Sure enough, shoulder to shoulder, like this; Hand in hand......

It's really nice to experience a date that is almost a luxury for the two people in front of you, just like a normal couple!

Rather, that alone was enough to make Lemuel excited.

"How does it feel? Appointment? ”

"I'm super happy now!"

A guy blurted out with a smirk on his face, which instantly amused Rila.

"You're exaggerating, aren't you? It's just dating. ”

"If that's all it can do to make you feel satisfied...... To be honest, I'm just happy. ”

There is no doubt that this is true. It's just that......

After speaking, her face was also a little crimson. I wonder if I'm thinking the same thing?

But one thing is certain, and that is that the two of them are really enjoying this fleeting moment at this moment......

And I can't help but want to cherish it as an important memory.

After all, I don't know when I will have such an opportunity next time.

So, you have to cherish it and then enjoy it...... Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss?

And it is precisely because both of them are well aware of this that they did not let this emotion flow easily.

- I don't want the other person to notice this.

"I mean, it's almost time to tell me where I'm going today, right? You didn't tell you anything yesterday, and it turned out that I care so much now! ”

After hearing his words, Lila couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't say that that's what the so-called surprise is all about, understand?"

As soon as her words fell, Lemuel really made no secret of his frustration and disappointment that his expectations had once again been disappointed.

"Huh? Can't say it yet? Obviously you're already on your way to dating? ”

"Hey, don't write your disappointment on your face so openly! Doesn't that mean I'm bullying you? ”

As she spoke, Leela deliberately moved closer.

"Isn't it?"

But the guy asked rhetorically as if he was serious, and he couldn't hide his dissatisfaction.

It's like a child.

"By the way, you don't have anything to say about my dress today?"

It wasn't until she brought up the topic that Lemuel suddenly noticed this—

The combination of a black and white milk-colored shirt jacket, a miniskirt and brown leather boots will show off your body curves neatly!

"By the way, I'm in a vacuum, huh?"

“......？！”

All of a sudden, this murmur that looked like biting his ear suddenly made his mind go blank!

It's like a bolt from the blue...... I can't think about anything...... At the same time, his face was so red that he couldn't help but wonder if he had a fever-

"Hey, you're almost coming back to your senses, aren't you?"

“......”

“...... Your reaction is really cute, and it's not in vain that I carefully selected it for half an hour, right? Hey. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and rub his hair - "It seems that you have carefully tidied up, not bad!" Worthy of praise, huh? ”

However, it is precisely because of this phrase of Lela......

For a moment, Lemuel remembered Yuna's expression at that time.

So he couldn't help but feel half empty-hearted; Half-guiltily, he turned his face......

"Don't treat me as a child, of course you will pay attention to things of this level!"

"Yes, yes, yes—"

Let's just fool around here, right?

Besides, it's just a normal way to fix your hair, right?

It's nothing, and I didn't do anything bad!

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing?"

Unexpectedly, even if he didn't say a word, the current atmosphere has undergone some subtle changes because of his subtle attitude-

Why? I don't know, but Lela's instincts have always been terrifying......

Thinking like this, Lemuel felt a chill run down his back......

She shouldn't have noticed anything, right?

"Anyway, it's still some distance from the shopping street, right? Two stops? Or is it three stops? ”

"Well, it's still a long way off, if you walk like this—"

With a strange mood, he quickly changed the topic.

However, I don't know why I have the urge to hide it, is the relationship with Leela so fragile?

"If that's the case, it's better to take the bus to save time, right?"

However, for some reason, in the face of this seemingly impeccable suggestion, she refused neatly.

"No, it's better that way, right? How so? More of a 'dating' feeling? ”

After learning of this reason and answer, Lemuel stopped insisting.

However, none of them noticed Yuna, who was sneaky and stealthy behind her......

Perhaps, I noticed it a long time ago, but I just didn't say it?

Either way, it makes Yuna feel uncomfortable at this moment-

Because, my sister's insight is simply not so bad that she can't even detect this.

She should have found out a long time ago, right?

Maybe it's just out of "Since it's my sister, why bother to say it." "This kind of reason can let yourself go with the present, right?

But it was precisely because of her sister's gentleness that she felt that she was inferior.

