"...Ah, I'm... sorry," he can't not feel bad, afterall, when making Mana remembering such a sad memory... But then, Mana revealed her religion. Hm? Odd looks? Ryouta tilted his head, like asking what's wrong with that. "...If I remember correctly, Karin is one, but I'm not sure... but what's wrong exactly about that? I mean, in Japan, if not Buddhist or Buddhist-Shinto, it's Christian, right? Granted, I'm not one, because I'm Buddhist-Shinto myself, but I don't think religion is that important, really... I don't mean that in a way that meant that I'm telling you that I'm atheist or something like that! I mean... eventually, religion meant to be there in a way that they ensure that human walked in road of virtue, right? How they do it is similar in some way, of course some practices are different, but the main use is more or less the same... And honestly, my family is lax about religion. If I convert, they'll allow it, but they said, I must be serious with it, otherwise they won't allow it."
Apparently he hit a bad jackpot when he asked her about her cooking ability. Quickly, he goes to the fridge and offered a pineapple juice to her. At the same time, she feed him again.
"Oh, so... oh... well, it's fine, you're good at desserts, I'm fine at cooking! Sure, I want to try your desserts... as for me, though, I'm... well, you can say I'm manly, and I cook my food in manly way. Uneven cuts? Check... really big pieces cuts? Check... Really really really power-using stirring and whatnots? Check. Ino and Kizu even comments that looking at me cooking extra sized fried rice is like looking at my muscles in action! I don't know why they said that, but it's really embarrassing! Speaking of foods, do you want one? A bento, I mean... I can cook you a bento... I know it sounded wrong because the one made it is the boy, but... Maybe that way I can help you lessen your load a bit? Plus I want you to taste my cooking!"
On the other room, it looks like Dracomon just grinned and resumed on munching his steak.

Mana listened attentively Ryouta's explanation as he feed her; apparently he was okay with her religion, and frankly was kinda confused about why that should be a problem, but not without apologizing about making her remember her great aunt. Mana sighed, but smiled at the end. There was some long-winded explanation incoming. "Well, Ōno was a small town and with more elderly that I'd like. And you know how most of them with their conservative ways behave about something remotely foreign. Granted, the looks were given when I visited a friend's house or something like that, but they were still there... and I just don't know. More often than not, my 'friend' just stopped talking me after his grandfather/grandmother whispered something to him and gave me a look. I know, it's really close-minded and retrograde, but I guess that it's not the children's fault, but the people who educate them's. Now that we're speaking of that, I gotta admit that I'm somewhat prejudiced about some stuff due to my upbringing" she said, feeling really embarassed about that "For example, I can't get through my homophobic streak, even trying hard to do it and I'm kinda prejudiced about nightclubs... but not much as of yet, as I've entered one in this exact same place with Ryoko-sama and its atmosphere was way better than what I expected, yet still I'm scared a little from the real world ones... Not that I'm going to enter them anytime soon, though".
Now it was his turn to speak again, but not before giving her some pineapple juice. How considerate. Mana smiled at the gesture, making a mental note to grab a drink for him after he was done speaking. She didn't know what he exactly liked. "By the way, Ryo-kun, what do you like drinking? The last time that I tried to invite you a drink you said that you prefered water, but you must like something besides it, right?". Grabbing whatever he said if there was some and hading it to him (or just water, if it wasn't there), she returned to the task of feeding him. "Well, we'll make a pretty good couple then!" she said playfully "And I'm really okay with your 'manly cooking'" the girl added, laughing "If anything, I'm quite curious about it. About you making my bento... you're going to make me blush, that'd be so cute of you! I don't know what the other girls will say when I tell them that you cooked for me when it should be the other way around, but that makes us even more special... I guess?".
She giggled at the scenario, but she'd okay with it. Eating food made by her very own boyfriend would compensate anything that some stranger would throw at her by a very large margin. "By the way, do you have any family besides your sisters and parents, Ryo-kun? I've talked about my uncle and my great aunt, but I haven't heard nothing about yours as of yet".

