"You see, we are just opening up and to motivate the people around here to come more often we are giving these free tickets for the day. So use it for whatever attraction you want, not that there are many of them to pick yet.
" He showed his point as he extended his arms, signaling the various stands the place has that are still close or are under construction for the grand opening.
"Free ticket, huh. " Pondered the boy as he looked to his right.
"So we can-O-Oi!" He shouted as the girl instantly dragged him from his arm around to the other side.
"We won Shinji-san, might as well use this. " Chirped the blonde girl as she fastened her pace.
"At least tell me before dragging me!" Complained the black haired teen. He was beginning to notice how strong the petite girl was to actually drag someone as him around.
From the corner of his eyes he could see the old man laughing out loud while watching the scene unfold, he was beginning to hate that guy.
"What a day. " Said a tired girl as she looked to the sky.
The pair spent the rest of the time playing free games while starting a little competitions with themselves, the teenager would start scoring big at games consisting of brute force while the girl would just annihilate him on shooting one and overall anything else.
The score will settle with an extremely tight result of twenty to five, Lily claiming the top.
"At least I can now say I defeated a devil. " Commented the blonde girl as she smiled to herself while sitting on a bench, her body relaxing from the stressful night.
"Shut it, you got lucky this time. " Responded the teenager with a smile on his face.
"Here. " He said as he handed a bottle of water to his companion, the girl greeted it with a 'thanks'.
As the boy sat next to the girl, he opened the bottle and drank the liquid inside of it, relaxing as the taste came to his mouth. "This was the most bizarre night I had to be honest.
" He commented as he finished drinking, his eyes lost in the lights of the theme park in front of them.
"Yeah, I wasn't expecting to meet a freak clown and then come to an unfinished circus to play games. " Lily laughed at herself.
"What an odd date. "
At that comment the pair shared a laugh, if anything both of them looked crazy to the others walking around them. After that they remained silent while watching the night sky from the bench they were sitting on.
"Hey, Lily. " Shinji said as he tried to break out the silence.
"Why did you want to have a date contract? I mean, if you can tell me. "
The girl just smiled, her eyes saddening as she started to play with her feet. "Hey, it's okay if you don't feel comfortable responding.
" The teenager said as he felt the awkward atmosphere.
"It's okay. " The blonde girl said.
"I've pulled you all the way here, it's okay if you're curious. "
"You see, all my friends have started to go on dates with the boys from school. Be it to the cinema, park, eating something or just to play games at one's house".
She looked to the sky. "I felt left out, you know.
I mean, everyone is doing this kind of stuff and I just couldn't do it because I was too scared to ask a guy out. "
She laughed to herself, looking down as her hair covered her eyes. "You probably think I'm an idiot, doing this kind of stuff and even going as far as to make a contract with a devil.
"
The black haired teen just closed his eyes, reopening them with a smile and putting his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, who said I think that? You probably think you're left out but it's alright to never have a date for your age, you are fifteen, you have a lot of things yet to come for you.
Besides-" He scratched his cheek as a small blush appeared on his face. "-I never had a date either.
"
The girl just stared at the devil, her eyes wide open as she heard his words, a smile was drawn to her cheeks as she accepted the comfort his words gave her. "Thanks, Shinji-san.
" She said. As they returned to the silence they were in before the girl started to laugh to herself which drew the teenagers attention.
"What's wrong?" He simply asked.
"It's just, it's weird to have a devil lecture me, that's all. " She commented.
As Shinji heard his smile turned to a grin looking to the sky and then to Lily again. "Well, I guess you can say you will be the envy of all the girls in your school now, huh? You had a date with a devil.
Nothing can beat that. "
The blonde girl laughed more. "Yeah, and I even defeated that devil in almost every game a circus has to offer, now that's a thing to be proud of.
"
As the both of them laughed at their jokes, the Moon shone down upon them, decorating the surroundings with the lights of the circus still on.
"And we're here, that was a nice trip to be honest. " Shinji said as he accompanied the girl back to her home.
"Thanks Shinji-san, but it wasn't necessary to accompany me all the way here. I know how to walk, you know.
" The girl said as she turned around to talk to the teen.
"Hey it was part of my job to see you home safe, can't let something happen to you, now can I?" He commented in a cocky way. If something happened to her after all the trouble of this contract Rias would have his head served on a plate in a quite literal way.
As he had a deadpan expression because of his thoughts, the girl proceeded to open her front door. "So I guess this is the end.
