Chapter 482

Were I a little nervous just now?

However, Cangyue Yuri didn't think she was lying.

In the end, Cangyue Yuri didn't know why she felt so guilty and lost.

Her slightly narrow eyes then looked up, and she whispered to herself:

"Let's go home first."

It's time to go back to being a dog.

Today, Haihara felt that Cangyue Yuri was acting very strangely.

Although this Magic girl from R'lyeh has her own house, she seems to have gotten used to living in her home as a pet.

Haihara, of course, had no objection to having a Magical Puppy to lift her spirits.

Since its identity was revealed, this Magical Puppy has naturally started to behave like a dog at home, watching TV, sleeping on the sofa, and even scrolling through its phone and making coffee.

Every time she looks like that, Haihara wants to record a video of her.

Unfortunately, the Magical Puppy itself stopped them in the end.

But today, Cangyue Yuri, contrary to her usual behavior, spent a long time with him in human form.

Not only did she cook for herself, but she also acted like a human when we ate dinner and watched TV together in the evening.

To be honest, it was only then that Haihara realized that she still felt quite unfamiliar with Cangyue Yuri's face.

"Um, Haihara?"

Cangyue's voice sounded a little embarrassed.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Well... I'm not a dog now, so if you touch me, it's a little..."

Haihara then realized that she had just been plucking Yuri Cangyue Yuri's hair.

Because they were all snow-white and very soft, Haihara couldn't resist touching them whenever her hands itched.

She regretfully moved her hand away. At that moment, she saw Cangyue Yuri looking at her and asking earnestly:

"Speaking of which, Miss Haihara..."

After that, she stopped and waited for Haihara's response.

"Um."

Haihara indicated that she was listening.

"You seem to be in a bad mood lately. If that's the case, could I invite you out for a drink to cheer you up sometime when you have some free time?"

Compared to her puppy form, Cangyue Yuri Haihara, as a woman, looks much more mature than any of the other Magic girls Haibara knows.

However, being too mature creates a slightly inexplicable sense of distance, which is why Haihara still prefers Magical Puppy a bit more.

Before Haihara could answer, Cangyue Yuri seemed to hesitate for a moment, then shook her head, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said softly:

No... that's not it either.

To be more precise, may I invite you on a date with me? Just for one night.

She asked calmly, carefully, and cautiously.

A look of curiosity was clearly visible on Haihara's face.

What's going on here...?

Chapter Six: A Date with the Drunkard

Human emotions are truly unpredictable, aren't they?

Sometimes even the person themselves may not understand.

Cangyue Yuri knew that Haihara- san seemed to be starting to misunderstand her own feelings lately.

So this feeling might be something they both share.

Last night, Cangyue Yuri asked Haihara out on a date.

Although she acted as if it were a natural thing, it was actually her first time going on a date with someone.

She carefully dressed herself up, following the advice from online encyclopedias and books.

She wore a neutral-toned outfit that suited her style: a beige long trench coat over a navy blue knit top, light makeup, and earrings.

Isn't it a bit too flashy?

Before Haihara arrived, Cangyue Yuri stood on the brightly lit street at night, looking in the mirror and fixing her hair.

I'd guess she could be considered pretty in the mirror?

In Cangyue Yuri's memory, many people had praised her for having a beautiful face.

After a while, her date for the evening finally arrived.

After receiving the text message, she looked up and searched for Haihara's figure in the crowd. She found her quickly, after all, Haihara's figure was hard to ignore.

Haihara Aozuki was well aware that Cangyue Yuri on each date was completely different from her usual self.

It took me a while to get home and change my clothes.

The woman, with her hands in her pockets, quickened her pace and walked towards her. It was winter, and the weather was cold.

However, Cangyue Yuri is not very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures.

"Aren't you cold standing outside for so long?"

Haihara asked a question.

"No, I remember the city I lived in when I was a child was colder than it is now." Cangyue Yuri quickly smiled.

"You mean this place?"

Haihara was asking about the world, not R'lyeh.

Cangyue Yuri recalled that although she was taken away from this world by R'lyeh when she was very young, some memories were still very clear to her.

