Chapter 74: Best Party, Best Gear.
1083 Words
After crafting everyone gears to perfect grade, everyone immediately log out because we decided to meet up in real life.
Creating their equipment is no easy feat. Everyone has some preference to their equipment that makes it a pain in the ass to do. I still do it anyway because I treat my friends properly and everyone who is my friends will get their chances to be great with my help.
But, still though, making weapon perfectly for other people, it takes a while. The only one who knows what the best weapon for them are the person themselves. I have no saying against what the best weapon for them unless they tell me their preference... Because of this hardship that I got to go through, everyone decided to treat me.
"Hey hey, Shiro~ Thank you for your assistance on making my weapon~"
Michi is clinging to me like there's no tomorrow. While my face looked like it has seen a better day. The reason why my face looks like this is because I've been stressing out from making HER weapon....
"Yes, of course. What wouldn't I do for my dearest Michi? So, can you stop clinging to me and give me some space? I would like to rest up and collect all the scattered soul."
"Ah... Okay. Sure, take your time~"
Michi understands my struggles. I had to make five magus swords for her. Due to Magus Blade property, I need to learn the recipe manually from a recipe that I bought from an NPC. It takes a lot of gold to buy her recipe because Magus Blade is not an easy thing to learn!
Not to mention, crafting it is also harder than crafting other weapon. When creating Staff and Katana for Dion and Sakura, it doesn't take a lot of time because the weapon is not a unique weapon...
That's why, I decided that, cooling my head off is the best option for calming myself up. Since if I went out with a blazing head, it would just fries my head off...
Anyway... We get to our car and I immediately blasted the AC on full power...
"Shiro, Dion and Sakura wants to meet up at the usual Mall. Are you okay with that choice? Or do you want to go somewhere else? If so, both of them are fine with your choice."
"Oh, if we're going to the mall, why not we go to a café? I don't know which café, but I can ask some of my connection to see where to go!"
"That would be delightful! I'll tell Dion and Sakura about this!"
"Sure thing."
We started driving toward the mall where we usually go. There's some Café on the mall that I know of, but I don't know which café is the best. I'm thinking of going somewhere completely random, but it would be nice if I have someone that can actually give me some advice about where to go.
Nonetheless, I decided to go fast anyway despite me not knowing where to go.
"Dion and Sakura. Are they coming with us? Or do we need to go pick them up?"
If we do need to pick them up, then I need to turn the car around immediately before it's too late.
"Oh, Those two are gonna be there with their own car. So we don't need to pick them up right now. Which is a nice information for me~ I got to ride with just you, Shiro~"
Michi lean very far towards me. Which is not something that I deemed as 'safe' but at the same time, it's a rare thing to happen. So, I don't want to stop her... I decided to go to a more slower lane and then lasered focus on keeping the direction of the car straight and keep on the speed limit.
"Hehe~ You want to kiss too, right? C'mere my little cutie~"
"Oh lord, I don't know why, Michi... But you're so freaking cute right now."
I can't help but felt a little bit warm in my heart. It's... Been a while since I felt this excited and fuzzy around Michi. Lately, I've been feeling a bit empty inside. I need her warmth more than anything else... I think she's the same too. Because her smile is the type of smile that I would like to protect no matter what's going on...
"Michi... Kiss me please."
"I will kiss you three time right now. So, sit tight~"
She did kiss me three time. None of them on my lips. On my neck. She kissed me on my neck and leave some mark that is not easy to erase...
"Why... Did you do that? You know I'm expecting to be kissed properly... Right?"
"Of course~ But if I did, you'll close your eyes and not focused on the road. Even though I want to kiss you, I still want to be alive after this. I'll kiss you another three times later. Just wait, okay?"
A bit disappointed with that. But nonetheless, I'm waiting for that moment to come... Michi just grinned while looking at me and pat me on my head.
"Don't worry, I'm going to keep my promise~"
I smiled back at her and then focused up on the drive again...
After a while, we finally reach the mall where we're supposed to meet up with Dion and Sakura. Michi, the moment we stepped out of the car, she immediately tangled her arms around my arm like she's declaring I'm hers.
I know for a fact that everyone is looking at us. Do they know we're OneSec and Mercy? If so, this step is pretty necessary so that we won't be bothered. Just two people on a date, don't bother us.
"Hey Shiro, people are staring at us. Do you know why?"
"I mean, they're looking at us with some intent behind it. Not just admiration. So, I think they know we're OneSec and Mercy that's why they're staring at us. The step you take, which is tangling your arms around mine is good, that forced them to not bother us."
"Oh, I just wrapped my arms around yours because I just want to hug you. Not because I have any other motives."
"... Well, that's fine too. You can hug me all the time and I'm fine with it."
I don't know why, but we're very flirty today. I just decided to enjoy it even though I'm confused...
