So A little while later, after Shido and Burchard seemingly convinced the twins to give them some time off, Burchard lies on his bed bored and looks up at the ceiling while saying, "it's to early to go to bed but the hotel being packed solid makes it hard to do anything here."

-

He sighs disheartedly while continuing, "and the storm closed down most things around here."

-

He rolls onto his stomach and looks out the window at the surprisingly lit tourist town located close to the hotel while thinking, "though after the day I had. Maybe some time off will be nice."

-

There's a knock on The door. Confused as to who it could be since he barely knew anyone here and had the 'do not disturb' sign out, he decides to approach cautiously then asks through the door, "who is it?"

-

"Identification: it is Yuzuru."

-

He was surprised to hear she was there especially since he never gave her his room number but decided not to dwell to much on this fact with the bizarre day he just had for reference. He opens the door while asking, "yuzuru? What are you… doing….."

-

For some strange reason he forgets how to speak and goes wide eyed when he opens the door to see Yuzuru standing there alone…. And only wearing a towel.

-

His face slowly turns a bright red as he continues to struggle to find what to say when she asks, "inquiry: May Yuzuru come in?"

-

He continues to stare at her for another second before coming to a sudden realization of how bad it would look if people see a basically naked girl outside his door so he frantically waves her in while saying, "yea! Quickly!"

-

She casually walks into the room while Burchard almost slams the door behind her. Seeing this cause her to look at him with a raised eyebrow while asking, "intrigue: Yuzuru was not expecting you to want to get her alone so quickly?"

-

He shakes his head while replying, "it's more like I didn't wanna cause what would most likely be a very big miss understanding."

-

He look her up and down again then asks, "so why did you come here wearing only a towel?"

-

She looks back at him blankly while replying, "answer: Yuzuru and Kaguya went to the bath to continue our competition however we only found Shido. When asked he told Yuzuru you went to your room and this led her here."

-

He scratches his head while thinking about her response then simply shrugs but before he can say anything she firmly grabs his hand and starts pulling him towards the door. Caught off guard by the assertiveness he asks, "uh what are you doing?"

-

Without looking back and still pulling him she replies, "answer: we are going to the bath."

-

Now confused he asks, "uh? Why are we going there?"

-

She replies, "answer: Yuzuru will be using her womanly charms to make you fall for her unlike my sister who has most likely scared Shido off by now. Therefore we shall have the bath to ourselves."

-

With her response not exactly being satisfactory for a few reasons he stops which causes her to do the same then looks back at him with a raised eyebrow while asking, "question: why are you stopping?"

-

He replies, "well I wasn't planning on going to the bath."

-

She continues to look at him with a raised eyebrow while saying, "confusion: why would you not want to be in the bath with Yuzuru?"

-

An idea comes to mind as she tugs on her towel while asking, "question: you want to do it here?"

-

In response he frantically puts his free hand up while saying, "hang on! That's not what I meant!"

-

She lets go of her towel while saying, "confusion: you are acting strange. Is Yuzuru in fact not to your liking hence losing the competition?"

-

He shakes his head in response then replies, "that's not what I meant either."

-

Still confused by his actions but not letting go of his hand she asks, "inquiry: then what do you wish for Yuzuru to do for you?"

-

A thought comes to mind then he replies, "wanna check out the town?"

-

She look at him with a raised eyebrow then says, "inquiry: are you asking Yuzuru on a date?"

-

Realizing what he just said he decides to double down saying, "I guess you could say that."

-

She looks at him blankly for a few moments while only blinking causing a feeling of unease to come over him which intern causes him to think to himself, "don't tell me that's somehow crossing a line?"

-

After a few more moments of thinking she turns around and starts pulling him away again while saying, "confirmation: very well. We shall go on a date to the town."

-

He stops again while saying, "hang on."

-

she looks back at him while asking, "inquiry: why are you stopping again?"

-

He points at her towel while replying, "you should probably put some clothes on before we leave?"

-

Hearing this causes her to let go of his head and looks down at her towel while saying, "point: it might cause unnecessary commotion."

-

Hearing this causes him to think to himself with a confused look, "and walking through the hotel like that didn't?"

-

His thought gets interrupted by the sight of her towel starting to glow a bright white causing him to look away in discomfort. When the light dies down he look back and is surprised to see her now wearing a casual skirt and tee shirt along with flats and small purse slung over her shoulder. He finds himself staring at her for a moment which confuses her enough to ask with her head tilted to the side, "inquiry: why are you staring at Yuzuru?"

-

Hearing this snaps him back to reality then smiles while replying, "sorry. You just look really cute."

-

With her head still tilted to the side she blinks a few times then asks, "confirmation: so Yuzuru's womanly charms are having an effect."

-

He chuckles a bit then says while still smiling, "you could say that."

-

She takes his hand then looks back at the door and starts pulling him again while saying, "shall we?"

-

Caught of by the missing point he decides it isn't important enough to ask about and instead replies, "yeah. Let's go."

-

While walking down the hall he notices something odd, he feels the grip on the hand she's holding loosen and become almost soft. He looks at the back of her head with a raised eyebrow while trying to think of the reason for the sudden change. Meanwhile Yuzuru purposely continues to stay in front of him to hide the light flushness that's covers her cheeks while she thinks to herself, "confusion: why? Why did him calling Yuzuru cute cause this warm feeling in my chest. Is it because…."

-

She shakes that thought out of her head then continues, "no. Yuzuru cannot think about that. Thoughts like these will only make the task at hand harder."

-

Her focus wavers however as she notices the feeling of his hand holding hers, distracted she says quietly to herself, "this feels…. Nice."

-

Not hearing what she said Burchard asks, "what did you say?"

-

Realizing she slipped up she steels herself once more but still doesn't look back while responding, "rebuttal: it was nothing important."

-

He looks at her with a raised eyebrow but decides it isn't important enough to press further while saying, "if you say so."

-

She then stops in her tracks causing him to do the same and looks at her with confusion as she turns and looks back at him while saying, "declaration: you will be falling for Yuzuru tonight."

-

Even more confused he says, "didn't you already tell me that this afternoon?"

She stares blankly while only blinking until finally clinging to his arm and pressing her chest against him while saying, "rebuttal: Yuzuru wanted to be clear."

-

He responds, "uh? Okay?"

-

He's surprised by the new sensation against his arm but instead of getting embarrassed he decides to smile at her warmly while saying, "guess I'll have to prepare myself."

-

She stares blankly back at him but as his smile causes her cheeks to turn red she looks away and practically drags him down the hallway while saying, "rebuttal: you better be."