"Ahh, yeah... those kind of history about Christiany, huh... well, don't worry, I won't reject you because of that... but I still wonder if your parents would reject me instead? I mean, mixed religion marriage isn't something rare in this country, but if your parents are that conservative, then does it mean that they would find my religion something as an obstacle, then? It'll be troublesome if I got shot even before I could prove myself to them... And plus, it's not like I mind converting if it's meant to bring harmony to our family..."
Then, hearing her small prejudice, Ryouta chuckled. "I heard ya the first time... plus, don't you think this manly me is the exact thing you like in a boy? Anyway, I'll take some fruit mix juice over there, thanks. Just give me anything, but don't give me one with pineapple. I do like Ramune actually, but the matter is, I haven't got my breakfast just yet and that drinking one right after jogging is kind of bad..."
Hearing that she'd want his bento, he grinned. "Alright, drop by my house everyday, then! We lives somewhere close by, right? Or maybe I can drop by on your school? Where is it, by the way? I haven't heard where you actually study... Also... I did tell you about my uncle already... remember about that park thing? As for my grandma... Well, my grandparents still alive. they're in Hokkaido, currently... my maternal grandparents, that be. My uncle and aunt preferred to live there, so they're taking care of them... Oh yeah, I do have two younger cousins from them. Both of them are boys aged... eight currently, I guess. They really love me like a big bro! I wonder how would they react now that I can lift them easily, one of them on each arm?" he laughed.

"Don't worry about them, Ryo-kun" she said dismissively, waving off his apology "I really doubt they'd say anything about me. They can't, really, as they probably know that when I stop depending on them for economical support... I'd be free to make my life as I wish, despite their wishes. And if they want to be on my good side, they'll accept my choices as I have accepted theirs. I know it's harsh, but hey, I've to use whatever means I've at hand to get by... and I know they expect nothing less from me, as sad as that is".
She froze in her place when the boy said that she was repeating herself. Darn, again? "I already said it? Dang, sorry" she said a little embarassed "Sometimes I forget things and I repeat myself endlessly. It's just that I enjoy so much spending time with you that things seem to happen so fast and I don't know if I already said something or not and it's just I don't know!" she was sounding frantic, but inhaled really deeply to calm herself down. "I speak really fast when I'm anxious too, but... oh okay, I don't know why are you telling me things if I'm going to forget them".
She seemed to be genuinely sad at not remembering details that Ryouta had already told her. She wanted to know everything about him, but it was really to no avail if she would just forget things on the spot. Yet she couldn't but grin at his self-praise. Still, she searched for the things that Ryouta like (or didn't, most likely). "Well, maybe I'm forgetting things I've already said because I've to use most of my concentration in not to just drool over your body, Ryo-kun. You're so mean..." she said as she came back with his pineapple-less juice.
But then they returned to the topic about the bentos, and that made her really happy. "Well, our houses are pretty close actually, but, but if you want to get to my school for anything... do you know in which school Aria-chan goes to?" she asked back "I study in that same one. We're classmates, actually! And from a long time ago, I should say. I remember trying to her friend a long time ago, but she just seemed to not to be interested, so I shrugged and kept moving forward. If only I had known that it was because of her situation... I'd have tried harder, but that doesn't matter now, I guess. As long as there's time to remedy that, I guess it'll be okay. Also, I guess that she'll be really flustered if you come at my classroom and give me the bento! I'm really imagining her face!"
It was obvious that she'd love every second of teasing that she could get. Yet, the mention of Ryouta's little cousins almost made her squeal. "Oh, they must be so cute!" the girl immediately say "You're pretty lucky, Ryo-kun. Even if my extended family is so big... I barely know them. I wish I could see them someday and check if they're cool guys or not, but most of them live so far away..." she made a pause, becoming a little sad, but immediately cheering up afterwards "Anyway! Let me see if I can ask you a question that I haven't asked yet... Oh, I got it! How do you think your dive world thing will be? I gotta be prepared to that, if we're going it soon".

