"Sorry for the waitting."
I had a few words with the people before coming here, but I didn't expect to delay the time all of a sudden.
"Mr. Ash!" She hadn't expected him to leave her waiting alone at the agreed-upon intersection for quite some time. The awkwardness made her a bit angry. "Really, you're so unpunctual..."
Just as she was complaining, the girl's voice suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
If you ask why, it's probably because the girl couldn't help but be stunned after seeing Ash's current state.
It is different from the "domineering" behavior when he was a king, and it is also different from the "going with the flow" behavior when he was a school worker.
It was unknown who had come up with the idea, but Ash was wearing a dark grey suit for this date. The well-cut suit clung to his physique, making him look slender and sharp, further highlighting his confident demeanor. Even though his tie looked a bit askew, which wasn't quite what Ash liked, it was his casual demeanor that caught Haruka's gaze for a thousand years.
It's almost like...
Haruka's vocabulary is limited so it's hard to describe him, but if I had to describe him, he now looks like a character that would appear on TV!
"Could it be that you are bewitched by my handsomeness?"
"..." The girl, with slightly red cheeks, looked away embarrassedly.
"Hey, I just said that casually, is that true?"
When Yaxiu was about to pursue Yao, he stopped at the critical moment and took a step back, then moved silently to the side of the girl.
Oh, this has just begun, there is no need to rush.
After all, today is a long day as far as dates go.
"Haruka-chan is as cute as ever today."
"Thank you, thank you." Looking at the hand that Ash took the initiative to extend in front of her, the girl couldn't help but be stunned.
What, what is this?
"Hey, do you want to hold hands?"
If we were to hold hands in front of so many people outside, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing?
"Of course we're holding hands. We're on a date today, how can we not hold hands?"
After all, the book also says that willingness to hold hands symbolizes further proof of your relationship with the other person.
"Or is it really not possible?"
"...!"
Perhaps Ash's provocation worked, and the angry Haruka actually took the initiative to grab the man's hand.
"If it's just holding hands, I can do that!"
"Great, so great, so great." Looking at Haruka now, Ash couldn't help but touch her head with his other hand, and then his hand was immediately slapped down.
"Why does Ash always like to touch our heads? It's so rude when there's no such thing!"
That girl likes to be touched on the head by people other than elders, and I want to be a princess from now on. I’m not a child anymore!
"Hmm~ You just don't know this. My head patting is a well-deserved compliment in the Kingdom of Night! Besides, they also say it's very comfortable and they really like it when I pat their heads."
"Even if you're like this~" Her cheeks couldn't help but soften, feeling the inexplicably comfortable touch. Haruno Haruka, who was holding her hand, couldn't help but reveal a cat-like expression. "I'm also a human, not an elf~ Ah, this is a little comfortable!"
But it does seem quite comfortable, right?
Chapter 28: The original intention was bad, let her execute it
Dating.
Dating...
Although she had already decided to use Ash's idea of dating her to try to change her twisted nature by making him feel the beauty of ordinary things, after putting on her makeup and thinking she was ready, Miss Haruno realized that she had overlooked a very important issue.
That is...she doesn't know how to go on a date either.
It would be better to say that including the current hand holding was done under the other party's active guidance, and being held by a man other than my father... This completely different temperature and mood makes me almost unable to think!
The girl held the man's hand tightly, and the man also held the girl's hand, and quietly let her move closer to him.
"Nervous? Ah, I get it." Despite sounding vexed, the smile on someone's face remained undimmed. "After all, it's understandable if you're nervous about dating a handsome guy like me. Are you worried you're not worthy enough to be the green leaves that adorn the flowers? Don't worry, let me grant you the qualifications!"
"I hate to say this, but Mr. Ash, if you let your complacency show, Kirara and the others might just hate you even more."
"Really? Then they'd better accept it quickly."
That's not what I meant... Compared to Ash who was extremely happy now, Haruka sighed helplessly.
“How can I not be nervous…”
They were clearly just shopping, but now when she was talking with Ash she had the illusion that everyone on the street was looking at her. How could she bear this?
"Actually, you don't have to think about it so complicatedly, because I don't know either!"
"what?"
Fortunately, there is a detailed tutorial in the book about this matter!
"Besides, what are you worried about? The person you're dating now is the famous Night King!"
"What are you doing..." He acted so cool and reliable to me at this time.
"As long as I'm here, there's no place you can't go. You just need to be happy and accumulate more goodwill towards me!"
"Wait, wait!" The girl, stumbling under the weight of being pulled, nearly stumbled into Ash's arms. "I'm not trying to build up goodwill, but I'm going to go—please slow down, I can't keep up!"
So passers-by who paid a little attention saw a very surprising scene.
A man in a neat suit and even with his hair waxed, and a girl in a pink skirt were holding hands and browsing various street shops. Judging from their ages, the image of an older brother taking his younger sister who had just finished school to go shopping and play together on the day off naturally emerged.
"Let me think, first we'll go to the amusement park and the aquarium... ah, the aquarium is crossed out, then we'll have dinner at a high-end restaurant, and then we'll go to a concert hall to bond! Finally, we'll book a first-class room in a hotel and cover the bed with flower petals—"
However, this originally heartwarming scene still made passers-by feel strange.
"Um! Let's not talk about the other things, but please don't do the last one!"
The character who is in charge of running around and looking around unable to contain his excitement, and the character who is almost dragged along by the energetic former and seems a little helpless, it's like an older brother taking his younger sister out to play.
"Then our first stop is the amusement park!"
The relationship between the roles seems to be reversed?
"I know this. It seems to be a place called a roller coaster where humans experience excitement!"
