Chapter 3: Maiden
Opening: Daydream Cafe - Petit Rabbit's
-In a early afternoon, Touya was sitting alone on a park bench as he was reading a book quietly and calmly as he ignored his surrounding. There was a crepe stand that was not far from Touya as Sharo was inside the stand and was watching him as she was trying to hide herself-
Sharo: W-Why is he here..?
Girl: One strawberry crepe please!
Sharo: What? Oh! R-Right! One strawberry crepe coming up!
-Moments later as a beautiful girl with her long dark purple hair and eyes and a white dress walked passed the crepe stand as Sharo's eyes widened at the sight of the girl as Sharo's jaw dropped after she had given the crepe to the customer. As the girl was about to walk passed Touya, he placed a bookmark in between one of the pages and closed his book as he took a deep breath and smiled after reading the book, he would then look up and noticed the girl as he blushed slightly from her beauty. Touya would then blink a few times after the girl walked passed him as he would then call out to her nervously-
Touya: U-Um..!
Girl: Eek! Y-Yes...? -She turned back with a nervous look on her face as she sweated a little and she seemed to be panicking slightly-
Touya: T-Tedeza-san..?
Girl: Eh?! H-How did you..?
Touya: I...Well...I kinda knew it was you when I first saw y-you.. -He blushed slightly as he looked down and scratched the back of his head a little and got a little nervous as Rize would then blush madly and covered her face with her little purse-
Rize: Y-You did, huh? J-Just so you know! I-I had no choice but to wear this!
Touya: I'm sorry?
Rize: I-It's my father who forced me to wear this! D-Don't get the wrong idea!
Touya: I-I'm sorry, I won't..
Rize: But why are you here, anyway?
Touya: I like reading my books during days like this. It relaxes me.
Rize: Ah~ You do have a point. Though I always thought you were an indoor person, Joga.
Touya: Y-You can call me "Touya". T-That's..That's my first name.
Rize: -She'd blush slightly as she nodded while Sharo watched the two from the crepe stand and was cringing- A-All right.. T-Touya..
Touya: I..Um...Yeah.. I always preferred being indoors than going out and I-I'm not very energetic like most other guys.
Rize: Is that so~? Then why don't you suggest a book for me to read?
Touya: A book for you? I didn't think you were the sort who likes reading, I'm sorry if that sounded rude to you.
Rize: No, you're right. I'm not into books like you do but I don't mind reading certain books.
Touya: Mangas?
Rize: I'm sure anyone could read that.
Touya: Novels?
Rize: Depends on the genre.
Touya: A light novel?
Rize: Never tried it but do you have anything to recommend?
Touya: Re:Zero. I recommend you that book but it does have one problem.
Rize: Oh? What might that be?
Touya: It's quite dark..
Rize: It's dark?
Touya: It's quite depressing but it's a really good light novel series. I'll pass you the first volume the next time I see you.
Rize: Ah alright, thank you. -Rize thought to herself as she smiled slightly and looked at Touya- "He's not wearing his big glasses today and he talks a lot when it comes to books. Hehe, that's kind of cute." B-By the way..
Touya: Yes..?
Rize: A-Are you free right now?
Sharo: Wha-?! R-Rize-senpai?! Y-You're gonna ask him out?! -She whispered to herself loudly as she was hiding in the stand as she stared at both Touya and RIze from a distance-
Touya: W-Well..I..
Sharo: N-No he isn't! -Sharo couldn't control herself as she would then stand up from hiding and yelled out to the two- H-He...He has plans with me, Rize-senpai!
Rize: S-Sharo?!
Touya: Eh?! W-We have plans together?! -Touya blushed as he got nervous as he was panicking slightly-
Sharo: Y-Yes! We do! In fact! My shift will be done in a few minutes until someone else comes by! After that we can leave!
Touya: But I..
Sharo: No buts! Plans! You and me! I'm sorry Rize-senpai!
Rize: N-No, it's all right. I-I just didn't think you two knew each other..
Touya: We..Uh..
Rize: Are you two dating?
Sharo: -Sharo and Touya blushed madly- Huh?! No! Of course not! I-I wouldn't date him! Not a chance!
Touya:..
Rize: Sharo! That was mean of you to say that to him.
Sharo: I-I'm sorry Touya..
Touya: N-No, i-it's okay..
Rize: I-If you two have plans then I guess that can't be helped then. I will see you soon?
Touya: O-Of course, good bye.. -Rize said goodbye to Sharo and Touya as she then left but she was not pleased but instead she felt irritated and a little angry as she placed one of her hands on her chest-
-A few minutes later as another girl came by and took over Sharo's place as Sharo then quickly ran to Touya as the two then left and went to Sharo's home. As Touya was in Sharo's home, he felt awkwardly nervous as he was sitting on the floor as he was waiting for Sharo. It was then Sharo returned back to the room with her casual outfit and sat in front of Touya-
Sharo: Touya!
