Chapter 18: Drinking with Mukuro
Author's Note:
Don't get the wrong idea. They are drinking beverages :)
While thinking about it, Shido walked quickly to the familiar shopping street, and saw Mukuro waiting in a cute costume.
Mukuro obviously dressed up lovely: A light blue one-piece dress, a small pink-purple short shawl coat, a pair of black riding boots, and a necklace of lavender crystal around the neck. It was a gift that Shido bought for her last time on a date.
Mukuro saw Shido from a distance and ran over excitedly, then slammed into the arms of Shido.
Shido gently hugged Mukuro, then separated. He liked to have such close contact with her, but the gazes around him made him very uncomfortable.
Let's save the hugs and kisses for later.
Shido held Mukuro's hand, clasping his ten fingers around her soft fingers. Mukuro's hand was warm and very comfortable to hold.
Mukuro lowered her head shyly, looked at her clasped hands, smiled sweetly, for she knew that their date was about to begin!
The two came to the familiar "Angel Dessert Shop", Shido took the initiative to open the door, and then said to the waitress inside:
"Hello, there will be two of us..."
"Two, right? Please come this way!"
Nanami nodded gently, and then realized that the person who came was actually Shido who had only been here yesterday!
And what he brought this time was not the little girl from yesterday, but the girl who had been here before.
Nanami glanced at the girl suspiciously. She clearly remembered that Shido said yesterday that this girl was no longer in this world, so how did she come with her again today?
Sure enough, Shido was a scumbag full of lies!
After the two sat down, they were in the same position as yesterday: The quiet and comfortable corner.
Shido took a look at the menu, and there was nothing new. After all, he just came yesterday, so he immediately decided to have a couple's package. Mukuro will definitely like it.
Shido turned around and was about to find Nanami to place an order, but was interrupted by her.
"It's a couple's package again, isn't it?"
Nanami said indifferently. Her attitude was very rude, but in the face of a peerless scum like Shido, she really couldn't calm down. She wanted to expose the other party very much. As long as the girls knew his true color, they wouldn't be deceived again.
It was a pity that she had no evidence.
Just like yesterday's little girl, her obvious hints were useless to this blonde girl. She seemed to be more devotedly in love than Kotori.
Second, she was still working, so cynicism like this could be inappropriate. She couldn't afford to start a quarrel with her customers.
Shido glanced at Nanami curiously. He always felt that the personality of this girl had changed a lot from when he watched anime before, but he didn't care too much. After all, he didn't have any idea about this girl.
Nanami sighed, and didn't know how to stop Shido from deceiving girls. She was very troubled, but she had to continue working first...
Shido gazed seriously at the amethyst necklace on Mukuro's chest...
"What's wrong?"
Mukurogui blushed and asked a little shyly. Although she had been a couple with Shido for a certain amount of time, being together with him still made her shy, not to mention being looked at so intently.
Shido smiled, and then explained:
"Muku looks so beautiful in this necklace!"
Mukuro's face turned redder, but she smiled happily:
"This is from Nushi-sama to Muku, of course it looks good..."
"By the way! The bento today is very delicious, you have worked so hard to prepare it for me!"
Shido gently touched Mukuro's head. He knew that Mukuro had spent a lot of time and thoughts to make that bento, so he was very moved.
"It's not hard work, if it can make Nushi-sama eat happily, it's all worth it!"
Mukuro smiled sweetly, enjoying Shido's headpat.
Shido remembered the words he said at noon, and couldn't help but say to Mukuro:
"Muku, I love you!"
"Nushi-sama, Muku loves you too..."
Mukuro replied without hesitation, she had never doubted Shido's love for her, but she would never feel that her love was less than her counterpart's.
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
At this time, Nanami naturally heard the dialogue between the two and couldn't help but sighed. If Shido was not a scumbag, they would be a pair of beautiful couple.
However, Shido often brought different girls to the dessert shop, ordering the same couple's package. It was impossible for Nanami to believe that this was a good man with a serious heart.
In fact, Shido was indeed very serious. He only liked the Spirits, which could be regarded as serious in that context.
"Enjoy..."
Nanami put down the drink in her hand. This time she didn't say much, simply turned and left. She was worried that she would not be able to control herself.
The drink for lovers was the same as yesterday's heart-shaped straws. The difference was that this time it's red juice, which was the hair color of Kotori. Nanami wanted to remind Shido that he had only been with Kotori yesterday, so don't go too far!
But her reminder had no effect. As always, she saw Shido biting one side of the straw, and then gestured Mukuro to do the same.
It was not the first time Mukuro came, so she was not as shy as Kotori from yesterday. She lowered her head and bit the other side's straw to enjoy the sweet juice together.
After drinking half of it, the two separated. The two of them had done a lot of more intimate things, but drinking from the same cup in this way still made them blush.