After reluctantly arriving at the amusement park, Ash, ignoring the other attractions, headed straight for the center. Seeing the winding track overhead, the girl broke into a sweat. "I like the amusement park, too, but can we start somewhere a little more inviting?"
Being tied to a car and swung around sounds like a criminal offense. It feels super scary!
"Wait a minute." The girl, who was dragged in by the crowd along with Ash, tried to make a final struggle. "No, no tickets! We haven't bought tickets yet!"
"Don't worry, my people have prepared this for me." The well-prepared man flashed his "XX Amusement Park One-Day VIP Pass" to the girl. To her, who was completely surprised by the strange look, he sat her down and lowered the guardrail. "You're talking about a warm and cozy ride, but it sounds so boring. This roller coaster is just an appetizer. Next up are the haunted house, the bungee jumping machine, and the high-altitude amusement park—"
For this date, I asked the citizens who were stationed on Earth to give me some basic knowledge about what kind of amusement facilities are the most exciting and can arouse the most empathy!
Then use that suspension bridge effect... OK, genius!
"ha..."
As Ash specifically named the facilities with high risk factors, Haruka's face became more and more gloomy with each name she heard.
This feeling, Bianfang, King...My dream may not last long until the day it comes true.
"So don't worry, I won't waste too much of your time. Let's go!"
"Ahhh-"
The girl's screams were soon drowned out by the waves of other sounds.
First came the roller coaster, then the bungee jumping machine, the haunted house, and many more thrilling facilities. After the entire morning's entertainment time was fully arranged, Ash's face turned into a cold expression, while Haruka, whose legs were still shaking, seemed to be a little excited.
“Actually, it feels pretty refreshing!”
After all, she is a Pretty Cure who can jump much higher than a bungee jumping machine after transformation. After struggling out of the initial fear, the girl who gradually got used to the shock unexpectedly awakened the excitement, especially when there was someone accompanying her, she screamed faster and more happily.
In contrast to Haruka who seemed to have awakened something, Ash's face was filled with boredom and unhappiness.
"What about the roller coaster at the amusement park? Isn't this all fake?"
The roller coaster doesn't go around the mountain, the bungee jumping doesn't really jump down, and there's not even a single real ghost in the haunted house, they're all people pretending to be ghosts. How can you have the nerve to call it a haunted house!
"If it were real, it wouldn't be an amusement ride."
The girl who was unexpectedly happy no longer had the entanglement with Ash at the beginning. Now she was the one who was happy about the date.
"Before, Ash was the one who took care of me." Pulling a coin from her pocket, the girl took Ash's hand and led them to the claw machine. "Let me do it this time too. Let's play something less intense with Ash."
If I can get a doll out, I'll give it to Ash as a return gift for accompanying me out to play.
Chapter 29 King is careless and eats gigolo
"No!"
This time, Ash took the initiative and raised his hand to block the girl. "I am the king, and if there is any gift to be given, it should be given to you!"
"There's no need to be so serious about this..."
"Of course, it's to make you like me more and become my queen soon!"
"I understand." The same thing, if you ignore the harassing words that Ash always says, and treat Ash as a non-bully, Haruka is still quite happy to be friends with him now. "Why are boys so competitive..."
"Ding dong~"
After casually pushing a coin that someone had dropped into the coin slot, Ash gripped the joystick at the side and controlled the gripper inside. Seeing his serious look, Haruka beside him couldn't help but get nervous.
"Will it succeed?"
"Ha~ I can even catch a fly with my bare hands, so how hard can it be to play with a toy?" Seeing the cute bunny doll holding a cream ball with its ears pinched, a triumphant smile immediately appeared on Ash's face. "Ha, what did I say--"
Just as he finished speaking, the claws swung inexplicably, causing the rabbit to lie back on the squirrel doll next to it.
"It fell down."
Looking at the jaws that opened and closed like gears greased with oil, an inexplicable green aura appeared in Ash's palm. "How dare you deceive the king! You are so brave! By the king's order, you shall be killed—"
"Wait! It's just a claw machine. Don't sentence the machine to death so easily!"
Although it is unlikely, what if this claw machine also has a dream?
The girl, whose strength had unknowingly increased a lot recently, took great effort to pull Ash away. When she was surprised that he disappeared as soon as she let go, she turned around and saw him standing in front of the dessert shop, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two parfaits for the guests, please! Here's a spoon."
"No need." Ash, who didn't take the spoon, demonstrated his skill of drinking the ice cream and fruit slices in his hand in front of the clerk and Haruka. "Hmm~"
I remember someone recommended the Earth Parfait to me and said it was delicious. Although I am not a big fan of sweet food, it tasted pretty good when paired with sourness and ice.
"It turns out even the way he eats it is king-level."
"Humph, everything about King is King-level!"
After receiving her parfait from Ash, Haruka inexplicably felt as if she had become a character like Ash's supporting actor in a manzai.
"Slurp~ So sweet."
Without thinking too much, when her bright red tongue licked the sweet ice cream, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly and felt the wonderful taste on the tip of her tongue.
Originally, I thought this was a date with Ash, and I thought our interactions would be awkward and tense. But surprisingly, I actually had a lot of fun.
But this time, the one who was unhappy was Ash... Whenever I thought about this, I always felt a little embarrassed.
She glanced at the man with milk on his lips again, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him.
"No thanks." Ash took out a handkerchief embroidered with sunflowers from his inner pocket and wiped his mouth carelessly. "Of course I brought the flowers on the handkerchief myself."
"What a cute pattern! Was this also given to you by your elves?"
If that's the case, your people must love you very much... Why do you treat them so harshly and show no remorse?
