We are currently at our first Dating location, the Aquarium. this is one of the biggest aquarium in the city.
Before going on a date with Rika, I had researched online about dating places in this city. This will be my first date in this life, and maybe Rika is the same, so I want this date to be really memorable. well, not that this will be our last date.
for that reason, I chose Aquarium for our first date location today.
And, this seems to be the right choice so far. Rika looks happy.
We held hands, and saw the fish moving to and fro with agility. Not only small fish, but also many big fish like Sharks, rays, etc.
"Yuki, look, isn't that a clownfish?"
Rika dragged me closer to the clown fish.
When I saw Clown Fish, I remembered one of the cartoons I had watched before. A cartoon that tells the struggle of a clownfish father looking for his missing son. it's a good cartoon.
"Yuki, let's take a picture."
"Of course."
Rika took out her cell phone. and, taking our picture with the clownfish in the background.
After taking a few pictures, Rika smiled happily while looking at the photos.
I just hope that in the photos, I don't have a weird facial expression.
Satisfied with seeing the clown fish, we continued our journey around this place.
From the first time we were here, I noticed that people were staring at us.
Men are fascinated by Rika's appearance, even men who are dating their partners sometimes glance at Rika. I think it's very reasonable, however, Rika's appearance is so stunning.
However, I really hate men who stare at Rika with lustful eyes. I looked at the men very sharply to threaten them.
[Good job, Master. A lion must protect his lover.]
'Can you set an example with the others, Karen? I don't want to be compared to a lion, after you said the previous thing.'
"Yuki, just ignore them. There will be no end. If it goes out of bounds, I will call the security here."
I nod my head. Rika seemed very used to getting this much attention. However, I will still glare at the men who dare to look at Rika with lustful eyes.
However, Rika wasn't the only one who was getting a lot of attention. I also get a lot of attention from the women here. And, the gazes of hatred and jealousy from the men.
I know the reason guys are jealous and hate me, it's because my girlfriend is awesome.
But, these women, why am I getting this much attention?
[Master, don't you notice? You are much different now from the first time I met you.
When I look at your memories, in the past, you had a gloomy aura surrounding you. Your face always shows an unhappy expression. you also seem not to pay attention to your own appearance, and many more. with all these things, even though you have a handsome face, but it's all covered up.
But now you are different. There is no longer an aura of gloom that surrounds you. your face looks happy and always smiling. it's like all the dust and dirt that stuck to your body has disappeared, and now you are so radiant.]
'Wow, did I look like that in the past? Damn, so that's the reason I've never gotten a girlfriend in the past. Thanks for the explanation, Karen.'
[You're welcome, Master. ]
Before I got the System, Life was so hard for me. And, Very rarely do I feel happy. In fact, I once thought about ending my life.
However, ever since I got the system, even though I was very disappointed because the system I got wasn't the OP system that was in the novels, my life slowly changed.
I smile and laugh more, especially with Karen's behavior. I also got my first girlfriend, even though getting one was really hard, but it was totally worth it.
"Look, that guy is very handsome. Is he a model?"
"That's right, I really want to get acquainted with him."
"Maybe he is a foreign artist? Look at his white hair."
"Kyaa, I really wish I had a boyfriend like him."
I immediately came to my senses when I heard the words of the women around us. They said that loud enough for Rika and I to hear.
Rika hugged my right arm tightly while glaring at the women.
"These whores..."
Seeing Rika's behavior that seemed to protect me from the women around us, made me smile.
' A moment ago, he said to ignore the other people around us. But see now? He glared at the women around me.'
[You don't understand a woman's heart, Master. ]
"Let's go, Rika."
"Sure, Darling. Let's go." Rika said the words just now in a tone that the women around us would hear.
Rika really did that on purpose.
And Rika seems to have succeeded in making the women upset and angry.
As a final blow, Rika gave a triumphant smile while continuing to hug my right arm.
In order to avoid bloodshed between Rika and the women around us, I also took Rika away from this place.
In this place, not only can we see various kinds of fish from the smallest to the biggest, there are other things we can do.
one of them there is a place for visitors to see and feed the penguins.
When we arrived at the venue, Rika couldn't help feeling happy. Rika looked at the penguin with sparkling eyes and said that penguin was a cute animal.
However, Seeing and feeding are different things. Unlike when we saw the penguin, when we were about to feed the penguin, Rika looked scared.
"Y-Yuki, won't this penguin bite?"
"No Rika, that penguin won't bite you. Even penguins don't have teeth."
The female officer near us just smiled seeing Rika's behavior. while the children in this place were enthusiastically feeding the penguins, Rika looked scared.
Seeing that Rika was still unsure, I gave Rika an example.
