Chapter 61 - Rendezvouz

09:30 a.m.

I'm currently waiting for Rina at a park near our home.

It was currently weekend and it was time for our date.

After waking up I asked her where she wanted to go but she just told me to wait at the park, insisting for us to meet here.

I had the urge to point ou that if we were engaging in such a cliche situation, although not with this words, then this was definitely a date, for as much as she tried to deny, but I restrained myself.

She was enthusiastic but tense as well. I didn't wanted to make her feel too uncomfortable so I stayed quiet. It was a little funny seeing her denying that this was a date, even though no one said anything, while muttering with herself about what to wear without noticing that I could hear her.

But in all honesty, I was looking forward for this as well. I never had any experience in dating, whether in this life or my previous one, so I wanted to make the most of it as possible.

I never was someone that cared much for over complicated clothing or dressing with thousands of different pieces of clothes, preferring to wear simple but still elegant clothes.

I also didn't want Rina to think that I would just because I was with her I would take anything from my closet, so I at least made the effort of buying a new pair of pants and a new shirt.

I was currently wearing my new pants, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a crimson shirt that had just a few details of decoration.

I was sitting on a bench, calmingly waiting for Rina to arrive.

Around me I could see families walking through the park, couples holding their hands, parents playing with their children, animals playing with their owners.

People were simple and thoroughly enjoying their weekend.

The sun was shone brightly over the place, not too hot to make it easier for people to sweat and not too cold to make it necessary to wear extra layers of clothes.

In short, it was what most people would call a perfect morning.

I closed my ayes, enjoying the calming effect that the sun was having on me, and my mind went to how things have being going lately at school.

Yurika seemed to be adjusting very well to her school life. She was very popular, something obvious but that need to be said, and was already developing her own circle of friends, besides me and my sisters.

Anna-nee had resumed her old activities in the Student Council. She didn't had a very prominent position in it like she would have in her original story, but she was on the it's members that helped the Treasurer, the one responsible for financial matters. I might have prevented her from over taxing herself with responsibilities, bu she still wanted to do her part in managing the student body. That part of her hadn't changed.

Rina didn't had any responsibility or was interested in anything that might give her too much trouble, but she did have an active social life. She often could be found talking lively with her friends, whether it was at school or outside. Suffice to say that she certainly wasn't lacking in that department.

As for me, nothing really changed. The subjects at school at most were always relatively easy, thanks to the memories of my past life, so they wouldn't ever be too much trouble.

Things only changed for me in regards of my post school time.

The karate club was essentially an extra class, with Subaru acting as it's teacher. The activities formally started on the second week of school, but he asked me to come in the first week of school to judge how was my physical condition so that he could have a better idea on how he would deal with me.

Thanks to my daily routine I was in good shape, so it wasn't that difficult for me to do the exercises he demanded of me. On the second week he started to teach me and the other students on the proper techniques, guiding on how to best use our bodies to effectively fight someone that is trying to harm us.

It was nothing to fancy our difficult, just a few punches and kicks and a few variations. He didn't put me to fight with anyone, warning that it was to soon, and I was glad he didn't. I was far from ready to challenge any of the students with the colorful belts. I knew that if I tried to do that right now I would just get my ass handed in a few seconds.

Another thing that changed in my school life was how other students were reacting to my presence. I'd like to think that I was reasonably good looking, not a model or anything but above of what people would consider to be average, but I could see that many of the girls that before would only give a passing glance at me were often looking at my direction with slightly reddened cheeks. Some were even starting conversation with me for no apparent reason.

The boys were often looking their eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Most of them were annoyed at the sudden rise of popularity that I was experiencing. Hiroki was probably one of the very few that didn't cared for this, most of the time just trying to poke fun of me for suddenly having become a 'girl's magnet', as he put.

That was likely a result of [Pheromone Aura(Passive)].

Besides my sisters and Yurika there wasn't any girl at school that I was interested, so I mostly just laughed it off and tried to not escalate the situation where someone might challenge me to a duel or anything like that. Although I have to admit, receiving the attention of girls and envy of the boys was more fun than I though that possibly could.

Suddenly I felt someone shaking my shoulders.

"Onii-chan, Onii-chan"

I opened my eyes and right in front of me was Rina.

She took some distance from me once she noticed that I opened my eyes and, with her hands on her hips, looked at me with a fed up expression.

"Geez, how could you go sleeping like that in the middle of the morning?" she asked.

"Haha, I wasn't sleeping, just enjoying the sun" I said, releasing a small dry laugh.

"Yeah, I've being calling you for almost a minute and you were just enjoying the sun, right?" said Rina, clearly doubting me.

"Hahahah" I could only laugh from the awkwardness.

I found it a little unfair to think that I actually would sleep outside like that, but considering that she had to shake me to catch my attention didn't played in my favor, so I kept my mouth shut.

Instead of foolishly trying to defend myself, I looked at what Rina was wearing.

Rina hair in the usual twintails, she was wearing a tight pair of dark blue jeans together with a tight withe shirt and a small yellow cardigan. Her outfit perfectly accentuated her still in development figure and transmitted a refreshing and casual atmosphere.

I liked to see girls in skirts like any other guy but I also had the opinion that Rina mashed better with tight jeans, and her current appearance just made that opinion even more firm in my mind.

"You look very nice Rina" I appraised her honestly.

"H-Hmph, t-thank you" said Rina looking sideways, trying to sound miffed but unable to hide the smile on her face.

I took the opportunity to grab her hand and take her to our destination.

"Come one, let's go to our date" I said.

"W-wah, I-I already told Onii-chan, I-I just need your help to carry my stuff! And can you-" said Rina.

"Isn't that what boyfriends do on dates?" I interrupted.

"B-B-B-B-Bo-!" stammered Rina.

"Oh, I also heard about a movie that you might like" I continued.

"Wait Onii-chan! What did you just-!" Rina tried to protest.

And thus, we went to our date.