"Sure enough, I'm still not as good as her."

This kind of thinking; Such a conclusion is not new.

"Wait? Wait a minute? Eh...... Huh?! Actually, I lost it?! ”

However, at the moment when she couldn't help but be bound by her own thoughts, she was thrown off as a matter of course - is that really the case?

"My sister really noticed it a long time ago......"

As a result, in an instant, the streets and alleys where people came and went, and only one person was left dumbfounded at the crossroads.

"What, what to do?!"

Looking around, she was suddenly anxious like an ant on a hot pot!

I don't have a sense of direction in the first place, how can I go back now!?

In an instant, she remembered that her mobile phone had a navigation function, and immediately flipped it out of her trouser pocket as if she was grasping a life-saving straw!

As a result, after lighting up the screen...... Her expression began to stiffen a little—

"At that time, how did my sister teach? Like, forgot ......"

However, at this juncture, she couldn't remember it anyway.

To sum up, Yuna can only find a café nearby.

And while angry; While honestly calling my sister...... That is, to a certain extent, self-defeating.

"Hmm...... Really! ”

I guess I'll be ridiculed mercilessly in the future, right?

After all, this thing ended up like this, and in the end, it was self-inflicted......

"What? Yuna has been following us? Why......? ”

"Is it necessary to be uneasy to this extent? Or does she think I can't protect you properly? ”

"That's all you can ask her?"

"After all, how could I possibly know what she was thinking? But when it's time to rely on you, I won't hesitate—"

"Please, do you behave better? At least to the point where she can earn her trust, right? Do you understand? ”

"Ah...... I know. But so far, it seems to have been reversed, huh? ”

Instead, he became the object of "protection......

If you think about it, that's really the case.

It was quite surprising to hear him tell the truth.

But that's right, right?

Like- Occasionally want to be handsome in front of your girlfriend or something? There must be such thoughts, right?

"As long as it's a man......"

“...... Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say-"

Sure enough, he still cares about this kind of place......

"Huh? So you care about this kind of thing, huh? But I don't think there's anything to worry about, right? ”

"After all, if you were in the same position, you would do the same thing as me, right?"

"That's ...... Absolutely. After all, I'm ...... better than anyone else."

At this moment, Lela's finger lightly pressed against his lips—

“......”

This is proof that the two have a heart-to-heart relationship, right?

"I know, so let me be willful for now, right?"

"After all, I think the same thing as you - so don't worry about it!"

Then, when the two finally arrive at the shopping street, Leela tells Lemuel why Yuna followed them.

"Huh?? Like to stick to you??? ”

What kind of reason is this-that guy, could it be said that it is the late stage of sister control?

For a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression to show......

- "So the reason why you had to pull me to take a shortcut just now is because of this?" ”

The answer, of course, is not to think about it.

"Besides, I also thought about stopping her directly, but seeing that you are in such a good mood, I can't bear to pour cold water."

"That's why you've figured out how to get rid of her? But is that really good? ”

"What do you mean?"

"You know she's a guy with a terrible sense of direction, right? Leaving her alone on the street like that always feels ......"

It's going to be bad.

Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through his words and aroused dissatisfaction-

"On the way to my date, there are still other women who are thinking about it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm too arrogant, sorry ......!"

"So don't stare at me with this smile hidden in your eyes?! I was wrong, I was wrong! - Pain, pain, pain?! ”

At the moment when Lemuel was scrambling desperately to apologize, his face was grabbed mercilessly-

"Sorry about the pain, the pain! Please be merciful—"

"Sure enough, are you tired of me?"

"Huh? How is that possible......"

"Think it's better to change things up once in a while? What is it about? After all, I'm just an aunt compared to that kid......"

Not listening at all?!

"Really! So what do you want me to do!? ”

"Yuna is indeed your sister, yes, it's true that she is younger than you, but I am not going to joke about this kind of thing!"

"You've always been the only person I like!"

Don't even eat your sister's vinegar!

His words were shouted almost in a hysterical tone, and as a result, they instantly attracted the attention of all passers-by.

“......”

But that's not blame, it's more of envy.

"I see, I see, I see...... Let's just take it as such, right? Also, I was just talking about it. ”

"Huh?!"

