Asuka asked surprised as she see Yuuto standing in front of the mirror in the morning.
The Yuuto that usually sleeps till noon. Asuka stared at Yuuto as he straighten his attire properly.
「No, Just a bit. I’ve got a date. That’s why I’m dressing up a bit」
「Hmmm…Wait, D-d-d-date!? W-With whom!?」
Yuuto answers while looking at the mirror and Asuka unconsciously raised her voice. Yuuto continued to speak without minding the eyes of Asuka that completely woke up.
「It’s Thunderbolt-san. I promised her the other day when we met in the castle」
Saying that, Yuuto arranged his bangs. Asuka panics and speaks to that sort of Yuuto.
「D-Date you mean, Where are you going? Or rather, why?」
「Hmm, didn’t the three of us do a study meeting the other day? Thunderbolt-san seems to have wanted to participate too. Isn’t she pitiful? Then, when we talked it turned out to be a date without me knowing how」
Listening to Yuuto’s explanation, Asuka grit her molar.
If it’s Thunderbolt then, it’s that Thunderbolt. She’s a fellow hero she fought to death but that’s a different story.
(E-Even I hadn’t done a proper date with him!)
Imagining the face hero with an eye mask, Asuka felt sweat from her back.
Not just Asuka. Even Risty and Sasha had gone to work or shopping with him and having love affairs incidentally but they hadn’t dated with him properly.
“Why is Thunderbolt stealing the march?”, Asuka draw cloeser to Yuuto.
「W-Why did it come to you scheduling a date without knowing how!?」
Hearing Yuuto’s extremely honest words, Asuka fell on her knees.1 Certainly, she never invited Yuuto for a date.
She fawned too much. For some reason she turned to be a partner. Asuka cursed her own carelessness.
(No, why I’m receiving shock? It’s not like it matters to me who he takes on a date. Or rather, why does he not invite me to a date? Can’t he just gloss it pervert-like when doing it?)
It’s all Yuuto’s fault.2 She turned a blind eye on her own carelessness and Asuka calmed down her spirit somehow.
However, Asuka’s still jelly. ‘It must be nice’, she stares at Yuuto but with her eyebrows frowning.
「W-Well, It’s not like it matters to me who you date. Really, that’s not how I think…But, you see, It’s that? If you really want to take me to a date by all means, I’m going to think a bit about it or rather…」
「Ah, Shit! It’s already this late!? I’ll be going!!」3
Asuka murmurs. However, Yuuto began to run in panic after looking at the clock on the wall. He has to go so he won’t make Thunderbolt wait.4
In the living room where Yuuto left, Asuka looked up trembling.
Sasha who showed up pats her master’s shoulder.
「You were forestalled」
「B-Betsuniー」5
Sasha giggles at Asuka that bluffs happiness.

「…What’s that?」
Capital’s center plaza. Yuuto instinctively frowned on the strange spectacle in front of the fountain. The people in the plaza are sending fluttering glances.
Eye mask and Usamimi6 ribbon That’s the usual.
She’s frilly. White and pink frills. ‘Was it called sweet lolita?’, Yuuto doesn’t know the details but Thunderbolt with a girlish taste of clothes was there.
It’s not intended to be a goth loli or a sweet loli at all. However, the courteous leather belt is a usual trade and Gungnir is shouldered on her back of course. In addition, her trademark eye mask.
「What should I do?」
It’s too suspicious. Yuuto would call her out if possible but he can’t.
After all his partner is the the world’s strongest when it comes to perception. As a matter of course, he’ll be caught the moment he stepped in the plaza of the capital.