"T-that's.... I don't know what to say if my daughter said that to me..." Ryouta sighed, looking a bit depressed. "If she said it to my face like that, no matter how muscular I am, no matter how manly I am, I'll still cry like a little boy... But then again.... I guess the only way to avoid it is to give her enough freedom and constrict... Honestly, I wonder if I can be a good father later on..."
Still, to her comment that she's having short memory and whatnots, Ryouta grinned. "Ahhh, even if you have cat-like memory, I still can remind you a lot, Mana. It's fine, I don't mind... plus, don't try to change the conversation to my body or I'll make you regret it... no, maybe, you'll really feel at home instead? I'll definitely sleep together with you, together, in this room."
Then, she said something rather surprising.
"No way... you're my kouhai, then!? Whoa... I never knew! I'll definitely give you my second button once I graduated, then! Geez, to romance the little sister of someone from my school, and he turned out to be my kouhai... wow, just... wow? I never thought of that! I'll definitely ask you to have a lunch with me from times to times, then! Also, bet she'll be really surprised... She loves hot gossips actually... She told me she often use her oversized headphone as a cover to eavesdrop peoples... her hearing is actually quite sharp..."
When she commented about his extended family, he only can grin. "Yep, so cute! I'm actually quite good with kids as long as they're the timid type or the polite type... the naughty type... well, I tend to get them back, so not really... I love those two! They always make my visit there to be very worthy! And don't worry, Mana... one day, you can see them for sure..."
He stopped though, when she asked about his world. "...Well, that's the problem... not even I know what it's like, but... I just hope that it'll be merciful to you."

At Ryouta's concern, she hugged him tightly, in hopes of calming him. the food could wait... well, she was feeling somewhat satisfied as of now, as the first plate was almost empty. Probably the would just begin to eat the second and she'd be totally full. "Our daughter wouldn't say anything like that to you, Ryo-kun because... I'm sure that you'll be a loving father and would care for our children as if they were the precious beings they're gonna be" she said with some amount of sadness too. She'd wished for that kind of love from her very own parents for some time now, but it just seemed that they were uncapable of giving up
"By the way, what do you think of adopting? Okaa-san had this problem about her pregnancies; they just were high-risk ones, and after I was born, the doctors had to submit her to a tubal ligation because her next pregnancy would just too risky and... I don't know if I'll have that too. I'd be so sad if I couldn't bear your children but I guess that if it can't be helped... I'd love him as if you had given him to me".
At the bit about her memory being somewhat faulty, Mana just smiled and blushed, specially at the bit about the two of them sleeping together. The idea was extremely enticing to her, but... "I guess that I should bathe before sleeping. I still have some sand in my swimsuit and my body is all sticky due to the sunscreen, so... yeah".
She felt so embarassed, but luckily the topic changed about them actually being in the same school. Mana looked as surprised at him, but looking back at it... it was kinda obvious, wasn't it. "I should have suspected that, after all, nii-san was in detention with you and I went to the same school as him; how dumb. But that's great news, actually! Now, I can joke about our relationship beginning as an 'I hope senpai will notice me' type? That'd be so fun" she said, laughing "To be honest, I don't pay that much attention to my classmates too, but as of now, I kinda regret not doing so... that way I'd have seen you sooner!".
And then, the topic changed to her extended family. "I'll have to meet them sooner or later, then! If they make you so happy, they'll make me happy too! And my family... I guess that sooner or later, I'll travel across Japan to meet them all, at least once. It'd be so sad to die without knowing all your family, don't you think?".
His world was an entirely different matter altogether, though. It kinda made her nervous, but she was willing to do anything for her, so she ultimately smiled. "And if it's not, don't worry! I'll find my way through it. I can be resourceful when it matters, and helping you become stronger matters... a lot".