Talking about playing ......?

It's despicable!

Suddenly Lemil's whole person seemed to be petrified-

He felt more frustrated than ever before he realized he had been tricked, and there were so many mixed emotions mixed in.

But it only lasted for a moment—

Because after that, Lila gave a kiss like a dragonfly.

"Okay, why don't you go to the bench over there and rest for a while? By the way, how about reminiscing about how you just felt? ”

"What about you?"

"Didn't I say that before? There's a place you want to go! So...... I'm going to go there. ”

"Don't you want me to come with you?"

"I don't need it, besides, I'm not Yuna, so I can't get lost. Rest assured, right? It won't take a lot of time. ”

Since she had said so, Lemuel had no choice but to give up.

He sat on one of the more prominent benches in the shopping street and waited for Rila to return.

At the same time, in order not to get bored, I also took out the light novel I had been reading from my bag.

- To kill time.

"Excuse me, what about my custom-made items?"

At this time, in an inconspicuous but well-known jewelry store, Lila was talking to the clerk about something-

"It's Miss Retilia, isn't it?"

"Yes, what do I want?"

The clerk took the item out of the counter after confirming her identity.

- "It's been packed for you, please make sure." ”

Of course, even if he didn't say that, Leela would have done it on the spot.

"Well, thank you."

This is followed by payment.

By the way, her tone was still cold and restrained......

It's like two people in front of Lemuel.

Of course, this is what she says and does when she gets along with ordinary people, not deliberately.

"Huh? Will you be back so soon? ”

It wasn't until he felt that someone had tapped his shoulder with just the right amount of force that Lemuel looked up—

"What? Do you still hate me coming back too quickly? ”

"Of course not, anyway...... Done? Speaking of which, where have you been? ”

In the face of his questioning, Leela only smiled meaningfully.

And handed him a bright red box—

"Open it up, shall we? It's a gift for you. ”

"Gifts? But isn't my birthday yet? ”

This guy, the sluggish place really makes people have nothing to say-

"You don't care, open it and see ......"

“？”

Then, when Lemuel opened the box, a ring-like ring appeared in the sunlight......

There are no superfluous decorations, but at this moment it looks like a faint ripple pattern.

Of course, the edge part also made a just right arc transition-

This allows it to fit your fingers better.

The front and back are printed with the English letter "L", echoing each other.

"This is the L that starts with your name, and it's also the first letter of my name."

"I thought of it on a whim, so I asked them to engrave it—"

Unexpectedly, I was hugged halfway through the sentence!

And even so, you can clearly feel his joy that is about to overflow.

"I know...... What to do? Now I feel like I'm so happy that I want to scream! ”

"Don't do it, it's on the street! Please exercise some restraint...... Really! ”

Even though she said that, Lemuel kept giggling...... This kind of place of his is really indifferent, and as a result, over time, even he has been infected so that he doesn't care much about other people's eyes.

- "I said how long are you going to hold it?" It's almost time to let go, right? ”

"No, I don't want to let go...... If you can, you want to keep holding it like this! ”

“...... It's really okay to take you. We still have a lot of time, don't we? ”

As she spoke, Lila couldn't help but smile wryly, and pushed the boat down the river to accommodate his willfulness......

Because she knows better than anyone else—

Maybe it's just because I'm looking forward to the same thing, right?

She couldn't help but think of this, and she couldn't help but respond to Lemuel's expectations-

"Five more minutes, then?"

And at the moment when they were reluctant to let go of each other, the movement of the crowd seemed to have a slight abnormality.

Soon, this subtle anomaly grew to the point where it was impossible to ignore!

This had to arouse the alarm of Lela-

"What's wrong?"

“......”

Her expression became serious in that moment, even a little terrifying, and of course made Lemuel realize what might have happened—

However, he didn't want to let the hard-won date go to ruin because of this!

I don't want a date to be forced to abort in this way!!

Give us a little more time......

Why is this happening?

At this moment, his expression seemed as if he was trying his best to endure something......

“...... Did it come back so soon? No way......? ”

Naturally, his thoughts did not escape Lela's eyes either.

It's better to say that she is now naturally aware of how unqualified she is as a girlfriend......