Touya: Y-Yes!
Sharo: You are to explain to me something of importance!
Touya: O-Of course..What is it?
Sharo: A-Are you dating Rize-senpai or something?
Touya: N-No..We are not.
Sharo: Are you sure? Why are you two so close?
Touya: W-We were talking about books..
Sharo: Oh okay. What do you think of Rize-senpai?
Touya: S-She's a very kind and beautiful and strong person..
Sharo: Correct! So you do understand her great traits! You want to know what else is great about her?
Touya: W-What might that be?
Sharo: Her sex appeal!
Touya: Pfft! W-What?!
Sharo: Yeah! You heard me! She has a great body!
Touya: R-Really?
Sharo: How can you not know?!
Touya: I-I don't look at a girl's body or even examine people's body..
Sharo: -She'd blush slightly as she thought how much of a gentleman he was- Y-You're being serious, right?
Touya: Y-Yes..?
Sharo: Jeez.. T-Then why don't you...
Touya: Hmm?
Sharo: -She leaned over to him slowly as she was blushing madly and was getting nervous as she crawled to him slowly- W-What do you think of me then?
Touya: -He'd blush as he got nervous from having Sharo being so close to him- I-I.. -He was mumbling softly as Sharo was moving closer to his face as the two's lips were about to touch each other slightly-
-It was then someone opened the window in Sharo's room loudly and quickly as the two quickly look over at the window in shock to see Chiya-
Chiya: Sharo-chan! Bad! No! You shouldn't do that!
Sharo: Knock next time!
Chiya: You shouldn't steal him, Sharo-chan!
Sharo: Huh?! Steal?! I'm not stealing him from anyone!
Chiya: What if he belongs to Rize-chan? What if he belongs to me?!
Sharo: You're not making sense!
Chiya: You're being shameless, Sharo-chan!
Sharo: -She'd gasp loudly in shock as she fell down onto her knees- S-Shameless..
Touya: W-What..?
Chiya: Sharo-chan! What if Cocoa-chan or someone else likes him?
Sharo: Eh?
Touya: S-Someone likes me?
Chiya: Oh~ It's hypothetical~
Touya: Oh..
Sharo: Then they'll take it slowly!
Chiya: What about you?
Sharo: I-I'll..
Chiya: You'll what?
Sharo: I don't know!
Chiya: No flirting! Touya-kun! You're coming to my cafe!
Touya: Y-Yes.. Of course..
Sharo: Wait no! Stay! Please..?
Touya: O-Okay.. I'll stay..
Chiya: Ah! Touya-kun! You're spoiling her!
Touya: B-But I...I don't know what to do anymore! -Rize was passing by the cafe and Sharo's house as she was about to head back home until she saw and heard the commotion and saw that Chiya was sticking half of her body into Sharo's window and heard that the two were yelling as Rize then went up to them to see what was the problem-
Rize: H-Hey! Y-You guys! W-What's wrong?!
Chiya: Buu! Rize-chan! Sharo-chan is hogging Touya-kun!
Rize: Eh?
Sharo: Ahh! Rize-senpai!
Rize: T-Touya? W-What are you doing inside?
Touya: I-I was asked to come in..
Rize: I-I see but what's the situation?
Chiya: They aren't doing anything at all!
Rize: Is that so?
Sharo: No please! Stop it Chiya!
Touya: A-Ah! I-i'm sorry! B-But I think it is time for me to take my leave! I-It is getting late and I-I don't want to cause problems for Maya.. I-I'm so so sorry..
Sharo: O-Oh, y-you're right! I-it's okay! Y-You can go, sorry for taking up so much of your time..
Touya: N-No! I-It's all right, I-I had fun. Thank you very much and good bye..
Sharo: A-All right.. B-bye bye..
Chiya: Bye bye!
Rize: I think I'll take my leave too, I don't want my father to worry.
Chiya: Yeah, you have a point~ I'll see you all tomorrow~
Sharo: Tch! That green tea girl just leaves without saying anything to me?! -Rize, Chiya and Touya then left but as Rize and Touya were heading home, Rize looked back and noticed that Touya was walking behind her from a distance as Rize then turned and pulled onto his sleeves lightly and looked up at him as the two blushed slightly and stared into each other's eyes-
Touya: T-Tedeza-san..?
Rize: Rize.
Touya: E-Eh?
Rize: Call me "Rize" and you're walking straight down this path, right?
Touya: Y-Yeah..
Rize: Then you wouldn't escorting me back, would you?
Touya: O-O-Of course I don't mind.. -The two would walk back to their homes together as they were walking close to each other. As the two were walking, some people were staring at the two while others were whispering to one another on how great of a couple the two looked. Touya kept quiet as he was getting embarrassed as his face was completely red while Rize tugged onto his sleeve tightly as she was blushing madly but was trying to keep her cool but in the end, Rize smiled slightly as she would then thought to herself-
"This is nice. This is what I'd like." - Rize.
