Two Blades, Same Purpose Ch. 2: My First Date
Hayashi's POV:
'It has been 3 days since that time I accepted to join the program, take a girl into home, and suddenly get a message from that strange woman of a coordinator. Seriously, can't things get even weirder than this?' he thought as he sat on a small couch in the living room.
Flashback starts
"You want me to what?" asked Hayashi. "I want you to take Ms. Shianus on a little d– ahem, field trip to explore the city and get find necessities for her well-being while staying here. And before you ask about the expenses, remember that we, the organization of the program, will reimburse you for the expenses of helping and aiding us in allowing demi-humans to live with us for the benefit of both races. Do I make myself clear, Mr. Hayashi? Said Ms. Smith. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, no love hotels alright, or else–" "I'll be imprisoned and she will be deported back to her home" he continues. "That's it!"
Flashback ends
'Hmmm, okay, let's do this!' he thought as he stood up from his couch before heading to find Cynthia Shianus, who is currently in the guest room's bathroom. "Um, Ms. Shianus? Cynthia? Are you there?" he asks while knocking on the door of her room. "Hello?"
Cynthia's POV:
Currently in a bath towel after a small period of bathing, alerted from Hayashi knocking on her door. 'Oh no oh no! Where are my skirt and shirt!? Wait, it is on the bed…gyaaaagh!' she thought. 'Wait, is my hair okay? I hope it is dry enough,' she thought while drying it with another towel. "Cynthia? I'm coming in," she heard him saying as he enters the room. "Hyaaahhh! Wait!" she yelled out of the bathroom, revealing her nearly naked state in a bath towel to Azumi.
Hayashi's POV:
"Eh? Eeeeehhh!?" he yelled, surprised from what he sees is a half-naked beautiful blushing Cynthia. 'Face, bosom, body, near, naked' he thought with a bleeding nose and plugging it from the sight before averting his eyes. "I'm shorry!" he apologizes, "I'll go for you to–". "I-i-it's fine…" she says. "Eh?" "As long it is just you, Azu-kun, I d-d-do not mind things like these but," she covers her chest and gets her shirt before wearing it, "Please do not stare at me so intently", she says before wearing her skirt with a very flushed face. "Y-yes Cynthia, I promise to not stare at your glorious bo–!" he covers his mouth before the last part, making her blush even more.
"Ahem, anyway, I have something to talk about right now…,"he says "Will you, um, go with me on, a date?" he asks with an embarrassed tone and face. "Ah, um, what's a date?" she asks, making Azumi trip from the statement. "It is what young people like us go out to know each other more while having fun with each other's company. It can be called–". "Ah! Courtship! That's what you, wait, huh!? Really!?" she asks with excitement and shock. "Yes, will you?" he asks again before getting a tackle-hug from Cynthia. "Yes! I would be ashamed if I reject this chance to know you more Azu-kun!" she says while hugging him tightly. "That'sh, cool," he says while near suffocation.
Time skip: After getting properly dressed and exiting the house…
Our little mixed-couple is currently walking in the city, but with an awkward atmosphere around the both of them while bystanders stare at the odd couple. 'Oh man, this is not good, this tense, oh well, hope I won't regret this' he thought before grasping her soft feminine, yet slightly calloused hands, surprising her. "It is fine, Cynthia, these people are still adjusting to having demi-humans around, trust in me," he assures. "Thank you. Azu-kun, I like that sentiment" she says. They are just walking until a foreign couple crosses their path, only to stop before taunting: "Whoa what!? A centaur girl, with a scrawny guy, like, what the hell is that, how is he bang her with that small dick of his, hahaha!" says the male sleeze. "Yucks! What strange dude would take care of her, hahah!" says the female vixen.
Cynthia broke into little tears from hearing the lecherous comments of the man then notices Azumi approaching the couple then does strong finger flicks on both of their foreheads, dazing them, "Ow! What the hell was that for you bastar–" "I believe that is quite enough disciplining for today, let this teach you that you should mind your manners in public, okay?" says the calm Hayashi. "Why you little brat!" he yells while trying to throw a punch that got caught and twisted with an Aikido spin grip before getting Judo-thrown and pinned with a Ryokudo-grip by his wrist. "Owowowowow, what the– ow!" says the pained man being pinned by the wrist grip. "Make no mistake, hurt her once more, I'll end you rightly, do I make myself clear, compadre?" he states. "Hyaaahh!" the man runs away screaming with an aching arm and his weird girlfriend.
