Chapter 49
Today was a brand new day as Aiko woke up peacefully from her sleep as she let out a yawn as she rubbed her eyes as she looked out the window. As the sun was shining as she smiled brightly as she took the hair brush from her vanity to brush her hair as she heard a phone ring as she picked it up.
" Hello?" Aiko said
" Hey Aiko!"
" T-Toriko-kun? Wait how did you get this number?!" Aiko said ' I didn't give out this number to any of them...' She though
" I asked komatsu since you sometimes help him" toriko said " Are you busy?"
" Im not busy I just woke up. " Aiko said
" I was wondering if you'd like to help me find some materials to build my house" toriko said
" what happened to your house?" Aiko asked
" it got eaten when I was gone, so I called smile to build me a new one" toriko said " wanna help?"
As a small smile appeared in aiko's face. " yeah I'd love to help you" she said
" Yeah! You remember where it is right? Or do you want me to come and get you?" Toriko asked
" no I'm fine I can go alone " Aiko said as she looked out the window to see the nature deer relaxing in the shade of a tree.
" Oh, okay then" toriko said as Aiko could've sworn she heard a slight disappointed sound of his voice from toriko.
As she hung up the phone she quickly showered and got dressed in a light blue sleeveless dress with cream leggings underneath as she put on her flats as she took her backpack and a two bento box lunches as she locked the door of her house as Aina looked at Aiko.
" Aina wanna come with me to visit a friend?" Aiko asked
As Aina nod as she got up from her comfy spot as she followed Aiko. aiko knows that the deer is still getting used to her new surroundings and every time they go someplace Aina always stick close to her. As they walked as a few minutes passed as the two saw a certain bluenette happily eating a giant piece of meat. As Terry immediately barked happily as she ran towards Aiko making Aina jumped behind aiko.
" Terry!" Aiko exclaimed as she petted Terry as Terry happily barked and licked Aiko as Aiko giggled loudly. " That tickles! Terry! " as Toriko stopped eating as he saw Aiko as he smiled lightly as he got up.
" Hey Aiko! " Toriko said as he bit into the meat as Aiko smiled at him.
" Toriko-kun! I brought Aina with me too I'd figured it be more fun that way" Aiko said
" you named her Aina? Meaning green vegetables. That suits her" Toriko said
" yep, oh I brought something for lunch since I though you'd be hungry it's for you " Aiko said holding the bento box to Toriko as he blushed looking at Aiko holding the lunch box. As he immediately Pictured Aiko in his kitchen wearing a cute apron blushing holding out a bento box to him decorated really cutely for him to eat.
' ...Gah keep it together Toriko this is not the time for daydreaming! ' Toriko though as he held out his hand as he felt their fingers brushed for each other for a few seconds. As he saw her smiling at him.
As they sat in the grass as Toriko offered her some crab pig to Aiko as she accepted it as Toriko opened the box lunch that Aiko prepared for him as he smiled.
" Ooh! Aiko it looks so good!" Toriko said looking at the box as it was filled with delicious looking food.
" I don't know if you'll like Toriko-Kun" Aiko said as she played with her hair as she twirled her hair nervously.
" Are you kidding? You know I'd love anything that you cook Aiko! So don't doubt your cooking skills!" Toriko exclaimed as he took a bite of the bento as he froze for a minute.
" Toriko-kun? H-how is it?" Aiko asked
" YUM! Aiko you're food is always good!" Toriko said " I really love it Aiko! if only you were my wife so that I'd be able to eat like this everyday!" As he stopped as he blushed red at what he just said ' Did I just say that? Gah! I'm so stupid!' He mentally cursed himself as he glanced at Aiko as he saw a slight blush on her which he though was cute.
" T-Thanks T-Toriko-kun that's really sweet of you to say that" Aiko said as she smiled brightly as she still had a bit of color on her cheeks.
As the two finished their meal as toriko got up. As he held out his hand to Aiko as she reached for his hand.
' her hand really is small...and soft...I don't wanna let go of her...' Toriko though
" um Toriko-kun you can let go of my hand now..." Aiko said
as Toriko immediately let go of her hand since he held it for too long as he slightly blushed as he let put a slight cough since he was a little embarrassed.
" Okay! How about we go hunting for building materials?" Toriko said as Aiko nod in agreement as the other three animals agreed also.
As they ventured to find the materials for the house.
" Toriko-kun look what I found!" Aiko exclaimed as Toriko hurried over.
" Oh! Mushroom pudding!" Toriko said " there's plenty growing around here, let's bring some back as materials for the house"
" yeah that's sounds good" Aiko said
" Hey Aiko look! A doughnutsnail!" Toriko exclaimed " looks tasty!"
As obasaurus made a sound as the two bishokuya turn to see a giant white rock.
" those look good too" Aiko said
" the giant boulder like marshmallows. Marshmalrock" Toriko said
As the two looked a fluffy pink tree.
" Ooh a cotton candy tree!" Aiko said as picked a little bit off to eat.
" this naturally grows amazing cotton candy!" Toriko said as they saw a cookie alpaca happily eating from a branch. " Aiko look it's a cookie alpaca!" As Toriko glanced at Terry. " you're up Terry!" As Terry barked at a rapid speed chase after the Cookie alpaca Terry swiftly grabbed all of the cookies without harming the animal.
" Oh! Good girl Terry!" Aiko said as she petted Terry
" nice job Terry" Toriko said as he turn to see obsaurus that had something in its mouth. " nice one ob! You got some lotusconbu! Those sukonbu leaves are a delicacy!"
As the group kept on walking to look for more ingredients as they stumbled upon a giant lake.
" it's a soda water lake" Toriko said as he put his things aside " I'll be right back!" As he jumped in as Aiko followed as set put her things aside jumping in the water as she looked around for Toriko as she saw him looking at the jelly fish as she swam to him. As a few brightly colored fish swam playfully around her as she smiled unknown to her that Toriko is watching her swim.
' She looks so cute like that...like a cute little mermaid...' Toriko though as he felt a slight blush on his cheeks as Aiko swam fast to him as she saw something in his hand as she took his other hand and she smiled at him as they swam to the surface.
" Aiko look I found something interesting" Toriko said holding it to her as the two swam to shore as Toriko used his gourmet stick to analyze the ingredient. " it's sweet coral this looks tasty too"
" it looks pretty Toriko-kun" Aiko said
As the small group walked to a different location as the stopped at a dry surface.
