As Yuki emerged from the bathroom, a minute had woven a quiet interlude in Ryouichi's living room. She approached Ryouichi, her inquisitive gaze questioning his repose on the couch. With a mild sense of bemusement, she asked, "What are you doing?"
Ryouichi, momentarily caught off guard by the inquiry, responded with candor, "I'm lying down on the couch." Yuki, her curiosity satisfied, acknowledged his explanation with a simple, "I see. Why, though?"
The question sparked a realization in Ryouichi's mind, a recall of the subtle plan he had woven earlier with Yuki. A momentary pause followed before he offered an apologetic, "Oh... Sorry." Yuki, appreciating the acknowledgment, responded with a lighthearted acceptance, "That's more like it. Anyways, you can continue lying down on the couch... For now."
A sigh of relief escaped Ryouichi as Yuki granted him the continuance of his comfortable perch on the couch. Seizing the opportunity, he retrieved the Smart TV Remote Control, placed on a nearby table. With a press of a button, the living room was bathed in the warm glow of the Smart TV.
Yuki, finding a spot on another couch, inquired with genuine interest, "What will you watch?" The Smart TV's screen flickered to life, casting a soft glow across the room as Ryouichi pondered the myriad possibilities.
Ryouichi, navigating through the digital landscape, considered the options before him. The vast expanse of content beckoned, from movies to series, documentaries to animated classics. A moment of contemplation lingered in the air as he scrolled through the menu, each option a potential gateway to a shared experience.
The living room, now illuminated by the shifting hues of the Smart TV, became a canvas of anticipation. The choice of what to watch was more than a selection; it was a decision that would shape the ambiance, guiding the night's narrative.
As Ryouichi perused the options, Yuki, nestled comfortably on the adjacent couch, awaited the revelation of their entertainment for the night. The air was charged with the subtle excitement.
In the gentle glow of the living room, Ryouichi and Yuki, momentarily detached from the bustling world outside, prepared to embark on the next chapter of their night. The Smart TV, a portal to myriad narratives, awaited the touch of a remote button to unfold a tale that would intertwine with the fabric of their night.
Ryouichi, with a playful glint in his eyes, turned to Yuki and posed a question that held the promise of shared enjoyment. "Would you like to watch an anime?" he inquired, casting a suggestion into the air. Yuki, intrigued by the prospect, reciprocated with a curious, "Which one?"
The choice lingered momentarily before Ryouichi settled on "Blue Exorcist." Yuki, with a nod of approval, replied, "Sure." Ryouichi, pleased with their anime selection, added an extra layer of excitement, sharing, "Great... Season 3 will release soon."
Intrigued by the revelation, Yuki sought more details. "When?" she inquired, her anticipation evident in the glimmer of her smile. Ryouichi, bearing the news like a harbinger of entertainment, disclosed, "January of 2024." Yuki's smile widened, a spark of enthusiasm lighting up her eyes. "Finally!" she exclaimed, a testament to the shared joy of anticipating the next season of a beloved anime.
The prospect of revisiting the preceding seasons added another layer of delight to the anime-filled evening. "I'll rewatch Season 1 and 2," Ryouichi declared, setting the stage for a nostalgic journey through the earlier arcs. Yuki, ready to dive into the anime realm, began to express her thoughts, but Ryouichi, with an air of spontaneity, interjected, "I'll rewatch some episodes of Season 1 for today."
"Okay," Yuki agreed, a shared understanding forming between them. Ryouichi, seizing the opportunity to enhance their viewing experience, proposed a change of venue. "Let's head into my bedroom. We can watch the anime there." With the Smart TV now dormant, the promise of an anime-filled haven awaited them in Ryouichi's bedroom.
The transition from the living room to the more intimate setting of the bedroom held a sense of shared camaraderie. Ryouichi led the way, and Yuki followed, each step reinforcing the connection between them.
As they entered this cozy domain, Ryouichi and Yuki prepared to immerse themselves in the animated world, where the tales of exorcists and demons would unfold in the soft glow of the screen. The stage was set for a night of anime bliss, a delightful retreat into a realm where imagination and storytelling converged.
With a sense of anticipation in the air, Ryouichi sauntered towards his PC, a portal to the vast digital realm of entertainment. He powered it on, the hum of its awakening complementing the mood of the evening. As Chrome unfolded its virtual embrace, Ryouichi navigated to Crunchyroll, the gateway to an extensive library of anime adventures. The search bar became his compass as he typed the words "Blue Exorcist" and clicked on the result, unveiling a plethora of episodes awaiting exploration.
The chosen episode, Season 1, Episode 1, materialized on the screen, and the familiar strains of the opening theme resonated in the room.