"Well that takes care of that, how are you Cynthia– eh!?" says the surprised Hayashi upon seeing a blushing teary-eyed Cynthia. "W-w-w-What's wrong Cynthia!?" asked Hayashi. "I'm sorry, I'm just, overwhelmed, with how dashing you have become earlier," says Cynthia as she wipes off her tears happily. Then suddenly, bystanders nearby slowly started to applaud the couple, making the situation and atmosphere too even more awkward for them. So, Hayashi took Cynthia's hand then went to a nearby store to escape the ground. "Fuaahh, I think we lost them, now we just– huh!?" he exclaimed.
Before our protagonist could even react, he realized that he landed into a lingerie store. "Ummmm, let's g–", he was cut off by Cynthia, who is grasping his hand before saying: "Azu-kun, please don't leave me just yet, I needed something here, because, I-I am in need for a couple o-of undergarments," says the blushing Cynthia, making the embarrassed Hayashi blush redder. "O-okay then, let's see what we could, find?" he says before spotting someone familiar. "Wait, Kurusu-senpai, is that you!?" he exclaims as he pointed at the black-haired man. "OH Hayashi! It's nice seeing you here again! How is school doing? Anything interesting?" Kimihito looks at the female centaur next to Hayashi. "Waitaminute, Hayashi, don't tell me, did you–?" "Sign up as a host? Yep, but I find it fun, hehe," says Hayashi.
"Good that you are, I too am a host but–" Kurusu paused from snake body wrapping around his body then gets dragged into one of the fitting rooms before screaming, "hyaaah! Wait wait wait! Miia!?" "Oook, anyways, lets find some underwear that may fit your ummmm, sizes," says the embarrassed Hayashi. "Y-yes, thank you Azu-kun, I trust in your expertise in aiding me," says the heart-touched Cynthia. "Cool lets, wait, what was that–nevermind, lets go," says Hayashi as they start searching the store for suitable underwear for Cynthia.
Time skip: Few hours later…
"I'm terribly sorry sir, but I'm afraid we do not have those sizes in stock," says the store clerk. "Man, sorry Cynthia, we go to plan-B this time, which is making them from scratch," says Hayashi. "Oh I s– what!?" exclaims Cynthia, "Azu-kun! Can you really!?" "I did try having some lessons from school and from Kurusu-senpai, and they seem enough for me, I hope…" he says before getting pulled into a gentle hug by Cynthia. "Thank you Azu-kun, maybe that is why I lo–",she stops as her stomach grumbles with hunger. 'Wait, that was too close, thank you my wild belly, you saved me today,' she thought then turns away to hide her embarrassment. "Heh, it is alright Cynthia, I am famished too, lets go grab a bite, shall we?" he says while extending his hand.
Time skip: They stopped at a nearby Starbucks then finished ordering…
Now Hayashi is currently enjoying his "date" with Cynthia, who ordered warm milk and cold salad, while sipping his Dark Mocha frappucino and eating a sandwich. "So wait, review, you have older sisters?" he asked. "Yes, but, technically, they are stepsisters, but we never mind that," she answered. "I see, sounds like a tough and rough family Cynthia, I apologize in advance," he says. "Oh no! It was not bad, actually, it is part of tradition, you see…," she stuttered for a moment. "I see, I think I am getting a glimpse of what you mean, but it won't change the fact that you are your own person. You may choose to follow your traditions or follow your ambitions. Whichever the decision, I am still by your side, Cynthia," he says as he grasps her hand tightly. "Azu-kun…," she paused.
"My my, what a sight I must say," says Ms. Smith next to their table. "Ms. Smith!?" he exclaims and stands up after letting go of Cynthia's hand, "wh-wha-what are you doing here!?...And, what are you wearing?" "I was just in the area after trying to catch a misunderstood host with his homestay at a nearby love-hotel. I take it that your "field trip" is going really smooth, if I say so myself, huhu," says the teasing Smith. "Please just leave and give us some peace, it is somewhat rude to ignore people's privacy rights," Hayashi answers. "Oh, I see, well then, take care mister Hayashi, have a nice day," Smith says before leaving in her car. "Well, lets go Cynthia, it's getting dark and I have yet to fix dinner right now," Hayashi says. "It is okay, I have, learned a lot about you as you have with me. I'd say it is the climax for our "first date"," she says, making Hayashi blush while taking her hand.
