The awkward silence has come again.

I need to think of something, quick! This silence is killing me. Nico thought.

Nico took a deep breath and put on a serious face at Maki who's still in a post-shock state with emotions flying here and there in her head.

Leaving that thought away, Nico said, "So, Maki-chan...have you ever wanted to see the outside world?"

"Eh?" Maki replied dumbfoundedly.

"W-well, I've never been outside this Castle which had provided me the necessities in life ever since. The maids had always told me that the outside world is scary and is filled with bad guys...so, I'm not really sure..."

"Come on Maki-chan! It'll be fun! Think about it, you get to meet new people, new places that you'll surely like! and most especially, you get to be with Nico!" Nico exclaimed.

"W-What made you think that I love being with you!" Maki replied in a flustered manner,

flipping Nicos' tease switch to on.

"Ohhh~? Did I say "love"? I didn't recall saying that word~"

With Maki almost bursting out with tears, all she ever did was say "M-Mou!"

Maki and Nico's mid morning talk continued with Maki's face covered with pink shades almost every time she was teased by Nico.

After a few hours of Maki teasing time, Maki carried Kokoa to bed, but as soon as she did, Kokoa suddenly plunged out of bed instinctively. The force of Kokoa's deadly tackle was enough to push Maki towards Nico, causing both of them to fall down. (thanks gravity)

"Augh..." Maki groaned,

"Ugh..." said the other.

As soon as they opened their eyes, it felt as if time stopped, for all they saw was the magnificent beauty of each others eyes, with each passing minute, the shades of pink below their eyelashes just keeps on getting darker and darker.

Ah...So beautiful..those Dark ruby eyes, it feels as if it's calling me, those luscious lips, I wonder how it would taste like, and those cute dimples, oh how it fits Nico's adorable face so much...I wouldn't mind being on this state forever...

Some time has passed, with a tint of pink shades covered parts of Nico's face, unable to stand due to Maki being on top of her and for some unknown fact, staring at her as if she was being inspected, what Nico could only mutter was,

"H-how long do you have to stare at the one and only Nico!?"

"A-ah..." Maki realized as she was too mesmerized at Nico's eyes.

The two fixed themselves properly, still with their rosewood shaded blushes, left the (surprisingly) still sleeping Kokoa and headed toward the nearest town.

"W-where are we going?" Maki asked as she was pulled by Nico towards the unknown.

"We're going to the town silly~ it's a starting point for every adventurer!" Nico joyfully yelled,

"A-adventurer!?" Maki replied with a shocked expression.

As they were walking, Maki had just felt a sensation that she had never thought that she would ever feel in a thousand years.

S-She's holding my hand...it's so embarrassing yet she's just moving forward with a smile on her face!(Although it is cute when she smiles) What should I do!? It feels weird but at the same time, I want it to last forever...aaahhh! Keep calm Maki! You just need to endure it! Endure it!

As Nico looked back to see an extremely blushed Maki.

"Hmm? Does Maki-chan have a fever?"

Nico went closer and pressed both of their foreheads together, causing Maki to turn red even more.

Too close too close too close too close!

"hmm, doesn't seem to be a fever... Oh well, forward we go!" Nico said before pulling back her head away from Maki's.

"Oh god...I thought I was gonna die there..." Maki thought as the blood continued to rise inside her head.

After a few more minutes of traveling, they began to see houses, one by one, each having its own various sizes.

"Wow..." was all that Maki could say,

"You haven't seen anything yet! Let's go inside."

The town was named Umi town, not because it was close to the Sea or anything, but it was named after the great prince, Sonoda Umi. The people inside the town usually give the coldest and sometimes harshest advices, but surely,they do it with a pure, helpful and innocent mindset.

"Wahh...it's so beautiful..." Maki mused as she continued to follow Nico.

"Umi town's really popular with its refined taste in sports, such as Archery! I wonder if I'm good enough to hit the bullseye, want to give it a try Maki-chan?"

Nico-chan's so cute when she's this excited...wait what am I saying! Stupid Maki!

"A-Ah...sure, why not."

Shwook

"Aw~ Lil' Maki-chan missed~ don't worry, I'm here to cheer for you! Ey ey hooray!"

"S-Shut up! I'm trying to concentrate..."

She's looking at me,I have to look cool...okay Maki, take a deep breath and aim carefully.

Thug

"Yay! Maki-chan did it!"

Nico gave Maki a big hug for her achievement,

Aaaah! She's hugging me! I don't think I can last much longer!

"Ah, let's go and check the beach Maki-chan!" Nico said as she released her hug

"Uh, sure." Maki replied

That was a close call, although I did want more of her hugs...

After taking a few strolls around town, they took a path that leads them to the nice, relaxing beach, nobody except Nico and Maki were there since it was almost nighttime.

"it seems that we have all of the beach for ourselves! Right Maki?"

"Yeah, seems so."

Nico began to remove her clothes in front of Maki, which caused a certain princess to flinch from this action.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Maki?"

"W-w-why are you removing your clothes out in the open!?"

"Well, we're the only ones here,it's not like you're interested in my body anyway."

With those words said, it made Maki realize how much of an airhead when it comes to love.

Of course I am, idiot! Can't you see how flustered I am!

The two of them played together, surrounded by water, their limited movements frequently made them fall together. It was somewhat rough play, but they both had fun.

"Okay Maki, let's see who can hold their breath the longest underwater."

"I'm not losing against you."

As they were about to begin, they notice that someone else had entered the waters.

With Nico getting all curious, she asked, "Ah, someone else went in, wanna check it was?"

"Hmm, sure." Maki replied as she was twirling her wet red velvet hair,

The dark silhouette soon dissipated and showed a figure of a woman with azure hair, her proportions were quite good enough to make Nico jealous.

"Grr, if only my body was at least that mature, I'd be a knockoff for sure!" Nico said in envy, which caused Maki to reply with a poker face expression.

"Who's there!?" shouted the azure haired woman

*gulp*

"I think we're in trouble Maki."

Maki could only nodded in response.

A/N: Guess our lovely couples are in a tight(and wet) situation~

Most of you already know who this Azure haired woman so i'll be here lazing(lalala)

Maki - A Princess who has never seen the outside world(well, she's been outside but not outside the Nishikino's property) due to her parents protective attitude(well pretty much only the father, mommies hafta obey, not really)

Nico - A Traveler who somehow got into the castle as she was searching for a precious thing (will be making another chapter about their first encounter)

my friend told me to change Umi Town to Sonoda Town(since Umi Beach(Umi in the beach A u A) sounds weird but Sonoda Beach sounds weirder since it sounds like...you get what i'm sayin'.)

since my one-shot, Lost Connection wasn't really that clear to most readers, i'll be writing another chapter for it for you guys to get a clearer understanding on for it.(feel free to slap me for that ; w;)

with the upcoming Fiesta... *cracks knuckles* (ouch) you'll be seeing another update soon!

Ciao!