Just as Shido wanted to say something, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and walked into the dessert shop.
The strange thing was that Nanami, who was standing by the door, didn't serve the girl right away...
It was Mai Sakurajima, the Bunny Girl Senpai, who came to this shop. However, the current Mai did not wear the well-known Bunny Girl costume, but just an ordinary school uniform.
It seemed that she followed Shido directly after school.
But obviously, Mai was currently in a state of adolescence syndrome, and no one else could see her. Otherwise, with Nanami's professionalism, it would be impossible not to serve this guest in a minute.
Mai walked into the dessert shop, her face was not as uneasy as yesterday. On the contrary, she was a little excited. She looked around nervously, and finally her gaze landed on Shido sitting in the corner.
Mai smiled lightly. Naturally, she didn't come to eat desserts alone. In fact, she came all the way to see Shido.
At noon today, she found her cousin, Hiratsuka sensei from the school, and asked about what happened in the morning, wanting to know if she had found anything.
She didn't explain too much in the morning, but said that a teenage boy helped her a lot yesterday, so she wanted to thank him in person. Judging from Hiratsuka's character, she would definitely try to help her.
The cousin's reply was that there was a suitable candidate, but she couldn't be sure.
After some exchanges, Mai knew that the boy named Shido had dated his girlfriend after school yesterday, maybe he was the person she wanted to find.
Therefore, the purpose of Mai's trip was to confirm what kind of person Shido was.
Although she still didn't know that her condition was called adolescence syndrome, she knew how and when it would manifest.
In the morning, there didn't seem to be any problems, but in the afternoon, she suddenly became transparent.
No one else on the street could see her anymore, nor could they hear her voice, even if it was her touch, there was no way to feel it.
Mai was worried that one day she might disappear from this world!
That's why she wanted to find a way to break the curse. Just last night, she put on a bunny girl for the first time and wandered around the street.
This was the first time she was walking on the street wearing such clothes. She was very shy, but when she found that no one saw her, she lost all her shyness.
Wearing this dress was natural to make herself stand out. If other people could see her, they would definitely stare at her, then she could easily find this person.
However, she found nothing that night, and finally got a little hungry, so she wanted to buy some strawberry Mochi.
But the proprietress of the Mochi shop couldn't hear her voice, so she couldn't buy anything. As she almost reached despair, she found a box of strawberry Mochi next to her. From the proprietress's mouth, she learned that this was specially left to her by a teenage boy, which rekindled her hope!
If someone could see her, then they could find a way to make everyone see her again. Mai genuinely hoped so
Therefore, Mai needed to find a junior named Shido to see if the other person was the one who could see her, and if so, she must do everything possible to get the other person to help!
For this purpose, Mai has been following him from school to the shopping street, finally watching the two enter the dessert shop.
Mai didn't walk in right away. After all, it didn't make much sense. She waited for a while, and finally waited until the strange situation on her body broke out. When everyone on the street began to ignore her, she opened the door and walked in. ...
Sure enough, neither the waitress nor the other guests could see her, so now she went to Shido and she should be able to find the answer she wanted!
Mai smiled lightly and walked towards the direction of Shido…
Shido naturally noticed Mai's approach, but he didn't look at it much. After all, no one else could see her. As a 'normal high school student', he naturally shouldn't be able to.
He knew that Hiratsuka had told him about his affairs, but he couldn't blame the other party either.
Because Hiratsuka didn't know what was going on, she had no idea that he didn't want to interact with these girls too much.
Shido continued to look at Mukuro, admiring her dress, but at the same time he was also cautious, because he didn't want to expose anything in front of Mai.
"Hey~ I know you can see me!"
Mai asked directly, and then sat next to Mukuro.
Shido would naturally not answer, and at the same time, he also knew that Mukuro could not feel the presence of Mai, otherwise she would have reacted.
Shido recalled that in the story of "Bunny Girl Senpai", Mai disappeared because other people had forgotten her existence, then she became "the air".
Mukuro couldn't see Mai, probably because she didn't know this person from the beginning. Shido could see her simply because he watched her anime.
But even after thinking about it so much, Shido still didn't plan to help her. Unlike Utaha Kasumigaoka and the others, Mai did pretty well in the original anime. Although she had encountered danger, she eventually made everything alright thanks to Sakuta.
Shido continued to enjoy the couple's package calmly, but when he lowered his head to drink , he found that Mai was approaching...
Seeing the playful smile of the bunny girl senpai and the gesture of drinking the drink, it seemed that she wanted to drink with him!
Shido couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect Mai to be so bold, which made him a little at a loss.
If he retreated now, the other party would know that he could see her, but if he continued to drink, it would be like cheating on Mukuro in front of her.
Facing this dilemma, Shido hesitated, what should he do?
