Chapter 25: CH 24

24 - Home date flag

"......" (Rinka)

I've been walking around town hand in hand with Rinka since a while ago, but we have been in silence which is a bit sweet and sour.

This is because Rinka is not saying a single word.

I can tell that she's embarrassed because her face, which I can see through the mask, is stained red.

She usually says that she isn't ashamed saying 'stuff becoming wife', but it seems that she becomes a innocent maiden just by holding hands with me.

Is this really an atmosphere for a date?

I may have been too aggressive from the very beginning.

Also, I can feel eyes on me from behind.

I don't have to look back to know who it is.

I'm pretty sure it's Kurumizaka-san.

Somehow I have a feeling that she's grinning.

"Say, Rinka." (Kazuto)

"Wh-what is it......" (Rinka)

"I'm going to ask you straight out, are you okay? If this's too much for you, you don't have to strain yourself, you know." (Kazuto)

"No, I'm fine. I probably have been waiting for this day for a few years. Ever since I was playing with Kazu in the game......." (Rinka)

Rinka mutters sincerely, as if she was chewing on her current happiness.

If that's what she says, then I'm not going to say anything.

It's fun even if you don't talk about anything.

I'll be happy to just walk around with her, admiring the city, but it'll also be a shame to end the date just with that.

Looking at the time, we decide to go to a store.

It's almost time for the stores to start getting crowded, so we should head for the café we've been eyeing.

"Hey, Kazuto-kun. Is that child okay?" (Rinka)

"What?" (Kazuto)

I look in the direction that Rinka pointed.

A little girl is standing at the edge of the sidewalk, looking anxious.

Judging by her figure, she is probably no more than an elementary school student.

"I have a feeling that......she's a lost child. She was separated from his parents and didn't know what to do." (Rinka)

"When you put it that way, it does seem that way." (Kazuto)

She isn't crying, so she isn't attracting attention.

The people around her pass by without paying any attention to the lost girl.

"Do you mind if I go talk to her for a minute? If she's not lost, I'll be right back." (Rinka)

"No problem. I mean, I'm coming with you too." (Kazuto)

If she's really lost, we can't just leave her there.

We went to the girl who's standing there in a daze.

"May I have a minute?" (Rinka)

"......?"

Rinka crouches down to meet the child's gaze and calls her out.

"I'm sorry for talking to you out of the blue. I was worried that you might be lost." (Rinka)

"......"

The child seems to be wary, looks at Rinka in the eyes, and fell silent.

Well, it can't be helped.

Rinka is now wearing a full set of disguising gear including a hat, glasses, and mask.

It's no wonder she looks a little suspicious.

"Or are you waiting for someone?" (Rinka)

"......Mommy is, lost."

"Mommy, yes?" (Rinka)

The girl nods her head.

It seems that in this child's mind, her mother is the one who is lost.

I almost giggle.

"So......, when did your mother get lost?" (Rinka)

"A while ago."

"So that's it......" (Rinka)

Rinka nods gently as she stands up.

She shows a slight gesture of distress and speaks to me.

"Kazuto-kun, should we take her to the police station?." (Rinka)

"Let's see. If it was just a while ago, I'm sure her mother will come looking for her, so it'd be better if we wait here." (Kazuto)

It's better to wait at the point where the child got lost than to take her around.

The police station will be the last resort.

"Mommy had.... told me to wait there and not follow anyone when I got separated from her."

"I see. Then let's do this. Wait here for a while, and if mommy doesn't come for you, we'll go to the police station then. Are you okay with it?" (Rinka)

"......"

After a few seconds of silence, the lost girl gives a small nod.

"Is that okay with you, Kazuto-kun?" (Rinka)

"Yeah." (Kazuto)

We decide to wait until his mother came to pick her up, just in case.

It's a reasonable decision.

I take a quick look around.

I don't see anyone who looks like this kid's parents.

Most of the people walking around are young people.

There are also some families............. Ah, There's Kurumizaka-san who is hiding behind a telephone pole.

She's completely seen through.

As I watch in amazement, she takes her smartphone out of her pocket and starts to make a call.

Sure enough, my smartphone starts ringing.

"Sorry, Rinka. I just got a call." (Kazuto)

"I understand......." (Rinka)

I pick up the phone, keeping a little distance from Rinka, who stares at me suspiciously.

"What is it, Kurumizaka-san?" (Kazuto)

"Kazu-kun, what's going on?" (Nana)

"She's lost. She's waiting for her mother to come back." (Kazuto)

"That sounds terrible. But you're on a date, remember?" (Nana)

"Even if you say that......., I can't just leave her alone. Rinka also seems to feel the same way." (Kazuto)

"...... You're both so kind, yes~." (Nana)

"It's normal, isn't it." (Kazuto)

It's nothing special.

