Hojo Masako slowly nodded and glanced at Hangaku, that was still talking with Tomiko and Takechi before continuing, “I could be wrong, but I suspect you are even more interesting than everybody thinks, and when she knows you better, she will not leave you alone, if she likes what she finds out. She is sweet, and she always puts all her strength and heart into her relationships. At least, try not to hurt her…”
“No one ever accused me of hurting a woman. I never did such a thing, actually. I am more worried about her hurting me!”

When Sakamo opened the door, the familiar faint glow was on the other side, instead of his house corridor. He crossed the door frame and closed the door behind him. Another door appeared in front of him, and when Sakamo opened it, he exited the closet inside his rented room in the Adventurer’s Guild in Azurath. He quickly tied his long hair in his usual low ponytail while on Azurath and frowned at his room door.

After Alex closed the door of the closet in Azurath, he opened the door in the middle of the light and appeared in his room on Earth. Sakamo quickly changed clothes and made his braid on the back of his head, going down the stairs in a hurry, straight to the outside. As he was walking to the restaurant, he couldn’t stop smiling. The day was better than he expected at School, and in Azurath, seeing the crazy Mermaid getting a scare by the jealous Shinatobe, put him in an excellent mood.

Hangaku grabbed Sakamo’s hand and kissed the tip of his fingers. “I knew it… anyone would be lonely in your situation, without parents and being raised in a Shrine, surrounded by a big family of Monks. We are not so different as you may think, in that regard. I am used to being alone since I was little because my parents travel a lot or have a lot of work to do, but I never liked it. Tomiko has been my company, anytime I would feel lonely. I thought… I could be your company, and something more, if you want…” “Well… I would like your company very much. As for the rest, let’s see after we know each

When the movie finished, Takechi bid his farewells and went home, after giving a slight kiss on Tomiko’s left cheek. As the door closed behind him, Hangaku placed one arm over her friend and gently bumped her head against hers. “It’s nice to see you looking this happy. I would never expect you would fall for a guy like him, considering the boys that you are usually attracted to. It’s a nice change, after that bastard you dated last time. Takechi-sama looks too nice to mistreat you, and he seems to really care about you. Now, don’t you be a fool and let him escape, will you?”<

The morning came in Azurath, and Alex slowly opened his eyes when he felt a warmth on his chest. He looked down and saw Shinatobe smiling at him, with her right cheek on his chest and playing with his right nipple with her index finger. “Hello, sleeping beauty. I was trying to wake you up gently, but I guess you were having the most pleasant sleep.” “Yeah… Or it was because

The morning came and Tomiko’s phone woke her up. She touched the screen and looked at the time, turning the lights on and rubbing her eyes in quick succession. She looked to her side and Hangaku was not there already. “Weird. Where did she go? And where am I… Oh, right, I forgot for a moment. Better if I get dressed, we were supposed to eat breakfast with Sakamo-kun.” Tomiko went to the closet to get her clothes and school bag, and Hangaku’s stuff was not there, except for the new pyjama. She frowned as she was changing, and put her pyjama inside the closet as well while mumbling, “Maybe she wants to st

Hangaku whispered near his ear, making him blush: - “Their only problem was their vow of chastity, I bet they couldn’t teach you anything about that matter.” - “I… read some books. Tomoe-chan and our friends also helped with some stories and descriptions. I am not that innocent...” Hangaku made a slight smile: - “I wonder how much I am able to teach you in that department… Dating you will be so much fun, fall for me already, geez!” Sakamo laughed: - “Ahahah! Here it is, the Hangaku-chan we all know and love! Where did you go? I was getting worried!” Hangaku laughed with him and Takechi that was walking with Tomiko a few meters from them asked: - “Since when those two are like that? Yesterday he was asking me for help every time she approached him, at his house he let her use his lap as a pillow, and to

When the class finished, Sakamo was putting his books inside the school bag when he was pulled to his right and saw Hangaku staring at him really close. She spoke in a gentle voice: - “What about my kiss? You didn’t answer my note.” - “You… want one right now? With everyone around us?” - “No, silly! But I bet we can find a place where we can be all alone for a while. If we leave now, we can have some time just for us before the afternoon classes. What do you say? Unless… you… don’t want to kiss me…” Sakamo noticed Hangaku’s sad eyes, behind her forced smile. He gently caressed her face and said: - “I would be a fool if I didn’t want to, but aren’t we going to be in trouble if someone sees us?” - “Probably. Isn’t that excitant? The danger, not knowing if someone will surprise us! Hihihi! Come on already, I told Tomiko to go with Takechi to the cafe
