Asuka of the Scarlet Sky
Chapter 73

Huh? Yuuto. What are you doing?

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. Ive got a date. Thats why Im dressing up a bit

HmmmWait, 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.

Its 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, didnt the three of us do a study meeting the other day? Thunderbolt-san seems to have wanted to participate too. Isnt she pitiful? Then, when we talked it turned out to be a date without me knowing how

Listening to Yuutos explanation, Asuka grit her molar.

If its Thunderbolt then, its that Thunderbolt. Shes a fellow hero she fought to death but thats a different story.

(E-Even I hadnt 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 hadnt 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 Yuutos extremely honest words, Asuka fell on her knees.1Certainly, 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 Im receiving shock? Its not like it matters to me who he takes on a date. Or rather, why does he not invite me to a date? Cant he just gloss it pervert-like when doing it?)

Its all Yuutos fault.2She turned a blind eye on her own carelessness and Asuka calmed down her spirit somehow.

However, Asukas still jelly. It must be nice, she stares at Yuuto but with her eyebrows frowning.

W-Well, Its not like it matters to me who you date. Really, thats not how I thinkBut, you see, Its that? If you really want to take me to a date by all means, Im going to think a bit about it or rather

Ah, Shit! Its already this late!? Ill 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 wont make Thunderbolt wait.4

In the living room where Yuuto left, Asuka looked up trembling.

Sasha who showed up pats her masters shoulder.

You were forestalled

B-Betsuni5

Sasha giggles at Asuka that bluffs happiness.

Whats that?

Capitals 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 Usamimi6ribbon Thats the usual.

Shes frilly. White and pink frills. Was it called sweet lolita?, Yuuto doesnt know the details but Thunderbolt with a girlish taste of clothes was there.

Its 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?

Its too suspicious. Yuuto would call her out if possible but he cant.

After all his partner is the the worlds strongest when it comes to perception. As a matter of course, hell be caught the moment he stepped in the plaza of the capital.

Yet, Thunderbolt looks at the clock at the plaza without noticing him.

Ah, hes late. Did something happen to Yuuto-kun?

She muttered. Yuuto sighs as his name was dropped.

He has to prepare himself as he came this far already.

Towards Thunderbolt who straightened her tension, Yuuto steeled himself and approached.

Sorry, Thunderbolt-san. Did you wait?

Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-Yuuto-kun!!!?7

Shes too surprised. Thunderbolt shook her arm towards the smiling wryly Yuuto.

Not at all! I didnt wait at all! I just came here now!!8

Thunderbolt loosens her mouth happily, Yuuto scratched his cheeks. He doesnt think that its worthy to wait but hes still glad about it.

Wasnt she here when we came here?

The conversation of the men sitting on the bench reached Yuutos ears.

Sweat flows from Yuutos forehead and Thunderbolts face dyed red.

UhmYesterday?

T-Thats not it! I was looking forward to it! I heard that you have to wait in dates!

Seeing Thunderbolt getting shaken, Yuuto cant help but laugh.

Hes glad but hes worried about yesterday after all. That means that Thunderbolt is waiting for him in this frilly dress since yesterday.

Thats no good, waiting in the middle of the night

Im sorry. B-But, I waited here selfishly, or rather

Thunderbolt shook both of her hands towards Yuutos remark. However, thats not the problem, Yuuto scolds Thunderbolt

Thats not it. Thunderbolt-san is a woman too. Arent you worried being alone in the middle of the night?

Eh?

Thunderbolt stopped moving and asked Not good?and Yuuto confirmed

He cant warn the hero with an alias that much but its not about the demons or killers that are dangerous.

Yuuto smiled wryly again at the naveCertain HitHero.

Shall we go then?

Thunderbolt blankly stares at the stretched right hand.

Having that girl as his partner, its not strange to be nervous. Thunderbolt took the right hand of Yuuto being thankful for dissolving the tension.

Thunderbolts unrest reached its limit due to the clasped palm.

Eh? Fue? Ah, afu

Thunderbolt smiles and her her face seems to have steam coming out, Yuuto gently pulled her.

Thunderbolts body was drawn into Yuuto.

Your clothes suit you

Yuuto said with a smile. It was written on the weekly magazine in Japan that he should praise her clothing first of all.

But, coming up to it, she really looks cute. Whats this combination. Its not Thunderbolt-like.

The moment she heard Yuutos words, his feelings transmit through Thunderbolts demon eyes she looked upward from too much happiness and excitement.

Yuuto had a bad feeling but its already too late.

Y-Yuuto-kunI-I lovbufuu!

Thunderbolt fainted happily while making a fountain of nosebleed in the plaza.
