Chapter 45: Together ~Date with a Maiden~ (part 2)

I was faced with the most difficult decision: where will I take Momo? She suggested that it should be dark and quiet. I'm not sure why she suggested it, but it didn't really matter. As long as it's a memorable place, I'd be fine with it.

The first place I could think of was the cinema.

"It's a good place too start. It's dark, it's quiet..."

However, she replied, "Well... I guess we could try it there..."

"Try what?"

She didn't reply and started walking.

"Hurry up!" She exclaimed.

It kinda seemed like she wanted to finish it quickly. I was both disappointed and excited. We went to the first theater, which was showing the horror movie, "Ghost of Ono high". The movie just started when we walked in. I wanted to sit in front, but she suggested that we should sit at the back where no one could see us. I didn't give it an ounce of thought and just did what she asked and sat at the back. We watched the movie together. Actually, I shut my eyes the whole time. Horror movies aren't really my thing.

Halfway through it, however, Momo called my attention. "...No one's looking..." she said.

Then she held my hand and brought it closer to her chest. Holding her hand was enough to paralyze me. She brought it closer and closer to her breast. So that was what she was up to all this time. She was trying to cancel the engagement. I thought she had forgotten all about it.

"...W-wait...!"

I tried to look away from it and turned to the screen. But at that moment, the scene got gruesome and I jumped and accidentally hit her juice cup. It spilled all over her skirt, drenched with sticky liquid.

"I-I'm sor-"

However, before I could finish, she grabbed my hand and dragged me outside.

"That was the perfect chance!" she exclaimed, irritated by the fact that I didn't grope her breasts.

"S-sorry..."

"And now my skirt's wet..." she added.

I felt bad for her, for plenty of reasons. I should have groped her, but it just felt wrong... Anyway, even though she was still dry inside her clothes, we had to prioritize her wet skirt because her undergarments were already visible and it kinda looked like she wet herself.

"L-let's do something about your clothes first..."

So we went to a boutique shop and looked for some clothes. I remembered that she liked the color green, so I went and looked for cute green clothes. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one, but I did find a cute summer hat. Perhaps she would like it, so I took it and went to show it to her. But when I turned around, she wasn't there. I looked for her around the shop, then suddenly, someone pulled me inside the changing room. And with my own eyes, I saw Momo and her voluptuous body, wearing only her underwear.

"W-wait...!"

"Shhh...! Be quiet or they'll hear us...!" she replied.

She unhooked her bra slowly, and when it was finally off, she grabbed my hands and positioned it close to her naked breasts.

"L-let's do it... one more time..." she said, looking all red.

She insisted on having me grope her, but I refused. I respect women and their bodies, so I knew that groping her was wrong. What happened before was just an accident, so it didn't count. But she kept insisting and forced my hands to her breasts.

Then just as I was about to touch it, a saleslady interrupted us from outside, asking, "Miss, are you okay?"

The startled Momo replied, "Y-yes! I'm fine!"

Then the saleslady left and gave her more time to dress.

"...I guess this place isn't good enough..." she commented.

Then I left the room and waited for her to finish changing. After a while, she left the room wearing a light blouse, a small coat and a miniskirt. She looked cute, it suited her perfectly.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"You look lovely..."

We went to the cashier and I paid for everything.

"Wait! Let me pay for it!" she said.

"Too late. Already did. Besides, you lent me the game, I owe you."

"Then... Thank you..." she responded.

"N-no problem..."

Then the cashier sighed and told us to do the talking outside, "You're holding up the line."

We immediately left afterwards. While walking, we thought of our next destination. Again, she suggested somewhere dark and quiet. She still hadn't given up on the whole thing.

"C-can't we just go to a coffee shop or something?"

"We can't, there's too many people in a maid cafe."

I didn't say maid cafe, I said coffee shop. She probably misheard it. But how could she mistake coffee shop from maid cafe? Oh well... Then as we were walking, a group of big, scary thugs surrounded us and pushed me away from her.

"W-what are you doing?!"

They ignored me and began harassing Momo:

"So, what's a babe like you walking all alone?" One thug asked while playing with her hair.

"Come with us! We'll show you a good time!" another thug added while caressing her arm.

The other thugs looked at her with ill intent and acted as if I didn't exist. I couldn't have them do as they pleased, but what could a coward like me do? They probably knew that I was afraid and forgot about me. It was the perfect opportunity to beat them up. But I was weak and fragile, so I just stood there and watched as they picked on her. But suddenly, one thug reached for her breasts. A sense of responsibility was awakened inside me. I immediately ran to her rescue, despite having cold feet.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!"

I positioned myself in front of Momo, with arms spread and legs firm.

"Don't you dare touch her..."

Then suddenly, I had this desire to kill them. It was the darkness. It wanted me to kill to protect her. The darkness was so overwhelming, it even affected my rationality. But before I could do anything else, I felt a dark aura emanating from Momo. her eyes got darker and her stare got scarier.

"...Leave us alone... Now..." she said as she gave a dangerous glare to each of them.

The thugs got scared and ran off, leaving the two of us alone. Eventually, her dark aura disappeared, and so did the darkness.

We were spared, but a sense of guilt still bothered me. I kneeled on the floor and apologized.

"I-I'm sorry! I couldn't protect you!"

She smiled and replied, "you came for me, didn't you? That's enough, right?"

"No, it isn't! Protecting you was my primary objective! And I failed!"

She responded "I-it's fine, really. You don't have to-"

"I wanted to protect you... to stay beside you... forever and ever..."

Then she blushed and replied, "A-are you saying...!"

Then suddenly, a crowd of cats started running towards us, completely changing the mood.

"C-cats?! W-where did they come from?!"

"I don't know!" she replied, "but we should run!"

Panicked, we ran away and hid in a dark alley. The cats ran by us, we were safe. I asked if she was okay. Then I saw her arms around my neck and was cornered by my arms. My heart beat like crazy. I didn't know what to do at that situation.

Then she broke the silence and asked, "What did you mean...?"

"What?"

She repeated herself, "What did you mean when you said you wanted to stay beside me?"

It was all so sudden. I didn't know what to reply back. Then I made up my mind. It was the moment of truth. I had to confess my feelings!
