Prologue

Amano Keita:

It was another normal day at the family restaurant we always meet, except it was morning, not afternoon. Normally we attend school like everyone at this period, but today we are here. Why? Of course we are bunking school today. Firstly I was not in a mood to bunk classes but then i thought, "What am I going to do today at school anyway?". Besides our mid term exams just finished. So we don't have any pressure of study too.

At the morning, the family restaurant was relatively quieter than it at the afternoon. The customers we regularly see at the afternoon were, expectedly, not here. Also there were much less number of customers too in the restaurant.

We took our regular seats beside the same window. Birds were chirping. It was a bright sunny day. Again winter is slowly arriving, so it was slightly cold. I saw a newspaper boy returning from work with his cycle. It's 8:40 A.M. already. I saw another boy and a girl walking in school uniform. Looks they were also bunking school. I thought that bunking classes to have fun for one day and that too with this beautiful weather, was not a bad idea at all,... until I looked at my companion.

It was hard to judge the quietness of the restaurant. Most of times we are the loudest customers of the restaurant and almost every day we have to apologise to the waiters for the disturbance we cause, and yet, we are the ones who were dead quiet today. Aguri-san hadn't talked a single word since she came. And she is the one who called this meeting today. Sometimes I really get pissed on her. But the birds were chirping so sweetly that I didn't want to be bothered. But Aguri-san didn't take care of the beautiful nature and just kept resting her forehead on the table.

So silent...

I want to start the conversation. It's so awkward here... so awkward. But how could I? You may have a question that why exactly we are holding this meeting on this time. Well... it's an awkward story. It happened the day when we both were gone for a double date. Yes... that CURSED DOUBLE DATE which DESTROYED MY DELIGHTFUL LIFE. I seriously don't

think Tendou-san even wants to see me now at all and it's all because of that hell of a double date.

To tell the whole story, we have to go a few days back on Sunday, to that damned Double Date.

It was not a problem at first look. But after it was decided that we were going to the kingdom Dungeon the matter became an absolute mess. First of all Chiaki and Konoha-san arrived there from out of the blue. We did take them with us and that was our first mistake. Kingdom Dungeon is a place where two lovers are provided soundproof headphones and their eyes are closed so they can take a round of the place without seeing or hearing anything but only feeling each other's touch. Such a romantic situation so what could have possibly gone wrong? Well... everything has gone wrong.

"Say Amanocchi...", Aguri-san suddenly started the conversation to break my thoughts.

"Ah Aguri-san... yeah tell me why you called me."

"Why? You don't know? It's all your fault!"

"Hey hey why are you so angry, Aguri-san? It's not my fault at anyhow."

"Of course it's all your fault. You tell yourself a very faithful boyfriend of Tendou-san but didn't hesitate a moment before kissing me! Moreover me who has a boyfriend and you stole my first kiss! Just how much disgusting and criminal can you be Amanocchi!"

"W-Wait a moment please! Hey stop! Everyone is hearing.", I somehow stopped her from shouting. There were almost no other customers right now but the workers could hear us.

"What can I do now?"

"For now please don't shout Aguri-san. And besides that, you know it's not my fault. It's the fault of the weird rule of Kingdom Dungeon. It's the fault of our fortune that we ended up being the pairing."

Aguri-san became quiet.

Yes... it's a rule that if more than 2 persons wanted to enter the Kingdom Dungeon, the headphones would be randomly distributed and pairing too would be random! Even though Ueharakun assured us that he knows everything there. But after a series of ridiculous problems created by basically Konoha-san, Tendou-san and I paired up as planned... or so I thought. As I couldn't see anything other than the color of the headphones or hear anything , I couldn't explain who was it. But Uehara-kun told that Tendou-San's headphone would be red so I took her for granted. In the end when our turn was over the lights finally switched on there. However just before that, with the flow of the romantic environment I decided to kiss Tendou-san and she didn't hesitate. It was the moment when I seriously messed up. The lights came and... I heard Tendou-San's voice,

"A-Amano-kun... what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice behind me, I was surprised. But as I opened my eyes... no need to say to whom I was kissing. Meanwhile I saw Tendou-san pairing with Chiaki and Uehara-kun pairing with Konoha-San. All the eight eyes were currently focusing on us. It was a terrible moment created by a flow of misunderstandings and mistakes that we were facing. And Aguri-san... she was almost going to be fainted at this level.

"Amanocchi... it's your fault.", she had only said this much to me before being completely quiet for our return to home.
