Himeragi Yukina

As Himeragi, Nagisa, and Kanon returned from the training camp peacefully, Himeragi didn't hesitate and asked Haru to go on a date with him directly.

"You're not tired?" Haru asked inexplicably.

"It's okay, Senpai. Where are we going to go?" Himeragi had been thinking about where they were going to go during their training trip, so when she came back, she couldn't help but ask him directly.

"Um, Onii-san..." Kanon knew that Haru and Himeragi were going to go out together, which made her a bit jealous.

Haru could see that his girls also wanted the same, so he said, "You don't need to worry. I'll bring you on a special trip one by one." The reason why he brought Himeragi was that he wanted to lighten the presence of the Lion King Organization on her heart since she would become his, and he didn't want this organization to cause trouble for her or him in the future, and if she was told to choose between him or the organization, she would choose him without hesitation.

Hearing his promise, everyone also felt relief and also asked him where they could go.

Haru told them that they could go whenever they wanted since he could do teleportation.

"So, where are we going to go, Senpai?" Himeragi asked in anticipation.

Haru looked at Himeragi and asked, "Do you want to go overseas or domestically?"

"Domestically!" Himeragi said without hesitation.

"Not overseas?" Haru asked.

"Well..." Himeragi might be lying if she didn't have the interest to go on a trip overseas, but she didn't know much about overseas and thought that it was better to go on a trip domestically.

"Then where do you want to go?"

"Hokkaido!"

Haru nodded and said, "Then let's go now. You should change your clothes into warmer ones and not wear your uniform." He had to admit that Himeragi was cute, but even so, he wished her to wear something other than a uniform.

"Eh? Warmer clothes?" Himeragi was a bit stunned but then remembered that Hokkaido wasn't a tropical place. "Then I'll prepare quickly!" She quickly went to her room to change her clothes.

Looking at Himeragi's back, Haru was wondering whether this girl remembered about the Schneewalzer Lance or not, but if she didn't remember it, then it was all good since his position was more important than the Schneewalzer Lance inside her heart.

According to Japanese law, girls in 16 could get married, so in one year, Himeragi could marry him.

Haru was wondering why he thought such a random thing, but it might be because he saw Himeragi's dumbfounded expression when they appeared on Sapporo in a second.

Even though Himeragi knew that Haru had a teleportation ability, it was rare for him to show this ability, and mostly, he would either use a vehicle or fly to reach his destination, which was why when they suddenly appeared on Sapporo in just a blink of an eye, she was slightly at a loss, but at the same time, she only remembered that she didn't bring her Schneewalzer Lance which made her even at a loss.

"How about we have lunch first, Yukina?" Haru asked.

"Yes, Senpai!" Hearing Haru's words, Himeragi's worry became redundant since she knew as long as she stayed with him, he wouldn't do anything bad, right?

Hokkaido is famous for its seafood.

Haru decided to have both red king crap and Hanasaki crab for their lunch. He also thought to bring some of them back for a souvenir later.

Himeragi didn't say much since she knew that Haru was good at choosing a food, or rather all the foods that he chose were so good. She also learned cooking from him, which made the food that she looked even better, so looking at the huge crab that was even bigger than her head, she was like a child, asking him what was so special about those crabs.

Haru looked at Himeragi and couldn't help but sigh when he thought that all the days on the Lion King Organization were used to train to become a Sword Shaman, but what could he say? He knew that he couldn't change Himeragi's past, but he could change her future, making her happy from now on.

After choosing the crabs, Haru and Himeragi sat down next to each other, talking to each other about various things such as the boiled crabs that released a huge amount of steam and her training camp.

"Was it fun?"

"It was so-so."

"Oh?" Haru was surprised and asked, "The training camp wasn't so fun for you?"

"I couldn't help but worry about you all the time, Senpai..." Even though Himeragi had to admit that her training camp was a new experience for her, she couldn't help but think about Haru all the time, wondering what he was doing and anticipating their trip, which was why she couldn't fully enjoy her training camp. However, she couldn't tell that since she was embarrassed!

Looking at her blushing face, Haru smiled and said, "Then on this trip, I won't let you go home until you have fun."

"Yes, Senpai!" Affected by his smile, Himeragi also showed a cute smile at this moment.

When the crabs were ready, they ate the crabs together while teasing each other, taking a photo together, and bought some of the crabs for everyone back at home.

After their lunch, they went to visit various sightseeing spots in Sapporo.

Haru was wondering where Himeragi wanted to go, but he didn't expect that this girl wanted to visit a shrine. "Why do you want to go to the shrine?"

"It has been a while since I last visited a shrine." Himeragi looked at Haru and said, "There isn't a shrine on the Itogami island, right?"

"Now that you mention it."

After all, even though Itogami island might be part of Japan, most people believed in different religions, and there might be a shrine, but it was quite small.

Haru didn't mind, so after hearing Himeragi's request, he brought her to the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, which is the famous shrine in Sapporo.

"Next time, let's come here in April with everyone. I'm sure the scene where all the cherry blossoms will be so beautiful," Haru said.

"Yes!" Himeragi nodded without hesitation. The autumn in Hokkaido Jingu Shrine might not be bad, but the spring would be even more beautiful, she thought. While looking at the scenery, she saw someone who had gotten married at the shrine. "Senpai, someone has gotten married there."

