Extending his black-and-white vision, Kai was able to realize almost immediately what was happening. Around 20 young people, aged between 20 and 25, were sneaking around in the distance while at least a dozen others approached at full speed to stop them.
"I offer my deepest apologies, Saito-sama. I assure you this is not a common occurrence; it's just that lately, there has been a lot of political activity due to the elections, and some groups are taking advantage to cause chaos."
Visibly embarrassed, German bowed at a 90-degree angle and apologized sincerely, a gesture mirrored by his wife. Meanwhile, Kai and Tomoko observed as the other people around looked confused or frightened, beginning to leave the area in a hurry, surrounded by bodyguards.
"Judging by everyone else's reactions, I can see you're right." Kai commented in a calm tone, glancing at German again. The man quickly straightened up and spoke with a serious tone.
"I hope you don't get a bad impression of our country, Saito-sama. These are just minority groups; they don't represent us at all."
"I understand. Even in Japan, one of the safest countries, things like this happen from time to time." Kai replied calmly. He then stood up, extending a hand to Tomoko and adding.
"But I suppose dinner is canceled."
"I beg your forgiveness, Saito-sama." German said, bowing again with a hint of hope in his voice. "If it's alright with you, we can go to another place. I assure you something like this won't happen again."
"No need. Let's head to our residence instead." Kai replied as Tomoko stood up after taking his hand. A bitter smile couldn't help but form on the faces of Melissa and German, who quickly nodded.
"I understand, Saito-sama. We'll depart immediately."
After an awkward farewell, Kai and Tomoko climbed back into the black sedan, driving away closely escorted by four other vehicles. Once the convoy was far enough, German walked toward another car with his wife, ordering a bodyguard who followed closely in an incredibly dark tone.
"Make sure to capture a few of them. I want to know exactly who the 'comedian' was that just made me lose the best opportunity to ingratiate myself with one of the wealthiest men in the world."
"Understood." The man replied seriously, bringing a hand to his ear to start giving orders. At that moment, Melissa took out her phone and commented in an almost murderous tone.
"I'm calling Dad. These fools went too far this time."
"I'll make some calls too. These guys are looking for death, and I'll be happy to help them out." German said, looking at his wife and nodding with a furious expression. Melissa quickly initiated the call.

After a quiet journey, Kai finally found himself in front of a massive mansion with a facade adorned with stone sculptures that harmonized perfectly with bushes delicately trimmed into the shapes of various animals. Seeing the place, Tomoko, who was hugging Kai around the neck from behind while swinging her legs in the air, commented with visible surprise.
"This mansion looks more luxurious than ours!"
"And it only cost about 5 million dollars... It's pretty 'cheap' to live a good life here..." Kai couldn't help but comment, somewhat amused, as he walked toward the interior of the mansion.
Upon entering, Kai found himself in a spacious, well-lit area where three people awaited them—apparently a butler and two maids dressed in elegant black uniforms. After a slight, respectful bow, the butler spoke in Japanese, though far less fluently than German and his wife.
"Welcome, sir. Would you like us to assist you with anything?"
"No need, you may leave."
Kai said in a calm tone as Tomoko slid off his back. The man nodded and soon left the mansion along with the two maids. After all, Kai had requested that only cleaning staff be present on specific days and hours to maintain their privacy.
"Shall we go to bed...?"
The moment the others left the mansion, Tomoko pressed her large breasts against Kai's chest and asked in an almost purring voice. Kai embraced his beautiful girlfriend and, after a kiss, commented with a small smile.
"Actually, there are three options. We can go to the bedroom, we can have our date, or we can go check on the earlier explosion."
Hearing Kai, Tomoko couldn't help but look at him with a hint of surprise, realizing her beloved had noticed her unease, which she had tried to keep hidden. After all, she knew Kai, and while he was perfect for her in almost every situation, he wasn't particularly inclined toward 'heroism,' so she didn't want to burden him. Thus, she had convinced herself that she wasn't a legal hero in this place and shouldn't interfere with the work of the local heroes.
"So, what do you choose?" Kai asked again with a calm expression, prompting Tomoko to reply after a few seconds of thought.
"Let's just check if there are any injured. If not, then we can go on our date!"
"Then let's go." Kai replied cheerfully, lifting Tomoko like a princess and activating Shadow Cloak, causing a shroud to cover them completely.
One thing Kai had discovered about Shadow Cloak was that if someone was directly touching him when he activated it, that person wouldn't trigger the 'avoid suspicion of someone being invisible' pact. However, if they stopped touching at any point, the cloak would deactivate automatically.
After leaping into the air from the estate's garden, Kai shot toward the 'club' where he had been earlier, arriving after a few minutes. Hovering about 20 meters above the ground, kicking the air every so often, Kai extended his Observation Haki with curiosity, while Tomoko activated her quirk, [Search].
"...No serious injuries! Though it seems some managed to escape, and they're being hunted down!" After a few moments, Tomoko commented in a low but more relaxed voice. Kai nodded as he looked at the group of people gathering below.
In addition to people wearing security uniforms, there were what seemed to be four heroes accompanied by several police officers who arrived in pairs on motorcycles and who were actively using their quirks, unlike what I was used to. Moreover, from what I could see, security had actively avoided killing, and the perpetrators' injuries were not fatal—something that clashed with the "bloodthirsty" image I had of the place.
