The Luminous Moon over the Rain

Hovering over Tengu City was ship of made from human innovation, called Fraxinus. A ship occupied by the personnels of Ratatatoskr, overlooking at the blooming bond between a spirit and a human.

Pop

Taking out the candy within her mouth, Kotori drawled out.

" Ehhhh, must be nice having a competent spirit sealer. "

Reine sighed and corrected. " Correction, a competent date. "

Shiori furrowed her brows at them. " SHUT IT! IF I WERE A BOY WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROGRESS! "

" Hmmmm... I don't think so. Going for much younger girls requires a much more gentler approach. In hindsight, you should be able to reach the same or even have a higher progress as a girl..." Mikimoto known as Boss drawled out.

" Although, the lack of experience will hinder you. " The Boss added.

Shiori looked at him, baffled. " I guess you're speaking from experience... "

Kotori watched the screen that showed an image of a father and daughter, and pondered. " Are you saying that he has quite the experience in going out with younger girls? "

Reine then added, after looking at the parameters. " Although, looking closely at how he acts... He looks more fatherly. "

" Hmmmm, now I see it. He does look more fatherly. " Kotori nodded after looking at the live feed. She smirked at Shiori. " Stand proud, you have a chance. "

Step Step Step

Geto held Yoshino's hand, walking side by side.

As they walk within each other vicinity, Yoshino kept looking around until her eyes lingered on something that caught her eye.

Her eyes lingered on, on one of the stalls.

Geto perked up at her lingering eyes, and halted his walk. Prompting to Yoshino to look up at him.

Their eyes met.

Geto chuckled. " You know, you could've just ask. "

She averted her eyes after being caught, as her ears heated up.

Geto's smile remained, waiting for her response.

" Oye oye, Geto-jii-san, you didn't have to call out my cute little Yoshino like that, no matter how cute she is when she's shy. " Yoshinon, states.

He chuckled again, and pats her head. " Haha, don't be shy, don't be shy, say what do you want and I'll get it for you. You can't really expect me to be a psychic y'know. "

After comforting her, he continued. " How about this, let's ask Yoshinon on what she wants. "

Geto looked inquisitively at Yoshinon. " What would you want to have, Yoshinon? "

" I want, what Yoshino wants. " Answered Yoshinon. Making Geto chuckle.

He looked back at Yoshino with a smile. " You try. What would you want to have, Yoshino? "

An audible gulp was heard before a meekly voice sounded. " I-i, w-want that... please. "

" See? How easy it was? " He pats her head again.

Step Step Step

As Geto walked, he held her hand gently. Allowing her a leeway if she ever wants to stop. Yet, she didn't let go but held tighter than ever.

Geto looked back at her, and smiled. " I won't disappear. Don't worry. "

Yoshinon pats her head, and looks at Geto.

" Hm hm, you really know how to take care of a kid, huh. Do you have some personal experience in taking care of one? "

" Perhaps in my past life. " Geto, chuckled.

Yoshinon sighs, her ears drooping down. " Hoh, seriously, what's with you speaking like someone mysterious. You should do this with girls of your age. Not a minor. "

Geto snorted at her. " Probably. "

He paused before continuing. " I have no interest in romance. Frankly, I dread it. "

" Hoh, are you speaking from experience because you got rejected by one girl? " Yoshinon, teased.

Geto pondered, before answering. " Perhaps. "

Step Step Step

Standing infront of the stall, Geto asked. " How many do you want, Yoshino? "

Looking up, Yoshino raised four fingers, prompting him to smile at her.

" Eight Takoyaki, please. " Geto ordered at the counter, along with the payment.

As the cook prepares his order, Geto looked at the two and asked.

" How about for drinks? "

" Milk. " Yoshinon, replied flatly.

Geto irked his brow. " Why is that? "

" So Yoshino could go BIG and STRONG. " Yoshinon replied, enthusiastically as Yoshino shyly looks down.

" Right.. " Geto drawled.

Clack

After his order was placed on the counter, he took it from the handle of the plastic bag and walked away with Yoshino and Yoshinon.

Step Step Step

They took their lonesome steps, Geto asked. "Is this your first time?"

Walking alongside him, she perked up from her lingering gazes everywhere. " N-no... "

Yoshinon continued for her. " It's just the first time that someone would accompany her, other than me. "

Instead of going in for a more personal question, he just patted her head with his free hand, and smiled.