"Sorry, keep dating, right? I'm not going to meddle anymore-"

However, it was obviously a prepared answer, but at the moment when it was about to blurt out, it was overshadowed by the screams and cries for help that suddenly burst out from the crowd!

Sure enough, I can't say ......!

Then, before the two of them were far from recovering from the shock, they witnessed the scene of the house collapsing in the distance!

You can't be wrong, it's a trail of brute force!

And there are also a lot of people trapped in the scattered ruins......

Gradually falling into paradoxical despair! This kind of thing is obviously happening right in front of her, and she really can't turn a blind eye!

"Sorry, this is the end of the date, Lemuel...... I have to go! ”

"That kind of thing, whatever!?"

At this moment, the feelings he had suppressed from beginning to end finally exploded! Even he himself was taken aback......

"Lemuel...... You ......"

Even, the hysterical feelings, in the rare date do not want to be separated from lovers because of this kind of thing, the feelings are so strong that Leela is speechless for a while......

At this moment, she didn't know how to comfort her boyfriend who showed such a painful expression.

"I'm sorry."

Knowing that this might be the last word he wanted to hear, he could only bite his lip until the end...... Let yourself say it.

"Are those, those strangers I don't know more important than me?"

- Of course not, if you can...... I don't want to be separated from you!

However, I don't have the courage to tell him such thoughts. Because isn't that like a perfunctory thing?

"Don't show that expression, you're so cunning!"

At this time, the cries for help from far and near were so strong that the surrounding air couldn't help but detonate!

And the deafening roar that tore at carrion! As a result, in the end, I could only let go of my hand-

No matter how reluctant it is!

“Maste

Now, do you want to merge right away? ”

Lila, who ran to the corner of an office building, responded without delay-

"Let's get started!"

Unexpectedly, the moment the voice fell, the mobile phone fell out of the bag......

And just as she bent down to pick it up, the sound that came from there made her feel as if her heart had been grabbed violently—

"Sister, help me!"

That's right, that's Yuna's voice ......!

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of glass windows shattering one after another, constantly knocking on their own eardrums!

So that her sanity is losing little by little at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!

"Yuna?! Is she in that area too? Feed! Give me enough to stop...... Anyway, this joke is too much!? ”

"Fusion and continuum complete, energy 100%, confirmed!"

"Don't panic, everyone, just get to the evacuation facility - take your time!"

The police stations along the street also spontaneously helped evacuate the people who had completely lost their goal and were about to turn into a crowd of trampling on each other!

And at this moment, I finally caught up!

"Give me less to show off your might!"

Without saying a word, it grabbed the beast that was about to stick its head into the café!

“......！”

In an instant, Yuna's gaze overlapped with it!

She immediately realized that she had been saved by this guy in the nick of time......

But she didn't understand the reason why it was so desperate to save herself......

But even if you don't understand why, you can feel that this guy seems to be here to save himself!

Anyway, this ...... What is it?

“......”

This giant seems to be an existence that is detached from common sense......

Of course, in order not to become a burden and a burden, so that it can fight without scruples-

With this in mind, Yuna left there as fast as she could.

And she didn't know until now that it was her sister who drove the behemoth-like robot.

Of course, it was Lela's decision to hide it from her sister.

"It's good to catch up...... What a surprise! ”

“Maste

Instead of that, focus on the enemy in front of you. ”

"I understand!"

As soon as the words fell, she was counterattacked as if she was annoyed and angry - her arm was gripped tightly and mercilessly!

The biting force that occurred in an instant made it impossible for Lila to even maintain her consciousness!

"Tsk!"

Immediately afterwards, he was knocked to the ground several times by a rather brutal struggle and continuous collision!

Fortunately, after the emergency evacuation just now, this place has become a no-man's land except for the devastated ruins.

In this way, there is no need to worry about implicating the innocent -

"Finally, I can fight freely!"

"Hey, I messed up the account of my hard-won date, I want to get it back from you!"

Immediately after, they fell into an inextricable entanglement!

In an instant, in the fierce and pure mutual fighting, it was as if I heard the sorrow and wailing of the earth!

——With such a stormy scene, I can only give up everything!

And bet everything you have to pray for victory!

The so-called all-or-nothing battle, that's what it's all about!
