Chapter 4: "Its beautiful nyo..."
The animal-eared couple stood around for a while in an awkward moment of silence before Dejiko spoke up.
"So... what're we gonna do then nyo?" Asked Dejiko who had no experience with dating.
"Well... I guess... most people usually go to the movies on their first date..." Ky replied.
"But I don't have any money nyo"
"Me neither"
Again they stood around in the park, it was around sunset and the street lights were just coming on.
"Oh!" Ky thought aloud, "I know where we could go!"
"Really nyo? Where?" Dejiko asked excitedly.
"Well... its a secret, I'll need to blindfold you."
Upon hearing this, Dejiko became suspicous but decided to play along, figuring she could escape any trap set by the Black Gema Gema Gang.
"Blindfold nyo...?"
"Well... it IS a secret... so..." Ky continued.
"I guess so then nyo," was her reply.
With that Ky pulled a red handkerchief out of one of his labcoat pockets and began tying it around Dejiko's eyes.
"Is that too tight?" he asked kindly.
"Its fine nyo"
"Good," Ky said before holding on to Dejiko's hand and leading her to their destination.
Dejiko fumbled along on the way to Ky's "spot" but managed to somehow keep up with the dentist. As their journey started an uphill climb, Dejiko began to stumble more, however a concerned Ky helped Dejiko along.
"We're here," said Ky to a half-tired Dejiko.
"I know its not much but..." said Ky as he removed the handkerchief from Dejiko's eyes to reveal a hill that looked over the bright lights of the city at night. Dejiko stared on in awe at the beautiful lights that littered the landscape of the city.
"Its not much... but..." Ky started, but before he could say anything else, Dejiko wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his lab coat.
"P-Princess Di Gi Charat..." a shocked Ky said to the small princess.
"Dejiko, j-just call me Dejiko nyo…" she mumbled into his labcoat.
"A-Alright, Dejiko…"
"I-Its beautiful nyo."
"Well, I'm glad you like it..." he replied as he blanketed her with his arms.
They sat down on the grassy hill and stared at the city lights, Dejiko pointed out Akihabara, Gamers, and places she had been sent to on errands. Ky listened to the excited princess and they began a conversation about their lives and their current situations.
"I'm having a good time...but..." Ky finally said.
"But what nyo," Dejiko asked, hoping that the night wouldn't be ruined.
"I was concerned about the rest of the Black Gema Gema Gang finding out about all this..."
Upon hearing this, Dejiko finally realized that this was not some scheme for the Black Gema Gema Gang to capture Dejiko, but Ky was truly sincere about bringing her here and about talking to her. Dejiko felt a little bad about suspecting him, but brushed that thought off and out of her thoughts.
"Well nyo. They don't have to know..." Dejiko said in a sly manner.
"Yeah... I guess you're right." Ky replied. And with that Ky stood up and looked out to the city.
"We'd better be going soon before someone suspects something."
"Yeah nyo..." said a half-disappointed Dejiko.
Ky picked up the tired princess and lifted her onto his back and they began their descent down the hill and back home. Dejiko sighed as she realized that this night was coming to an end. A day which she had wondered about what love was, and a night where she thought she may have found it.
Upon reaching Gamers, Ky and Dejiko stared at each other in awkward silence before Ky spoke up.
"I'd better get home too... Piyoko might be worried."
"O-Okay nyo"
"I-I just wish I had something to give you..." and at that moment he remembered the chocolate he had spent his savings on. He pulled the small box out of his pocket and presented it to Dejiko, "Happy White Day." he said with a smile.
"Th-thank you nyo." Dejiko replied with a blush as she accepted the box of chocolates and held it close to her.
Before Ky left, the two, a strange looking couple, embraced one another for what could have been the last time, and Ky finally left on his way down the dark streets to his little shack.
"Good-bye nyo..."