"Isn't that a normal thing?" Haru looked at Himeragi with a strange expression since wasn't it normal for someone to get married at the shrine or church?

But...

"Do you want to see it?"

"Um." Himeragi nodded without hesitation since she was a bit curious.

Then both of them walked nearby to see the marriage ceremony, and Himeragi could see how happy the woman was, which made her feel a bit jealous. She then glanced at Haru, who was watching this scene together and wondering whether she could be with him in the future. After all, she was a member of the Lion King Organization, and she followed their orders. If she was gone, then what would happen to him? Was he okay? Or was he going to forget about her? Her head was filled with various thoughts until her hand was held by Haru gently.

Himeragi was surprised then looked at Haru. "Senpai?"

"Do you want to visit other places?" Haru asked since he felt that it was dangerous to stay at the marriage ceremony since he didn't want the bride to run away so she could be with him. He knew that his charm was dangerous, and he didn't want to destroy someone's marriage after all.

"Yes." Himeragi nodded and held his hand tightly. He didn't want to lose this warmth.

Haru looked at Himeragi for a moment and didn't say anything before they continued their trip around Sapporo, visiting various places and buying various souvenirs.

As the night approached, they went to Mt. Moiwa by a ropeway to see the famous Sapporo night view.

"It's so beautiful..." On the top of Mt. Moiwa, Himeragi couldn't take her eyes, watching the scenery of Sapporo at night.

"I have heard that this is one of the three most beautiful night views in Japan."

"Really?" Himeragi's beautiful eyes blinked, looking at Haru curiously.

"Yes, it is so beautiful that people often call it "Carpet of Light.""

Himeragi looked at the scenery again and nodded. "I can see why a lot of people call that." She looked at Haru again and wanted to hold his hand again.

"Still, it's a bit cold here." Haru pretended that it was quite cold.

"Well, that's true." Himeragi nodded and also felt a bit cold when Haru mentioned the temperature.

"So let's do this. I think it can make us warmer." Haru then hugged Himeragi from behind gently and asked, "I think it feels warmer now."

"Sen - Senpai!" Himeragi's face flushed since she was hugged so suddenly.

"Should I stop?"

"No - No..." Himeragi murmured in a low voice and had to admit that Haru was quite unfair, so, in the end, she tried to search for the most comfortable position as she leaned on his chest. It was just hugging, but she felt so happy, and at the same time, she hoped the time would stop.

"It's so beautiful..." Himeragi said once again.

"It's beautiful, but it isn't as beautiful as you, Yukina," Haru said softly.

Himeragi blushed and hit Haru's chest lightly.

"What are you getting embarrassed for?"

"Mooo, Senpai!!!"

Himeragi pouted, but then she couldn't help but recall the thought that she had before, which made her couldn't help but ask, "Senpai, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"If I were to go away, what would you do?"

Himeragi wanted to stay with him forever, but was it possible? Filled with anxiety, she stared into his eyes, waiting for his answer.

Haru looked at Himeragi and asked, "Do you want to go away from me?"

"No!!" Himeragi said without hesitation since she didn't want to go away from him, and she wanted to be with him forever.

"Then there's no need to think about that kind of thing." Haru hugged Himeragi tighter and said, "From now on, stay by my side. If you get lost, then I'll guide you. If I get lost, then you'll remind me. Isn't that your job as my observer?"

"........"

Himeragi's eyes were red, and she hugged him tightly. "Senpai..." Hearing his words, she felt that all her worries had disappeared, and all she just wanted right now was just to stay like this, but there was something that she needed to ask. "Senpai."

"Hmm?"

"If the Lion King Organization calls me back, what'll you do?" Himeragi asked.

"Do you want to go back?" Haru asked.

"I..." If it was before then, Himeragi would nod without hesitation. After all, the Lion King Organization was the one who had picked her up and also took care of her. Even though she knew that she would become a Sword Shaman and fight against various things for this organization and country, she felt that it was normal, considering she owned a lot of things to this organization, but right now, she just wanted to be selfish.

Himeragi didn't want to become the Sword Shaman and didn't want to go back to the organization. She just wanted to be with him, stay with him, and build a family with him. "I don't want to go, Senpai. I want to stay with you."

"Then stay. I won't let anyone take you away," Haru said.

"Um." Himeragi nodded with a smile, but she couldn't help but look at his lips. She was wondering how it felt to kiss someone, but she felt a bit embarrassed, so she quickly turned and lowered her head slightly so Haru wouldn't see her blush.

"Say."

"Hmm?"

"Do you want another memory?"

"What memory?" Himeragi looked at Haru curiously.

"I think you have a good idea of what kind of memory I'd talked about," Haru said with a smile.

"Sen - Senpai!" Himeragi blushed.

"Yukina-chan is a pervert."

"SENPAI!!!!"

"Well, our relationship might change from the observer and the one that is observed to something else. Is that alright with you?"

Himeragi looked at Haru shyly and nodded. "Um."

"Then..."

"Then...?"

"Do you need to ask?"

"No, I understand that Senpai is a lewd guy after all."

"It's too late to realize that, right?"

"Yes, it is too late."

There was no need to say anything, and they closed their distance to have their first kiss.

'Senpai...'

Hugging his neck tightly, Himeragi knew that at that moment, she was going to become his observer forever.