Suddenly, Shido had an idea. He didn't think Mai was such a casual person, so Shido believed she was just testing him.
But in the same way, Shido didn't think Mai was very conservative. After all, she could wear a bunny girl outfit and walk around in it. Even if others couldn't see it, you should still feel very shy.
This reminded him of the time when he was dressing up as Shiori. At that time, he was wearing a light skirt and walking on the street. Although others did not know it was him, it was indeed very shameful...
Shido considered it carefully. He couldn't guarantee that Mai would not really come to drink the couple's drink together, so he could only find a way to make the other person afraid to do so.
The method was very simple: Shido suddenly turned the cup half a circle and reversed the positions of the two sides of the straw...
Right now, the straw he had sucked was facing Mai, and on his own side, it was the straw that Mukuro had just drunk from.
Seeing this, Mukuro, who was sitting opposite, blushed again, and couldn't help asking:
"Nushi-sama, what are you doing?"
Shido smiled lightly and explained:
"It is said that exchanging straws is the real way to enjoy a couple's drink. This behavior has a mysterious magic power and can make the couple love each other forever... This is what the waitress told me just now! "
"No I didn't! Stop this nonsense!"
Nanami, who was serving other guests, yelled in her heart. Shido was really a brazen person that wanted to trick pure girls into kissing him indirectly!
Nanami trembled angrily, clenching her fists, but in the end she could only endure it, gritting her teeth and continuing her work...
On the other side, Mai was also stunned. Exactly as Shido thought, she just wanted to test him and see how the other party reacted.
If the other party pretended to drink it, then she wouldn't mind drinking together. She just had to pay attention to the other party's expression and see if the other party had any strange looks, then she could tell whether the other party was acting or not.
But the situation was different now: Drinking from the same straw was too much for a young maiden like her!
In addition, the mysterious magic power that Shido mentioned just now would make people love each other. Although she did not think it was true, she would still refrain from doing so.
She wanted to find Shido for something, and wouldn't mind making intimate actions like drinking a couple's drink together, but it didn't mean that she liked the boy. She didn't know him, and he already had a girlfriend.
Mai hesitated for a moment. She wondered if Shido deliberately wanted her to retreat, but in the end she could only sigh, because in any case, she couldn't drink the boy's saliva. The straws…
While Mai was hesitant, Shido and Mukuro had finished drinking the red drink.
Mukuro didn't have to worry about what Mai was worrying about, after all, she had kissed Shido directly so many times. What's more, Mukuro liked the magic power of eternal love mentioned by Shido, so she didn't mind drinking from the same straw with Shido.
"Very sweet!"
Shido licked his lips and said contentedly, not knowing whether he was talking about a drink or the straw...
"Nushi-sama..."
Mukuro looked at Shido with expectant eyes, suddenly had the idea of kissing him, but she controlled herself because she knew that he didn't like being too eye-catching.
Let's go home and kiss!
Mukuro nodded lightly, then kept biting the straw, lightly raising her head to look at Shido from time to time.
At this time, another waitress took all the remaining desserts. The style seemed to be different from yesterday's. It should satisfy the frequent customers.
"Stop biting the straw, let's have some desserts!"
Shido smiled slightly, he could roughly guess what Mukuro was thinking, but it would be useless to bite the straw here. They would have to kiss at home, or maybe in the Space Museum.
"Nushi-sama, ah~"
Mukuro closed her eyes and opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to play feed.
Mukuro was too cute! He wanted to kiss her, but he calmed himself down. He took a sip of mango pudding and sent it to her mouth.
"Delicious..."
Mukuro nodded contentedly.
"It's really good!"
Shido agreed, and he took a bite himself, using the spoon just now, it was another indirect kiss.
"Nushi-sama, I want more..."
Mukuro tried to act coquettishly with Shido. She knew that the gentle Shido would not refuse her.
Shido nodded and fed again.
After all, being a couple for so long, indirect kissing was no longer a big deal. Once it started for the first time, it would continue naturally.
"Muku's satisfied..."
Mukuro rubbed her stomach. Sure enough, dating Shido was a very happy thing.
"If you like, we can come again next time!"
Shido smiled lightly, touched Mukuro's head, and said indulgently.
"Next time... let's go somewhere else."
Mukuro shook her head. Although the desserts here were very good, it would be a bit boring to come here every time for a date.
And she also hoped that Shido could spend more time thinking about other dating places.
"No problem!"
Shido patted his chest and promised that he must find other good places before Mukuro came to this world next time.
Shido checked the time on his phone and found that there was still a little time before the entrance of the Space Museum at night, so he did not rush to leave, but continued to sit in the dessert shop and continue his love affair with Mukuro. ...
And as for Mai, who was still sitting aside at this time, was completely messed up. She was very angry now. The two of them ignored her and showed their affection on the sidelines. This was too much!
