeze everything you can from Tanpopo.
Yeah. Leave it to me. (Just don't overkill her please)
Leave it to me... hold back a bit at least.
No way. If I hold back, it won't be a training.
Then, Onii-chan, see you later.
Kazuto: Yeah. Be careful.
Hey, Rinrin. Tanpopo can't match Rinrin, so unless you hold back.. hey, Rinrin, are you listening?
They left loudly... I looked after them until I could no longer hear Tanpopo's voice and sighed.
Kazuto: Well then. What should I do, I wonder. (Join them? Or train with someone else, like Aisha?)
For now, I have some free time...
Kazuto: Come to think of it, she said Sui is taking a break in the city.
Well, I'm not sure if I'll meet her, but I might as well take a break and go.
Kazuto: Hmm...
I guess searching without destination is too hard.
I tried walking around for a bit...
Well, it's not like I have some business with her, so it's fine even if I don't meet her.
But just leaving is no fun... guess I'll eat something.
When I thought like that and looked around...
Kazuto: ...Oh.
A line of tables and chairs in front of the store. I guess you can call it an open cafe and I saw Sui there.
When I approached her planning to call out, Sui has made an unexpected big sigh.
I hesitated calling out after seeing her somewhat pained face.
...What's wrong?
Sui sighed again and glanced at the nearby desk. (Oh... she's envious of couples, I see)
At that desk a man and woman who obviously got along well were chatting without any hesitation.
She frowned and looked in the opposite direction.
There was also a man and woman there entangling their fingers on the table.
This shop sure has a lot of couples.
If you think about it...
Suddenly, Sui looked in my direction.
Master?
Kazuto: Yo, Sui.
I smile at Sui and take a sit next to her.
Umm... why are you here?
Kazuto: I heard Tanpopo saying that Sui went to take a break in the city, so I came here thinking I might meet you.
W, what's with that.. might meet... do you want something?
Kazuto: No, I just kinda wanted to see Sui's face.
Huh?
Huuuh!?
Sui panicked, blushed and raised her voice.
Y, you're an idiot. You can always see me when you want, so why would you go search for me...
I, I see. I understand. I'm sure you're skipping your work and after getting noticed by me trying to cover it. That's right, I'm sure of it.
Kazuto: Yes, yes. Let's settle with this, so calm down a bit. The others are starting to look here.
Others... ah!?
I guess she got too excited and forgot where this is.
As if trying to hide her blushing face, Sui brought the cup to her face again.
It's Master's fault, really... saying such weird things...
While mumbling complains, Sui touched cup with her mouth and made a sip.
Those series of gestures were so cute I couldn't resist smiling.
Why are you smiling?
Kazuto: No reason.
Sui stares at me with a displeased look, but I pretend to not notice and order tea.
And then I turn back to Sui and smile again.
Kazuto: Do you come to this store often? (Whoa, what a cheap flirting phrase)
Eh? Ah... no, first time here.
I heard it's a popular store around here, so I decided to give it a try, but...
Answering that, Sui looks around and sighs again. (Doesn't she realize she's with a man right now as well?)
This place sure is amazing.
Kazuto: ...Amazing?
Come on, this place is really fashionable, right? Because of that, there are many lovers here... so, I feel myself out of place...
Kazuto: Hmm... (Come on, do a critical hit again by pointing it out)
Well, it's true there are many couples here...
Kazuto: I don't think you stand out because you're alone, okay? (Umm... There are two of you, slowpokes. Come on, realize it already)
Kazuto: Ah... but I mean "don't stand out" in a good sense.
...Huh?
Kazuto: How should I say it... when a pretty girl is drinking tea alone looking kinda sad, it's very picturesque already.
...Pretty girl?
Sui tilts her head and slowly looks around. (Everyone thinks Sui is cute. Except for Sui herself)
There are some cute girls, but pretty girls that would interest Master, who's attracted by looks...
Kazuto: Hey. I have no idea how you interpreted it this way.
Kazuto: When I say pretty girl, I mean you, Sui.
D, d, don't say stupid things!
Kazuto: What part of it was stupid? I just voiced a fact.
No way... l, lies! Lies, of course! Master is just teasing me! (Yup, an expected result. But damn it's cute)
Calling me a pretty girl... if you say that, you'll get killed by all the pretty girls of this world!
Kazuto: Again, what an extreme phrase...
I laugh at Sui's exaggerated reaction.
I'm not shocked or making fool of her though.
I only thought her blushing figure, due to its innocence, was very cute.
Kazuto: Say, Sui. Calm down a bit and look around.
Kazuto: See? Other customers and passers-by keep looking at you.
Ah... really... why is that?
Master, is something weird with me? Ah, because I'm alone in such a fancy store, they're looking down on me...
Kazuto: Why would you think like that. First of all, you're not alone right now, right? I mean, I'm with you.
...Then, why?
Kazuto: Look closely. People paying attention are mostly male, right? And, don't you see them kinda giving me an evil eye?
Now that you mention it... (Kazuto aggravates all male population there :D)
Kazuto: See? Then, do you understand what's going on?
There's something on Master's face? (Innocence level reaching infinity)
Kazuto: Wrong! Everyone's envious of me. (Add viewers to this list, I guess :D)
Envious... why?
Kazuto: Because I'm drinking tea with a cute girl like Sui.
Kazuto: They probably think that me and Sui are lovers. (Fix that misunderstanding... by making it true already)
Huuuh!? M, m, me and Master!?
