Disclaimer: I'm seriously sorry that this update was delayed. I had a lot of projects and tests to do lately... yeah, it's going to be difficult to continue this every week. For this, I apologize. However, do not worry. I don't plan to abandon this project. Ahem. All credit goes to Shingo Nanami and フクロウ.

A Fine Day For A Rendezvous

Part Two

Gorouza x Kasane

"Mu."

"Huh~? Where are you two goin'~?"

"Ah. Inuchiyo-san, Kuranosuke-san."

Just as Gorouza and Kasane approached the main gate, they caught the sight of Inuchiyo and Kuranosuke, who seemed to be in the middle of work.

"Actually-…"

"The two of us are planning to go out on a friendly outing to town."

Before Kasane could explain, Gorouza interrupted and placed himself in front of her. With a very fine smile, he stressed the 'two of us' and 'friendly' to Kuranosuke and Inuchiyo.

Both of them knitted their brows.

"Why only Gorouza and Katane! What about us!?"

"...What the hell is going on, Gorouza."

As if he was trying to obstruct their way, he cross-examined Gorouza.

While Kasane was nervously looking back and forth between the two men, Gorouza kept on a refreshing face.

"...Even if you ask, it's just as you see, a rendezvous. I was finally able to gain a day off from our lord. It would be thoughtless of you two to get in my way, so please don't be a hinderance.

"Rendezvous!?"

Inuchiyo and Kuranosuke bristled with anger.

Meanwhile Kasane was left pondering, "...What's a rendezvous?"

"Oi Gorouza, come here for a bit!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Eh! Ah, eh!? Go-gorouza-san!?"

"I'll be fine, Kasane-dono. No need to worry."

Grabbing his shoulders, the two boys dragged him to a different place, leaving a clueless Kasane all to herself.

"...Oi! What's the meaning of this, Gorouza!"

"...Uu~. Gorouza's not fair…"

Making sure that Kasane couldn't hear their conversation, Kuranosuke and Inuchiyo released their full irritation onto their companion.

"You planned this for a long time, didn't you? You shouldn't get a head start!"

"That's right, that's right! Didn't we all decide not to monopolize Katane!?"

Even as the two continued to loudly complain, Gorouza's expression remained serene.

"...Well then, let me ask you, Kuranosuke. Just a while ago when you became dead drunk Kasane-dono slept next to you that entire night, am I correct?"

At his remark, Kuranosuke's shoulders shrugged.

"...And Inuchiyo. If my memory serves me right, when you caught a cold, didn't Kasane-dono take care of you all day?"

This time it was Inuchiyo's turn to jump and avert his gaze.

"...You two made pretty good memories when I wasn't there, didn't you?"

By now the two of them were too afraid to look at his form.

Underneath that gentle smile is a force they shouldn't reckon with.

"Therefore, you two have no right to blame me, right?"

"..."

The two of them had nothing else to say.

An unpleasant silence reigned the area.

"With this, I shall take my leave. I shouldn't keep Kasane-dono waiting… Good day."

he said with an e~xtra bright smile. With it came a faint dark aura that wouldn't accept any objections.

"Forgive me, Kasane-dono! I'm sorry for making you wait…"

Now away from Kuranosuke and Inuchiyo, he hurried over to Kasane, his attitude from before changed as he sincerely apologized to her.

"N-no! I'm fine! More importantly, what happened with Kuranosuke-san and Inuchiyo-san...? If something's wrong then we should probably..."

"Of course not! It's not nothing that serious!"

"Eh."

As his voice unconsciously grew louder, Kasane jumped back in surprise.

"Ah, I-I'm sorry for getting too excited….! Those two didn't have any business with us so everything is fine."

He frantically formed a gentle smile as he apologized and lead her outside.

Though Kasane didn't seemed to be convinced by his explanation, she followed after him.
