(A/N Notes: Time for more Ichi screen time)
Mio was standing inside a small room with only a desk and chair, and some bookshelf, with the chair, turned towards the window
"So did you bring him?" (Emika)
"No, I did not, milady" (Mio)
"Oh? And why is that? Do you care to explain" (Emika)
"I will repeat his very words, I refuse!" (Mio)
"... Huh?" (Emika)
Emika was confused at what she just heard, so she turned her chair around to face her maid
"He... Refused?" (Emika)
"Yup" (Mio)
"And why did he refuse?" (Emika)
"Oh, he just said he do not like people ordering him around" (Mio)
"Eh? Just that?" (Emika)
"Just that" (Mio)
"Then... Errr... Ask? Him? To come here?" (Emika)
"No problemo, ojou-sama" (Mio)
Mio said that, but she didn't move
"... Are you not going to ask him to come here?" (Emika)
"Well... There is one small problem, Emika-sama" (Mio)
"And what is it?" (Emika)
"He already left" (Mio)
"Then say that earlier!!!" (Emika)
Emika could only shout that as she was bamboozled by her maid
Now back to Itsuki and Ichi
Itsuki and Ichi were walking by the shopping district since he needed to buy some supplies for his dorm, mostly in terms of food. And right now, he was comparing two very similar items, but that had different prices and volume
"Hmmm..." (Itsuki)
"..." (Ichi)
"... *Points at one item* ... *Points at the other* ..." (Itsuki)
"..." (Ichi)
"... *Looking at the two items alternatively* ... ... Okay, it'll be this one" (Itsuki)
"..." (Ichi)
He decided to pick the cheaper but slightly smaller one, with Ichi staring at him during the whole thing, but he didn't get bothered by it, so he continued putting whatever that he needed in your shopping basket
"I think this is all... Do you want something, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)
"... No, I do not require anything, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)
"You sure?" (Itsuki)
"... Yes" (Ichi)
"I see... but I don't like that answer! So I ask you to pick something for you!" (ITsuki)
"... What you said, does not make sense... But, since you asked me to. I shall abide by your request" (Ichi)
"Now that's better" (Itsuki)
With that, Ichi began looking around the store to pick something for herself, although she didn't have any idea of what to get
"... ... ..." <... ... ... A bottle of water is a safe choice... But, a bottle of juice may look better for Itsuki-san... ... ...> (Ichi)
In her indecision, Ichi put her processing power output to the limit but was still unable to pick one
"Did you found something, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)
"!... ... ... Yes, I did" (Ichi)
She turned and looked at him, when you asked her, and answered him
"Okay! Then bring it to me at the cashier" (Itsuki)
"... Understood" (Ichi)
She turned back to the refrigerators and picked the bottle of juice, then she went to join Itsuki at the cashier. After paying for everything, the two left the store, and then he handed Ichi her juice
"Here" (Itsuki)
"... Thank you" (Ichi)
She held the bottle with both hands, but didn't open it, and simply stared at it
"Aren't you going to drink it?" (Itsuki)
"..." (Ichi)
And at his question, she opened the bottle and took a sip of it, after taking a sip she looked at the bottle and then at him
"... Do you want some?" (Ichi)
"I'll accept your offer" (Itsuki)
And he also took a sip of the juice and handed the bottle back to her, she stared some at the bottle's mouth and then bottled it up. After walking some more, the two left the shopping district
"Do you want to come to my dorm?" (Itsuki)
"... I will have to refuse your request, Itsuki-san... Since I need to go back to my creator's residence to recharge myself" (Ichi)
"I see, then see you tomorrow, Ichi-chan" (Itsuki)
"... Yes... See you tomorrow, Itsuki-san" (Ichi)
Ichi had a really small smile on her face as she went in the opposite direction from him. On her way back she kept holding the bottle with both hands, and she finished drinking it, but she found herself unable to throw the bottle away
"Were they..." (Ken)
"... On a date?" (Jin)
And somewhat behind then a certain cat-eared boy and a horned boy saw the two going on different ways
The next day
"You better start explaining" (Ken)
"Yeah, you have a lot of things to explain" (Jin)
"What're you two talking about?" (Itsuki)
Ken and Jin were interrogating Itsuki, and you didn't know why
" "We're talking about your date with the ice-hearted automata yesterday!" " (Ken and Jin)
"...?" (Itsuki)
And they both shouted the same line as they both pointed at Ichi, who didn't understand what they were doing as she turned her head to look at them, only for her to immediately turn her head forward and close her eyes again
"Date?" (Itsuki)
"Yes, date! We saw you walking alongside her in the shopping district and then go in opposite directions!" (Ken)
"Aaahh... That! I only asked her if she wanted to accompany me on my way back to the dorm" (Itsuki)
"Then you admit you two went on a date!!!" (Jin)
"?" (Itsuki)
Itsuki wasn't able to get what Ken and Jin were saying to him, but before they could even continue that, a certain red-haired elf in maid clothes entered the classroom and approached him
"Greetings to you again, Itsuki-sama" (Mio)
"Ah! Hello, Mio-san" (Itsuki)
"!" (Ichi)
" "!?" " (Ken and Jin)
When Ichi heard Mio's voice calling his name, she opened her eyes and turned her head to look at her, while Ken and Jin got shocked at seeing Mio coming here, and talking to him
"My young master is asking if it's possible for you to come and see her after school" (Mio)
"Hm? Okay, since she asked it doesn't hurt to see what your master wants" (Itsuki)
"Alright, I'll go inform her that you agreed to meet her later. Bye-bye, Itsuki-sama" (Mio)
"Bye-bye, Mio-san" (Itsuki)
And she left the same way she came in. Then immediately after she stepped out of the classroom, Ken and Jin grabbed Itsuki's shoulders
" "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU JUST TALKED TO!?!?!?" " (Ken and Jin)
"... To Mio-san?" (Itsuki)
"Yeah, you just talked to Mikan Mio, and do you even know who she's a maid for!?" (Ken)
"No!" (Itsuki)
He said that with a confident tone
"Don't be proud of it!" (Jin)
And as the two were holding their heads trying to make him get who Mio was, but as they didn't speak, Ichi turned herself to face him, as she felt a weird and uncomfortable feeling within her program
"... Itsuki-san, I have a request for you" (Ichi)
"Hm? What is it, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)
"I request your permission to closely follow you after school" (Ichi)
"!?" (Everyone else in the classroom)
"Okay!"
"!?!?!?" (Everyone else in the classroom)
Ken, Jin, and the rest of the class were somewhat able to get what was going with Ichi's request considering who you just had talked to. Aside from the two people in question that being you and Ichi