No! That's not true! That can't be true, there's no way me and Master look like lovers!
Kazuto: You don't have to deny it that much... do you hate being seen as lover with me that much?
No, it's not that I hate it, I just feel bad for Master...
Kazuto: Huh?
Well, I'm rough and clumsy, my face isn't cute and my body is also kinda half-hearted...
Even Master wouldn't want to have me as a lover, right? (I remember one epic phrase he said about her denial)
Kazuto: No, not really. I'm actually kinda happy.
Due to my instant answer, Sui was too surprised and stood up.
Wha, why... happy, no way...
Kazuto: Listen, Sui. Admit it or not, you're cute. I guarantee it. No matter what people say, you are truly the cutest.
Kazuto: So, being seen as your lover... actually feels quite good...
Kazuto: Sui? Hey, Sui? (The Dartaen Sui is broken)
M, Master, sorry. I suddenly remembered something urgent. Well then, I'll be going then.
Kazuto: Eh? Ah... hey! Wait a bit!
I grab Sui's hand, as she's trying to escape for some reason and turn her to face me.
Wha, wha, what? I'm kind busy...
Kazuto: I understand, so wait a bit. Did you eat something with your tea? See, at the side of your mouth...
Not understanding what I'm saying, Sui tilts her head.
Smirking at that gesture, I reach out my hand and wipe honey from dango or something with my fingertip.
Kazuto: That's better.
Wha... wha, wha...
Kazuto: ...Sui?
Bam!!!
Kazuto: Ugh!?
Sui's fist strikes straight at my belly.
Kazuto: Su... Sui... why...
I don't care! Idiot, idiot, idiot! You eroero majin!! (Screw that, let it be "majin" after all)
*clatter*...
After shouting with blushed face, Sui raised a cloud of dust and ran away.
Kazuto: I wonder what I did wrong...
You don't understand it, Master. Suddenly touching a girl's face without saying anything.
Kazuto: ...Huh?
Holding my aching belly, I turn to the voice and see a familiar face.
Kazuto: ...Tanpopo?
Yahoo.
Striking her signature "I'm here" pose, Tanpopo is smiling.
Kazuto: Why would Tanpopo be here... (She escaped, I bet)
Well, well. Let's sit for now. We're standing out. (One cutie after another. Punch to all men's faces there)
Kazuto: Ah... yeah, right.
I can feel everyone's stare, but because of being punched it's hard to move, so I sit back where I was sitting.
And on the opposite side, Tanpopo fixes the chair Sui dropped and sits there.
That's no good, Master. If it was Sei-neesama or Shion it'd be okay, but suddenly touching face... no, lips, of course she's surprised.
Kazuto: That might be so, but...
But that's not a reason to punch my stomach with full force...
Kazuto: Well, that aside... Tanpopo, why are you here?
Haha. I've escaped from the training. (Wise decision. Rinrin is dangerous)
Kazuto: Escaped, you say...
Well, Rinrin really doesn't hold back.
Kazuto: But it wouldn't be a training if she holds back. (Being killed also doesn't count as training, you know?)
But there should be some limits. Look. Here or here, isn't it swollen? I'm sure it'll become a bruise later...
It's all Master's fault. Because you provoked Rinrin... (For once, it's not an empty blame. He really did that)
As a punishment, treat Tanpopo to a tea.
Kazuto: Why did it come to this. (Why not? Do you need a reason to treat her to a tea?)
Well, why not? Come on, please.
*Smooch*.
Kazuto: .....Huh? (Don't you "huh"! The correct reaction is "Let's go to the forest pond!")
I just felt something soft touching my cheek...
Heh, would you've prefered lips to the cheek?
Kazuto: Not that, just what are you doing!? (The correct reaction is "Yes, please"! You're doing it wrong!)
What you ask, it's a request smooch, okay?
Kazuto: Smooch...
Well, Tanpopo doesn't have any money right now.
Tanpopo meant no offense and is smiling, so I drop my shoulders.
Kazuto: Understood. I'll treat you. But a girl shouldn't do that lightly. (He has a point though. But he's missing part of it)
Don't worry. Tanpopo would only do that to Master. (Yup, that point)
Kazuto: Eh? (You slowpoke)
She looks at me with a big smile and I can't say anything. (Oh, right, he doesn't realise it until fifth event)
And meanwhile, Tanpopo calls a clerk and makes an order. (She has to pretty much force H-scene on him for him to notice)
Ah... hey, hey, Master. Tanpopo wants to eat dango as well.
Kazuto: ...Do as you please.
Haha. Thank you, Master.
I'm not sure if that's her intention or just personality, but a term "little devil" suits Tanpopo perfectly...
Ah... Just what am I doing... to punch Master...
B, but, that's Master's fault. Suddenly touching my lips... (You did enjoy it, right? Admit it)
Master's finger... here...
I'm glad. They're not edged or anything.
Wait, that doesn't matter!
Seriously. Because Master said weird things, my head is a mess...
Saying that I'm cute, there's no way that's true... (I think her parents trolled her into thinking like that)
But, Master... said I'm cute... (Or maybe not... still, he's right, can't argue here)
H, h, he said he's happy we're seen as lovers...
Me too... happy, I guess...
If Master was my lover...
W, what am I thinking about... Master is all popular, so there's no way he'd go precisely for me...
But... if he chooses me... (If he does, you'll make lots of panic and deny it again)
In that situation... I'll...
I'll... (You'll punch him and escape and then facepalm at yourself)
Master...