He relaxed when she calmed him down with the hug and the gentle words... He felt really better afterall... He kissed her forehead just to tell her how it meant a lot for him. However, she suddenly asked if he's fine with adoption. He tilted his head, but understood it immediately when she said afterward... it's basically a really complicated birth that is really dangerous to boot... He doesn't want to lose her nor the baby, so... He's really fine with adoption.
"...Well, I definitely won't mind at all. I honestly think that if we cannot have one biologically, then it's best if we adopt... I think it'll ease our mind when we're already old... Still, that brought me to question, though... Ummm... this is not a great deal, alright? So... eh... you know, I sorta have that kind of relationship with my uncle... adopted, I mean... not directly, but... he's like a second father to me. He's married, but for some reason, it doesn't looks like he's going to have one anytime soon... So... I don't know whether you'll object or not, plus, it's still so long, but... Do you mind if regardless of we have a child biologically or not, I'll adopt a child, of opposite gender to ours?"
Still, the conversation took to different turn when she said she'll have to take a bath first.
"So do I, I guess... but you seem to like my sweaty body..." he teased. "Also, isn't that exactly how our romance? 'Sempai, please notice me'... but eh... I never did until just now... and it's a bit too late... still, I'm willing to make up for it, though..."
He stroke her head and smiled when she seem interested to meet her extended cousin. "...Hmmm... extended families... I remember my grandma said about a far relative living in Ono, but I'm unsure what else did she said... The relative is... like her cousin? I don't know either..."

At Ryouta's proposal, Mana smiled widely, it had been a pretty excellent idea. "Yeah, of course I wouldn't mind! It'd so cute if our daughter had a brother or our son a sister, although if we had a son, I'd be worried that he'd be so much of a womanizer than our little daughter would be smitten by him and we would have to separate them or something like that. I'm already imagining the scenario! By the way, would you want them to be of the same age? Or you would wish for any of them to be older or younger? I think that if they were the same age, there would be less jealousy issues, as they'd basically grow together and they wouldn't notice the difference when the other grows and has different needs and all that. But to be honest, I'd totally pamper the girl a little bit more, so I'm counting on you to balance that!".
She laughed at the boy describing their relationship just exactly as she had dubbed it. "Well, that's our history, but I didn't even know that you were my senpai in first place! It'd have made this all the way more fitting. As the way that it happened now, it sounds like one of those cheesy dramas!" but quickly changed into the next topic... sleeping together "To be honest, I wouldn't mind sleeping snuggled to your sweaty self, but I'd have to bathe again before going to anywhere else and while I don't hate bathing, I think that that time would be better spent by being alongside you, don't you think?".
So Ryouta had family in her hometing, that opened more than one interesting possibility. "Um, probably I know your grandma's relative, or his sons or grandsons, as Ōno is a really small town. Heh, with any luck we are those relatives and we end up being really distant cousins! That would be neat... but really awkward. I mean, being in love with my distant cousin without even knowing it was my cousin or that he attended my same school would be... scary, for the lack of a better word. But it'd be a really funny story to tell our children nonetheless".
After they finished eating, and pretty satisfied with herself, she yawned softly. "You know, I'm a little bit sleepy. This day has been just too long. I think that I'll just take a quick bath and then nap a little. Hopefully when I wake up Nami-chan will be already up and we can begin with your dream world thingy. Don't miss me too much!".
And saying that, she grabbed her backpack and marched towards the bathroom.