"Look Rika, I'll feed the penguin." I took the Fish in the bucket I brought and gave it to the Penguin in front of us. even though I gave fish near the penguin's mouth, the penguin just took the fish in my hand and didn't bite my hand.
"See? The penguin didn't bite my hand," I said. "Now try it, Rika."
Rika nodded her head, and she took the fish in the bucket. With hands still shaking, Rika brought the fish closer to the penguin, and the penguin immediately took the fish.
A happy smile appeared on Rika's face when she saw the penguin eating the fish Rika gave her.
Rika went back to take the fish and fed the penguin happily.
Seeing Rika smiling happily while feeding the penguins, I also wanted to capture this moment by taking a picture.
"Can you take a picture of us? I want to capture this moment." I asked a female officer near us. Seeing the female officer nod her head, I gave her my cell phone.
Then, the female officer started taking pictures of Rika and me feeding the penguins.
After feeling enough, the female officer returned my cell phone. I took my cellphone and didn't forget to thank the female officer.
This seemed to be a normal occurrence for the female officer. besides us, people also seem to do the same.
"Do you want to feed the penguins again, Rika?" I asked. The fish in the bucket is gone. We can buy more fish in this place. this place sells fish for penguin food to visitors who want to feed the penguins.
Rika shook her head, "No, I'm already very satisfied."
"I see, then let's wash our hands first and go somewhere else."
-----
Satisfied with enjoying our time at the aquarium, we left.
"Yuki, I want to eat seafood."
"Well, do you have any recommendations, Rika?"
Rika nodded her head, "I have."
With Rika's direction, I drove the car to the restaurant that Rika meant.
30 minutes later, we finally arrived. This is a restaurant that is quite close to the beach.
After parking the car in the parking lot, we both went down.
Rika walked up to me and took my hand. We held hands and walked towards the restaurant.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the waiters who were at the entrance of the restaurant.
One of the male waiters immediately took us in and guided us to an empty table.
After we sat down, the male waiter immediately gave us 2 menu books.
Opening the menu book, quite a lot of menus are offered by this restaurant. And the price, unlike what I imagined, I think the price is still quite affordable.
Even though I'm a little unfamiliar with the names of the foods in this menu book, luckily there are descriptions.
I ordered a dish with quite a difficult name, Spaghetti allo Scoglio. In the description it was spaghetti with seafood. And the drink, I think orange juice is enough.
After taking our order, the male waiter left.
The restaurant isn't too crowded, so it isn't too loud. Maybe because it was past lunch time?
While waiting for our order, we chatted.
Not long after, our orders came.
When I saw the food I ordered, it was exactly like the description.
We ate our food in silence. No chatting or anything until we finished eating and drinking.
The taste is satisfying, I will try to make it at home next time. For the recipe, I can find it on the internet.
"Yuki, how about we take a walk on the beach?"
"Are you sure? It's cold outside. And it doesn't look like our clothes are suitable for a walk on the beach."
"Yes, somehow I want to take a walk on the beach with you now." Rika looked at me and waited for my answer. Rika's expression showed that she really wanted me to agree with her plan.
Sigh... If Rika is like that, how can I refuse her?
"Okay, let's go for a walk on the beach after this."
Hearing my agreement, Rika smiled happily.
----
After paying for our order, we went to the beach.
We took a walk on the beach with Rika tightly hugging my right arm.
As expected, the weather here is cold. And, the sky was overcast. I just hope it doesn't rain soon.
Even though it was like that, the smile on Rika's face never disappeared.
Very few people were on the beach at this time, as if it were our private beach. well, who wants to go to the beach in this weather?
We walked far enough that I couldn't see anyone but us.
Suddenly, Rika stopped in her tracks. He even let go of my hand.
Then Rika stood before me and looked at me.
"Yuki, did you have fun today?"
I saw a worried expression on Rika's face. I think I know what Rika is worried about.
"Are you afraid that I won't have fun today?" I asked.
"Yeah, I don't want to be the only one having fun during this date, Yuki."
"Don't worry, Rika. I had so much fun today. It was a pleasure to spend time with you. Seeing you smile, laugh and more up close makes me so happy." I said.
Rika's worried expression immediately disappeared, and her usual smile returned to her face.
"I'm glad to hear that, Yuki."
"Let's make unforgettable memories on our first day of dating, the day is long, and there are other places we will visit after this."
"Yes, you are right. Let's make our date special."
I smiled at Rika. And our gazes met. I looked into Rika's black eyes that looked mesmerizing.
Hypnotized by her gaze, my face slowly approached Rika's.
Our faces were so close that I could feel Rika's breath on my face.
"I love you, Rika."
"I love you too, Yuki."
Slowly our lips approached each other and finally met.
