Chapter 44: Together ~Date with a Maiden~ (part 1)
Sunday: the day that Momo and I go on a date. I was so excited! My whole body shivered of excitement. I didn't even get to sleep because I anticipated the day to arrive so soon. But of course, before I prepared for it, I had to do something first.
I opened my computer and did research on Devilukean laws. However, seeing as the internet can only find searches limited to the Earth only, I didn't find anything. I had to borrow Mikado's laptop because it covered the whole galaxy's network.
"Sure, I'll lend it." she said, "But what for?"
"Research."
"Okay, but don't search for naughty pictures!" she replied.
"Why would I do that?!"
After that, I started my search. I typed in deviluke laws and the results popped up. I opened the site and browsed its content. Since I was looking to find more information on royal engagements, I looked at their marriage laws. There I saw the rules for conducting engagements as well as how to cancel it. What Momo said was true: The only way out was the reverse of the engagement. So I had no choice but to do it.
Then while looking, I suddenly stumbled upon a law about concubines. I read it further and it stated that the king may have a harem of his own. It seemed interesting, but it was irrelevant, so I ignored it.
After a little bit of stretching, I prepared myself for the date. I wore my most comfortable clothes and went out. But just as I was about to leave, Oshizu appeared and asked where I was going.
"J-just meeting up with someone..."
"Dressed like that?" she asked.
"Yeah, why?"
What was wrong with hoodie and jeans? I actually found it stylish.
Then she took out her phone and called a friend, "Sorry for bothering you, but could you come over? Really? Thanks!"
For a moment there, it sounded like she was talking to herself. Then she told me to stay a while. A minute later, a girl barged into the front door. It was Ren's sister, Run.
"I came here as fast as I could!" she exclaimed.
"You didn't have to..."
"Okay!" she said as she called her personal designers, "Let's get to work!"
Then they pushed me back to my room and changed my clothes. I now wore a yellow shirt with a simple design, topped with a bright-colored parka and light pants. It wasn't quite my style, but I guess it didn't really matter what I wore.
"Can I go now?"
"Sure!" they said, "Good luck!"
Oshizu and Run acted kinda weird, but they still helped me get dressed, so I still owed them. And with that, I left the house and headed straight to our meeting place. On the way, I spotted Yui-senpai in a pet shop looking at cats.
"Yui-senpai!"
She saw me and greeted, "O-oh, Yume! I-it's nice to see you!"
"Senpai, do you like cats?"
Flustered, she said, "A-actually, I have to go! See you tomorrow!"
"Okay, bye senpai!"
Then she walked away, all flustered. I wondered why she acted like that. She probably didn't want anyone to see her looking at cats or something. Actually, I was kind of glad she left. If she'd have stayed a little longer, I'd end up telling her that I groped Momo's breasts and we're engaged. Yeah, I'm not good at keeping secrets.
I continued walking to the park. When I got there, I saw a beautiful girl seated beside the rows of flowers. It was Momo, wearing a yellow summer dress with a small coat and sandals. Her hair flowed with the wind, and she fixed it as it blew. She sat there gracefully, whispering (talking?) to the plants. Feeling nervous and excited at the same time, I came over there and greeted her.
"M-Momo... Y-you look b-b-beautiful..."
She smiled and replied, "Thank you."
My heart beat like crazy. It was as if a hundred of cupid's arrows hit my heart. She was so beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off her.
"H-Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just got here as well." she answered.
It was still unbelievable that I was had a date with her. It was like a flag that no one had seen yet. I had only dreamed of it and now it was happening. But since it was no dating sim and had no save state, I had to make the most of it.
"S-so... W-where do you want to go?"
Since she was the one who asked me out, she would have to pick. It had to be a special place like the top of a hill where we could see the sun as it sets or a flower garden where we could frolic around the flowers all day, and somehow it would lead to a kiss. However, it was none of those places. Instead, we went to... A video game store.
"Umm... What are we doing here?"
"Oh, a new game was just released." she said, "I want to be the first to buy it!"
The place was so unexpected. I never thought she'd pick a video game store. It was... Perfect! I had always wanted to go to the store with a girl! And it finally happened! I never thought I'd meet someone who liked video games just as much as me. We went in and looked for the game. We checked every corner until I found it. As I was about to reach for it, my hand bumped into another. I looked to see who it was and saw Momo.
"Ah! S-sorry!"
"It's fine." she said.
It was like something out of a romance manga. Boy bumping into girl and stuff like that. I gave her the game and she was overjoyed.
"I've been waiting for this game for a long time!" she exclaimed.
Looking closely at the cd case, I saw the cover and thought it was familiar. Then I realized that it was actually the new game, "Bishoujo lover". I saw the preview before and planned to buy it when it was released. It was also a coincidence that Momo wanted the game as well. I looked to see if there was another copy, but I couldn't find another one. When we went to the counter to purchase the game, I asked if there was another copy. Unfortunately, the cashier said that what we had was the last copy. Well, there goes my efforts.
Then as I was pouting, Momo looked at me and said, "You know, I still have some games left unfinished. How about I lend it to you?"
"A-are you sure?!"
"Yep! As long as you bring it back undamaged." she replied.
"T-thank you!"
Then we left the store and planned on where to go next.
"It's your turn to choose." she said, "It has to be somewhere dark and quiet."
I had no idea why she would suggest a place like that. Well, it was her suggestion, might as well take it. It was my first date, and I didn't want to ruin it by going somewhere boring. But it should also be a memorable place. What would be dark and quiet and would make a lot of memories? Couldn't I just choose randomly? Argh! Dates were not like dating sims at all!