"Heh, as long as it's not incest, it'll be fine, in my opinion... but yeah, it'll be a pity if they have to be separated just because one of them fall in love with another... also, why for some reason it's finalized that we're going to have a boy for our biological child?" he joked. "Still, if our biological child is male... I wonder, which side would he inherit most? I kinda already imagined he got my looks slightly, but with your hair and eyes maybe? But because both of his parents are dang strong..." Ryouta teased, referring to Mana's higher than average strength, at least girl wise. "would be become stronger than even me? That sounds rather scary! Also, if he inherit my gene, then wouldn't he actually... buff? Plus your gene, so he'll be tall, too! That's something to be quite worried about... He'll be a real lady killer like that! Also... same age sounds great, yeah... Ino and Kizu rarely fights... maybe that's because their solidarity as twins... But when I asked them about it, they said something like this..."
Ryouta tried to remember the exact words... he doesn't seem to be sure of it, but regardless, he said it.
"Basically, Inori said she and Kizu aren't like that because they're siblings, but more to the fact that they're so close to each other in age, so they felt a certain solidarity. None of them can be protective of another without sounding bossy or overbearing... none of them can order one another without sounding selfish and 'older sister' like... There's no gap between them, so they can interact so freely... I guess that's true... Me and Ren aren't as close as they are... Ren thinks he should respect me, his older brother... he loves me, but there's some barrier like... like age gap, I guess... Plus, our world is rather different... no matter how close we are, we brothers are as different as sun and moon. But hey, doesn't matter, we're still close!"
He stroked her head when she told him she preferred to be with him, and he honestly fine with that, but... he brushed his finger on her nose gently. "You sounds like a little kid who doesn't want to be separated from her favorite doll," he joked. "Not that I mind... I'll always right here beside you... you can shout my name, I'll come to you..."
He laughed when she said how scary it is if he's her far cousin for real, and how that he's her sempai and finally her boyfriend at the same time. Ryouta thinks, that's just fate playing around, but... he doesn't mind that. He's happy if that's the case. Soon, though, she finally looks sleepy. Ryouta grinned and kissed her cheek when she told him to not miss her, as she's going to take a bath.
"Five minutes already long enough, Mana... long enough."

"I haven't said that we'd surely have a boy!" she pouted "I just guess that seeing a small version if you with my hair color or eye color would be just too cute, though. You totally have to show me some pictures you had as baby, I'm pretty sure that you were the cutest baby out there!".
She couldn't but feel moved at the relationship Ryouta's sisters had. They were as close as somebody could get to her sister, and that was so... hearwarming. "Hopefully our children will be as close. I'd be so proud of them if they could pull that one off, but anyway... we're thinking way too ahead of time again. What were we talking about... oh right".
Mana nodded happily when Ryouta stroke her head. She could be that way all day long, but the sleepiness was already taking over her body, and she didn't want to sleep with her skin that sticky from the sunscreen. "Well, I'm still a girl! I have the right of being fond of my toys! Even if they aren't exactly toys but much, much more. My Ryo-kun is not a toy to be honest... but I feel as if no amount of time is too much to be with you, so that makes me feel as if I were your toy actually. A toy that is always waiting for his favorite person to play with her. Okay, I suck at metaphors so I'll just shut up and enter the bathroom".
And she did so, smiling widely that he'd totally miss her if she took more than five minutes in there. She bathed throughtly, making sure to get rid of all the sunscreen, dried herself after the ordeal and finally donned her pajamas; a short-sleeved light blue blouse and matching shortpants. She wasn't used to sleep in normal clothes, so she was lucky about having brought them.
She exited the bathroom with a yawn, looking to be almost at the brink of falling sleep. She got inside the bed almost automatically, as her eyes constantly fluttered, almost in the brink of sleep. "Good night, Ryo-kun" she said affectively as she closed her eyes, not seeming to mind that the lights were still turned on. Maybe she was a little too tired.

"The problem is it's with my Obaa-san, so you have to go to Hokkaido if you want to see it... Maybe I'll bring you there sometimes if your parents allow it... or when you go on field trip there. See, when we moved, the stuff we have to move to our apartment is so much... and the first apartment is so small, so... want it or not, Okaa-san forced to send everything she doesn't really need to my grandparents... and then... the photo album also... hold many happy memories of me back then... The 10 years old me felt it's like adding salt to the wound, so... I told her to send it away... sorry about that. But if you want, I definitely can ask Obaa-san to send it back."
He smiled at her wish, he definitely wished the same so he nodded. "I really hope so, too... even if they're not related, it's best if they can get unto that level of siblinghood. "Also, what are you talking about? That's quite nifty metaphors you got there!" Ryouta praised.
Finally, she goes to have some bath. Ryouta knocked the room to the next door. "...Ayaka... can I ask permission to -innocently- sleep with Mana?" he asked. Of course, he put specific intonation on the innocent, to make her understand that he's not going to do anything weird with her. "...Just tell if I'm forcing it, though..."
And when she's back, he kissed her forehead as a good night kiss and turned off the lamp. He goes to the bathroom, to clean himself up from all the sweats and all the leftover sands. He does't have anything ready, so he might have to sleep in his jeans and a-shirt afterall... Well, that's fine... As for now, he just hoped everything going to be alright.