Of course, Mai would still distinguish the priorities. She knows that the top priority now was to determine whether Shido could really see her. As for the lovey-dovey play, she would resolve it later.
Until just now, Shido had not revealed anything sus.
But because of this, Mai felt that he was more sus.
Mai thought for a while. She didn't have much to do anyway, so she would just keep following Shido like this!
If Shido was really like other people and could not see her, then whatever she did would not affect the other person. For Shido, it would just be a very ordinary date with his girlfriend.
But if he could see her but pretended to be ignorant, he would definitely feel very annoyed. After all, a random girl was messing with his sweet date with his girlfriend. Normal people would definitely not be able to bear it for long.
Then let her try, how long can Shido play!
To be honest, if Shido was acting, Mai didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to do this, maybe because he didn't want to reveal the secret of his superpowers?
Even with a girlfriend, Mai feels that the other party didn't need to avoid girls in this way. After all, she was a girl that no one else could see.
So Mai knew that there was no harm in following him, at least it could help her prove whether Shido was the boy who helped her buy strawberry Mochi yesterday...
"It's almost time, let's go!"
Shido took Mukuro and left the Angel Dessert together.
Of course, Shido checked out before leaving. After patronizing several times, he got a membership card. There would be a discount for him next time. He wondered if he should bring Natsumi next time.
At this time, Mai hurriedly followed, thinking about how to expose Shido's acting.
"Itsuka-kun..."
"Shido-kun."
"Shido..."
"Lolicon!"
"Playboy!"
"..."
Mai yelled in different names, and from time to time she poked Shido's shoulders with her finger, but he never paid attention to her.
Mai couldn't help thinking: Am I really thinking too much?
What she didn't know was that her plan was half-successful, that Shido was quite annoyed now!
He was constantly harassed by a girl during his date with his precious Mukuro. Even if she was a beautiful girl, he would still feel very upset.
It's so annoying!
Although knowing that the other party did nothing wrong, after all, the other party may regard yesterday's things as the only hope at the moment, so she kept pestering him.
But from Shido's point of view, Mai just needed to wait for the hero of the original story to help her.
"Baka!"
"Pervert!"
"Hentai!"
Just as Mai wanted to say something else, she suddenly realized...
The surrounding scenery had changed. It was no longer the street just now, but indoors!
She frowned, looked at the familiar ceiling, and said to herself:
"This is... the school?"
Mai walked around in confusion for a while, and she was sure that it was the Raizen High School, and she was in the first-grade classroom.
It's just that, because everyone was out of school, there were not too many people left. There were only three or two students left, but since nobody could see her existence, they didn't know that she suddenly appeared in the classroom.
Is this something other than 'air'?
Mai pondered for a while. After all, she would be invisible', and teleportation didn't feel unacceptable.
But why did she teleport so suddenly?
If her sudden 'teleportation' was good for anyone, Mai immediately thought of Shido. After all, she returned to school and couldn't interrupt his date anymore.
That's right, Mai still doubted Shido. Normally, she would not doubt a person so firmly.
But because at noon, she chatted with a certain girl for a while. Although she didn't fully understand what the other person was saying, the conclusion was that Shido was indeed not "normal".
In order to find clues, Mai recalled what happened at noon...
"Mai, I know there is a place that can help you, come with me!"
Hiratsuka, who was wearing a white lab coat, turned around quietly and beautifully, left the faculty room with Mai.
Mai nodded gently. Not many people in the school knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka was actually her cousin, so the relationship was much closer than normal teachers and students.
She also knew that Hiratsuka was a very good person and would not do anything unfavorable to her, so she followed with peace of mind.
After a while, the two of them came to an empty classroom, and saw Hiratsuka break in without knocking,
Mai looked inside curiously, and saw a girl with long black hair sitting quietly in the middle of the classroom reading a book. The girl was very cute and had a cold temperament on her body, which was very special.
"Sensei, how many times have I told you, please knock on the door before you come in!"
The girl frowned and looked at Hiratsuka, seemingly unhappy.
"Sorry! But you won't really respond even if I knock..."
Hiratsuka scratched her hair embarrassedly, but she obviously had no regrets.
"That's because you broke in every time without waiting for me to answer!"
The girl sighed, but knew that it would be useless to say more, so she looked at Mai curiously.
She knew all the teachers and students in the school, and naturally also knew Mai, the former child star, but she didn't quite understand why Hiratsuka brought her here.
"Yukino, Mai needs you to fulfill her wish, so consider her your first guest here..."
Hiratsuka chuckled lightly and said the purpose of the trip.
"Sensei, this is the Service Club, not Aladdin's Lamp!"
"Almost! Alright, I will leave Mai to you!"
Hiratsuka waved her hand casually, leaving behind the two girls who did not know each other, looking at each other a little embarrassingly...
PS: Thank you for your support!
