"I kept you waiting."
I had a few words with the people before coming, but I didn't expect that the time would be delayed all of a sudden.
"Ash-sensei!" She didn't expect that the other party would actually let her wait alone at the intersection of the appointment for a long time. The girl couldn't help but get angry because of her awkward mood. "Really, I don't follow time..."
Just as she was complaining, the girl's voice suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
If you want to ask why, it's probably because the girl couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the current Ash.
It is different from the "dominance" when he was the king, and it is also different from the "go with the flow" when he was a school worker.
I don't know who came up with the idea. Ash came for a date this time wearing a dark gray suit. The well-tailored suit fit the contours of Ash's body, making him look slender and neat, which further highlighted his confident temperament. Even though the tie that doesn't suit Ash's liking looks a little crooked, it's this informal demeanor that makes Haruka unable to take his eyes away for a thousand years.
It's almost like...
Haruka's vocabulary is too short to describe it, but if you really have to describe it, he looks like the kind of character who appears on TV and in TV dramas now!
"Could it be that you were seduced and fascinated by my handsomeness?"
"..." The girl, whose cheeks were slightly red, moved her eyes away in embarrassment.
"Hey, I just said it casually, is it true?"
Ash Just when he was about to pursue the victory against Haruka, he stopped at the critical moment and took a step back, then quietly moved to the girl's side.
Alas, this has just begun, so there is no need to rush.
After all, it's still a long day as far as dates go.
"Today's Haruka-chan is as cute as ever."
"Thank you, thank you." Looking at the palm that Ash took the initiative to find in front of her, the girl couldn't help being stunned.
This, this is?
"Hey, do you want to hold hands?"
Isn't it very embarrassing to hold hands with so many people outside now?
"Of course we are holding hands, holding hands. Today is a date, how can we not hold hands!"
After all, the book also says that being willing to hold hands symbolizes further proof of your relationship with the other person.
"Or is it really not possible?"
"...!"
Perhaps it was Ash's provocation that worked, and Yao Hua, who was so angry, took the initiative to grab the man's hand.
"If it's just holding hands, I can do that!"
"Awesome, so great, so great." Looking at the current Haruka, Ash couldn't help but touch the top of her head with his other hand, and then the hand was immediately slapped off.
"Why does Ash always like to touch our heads? It's so rude when there is no such thing!"
That girl likes to have her head touched by other people than her elders, and I want to become Princess from now on. I will no longer be a child!
"Well~ you just don't know this. My head pat is a real compliment from the Black Night Kingdom! Besides, they also say it's very comfortable and they like to be petted by me."
"Even if you are like this~" His cheeks couldn't help but soften, feeling the inexplicably comfortable technique. At the same time, Haruno Haruka, who was holding hands, couldn't help showing a cat-like expression. "I'm also a human, not an elf~ Ah, it's a bit comfortable here!"
However, it does seem quite comfortable, right?
Chapter 28 The intention is bad, let her carry it out
date.
Dating...
Although I have decided to use Ash to date myself, I will try to change my twisted nature by making him feel the ordinary beauty. But after putting on makeup so hard and thinking that she was ready, Miss Haruno Haruka discovered that she had overlooked a very important issue.
That is... she doesn't know what to do on a date.
It would be better to say that including the current hand-holding, it was only done under the initiative of the other party, and being held by a man other than my father... This completely different temperature and mood made me almost unable to think!
The girl held the man's hand tightly, and the man also held the girl's hand and quietly asked her to come closer to him.
"Are you nervous, ah~ I understand." It was obviously a very troubled tone, but the smile on someone's face did not diminish at all. "After all, there's nothing you can do about being nervous about dating a handsome guy like me. Are you worried that the green leaves that decorate the flowers are not qualified enough? It's okay, just let me give you the qualifications!"
"Although I don't really want to say this... Ash-sensei, if you let your excessive pride show out like this, it might make Kirara and the others hate you more and more."
"Really? Then they have to accept it quickly."
That's not what I want to say... Compared to Ash who is now happy with Mugen, Haruka is sighing completely helplessly.
"How can you not be nervous..."
Obviously it's still just shopping, but now when she talks with Ash, she has the illusion that everyone on the street is looking at her, which she can't bear!
"Actually, you don't have to think it's that complicated, it's okay, because I don't know either!"
"Huh?"
Fortunately, there is a detailed tutorial on this in the book!
"Besides, what are you worried about? The person you are dating now is the famous King of the Night!"
"What are you doing..." At this time, he acted so handsome and reliable like me.
"As long as I'm here, where else can't you go? You just need to be responsible for being happy and accumulate more favor for me!"
"Wait, wait!" The girl who was pulled to her feet almost stumbled into Ash's arms. "I don't have any goodwill to say it, but I will go - please slow down, I won't be able to keep up!"
So passers-by who paid a little attention saw a very surprising picture.
A man wearing a straight suit and even hair wax holds hands with a girl in a pink skirt, walking around in various street shops. Judging from their ages, the image of the older brother taking his little girl after school to go shopping and play together on the day off naturally appears.
"Let me think about it, first go to the amusement park and the aquarium... ah, the aquarium has been crossed out, and then have dinner at a high-end restaurant, then go to the concert hall to increase the relationship! Finally, go to the hotel to book a superior room and cover the bed with flower petals -"
However, this originally heartwarming scene still gave passers-by a strange feeling.
"That! Apart from anything else, please be sure not to do the last one!"
The character who is responsible for having fun everywhere and looks around and can't bear the excitement, and the former who is almost pulled by the energetic and helpless character to follow behind, so that the eldest brother and his sister go out to have the same scene.
"Then the first stop is the amusement park!"
The role relationship seems to be reversed?