When Ryouta knocked the door, Ayaka was already waiting for that request. For the moment, she was okay with it. "I already said that physical gestures are alright as long as you respect her, Ryouta-san. I would advice you to tread carefully, lest you want to incur my wrath, but the feeling that you already know that is already present on my mind. Enjoy yourselves".
By her tone, it was tad obvious that she wasn't exactly ecstatic with the situation, but she knew that Ryouta was a good boy, and more importantly, that he had saved Mana's life and... in her last words, she had implied a 'Thank you'. She knew that she was playing hard to please, but even if Mana seemed happy as of now, she had seemed happy too when she accepted to be Charles' boyfriend, only for their relationship to deteriorate like a rose in the middle of a desert. She didn't want that to happen again; Mana would hate to go through that same thing again, and if Ayaka could avoid that, she would. It wasn't a really hard test, at least in the fairy's eyes, but a little resistance would make him appreciate her more at the end. Or so she guessed.
And so, Mana slept peacefully on the joined beds. Yet, it was as if something was amiss. It seemed that, in her unconscious state, she looked to hug something and lightly moved every now and then, as if trying to find it.

Ayaka gave him her consent apparently, which is good. He grinned and muttered 'I gotcha' to the door. That's where it continues to him taking a bath. Ryouta cannot believe his luck... He just found someone who dared to go very serious with him, and it's really... a happy thought. After he wash himself clean and took a bath like usual, he dried himself and put on his clothes, his previous clothes he used when he's with Mana in Spartan Training Ground.
When he got out, it's as if Mana is looking for him. He chuckled at the mere thought of the girl missing him already. He lifted her hand slightly and laid himself beside him before pulling her closer for a hug. He kissed her forehead, assuring her that he's beside her... He put her arm on top of him, to let her hug him.
"Don't worry, I won't go away... not from you, Mana... I love you."
And so, the black haired boy also drifted to sleep, hugging his beloved. For the first time, Ryouta's sleep was completely still. He did not fell off his bed nor sleep messily like how he generally do.

Mana's incesant search for something to hug came to an end when a gentle hand pulled one of her arms and she felt a warm body hugging hers. She smiled almost instantly at the contact; a small, yet angelic smiled was graced her face as the boy hugged and spoke to her unconscious self. Yet, there was an answer. It was an extremely soft, almost faint whisper. "Ryo-kun... I love you".
Even though that Mana was usually prone to have nightmares and do shifts and turns while she slept, this time, an almost completely different scenario happened. She laid almost perfectly still, excluiding the ocassional snuggle into the boy and the ocassional 'Ryo-kun...' whisper. It was as if the dream scenario she had when Liollmon had put her into sleep had repeated itself, but this time, Mana seemed to be even more happy than that time.
As the couple slept, Ayaka couldn't but wonder on what would happen after their little nap was over. Both Mana and she would have to fight against Ryouta's unconscious mind, in a struggle she had yet to decipher. It seemed to be a really complicated scenario, but she knew that they'd do alright. She had this feeling that the loved that had bloomed today was a strong flower; it'd have to course through many adversities, and it'd be put to test more than one time, but Ayaka had faith in them. She had faith that this time it'd be different; that this time Mana's most special person would be able to understand her complex self, to understand that while she looked like a happy and cheerful girl, there was more to her than just that seemingly bland face value, and that she needed someone strong at her side or otherwise... she'd just crumble, no matter how much she tried to protect her.
