Since morning is now awake and the sun is going up to shine, Jomin head to the kitchen to make breakfast.
His usual solo meal would be doubled since he had an unexpected guest in his house. Though he likes the company of the maiden and was not bothered about it. He was kinda happy about it not knowingly.
"Why don't you wait in the living room? I'm going to make us breakfast." He said to Wanbu.
She nodded and went to the living room to wait.
When the breakfast was ready and served, he called for her and they ate together.
'In my life, I haven't shared meals with a girl in my own home. Not just a girl but a lady' he thought making a quick look at her and blushing.
The atmosphere seemed a little quiet and down. So he started a conversation to lighten up the mood a bit.
"H-how old are you?" He said trying to start a topic.
She answered in a sign language no. 18, then made a face to ask the same thing to him.
"Ah, I'm 21!"
After their meals, he did the plates and washed them. She wanted to help him but he refused. Instead, he told her just to stay in the living room and make herself comfortable.
After the kitchen, he went upstairs to take a bath and get ready for his work. When he was done he went down to get going.
"I'm going to go now for work. You know this is what we humans do normally in life so, yeah... I'll better get going and I don't want to be late." He said.
'He is going now for work?' She thought feeling a little worried.
"So, I'll be trusting my house to you, okay?" He said while pointing and narrowing his eyes at the maiden. "Okay"
Before he could completely go, she then grabbed his arm and used telepathy.
'Please! Don't leave me in here!' She said while hugging his arm tightly that she didn't notice it.
"Huh!?" He was surprised by her actions that he blushed and the voice that echoed in his mind made him pause for a few seconds.
"What you want to tag along?" He said when her voice echoed again in his mind.
"... ..."
"Okay! Fine then, you can come with me. Just don't do anything crazy or stupid things, okay? Now let go-of-my-arm!" He replied.
She let go of his arm then put her hands upward and came out to the door first, very happy.
"I can't believe she hugged my arm! Damn, I could almost feel those chunks from her! Ugh! Sh★t! Stop your mind Jomin!" He said, blushing all over his face but he didn't let her see his funny face.
◆◇◆
"Sigh..." Jomin sighed while watching Wanbu with a duck face. He didn't use the car since the building where he worked is just nearby.
She was dazzled looking all over the place. Her eyes sparkled at a candy shop that they are about to pass by. She pointed out the candies while looking at him. It's like saying 'I want one!'.
"No! Nonononow!" He said making a quick refusal. It was so weird that he felt like babysitting a 5-year-old kid!
She grabbed his arm again and tugged him trying to pull him nearer to the shop but he didn't let her do as she pleased. Instead, he pulled his arm together with her, away from the shop, and continued walking.
"Didn't I tell you before? Don't do crazy or stupid things. I should've left you to stay at home!" He said while pulling his arm back.
'Oh come on!' she said in telepathy grabbing his arm again. Then displayed her eyes batting it while looking at him.
"!!" When he saw it, he was so surprised. 'Sh★t!' he thought and blushed because she was so cute and then turned away his head because he almost seem to burst.
He never thought that such a stranger casually do this to him. That was very unusual.
"Now, now don't make that funny face of yours! And... would you let go of my hand?" He said pretending that he isn't affected by her charms and pulled his arm back again.
She cutely pouted and felt a little disappointed. And she just looked at the shop that they just passed by, feeling sad. This innocent being never thought of anything but the candy.
They looked like a couple, somehow.
◇◆◇
By the ally, between the candy shop and a building, a hooded woman with yellowish eyes sat on a wooden box by an alley. She was about to take her meal when her eyes turned crystal blue.
"She's here!" She said, feeling the presence of someone whom she was searching for.
"Splash" came the puddle that she stepped on at the moment when she ran and headed her way near a sidewalk.
She looked from left to right while hiding herself in an alley.
She finally found her but with someone around.
"Who the heck is this guy? Careless as ever!" She said while making herself back to the alley.
Wanbu sensed someone from a few distances. She paused for a moment and looked back, but she can only see normal people who had just passed by.
"Could it be?" She thought. She had a feeling that maybe it's her guardian.
"Hey, we are not in some kinda sightseeing or touring!" He said when he noticed that she was not by her side, then grabbed her to start walking already.
"Let's hurry up! I'm going to be late because of you. And let's stick together because they are so many people around now if you don't want to get lost. You want to come along after all so behave yourself"
◆◇◆
Finally arrived of where he worked. The building was so tall that it made Wanbu look up.
He is one of the workers of this building and his office is up the floor somewhere in this building.
"You can sit on one of the benches around here, over there," he said while pointing out on a bench for her. He pointed to the bench with a shady tree behind.
Wanbu nodded and headed for it and sat.
"Okay, you just wait until I'm done with work, okay?" Before she could even reply with telepathy, without hesitation he zoomed inside the building.
Wanbu looked around. She spaced out for a moment but then she remembered the presence of her guardian back there.
She wondered if it's really her. She was sure of it. Why didn't she show up then? Maybe it's because of that man. She didn't know so she will just probably wait.
But he is not here now, where is she?