"I know this, it seems to be a place called a roller coaster that humans use to experience excitement!"
After arriving at the amusement park together half-heartedly, Ash, who didn't care about other places to play, headed straight to the center with a clear goal. When she saw the winding track above her head, the girl suddenly started to sweat. "I also like the amusement park, but can we start in a more homely place?"
Being tied up in a car and tossed around, this sounds like criminal law, it feels so scary!
"Wait a minute." The girl who was pulled in along with Ash still wanted to make a final struggle. "No tickets yet! We haven't bought the tickets yet!"
"Don't worry, my citizens have offered this to me in advance." The man who was fully prepared flashed his "xx Amusement Park One Day VIP Card" to the girl. In the strange look that was completely unexpected by the girl, he took the seat for her and lowered the guardrail directly. "What you mean by "warmth" sounds too boring. This roller coaster is just an appetizer. Next, there will be haunted houses, jumping machines, and high-altitude swings——"
For this date, I asked the citizens who were first placed on Earth to share with me what kind of rides are the most exciting and the most empathetic!
Then use the suspension bridge effect... Okay, genius!
"Ha..."
As Ash specializes in picking out dishes from facilities with a high risk factor, Haruka's face looks more and more like a dish every time he hears one.
This feeling, Kanata, king... my dream may not be able to be realized one day.
"So don't worry, I won't waste too much of your time. Let's go!"
"Ahhhh——"
The girl's screams were soon drowned in the wave of sounds.
First there was the roller coaster, then the jumping machine, haunted house and more exciting facilities. After the whole morning's play time was arranged, it was completed. Ash turned into a look of indifference, while Haruka, whose legs were still trembling, seemed a little excited.
"Actually, it feels quite refreshing!"
After all, it is Pretty Cure that can jump much higher than a jumping machine after transformation. After struggling out from the initial fright, the girl gradually got used to the fright and unexpectedly awakened to an exciting mood. Especially when someone was with her, she screamed faster and more joyfully.
In contrast to Haruka, who seemed to have awakened to something, Ash's face was filled with boredom and unhappiness.
"Everything about an amusement park roller coaster is fake!"
The roller coaster doesn't go around the mountain, the jumping machine doesn't really jump, and there isn't even a real ghost in the haunted house. It's all pretended to be human. How dare you call it a haunted house!
"If that were true, it wouldn't be a ride."
The girl who unexpectedly became happy no longer had the entanglement she had with Ash at the beginning. Now she was the one who was happy for the date.
"Ash was the one who took me with me before." Taking out coins from her pocket, the girl took the initiative to hold Ash's hand and came to the claw machine. "Let me come this time and play some less stressful games with Ash."
If I could get a doll out of it, I would give it as a return gift to Ash, who comes out to play with me.
Chapter 29 The king is careless and eats soft rice
"No!"
This time, Ash took the initiative to raise his hand to stop the girl. "I am the king, so if you want to give a gift, I should be the one giving it to you!"
"You don't have to be so serious about this..."
"Of course, I want you to like me more and strive to become my Queen as soon as possible!"
"I know." It's the same sentence. If you ignore the harassing words that Ash always talks about, Ash, who doesn't bully others, is quite happy to date and be friends with Ash now. "Why are boys so competitive..."
"Ding dong~"
After pushing the coins that someone had left in the coin slot casually, Ash gripped the activated joystick on the side and controlled the clamping claws inside. Seeing his seriousness, Haruka next to him couldn't help but become nervous.
"Will it succeed?"
"Ha~ I can catch flies with my bare hands, what's so hard about playing with a toy?" Seeing the cute bunny doll holding a ball of cream with its ears clipped, a winning smile immediately appeared on Ash's face. "Ha, what did I say-"
As soon as he finished speaking, the claws flicked inexplicably, causing the rabbit to lie down again on the squirrel doll next to it.
"It fell."
Looking at the clamping claws that opened and closed as if gears were lubricated, an inexplicable green aura appeared in Ash's palm. "You dare to deceive the king, how brave! I grant you death by the king's command——"
"Wait! I'm just a claw machine, don't just sentence the machine to death!"
Although it is unlikely, what if this claw machine also has a dream?
The girl who had unknowingly gained a lot of strength recently had a lot of effort to pull away Ash. When she was surprised that he turned away as soon as she let go, she turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him standing in front of the dessert shop.
"Please use the guest's two parfaits! This is a spoon."
"No need." Ash, who did not take the spoon, directly demonstrated the skill of drinking the ice cream and fruit slices in his hands in front of the clerk and Haruka. "Hmm~"
I remember who recommended it to me and said that the parfait on Earth is quite delicious. Although I don't really like the sweet type, but it tastes pretty good when paired with sourness and ice.
"It turns out that even the way to eat it is at the king level."
"Hmph, everything about King is of King level!"
After receiving his share of parfait from Ash, Yao somehow felt as if he had become the same character Ash admired in the manga.
"Suck it~ It's so sweet."
Without thinking too much, when the bright red tongue licked the sweet ice cream, the girl with slightly narrowed eyes felt the wonderful taste on the tip of her tongue.
Originally, I thought that this time it was a date with Ash, and I thought that getting along with him would be full of embarrassment and acrimony. But surprisingly, I really had a lot of fun playing it.
It's just that this time the unhappy person turned into Ash... When I think of this, I always feel a little embarrassed.
She glanced at the man with milk on his lips again, took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to the girl.
"No need." Ash took out a handkerchief embroidered with sunflowers from his pocket and wiped his mouth carelessly. "Of course I brought the flowers for the handkerchief myself."
"It's a very cute pattern. Did your elves give this to you too?"
If you say that, your citizens must respect you very much... Why do you treat them so excessively without any repentance?
