*Three Days Later*
It had been three days since Akira last spoke with Kurumi, and he had been spending his days lazily, going to school and returning to Sakura-sou to flirt with Mashiro and teach her some common sense. He didn't forget to chat with everyone in the group chat, where he was warmly welcomed and treated kindly.
Today, Akira decided to explore the world beyond the door, but first, he decided to have a meal since he was a bit hungry.
With this thought, Akira put on his clothes, consisting of shorts and a black T-shirt adorned with a blue wolf in the center.
After putting on his shoes, Akira left Sakura-sou and headed to the park where he first met Mashiro when she came to Japan, recalling that there was a family restaurant there.
Although Akira could have ordered food by phone, he preferred to eat out since he was planning to leave Sakura-sou anyway.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Akira couldn't help but sigh as the family restaurant was already closed.
"Sigh ~ ..." - X2.
"... " - Hearing a sigh beside him, Akira and the other person looked at the source of the sound with curiosity, realizing that the other person also intended to eat at the family restaurant.
Standing before Akira was a beautiful girl with long ash-colored hair and a pair of blue eyes resembling the ocean. Despite her beauty, she lacked in the chest and rear areas but possessed a pair of lovely legs covered in beautiful black stockings.
Although this was the first time Akira saw this girl directly, he recognized her as Yukinoshita Yukino, a student in her second year at Suimei University of the Arts, known as the Ice Cold Princess.
"Hello ..." - Despite her cold demeanor, Yukino couldn't help but greet Akira in amazement, as she wasn't superficial about appearances but was captivated by Akira's handsomeness.
"Hi ..." - Akira nodded, not expecting Yukino to greet him and wondering if this was due to Yukina (Yukino's Mother).
Although Yukina often told her daughters to respect Akira, this wasn't the reason for Yukino's greeting this time, as she was simply fascinated by his looks, even though Akira didn't notice any lust from Yukino.
"If you're hungry, how about we go to that small store? We might find something good to eat." - Akira suggested, pointing to a nearby small store, as they should find something to eat even at this late hour approaching midnight.
"Hmm ..." - Yukino nodded quietly, following Akira, as it was better to join someone she knew than wander alone at this late hour, especially with recent murders.
Although Yukino didn't know Akira personally, her mother's constant talk about him gave her some trust in him.
Moreover, with the Yukinoshita family's status, Yukino knew about attack mages and knew Akira was a powerful one, as he didn't hide his identity or strength.
"Welcome ..." - Upon entering the small store, they were greeted by the monotonous but clearly tired voice of the employee.
Neither Akira nor Yukino paid much attention and went to the food section to find something to eat.
While Yukino went to the vegetable bento and light items section, Akira went to the meat bento and fatty foods section, as unlike Yukino, who was a girl concerned about her weight, Akira had no such worries.
"I'll be waiting for you in the eating area." - Akira said, carrying three large bentos.
Although Akira didn't know Yukino personally, he couldn't ignore her due to his relationship with Yukina, so he took it upon himself to accompany her tonight, as this area was filled with the smell of blood.
Although unnoticeable to humans, for Akira, the smell was so strong that he could barely stop himself from retching.
"Are you going to eat all that?" - Yukino asked in shock, not expecting Akira to have such a big appetite.
"Is there a problem with that?" - Akira asked, puzzled, as these three bentos weren't enough to satisfy him, but this wasn't a full meal, so he didn't intend to eat until he was full.
"No ... Since I'm done, let's go together." - Yukino decided to ignore it, considering Akira a bit of a mystery.
After finding a table to sit at, Akira wanted to start eating but stopped when he heard Yukino speak to him.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yukinoshita Yukino, and I'm in my second year at Suimei University of the Arts." - Yukino said politely, bowing slightly toward Akira - "Thank you for always taking care of my mother."
Although Yukino's relationship with her mother wasn't good initially, after her father's death, her mother changed and no longer forced them into anything. They became a lovely, warm family, though each lived separately, ensuring they saw each other at least once a month.
"It seems you know me, but I'll introduce myself. My name is Nifuji Akira, and Yukina-san has taken care of me a lot, so I'm just repaying her kindness." - Akira smiled nonchalantly and picked up his chopsticks - "No need for formalities since you are my Senpai. By the way, can I call you Yukino-senpai, and you can call me Akira?"
"Sure." - Yukino nodded, not minding Akira calling her by her first name, as he was a benefactor to her family.
After the small talk, the two began eating in silence, as there wasn't much to talk about.