Step Step Step

Amidst their journey, Yoshino's eyes lingered again at another establishment. Geto followed her gaze, and spotted a store full of crane games.

Yoshino looked back at him, and he started back with a smile.

He nodded at her, and encourage.

Gathering her courage again, she meekly asked. " C-can we go there, G-geto-jii-san. "

Looking at the lone Yoshinon, he asked at her.

" Is it for Yoshinon? "

With a meek voice, she answered. " Y-yes. "

To her confirmation, Yoshinon sweetly replied. " Awwww, you don't have to do that Yoshinon~ " Patting her head.

With courage, she answered. " B-but, Yoshinon, I want to repay your kindness for all this time... "

Yoshinon patted her head again.

" Fine, fine. If it makes you happy. "

Step Step Step

Swish

The door opened automatically as they step in front of the door.

Upon entering the establishment, Geto exchange some of his money into coins.

Yoshino perked up at one of the crane machine, and looked back at Geto.

He nods.

She shyly walked to the one that perked her interest with Geto right behind her.

As she stood at the stuff toys that peaked her interest, she looked back at Geto. He replied with a smile.

She entered the first coin. Yet, she looked cluelessly at the lights, and looked back at him.

With a chuckle he asked. " Need a hand? "

She nodded.

Step Step Step

He stood right begin her, and knelt down to her height.

He gently guided her hand to the controls and carefully explained it to her.

Nearing her ear, he asked in a low tone after guiding the joystick at one of the stuffed-toy. "Is this it? "

She shook her head, before answering. " It's the one that looks like Yoshinon. "

" The one with blue ears? " He asked.

" Yes. " She confirmed.

Guiding her lone free hand, he irked her to press the button.

Puff

The sound of the toy hitting the prize door sounded.

She looked back at him, he smiled and guided her to the prize door.

Upon getting the prize, she looks at the prize, mesmerized. Before looking back at him, with uncertainty.

" It's for you. " He smiled.

Her eyes widen, and his under her hood.

The puppet sighed. " You again with your sugary actions. Can ya tone it down. I know it does make Yoshino look cute, but please, limit yourself.

He's chuckled. " Sure, sure. "

Geto looked back at Yoshino, and ask. " Do you wanna try alone, this time? "

Yoshino looked back. " Y-yes! "

Geto smiled.

Thud

Geto looked at the Girl that embraced him after losing every coin. Her ears are red, as she hid her face under her hood.

Yoshinon looked up at him. " The, sorry Geto-jii-san. Looks like our luck is still bad as ever. " She sheepishly apologize.

The lone arm embrace, grew tighter.

He patted her head. " Yosh, Yosh. Hahaha. "

She looked up at him, meeting his smile.

He lookedd back and asked. " How about we take a brrak, and eat our Takoyaki? "

She only nodded.

Chew Chew Chew

As Geto chew his food, he couldn't help but look at the solemn expression she wore.

With a smile, He patted her head. " Now, now, winning a stuff toy is not that important. Atleast you won one. "

She gave him a solemn smile, as Yoshinon spoke for her. " Fufufu, Geto-jii-san really knows how to comfort. However, Yoshino wants to win it for you. "

Her face heated up and looked down. She only recieve a smile and a pat on the head.

She looked up back at him again. A solemn smile, etched on her face.

The light from the dimming sky was reflected on his face. Illuminating a small smile, she couldn't help but embraced him tightly.

As the sky continues to get darker, Her smile quivered and faltered as a frown was now evident. Her eyes blurred as a stream of water slides down her cheek.

Sob Hic Sob Hic Sob

As her face nested upon his body, Geto pats her head.

" I-i don't wanna go... " She cried, as her hand clutched highly at the prize he gave earlier.

" ... I don't wanna disappear... " She cried once more, as the puppet stayed silent.

Geto only looked helplessly at the sky as he comforted her. Yet, in the spur of the moment, he suggested.

" Wanna go home with me? "

Sniffle Sniffle Sniffle

She looked up, her glossy eyes meeting his. Tears continues to slide down her cheek, andd his was etched.

Hearing no reply but a sniffle, he stated. " Wanna go home? "

Did I add too much sugar or not?
