As the doorway opened, a familiar girl stood in front of Takei.
A light blue cardigan over a small white shirt alongside cream colored pants were the first things that stood out to Takei. Normally the clothes on a person wouldn't really matter to him, but Akari's clothes were different. It simply elevated her loveliness and his instinctual urge to protect her.
"I'll get embarrassed if you stare so much…" Akari said, while fidgeting around.
"Oh, um... Sorry, my bad. You look so great, it left me in awe."
Akari's eyes went wide as her brain registered the words he said.
"How can you say such things so easily…" Akari murmured.
"Did you say something?"
"Nope! Thank you for the compliment, can I come inside?" Akari anxiously asked.
"Yeah sure, welcome to my humble abode once again." Takei smiled as he ushered her inside.
Akari walked into the house and noticed the changes instantly.
"It's… a lot cleaner than it usually is?"
Takei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Ah, I cleaned up to make sure you have the best experience possible."
"Experience?" Akari tilted her head at the mention of the word.
Wow, that's cute.
"You'll see," Takei smirked. "Sit down first though."
Takei pointed towards the couch expressing his desire for her to sit down. The goddess nodded and sat down elegantly.
"I'll prepare some tea." Takei quickly said, as he walked towards the kitchen to start brewing the tea.

"So essentially, you're going to listen to my every command for a whole day?" Akari questioned Takei.
"Yep, starting now, I'm all yours," Takei said.
The cheesy line could've been terribly misunderstood, but it seemed like Akari understood the nuance of the line.
A gentle smile appeared on the goddess's face at the realization that she could make him follow her every whim. Typically the goddess is a very selfless person, but she is not a person without desires.
"Can we go to a cat cafe today?" Akari cutely asked.
"Your wish is my command, my lady."
At Takei's acknowledgement, the two embarked on what would be an unforgettable day.
***
Light colored jeans, a black collared shirt, and sunglasses were the things that Takei decided to wear.
They left the house a while ago and had just recently arrived at the cat cafe.
The trip there was extremely unnerving for Takei since people kept staring at the odd combo. An average dude just didn't look appealing next to a bombshell of a girl.
Putting that aside, he walked into the cafe and greeted the attendant. Takei reached for his wallet and paid for two 1 hour tickets.
Akari pursed her lips. "I feel bad making you pay since this is what I want to do…"
Takei chuckled at the sight of a meek Akari. "It's fine, I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now so you're not the only one benefitting."
After paying, they were given wristbands to wear and were told the rules of the establishment. Of course, the rules were mostly common sense such as not forcing yourself on to the cat and letting it sniff you first to get a feel for what type of person you are.
Both Akari and Takei gave their acknowledgement to the attendant and walked towards the area where the cats were lounging around.
They sat down side by side on a couch and started their crusade to befriend some cats.
At first, the cats were very wary of both of them. Then little by little, the cats went up to them curiously and started sniffing them. Once they were registered as friendly, the cats made their way over and snuggled up to them. Rather than them, it was mostly Takei that got the majority of the cats. Akari managed to get one cat, but Takei had several at any time.
Akari pouted at the sight of this. "The female cats love you a lot, huh?"
Takei could feel her displeased aura grow little by little.
"I'm sorry?"
He didn't know what to say to calm down Akari, so he went with a questioning apology.
"It's not your fault… I'm just a little bit jealous," Akari mumbled.
"What was that last part?" Takei questioned.
"It's nothing!"
Eventually, the cats warmed up to Akari as well and a good time was had.
