Completely addicted to this anime/manga. Waiting patiently for chapter 32 to come out. In times like this, I wish I could read Japanese!
He kissed me...
Hiyori sighed deeply.
Ever since she went to Capyper Land with her friends and Fujisaki's friends, she couldn't face him properly.
She touched her lips.
It was her first kiss.
Fujisaki-san was nice and friendly, a real prince charming.
However...
This isn't what she want. She yearned for someone else.
Who was it?
What?
There was a name; an image of a person just a second ago in her mind. She could almost say it but, she couldn't remember.
Deciding to go outside and get some fresh air, she walked aimlessly around the city.
A shrine...
Unconsciously, she took out 5 yuan and prayed to a god.
A god named Yato.
Yatogami.
Huh?
What was she doing here again? Shaking her head, she stood up and giggled at herself.
"YO!" That achingly familiar voice...
Hiyori whipped around, searching for the owner of that rich, smooth voice.
No one?
Yato stood there, hands in his pockets, waiting for Hiyori to react to his greeting.
She turned around and he grinned at her.
Hiyori looked around, but then turned back and started walking again.
Fear crept into his heart.
Can't she see me?
Cou—Could it be that...?
"Oi, Hiyori!" His eyes showed horror but he forced himself to smile.
Turning around again, Hiyori looked at the empty spot behind her.
"What is this? Some kind of prank?" She huffed angrily, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that she knows that voice.
Hiyori glanced one last time at the spot where she thought she heard someone's voice, and then walked away.
Yato stood completely frozen.
She forgot.
He stared at the spot where Hiyori was standing just a few minutes ago.
Tears brimmed his eyes.
"Y-You promised. You promised you wouldn't forget." Yato muttered, tears rolling down his cold cheeks.
"You promised. You promised. You promised." He chanted over and over again.
Hiyori laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
"I know I heard that voice before." She muttered to herself.
She closed her eyes and thought.
Blue.
Her eyes snapped open.
Sitting up, she started sweating.
Clutching her face, she tried harder.
Ice blue eyes...
Hiyori felt like crying.
Whose eyes were those?
She wept softly. Those eyes...those eyes showed such tenderness.
Gentle yet fierce.
She knew those eyes...she's seen them before...
She continued crying until exhaustion hit her.
Hiyori fell asleep thinking of those beautiful ice blue eyes.
Daikoku had told Yukine to buy some groceries when he saw a familiar face.
"Y-Yato! You're back!" Yukine exclaimed, meeting the god just standing there in the middle of the streets.
Yato didn't say anything.
His head was down making it impossible to see his eyes.
Yukine didn't really understand what happened, but he felt like Yato had to explain where he was for the past month and a half.
"We're back!" Yukine called.
"We're...?" Kofuku and Daikoku asked, staring at each other.
Successfully dragging Yato into the house, Yukine knelt onto the floor panting.
"Man this guy won't even move an inch. I practically had to carry him." Yukine muttered darkly.
"YATTY~!" Kofuku squealed and jumped onto him, giving Yato a bear hug.
Yato didn't even budge and continued to look down.
"Hm?" Kofuku asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Yo, Yato. What the hell is your problem?" Daikoku asked, glaring at the man.
Yato silently stood up and uttered.
"I'm tired. Good night." Then he walked up the stairs in a zombie trance.
"Good night? It's only the afternoon..." Kofuku stated putting a finger under her chin in a thoughtful pose.
"Gosh..." Yukine mumbled and went up after him.
Yukine found Yato wrapped up tightly in the blankets.
"Yato?" Yukine asked, shaking him slightly.
The god budged slightly, but did not answer.
"Oi, quit that already. What's wrong?" Yukine asked, shaking Yato a little harder.
"...yori..."
"Huh?" Yukine leaned in closer.
"Hiyori forgot about me." Yato mumbled quietly.
"What?" Yukine asked, still not able to clearly hear him.
"Hiyori forgot about me!" Yato pushed off the covers violently and yelled.
Tears streamed down his face, shocking Yukine.
"B-But she—"
"She promised she wouldn't! She swore!" Yato cried.
Yukine sat there frozen, not knowing what to do or say as Yato continued crying.
Gripped his hair hard, Yato screamed her name over and over again.
"The hell is going on up there!?" Daikoku stomped up stairs and slammed open the door. Kofuku peeked in behind him.
Yukine looked at them, tears in his eyes too.
"Hiyori...Hiyori...she...she forgot about Yato."
Silence enveloped the trio for a second, only the harsh cries of Yato were heard.
"Mou, Yatty-chan. It's gonna be alright. She's gonna remember you." Kofuku said comfortingly and hugged the god.
However, all Yato wanted was for her to hug him.
Hiyori rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
Sitting up on her bed, she stretched and then went to the bathroom to clean herself.
Staring at herself in the mirror, she felt like something was missing.
Something long and fluffy.
She turned around in multiple circles, trying to look at where she thinks a tail was.
A tail?
No...it was a cord...
Dizziness hit her.
"Huh?" Hiyori muttered. What was she doing again?
She kept thinking about what she was doing just a moment ago, but shook it off.
After changing into a hoodie and jeans, she wrote a little note to her parents saying she went out with her friends.
It was a cool and sunny Saturday.
However it seemed like a dark rain cloud was following Hiyori around.
Her heart ached.
It felt like she forgot something very, very important to her.
An important person.
"Huh?" Someone had grabbed her hand.
I know this person.
"Hiyori. Did you really forget me?" Yato whispered.
"I...I..." She was so sure she knew him. This person...
Yato stared straight at her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Ice blue eyes...
It felt like his world had shattered.
What was his reason for coming back?
He couldn't take it anymore.
Yato wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.
Then it hit her.
This smell...
It's my favorite smell.
"Yato..."
Yato pulled away quickly, staring into her pale red eyes.
Hiyori beamed at him.
"Yato! You're back!" She exclaimed happily and then jumped on him, giving him a warm hug.
Tears welled up in his eyes again.
He buried his head in her neck.
She remembers...
