Yugito dawdled at home for quite a while.
When she saw Aoba already waiting at the door, she quickened her pace and came over.
But when she saw he was still wearing the same clothes, she frowned.
"Aren't you going to change?"
Aoba blinked, "I was worried you'd be anxious."
He had indeed planned to shower and change, but after making amends to Kin, there was no time to bathe.
Yugito suddenly leaned in and sniffed.
Besides the scent from Konan, there was also that of Kin, and she immediately frowned.
Her original nervous anticipation was instantly replaced by a different mood.
"What did you and Kin do at home just now?"
"Just gave her a little compensation," Aoba answered honestly.
"Hurry and go wash and brush your teeth. I don't want to go on a date smelling like other girls."
Without argument, Yugito pushed Aoba back into the room with a cold face.
Only after he had showered and put on fresh clothes, and the smells were all gone, did her expression soften.
She crossed her arms and said in a tsundere tone.
"You promised you'd listen to me on dates, right?"
"Mm," Aoba nodded.
He was not someone who broke his word.
"In that case, I have two demands now," Yugito held up two fingers and made a little V sign.
"First, from now on you must stay by my side at all times and have no intimate contact with other girls."
"Second, you must not mention any other girl's name, understand?"
"Understood! From now on, all my actions will follow Lady Yugito's orders!", Aoba also seriously made an OK sign.
Yugito's face flushed slightly as she issued her first command, "Then… let me check if your mouth still smells like other people."
Then, in tacit agreement, one tilted their head up and the other down, and they kissed.
After a long while, Yugito was somewhat out of breath and pushed him away.
Wiping her mouth, she pretended to be earnest.
"Good, looks like you brushed very clean."
"Is there any reward?", Aoba looked into her eyes.
Yugito's cheeks were rosy. She quietly turned her head slightly away, but her hand reached out.
"Then your reward is you can hold my hand on the date later."
"Thank you so much, Lady Yugito."
Aoba smiled and took her soft hand.
"Stop calling me 'Lady.' It's embarrassing," Yugito scolded.
"Really? Then what do you want me to call you? Yugito-nee?", Aoba teased.
To his surprise, Yugito nodded, "That's not bad."
"All right then, Yugito-nee, where do you want to go first on our date today?", Aoba led Yugito out of the house holding her hand.
"Let's see a movie first. A new one just came out. I heard it's pretty interesting," Yugito had prepared.
"You mean the adaptation of Icha Icha Paradise? Last time I… uh!"
Feeling Yugito's hand tightening, Aoba recalled the rules they'd just agreed on.
"That should be good. Yugito-nee, you'll probably like it."
Although adapted from an adult novel into an all-ages film, it was actually quite good.
Putting aside the unsuitable parts, the original was a fine romance novel.
"Hmph!"
When Aoba stopped himself in time, the fire in Yugito's eyes finally died down.
"Don't spoil anything. Act like it's your first time watching and show the reactions."
"All right!"
Their date began with a movie.
Aoba had thought Yugito might seize the chance to prank him, but the date went surprisingly normal.
No strange plays. They acted like a normal couple.
They immersed themselves in the cinema, the amusement park, the mall.
They didn't run into Ten-Ten and the others; in his perception, a few small ones had gathered together.
Probably having a sisters' gathering or something.
Yugito's most excessive demand was that he carry her on his back for a stretch.
Her smile never left her face.
Only at dinner did she begin to seem absentminded.
"Shall we go out like this again next time?"
Aoba thought she was distracted because the date was about to end.
Yugito snapped back, her eyes brightened, and she said,
"After dinner, let's take a walk?"
"Okay."
They finished dinner properly and then walked hand in hand.
Around eight o'clock, they returned home together, but not to Aoba's place; they went to Yugito's house.
Aoba felt puzzled because Yugito had acted oddly since entering the entryway.
She hurriedly changed shoes, left a "don't leave" behind, and dashed straight to the bathroom.
Aoba was helpless.
After all, he had promised to follow her wishes for the day.
Yugito went into the bathroom, and Aoba had nothing to do.
To be honest, he hardly ever came to Yugito's place. Coming occasionally felt novel.
He leaned on the sofa and turned on the TV. Then he suddenly noticed what looked like a book wedged in the gap of the couch.
'Yugito reads books?'
Aoba was surprised and picked it out to glance.
With the bathroom water rushing, he opened the book.
[*** flowed down from the corner of her mouth…]
"?", After a quick look, Aoba closed the book again.
His expression was rather surprised.
Yugito apparently didn't hide the adult book; she left it on the sofa. If someone else found it, it would be instant social death.
He could even imagine Yugito's reaction upon discovering he had seen it; she would probably drag him down with her.
Aoba even used an eye technique to roll the book back to an unopened state, then silently sat a bit farther away and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, Yugito did not know her little side dish had been unintentionally discovered by Aoba.
After changing into her most satisfying outfit in front of the mirror, she stepped out of the bathroom.
He heard the bathroom door lock click. Aoba continued to pretend to sleep.
"Don't sleep. Go wash too."
Yugito came over and poked his face. Seeing him like this eased much of her nervousness.
Not much different from usual.
"Okay!"
Aoba did not refuse. He stood up from the sofa and then stared, a little stunned.
This was the first time he had seen Yugito fresh out of the bath.