[Sage, investigate a bit. I find this quite curious.] Amid his thoughts, Kai ordered the beautiful fairy sitting on his shoulder through their mental connection. Sage quickly nodded and replied with a calm smile.
[I'm curious too and had already created a low-priority project, Master. I'll raise its priority slightly.]
[You're the best.]
Kai replied with a satisfied smile, which widened Sage's grin. At the same time, Kai slightly tightened his grip on Tomoko's side in his arms and asked with a smile.
"What do you think? Shall we go on our date?"
"Let's go!"
Tomoko replied excitedly, clinging to Kai's neck as he tightened his hold on his beautiful girlfriend before kicking the air and shooting off in another direction. Since the black cloak covering them didn't obstruct their vision, Tomoko gazed at the city from the air, surrounded by mountains—a striking view for her, as it wasn't something easily seen in Japan.
After some time, Tomoko saw Kai land on a mountain ledge where there was a kind of illuminated 'egg' with two beach chairs on a wooden platform. Soon, Tomoko was able to stand on her own feet and looked around, seeing the vast city on one side and endless mountains on the other, with the faint glow of stars above.
"Though there were other places, when I saw this view in photos, I knew this spot would be the best for you. So, I hired a local company to set this up." Kai commented as he guided Tomoko to one of the chairs, helping her settle in while a glass of wine floated from inside the egg-shaped tent toward him.
"Kai... I love you."
Upon receiving the glass of wine, Tomoko gazed at her beloved for a few seconds, almost mesmerized, before declaring her love with utter certainty and conviction. Kai gave her a tender kiss on the lips, then looked into her eyes and said with a confident smile.
"I love you more."
Tomoko let the glass slip from her hand and threw herself to hug Kai's neck, initiating a passionate kiss with her beloved. After several minutes, Tomoko pulled away from Kai to catch her breath, then looked at him and asked in a purring voice.
"Kai... Your cloak makes us invisible, right...?"
"Yes, but if we move too much, it might slip and deactivate. And at this height, it's hard to ensure no one can see us from afar." Kai explained, imagining what Tomoko wanted. She took his hand and spoke in a slightly breathless voice.
"I don't want us to move..."
After speaking, Tomoko guided Kai inside the tent, and, once she ensured it was closed, embraced her beloved and explained in a purring voice.
"Kai... I want to feel you under the stars and watch the sunrise together... the first sunrise as your woman. I want to spend it in your arms, wrapped in your warmth..."
"You want us to stay naked under Shadow Cloak until sunrise?" Kai asked, a bit surprised, to which Tomoko nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks. Kai extended his Observation Haki over the area while commenting in a thoughtful tone.
"It's not impossible... But if we get 'excited' and start moving, we might expose ourselves."
"If that happens, we can go inside or back to the mansion... But I really want to see the sunrise in your arms..." Tomoko said softly as she nuzzled her head against Kai's chest. He could only smile and reply as he began to remove his shirt.
"I can't say no to my Tomoko. Let's do it."
"I love you!!" Tomoko replied excitedly, quickly starting to take off her clothes. Once completely naked, she embraced her equally bare beloved, closing her eyes as if wanting to melt into him.
"[Shadow Cloak] On!"
At that moment, Tomoko heard Kai's voice and felt him lift her like a princess while a kind of veil covered her. Soon after, Kai sat on one of the beach chairs, holding Tomoko in his lap. She guided his hands to her chest and pressed them tightly, then started a quiet conversation while they gazed at the moon.
Amid their calm chat, time passed as Tomoko felt increasingly relaxed and happy. Feeling Kai's warmth surrounding her was truly the best sensation she could ever experience—so much so that, although she was aroused and wet from feeling her beloved's body and his half-hard 'dragon' against her, she chose to stop thinking about it and focus only on his warmth and love.
But as sunrise approached, Tomoko began to feel an emptiness inside her, that the perfect sunrise couldn't happen without every part of her feeling her beloved claiming her as his. With a plan in mind, Tomoko waited until just before dawn, then gently stimulated her beloved and subtly moved so he penetrated her.
Finally feeling at peace and complete, Tomoko tightened her grip even more around Kai's arms, then fell silent and looked with a small smile as the first rays of sunlight emerged on the horizon. Feeling the sunlight 'baptize' her as Kai's woman, as if it were her own private wedding ceremony, just for her and the love of her life.

"Fufu, looks like you had a lot of fun."
Standing in her hero costume in the garden, Nemuri commented with a small smile while looking through the fading light of Accompany at Tomoko clinging to Kai with a completely melted smile on her face. Without giving Kai a chance to speak, Tomoko looked at Nemuri and said with a huge grin.
"It was the best trip ever!" Immediately after speaking, Tomoko gave Kai a quick kiss on the lips before running toward the mansion, shouting full of energy.
"I'm going to change; be right back!!"
As Tomoko ran inside, Shino and Ryuko looked at her with warm smiles on their lips, while Momo approached Kai and gave him a deep kiss, taking advantage of Keiko not having come down yet. After the kiss, Momo looked into Kai's eyes and said with a small smile.
"Go change. We're running late for class."