I look at the girls as I make the call.

In this short time, Rinka seems to have loosened the girl's alertness.

The girl is conversing with Rinka with a relaxed expression on her face.

"Are you his lover, sister?"

"No, we are not lovers, you know? We are a couple. I am Kazuto-kun's wife." (Rinka)

Rinka-san?

What are you trying to infusing a young child?

"Wooooow. Have you kissed him yet?"

"......O-of course.......!" (Rinka)

"How many times did you do it?"

"Th-that is already...... uncountable......" (Rinka)

Rinka shakes her voice subtly.

Why are you acting so tough there......

You were able to answer that we were husband and wife before, yet you weren't able to answer that you had never kissed?

"Do you already have a child?"

"No, not yet. But ideally, I would like to have about ten." (Rinka) (PTW/N: oww boiii~, it's a sign that you have to do more exercises and stamina trainings~)

That's a lot! Isn't it already like a baseball team!

It seems Rinka wants a big family.

......That reminds me, Mikio Papa has ever told me about it.

He said that his wife had always been clinging to him all the time every day and that he felt exhausted in the morning.

To put it more bluntly, for a sophomore high schooler, Rinka, having a little sister, Nonoa-chan, who is a first-grader,

It means that...... her parents are still in great spirits at night

"What's wrong Kazu-kun. Are you listening to my befriending strategy?" (Nana)

"...... I'll choose a job that requires a lot of business trips." (Kazuto)

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Your voice sounds distant somehow." (Nana)

"It's nice to be desired, but too much of it can kill a man." (Kazuto)

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can tell it's very heavy." (Nana)

I'm flattered, but there is a limit.

That a man is.

I feel like I understand Mikio Papa's struggle a little better now.

"I'll hang up the phone then." (Kazuto)

"Okay. Good luck then." (Nana)

I hang up the phone and pocket it.

I return to Rinka and the little girl.

"Hey, big bro."

"Hmm, what's it?" (Kazuto)

"Is it true that after you married big sis, you went deep into the dungeons to stop the Grand Priest from destroying the world instead of going on a honeymoon? And then defeating the Evil God by just you two?"

"......" (Kazuto)

That's the story of the game.

But for a child of less than elementary school age, everything αdults say seems to be true.

The lost girl is looking at me with a sparkling look of admiration.

Seriously, Rinka-san, what have you been infusing to her......

□

"I'm really thankful to you."

"Bye-bye."

A few minutes later, her mother came to pick her up.

The girl, being pulled by her mother, smiles and waved at us cheerfully as she leaves.

It's good to be a parent and a child, yeah.

"Children are wonderful, yes." (Rinka)

"I-I guess so." (Kazuto)

"What's wrong, Kazuto-kun? Your cheeks are tight." (Rinka)

"It's probably just your imagination." (Kazuto)

I like children, but I want a limit on the number of children.

I earnestly hope so in my heart.

"What do you want to do after this, Kazuto-kun?" (Rinka)

"What I want to do, huh. I was planning to go to a popular café or something like that." (Kazuto)

"But at this time, all the stores seem to be crowded." (Rinka)

"Yeah, I guess so......." (Kazuto)

The plan is screwed up.

I don't think it's the lost girl's fault in the slightest, but I should have thought about making a reservation at a store if this was going to happen.

However, The me who is a 'Nerd Gamer' and not even a beginner at love, of course, there's no way I can't arrange a perfect plan for us.

It can't be helped then, at a time like this, I need to rely on Guru Kurumizaka.

"Umm, Kazuto-kun. If you're fine......why don't you come to my house?" (Rinka)

"What?" (Kazuto)

"I'm sure there are some ingredients left in the fridge at home, and no one will be home until this evening....... How it sounds to you?" (Rinka)

"T-then, please." (Kazuto)

"Eeerm......." (Rinka)

Rinka seems to be nervous.

I can feel her nervousness and it makes me feel weird.

I visited her house only once before, but the situation now is different from that time.

Moreover, the conversation we just had (about the kids) is still lingering in my mind, and I'm starting to have some naughty thoughts.

This is not good.

It's healthy, but it's also not.

"...... Kazuto-kun, let's go." (Rinka)

"Y-yes." (Kazuto)

I quietly follow Rinka who holds my hand somewhat shyly.

Kurumizaka-san...... What should I do?
