It was morning when I was planning to leave the house and visit the Adventurer Guild, I was in the entrance, tying my shoes when Yunyun approached me from behind and she asked, "Are you going somewhere, Haru-kun?"
I stood up while tapping the tip of my shoe on the floor to make my foot feel comfortable then I responded to her, "I'm going to Adventurer Guild and give some small gift to our friends and acquaintances."
"Friends? Can I come with you?" she became interested when she heard the word 'friends'.
"Sure. Tell Belfast or little Bel that we'll be back before lunch."
"Okay!" she quickly went to remind them.
Shizu-nee and Lolisa actually went to Date A Live World to get some furnitures or anything useful for our home.
Walking together to the Adventurers Guild, we met up with Luna-san first and she was shock to see me wearing blindfold.
"Haru-san? Why are you wearing blindfold?" I'm facing the same question again and I don't want to tell them so I made up some random reasons
"Because it looks cool. Do I look awesome now?"
Even through my blindfold, I can see her awkwardly expression in infrared vision as she responded while I unconsciously look at her huge chest for a moment due to my manly instinct.
"I don't really understand but okay..."
Her cheek was twitching while trying to give me a public service smile.
I opened my spatial storage from pocket to hide my skill then I took out a white pouch tied in a red ribbon which contained sweets I bought from confectionery shop.
"Huh?"
"Just small token of appreciation from me and Yunyun." I placed the gift in her hand and she took it.
Yunyun on my side was nodding excessively with a smile on her face. She was looking forward to be treated as a friend.
"You and I may have unpleasant meeting but please take care of us."
"I see... thanks."
Luna-san opened the pouch and see the sweets inside.
"Hm? What are these?"
"Try it! They taste good."
She took one of the sweet which colored red and put it on her mouth. Her eyes widened on surprised when she tasted it.
"Hm! It's sweet! Very delicious!"
Her loud words took the attention of her co-workers and waitresses then they all went together to the counter.
Before that happens, I grabbed Yunyun's hand and immediately walked away with her.
"Wait! Where did you get these? Did you made it?" Luna-san yelled.
"Sorry, it's secret!" I responded as we left the guild.
We visited back to inn where we formerly live and spoke to the Inn Owner.
"It's been a while, Inn owner!"
"We came to visit!" Yunyun looked happy to see her again.
"Oh my, Haru and Yunyun! How are you two doing--Wait! Why are wearing a blindfold Haru?"
"Because it looks cool!" I gave her a thumbs up.
"It's something wrong with your head?" the Inn Owner asked.
"No, actually... Yunyun is too adorable that I have to wear this blindfold or else I will fall more head over heels on her."
"Moo~ Haru-kun!" Yunyun shook me intensely for making embarrassed.
We spoke about our relationship with the Inn Owner and she was disappointed when we didn't made any progress but she understands since we are still young. After leaving some gifts for her, she gave us some advises and told us we can take our time and don't rush things, because good things happens when the tine is right. Sounds really like some old quotes from my past life. I still have a lot to things that I haven't reveal to Yunyun and it's about me in my past life. The story of my family. I will tell her that long story slowly.
After that, we went next to the Magic Tool Shop and the store owner still quite dimwitted. I gave her a pouch of sweets and she happily accepted it.
Taking a long detour around the town, we decided to take a break and looked for place rest until Yunyun pointed at the bench under tree.
"Let's sit over there, Haru-kun!"
"Okay."
Looking at the bench, it was emitting some kind of curse energy flowing around it and my Six Eyes can clearly see it. It's not something dangerous but it gives me chill to my spine.
"Wait, Yunyun!" I stopped Yunyun with my arm but the back of my hand touched her soft chest.
Her face turned red then she trembled.
"Sorry!" I immediately put away my hands at her.
"No, it's fine. It was an accident." she replied becoming embarrassed.
I don't usually act like this but I'm just kind of being considerate of her.
"Let's go, Yunyun. Let's just rest later--Huh?"
When we glanced to the bench, we were shock that it wasn't there anymore and it disappeared out of nowhere.
"What was that just now?!" Yunyun got frightened and she clung tightly on my arm, I'm feeling the softness of her chest again.
A menacing bench that disappears and I didn't remember anything like that from this world.
We immediately leave the place while I'm looking out for anything around as I took off my blindfold.
"Haru-kun! Your eyes! They're glowing!"
"My eyes just gained a new ability."
"Eh? What kind of new ability?" she became very interested until she remembered something and gave me a suspicious look, covering her chest and legs
"Wait... Don't ell me! Can you see through my clothes?"
Of course, I won't tell her that I can and answered her with small twist on my word while teasing her.
"Well, I wish that I could."
"You pervert!" Yunyun blushed to me and she yelled in embarrassment.
"Yeah, only to you." I smiled.
"Ugh.. Ugh.. Waah! Haru-kun, you idiot!" she overheated and ran away from me.
I sighed, wearing back my blindfold due to fatigue.
"Huh?"
I sensed two people behind me and when I turned, it was Aqua carrying Megumin in her back after releasing her explosion spell.
"Oh, it's been a while, you two."
"Haru? Why are you wearing a blindfold?" Aqua asked me the same question as other people when they first saw me.
"Because it looks cool, right? Megumin?"
"Yes, it's cool!" Megumin gave me a thumbs up.
Aqua gave a weird look but she didn't mind it and I followed them to their mansion.
"Why are you following us? Are you some kind of stalker?"
Hearing their words, I lost the reason to treat them like a friend and I turned around, waving my hand.
"I see... I just thought of dropping by and share some sweets from my trip but I guess..."
They immediately went to stop form leaving and the two of them blocked my path in desperation.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! We're just joking! How about having a tea with us?" Aqua said while Megumin suddenly moved by herself.
"That's right, Haru! You don't have to hurry and leave!"
They let entered their mansion while I'm looking around their living room which seems to be luxurious then a blonde woman wearing an armor greeted me dignified demeanor.
Staring at her for a moment, I moved closer to Megumin and whispered some questions to her.
"Hey, Megumin! Did she got pregnant?"
Darkness heard our conversation and she became embarrassed, "What have you been spreading to the guild, Megumin?!"
"It seems like they only slept together but nothing actually happened." Megumin responded.
"I see... Anyway, where's Kazuma?"
When I asked about their party leader, they all became silent.