She then responded to Haihara by saying:

"Well, although I don't remember most of it, I do remember that it was sometimes very lively there. For example, at Christmas, there would be beautiful light bulbs hanging everywhere, and people would receive Christmas presents."

Cangyue Yuri doesn't seem to be the type of girl who gets shy or flustered easily, but after meeting Haihara, she naturally took Haihara to the place they had agreed to go drinking together.

Haihara hadn't gone for a walk like this in a while.

She chatted idly while gazing at the street scene:

"You definitely didn't receive any gifts back then?"

It sounds like Cangyue Yuri was an orphan living in some city on Earth at the time, either in an orphanage or on the streets, and receiving a gift seemed like a luxury.

Cangyue Yuri was stunned.

Then, she shook her head:

"Yes, it's a harmonica, gold-colored, very beautiful."

The harmonica is indeed quite beautiful.

Haihara remembers having a harmonica when she was a child.

I don't know where I lost it later.

However, since it's a date, you can't keep talking about this kind of topic.

Their date was arranged: Cangyue Yuri Haihara to drinks.

Haihara, of course, wasn't going to hold back and prepare to have a good drink at her favorite bar.

Actually, you can't really drink to your heart's content.

But at least you have to drink a lot.

Ever since she turned back into a child, Haihara has wanted to find an opportunity to drink and smoke, but considering that her recent need for kissing might be very high, she hasn't done so for the time being.

They soon arrived at the bar on the upper floor.

This bar is usually very quiet, which is why Haihara likes it so much.

After sitting down in an empty seat, Haihara picked up the menu, stroked her chin, and pondered for a moment:

"This, this, and this too, for snacks to go with drinks, we'll have fried shrimp and chicken skewers..."

Haihara doesn't hold back when she's treated to a meal.

After Haihara, it was Cangyue Yuri. She took the menu, looked at the names of the drinks, and her expression was slightly puzzled:

"Moscow mules, tequila sunrise... what are these?"

She felt that these names all seemed quite profound.

Just looking at the menu and the pictures, I thought they were all colorful and pretty.

It's not quite the same as what I had at the tavern in R'lyeh.

Haven't you thought of anything yet?

Haihara asked.

"It's all ordered."

Cangyue Yuri casually picked out a sea-blue wine and handed over the menu. She wasn't particularly interested in wine, so she didn't care what kind of wine she drank.

The wait for the wine won't be long.

When the drink Cangyue Yuri served, she had almost forgotten what it was called.

Upon seeing the beautiful glass and the vibrant wine inside under the light, Cangyue Yuri first picked up the glass and sniffed it curiously.

"..."

It has a slightly sour and slightly astringent taste, mixed with some indescribable aroma, but that's all.

She took a sip and found it sour. She then took a small sip and found it to be cold and astringent, not nearly as delicious as it looked.

Sure enough, Earth's wine didn't immediately taste particularly good to her.

Cangyue Yuri glanced up and saw Haihara- san drinking her wine with an elegant demeanor.

That's exactly what Haihara was looking at:

"You actually drink very little?"

"Hmm, I don't drink much."

Cangyue Yuri readily admitted it.

Haihara this isn't the first time Haibara has been invited out for drinks by a girl who doesn't drink. Whenever this happens, she just continues drinking her own beverage.

This piqued Cangyue Yuri's curiosity.

"Was the drink Haihara ordered very good?"

After listening, Haihara gently swirled her glass with both hands, watching the liquid inside roll over the ice and lime.

"Very few wines can be described as particularly delicious. To be honest, when you first taste them, they are all sour and astringent, and you can't really taste any particular difference."

"... Yeah?"

Cangyue Yuri found it quite profound.

Although she doesn't drink much, Cangyue Yuri isn't the type to get drunk easily, otherwise she wouldn't have invited Haihara- san to drink with her on their date.

She slowly drank the rest of the wine.

The wine slid smoothly over my tongue and throat, cool, sour, and indescribably rich.

Even on her thin neck, you could see the rise and fall of her throat as she swallowed.

Cangyue Yuri remembered someone saying that she was someone who didn't care about anything and had no needs.

So whether it tastes good or bad doesn't make much difference to her.
