Chapter 40

''Finally, my precious cup!'' I exclaimed as I hold The moon and The knights merchandise cup. After all those stupid challenges I need to complete just to get this cup, those hard times were worth it.

''Hey, Miyu-san, what about me? I also want the cup.'' Touma looks at me with a cute puppy frown.

''You can keep these pictures. But this cup is mine. Bleh!'' I stick out my tongue after hand him these pictures we take to complete the challenge just now.

*Sigh~*,

''Lady first, huh? Anyways these pictures are quite pretty, are you sure you don't want any?'' Touma gives out a tiny smile as sighed a bit.

''Nope, that won't be necessary since I already got this cup. And by the way, could we change this token right now because I'm getting tired after having all those fun time.'' I search for the token that I collected in my grey bag.

''Sure.'' Touma replied me.

"Stay close with me and don't get lost, okay?" He then gently grabs my wrist and lead me to the small counter next to the entrance. My heart began to beats against my chest rapidly and I can feel my face started to flush.

'Was this feeling called falling for someone just like the monk says? Can I finally feel the feeling of love?' I clutch my chest that's feeling tight.

***

''Hello, miss. What kind of prize you wish to exchange?'' The staff lady that's in charge of the counter politely asked me.

''I want The Moon and The Knights sweater, please?'' I pointed at the picture shown on the counter. It only cost for 12 tokens.

''I am sorry, miss, but we are running out of this stock. Would you wish for another sweater of this type of merchandise? It was a couples sweater and will only cost you 25 token. It will look perfect on the both of you.'' She excitedly shows us the couples sweater.

''Eh?! We are not what you think-'' I shuttered but Touma cuts in.

''We will take that, my 'girl' is just to shy for today's 'date', right Mi-chan?'' Touma winked at me with his beautiful purple eyes. Then, he adds another 13 tokens that he wins and exchanges the tokens for the sweater.

''Wha-WHAT?!!''

''Understandable, here is your sweater and have a good day.'' She hands Touma the neatly packed sweater.

''Come on, don't be daze my, 'girlfriend'."Touma smirked.

'Damn, karma sure does get you back but I never thought it will happen this quick...' I give my forehead a nice slap as a reminder not to repeat the same mistake again.

''Big sis... help me, please...'' Suddenly I feel that someone just hugged my leg tightly.

Looking down at my leg, I was surprised that it was a little girl who was hugging me. That girl looks like 5 years old and she was shivering in fear.

Touma the notice the girl and he kneels on his one knee. He patted her head to comfort her.

''Are you lost, princess?'' He asked gently.

''I can't see ....my mommy anywhere a-and there's a wolf.... just like mommy describes.... a-and he was trying to take me away. My mommy said to find help if I ever meet.... the big bad wolf in human skin.'' She tells Touma as her voice began to shake as well.

''Hey, come here Akari-chan. What are you doing with that sister and brother?'' A man who is in his 30's, try to hold her tiny hand.

I step forward and protect her with my body. Giving him my cold glare, I asked him with a calm yet dominating voice.

''Who are you and what are you trying to do with my sister?'' I stay firm on my ground while giving him a cold glare beacause.....

I hate this kind of people the most.

''She is my...my brother's umm....daughter. I-I am here to take her to her mother.'' He began to shuttered.

''So it means you are my 'uncle' then, but why can't I recognize you?'' I questioned him. Then I gently push the little girl next to Touma.

''I-I...'' He gets a bit panicked and tries to run away.

''Does the cat caught your tongue, my beloved 'uncle'?'' I approached him.

''Or maybe we should go to the police stations since the police are good at recognizing people like...YOU...'' I patted his back as I whisper next to him. Instantly, his face gone pale and he quickly runs away from that place.

''Big sis is so cool! I want to be like big sis too, brother prince.'' The little girl said to Touma and her eyes sparkles up as she looks at me.

''Do you know your mother's number?'' I asked her. She shakes her head.

''Miyu-san, I guess we should take her to the help centre for help.'' Touma patted her head and carry her on his arm.

''Yea, sure. Let's go.'' I smiled.

***

''Oh my goodness! Midori-chan, here you are! You have to make mommy worry sick about you.'' A 40's aged women come rushing from the door.

''Mommy! Big sis was so cool and there a prince too. They help Midori to come here and wait for mommy.'' She went to hug her and pointed at us.

''Thank you miss for taking a good care of my child, I have no idea how to repay your kindness.'' She bowed towards us.

''It's okay, Mrs.Then we will get going then.'' I look at Touma.

''Thanks a lot miss.'' She once again thanked us.

''No problem.'' I wave goodbye and leaves with Touma.

The sun began to set after the clock show it was 6:30 late in the evening.

'Time sure flies when we are having a good time.' I look outside the window and notice the sky turns darker as the time ticks by.

Later, we meet with Yuuto and Yua who bought quite a lot of chocolate chips with some mould.

''Do we need all this stuff just to make chocolate, Yuuto-kun?'' I looked at the bag full of things.

''Yup we need all these to make the perfect chocolate. And you seem to have a lot of fun with Touma I sees...'' Yuuto frown a bit.

''Are you jealous, Yuuto-kun?'' Touma teased him.

''The fck I am supposed to be jealous about! Come on we need to ride the train or else we will be late.'' Yuuto's face burns up a bit. I just chuckled a bit as he is acting like a tsundere at that moment.

Together we ride the train and went back home in that late evening. Yuuto told us to come to his house tomorrow so that we can make the chocolate together.

After having Yuuto to walk me home, I took a quick shower after getting sweaty for the whole day.

''Gosh, what a tiring day, hopefully, I still could have some energy for tonight's activities.'' I stretched my arm.

''It's showtime....''
